Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model belongs to a variable frequency motor, in particular to a coaxial variable frequency motor. Background Art
[0002] With the rapid development of industrial automation, the combination of frequency converter and motor is becoming more and more widely used. This integrated design aims to improve the compactness and convenience of the equipment. There are two main combination methods on the market, namely placing the frequency converter in the motor's junction box and installing the frequency converter on the rear end cover of the motor.
[0003] Analysis of defects in existing technologies:
[0004] 1. Inverter in the junction box:
[0005] Heat dissipation problem: Since the inverter generates a lot of heat when working, an effective heat dissipation system is required to ensure its normal operation. However, this method places the inverter in the junction box of the motor, and heat dissipation requires an independent cooling fan, which adds additional maintenance costs and complexity. At the same time, this may also lead to low heat dissipation efficiency, affecting the stability and life of the inverter.
[0006] Low protection level: Placing the inverter in the motor's junction box may expose it to more environmental factors, such as dust, moisture, etc. This may reduce the inverter's protection level and affect its reliability and stability.
[0007] Space occupied: Due to the large size of the junction box, this method may increase the overall size of the equipment, which is not conducive to space-constrained application environments.
[0008] 2. The inverter installed on the rear cover of the motor:
[0009] Natural cooling: In this mode, the inverter does not have a dedicated heat dissipation system, but relies on natural cooling. When working at a continuous high load, the inverter temperature may rise, affecting its performance and life.
[0010] Energy consumption: Without an effective heat dissipation system, the inverter may overheat, which in turn increases its energy consumption. This may increase operating costs for equipment that runs for a long time or under high load.
[0011] Limited application environment: Due to the lack of specific protective measures, this method may make the inverter more susceptible to certain environmental factors, such as moisture, dust, etc. This limits its application in certain environments.
[0012] Summary: Although the existing integrated design of the inverter and motor combination has achieved compactness of the equipment to a certain extent, there are still obvious problems in heat dissipation, protection and energy consumption. For manufacturers and users, how to solve these problems while ensuring the compactness of the equipment and improve the stability and energy efficiency of the equipment will be an important direction for future research and development.

[0027] The following are specific creative advantages and technical effects:
[0028] Efficient heat dissipation design: The inverter housing installed on the rear cover is equipped with an air duct, which enhances the heat dissipation effect of the inverter and improves the stability and life of the equipment.
[0029] Space saving: Since the inverter is integrated inside the motor, the overall installation space remains unchanged or changes little, which makes the design more applicable in space-constrained environments.

[0035] In summary, the utility model provides a coaxial variable frequency motor with high heat dissipation performance, space saving, high protection level, convenient wiring and easy integration, which has broad application prospects and commercial value.
[0036] The utility model has the advantages and technical effects: the utility model creates that the frequency converter is integrated on the rear end cover of the motor, and at the same time, an air duct is provided at the outer end of the frequency converter housing to enhance the heat dissipation effect of the frequency converter. This design not only improves the compactness of the equipment, but also maintains the same installation space as the original motor, reduces the space occupied by the control box and the line change; it can be realized, and is not limited to, the original size space and original line replacement of the AC asynchronous motor.
[0037] On-site commissioning test:
[0038] Ambient temperature and load conditions: Ambient temperature is about 50℃, slow load, motor works continuously, inverter driven, and variable frequency speed control is required.
[0039] The original motor is an asynchronous motor, which is difficult to start. Due to the large load inertia, the motor cannot be started at one time and can only be started by jogging. Otherwise, the starting current is large, the motor heats up seriously, and the control switch trips due to the large current. The jogging start causes very serious wear, low efficiency and power factor, and high energy consumption.
[0040] The inverter and fan blades of the utility model are installed coaxially, and there is no need to change the original control system circuit, and the interchangeability is very good. Through variable frequency starting, the startup can be completed in one go, and the starting current is low. The motor efficiency and power factor are high, which reduces the current of the system. When working continuously for a long time, the energy saving effect is obvious, and it is not easy to be damaged. The original motor is T--7.5kW, the motor efficiency is 84%, the efficiency of the utility model is 94%, and the theoretical energy saving rate is 10%. The test results of the power analyzer on site in December 2023 are: the power input power of the original motor is 6.23kW, the power input power of this product is 5.4kW, the energy saving rate is (6.23-5.4) ÷ 6.23 = 13.3%, and the actual energy saving rate reaches 13-16%.
[0041] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included in the protection scope of the present invention.
