[0002] Motors are widely used in automobiles, such as fans and water pumps in cooling systems, which need to run stably during automobile driving to support the normal operation of related automobile systems. Currently, the widely used traditional radial flux motor has mature technology and principle, but its power density is limited, which restricts the further reduction of motor size and weight, causing inconvenience in automobile system arrangement. The disc type motor, also known as axial flux motor, has a different operating principle from the traditional radial field motor, which allows for higher power density and further reduction in motor size. Moreover, its overall structure is flat, making it more flexible in arrangement.

Each magnetic conductive block is inserted into the slot along the radial direction and is limited in the axial direction by the back plate. Limiting grooves are formed between adjacent magnetic conductive blocks. Each permanent magnet assembly is inserted into the limiting groove along the radial direction, so that the magnetic conductive block presses the corresponding permanent magnet assembly on the back plate along the axial direction. This device cannot solve the above technical problems.

BMC forms the main structure of the bearing and motor, reducing the number of motor parts and processing steps, and lowering manufacturing costs. The overall structure of this device is flat, providing more flexibility in the layout of the application. Attached Figure Description

[0049] This application adopts a disc motor dual rotor structure, which makes full use of space and has a greater power density; the stator assembly 1 is located between the first rotor assembly and the second rotor assembly; it can make full use of the magnetic field generated by the stator assembly 1 and effectively improve the power density; on the other hand, the axial magnetic pull of the two rotor assemblies cancels each other out, avoiding the stator assembly 1 from bearing unilateral magnetic pull.
[0050] Stator bracket 2 is a BMC bracket; the stator core structure is injection molded and connected in stator bracket 2; BMC (Bulk Molding Compound) is a bulk molding compound. As a thermosetting composite material, BMC is composed of unsaturated polyester resin, chopped glass fiber, filler, curing agent, thickener and other components. It has good molding performance, high mechanical strength, excellent electrical insulation, chemical corrosion resistance and good dimensional stability. Stator bracket 2 completely encapsulates the stator core structure, which can effectively protect the stator core structure from external pollution and corrosion, and has better reliability. BMC encapsulation improves the heat dissipation of the stator core structure, which can dissipate the heat of the stator core structure in a timely manner and obtain better heat dissipation effect.
[0051] like Figures 2-5 As shown, the stator core structure includes a core 3 and an insulating frame 4; the insulating frame 4 includes an insulating frame 401 and a mounting plate 402; the core 3 is disposed in the insulating frame 401; and the insulating frame 401 is provided with a winding 5.
[0052] The core 3 adopts a segmented structure, and the core 3 is made of silicon steel sheets or cold-rolled steel sheets of different widths stacked together; the sheets are connected together by snap-fit points or adhesive to form a single stator core 3; the insulating frame 4 is injection molded from insulating resin material, and two insulating frames 4 wrap one segment of core 3 to insulate and isolate it from the winding 5; the lamination width of the core 3 varies according to the shape and size of the core 3; this application adopts a concentrated winding 5, that is, the coil pitch is 1, and each coil is wound on one segment of core 3; when the stator assembly 1 is manufactured, the three segments of the wound core are assembled into a complete stator core, and BMC injection molding is performed in the mold. After the BMC is cured, the stator core 3 and the winding 5 are sealed inside to form the stator assembly 1.

The internal circuit of the PCB control board 6 connects each coil into Y / ▲ and the required parallel branches. When current is applied to the stator assembly 1, a magnetic field is generated. The magnetic field flow path is: starting from the iron core 3 → air gap → one side magnet → air gap → iron core 3 → the other side air gap → the other side magnet → air gap → iron core 3. The magnetic field flow path generated by the rotor magnet is the same as the path of the stator iron core 3. By detecting the back EMF phase or the winding flux linkage and other sensorless control methods, the controller detects the rotor position and controls the stator current phase, so that the stator and rotor magnetic fields maintain a certain relative positional relationship in space, and torque is generated under the interaction of the stator and rotor magnetic fields.
