Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of motors, in particular to an axial motor and a rotor thereof. Background Art
[0002] A motor is an electromagnetic device that converts or transmits electrical energy based on the law of electromagnetic induction. Its primary function is to generate driving torque, serving as a power source for electrical appliances and various machines. A motor consists of a stator and a rotor. The stator is the electrically powered, stationary part, primarily composed of a stator core and stator windings. The stator's function is to generate a rotating magnetic field, which causes the rotor to be cut by magnetic lines of force within the magnetic field, generating current. Motors can be categorized as radial-field motors or axial-field motors. Axial-field motors are also called axial motors.
[0003] For axial motors with single stator and single rotor or single stator and dual rotor structures, the motor rotor has a back iron, and the magnet can be fixed to the back iron by means of a pressure plate or the like. However, for motors with dual stators and single rotor structures, the rotor usually does not have a back iron, and some motors with dual stators and single rotors have a back iron. The back iron setting will generate eddy current loss and reduce the efficiency of the motor. The rotor structure of the dual stator and single rotor axial motor in the prior art is as follows: Figure 1 As shown, the magnet 02 is inserted into the retainer 01, and the outer diameter of the retainer 01 is restricted by the carbon fiber ring 03, wherein the magnet 02, the retainer 01 and the carbon fiber ring 03 are all coated with insulating glue.
[0004] In existing technology, carbon fiber rings 03 are difficult to assemble and can easily break during assembly. Higher motor speeds increase motor power. With current rotor structures, larger motor diameters and higher speeds increase the risk of carbon fiber rings 03 breaking, impacting safe and reliable motor operation while limiting power density.

[0049] The utility model discloses an axial motor rotor, which can withstand greater centrifugal force, is easy to assemble, and improves the power density of the motor.
[0050] The utility model also discloses an axial motor.
[0051] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the embodiments described are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0052] Reference Figures 2 to 11 The axial motor rotor of the present invention includes a retaining frame 1, magnetic blocks 3, magnets 2, and a fixed ring block 4. A plurality of magnetic blocks 3 are provided, and the plurality of magnetic blocks 3 are circumferentially arranged around the retaining frame 1. A plurality of magnets 2 are provided, and the plurality of magnets 2 are circumferentially arranged around the retaining frame 1. The magnets 2 and the magnetic blocks 3 are spaced apart from each other, with a magnetic block 3 provided between every two magnets 2. The fixed ring block 4 is pressed onto the outer edges of the magnetic blocks 3 and magnets 2 and is connected to the retaining frame 1 via a connector 5.
[0053] There are several fixed ring blocks 4, each of which limits the position of at least one magnet 2 and one magnetic conductive block 3. A gap is provided between adjacent fixed ring blocks 4. The outer edge of the magnetic conductive block 3 and the magnet 2 refers to the side of each that is away from the center of the retaining frame 1. The magnetic conductive block 3 is made of a material with good magnetic conductivity. The fixed ring blocks 4 are made of metal.
[0054] In the axial motor rotor of the present invention, the magnets 2 and the magnetic blocks 3 are alternately arranged to form a salient pole structure, which can enhance the weak magnetic performance of the motor and reduce the temperature rise of the rotor under high-speed conditions. The fixed ring block 4 is made of metal material to ensure that the rotor can withstand a large centrifugal force when rotating at high speed, is not easily damaged, and has a longer service life. At the same time, it is required that a gap be provided between adjacent fixed ring blocks 4 to avoid the problem of large eddy currents generated in the fixed ring blocks 4 during the operation of the motor, resulting in excessive eddy current losses. The fixed ring block 4 is made of metal and is connected by a connector 5, so that the rotor disk can withstand greater centrifugal force. The same outer diameter motor can make the peak speed of the motor higher. The increase in peak speed will increase the power density of the motor. Since the fixed ring block 4 is connected with a connector 5, the rotor is easy to assemble, the assembly difficulty is reduced, and it is not easy to be damaged during the assembly process.
[0055] In one embodiment, referring to Figures 2 to 6The retaining frame 1 includes a main plate body 101 and a retaining arm 102 connected together. Figure 3 As shown, a plurality of retaining arms 102 are provided, and the plurality of retaining arms 102 are evenly distributed around the circumference of the main disk body 101 , and gaps are formed between adjacent retaining arms 102 , and the magnetic block 3 and the magnetic steel 2 are provided in the gap between two adjacent retaining arms 102 .
[0056] In order to limit the magnetic block 3 axially, a first limiting structure 301 is provided on the side of the magnetic block 3 close to the retaining arm 102 connected thereto, and a second limiting structure 103 is provided on the side of the retaining arm 102 close to the magnetic block 3. The first limiting structure 301 and the second limiting structure 103 are arranged in coordination. Specifically, the first limiting structure 301 is a first slide groove, and the second limiting structure 103 is a first slider, which is slidably connected in the first slide groove. The first slider extends along the length direction of the retaining arm 102, and the first slider is connected in the first slide groove to limit the circumferential direction of the magnetic block 3. The fixed ring block 4 is used to limit the radial direction of the magnetic block 3.
[0057] In order to limit the axial position of the magnet 2, a third limiting structure 201 is provided on the side of the magnet 2 near the retaining arm 102 connected thereto, and a fourth limiting structure 105 is provided on the side of the retaining arm 102 near the magnet 2. The third limiting structure 201 and the fourth limiting structure 105 are arranged in coordination. Specifically, the third limiting structure 201 is a second slide groove, and the fourth limiting structure 105 is a second slider, and the second slider is slidably connected in the second slide groove. The second slider extends along the length direction of the retaining arm 102, and the second slider is connected in the second slide groove to achieve circumferential positioning of the magnet 2. The fixed ring block 4 is used to limit the radial position of the magnet 2, thereby achieving reliable positioning of the magnet 2. In other embodiments, the third limiting structure 201 can also be a slider structure, and correspondingly, the fourth limiting structure 105 can also be a slide groove structure, which is not limited here.
