[0002] The stator and rotor cores of an air conditioner compressor are manufactured by stamping and stacking using a high-speed punch press and specific molds. Currently, there are two main methods for stamping stator cores: integral split stamping and segmented stamping. Compared to integral split stamping, segmented stamping is less efficient and cannot produce the required number of cores at once, thus requiring multiple stamping processes.

[0003] With advancements in mold technology, current segmented stamping processes can simultaneously stamp molds for six stator segments, thus improving efficiency. However, due to the use of different stamping materials, products produced by different molds may vary, affecting motor performance. Furthermore, combining segmented cores from different molds during subsequent assembly may negatively impact the accuracy of the stator core. Utility Model Content

[0026] Current segmented stamping processes can simultaneously stamp six segmented stators using dies, thus improving efficiency. However, due to the use of different stamping materials, products produced by different dies may vary, affecting motor performance. Furthermore, combining segmented cores from different dies during subsequent assembly may negatively impact the accuracy of the stator core.

[0027] This utility model proposes a stator 100, which aims to solve the problem of ensuring the installation accuracy of multiple stator cores before and after assembly for stator cores stamped by an integral split stamping process.

[0028] Please see Figures 1 to 3 In one embodiment of the present invention, the stator 100 includes a plurality of stator units 10 arranged circumferentially thereon. Each stator unit 10 includes a plurality of stator laminations stacked sequentially in the axial direction of the stator 100. Each stator unit 10 includes a yoke 11 and a toothed portion 12 disposed inside the yoke 11. The toothed portion 12 is for winding a corresponding winding. One of each pair of adjacent yokes 11 is provided with a positioning protrusion 111, and the other is provided with a positioning groove a that positions and engages with the positioning protrusion 111. Any two adjacent stator units 10 are interference-fitted by the positioning protrusion 111 and the positioning groove a.

[0029] It should be noted that "the stator 100 includes multiple stator units 10 arranged circumferentially" refers to the process of stamping multiple stacked laminations in one go using an integral split stamping technique to create multiple interconnected stator units 10. One of each pair of adjacent yokes 11 is provided with a positioning protrusion 111, and the other is provided with a positioning groove a that engages with the positioning protrusion 111. Simultaneously, each stator unit 10 is formed by stacking multiple stator laminations in sequence and riveting them together at rivet points to form a whole.

[0030] When winding is required, the multiple stator units 10 connected in a ring are disassembled. After each stator unit 10 is fixed by a fixing fixture, the enameled wire is wound onto the tooth 12 of the corresponding stator unit 10, without being restricted by the other stator units 10, thereby increasing the slot fill factor. After winding is completed, the multiple stator units 10 are reassembled. In the overall split-type punching process, after the stator unit 10 undergoes disassembly, winding, and reassembly, its accuracy and strength are comparable to those of a whole-circle stator, improving the yield rate.

[0031] "One of each pair of adjacent yoke portions 11 is provided with a positioning protrusion 111, and the other is provided with a positioning groove a that positions and engages with the positioning protrusion 111." In other words, one stator unit 10 may have two positioning grooves a on its yoke portion 11, and the other stator unit 10 may have two positioning protrusions 111 on its yoke portion 11. The stator unit 10 with the two positioning grooves a engages with the positioning protrusions 111 on the two adjacent stator units 10 on either side. Alternatively, each stator unit 10 may have a positioning protrusion 111 at one end and a positioning groove a at the other end.

[0032] In the technical solution of this utility model, the positioning protrusion 111 and the positioning groove a are interference fit. After the multiple stator units 10 are assembled into a complete circle, there is a preload between each pair of adjacent stator units 10, so that each stator unit 10 is positioned in a preset position in the circumferential direction. The yoke 11 is provided with the positioning groove a and the positioning protrusion 111 at the end of the stator 100 in the circumferential direction, so that the movement of each stator unit 10 in the radial direction of the stator 100 is restricted, further ensuring the position of each stator unit 10 in the radial direction of the stator 100, and ensuring that the multiple stator units 10 maintain installation accuracy before and after assembly.

[0033] It should be noted that the positioning groove a and the positioning protrusion 111 are stamped to form an interference fit, and the processing methods are as follows:

[0034] ① The die can be designed as a slightly inverted cone (the upper end is slightly wider than the lower end). During punching, the material is squeezed rather than sheared. The protruding part expands slightly due to elastic rebound after leaving the die, resulting in a size slightly larger than the groove.

