[0036] The application provides a permanent magnet motor, comprising a rotor assembly, comprising:

[0037] The rotor assembly comprises a rotor core 12 and a plurality of permanent magnets 11, the permanent magnets 11 are arranged in pairs on the outer surface of the rotor core 12 in sequence, and any permanent magnet 11 is provided with an upper surface S1 and a lower surface S2; wherein the upper surfaces S1 of the circumferentially adjacent permanent magnets 11 of the rotor core 12 are opposite in polarity, and the lower surfaces S2 of the circumferentially adjacent two permanent magnets of the rotor core 12 are opposite in polarity.

[0038] The upper surface S1 of the permanent magnet 11 is arranged away from the axis 121 of the rotor core 12 relative to the lower surface S2 of the permanent magnet 11; the upper surface S1 of the permanent magnet 11 is connected to the lower surface S2 of the permanent magnet 11 through the first end 111 and the second end 112 respectively; the first thickness D1 of the first end 111 in the radial direction of the rotor core 12 is less than the second thickness D2 of the second end 112 in the radial direction of the rotor core 12.

[0039] As shown in Figure 1 , the permanent magnet motor further comprises a stator assembly, the stator assembly comprises a stator core 21 and a plurality of coils 22, the coils 22 are arranged in pairs on the outer surface of the stator core 21 in sequence, and any coil 22 is provided with an upper surface S3 and a lower surface S4; wherein the upper surfaces S3 of the circumferentially adjacent coils 22 of the stator core 21 are opposite in polarity, and the lower surfaces S4 of the circumferentially adjacent two coils of the stator core 21 are opposite in polarity. Figure 1This diagram illustrates the combined state of permanent magnets 11a and 11b with the rotor core 12. Multiple permanent magnets are used, such as 11a, 11b, and other unlabeled permanent magnets. These permanent magnets 11 are sequentially arranged on the outer surface of the rotor core 12, at equal intervals along the outer circumference of the rotor core 12. The polarities of any two adjacent permanent magnets 11 are opposite. Specifically, taking permanent magnets 11a and 11b as examples, and assuming the upper surface S1 of permanent magnet 11a is the N pole, the upper surface S1 of permanent magnet 11b is set as the S pole, the lower surface S2 of permanent magnet 11a is the S pole, and the lower surface S2 of permanent magnet 11b is set as the N pole. Alternatively, the upper surface S1 of permanent magnet 11a can also be set as the S pole; no special restriction is imposed. Figure 1 Taking any permanent magnet 11 as an example, refer to Figure 2 The upper surface S1 and lower surface S2 of the permanent magnet 11 are set as arc surfaces. The upper surface S1 and lower surface S2 are connected by the first end 111 and the second end 112, respectively. The thickness of the first end 111 along the radial direction of the rotor core 12 is less than the thickness of the second end 112 along the radial direction of the rotor core 12, which causes the permanent magnet 11 to form an asymmetrical structure, thereby forming an uneven air gap d between the stator assembly 20 and the rotor assembly. This reduces the cogging torque, optimizes the motor magnetic circuit, and makes the motor run smoothly while reducing operating noise.

[0040] Specifically, the upper surface S1 and lower surface S2 of the permanent magnet 11 can have different shapes. The distance from any point on the rotor core axis 121 to the upper surface S1 is equal, and the distance from any point on the rotor core axis 121 to the lower surface S2 is also equal. That is, along the direction of the rotor core axis 121, the radial thickness of the upper surface S1 and lower surface S2 is the same at all points. In other words, the curvature of the upper surface S1 and lower surface S2 of the permanent magnet 11 is the same at all points along the direction of the rotor core axis 121, ensuring uniform thickness of the permanent magnet 11 and thus maintaining stable operation of the permanent magnet motor. Adjacent permanent magnets 11 attract each other, or adjacent permanent magnets may have opposite polarities.

[0041] In some embodiments, the radial thickness of the permanent magnet 11 provided in this application gradually increases from a first thickness D1 to a second thickness D2 in the direction from the first end 111 along the circumference of the rotor core 12 to the second end 112, or gradually increases from the first thickness D1 to a maximum thickness Dmax and then decreases to the second thickness D2.

[0042] Specifically, refer to Figure 2The permanent magnet 11 is composed of partial annular magnetic steel, and the radial thickness of the partial annular magnetic steel is uniform and equal. The upper surface S1 and the lower surface S2 of the permanent magnet 11 are arc surfaces, and the portion close to the first end 111 is polished to reduce the thickness, and the portion close to the second end 112 can be polished to reduce the thickness, so that the first end 111 extends to the second end 112 along the upper surface S1 and the lower surface S2 of the permanent magnet 11, and there is a position along the radial direction where the maximum thickness Dmax exists. Alternatively, the portion close to the second end 112 is not polished, so that the radial thickness gradually increases from the first end 111 to the second end 112.

[0043] In some embodiments, the first end 111 is provided with a first upper edge 111a and a first lower edge 111b, and the axis 121 of the rotor core 12 is arranged on the plane extending from the first upper edge 111a to the first lower edge 111b, so that the first upper edge 111a, the first lower edge 111b and the axis 121 of the rotor core 12 are coplanar; wherein the first upper edge 111a and the first lower edge 111b are parallel to each other, and the distance between the first upper edge 111a and the first lower edge 111b constitutes the first thickness D1.

