[0033] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this utility model clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. The described embodiments are some, but not all, of the embodiments of this utility model.

[0034] Therefore, the following detailed description of the embodiments of the present invention provided in the accompanying drawings is not intended to limit the scope of the claimed invention, but merely to illustrate selected embodiments of the invention. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the present invention without inventive effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0035] Example 1

[0036] refer to Figures 1 to 7 The high-efficiency rotor provided in this embodiment includes a rotor core 1 and a plurality of slots 2 arranged circumferentially along the rotor core 1. The slots 2 are evenly spaced and angularly distributed, and are used to accommodate aluminum strips. In some embodiments, aluminum strips are formed by directly pouring molten aluminum into the slots 2.

[0037] The slot 2 includes an upper slot 21 and a lower slot 22 connected to the upper slot 21. The upper slot 21 is close to the outer circumferential surface of the rotor core 1, and the lower slot 22 is close to the inner circumferential surface of the rotor core 1. The shortest distance between the upper slot 21 and the outer circumferential surface of the rotor core 1 is L1, which is 0.1 to 0.5 mm in this embodiment. Setting L1 to 0.1 to 0.5 mm can significantly change the magnetic field distribution of the rotor core 1, thereby reducing the magnetic flux density of the yoke of the rotor core 1, thus reducing the motor input power and improving the motor efficiency. At the same time, it can also increase the maximum torque of the motor without affecting the motor torque, which is beneficial to improving the power performance of the motor.

[0038] like Figures 4 to 7 As shown, within the range of 0.1–0.5 mm for L1, as L1 gradually decreases, the magnetic flux density of the yoke of rotor core 1 and the motor input power both gradually decrease, while the motor efficiency and the maximum torque of the motor gradually increase. Therefore, the optimal value for L1 within the 0.1–0.5 mm range is 0.1 mm. This also proves that reducing L1 is more beneficial for improving motor efficiency and maximum torque, thus enhancing the motor's dynamic performance.

[0039] In some embodiments, the outer diameter of the rotor core 1 is R1, and the high-efficiency rotor has the relationship: 50≤R1 / L1≤251. By setting the ratio of R1 to L1, the operating efficiency and maximum torque of the motor can be optimized, while ensuring the mechanical strength of the rotor core 1, which is beneficial to extending the service life of the rotor.

[0040] The high-efficiency rotor of this embodiment can change the magnetic field distribution of the rotor core by adjusting the shortest distance between the upper part of the slot and the outer peripheral surface of the rotor core, thereby reducing the magnetic flux density of the yoke of the rotor core, which in turn reduces the input power of the motor and improves the operating efficiency of the motor. At the same time, it can also increase the maximum torque of the motor without affecting the motor torque, which is beneficial to improving the power performance of the motor. By adjusting the ratio of R1 to L1, the operating efficiency and maximum torque of the motor can be optimized, while ensuring the mechanical strength of the rotor core, which is beneficial to extending the service life of the rotor.

[0041] Example 2

[0042] As a further optimization of Example 1, refer to Figure 8 The upper part 21 of the slot includes a first arc 211, a first straight shoulder 212 and a second straight shoulder 213. The first straight shoulder 212 and the second straight shoulder 213 are respectively connected to the opposite ends of the first arc 211, and the first straight shoulder 212 and the second straight shoulder 213 are symmetrically arranged.

[0043] As a further optimization, both the first straight shoulder 212 and the second straight shoulder 213 are located on the tangent direction of the first arc 211. This ensures that the connection between the first straight shoulder 212, the first arc 211, and the second straight shoulder 213 will not produce sharp corners. On the one hand, this reduces the stamping difficulty of forming the slot 2, reduces the wear of the die punch, extends the service life of the die punch, and reduces production and maintenance costs. On the other hand, it avoids incomplete or insufficient casting of aluminum liquid due to the presence of sharp corners, thereby improving the product qualification rate.

