Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of rotors, in particular to a cast aluminum rotor embedded with copper bars. Background Art

[0002] Currently, a large portion of the power loss in large motors is caused by rotor losses. To reduce rotor losses, motor rotors are made of metals with low resistivity. Existing motor rotors are mostly made of cast copper and cast aluminum. Cast aluminum rotors are widely used due to their lower material and production costs. However, since aluminum has a higher resistivity than copper, it results in higher power loss and lower motor efficiency compared to cast copper rotors. While cast copper rotors have lower power loss than cast aluminum rotors, copper is a precious metal with a higher melting point, which requires more sophisticated molds for its production, increasing rotor manufacturing costs. Therefore, cast aluminum rotors with copper bars are now available.

[0003] However, the existing copper bars are generally welded to the cast aluminum rotor. When the rotor is damaged and needs to be repaired, the copper bars are inconvenient to disassemble and assemble. Therefore, we propose a cast aluminum rotor with embedded copper bars. Utility Model Content

[0004] The main purpose of the utility model is to provide a cast aluminum rotor embedded with copper bars, which can effectively solve the problems in the background technology.

[0005] In order to achieve the above purpose, the technical solution adopted by the utility model is:

[0006] A cast aluminum rotor embedded with copper bars comprises a rotating shaft, an aluminum block fixedly connected to the outer surface of the rotating shaft, a mounting hole formed on the upper surface of the aluminum block, a copper bar inserted into the interior of the mounting hole, the bottom end of the copper bar inserted into the interior of a lower positioning seat, the lower positioning seat fixedly mounted on the upper surface of a lower positioning plate, the lower positioning plate sleeved on the outer surface of the rotating shaft, and the lower positioning plate and the rotating shaft connected via a positioning handle.

[0007] In order to facilitate the fixation of the top end of the copper bar, the utility model provides a cast aluminum rotor embedded with a copper bar. The top end of the copper bar is inserted into the interior of the upper positioning seat. The upper positioning seat is fixedly mounted on the lower surface of the upper positioning plate. The upper positioning plate is fixedly mounted on the outer surface of the rotating shaft.

[0008] In order to make the wedge block movable, the utility model is a cast aluminum rotor embedded with copper bars, and a receiving groove is provided on the outer surface of the rotating shaft. The inner bottom wall of the receiving groove is fixedly connected to a support spring, and the end of the support spring away from the rotating shaft is fixedly connected to the wedge block.

[0009] In order to prevent the positioning handle from being easily separated from the rotating shaft, the utility model provides a cast aluminum rotor embedded with a copper bar, and the outer surface of the positioning handle is provided with an external thread, and the outer surface of the positioning handle is threadedly connected to a locking nut.

[0010] In order to facilitate the installation of the copper bars, in the cast aluminum rotor embedded with the copper bars of the present invention, the shape of the installation hole is rectangular, and the number of the copper bars is multiple.

[0011] In order to shield the lower positioning plate, as a cast aluminum rotor embedded with copper bars in the utility model, the number of the supporting springs and the number of the wedge blocks are both two.

[0012] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0013] The cast aluminum rotor embedded with the copper bar is provided with a rotating shaft, an aluminum block, a mounting hole, a copper bar, a lower positioning seat, a positioning handle, an upper positioning seat, an upper positioning plate and a wedge block. The copper bar is inserted into the aluminum block and is clamped and fixed by the upper positioning seat and the lower positioning seat.