[0044] Referring to Figure 2 and Figure 3 In some specific embodiments, the raw material of the permanent magnet 11 is magnetic steel, and the upper surface S1 and the lower surface S2 of the rotor core 12 are cut radially to form the first end 111, that is, in the cross section perpendicular to the axis 121 of the rotor core 12, the center P1 of the rotor core 12 is arranged in the direction of the line connecting the first upper edge 111a and the first lower edge 111b, so as to ensure that the plane where the first upper edge 111a and the first lower edge 111b are located passes through the axis 121 of the rotor core 12. Thus, the assembly difficulty of the permanent magnet 11 of the permanent magnet motor is reduced.

[0045] In some embodiments, the second end 112 is provided with a second upper edge 112a and a second lower edge 112b, and the axis 121 of the rotor core 12 is arranged on the plane extending from the second upper edge 112a to the second lower edge 112b, so that the second upper edge 112a, the second lower edge 112b and the axis 121 of the rotor core 12 are coplanar; wherein the second upper edge 112a and the second lower edge 112b are parallel to each other, and the distance between the second upper edge 112a and the second lower edge 112b constitutes the second thickness D2.

[0046] Referring to Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 5In some specific embodiments, the permanent magnet 11 is made of magnetic steel, and the rotor core 12 is cut radially from the upper surface S1 and the lower surface S2 to form the second end 112, that is, in the cross section perpendicular to the axis 121 of the rotor core 12, the center P1 of the rotor core 12 is arranged in the direction of the line connecting the second upper edge 112a and the second lower edge 112b, so as to ensure that the planes where the second upper edge 112a and the second lower edge 112b are located pass through the axis 121 of the rotor core 12, thereby reducing the assembly difficulty of the permanent magnet 11 of the permanent magnet motor.

[0047] In some specific embodiments, the outer surface of the rotor core 12 is provided with a plurality of grooves, which can be dovetail grooves, and the number of the grooves is the same as that of the permanent magnets 11, so that each groove can accommodate each permanent magnet 11. The two sides of each groove are attached to the first end 111 and the second end 112, that is, the two sides of each groove are coplanar with the axis 121 of the rotor core 12.

[0048] In some embodiments, the lower surface S2 of the permanent magnet motor provided by the application is a right circular cylindrical surface, and the axis of the lower surface S2 of the permanent magnet 11 is coaxially arranged with the axis 121 of the rotor core 12.

[0049] In some embodiments, the upper surface S1 of the permanent magnet 11 provided by the application is a right circular cylindrical surface, wherein the axis of the upper surface S1 of the permanent magnet 11 is arranged parallel to the axis 121 of the rotor core 12; wherein the axis of the upper surface S1 of the permanent magnet 11 is not coincident with the axis 121 of the rotor core 12. Specifically, referring to Figure 4 and Figure 5 , the upper surface S1 and the lower surface S2 of the permanent magnet 11 of the permanent magnet motor are both right circular cylindrical surfaces, but the axes of the upper surface S1 and the lower surface S2 are parallel and not coincident, so as to ensure that the upper surface S1 and the lower surface S2 are both right circular cylindrical surfaces, and the thicknesses of the first end 111 and the second end 112 are different. In some specific embodiments, the radius R2 of the upper surface S1 is smaller than the radius R1 of the lower surface S2. In some specific embodiments, the axis of the upper surface S1 is arranged parallel between the upper surface S1 and the axis 121 of the rotor core 12.

[0050] In some embodiments, the first thickness D1 of the permanent magnet motor provided by the application is greater than or equal to half of the second thickness D2.

[0051] In some embodiments, the first thickness D1 of the permanent magnet motor provided by the application is greater than or equal to 2 mm, and the first thickness D1 is less than 4.5 mm.

[0052] The first thickness D1

[0053] Specifically, referring to Figure 2 , the first thickness D1 of the permanent magnet 11 is set to be at least equal to half of the second thickness D2. Taking the first thickness D1 as 2.5 mm and the second thickness D2 as 5 mm as an example, the torque ripple of the permanent magnet 11 with uneven thickness provided by the application is 0.04737 MxVw, and the cogging torque ripple is 0.1056 Ce, 0.1088 Vw. The torque ripple of the permanent magnet 11 with the upper surface S1 and the lower surface S2 being part of a circular ring under the conventional setting is 0.54887 MsVw, and the cogging torque ripple is 0.50479 Ce, 0.49316 Vw. Or the permanent magnet 11 with two sides of the corner under the conventional setting, taking the two sides of the corner 1.2 mm as an example, the torque ripple is 0.28928 MsVw, and the cogging torque ripple is 0.27705 Ce, 0.29644 Vw; taking the two sides of the corner 3 mm as an example, the torque ripple is 0.1236 MsVw, and the cogging torque ripple is 0.12957 Ce, 0.12638 Vw. In summary, the permanent magnet 11 provided by the application can effectively suppress the torque ripple when applied to the permanent magnet motor.