[0044] The lower part 22 of the slot includes a second arc 221, a first straight edge 222, and a second straight edge 223. The first straight edge 222 and the second straight edge 223 are respectively connected to opposite ends of the second arc 221, and the first straight edge 222 and the second straight edge 223 are symmetrically arranged. The first straight edge 222 is connected to the first straight shoulder 212, and the second straight edge 223 is connected to the second straight shoulder 213. Adjacent slots 2 and adjacent first straight edges 222 and second straight edges 223 are parallel to each other.

[0045] In some embodiments, the first straight edge 222 and the second straight edge 223 can also be located in the tangent direction of the second arc 221, which can reduce the stamping difficulty of the slot 2, reduce the wear of the mold punch, extend the service life of the mold punch, and at the same time ensure the sufficiency of aluminum liquid casting.

[0046] In this embodiment, the included angle between the first straight shoulder 212 and the first straight side 222 is A1. The high-efficiency rotor has the relationship: 120°≤A1≤150°. Setting A1 as an obtuse angle can avoid insufficient aluminum casting due to an angle that is too small, which is beneficial to improving the production quality of the product and ensuring its normal performance. It should be noted that the included angle between the second straight shoulder 213 and the second straight side 223 is also the same as A1.

[0047] In this embodiment, the length of the first straight side 222 is L2, and the length of the first straight shoulder 212 is L3. The high-efficiency rotor has the relationship: 5 ≤ L2 / L3 ≤ 6.5. By setting the ratio of L2 to L3, it is possible to ensure that the yoke of the rotor core 1 has sufficient area, thereby reducing the magnetic flux density of the yoke of the rotor core 1, which is beneficial to improving the performance of the motor. It should be noted that the ratio of the second straight side 223 to the second straight shoulder 213 is also the same as the ratio of the first straight side 222 to the first straight shoulder 212.

[0048] In this embodiment, the outer diameter of the rotor core 1 is R1, and the radius of the first arc 211 is R2. The high-efficiency rotor has the relationship: 16≤R1 / R2≤27. By setting the ratio of R1 to R2, it is ensured that the slot 2 has sufficient area, which is more conducive to improving motor efficiency and maximum motor torque. At the same time, it also helps to reduce the stamping difficulty of the slot 2 and ensures the sufficiency of aluminum liquid casting.

[0049] The high-efficiency rotor of this embodiment, by setting the first and second straight shoulders in the tangential direction of the first arc, can reduce the stamping difficulty of the slots, reduce the wear of the die punch, and improve the fullness of aluminum molten casting, thereby increasing the product qualification rate. By setting the included angle between the first straight shoulder and the first straight side to an obtuse angle, the fullness of aluminum molten casting can be further improved, which is conducive to improving product production quality and ensuring the normal performance of the product. By adjusting the ratio of L2 to L3, the yoke of the rotor core is ensured to have sufficient area, thereby reducing the magnetic flux density of the yoke of the rotor core and improving the performance of the motor. By adjusting the ratio of R1 to R2, the motor efficiency and maximum torque can be further improved, while also reducing the stamping difficulty of the slots and ensuring the fullness of aluminum molten casting.

The stator 100 includes a stator core 101 and a plurality of through slots 102 disposed circumferentially along the stator core 101, wherein the plurality of through slots 102 are distributed at equal intervals and at equal angles.

[0052] In some embodiments, the through slot 102 has an opening 103 on the side near the high-efficiency rotor 200, and slot shoulders are formed on both sides of the opening 103 within the through slot 102. By providing the opening 103 in the through slot 102, the magnetic resistance of leakage flux can be increased, thereby reducing leakage flux and improving the efficiency of the motor. In addition, providing the opening 103 also facilitates the embedding of wires into the through slot 102, which helps to simplify the motor assembly process and improve the motor assembly efficiency.

[0053] The motor in this embodiment, due to the high-efficiency rotor, effectively reduces the input power of the motor and improves the operating efficiency of the motor. At the same time, the maximum torque of the motor is also increased, thereby improving the power performance of the motor. By opening an opening on the side of the through slot near the high-efficiency rotor, the magnetic resistance of leakage flux can be increased, the leakage flux can be reduced, and the motor efficiency can be improved. At the same time, it is also beneficial to simplify the motor assembly process and improve the motor assembly efficiency.
