Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of permanent magnet synchronous motor technology, and in particular to a surface-mounted external rotor permanent magnet synchronous motor and its drive motor assembly. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, in surface-mounted external rotor permanent magnet synchronous motors, the permanent magnets are mostly fixed to the rotor core using adhesive, such as... Figure 1 As shown. However, for motors mounted in automobiles, the more complex application scenarios and stringent mechanical requirements increase the risk of adhesive aging and permanent magnet detachment. Furthermore, the positioning accuracy of the permanent magnets in permanent magnet synchronous motors with this structure is difficult to guarantee during production.

[0003] Therefore, there is an urgent need for a new surface-mounted external rotor permanent magnet synchronous motor and drive motor assembly. Utility Model Content

[0004] In view of the shortcomings of the prior art, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a surface-mounted external rotor permanent magnet synchronous motor and drive motor assembly. The surface-mounted external rotor permanent magnet synchronous motor sets a permanent magnet slot with a large-diameter bottom surface and a small-diameter opening, and restricts the included angle of the permanent magnet, so that the permanent magnet can be locked in the permanent magnet slot, thereby restricting the circumferential degree of freedom of the permanent magnet and reducing the influence of the aging of the adhesive on the circumferential movement of the permanent magnet in the related technology.

[0005] This utility model discloses a surface-mounted external rotor permanent magnet synchronous motor, comprising:

[0006] The rotor core has permanent magnet slots;

[0007] A permanent magnet is arranged in the permanent magnet slot, and its outline matches the outline of the permanent magnet slot.

[0008] The bottom end of the permanent magnet slot faces the outer edge of the rotor core, the opening end of the permanent magnet slot faces the air gap, the bottom end is the large diameter end, the opening end is the small diameter end, and the large diameter end face of the permanent magnet is close to the bottom end of the permanent magnet slot to restrict the degree of freedom of the permanent magnet in the circumferential direction.

[0009] Furthermore, the cross-section of the permanent magnet groove and the cross-section of the permanent magnet are both fan-shaped.

[0010] Furthermore, the included angle between the large-diameter end face of the permanent magnet and the sidewall is α, where α ≤ 90°.

[0011] Furthermore, the angle formed between the bottom end of the permanent magnet groove and the side wall of the permanent magnet groove is β, where β = α.

[0012] Furthermore, β ≥ 60°.

[0013] Furthermore, the connection between the opening of the permanent magnet groove and the sidewall is rounded.

[0014] Furthermore, there is a first accommodating gap between the permanent magnet and the permanent magnet groove. The first accommodating gap is continuous and is an open cavity structure without a medium, so as to allow the introduction of external cooling medium.

[0015] Furthermore, a second accommodating gap is provided between the permanent magnet and the permanent magnet groove, and the second accommodating gap is filled with adhesive.

[0016] Furthermore, the depth of the permanent magnet groove is d, where d ≥ 0.8 mm.

[0017] This utility model embodiment also discloses a drive motor assembly, including the surface-mounted external rotor permanent magnet synchronous motor as described above.

[0018] The surface-mounted external rotor permanent magnet synchronous motor and drive motor assembly provided by this utility model have the following beneficial effects, including but not limited to:

[0019] 1) This permanent magnet synchronous motor uses a permanent magnet slot with a large-diameter bottom surface and a small-diameter opening, and restricts the included angle of the permanent magnet, so that the permanent magnet can be locked in the permanent magnet slot. This restricts the circumferential degree of freedom of the permanent magnet and reduces the impact of aging of the adhesive on the circumferential movement of the permanent magnet in related technologies. In addition, the stamped permanent magnet slot has a more regular slot shape, which can ensure the fitting accuracy between the permanent magnet and the slot, reduce assembly errors, and improve the overall stability and reliability of the motor.

[0020] 2) The surface-mounted external rotor permanent magnet synchronous motor is designed with a first accommodating gap that is continuously through, making it suitable for oil-cooled motors. This allows the cooling medium (e.g., oil) to flow into the first accommodating gap to directly cool the permanent magnets, reducing the loss of the permanent magnets and thus reducing the cost of the permanent magnets.

[0021] 3) The surface-mounted external rotor permanent magnet synchronous motor can further fix the permanent magnet and improve its stability by setting a second receiving gap filled with adhesive. Attached Figure Description

[0029] The following specific examples illustrate the implementation of this utility model. Those skilled in the art can easily understand other advantages and effects of this utility model from the content disclosed in this specification. This utility model can also be implemented or applied through other different specific embodiments, and various details in this specification can also be modified or changed based on different viewpoints and applications without departing from the spirit of this utility model. It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the following embodiments and features described therein can be combined with each other.

[0030] It should be noted that the illustrations provided in the following embodiments are only schematic representations of the basic concept of the present invention. Therefore, the illustrations only show the components related to the present invention and are not drawn according to the number, shape and size of the components in actual implementation. In actual implementation, the form, quantity and proportion of each component can be arbitrarily changed, and the layout of the components may also be more complex.

[0031] Please refer to Figures 2-3 , Figure 2 A schematic diagram of the structure of the surface-mounted external rotor permanent magnet synchronous motor 100 provided in this embodiment of the utility model; Figure 3 for Figure 2Enlarged schematic diagram at point I. This utility model provides a surface-mounted external rotor permanent magnet synchronous motor 100, including a rotor core 10 and a permanent magnet 11. The rotor core 10 has a permanent magnet slot 101; the permanent magnet 11 is arranged in the permanent magnet slot 101, and its outline matches the outline of the permanent magnet slot 101; wherein, the bottom end of the permanent magnet slot 101 faces the outer edge of the rotor core 10, the opening end of the permanent magnet slot 101 faces the air gap, the bottom end is the large diameter end, the opening end is the small diameter end, and the large diameter end face of the permanent magnet 11 is close to the bottom end of the permanent magnet slot 101 to restrict the circumferential degree of freedom of the permanent magnet 11.

