Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the field of motor rotors. More specifically, the utility model relates to a U-shaped three-section embedded asymmetric magnet outer rotor and a motor. Background Art

[0002] Wind turbines usually adopt permanent magnet synchronous motors (PMSMs) as their core driving devices. Such motors utilize permanent magnets to generate a synchronous rotating magnetic field, achieving efficient energy conversion. According to the arrangement of permanent magnets, permanent magnet synchronous motors can be divided into surface permanent magnet synchronous motors (SPMSMs) and embedded permanent magnet synchronous motors (IPMSMs). Permanent magnet synchronous motors are widely used in the field of wind power generation due to their advantages such as high efficiency, simple structure, high power factor, and low losses.

[0003] The magnet arrangement methods of traditional permanent magnet synchronous motors mainly include two types: symmetric arrangement and asymmetric arrangement. These arrangement methods have some deficiencies in the single-direction working state:

[0004] 1. Magnets in symmetric arrangement are usually evenly distributed, with the same shape and magnetic properties for each pole magnet. Although this arrangement method has a simple structure, it has the following disadvantages:

[0005] Low efficiency: Symmetric arrangement cannot fully utilize the magnetic properties of the magnets under single-direction working conditions, resulting in a reduction in motor efficiency.

[0006] High harmonic content: Symmetric arrangement makes the air-gap magnetic density distribution uneven, increasing the total harmonic content of the motor and affecting the stability and efficiency of the motor.

[0007] Mechanical vibration and noise: Symmetric arrangement leads to large torque fluctuations, increasing the mechanical vibration and noise of the motor.

[0008] 2. Magnets in asymmetric arrangement are arranged asymmetrically by changing the length, angle, or shape of the magnets. Compared with symmetric arrangement, the asymmetric magnet arrangement has the following advantages:

[0009] Improved efficiency: Asymmetric arrangement can better utilize the magnetic properties of the magnets, improving the efficiency of the motor.

[0010] Reduced harmonic content: Asymmetric arrangement can optimize the air-gap magnetic density distribution, reducing the harmonic content of the motor and enhancing the stability of the motor.

[0011] Reduced vibration and noise: Asymmetric arrangement can reduce torque fluctuations, lower mechanical vibration and noise, and improve the running smoothness of the motor.

[0012] In addition to symmetric and asymmetric arrangements, the shape of the permanent magnets in a permanent magnet synchronous motor also affects its performance. Common magnet shapes include straight and V-shaped. The straight magnet is the simplest magnet shape, with the magnets arranged in a straight bar. Its advantages are simple design and manufacturing, but it has insufficient mechanical strength during high-speed rotation and poor performance in terms of magnetic flux concentration and harmonic control. The V-shaped magnet arrangement makes each pair of magnets arranged in a V shape. This arrangement can improve the magnetic flux concentration ability compared to the straight shape, reducing the cogging torque and harmonic content. However, the V-shaped magnets usually result in uneven distribution of magnetic flux in different paths, which may increase magnetic leakage, thereby reducing the utilization efficiency of the magnetic flux and affecting the overall performance of the motor. Summary of the Invention

[0013] The object of the present invention is to provide a U-shaped three-section embedded asymmetric magnet outer rotor and motor. By arranging the magnets in a U shape, it can better concentrate the magnetic flux, improve the magnetic flux utilization rate, reduce the harmonic content and torque ripple, thereby enhancing the performance and stability of the motor.

[0014] The technical solution of the present invention to solve the above technical problems is as follows: A U-shaped three-section embedded asymmetric magnet outer rotor includes a rotor core, and further includes:

[0015] Multiple groups of magnet groups evenly distributed circumferentially on the rotor core. Each magnet group includes three magnets with the same thickness. Both ends of each magnet are provided with magnetic bridges. The three magnets are close to each other at the head and tail and are arranged in an asymmetric U shape, and the U-shaped opening formed by them faces the center of the rotor core. Grooves corresponding to the number of magnets and in one-to-one correspondence are provided on the rotor core, and the magnets are embedded in the corresponding grooves.

