Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of electric motors, in particular to a rotor assembly and an electric motor. Background Art
[0002] During the operation of the electric motor, a large amount of heat is generated, which causes the temperature of the rotor to rise, so the rotor needs to be cooled. In the existing technology, spraying is generally used for cooling. The problem is that only the outer side of the rotor is cooled significantly, and the cooling effect on the part between the center and the punching is poor. By setting a cooling channel on the rotor and passing a low-temperature cooling medium through it, the central part of the rotor can be cooled. However, since the rotor is in a high-speed rotation state during operation, the low-temperature cooling medium in the cooling channel will also generate centripetal force in the medium channel due to the rotation of the rotor, resulting in poor cooling effect of the cooling medium. Increasing the flow rate of the cooling medium will have an adverse effect on the rotor's own working performance. Utility Model Content

[0032] The present invention provides a rotor assembly, such as Figure 1-Figure 5 The rotor assembly includes a plurality of rotor punchings 1, which are stacked; each rotor punching 1 is provided with a plurality of fan ring holes 11, and the outer arc of each fan ring hole 11 is located in a large circle 14 that is concentric with the center hole 12 of the rotor punching 1. Along the axial direction of the rotor punching 1, the corresponding plurality of fan ring holes 1111 are connected to form a plurality of medium channels 13, and the cooling medium is passed into the medium channels 13.
[0033] The rotor assembly provided by the utility model is as follows Figure 2 , a fan ring hole 11 is provided on the rotor punching 1, so that the fan ring holes 11 correspondingly provided on the stacked rotor punchings 1 can be connected to form a medium channel 13, such as Figure 3 After the cooling medium is introduced into the medium channel 13, when the rotor rotates at high speed, the cooling medium can fully contact the outer arc of the fan ring hole 11 under the action of centripetal force. Compared with the circular hole-shaped medium channel 13 in the prior art, the fan-shaped medium channel 13 of the utility model increases the contact area between the cooling medium and the medium channel 13, increases the effective cooling and heat exchange area, and is beneficial to improving the cooling effect of the rotor assembly.
[0034] In the comparative test of the circular hole and the fan ring hole 11, the circular hole and the fan ring hole 11 are set to have the same inner wall surface area, and equal amounts of cooling medium are respectively introduced into the medium channel 13 formed by the circular hole and the medium channel 13 formed by the fan ring hole 11. In the rotating state, the maximum centripetal force of the cooling medium has a smaller arc surface area on the inner wall surface of the medium channel 13 formed by the circular hole, while the inner wall surface of the medium channel 13 formed by the fan ring hole 11 has a larger arc surface area covering the outer arc inner wall surface of the entire fan ring hole 11, that is, the heat exchange area of the cooling medium is large, and the average convection heat transfer coefficient of the medium channel 13 formed by the fan ring hole 11 is at least 1.7 times the average convection heat transfer coefficient of the medium channel 13 formed by the circular hole.
[0035] In some embodiments, the plurality of sector ring holes 11 are evenly spaced around the central hole 12 , and the outer arcs of the plurality of sector ring holes 11 are located on the same great circle 14 .
[0036] like Figure 2 The multiple fan ring holes 11 are evenly spaced, and the outer arcs of the multiple fan ring holes 11 are located on the same large circle 14, which can reduce the influence of the inertial force of the cooling medium on the rotation of the rotor and ensure the stable operation of the rotor. Since the cooling medium generates centripetal force when the rotor rotates, the distribution of the cooling medium in the medium channel 13 may change under the action of the centripetal force. Therefore, setting the same outer arc of the fan ring hole 11 is conducive to the cooling effect of the cooling medium on the rotor to be uniform and consistent, avoiding the influence of temperature differences caused by local cooling on the rotor performance.
[0037] In some embodiments, the inner arcs of the plurality of sector ring holes 11 are located on the same small circle 15 , and the large circle 14 and the small circle 15 are both concentrically arranged with the central hole 12 .
[0038] For example Figure 2 , multiple fan ring holes 11 are evenly distributed in the annular area between the large circle 14 and the small circle 15. The large circle 14, the small circle 15 and the center hole 12 are respectively located on three concentric circles, which is convenient for punching and forming, and is conducive to controlling multiple fan ring holes 11 to have the same structure and size, providing a uniform cooling effect.
[0039] In some embodiments, along the axial direction of the rotor punching 1 , a plurality of corresponding sector ring holes 11 on a plurality of rotor punchings 1 are staggered and connected along the circumferential direction.
[0040] like Figure 3 and Figure 4As shown, when stacked, multiple rotor punchings 1 are rotated in sequence around the axial direction at a fixed central angle to form a staggered rotor punching group. The size of the fixed central angle is related to the number of stacked rotor punchings 1 and the cooling effect. It can be understood that when the cooling medium flows in the medium channel 13, some structures of the staggered rotor punchings 1 will directly collide with the cooling medium, increasing the turbulence of the cooling medium and improving the cooling effect. The staggered rotor punchings 1 can increase the length of the medium channel 13, making the length of the medium channel 13 greater than the axial length of the stacked rotor punchings 1, thereby improving the cooling effect. Preferably, the cooling medium is a liquid, such as oil.
