[0035] Reference Figures 1 to 6 As shown, the first aspect of this utility model provides a motor for use in electrical equipment, such as air conditioners or fresh air systems. For example, the motor is used in the fan of an air conditioner as a power source to enable the fan to deliver air.
[0036] The following is a detailed description of the structure and components of the motor.
[0037] Reference Figure 1 As shown, the motor includes a stator assembly 100 and a rotor assembly 200. Both the stator assembly 100 and the rotor assembly 200 are annular, with the stator assembly 100 arranged around the outer periphery of the rotor assembly 200. The inner peripheral wall of the stator assembly 100 and the outer peripheral wall of the rotor assembly 200 are spaced apart and form an air gap 240. In other words, the motor has an inner rotor structure.
[0038] Reference Figure 1As shown, the stator assembly 100 includes a stator core 110 and multiple windings. The stator core 110 is generally annular and typically consists of multiple stator laminations stacked along its central axis. The stator core 110 includes a stator yoke 111 and multiple stator teeth 112. The stator yoke 111 is annular, and the multiple stator teeth 112 are connected to the inner circumferential wall of the stator yoke 111 and extend radially toward the central axis of the stator core 110. The multiple stator teeth 112 are evenly spaced circumferentially around the stator core 110. Thus, the space located on the side of the multiple stator teeth 112 closest to the central axis of the stator core 110 forms the inner hole of the stator core 110. It is easy to understand that the direction of the central axis of the stator core 110 is the axial direction of the stator core 110, the direction around the central axis of the stator core 110 is the circumferential direction of the stator core 110, and the direction perpendicular to the central axis of the stator core 110 and pointing outward from the central axis of the stator core 110, and its reverse direction, are the radial directions of the stator core 110. Along the radial direction of the stator core 110, the side closer to the central axis of the stator core 110 is the inner side, and the side farther away from the central axis of the stator core 110 is the outer side.
[0039] Reference Figure 2 As shown, it can be understood that the stator tooth 112 includes a tooth portion 1121 and a tooth shoe 1122. The tooth portion 1121 is connected to the inner peripheral wall of the stator yoke portion 111 and extends radially toward the center of the stator core 110. The tooth shoe 1122 is connected to one end of the tooth portion 1121 away from the stator yoke portion 111, and the tooth shoe 1122 protrudes circumferentially toward both sides of the tooth portion 1121 along the stator core 110.
[0040] Reference Figure 1 As shown, it can be understood that a winding slot 113 is defined between two adjacent stator teeth 112, and the number of winding slots 113 is equal to the number of stator teeth 112. Furthermore, the number of winding slots 113 and the number of stator teeth 112 are both equal to the number of windings. Multiple windings are respectively wound around the tooth portions 1121 of multiple stator teeth 112, and each winding is accommodated within the winding slots 113 located on both sides of the corresponding stator tooth 112.
[0041] Reference Figure 1As shown, it can be understood that the stator assembly 100 is arranged around the outer periphery of the rotor assembly 200, that is, the rotor assembly 200 is located in the inner hole of the stator core 110, and the rotor assembly 200 can rotate relative to the stator assembly 100. Specifically, the rotor assembly 200 includes a rotor core 210 and a plurality of permanent magnets 220. The rotor core 210 is composed of a plurality of core units 211. The outer contour of the core unit 211 is roughly fan-shaped, and the smaller end of the fan-shaped core unit 211 is closer to the central axis of the stator core 110 than the larger end. The plurality of core units 211 are arranged at equal intervals along the circumference of the stator core 110. A mounting slot 212 is defined between two adjacent core units 211. The number of mounting slots 212 is equal to the number of core units 211, and the number of mounting slots 212 and the number of core units 211 are equal to the number of permanent magnets 220. Multiple permanent magnets 220 are respectively installed in multiple mounting slots 212.
[0042] Reference Figure 1 As shown, it is understandable that the disconnection between two adjacent core units 211 helps to reduce magnetic leakage and improve the utilization rate of the permanent magnet 220.
