Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of motor technology, and in particular to a magnetic levitation bearing motor structure. Background Technology
[0002] Magnetic levitation bearings typically utilize magnetic force to achieve contactless levitation of the motor rotor. This technology eliminates the mechanical contact found in traditional mechanical bearings, significantly reducing friction and wear while improving system reliability and stability. Its main working principle is based on precisely controlling the strength and distribution of the magnetic field to create a stable magnetic field around the rotor, allowing it to levitate and rotate freely. The magnetic levitation bearing thrust disk is one of the key components in the system. It provides the supporting force to ensure the rotor's axial movement through the electromagnetic force generated by the axial thrust coil, thus maintaining the rotor's stable levitation.
[0003] However, the thrust disk structure increases the wind friction loss (wind friction power consumption) during motor operation and also complicates the motor structure. How to design a magnetic levitation bearing motor structure without a thrust disk is a research direction. Utility Model Content
[0004] This invention proposes a magnetic levitation bearing motor structure that enables the design of a magnetic levitation bearing motor without a thrust disk.
[0005] The present invention adopts the following technical solution.
[0006] A magnetic levitation bearing motor structure includes a motor stator (2) disposed in a housing (1) and a rotor (3) with a thrust shoulder (32) disposed in the central axis region of the electronic stator. The bearing structure of the rotor includes a radial magnetic levitation bearing (5) and an axial magnetic levitation bearing (6) arranged from the inside to the outside.
[0007] The rotor is an integral shaft structure assembled with a rotating shaft and a permanent magnet. The thrust shoulders are located at both ends of the integral shaft structure. In the magnetic circuit of the axial magnetic levitation bearing, the axial magnetic levitation bearing forms an axial magnetic field that can couple with the thrust shoulders of the rotor through its magnetic ring (62), and applies axial magnetic force to the thrust shoulders so that the rotor remains stable in the axial direction during operation.
[0008] No thrust plate structure is provided at the motor structure.
[0009] Both the radial magnetic bearing and the axial magnetic bearing are located at the bearing housing (4).
[0010] The bearing structure also includes an auxiliary bearing (7) located at its outer end.
[0011] The auxiliary bearing end cap (8) of the auxiliary bearing is fixed with end cap fixing bolts (9).
[0012] The magnetic guide ring is located on the inner wall of the axial magnetic levitation bearing base (61) of the axial magnetic levitation bearing, and the magnetic guide ring protrudes from the inner wall of the base.
[0013] The shoulder diameter of the thrust shoulder of the rotor is greater than that of the rotor shaft section (33).
[0014] The vertical surface of the thrust shoulder of the rotor is directly opposite and adjacent to the vertical surface of the magnetic ring of the axial magnetic levitation bearing.
[0015] The operating method of the magnetic levitation bearing motor structure is used in the magnetic levitation bearing motor structure described above. When the motor is running, the magnetic force of the axial magnetic levitation bearing sequentially passes through the axial magnetic levitation bearing base (61), the magnetic guide ring (62), the rotor base (21), the thrust shoulder (32), and the rotor air gap (10) to form a magnetic flux loop. The axial magnetic levitation bearing base acts the axial magnetic force of the axial magnetic levitation bearing on the thrust shoulder of the rotor through the magnetic guide ring of the axial magnetic levitation bearing, so that the rotor remains stable in the axial direction when running.
[0016] An assembly method for a magnetic levitation bearing motor structure, used in the magnetic levitation bearing motor structure described above, includes the following steps;
[0017] Step S1: The housing and the stator of the motor are thermally assembled to form the motor stator housing assembly, and then the rotor and the motor stator housing assembly are assembled to form the main structure of the motor.
[0018] Step S2: The bearing housing assemblies at both ends of the housing consist of bearing housings, radial magnetic levitation bearings, axial magnetic levitation bearings, and auxiliary bearings. First, the radial magnetic levitation bearings and axial magnetic levitation bearings are fixed in the bearing housings by thermal assembly, and then the bearing housing assemblies at both ends are installed into the housing respectively.
[0019] Step S3: Place the auxiliary bearings at both ends of the housing onto the rotor of the motor, so that the rotor can rotate smoothly on the auxiliary bearings;
[0020] Step S4: Fix the auxiliary bearing end cover to the axial magnetic levitation bearing 6 with the end cover fixing bolts. The auxiliary bearing end cover is used to fix the position of the auxiliary bearing to prevent it from changing position due to vibration during operation.
[0021] The present invention proposes a magnetic levitation bearing motor structure. Its thrust-disk-less magnetic levitation bearing design can overcome the limitations of traditional magnetic levitation bearings. It adopts the rotor thrust shoulder output method, which reduces the wind friction of the large thrust disk diameter, improves the safety margin of rotor dynamics, improves the dynamic control performance of high-speed rotation, and enables the radial magnetic bearing and axial magnetic bearing to be easily integrated into one unit, further reducing the overall volume and improving the space utilization of the equipment.
[0022] While maintaining the advantages of the original magnetic levitation bearing design, this utility model simplifies the structure of the magnetic levitation bearing motor by designing the magnetic levitation bearing and motor rotor structure, further improving the stability and applicability of the entire rotating system and opening up more possibilities for its application in high-speed rotating machinery and special environments.
[0023] This invention, through rotor structural design, enables the magnetic circuit of the axial magnetic levitation bearing to generate axial force on the rotor shaft shoulder via the axial magnetic levitation bearing guide ring, thereby eliminating the thrust disc and simplifying the magnetic levitation bearing structure. Furthermore, based on this structural design, the radial magnetic levitation bearing, axial magnetic levitation bearing, and bearing housing are formed into a composite assembly, enabling the installation and production of this magnetic levitation bearing motor structure to be integrated and highly efficient.
[0024] In this invention, the rotor is an integrated shaft structure assembled from a rotating shaft and a permanent magnet, with thrust shoulders designed at both ends; the axial magnetic levitation bearing couples the axial magnetic field to the rotor shoulder through a magnetic guide ring, and applies electromagnetic force to the thrust shoulder, thus replacing the thrust disc structure; correspondingly, the motor stator is assembled in the housing in the form of a heat-fitted sleeve, forming a basic motor structure with the rotor; the radial magnetic levitation bearing and the axial magnetic levitation bearing are fixedly installed in the bearing housing to form a composite component, and the two identical bearing housings are heat-fitted in the housing in the same way, which greatly simplifies the installation of the magnetic levitation bearing.
[0025] The main advantages of this utility model are reflected in the following points;
[0026] 1. Reduced losses: The thrustless structure reduces the windage loss of the thrust disk and improves system efficiency.
[0027] 2. Improve rotor dynamic margin: Removing the thrust disk greatly reduces the rotor outer diameter, increases the critical speed of the overall rotor structure, and makes the rotor dynamic performance more stable.
[0028] 3. Improved dynamic performance of magnetic bearings at high speeds; the absence of a thrust disk simplifies the overall rotor structure and reduces unnecessary external disturbances, thereby improving system response speed and stability. This is particularly important for applications requiring rapid start-stop or acceleration.
[0029] 4. Further improve integration, simplify the structure of the magnetic bearing motor, reduce costs, and improve production efficiency. Attached Figure Description