[0041] In some embodiments, the corresponding sector ring holes 11 on two adjacent rotor punchings 1 are staggered in a clockwise direction, and / or the corresponding sector ring holes 11 on two adjacent rotor punchings 1 are staggered in a counterclockwise direction.
[0042] like Figure 4 As shown, for example, two adjacent rotor punchings 1 are rotated in sequence at a fixed central angle so that the fan ring holes 11 are staggered. After staggering multiple rotor punchings 1 in sequence clockwise, they begin to stagger counterclockwise. Similarly, according to the number of rotor punchings 1, clockwise and counterclockwise staggering can be alternately arranged to form an S-shaped curve medium channel 13, thereby increasing the flow distance of the cooling medium in the medium channel 13 and improving the cooling effect. Figure 3 The rotor punchings 1 of the bottom layer are rotated clockwise by a certain angle relative to the rotor punchings 1 of the upper layer to form a staggered arrangement structure; Figure 4 The rotor punchings 1 of the bottom layer are rotated counterclockwise by a certain angle relative to the rotor punchings 1 of the upper layer to form a staggered arrangement structure.
[0043] In some embodiments, the rotor assembly further includes a rotating shaft 2 and an end cover 3, the center holes 12 of the plurality of rotor punchings 1 are all penetrated on the rotating shaft 2, the rotating shaft 2 is provided with an axial channel 21 and a plurality of radial channels 22 connected to the axial channel 21; the end cover 3 is provided at the end of the rotor punching 1 and fixes the rotor punching 1 on the rotating shaft 2, the end cover 3 is provided with a plurality of radial grooves 31, and the two ends of the plurality of radial grooves 31 are respectively connected to the plurality of radial channels 22 and the plurality of medium channels 13 in a one-to-one correspondence.
[0044] like Figure 1As shown, the center of the rotating shaft 2 is penetrated to form an axial channel 21. One end of the axial channel 21 serves as the cooling medium inlet. After entering the axial channel 21, the cooling medium flows outward through multiple radial channels 22 into multiple radial slots 31 on the end cover 3, and then enters the medium channel 13 through the radial slots 31. The cooling medium in the medium channel 13 can fill the entire cross-section of the medium channel 13 to achieve maximum flow, or it can contact part of the inner wall of the medium channel 13 to achieve a lower flow rate than the maximum flow. When the rotor rotates, the cooling medium, under the action of centripetal force, abuts against the inner wall of the medium channel 13 formed by the outer arc of the sector ring hole 11, performing heat exchange cooling, thus providing the primary cooling function. It can be understood that the end cover 3 serves to secure the rotor punching 1, particularly for axial positioning and fixation. At the same time, the cooling medium flows through the multiple radial slots 31 on the end cover 3, thus providing heat dissipation.
[0045] In some embodiments, two end covers 3 are provided, and the two end covers 3 are respectively provided at both ends of multiple rotor punchings 1. The two end covers 3 are respectively provided with multiple radial grooves 31, and the multiple radial grooves 31 on the two end covers 3 are staggered along the circumferential direction of the end covers 3; two groups of radial channels 22 are provided on the rotating shaft 2 along its axial direction, and the multiple radial grooves 31 on the two end covers 3 are respectively provided in a one-to-one correspondence with and connected to the multiple radial channels 22 of the two groups of radial channels 22.
[0046] In some embodiments, a magnetic steel slot 16 is provided on the rotor punching 1 , and a plurality of sector ring holes 11 are provided between the magnetic steel slot 16 and the center hole 12 along the radial direction of the rotor punching 1 .
[0047] In some embodiments, the plurality of sector ring holes 11 and the plurality of magnetic steel slots 16 are staggered along the circumferential direction of the rotor punching 1 .
[0048] like Figure 2 As shown, several fan ring holes 11 are set in the annular area between the magnetic steel slot 16 and the center hole 12. In the prior art, this area is generally set as a weight-reducing hole. On this basis, this embodiment can directly utilize the weight-reducing hole and set the weight-reducing hole in the form of a fan ring hole 11 to form a plurality of medium channels 13, and the cooling medium (oil) is passed through the plurality of medium channels 13 to achieve cooling of the middle position of the rotor punching 1. It should be noted that, with the fan ring hole 11 provided in this embodiment, since the cooling medium has a larger heat exchange contact area with the medium channel 13 at the inner wall of the outer arc, and the cooling medium does not have to be fully filled in the medium channel 13 (the flow rate of the cooling medium is less than the maximum flow rate), the fan ring hole 11 still has a weight-reducing effect.
[0049] The utility model also provides an electric motor, comprising the rotor assembly provided by the utility model.
[0050] The provision of the fan ring holes 11 on the rotor punchings 1 in the rotor assembly improves the cooling effect of the rotor assembly and simultaneously has the effect of reducing weight, thereby improving the performance of the motor.
[0051] Obviously, the above-described embodiments of the present invention are merely examples for the purpose of clearly illustrating the present invention and are not intended to limit the manner in which the present invention is to be implemented. A person skilled in the art would be able to make various obvious changes, readjustments, and substitutions without departing from the scope of protection of the present invention. It is not necessary and impossible to enumerate all embodiments here. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present invention shall be included within the scope of protection of the claims of the present invention.