[0035] The clearance between the punch and die is set to a negative value (e.g., -5% of the material thickness), which forces the material to be compressed during punching. The raised edge forms a plastic deformation zone, increasing its size; the groove shrinks due to the material being squeezed, eventually forming an interference fit.

[0036] ② Three-dimensional pressure (blade clamping force, counter-pressure force, and punching force) is used to suppress material tearing and ensure a smooth, burr-free sheared surface. By adjusting the pressure of the blank clamping ring, the protruding part is controlled to be subjected to lateral compression during punching, resulting in plastic deformation, with a size slightly larger than the groove.

[0037] Based on the springback coefficient of silicon steel sheets, the protrusion design size is pre-enlarged (e.g., a 0.02-0.05mm allowance is reserved), and the springback after punching causes the actual size to be over-interference.

[0038] Traditional blanking results in clearance due to shearing, while interference fits rely on the plastic flow of material (such as extrusion and upsetting) rather than simple shearing. For example, the root of a protrusion is subjected to pressure from the sidewall of the die during blanking, resulting in radial plastic expansion and forming a "drum-shaped" protrusion.

[0039] ③ The precision blanking technology is adopted, the groove diameter is designed to be 1.48mm, the protrusion diameter is 1.50mm (interference 0.02mm), the die negative clearance is -0.03mm, and the blank holder force reaches 80% of the material yield strength to achieve a stable interference fit.

[0040] The achievement of interference fit relies on die geometry optimization (inverted taper, negative clearance), material plastic deformation control (fine blanking, extrusion), and dynamic springback compensation. Traditional blanking results in clearance due to pure shearing, while integral split-type stamping can force material flow in a single stamping, allowing the protrusion size to exceed the groove, thus achieving interference fit.

[0041] Specifically, in this embodiment, the interference fit between the positioning protrusion 111 and the positioning groove a is δd, where 0.01m ≤ δd ≤ 0.03mm.

[0042] It is understood that the interference fit δd refers to the dimensional difference designed to achieve a tight connection between two adjacent stator units 10.

[0043] The interference fit between two adjacent stator units 10 is set within the range of 0.01mm≤δd≤0.03mm, which ensures sufficient preload to maintain a tight fit between the two stator units 10, while avoiding assembly difficulties or material damage due to excessive interference fit.

[0044] From a manufacturing perspective, since the stator 100 of this utility model adopts an integral split stamping technology, multi-layer silicon steel sheets are stamped into a stator 100 integral consisting of multiple stator units 10 connected together. The interference fit is mainly generated by plastic deformation and springback after stamping. The interference fit amount δd is set between 0.01mm and 0.03mm, which can conform to the springback coefficient of silicon steel sheets.

[0045] By setting the interference fit between adjacent stator units 10 to between 0.01mm and 0.03mm, sufficient bonding strength can be ensured while taking into account the practical convenience of manufacturing and assembly, and it also helps to improve the overall performance and durability of the motor.

[0046] Specifically, please refer to Figure 3 In this embodiment, the yoke 11 has two ends located in the circumferential direction of the stator 100 body. One end of the yoke 11 is provided with the positioning protrusion 111, and the other end is provided with the positioning groove a.

[0047] Thus, each stator unit 10 is provided with the positioning protrusion 111 and the positioning groove a, and the structure and stress of each stator unit 10 are in the same state. During the operation of the motor, each stator unit 10 can be in a relatively stable state.

[0048] Furthermore, the groove width of the positioning groove a is d1, and the dimension of the end of the yoke 11 in the radial direction of the stator 100 body is d, where 1 / 4d≤d1≤3 / 4d.

[0049] For stamping processes, constraining the width d1 of the positioning groove a to 1 / 4d ≤ d1 ≤ 3 / 4d can reduce die wear during stamping. When the opening of the positioning groove a is too narrow (less than 1 / 4d), the material flow resistance increases, leading to excessive local wear of the die; while when the opening of the positioning groove a is too wide, it affects the accuracy and stability of the part.

[0050] During the stamping process, the metal material needs to undergo plastic deformation under the action of the die. Constraining the groove width d1 of the positioning groove a to 1 / 4d ≤ d1 ≤ 3 / 4d ensures good material flowability and avoids defects such as cracks and wrinkles caused by material accumulation or insufficient stretching. This guarantees the dimensional and shape accuracy of the stamped parts and also improves the fitting accuracy and overall performance of the stator 100 during the subsequent assembly of multiple stator units 10.