[0043] Reference Figure 1 As shown, it can be understood that in this example, the motor is a twelve-slot, ten-pole motor, that is, there are twelve winding slots 113 and ten permanent magnets 220.
[0044] Of course, the number of slots and poles of a motor is not limited to twelve slots and ten poles; other combinations of slots and poles are also possible, which will not be elaborated here.
[0045] Reference Figure 1 As shown, the minimum outer diameter of the stator core 110 is defined as D1, and the minimum inner diameter of the stator core 110 is defined as D2. In this embodiment, the outer contour of the stator core 110 is a regular polygon with the same number of sides as the number of winding slots 113, and is an even number, meaning the number of stator teeth 112 is also an even number, and the inner wall surface of the stator teeth 112 is an arc-shaped surface. On the projection plane perpendicular to the central axis of the stator core 110, the minimum outer diameter D1 of the stator core 110 is the distance between two line segments symmetrically arranged about the central axis of the stator core 110 in the outer contour of the stator core 110, and the minimum inner diameter D2 of the stator core 110 is the minimum distance of the line segments passing through the center of the stator core 110 (i.e., the projection of the central axis) and extending to the projection of the inner wall surfaces of the two stator teeth 112 symmetrically arranged about the central axis of the stator core 110.
[0046] Reference Figure 1As shown, the maximum outer diameter of the rotor core 210 is defined as D3, and the minimum inner diameter of the rotor core 210 is defined as D4. In this embodiment, the number of core units 211 is even. On the projection plane perpendicular to the central axis of the rotor core 210, the maximum outer diameter D3 of the rotor core 210 is the maximum distance of the line segment passing through the center of the rotor core 210 (i.e., the projection of the central axis) and extending to the projection of the outer wall surfaces of the two core units 211 arranged symmetrically about the central axis of the rotor core 210. The minimum inner diameter D4 of the rotor core 210 is the minimum distance of the line segment passing through the center of the rotor core 210 (i.e., the projection of the central axis) and extending to the projection of the inner wall surfaces of the two core units 211 arranged symmetrically about the central axis of the rotor core 210.
[0047] In other words, the minimum outer diameter D1 of the stator core 110 is the minimum value of the outer diameter at all points of the stator core 110, the minimum inner diameter D2 of the stator core 110 is the minimum value of the inner diameter at all points of the stator core 110, the maximum outer diameter D3 of the rotor core 210 is the maximum value of the outer diameter at all points of the rotor core 210, and the minimum inner diameter D4 of the rotor core 210 is the minimum value of the inner diameter at all points of the rotor core 210.
[0048] Reference Figure 2 As shown, it can be understood that the minimum tooth width of the tooth 1121 is defined as W1, which is the minimum distance between two opposing walls of the tooth 1121 along the circumference of the stator core 110. Generally speaking, the two opposing walls of the tooth 1121 along the circumference of the stator core 110 are parallel.
[0049] Reference Figure 2 As shown, it can be understood that the maximum distance W2 between the two opposite ends of the core unit 211 along the circumference of the rotor core 210 is defined. Typically, in this embodiment, adjacent core units 211 are disconnected. Each core unit 211 includes two outer magnetic bridges 2111 and two inner magnetic bridges 2112. The two outer magnetic bridges 2111 are located on both sides of the outer end of the core unit 211 along the circumference of the rotor core 210, and the two inner magnetic bridges 2112 are located on both sides of the inner end of the core unit 211 along the circumference of the rotor core 210. The outer magnetic bridges 2111 and inner magnetic bridges 2112 respectively abut against the two ends of the permanent magnet 220 along the radial direction to position the permanent magnet 220. The maximum distance W2 between the two opposite ends of the core unit 211 along the circumference of the rotor core 210 is also the maximum distance between the two opposite ends of the two outer magnetic bridges 2111 along the circumference of the rotor core 210.
[0050] In other embodiments, with the core units 211 disconnected from each other, and no external magnetic bridges 2111 on either side of the outer end of the core unit 211 along the circumference of the rotor core 210, the maximum distance W2 between the two opposite ends of the core unit 211 along the circumference of the rotor core 210 is the maximum distance between the two opposite walls of the core unit 211 along the circumference of the rotor core 210. Alternatively, if an external magnetic bridge 2111 is provided on only one side, the maximum distance W2 between the two opposite ends of the core unit 211 along the circumference of the rotor core 210 is the maximum distance between the external magnetic bridge 2111 and other walls.