[0032] It is worth noting that this permanent magnet synchronous motor, by setting a permanent magnet slot 101 with a large-diameter bottom surface and a small-diameter opening, and restricting the included angle of the permanent magnet 11, can secure the permanent magnet 11 within the slot 101. This restricts the circumferential freedom of the permanent magnet 11, reducing the impact of adhesive aging on circumferential movement of the permanent magnet 11 in related technologies. In other words, the permanent magnet slot 101 can accurately and conveniently indicate the position of the permanent magnet 11, and also strengthen the fixation of the permanent magnet 11, preventing circumferential movement and avoiding any impact on motor performance. Furthermore, the permanent magnet slot in this embodiment can be formed by stamping. Stamped permanent magnet slots 101 have a more regular shape, ensuring the fitting accuracy between the permanent magnet 11 and the slot, reducing assembly errors, and improving the overall stability and reliability of the motor.

[0033] In this embodiment, the cross-section of the permanent magnet groove 101 and the cross-section of the permanent magnet 11 are both fan-shaped.

[0034] It is worth noting that both the permanent magnet groove 101 and the permanent magnet 11 have a fan-shaped cross-section, which ensures a high degree of shape matching between them, improving assembly accuracy and reducing the impact of machining errors. Furthermore, stamping to form a fan-shaped groove is relatively easy and has low manufacturing costs, while also facilitating mass production and improving production efficiency. Depending on the specific implementation environment, it can also be trapezoidal or other shapes. This embodiment is merely an example of a specific structural type and does not constitute a limitation.

[0035] In this embodiment, the included angle between the large-diameter end face of the permanent magnet 11 and the side wall is α, where α ≤ 90°.

[0036] In this embodiment, the included angle between the bottom end of the permanent magnet groove 101 and the side wall of the permanent magnet groove 101 is β, where β = α.

[0037] Understandably, when the angle β between the bottom end of the permanent magnet slot 101 and the sidewall of the permanent magnet slot 101 is equal to the angle α between the large-diameter end face of the permanent magnet 11 and the sidewall, the large-diameter end face of the permanent magnet 11 can fit more tightly against the bottom of the slot, allowing it to be better positioned in both the circumferential and radial directions, thus avoiding displacement or loosening caused by vibration or electromagnetic force during operation. Simultaneously, this dimensional design allows the permanent magnet 11 to be more accurately embedded in the slot, reducing machining and assembly errors, improving the consistency of motor manufacturing, and ensuring stable motor performance.

[0038] Optionally, β ≥ 60°.

[0039] Specifically, if β is too small, the bottom and shoulder of the permanent magnet slot 101 will become too sharp, which can easily lead to stress concentration and increase the risk of material fatigue, cracking, or damage to the slot bottom and shoulder during long-term operation. However, β ≥ 60° allows the slot bottom and shoulder to have a more reasonable thickness, improving mechanical strength and enhancing the durability and stability of the motor.

[0040] In this embodiment, the connection between the opening of the permanent magnet groove 101 and the sidewall is rounded.

[0041] It is worth noting that designs using right angles or sharp transitions are prone to stress concentration under load, especially during high-speed motor operation and prolonged use, which may lead to fatigue, cracking, or damage to the slot wall material. Rounded corner transitions, on the other hand, can effectively disperse stress, improve the mechanical strength of the slot wall, and extend the motor's service life. Furthermore, rounded corner transitions can reduce friction and stress during installation, improve the assembly accuracy of the permanent magnet 11, and prevent loosening or detachment due to assembly errors.

[0042] Please refer to Figure 4 In one embodiment of this invention, there is a first accommodating gap (not marked in the figure) between the permanent magnet 11 and the permanent magnet groove 101. The first accommodating gap is continuous and is an open cavity structure without filling medium, so as to allow the cooling medium from the outside to pass through.

[0043] It should be noted that this structural configuration makes the permanent magnet synchronous motor suitable for oil cooling, allowing the cooling medium (e.g., oil) to flow into the first accommodating gap to directly cool the permanent magnet 11, reducing the loss of the permanent magnet 11 and achieving cost reduction of the permanent magnet 11.

[0044] Please refer to Figure 5 In another embodiment of this invention, a second receiving gap is provided between the permanent magnet 11 and the permanent magnet groove 101, and the second receiving gap is filled with adhesive.

[0045] It should be noted that this structural design can further fix the permanent magnet 11 and improve its stability after fixation.

[0046] In this embodiment, a stator core 12 is also included, which is located near the opening end of the permanent magnet slot 101.

[0047] Optionally, the depth of the permanent magnet groove 101 is d, where d ≥ 0.8 mm.

[0048] Specifically, the depth of the permanent magnet slot 101 should not be too small (less than 0.8mm), as this will cause the permanent magnet to be placed unstable, affecting the performance of the permanent magnet synchronous motor. At the same time, the slot depth should not be too large, as this will weaken the effective material thickness of the rotor core 10, reducing its mechanical strength and making it prone to deformation, breakage, or damage during high-speed rotation or under stress. Limiting its depth ensures that the rotor core 10 has sufficient rigidity and strength, improving the reliability and service life of the motor. It also has the advantages of optimizing the magnetic circuit, improving heat dissipation performance, and reducing processing difficulty.

[0049] This utility model also provides a drive motor assembly, including the surface-mounted external rotor permanent magnet synchronous motor 100 as described above, which has all its beneficial effects.
