However, these exemplary embodiments can be implemented in many forms and should not be construed as limited to the embodiments set forth herein; rather, they are provided so that the invention will be thorough and complete, and will fully convey the concept of the exemplary embodiments to those skilled in the art.

Therefore, "A, B, or C" or "A, B, and / or C" means "any one of the following: A; B; C; A and B; A and C; B and C; A, B, and C." Exceptions to this definition only arise when a combination of elements, functions, steps, or operations is inherently mutually exclusive in some way.
[0031] To address the problems in the prior art, this utility model provides an electric motor, comprising: a stator, including a stator core, the stator core including a plurality of stacked stator laminations, each stator lamination including a stator yoke and stator teeth circumferentially arranged along the inner circle of the stator yoke, with stator slots formed between adjacent stator teeth; and a rotor, including a rotor core and a plurality of permanent magnets, the rotor core having a plurality of magnet slots, the permanent magnets being disposed in the magnet slots; the number of stator slots is Q, the outer diameter of the stator laminations is D, the shortest width of the stator teeth is Wt, the cross-sectional area of the permanent magnet perpendicular to the motor axis is S, the saturation magnetic density of the stator laminations is Bm, and the remanence of the permanent magnet is Br. The relationships 30 ≤ K = Q * Wt * D * Bm / (S * Br) ≤ 140 are satisfied. This technical solution uses an evaluation coefficient K to define parameters related to motor efficiency. The evaluation coefficient K can limit the minimum amount of permanent magnets used to ensure motor efficiency, and can also limit the maximum amount of permanent magnets used to ensure the material utilization rate of rare earth materials, thereby reducing motor costs. Motors that meet the value range of the evaluation coefficient K can achieve both high efficiency and low cost.
[0032] The motor of this utility model will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that the specific embodiments are not intended to limit the scope of protection of this utility model.
[0033] Figure 1 A schematic diagram of the end face of a motor according to an embodiment of the present invention is shown. Figure 1 As shown, the motor includes a stator and a rotor. The stator includes a stator core, which includes multiple stacked stator laminations. Each stator lamination includes a stator yoke 10 and stator teeth 20 arranged circumferentially along the inner circumference of the stator yoke 10. A stator slot 21 is formed between two adjacent stator teeth 20. The rotor includes a rotor core and multiple permanent magnets 30. The rotor core is provided with multiple magnet slots, and the permanent magnets 30 are disposed in the magnet slots.
[0034] The number of stator slots 21 is Q, the outer diameter of the stator lamination is D, the shortest width of the stator tooth 20 is Wt, the cross-sectional area of the permanent magnet 30 perpendicular to the motor axis is S, the saturation magnetic density of the stator lamination is Bm, and the remanence of the permanent magnet 30 is Br, satisfying the relationship: 30≤Q*Wt*D*Bm / (S*Br)≤140.
[0035] Furthermore, in some embodiments, the number of stator slots is Q, and the number of rotor poles is P, wherein Q and P satisfy Q / P = 3:2. In this embodiment, the motor is a 10-pole, 15-slot motor. In another embodiment, the motor can also be an 8-pole, 12-slot motor, a 6-pole, 9-slot motor, or a 12-pole, 18-slot motor. Those skilled in the art can set the number of stator slots 21 and the number of rotor poles according to actual needs.
[0036] Furthermore, in some embodiments, the stator lamination 100 is made of silicon steel. Silicon steel lamination has low iron loss, high stacking factor, good magnetic induction intensity, and good lamination performance, thereby ensuring good working performance of the stator lamination; silicon steel lamination can reduce eddy current loss and hysteresis loss, thereby reducing core heating, and the silicon steel lamination is insulated from each other, which can reduce the current flow area and further reduce heating.
[0037] Furthermore, the saturation magnetic density Bm of the silicon steel sheet satisfies: 1.7T ≤ Bm ≤ 2.5T. Exemplary Bm values can be 1.8T, 1.9T, 2.0T, 2.1T, 2.2T, 2.3T, and 2.4T. An increase in the magnetic saturation density Bm indicates that the silicon steel sheet of the motor is less likely to reach saturation, allowing for the use of more permanent magnets to improve motor efficiency with the same amount of silicon steel sheet. In a preferred embodiment, to improve motor efficiency and reduce motor cost, the magnetic saturation density Bm can satisfy: 1.8T ≤ Bm ≤ 2.0T.
[0038] Furthermore, in some embodiments, the remanence Br of the permanent magnet 30 satisfies 1.25T ≤ Br ≤ 1.6T. For example, Br can be 1.3T, 1.35T, 1.4T, 1.45T, 1.5T, and 1.55T. The cross-sectional area S of the permanent magnet 30 perpendicular to the motor axis satisfies: 100mm². 2 ≤S≤280mm 2 For example, S can be 110 mm. 2 130mm 2 150mm 2 170mm 2 190mm 2 210mm 2 230mm 2 250mm 2 270mm 2 Increasing Br and S provides more magnetomotive force to each stator tooth 20 of the motor, correspondingly increasing the motor's flux linkage. However, excessively high magnetomotive force can cause the magnetic field density of the silicon steel sheet to saturate, leading to a sharp increase in magnetic reluctance, a slowdown in the increase of flux linkage, and a sharp increase in the motor's iron losses. At this point, further increasing Br and S cannot improve motor efficiency and will increase motor costs. However, excessively low Br and S will reduce motor efficiency. To improve motor efficiency and reduce motor costs, in a preferred embodiment, Br satisfies 1.39T ≤ Br ≤ 1.5T.