[0051] In other embodiments, if two adjacent core units 211 are connected, the maximum distance W2 between the two ends of the core unit 211 that are opposite to each other in the circumferential direction of the rotor core 210 is the maximum distance between the two walls of the core unit 211 that are opposite to each other in the circumferential direction of the rotor core 210. W2 does not include the dimensions of the structure that connects the two adjacent core units 211.
[0052] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, it can be understood that the coefficient K, the minimum outer diameter D1 of the stator core 110, the minimum inner diameter D2 of the stator core 110, the maximum outer diameter D3 of the rotor core 210, the minimum inner diameter D4 of the rotor core 210, the minimum tooth width W1 of the tooth portion 1121, and the maximum distance W2 between the two opposite ends of the core unit 211 along the circumference of the rotor core 210 satisfy the following:
[0053] .
[0054] It is easy to understand that, .
[0055] It is understandable that W1 / W2 is the ratio of the minimum tooth width of the tooth 1121 to the maximum distance between the two ends of the core unit 211 that are opposite to each other in the circumferential direction along the rotor core 210, which reflects the dimensional relationship between the tooth 1121 and the core unit 211 in the circumferential direction.
[0056] It is understandable that the radial thickness of the motor is defined as the radial distance between the outer contour of the stator core 110 and the inner contour of the rotor core 210. The armature diameter of the motor is defined as the diameter of a circle with the projection of the central axis of the stator core 110 onto the axial direction as its center and the distance between the midpoint of the air gap 240 in the radial direction and the center of the circle as its radius. The value of the armature diameter is... .
[0057] In other words, It is the ratio of half the armature diameter to the radial thickness of the motor. D2 / D1 is the split ratio. This reflects the radial dimensional relationship between the stator core 110 and the rotor core 210.
[0058] It is easy to understand that the no-load back EMF is positively correlated with the product of the number of turns of the winding and the magnetic flux of the permanent magnet 220.
[0059] When K ≤ 0.19, on the one hand, given that the value of W1 / W2 is constant, The values are too small, meaning the split ratio and armature diameter are too small, and the radial thickness of the motor is too large, resulting in an increase in the radial dimension of the stator core 110, an increase in the amount of stator core 110 used and the number of winding turns, and an increase in cost; while the radial dimension of the rotor core 210 is reduced, the amount of rotor core 210 used and the amount of permanent magnet 220 used are reduced, the magnetic flux of the rotor core 210 is prone to saturation, and the magnetic flux of the permanent magnet 220 is too small. Although the number of winding turns increases, the utilization rate of the winding and the stator core 110 decreases, and the iron loss and copper loss increase, resulting in a too small no-load back EMF of the motor, a decrease in the output torque of the motor, and a decrease in efficiency; on the other hand, in Given a fixed value, if the value of W1 / W2 is too small, the minimum tooth width of the tooth 1121 is too small, and the maximum distance between the two ends of the iron core unit 211 that are opposite to each other in the circumferential direction of the rotor iron core 210 is too large, that is, the size of the tooth 1121 in the circumferential direction is too small and the size of the iron core unit 211 in the circumferential direction is too large, the magnetic flux of the stator iron core 110 is easily saturated, while the amount of rotor iron core 210 used increases, the cost increases, and the amount of permanent magnet 220 used decreases, the utilization rate of rotor iron core 210 decreases, the iron loss is large, which will also lead to the motor's no-load back EMF being too small, the motor's output torque decreasing, and the efficiency decreasing.
