Compared with other common energy storage technologies, flywheel energy storage has the advantages of high power density, high energy storage density, high efficiency, short response time, long service life, and environmental friendliness; for existing flywheel energy storage devices such as the patent with the patent number CN111541335B, its axial space occupancy is still relatively large. Mechanical bearings are mainly used in the flywheel energy storage system to support rotating components and reduce friction. Although mechanical bearings have the advantages of strong load-bearing capacity and low friction coefficient, the precision requirements for mechanical bearings are high. Therefore, their manufacturing cost is relatively high, and there are certain requirements for the use environment, and the installation and maintenance are relatively cumbersome. Therefore, a five-degree-of-freedom magnetic levitation flywheel energy storage device is proposed. Content of the Utility Model
