Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of power supply energy storage systems, in particular to a heat transfer structure for reducing the heat transfer between a storage flywheel motor and a rotor. Background Art
[0002] At present, the motor and the rotor use a coaxial or key coupling for torque transmission. However, with this rigid connection method, the heat generated by the motor coil is directly transmitted to the flywheel rotor through the direct contact between the motor rotor shaft and the key coupling, causing the flywheel body to heat up. The operating temperature of the flywheel is within 80°C. The motor has a water cooling system, and the operating temperature of the motor can be ensured by cooling the motor housing. However, the flywheel rotor has no cooling system, and at the same time, the flywheel rotor needs to operate in a quasi-vacuum environment. Therefore, neither air cooling nor water cooling is applicable to the flywheel rotor. After a long time, when the flywheel rotor reaches a certain temperature, it will cause the machine to stop.
[0003] At present, the flywheels operating in the project often experience high-temperature alarms during operation, resulting in machine stops. The high temperature of the rotor equipment is caused by the heat conduction of the motor, and in addition, the flywheel body has no heat dissipation function. Therefore, it is necessary to change the original rigid connection structure between the motor and the flywheel, from a rigid coupling to a magnetic coupling. Summary of the Utility Model
[0004] In view of the deficiencies in the above problems, the utility model provides a heat transfer structure for reducing the heat transfer between a storage flywheel motor and a rotor. Based on the principle of double- and triple-layer insulating glass windows and utilizing the characteristic of the small heat dissipation coefficient of air, the original rigid coupling connection between the motor rotor and the flywheel rotor is changed to a magnetic coupling connection with an air gap for torque transmission.
[0005] To solve the above problems, the utility model provides a heat transfer structure for reducing the heat transfer between a storage flywheel motor and a rotor, including a motor shaft and a flywheel rotor. The motor shaft is connected to the flywheel rotor. Among them, it further includes a synchronous inner rotor and a synchronous outer rotor. The synchronous inner rotor is located inside the synchronous outer rotor. A motor shaft bearing is provided at the lower end of the motor shaft, and the motor shaft is connected to the synchronous outer rotor. A flywheel rotor bearing is provided at the upper end of the flywheel rotor, and the flywheel rotor bearing is connected to the synchronous inner rotor. Both the synchronous inner rotor and the synchronous outer rotor adopt permanent magnets, and the synchronous inner rotor and the synchronous outer rotor perform torque transmission through magnetic coupling.
[0006] Preferably, it further includes an air gap, and the air gap is provided between the synchronous outer rotor and the synchronous inner rotor.
[0007] Preferably, it further includes a flywheel rotor expansion sleeve, and the flywheel rotor bearing is connected to the synchronous inner rotor through the flywheel rotor expansion sleeve.
[0008] Preferably, it further includes a motor rotor tensioning sleeve, and the motor shaft is connected to the synchronous outer rotor through the motor rotor tensioning sleeve.
[0009] Compared with the prior art, the present utility model has the following advantages:
[0010] Based on the principle of double- and triple-layer insulated glass windows, and utilizing the characteristic of small air heat dissipation coefficient, the present utility model changes the connection of the original motor rotor and flywheel rotor by a rigid coupling to a connection by a magnetic coupling with an air gap for torque transmission.

[0015] In order to make the purpose, technical solutions and advantages of the present utility model clearer, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and examples, but the examples given are not intended to limit the present utility model.
[0016] As Figures 1 to 4 shown, the embodiment of the present utility model includes a motor shaft, a flywheel rotor, a synchronous inner rotor, a synchronous outer rotor, a motor shaft bearing, a flywheel rotor bearing, a flywheel rotor tensioning sleeve and a motor rotor tensioning sleeve, wherein,
[0017] Flywheel rotor bearing: Bears the radial force of the flywheel rotor and keeps the flywheel rotor running axially.
[0018] Flywheel rotor tensioning sleeve: Connects the flywheel rotor shaft and the synchronous inner rotor.
[0019] Synchronous inner rotor: Serves as the driving (driven) torque source of the flywheel rotor and belongs to one end of the magnetic coupler.
[0020] Motor shaft bearing: Bears the radial force of the motor shaft and keeps the motor shaft running axially.
[0021] Motor rotor tensioning sleeve: Connects the motor shaft and the synchronous outer rotor.
[0022] Synchronous outer rotor: Serves as the driving (driven) torque source of the motor rotor and belongs to the other end of the magnetic coupler.
[0023] In this embodiment, the working principle is as follows: The inner and outer rotors adopt permanent magnets, and torque is transmitted through magnetic coupling. The torque between the motor and the flywheel is 10,611 N·m, and a magnetic coupler with an appropriate torque is selected. The synchronous rotor is rigidly connected to the flywheel rotor and the motor shaft through a shrink disc, thereby providing torque transmission.
[0024] In this embodiment, through structural improvement, software is used for simulation tests. Under the working conditions of the original structure, the motor shaft outputs 120 °C (the demagnetization temperature limit), and the temperature of the flywheel rotor rises to 51 °C. As Figure 3 shown.
[0025] In this embodiment, under the working conditions of the new structure, the motor shaft outputs 120 °C (the demagnetization temperature limit), and the temperature of the flywheel rotor does not rise and remains at the room temperature of 22 °C. The air gap isolates heat conduction, so this structure can effectively prevent the problem of overheating of the flywheel rotor caused by the motor heating up. As Figure 4 shown.
[0026] In this embodiment, the magnetic coupler has a conductor rotor and a permanent magnet rotor as connectors for the motor and the driven end. There is an air gap between the driving end and the driven end. The air heat dissipation coefficient is 0.023 W / (m·K), and the heat dissipation coefficient of low alloy steel is 65 W / (m·K), and the former is reduced by more than 2,000 times.