[0060] When K ≥ 0.4, on the one hand, given that the value of W1 / W2 is constant, The values are too large, i.e., the split ratio and armature diameter are too large, and the radial thickness of the motor is too small, resulting in a reduction in the radial dimension of the stator core 110, a reduction in the amount of stator core 110 used and the number of turns in the winding, and an easy saturation of the magnetic flux of the stator core 110; while the radial dimension of the rotor core 210 increases, the amount of rotor core 210 used and the amount of permanent magnet 220 used increases, increasing costs. Although the magnetic flux of permanent magnet 220 increases, the utilization rate of permanent magnet 220 and rotor core 210 decreases, iron loss and copper loss increase, resulting in a too small no-load back EMF of the motor, a decrease in the output torque of the motor, and a decrease in efficiency; on the other hand, in Given a fixed value, if the value of W1 / W2 is too large, the minimum tooth width of the tooth 1121 is too large, and the maximum distance between the two ends of the core unit 211 that are opposite to each other along the circumference of the rotor core 210 is too small, that is, the circumferential dimension of the tooth 1121 is too large and the circumferential dimension of the core unit 211 is too small, the magnetic flux of the rotor core 210 is prone to saturation. Although the amount of permanent magnet 220 is increased, the utilization rate of permanent magnet 220 decreases. On the other hand, the amount of stator core 110 is increased, the cost increases, and the number of turns of the winding is reduced, the utilization rate of stator core 110 decreases, the iron loss is large, which will also lead to the motor's no-load back EMF being too small, the motor's output torque decreasing, and the efficiency decreasing.
[0061] Therefore, by ensuring 0.19 ≤ K ≤ 0.4, for example, K can be 0.19, 0.22, 0.25, 0.31, 0.35, 0.38, or 0.4, the minimum outer diameter D1 of the stator core 110, the minimum inner diameter D2 of the stator core 110, the maximum outer diameter D3 of the rotor core 210, the minimum inner diameter D4 of the rotor core 210, the minimum tooth width W1 of the tooth portion 1121, and the maximum distance W2 between the two opposite ends of the core unit 211 along the circumference of the rotor core 210 are adjusted and optimized. This allows for the radial dimensions of the stator core 110 and the rotor core 210 to be optimized. By keeping the radial dimensions, the circumferential dimensions of the tooth 1121, the circumferential dimensions of the core unit 211, the number of turns in the winding, and the amount of permanent magnet 220 within a reasonable range, the magnetic flux saturation of the stator core 110 and the rotor core 210 is reduced, and the utilization rate of the winding and permanent magnet 220 is improved, reducing iron loss and copper loss. Thus, while ensuring the output torque of the motor, the no-load back EMF of the motor is increased by about 32%, while reducing the amount of materials used and lowering the cost by about 20%, and effectively improving the operating efficiency of the motor.
[0062] It is easy to understand that the output torque of a motor is positively correlated with the product of the no-load back EMF and the input current.
[0063] Given a fixed output torque, increasing the no-load back EMF reduces the input current, thereby further reducing losses and improving the motor's operating efficiency, ultimately enhancing its output performance.
[0064] In other embodiments, the outer contour of the stator core 110 may also be a polygonal shape (with a recess in the outer contour), a circle, or a closed loop formed by connecting multiple arc segments.
[0065] Understandably, the stator laminations that make up the stator core 110 are formed by stamping from sheet metal such as silicon steel plates. The shape of the stamped stator laminations can be ring-shaped; simply stacking multiple ring-shaped stator laminations in corresponding positions along the thickness direction yields the ring-shaped stator core 110. Alternatively, the shape of the stamped stator laminations can be chain-shaped; stacking multiple chain-shaped stator laminations in corresponding positions along the thickness direction yields a chain structure, which is then bent into a ring shape using a bending process and joined end to end to obtain the ring-shaped stator core 110.
[0066] It is understood that in this embodiment, the stator laminations obtained by punching are in a chain shape. Therefore, during material layout, the chain-shaped stator laminations are arranged in a straight line on the silicon steel sheet and other plates. This optimizes the layout, reduces waste, improves the material utilization rate of the plates, and thus reduces material costs.
[0067] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 Specifically, in the stator core 110 composed of chain-like stator laminations, the stator yoke 111 includes multiple yoke units 1111, the number of which is equal to the number of stator teeth 112. The multiple yoke units 1111 are arranged sequentially along the circumference of the stator core 110 and form a ring. The multiple stator teeth 112 are respectively connected to the wall surface of the multiple yoke units 1111 on the side facing the central axis of the stator core 110.
