Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The utility model relates to linear motor technical field especially relates to a air -cooled core linear motor. BACKGROUND

[0002] The core linear motor is a kind of linear motion device based on electromagnetic induction principle, input electrical energy is directly converted into linear motion equipment, with high power, high efficiency, high precision and other advantages.The core linear motor has primary and secondary.The secondary is mainly composed of yoke plate and permanent magnet, the magnetization direction of permanent magnet is perpendicular to the primary motion direction, permanent magnet is arranged along the primary motion direction N, S alternately and fixed on the secondary yoke plate.When the primary winding is input ac current, the traveling wave magnetic field is generated in the air gap, the secondary is cut under the traveling wave magnetic field, and the electromotive force is induced and current is generated, the current and the magnetic field in the air gap interact to generate electromagnetic thrust, so as to realize linear motion.

[0003] The output thrust of the core linear motor is closely related to the motor winding current, and the motor thrust is usually proportional to the winding current, the greater the output thrust of the motor, the greater the winding input current.According to Joule's law: Q=I 2 Rt, current flowing in conductor will produce heat, convert electrical energy into heat energy, if unable to effectively dissipate heat, will cause a series of problems: (1) with temperature rise, motor winding loss increases, motor efficiency decreases; (2) high temperature will also lead to the decline of motor thrust, because high temperature will weaken the magnetism of motor magnetic track magnetic steel, and further lead to the decline of motor thrust; (3) high temperature will accelerate the aging of motor winding insulation material, reduce insulation strength, increase the risk of breakdown; (4) winding will expand due to high temperature, so that the insulation between windings thins, thereby easily leading to partial discharge, winding short circuit and other faults; Winding continuous expansion due to heat may also cause the resin adhesive layer to bulge, causing friction or blocking between primary and secondary.

[0004] The existing core linear motor mostly does not have cooling device.If the core linear motor works continuously under the condition of high thrust, high speed and high acceleration, the temperature rise is extremely variable, and the heat dissipation problem is more prominent, the core linear motor without cooling device adopts natural cooling, which cannot effectively solve the temperature rise problem, and some problems such as reducing thrust or stopping work due to motor overheating often occur.Some adopt water cooling structure to solve the temperature rise problem, but the increase of water cooling unit will greatly increase the structure size and weight of motor, which is not conducive to the performance advantages of core linear motor such as high speed, high acceleration and high dynamic characteristics.

[0042] In some embodiments, the heat dissipation piece 2 comprises a adapter plate 21 arranged at the opening side of the motor body 11 and connected to the primary 1. The arrangement of the adapter plate 21 not only enables the heat generated by the operation of the primary 1 to be taken away by forced air cooling, but also connects the primary 1 to the stage of the motion shaft.

In this way, the gas after heat exchange is discharged along the first airflow channel 213.

[0044] Please refer to Figure 3 To avoid machining and installing holes on the iron core winding 12, the primary 1 further comprises a plurality of pressing strips 13 embedded in the iron core winding 12, and the adapter plate 21 is connected to the plurality of pressing strips 13 to realize stable connection of the adapter plate 21 and the primary 1.

[0049] In some embodiments, the adapter plate 21 and the heat dissipation side plate 22 are both made of aluminum alloy.

The cable of the fan 4 is connected to the communication connector 72 to supply power to the fan 4.

[0053] Please refer to Figure 11 , the fixing member 3 comprises a fixing base 31, a recess 32 provided in the fixing base 31, and at least one first through hole 33 connected with the recess 32.

When the air flow contacts the surface of the motor body 11, the air flow exchanges heat with the heat generated by the core winding 12. The air flow after heat exchange carries away the heat along the arrow direction through the first air flow channel 213 and the second air flow channel 222, thereby reducing the temperature of the core linear motor.