[0058] In order to facilitate the positioning of the fixed ring block 4, the end of the retaining arm 102 away from the main plate body 101 is provided with a first connecting threaded hole 104, such as Figure 3 As shown, in order to improve the connection strength, the first connecting threaded hole 104 is set at the center position of the end face of the retaining arm 102. In order to facilitate the connection, a first connecting through hole is set on the fixing ring block 4, and the fixing ring block 4 is connected to the first connecting threaded hole 104 through a connecting member 5 passing through the first connecting through hole. Among them, one end of the fixing ring block 4 is crimped on the magnetic conductive block 3, and the other end is crimped on the adjacent magnetic steel 2. In order to prevent the head end of the connecting member 5 from protruding, a groove structure with a corresponding structure is set at the position corresponding to the head end of the first connecting through hole and the connecting member 5. Furthermore, the connecting member 5 is a connecting screw.
[0059] The width of the end of the holding arm 102 close to the main disk body 101 is greater than the width of the end away from the main disk body 101 , thereby improving the structural strength of the holding arm 102 .
[0060] In one embodiment, eight magnetic conductive blocks 3 and eight magnetic steels 2 are provided, and the eight magnetic conductive blocks 3 are spaced apart from the eight magnetic steels 2. Sixteen fixed ring blocks 4 are provided. Accordingly, sixteen retaining arms 102 are provided, and each retaining arm 102 is connected to a fixed ring block 4. The fixed ring block 4 is made of metal.
[0061] In the above embodiment, the magnets 2 and magnetic blocks 3 are alternately arranged in the rotor disk, forming a salient-pole rotor structure. The ratio of the magnets 2 to the magnetic blocks 3 can be optimized to achieve optimal motor performance. The magnets 2 and magnetic blocks 3 are separated circumferentially by the retaining arms 102 of the retainer 1. Axially, the magnets 2 and magnetic blocks 3 are positioned by a matching slide-slide mechanism. In the radial direction, they are secured by a retaining ring 4 and a connector 5.
[0062] In another embodiment, referring to Figures 7 to 11 The retainer 1 includes a main plate body 101, and a second connecting threaded hole 106 is provided on the outer edge side of the main plate body 101. The second connecting threaded hole 106 is provided along the radial direction of the main plate body 101. Figure 8 As shown. In order to facilitate connection, the magnetic block 3 is provided with a second connecting through hole 302 in the radial direction, and the second connecting through hole 302 passes through the magnetic block 3. It can be understood that the second connecting through hole 302 is provided corresponding to the second connecting threaded hole 106. A third connecting through hole is provided on the fixed ring block 4, and the connecting member 5 is connected to the second connecting threaded hole 106 after passing through the third connecting through hole and the second connecting through hole 302. One end of the fixed ring block 4 is crimped onto the adjacent magnetic steel 2 on one side of the magnetic block 3, and the other end is crimped onto the adjacent magnetic steel 2 on the other side of the magnetic block 3. In this embodiment, the other structures of the magnetic block 3 and the magnetic steel 2 refer to the previous embodiment and will not be repeated here.
[0063] Since the main disk body 101 in this embodiment does not have a circumferential retaining arm 102, to provide circumferential and axial positioning of the magnetic blocks 3 and magnets 2, the gaps between adjacent magnetic blocks 3 and magnets 2 are filled with connecting rubber. In this embodiment, radial positioning is achieved via a retaining ring 4 and a connecting member 5. The connecting member 5 is threaded from the retaining ring 4 into a second threaded connection hole 106 pre-set in the retaining frame 1. The gaps between the retaining frame 1, magnets 2, and magnetic blocks 3 can be filled with rubber to secure the magnets 2 and magnetic blocks 3 circumferentially and axially. Specifically, the connecting member 5 can be a connecting screw. Each magnetic block 3 is provided with at least one connecting screw. In one specific embodiment, eight magnetic blocks 3 and eight magnets 2 are provided, with eight magnetic blocks 3 spaced apart from eight magnets 2. Eight retaining rings 4 are provided. The magnetic blocks 3 are fixedly connected to the retaining frame 1 via screws connected to the retaining ring 4. The number of connecting screws is determined based on actual needs. Each magnetic conductive block 3 is connected to a fixed ring block 4 , and both sides of each magnetic steel 2 are respectively pressed and limited by the ends of the two fixed ring blocks 4 .
[0064] In the axial motor rotor of the present invention, the magnets 2 and the magnetic blocks 3 are arranged alternately. The material of the retaining frame 1 is preferably metal, which is convenient for tapping and the structural strength of the threaded hole is higher. The magnetic blocks 3 are made of materials with good magnetic conductivity, and there are more materials to choose from. The fixing ring block 4 is preferably made of metal material, which is convenient for improving the strength of the fixed structure and improving the structural reliability. The contact parts of the retaining frame 1, the magnets 2, the magnetic blocks 3, and the fixing ring block 4 are coated with glue, which can not only enhance the structural strength but also provide insulation. The axial motor rotor of the present invention has a simple rotor structure and is easy to assemble; the fixing ring block 4 cooperates with the screws to enable the rotor disk to withstand greater centrifugal force, and the motor with the same outer diameter can make the motor peak speed higher, thereby increasing the motor power density; the magnets 2 and the magnetic blocks 3 are alternately arranged to form a salient pole structure, which can enhance the weak magnetic performance of the motor and reduce the rotor temperature rise under high-speed conditions.