[0068] Continue to refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 It is understood that at least one adjacent pair of yoke units 1111 is provided with a splicing structure 1112, and each other adjacent pair of yoke units 1111 is connected by a bending portion 1113. Specifically, in this embodiment, the stator core 110 is composed of a chain-like structure. After the chain-like structure is assembled into a ring, the first and last two yoke units 1111 are joined together by the splicing structure 1112. The splicing structure 1112 can be a dovetail groove structure, a concave-convex fit structure, etc. Each other adjacent pair of yoke units 1111 is connected by a bending portion 1113. The bending portion 1113 allows the adjacent two yoke units 1111 to be bent relative to each other in a direction perpendicular to the central axis of the stator core 110, so that the chain-like structure can be bent into a ring-shaped stator core 110, which is convenient for production.
[0069] Of course, the stator core 110 is composed of multiple chain-like structures spliced together in sequence to form a ring. Adjacent chain-like structures are connected by splicing structure 1112. In each chain-like structure, a bending part 1113 is connected between every two adjacent yoke units 1111, which will not be described in detail here.
[0070] Reference Figure 1As shown, it can be understood that the minimum inner diameter D2 of the stator core 110 satisfies: 58mm ≤ D2 ≤ 62mm. For example, D2 can be 58mm, 59mm, 59.5mm, 61.3mm, or 62mm, etc. Under the premise that the radial width of the air gap 240 is constant, a larger minimum inner diameter D2 of the stator core 110 results in a larger armature diameter for the motor, thereby increasing the radial thickness of the rotor core 210. This reduces the saturation level of the rotor core 210 and increases the amount of permanent magnets 220, thereby increasing the motor's output torque and no-load back EMF, thus improving the motor's output performance.
[0071] It is easy to understand that, due to the increased amount of permanent magnet 220, the magnetic field stability of permanent magnet 220 is high and the anti-demagnetization ability is enhanced, which makes the demagnetizing current required for permanent magnet 220 to demagnetize larger, achieving a demagnetizing current increase of about 30%, which is beneficial to improving the demagnetizing performance of the motor.
[0072] Reference Figure 4 As shown in the figure, the graph displays the surface plot of the motor's no-load back EMF as a function of the values of K and D2. The graph shows that when D2 is constant, the motor's no-load back EMF first increases and then decreases as K increases. Similarly, when K is constant, the motor's no-load back EMF first increases and then decreases as D2 increases. Furthermore, the motor's no-load back EMF reaches its maximum of approximately 73.5V when K is approximately 0.3 and D2 is approximately 60. When 0.19 ≤ K ≤ 0.4 and 58mm ≤ D2 ≤ 62mm, the motor's no-load back EMF remains above approximately 72V. Therefore, setting 0.19 ≤ K ≤ 0.4 and 58mm ≤ D2 ≤ 62mm effectively improves the motor's no-load back EMF.
[0073] Reference Figure 2 As shown, it can be understood that the minimum thickness of the stator yoke 111 along the radial direction of the stator core 110 is defined as H. H is the minimum thickness of the yoke unit 1111, which is also the minimum distance between two opposing walls of the yoke unit 1111 along the radial direction of the stator core 110. Generally speaking, the two opposing walls of the yoke unit 1111 along the radial direction of the stator core 110 are parallel.
[0074] Reference Figure 2As shown, it can be understood that the minimum tooth width W1 of the tooth portion 1121 and the minimum thickness H of the stator yoke 111 satisfy the following condition: 1.5 ≤ W1 / H ≤ 2.2. When W1 / H < 1.5, the minimum width W1 of the tooth portion 1121 is too small, and the magnetic flux of the tooth portion 1121 is prone to saturation, which will lead to a decrease in the output torque of the motor. The minimum thickness H of the stator yoke 111 is too large, which increases the material and cost. When W1 / H > 2.2, the minimum thickness H of the stator yoke 111 is too small, and the magnetic flux of the stator yoke 111 is prone to saturation, which will lead to a decrease in the output torque of the motor. The minimum tooth width W1 of the tooth portion 1121 is too large, which increases the material and cost.