[0069] In one complete embodiment, the rotor assembly of the permanent magnet motor provided by the present application comprises a rotor core 12 and a plurality of permanent magnets 11 attached to the rotor core 12. The permanent magnet 11 is provided with an upper surface S1 and a lower surface S2, and the lower surface S2 is attached to the outer surface of the rotor core 12, that is, the shape of the lower surface S2 of the permanent magnet 11 is the same as the outer surface of the rotor core 12. The upper surface S1 and the lower surface S2 of the permanent magnet 11 are not parallel, so that the distance between the upper surface S1 and the lower surface S2 along the radial direction of the rotor core 12, that is, the thickness of the permanent magnet 11 along the radial direction of the rotor core 12, is not uniform. The two sides connecting the upper surface S1 and the lower surface S2 are the first end 111 and the second end 112, respectively, and the thickness of the first end 111 is less than the second thickness D2. The upper surface S1 and the lower surface S2 can both be a right circular cylinder, which is convenient for processing the permanent magnet 11. In order to ensure that the upper surface S1 and the lower surface S2 of the permanent magnet 11 are not parallel and the thickness of the first end 111 and the second end 112 are different, the axis positions of the upper surface S1 and the lower surface S2 cannot coincide, and the axis of the upper surface S1 should be located between the axis of the lower surface S2 and the lower surface S2, so as to ensure that there is a maximum thickness Dmax between the first end 111 and the second end 112, which should be greater than the second thickness, so that the thickness of the permanent magnet 11 increases first and then decreases along the outer periphery of the rotor core 12 from the first end 111 to the second end 112. The first end 111 and the second end 112 are arranged to connect the upper surface S1 and the lower surface S2 along the radial direction of the rotor core 12. The upper surface S1 can be arranged as other curved surfaces that are not right circular cylinders, but it should be ensured that the thickness of the first end 111 is less than that of the second end 112, and there is a maximum thickness Dmax greater than the thickness of the second end 112. In particular, the thickness of the first end 111 is half of the thickness of the second end 112, and the thickness of the first end 111 can be 2mm or 2.5mm. The thickness of the second end 112 is correspondingly set to 4mm or 5mm. The arrangement of adjacent permanent magnets 11 on the rotor core 12 is that the first end 111 of one permanent magnet 11 is close to the second end 112 of another permanent magnet 11, and the direction from the second end 112 to the first end 111 along the lower surface S2 is equivalent to the rotation direction of the rotor core 12. In particular, the permanent magnets 11 are arranged in pairs, and the first ends 111 of the permanent magnets 11a and 11b in each pair are arranged close to each other, or the second ends 112 of the permanent magnets 11a and 11b in each pair are arranged close to each other. However, it should be ensured that the polarities of adjacent permanent magnets 11 are opposite.

[0070] It can be understood that the cross section of a conventional permanent magnet 11 along the radial direction of the rotor core 12 is a partial circular ring, and the cross-sectional area of the partial circular ring is related to the magnetic flux of the motor. The cross-sectional area of the permanent magnet 11 provided by the present application should be equal to the maximum cross-sectional area of the conventional permanent magnet 11, so as to ensure that the cogging torque is improved while the output power of the permanent magnet motor using the rotor assembly provided by the present application is also ensured.

[0071] The rotor core 12 is provided with grooves adapted to the permanent magnets 11, so that the permanent magnets 11 can be embedded in the grooves to be fixed on the outer surface of the rotor core 12. The grooves provided on the rotor core 12 are of the same pitch, ensuring the stability of the rotor assembly in the working state. The grooves can be dovetail grooves to simplify the assembly of the permanent magnets 11. The rotor assembly can be provided with two end cover plates to cover the rotor core 12 in the direction of the axis 121 of the rotor core 12, thereby providing support for the permanent magnets 11 fixed on the rotor core 12.

[0072] The permanent magnets 11 are assembled on the outer periphery of the rotor core 12 and can be fixed by glue, a ferrule, or the grooves and cover plates as shown in the present application. The rotor core 12 is of a hollow structure. The rotor assembly further comprises a rotating shaft which penetrates the rotor core 12 and is coaxially arranged with the rotor core 12. Bearings 31 and 32 are sleeved on the rotating shaft on both sides of the rotor core 12. The bearings 31 and 32 are simultaneously contained in the housing 40 of the permanent magnet motor, so that the rotor assembly can rotate relative to the housing 40 through the bearings 31 and 32. At the same time, the stator assembly 20 is also contained in the housing 40 of the permanent magnet motor. Specifically, the stator assembly 20 is sleeved on the outer periphery of the rotor assembly and is coaxially arranged with the rotor assembly while maintaining an air gap d, the ratio of the minimum value of the air gap d to the radius of the arc surface of the tooth 21b being 0.002 to 0.0053, the maximum thickness Dmax of the stator assembly 20 being 150 mm. In particular, the minimum width of the air gap d is 0.3 mm-0.8 mm, and the inner diameter of the stator assembly 20 is 150 mm. The stator assembly 20 is provided with a stator core 21 and a winding 22, and the winding 22 is wound around the stator core 21.