[0051] Regarding eddy current losses on the surface of stator 100, constraining the slot width d1 of the positioning slot a to 1 / 4d ≤ d1 ≤ 3 / 4d allows for control of the eddy current flow path within the stator 100 core. A narrower slot width shortens the eddy current flow path, thereby reducing eddy current losses. However, if the slot is too narrow, it may increase manufacturing difficulty and cause material stress concentration problems. Therefore, selecting an appropriate slot width within a specified range can effectively reduce eddy current losses without significantly increasing manufacturing complexity.

[0052] By constraining the slot width d1 of the positioning slot a to 1 / 4d≤d1≤3 / 4d, and ensuring that the slot width is within a reasonable range, the magnetic field distortion caused by structural irregularities can be reduced, and additional eddy current losses can be reduced, thereby lowering eddy current losses.

[0053] By controlling the slot width of the positioning slot a within the above range, electrical performance and mechanical manufacturing can be balanced, effectively reducing eddy current losses on the surface of stator 100, while also ensuring the feasibility of the manufacturing process, thereby improving the efficiency and performance of the motor.

[0054] Specifically, in this embodiment, the positioning groove a is set as an arc-shaped groove or a square groove.

[0055] The shape of the positioning groove a can be an arc-shaped groove, a square groove, or a combination of irregular-shaped grooves.

[0056] It is understood that the positioning groove a is preferably an arc-shaped groove. Compared with the square groove, the edge of the arc-shaped groove is smoother, which can effectively disperse the local stress caused by the interference fit and reduce stress concentration.

[0057] Due to the shape of the arc-shaped groove, a natural and smooth guide surface is provided, making it easier to align and match adjacent stator units 10 during assembly. The arc-shaped groove design reduces the presence of sharp angles, making inter-component insertion smoother and reducing the required insertion force. The adaptive alignment method can tolerate minor manufacturing errors or installation deviations to a certain extent, thus simplifying the assembly process. Furthermore, if fine-tuning is required to achieve the optimal position, the arc-shaped groove offers greater flexibility than the square groove, facilitating quick and accurate assembly.

[0058] The contact surface between the arc-shaped groove and the positioning protrusion 111 is designed as a curved surface contact, which provides a larger actual contact area compared to the planar contact of the square groove. This allows for more even pressure distribution, further improving connection stability and facilitating a tighter interference fit.

[0059] In summary, regarding ease of assembly, setting the positioning groove a as an arc-shaped groove can reduce stress concentration, improve alignment accuracy, increase contact area, facilitate insertion and adjustment, and improve structural stability, thereby improving assembly efficiency and quality.

[0060] Specifically, in this embodiment, the positioning groove a is located at the center of the yoke 11 in the radial direction of the stator 100 body, and correspondingly, the positioning protrusion 111 is located at the center of the yoke 11 in the radial direction of the stator 100 body.

[0061] By setting the positioning groove a and the positioning protrusion 111 at the center of the yoke 11 in the radial direction of the stator 100 body, the mechanical stress generated during assembly can be more evenly distributed on the yoke 11, thereby avoiding local deformation or damage caused by stress concentration, and thus enhancing the structural stability of the stator unit 10.

[0062] This utility model also proposes an electric motor, which includes a rotor 200 and a stator 100. The rotor 200 is disposed on the radial inner side of the stator 100. The specific structure of the stator 100 is as described in the above embodiments. Since this electric motor adopts all the technical solutions of all the above embodiments, it has at least all the beneficial effects brought about by the technical solutions of the above embodiments, which will not be described in detail here.

[0063] This utility model also proposes a compressor, which includes a cylinder and a motor. The motor drives the rolling piston of the cylinder to move. The specific structure of the compressor is as described in the above embodiments. Since this compressor adopts all the technical solutions of all the above embodiments, it has at least all the beneficial effects brought about by the technical solutions of the above embodiments, which will not be described in detail here.

The specific structure of the refrigeration device is as described in the above embodiments. Since this refrigeration device adopts all the technical solutions of all the above embodiments, it has at least all the beneficial effects brought about by the technical solutions of the above embodiments, which will not be described in detail here.

[0065] In one specific embodiment, the refrigeration equipment includes an air conditioner.

[0066] By setting the stator 100, the air conditioner enables the plurality of stator units 10 of the motor to maintain installation accuracy before and after assembly, ensuring minimum gaps between internal components of the motor, reducing unnecessary energy loss, reducing the impact on the overall energy efficiency ratio (EER) of the air conditioning system, and making the air conditioner operate more energy-efficiently.