[0075] Therefore, 1.5 ≤ W1 / H ≤ 2.2 is made, for example, the value of W1 / H is 1.5, 1.63, 1.78, 1.82, 1.95, 2.1 or 2.2, etc., to adjust the minimum tooth width of the tooth portion 1121 and the minimum thickness of the stator yoke portion 111, so that the ratio of the minimum tooth width W1 of the tooth portion 1121 to the minimum thickness H of the stator yoke portion 111 is within a suitable range, thereby reducing the magnetic flux saturation of the stator core 110, increasing the output torque of the motor, and reducing material costs.
[0076] Understandably, specifically, the minimum tooth width W1 of tooth 1121 satisfies: 5.3mm ≤ W1 ≤ 7.2mm. For example, W1 can be 5.3mm, 5.8mm, 6.1mm, 6.8mm, 7mm, or 7.2mm, etc., so that the minimum tooth width of tooth 1121 is set relatively large, thereby reducing the magnetic flux saturation of tooth 1121 and stator core 110, effectively improving the output torque and efficiency of the motor.
[0077] Reference Figure 2 As shown, it can be understood that the maximum distance between the two opposite ends of the toothed shoe 1122 along the circumference of the stator core 110 is defined as W3. The maximum distance W3 between the two opposite ends of the toothed shoe 1122 along the circumference of the stator core 110 and the maximum distance W2 between the two opposite ends of the core unit 211 along the circumference of the rotor core 210 satisfy: 1.1≤W3 / W2≤1.4.
[0078] It is easy to understand that the magnetic field lines between the stator assembly 100 and the rotor assembly 200 are mainly conducted through the toothed shoe 1122 and the core unit 211. The maximum distance W3 between the two opposite ends of the toothed shoe 1122 along the circumference of the stator core 110 reflects, to some extent, the ability of the toothed shoe 1122 to receive or emit magnetic field lines. The larger the value of W3, the better the ability of the toothed shoe 1122 to receive or emit magnetic field lines, and the lower the magnetic flux saturation of the toothed shoe 1122 under the premise of a constant magnetic field strength. Similarly, the maximum distance W2 between the two opposite ends of the core unit 211 along the circumference of the rotor core 210 reflects, to some extent, the ability of the core unit 211 to receive or emit magnetic field lines. The larger the value of W2, the better the ability of the core unit 211 to receive or emit magnetic field lines, and the lower the magnetic flux saturation of the core unit 211 under the premise of a constant magnetic field strength.
[0079] When W3 / W2 < 1.1, the maximum distance W3 between the two opposite ends of the stator core 110 along the circumference of the toothed shoe 1122 is too small, the magnetic flux of the toothed shoe 1122 is easily saturated, the utilization rate of the magnetic field decreases, and the output torque of the motor decreases; while the maximum distance W2 between the two opposite ends of the rotor core 210 along the circumference of the core unit 211 is too large. Limited by the toothed shoe 1122, the utilization rate of the core unit 211 decreases, the iron loss increases, and the cost increases.
[0080] When W3 / W2 > 1.4, the maximum distance W2 between the two opposite ends of the core unit 211 along the circumference of the rotor core 210 is too small, the magnetic flux of the core unit 211 is easily saturated, the utilization rate of the magnetic field decreases, and the output torque of the motor decreases; while the maximum distance W3 between the two opposite ends of the toothed shoe 1122 along the circumference of the stator core 110 is too large. Limited by the core unit 211, the utilization rate of the toothed shoe 1122 decreases, the iron loss increases, and the cost increases.