[0039] Furthermore, in some embodiments, the diameter D of the stator lamination satisfies: 80mm ≤ D ≤ 120mm. For example, D can be 85mm, 90mm, 95mm, 100mm, 105mm, 110mm, or 115mm. Limiting the diameter D of the motor's stator core restricts the range of magnetic flux linkage through the stator core. The outer diameter of the stator lamination is related to the length of the stator magnetic circuit. Increasing the outer diameter of the stator lamination increases motor leakage flux, weakens the magnetic flux linkage, and increases the motor's magnetic reluctance, ultimately affecting the motor's output power. This ensures that the stator provides higher performance and guarantees higher motor efficiency within a suitable magnetic field density range.
[0040] Furthermore, the minimum width of the stator tooth 20 on the side near the stator yoke 10 is Wt, satisfying 3mm ≤ Wt ≤ 10mm. For example, Wt can be 4mm, 4.5mm, 5mm, 5.5mm, 6mm, 6.5mm, 7mm, 7.5mm, 8mm, 8.5mm, 9mm, or 9.5mm. Q*Wt represents the total width of the stator tooth 20. The magnetic flux provided by the permanent magnet 30 passes entirely through the stator tooth 20, limiting the total tooth width range so that the magnetic field density of the stator tooth 20 is within a suitable range, providing high performance and ensuring high motor efficiency.
[0041] Furthermore, the design parameters of three 10-pole 15-slot motors are shown below, and the efficiency of the three 10-pole 15-slot motors under the same operating conditions is investigated. Table 1 shows the three motor design schemes with different K values, and Table 2 compares the motor efficiency of the three schemes in Table 1 under the same operating conditions.
[0042]
[0043] As shown in Table 1, different values were assigned to the stator lamination diameter D, the minimum width Wt of the stator tooth 20 near the stator yoke 10, the cross-sectional area S of the permanent magnet 30, the saturation magnetic density Bm of the silicon steel sheet, and the remanence Br of the permanent magnet 30 in the three motor design schemes. The evaluation coefficient of Scheme 1 was 25.06, which is lower than the minimum value of the evaluation coefficient K range; the evaluation coefficient of Scheme 2 was 58.47, which is within the evaluation coefficient K range; and the evaluation coefficient of Scheme 3 was 143.73, which is higher than the maximum value of the evaluation coefficient K range.
[0044]
[0045] Furthermore, referring to Table 2, under operating condition 1 (1260 rpm / 1.04 Nm), the motor in Scheme 1 has the best efficiency, followed by the motor in Scheme 2, and lastly the motor in Scheme 3; under operating condition 2 (5100 rpm / 2.0 Nm), the motor in Scheme 2 has the best efficiency, followed by the motor in Scheme 1, and lastly the motor in Scheme 3.
[0046] Combining Tables 1 and 2, the motor in Scheme 1 has the best efficiency under operating condition 1. However, its evaluation coefficient K is lower than the minimum value within the specified range, and the amount of permanent magnets used in Scheme 1 is 1.43 times that of Scheme 2 (obtained from the cross-sectional area ratio of the permanent magnets). Furthermore, the operating efficiencies of the motors in Scheme 1 and Scheme 2 are quite similar under operating condition 1. Therefore, compared to the motor in Scheme 2, the utilization rate of permanent magnets in Scheme 1 is lower, which is equivalent to increasing the cost of the motor. Scheme 3 has the lowest amount of permanent magnets, 0.73 times that of the motor in Scheme 2. However, the motor efficiency of Scheme 3 is significantly lower than that of the motor in Scheme 2 under both operating conditions.
[0047] Therefore, Scheme 1 has better motor efficiency, but uses more permanent magnets, resulting in lower permanent magnet utilization and higher cost compared to Scheme 2. Scheme 3 uses the fewest permanent magnets, but its motor efficiency is lower than the other two schemes. Therefore, Scheme 2, which falls within the K coefficient range, combines the advantages of high motor efficiency and low cost.
[0048] Therefore, by forming an evaluation coefficient K from the parameters related to motor efficiency, the evaluation coefficient K can limit the minimum amount of permanent magnets to ensure motor efficiency, and limit the maximum amount of permanent magnets to ensure the material utilization rate of rare earth materials, thereby reducing motor costs; motors that meet the value range of the evaluation coefficient K have the advantages of both high efficiency and low cost.
[0049] This utility model embodiment also provides a compressor, including the motor described above. Since the compressor includes the aforementioned motor, it achieves all the technical effects of the motor described above, which will not be repeated here.
[0050] This utility model embodiment also provides a refrigeration device, including the compressor described above. This refrigeration device can include the compressor described above, and therefore can achieve all the technical effects of the above compression, which will not be elaborated further here.
[0051] In summary, the motor, compressor, and refrigeration equipment provided by this utility model have the following advantages:
[0052] By forming an evaluation coefficient K from parameters related to motor efficiency, a motor that meets the value range of evaluation coefficient K can achieve both high efficiency and low cost.
[0053] The above description, in conjunction with specific preferred embodiments, provides a further detailed explanation of the present invention. It should not be construed that the specific implementation of the present invention is limited to these descriptions. For those skilled in the art, various simple deductions or substitutions can be made without departing from the concept of the present invention, and all such modifications and substitutions should be considered within the protection scope of the present invention.
