[0016] Secondly, embodiments of this disclosure provide a dual-sensor detection structure for a rotor, comprising:

[0039] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this utility model clearer, the technical solutions of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this utility model, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of this utility model.

[0040] Research has shown that when the rotor inside the motor is at its dead point, the motor cannot start normally after power is applied.

[0041] The shortcomings of the above solutions are the result of the inventor's practical experience and careful research. Therefore, the discovery process of the above problems and the solutions proposed in this disclosure below should be considered as the inventor's contribution to this disclosure.

[0042] The following detailed description of some embodiments of the present invention is provided in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features described below can be combined with each other. Furthermore, in the accompanying drawings, the thickness of components may be exaggerated or reduced for the purpose of effectively describing the technical content.

[0043] It should be noted that similar labels and letters in the following figures indicate similar items. Therefore, once an item is defined in one figure, it does not need to be further defined and explained in subsequent figures.

[0044] Based on the above research, and referring to Figure 1 This disclosure provides a dual-sensor detection structure for a rotor, including a first rotor 1 and a second rotor 4, and two monitoring components 2 respectively installed on opposite sides of the first rotor 1 and the second rotor 4. The ends of the first rotor 1 and the second rotor 4 are coaxially fitted together. The first rotor 1 is uniformly provided with a plurality of first salient poles 11 in the circumferential direction, and the second rotor 4 is uniformly provided with a plurality of second salient poles 41 in the circumferential direction. The first salient poles 11 and the second salient poles 41 are adapted to be respectively mounted with windings.

[0045] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 In some embodiments, in order to avoid the situation in the existing single rotor structure where the rotor may rotate to the starting torque dead point when it stops, the first salient pole 11 and the second salient pole 41 are staggered to make the winding distribution on the first salient pole 11 and the second salient pole 41 more uniform, thereby greatly reducing the range of torque dead points and reducing the probability of the rotor falling at the dead point when it stops.

[0046] The monitoring component 2 is circumferentially provided with several monitoring stations 3. The monitoring stations 3 of the two monitoring components 2 correspond to the positions of the first salient pole 11 and the second salient pole 41, respectively, so that the two monitoring components 2 can monitor the position information of the windings on the first salient pole 11 and the second salient pole 41, thus preventing the first rotor 1 and the second rotor 4 from falling exactly at the dead point when they stop. Optionally, the center of the first rotor 1 and the second rotor 4 is inserted through a rotating shaft, and both monitoring components 2 are also mounted on the rotating shaft. At the same time, the two monitoring components 2 can rotate with the rotating shaft, so that the monitoring components 2 can rotate synchronously with the first rotor 1 and the second rotor 4, thereby achieving the effect of real-time monitoring of the position of the first salient pole 11 and the second salient pole 41.

[0047] Reference Figure 2In at least one embodiment, the monitoring component 2 includes a light shield 21 and an optical sensor 22. The two light shields 21 are disposed on opposite sides of the first rotor 1 and the second rotor 4, while the optical sensor 22 is installed on the side of the corresponding light shield 21 away from the first rotor 1 or the second rotor 4. The monitoring stations 3 are evenly distributed along the circumference of the light shields 21.

[0048] Reference Figure 3 In at least one embodiment, the light shield 21 is circumferentially spaced with a plurality of light-shielding blocks 23, and the gap between two adjacent light-shielding blocks 23 forms a monitoring station 3. Furthermore, the gap between two light-shielding blocks 23 is the same as the width of the light-shielding block 23. That is, after the two rotors 1 are misaligned, the monitoring stations 3 of the two light shields 21 form a continuous circumferential line, thus forming a complete circle, to achieve comprehensive monitoring of the positions of the first salient pole 11 and the second salient pole 41. Simultaneously, by misaligning and splicing the first rotor 1 and the second rotor 4, the dead point position can be minimized as much as possible.

[0049] Reference Figure 4 In some embodiments, a flexible block 24 is also installed on the end of the light-shielding block 23 away from the light-shielding cover 21, and the flexible block 24 extends radially inward along the light-shielding cover 21. Since the motor generates continuous vibration during operation, a rigid connection between the sensor 22 and the light-shielding cover 21 may loosen over time. Therefore, by providing a flexible block 24 on the light-shielding block 23, during installation, the flexible block 24 is bent upwards and deformed, and the sensor 22 is inserted into the flexible block 24. Then, the flexible block 24 rebounds under elastic force and holds the sensor 22 tightly. This flexible connection method adapts to the environment of continuous vibration and maintains the positioning of the sensor 22.

[0050] Furthermore, this disclosure also provides a switched reluctance motor for electric locomotives, including the rotor dual-sensor detection structure as shown above. The switched reluctance motor also includes a control module to receive position information of the first salient pole 11 and the second salient pole 41 monitored by the optical sensor 22, and to control the first rotor 1 and the second rotor 4 to continue rotating at a certain angle when they reach their dead points, thereby avoiding the dead points. Optionally, the control module is an STM32 processor.

[0051] This disclosure also provides an electric locomotive that uses a switched reluctance motor as described above.

[0052] In the several embodiments provided in this application, it should be understood that the disclosed systems, apparatuses, and methods can be implemented in other ways. The apparatus embodiments described above are merely illustrative. For example, the division of units is only a logical functional division, and in actual implementation, there may be other division methods. Furthermore, multiple units or components may be combined or integrated into another system, or some features may be ignored or not executed. Based on the above-described ideal embodiments of this utility model, and through the above description, those skilled in the art can make various changes and modifications without departing from the technical concept of this utility model. The technical scope of this utility model is not limited to the contents of the specification; its technical scope must be determined by the scope of the claims.