[0081] It is easy to understand that a permanent magnet 220 is installed between two adjacent core units 211. The permanent magnet 220 has a certain thickness along the circumference of the rotor core 210, and to reduce magnetic leakage, the two adjacent core units 211 are disconnected from each other and the distance between them is as large as possible (less than the thickness of the permanent magnet 220). A slot 113 is formed between two adjacent toothed shoes 1122. If the slot is too large, it will lead to an increase in cogging torque and a deterioration in vibration and noise. Although the number of toothed shoes 1122 is greater than the number of core units 211, in this embodiment there are twelve toothed shoes 1122 and ten core units 211. Due to the limitation of installing permanent magnets 220, in order to reduce magnetic leakage and reduce cogging torque, generally speaking, W3 > W2, and W3 / W2 ≥ 1.1.
[0082] Therefore, by making 1.1≤W3 / W2≤1.4, for example, the value of W3 / W2 is 1.1, 1.15, 1.2, 1.28, 1.31, 1.38 or 1.4, the maximum distance W3 between the two opposite ends of the toothed shoe 1122 along the circumference of the stator core 110 and the maximum distance W2 between the two opposite ends of the core unit 211 along the circumference of the rotor core 210 are optimized. At the same time, the magnetic flux saturation of the toothed shoe 1122 and the core unit 211 is reduced, the utilization rate of the magnetic field is improved, the iron loss is reduced, thereby improving the output torque and operating efficiency of the motor and reducing the cost.
[0083] Reference Figure 3 As shown, it can be understood that the number of permanent magnets 220 is defined as N, the maximum radial length of the permanent magnet 220 along the rotor core 210 is a, where a is the maximum distance between two opposing walls of the permanent magnet 220 along the radial direction of the rotor core 210, and the maximum circumferential thickness of the permanent magnet 220 along the rotor core 210 is b, where b is the maximum distance between two opposing walls of the permanent magnet 220 along the circumferential direction of the rotor core 210. Generally, on a projection plane perpendicular to the central axis of the rotor core 210, the projection of the permanent magnet 220 is rectangular, meaning the length of the projection of the permanent magnet 220 is a, and the width of the projection of the permanent magnet 220 is b.
[0084] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, it can be understood that the maximum thickness b of the permanent magnet 220 and the minimum inner diameter D2 of the stator core 110 satisfy the condition: 0.35 ≤ N*b / (π*D2) ≤ 0.54. Here, N*b reflects, to some extent, the space occupied by N permanent magnets 220 in the circumferential direction of the rotor core 210. It is easy to understand that the space of the rotor assembly 200 in the circumferential direction of the rotor core 210 is occupied by the core unit 211 and the permanent magnets 220. Given a fixed maximum outer diameter D3 and minimum inner diameter D4 of the rotor core 210, a larger space occupied by the permanent magnets 220 in the circumferential direction indicates a larger quantity of permanent magnets 220, while a smaller space occupied by the core unit 211 in the circumferential direction indicates a smaller quantity of core unit 211.
[0085] π*D2 is the circumference of the circle with the minimum inner diameter D2 of the stator core 110 as its diameter. Generally speaking, once the minimum inner diameter D2 of the stator core 110 is determined and the distance of the air gap 240 in the radial direction of the stator core 110 is determined, the space of the rotor assembly 200 in the circumferential direction of the rotor core 210 can be determined.
[0086] When N*b / (π*D2) < 0.35, given that the minimum inner diameter D2 of the stator core 110 is determined, the thickness of the permanent magnet 220 is too small, the amount of permanent magnet 220 used decreases, the magnetic field of the permanent magnet 220 weakens, resulting in a decrease in the output torque of the motor. Meanwhile, the amount of core unit 211 used increases, but due to the limitation of the magnetic field of the permanent magnet 220, the utilization rate of the core unit 211 decreases, iron loss increases, and the operating efficiency of the motor decreases.
[0087] When N*b / (π*D2)>0.54, given that the minimum inner diameter D2 of the stator core 110 is determined, the thickness of the permanent magnet 220 is too large. Although the amount of permanent magnet 220 increases and the magnetic field of the permanent magnet 220 is enhanced, the amount of core unit 211 decreases and the magnetic flux of the core unit 211 is easily saturated, resulting in a decrease in the utilization rate of the permanent magnet 220. This will also lead to a decrease in the output torque of the motor and a decrease in operating efficiency.