[0016] Further, in the U-shaped three-section embedded asymmetric magnet outer rotor, among the three magnets of each magnet group, the lengths of the two end magnets located on both sides are different.

[0017] Further, in the U-shaped three-section embedded asymmetric magnet outer rotor, the angles between the middle magnet and the two side magnets are not equal and are both greater than 90°.

[0018] Further, in the U-shaped three-section embedded asymmetric magnet outer rotor, the angles between the two side magnets and the surface of the rotor core are both less than 90°.

[0019] Further, in the U-shaped three-section embedded asymmetric magnet outer rotor, the magnetization directions of the three magnets in each magnet group are the same.

[0020] Further, in the U-shaped three-section embedded asymmetric magnet outer rotor, the magnet groups are set to eight groups.

[0021] The present utility model also provides a permanent magnet synchronous motor, which includes the U-shaped three-section embedded asymmetric magnet outer rotor described in any one of the above.

[0022] The beneficial effects of the present utility model are as follows:

[0023] 1. For the U-shaped three-section embedded asymmetric magnet outer rotor of the present utility model, compared with the symmetric magnet structure, through the asymmetric magnet design, the harmonic distortion during the motor operation is effectively reduced under the unidirectional operation condition, and the noise and vibration are reduced.

[0024] 2. For the U-shaped three-section embedded asymmetric magnet outer rotor of the present utility model, through the design of the U-shaped structure, it has higher magnetic flux concentration and utilization rate compared with the I-shaped and V-shaped rotors, reduces magnetic flux leakage, provides better mechanical strength and electromagnetic performance, and is applicable to application scenarios requiring high power density and high efficiency.

[0025] 3. For the U-shaped three-section embedded asymmetric magnet outer rotor of the present utility model, the torque ripple is reduced through the structure of the asymmetric magnet, and the smooth operation performance and dynamic response performance of the motor are improved.

[0026] 4. The U-shaped three-section embedded asymmetric magnet outer rotor of the present utility model adopts an embedded magnet structure. The inductance of the q-axis of this structure is larger than that of the d-axis, making the armature reaction of the q-axis also relatively higher than that of the d-axis. The magnetic circuit saturation phenomenon occurs more simply, improving the magnetic flux utilization rate, optimizing the magnetic field distribution, reducing the magnetic flux distortion, and improving the efficiency and performance of the motor; at the same time, the embedded design improves the bonding strength between the magnet and the iron core, enhances the stability of the overall structure, reduces the later maintenance cost, and extends the service life of the motor.

[0034] Eight magnet groups 2 evenly distributed along the circumferential direction on the rotor core 1. Each magnet group 2 includes three magnets 21 with the same thickness. Both ends of each magnet 21 are provided with magnetic bridges 22. The three magnets 21 are arranged end to end and are asymmetrically distributed in a U shape, and the U-shaped opening formed by them faces the center of the rotor core 1. Grooves corresponding to the number of magnets 21 are provided on the rotor core 1, and the magnets 21 are embedded in the corresponding grooves. The air gap of the outer rotor is on the side of the rotor close to the axis. The concentrating magnetic field and the air gap magnetic field generated on the side of the groove and the magnet 21 close to the air gap are also on the side of the rotor close to the axis;

[0035] Among them, as Figure 3 shown in, among the three magnets 21 of the magnet group 2, the lengths of the two magnets 21 at both sides are different. Figure 3 The length L2 of the magnet 21 on the right side in is greater than the length L1 of the magnet 21 on the left side, so that the angles θ2 and θ3 between the middle magnet 21 and the two magnets 21 on both sides are not equal and are both greater than 90°; the angles θ1 and θ4 between the two magnets 21 on both sides and the surface of the rotor core 1 are both less than 90°.

[0036] Furthermore, in the U-shaped three-section embedded asymmetric magnet outer rotor, the magnetization directions of the three magnets 21 of the magnet group 2 are the same. The magnetization directions of the three magnets 21 are kept consistent, or the N poles are uniformly oriented towards the center of the U shape formed by them, or the S poles are uniformly oriented towards the center of the U shape formed by them. As Figure 3 shown in, the N poles are uniformly oriented towards the center of the U shape formed by them.