[0088] Therefore, by ensuring that 0.35≤N*b / (π*D2)≤0.54, for example, the value of N*b / (π*D2) is 0.35, 0.38, 0.41, 0.46, 0.51, or 0.54, and given that the minimum inner diameter D2 of the stator core 110 is determined, the amount of permanent magnet 220 and core unit 211 is optimized, the magnetic flux saturation of core unit 211 is reduced, and the utilization rate of core unit 211 and permanent magnet 220 is improved, thereby reducing iron loss and thus improving the output torque and operating efficiency of the motor.
[0089] Reference Figure 3 As shown, it can be understood that the maximum length *a* and maximum thickness *b* of the permanent magnet 220 satisfy 1.4 ≤ a / b ≤ 2.15. Under the premise that the maximum thickness *b* of the permanent magnet 220 satisfies 0.35 ≤ N*b / (π*D²) ≤ 0.54, that is, under the premise that the maximum thickness *b* of the permanent magnet 220 is determined, making *a / b ≥ 1.4 means increasing the length of the permanent magnet 220, strengthening its magnetic field, improving the utilization rate of the core unit 211, and thus improving the motor's output torque and operating efficiency. Making *a / b ≤ 2.15 avoids the drawback of excessive magnetic flux saturation in the core unit 211 due to an excessively large magnetic field of the permanent magnet 220, reducing iron loss, and thus ensuring the motor's output torque and operating efficiency.
[0090] Therefore, by making 1.4≤a / b≤2.15, for example, the value of a / b is 1.4, 1.52, 1.65, 1.89, 1.92, 1.98, 2.01, 2.11 or 2.15, the amount of permanent magnet 220 is further optimized to enhance the magnetic field and improve the utilization rate of the iron core unit 211, reduce iron loss, and thus improve the output torque and operating efficiency of the motor.
[0091] Reference Figure 5As shown in the figure, the graph displays the motor efficiency as a function of the values of N*b / (π*D2) and a / b. It can be seen from the graph that, when the value of a / b is constant, the motor efficiency first increases and then decreases as the value of N*b / (π*D2) increases; similarly, when the value of N*b / (π*D2) is constant, the motor efficiency first increases and then decreases as the value of a / b increases. Furthermore, the motor efficiency is at its maximum, approximately 73.5%, when the value of N*b / (π*D2) is approximately 0.45 and the value of a / b is approximately 1.8. When 0.35≤N*b / (π*D2)≤0.54 and 1.4≤a / b≤2.15, the motor efficiency remains above approximately 69%. Therefore, it is evident that 0.35≤N*b / (π*D2)≤0.54 and 1.4≤a / b≤2.15 can effectively improve the motor efficiency.
[0092] Reference Figure 1 As shown, it can be understood that in this embodiment, the rotor assembly 200 also includes an inner core 230, which is disposed within the space surrounded by multiple core units 211. Typically, the inner core 230 has a shaft hole in its center for the shaft to pass through, and the shaft is fixedly connected to the inner core 230. The inner core 230 is disconnected from the multiple core units 211, which helps to further reduce magnetic leakage and improve the utilization rate of the permanent magnets 220. It is readily understood that the spaces between the multiple core units 211, the multiple permanent magnets 220, the inner core 230, and the shaft are filled with injection-molded material to achieve interconnection and fixation, thereby improving the structural stability of the rotor assembly 200.
[0093] Reference Figure 6 As shown, the figure compares the output torque of the motor in this embodiment with that of the motor in the prior art, showing the changes in input current. From the two curves in the figure, it can be seen that under light load conditions, i.e., when the input current is small (specifically, within the range of 0A to 0.6A), the two curves essentially overlap. Under heavy load conditions, i.e., when the input current is small (specifically, within the range of 0.6A to 1.6A), the curve of this embodiment is above the curve of the prior art. In other words, under light load conditions, the output torque of the motor in this embodiment is essentially equal to that of the motor in the prior art, while under heavy load conditions, the output torque of the motor in this embodiment is greater than that of the motor in the prior art. The motor in this embodiment possesses good heavy load capacity and improves overload capacity to a certain extent.
