Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to traction machine technology, and in particular to a permanent magnet synchronous traction machine that utilizes the traction wheel for heat dissipation. Background Technology
[0002] Most existing permanent magnet synchronous traction machines for elevators use natural cooling, which relies on convection heat dissipation through contact between the traction machine casing surface and the air. This inevitably leads to poor heat dissipation, making it difficult to dissipate internal heat. This results in high stator and rotor temperatures, which in turn affect the efficiency, service life, and safety of the permanent magnet synchronous traction machine. To ensure the normal operation of the permanent magnet synchronous traction machine, its design must consider a sufficiently large heat dissipation surface area and a sufficiently large volume. Therefore, the design typically results in a relatively low heat load, a relatively large size, more material consumption, and higher costs. To address this issue, the following technical measures are proposed:
[0003] 1. Forced cooling is achieved by using an external electric fan, but this solution has drawbacks: both the fan control circuit and the fan itself are prone to failure, and a protection circuit is required to prevent fan failure. Therefore, it is rarely used.
[0004] 2. Add ventilation holes to the outer casing of the traction machine and install fan blades inside the rotor. When the rotor rotates, cold air is drawn in and hot air is discharged. The drawback of this solution is that when the rotor is running, external dust can easily enter the permanent magnet synchronous traction machine.
[0005] 3. Chinese patent CN202410250359.8 describes a traction machine with a heat dissipation structure. The design integrates the traction wheel and rotor. The traction wheel consists of spokes, a fixed sleeve, and rope grooves. The spokes are flat plates with internal fan blades and ventilation holes. When the rotor rotates, the fan blades on the plate agitate the air to cool the stator. This design has a certain cooling effect on permanent magnet synchronous traction machines, but it also has the following shortcomings:
[0006] ① The blades are perpendicular to the spoke plate, which limits the axial thrust on the air and the resulting air volume and efficiency.
[0007] ② The plate has ventilation holes, which can easily allow dust and impurities to enter the permanent magnet synchronous traction machine, causing it to malfunction.
[0008] ③ The rotor is suspended and supported on the base, which is only suitable for external rotor structures and cannot be used for internal rotor structures;
[0009] ④ The traction sheave and rotor are designed as one unit. When the traction sheave wears out, both the traction sheave and the rotor must be replaced at the same time, rather than replacing the traction sheave alone. This is because the maintenance cost is high and the maintenance workload is large. Utility Model Content
[0010] The purpose of this invention is to provide a traction machine that utilizes the traction sheave for heat dissipation, has good heat dissipation performance, is easy to replace the traction sheave, and can efficiently cool the permanent magnet synchronous traction machine without allowing dust to enter the traction machine.
[0011] This utility model of a traction machine utilizing a traction sheave for heat dissipation is implemented as follows: It includes a permanent magnet synchronous traction machine housing, a stator and rotor housed within the housing, a rotating shaft rotatably housed within the housing, and a traction sheave fixed to the shaft extending out of the housing. The traction sheave is characterized by a support sleeve, an outer ring with rope grooves on its outer surface, and several fan blades. The fan blades are evenly distributed around the axis of the rotating shaft and connected between the support sleeve and the outer ring. The angle between the fan blades and the axis of the rotating shaft is acute. Several heat dissipation fins are provided on the end face of the permanent magnet synchronous traction machine housing facing the traction sheave. A gap is provided between the traction sheave and the end face of the permanent magnet synchronous traction machine housing facing the traction sheave. The gaps between the fan blades, the heat dissipation fins, and the end face of the traction sheave and the end face of the permanent magnet synchronous traction machine housing facing the traction sheave form ventilation channels.
[0012] During operation, the rotor drives the shaft and traction sheave to rotate. As the traction sheave rotates, because the angle between the fan blades and the shaft axis is acute, when rotating counterclockwise, the air between the fan blades is axially pushed towards the end face of the permanent magnet synchronous traction machine casing facing the traction sheave. When the cold air encounters the end face of the permanent magnet synchronous traction machine casing facing the traction sheave and the heat dissipation fins, it changes direction and moves radially, and is discharged through the gap between the traction sheave and the end face of the permanent magnet synchronous traction machine casing facing the traction sheave. When the traction sheave rotates clockwise, the air between the fan blades is axially pushed towards the opposite direction of the end face of the permanent magnet synchronous traction machine casing facing the traction sheave. A negative pressure is formed between the traction sheave and the end face of the permanent magnet synchronous traction machine casing facing the traction sheave, and cold air flows in from the gap between the traction sheave and the end face of the permanent magnet synchronous traction machine casing facing the traction sheave, and is discharged from the traction sheave through the gap between the fan blades.
[0013] When the permanent magnet synchronous traction machine is working, the heat generated by the stator will be conducted to the permanent magnet synchronous traction machine housing. Whether the traction wheel rotates clockwise or counterclockwise, the fast-flowing cold air will encounter the heat dissipation fins on the end face of the permanent magnet synchronous traction machine housing facing the traction wheel, which will reduce the temperature of the heat dissipation fins and thus reduce the temperature of the stator.
[0014] Because the stator and rotor of the permanent magnet synchronous traction machine are completely surrounded by the permanent magnet synchronous traction machine housing, external dust cannot enter the interior of the traction machine, which can further improve the working reliability of the traction machine. It also has a high level of water resistance and is splash-proof. On the other hand, the traction sheave is installed on the shaft that extends out of the permanent magnet synchronous traction machine housing, making it easy to replace and disassemble when the traction sheave is worn. Moreover, it has a simple structure, small size, and low manufacturing cost.
[0015] Preferably, the heat dissipation fins on the end face of the permanent magnet synchronous traction machine housing facing the traction wheel are arranged in a radial pattern. This increases the heat dissipation area of the permanent magnet synchronous traction machine housing, and the space between the heat dissipation fins forms a ventilation channel that can quickly exhaust or draw in the air, thereby improving the cooling effect of the cooling air. In addition, it can increase the strength of the permanent magnet synchronous traction machine housing and improve mechanical reliability.
[0016] Preferably, the stator is fixed to a fixing member inside the permanent magnet synchronous traction machine housing, and the fixing member is connected to the end face of the permanent magnet synchronous traction machine housing facing the traction sheave as a whole. When the permanent magnet synchronous traction machine is working, the heat generated by the stator can be directly conducted to the end face of the permanent magnet synchronous traction machine housing facing the traction sheave through the fixing member, and then carried away by the cooling air blown by the fan blades on the traction sheave, thereby ensuring the heat dissipation efficiency.
[0017] Compared with existing technologies, this invention has the advantages of good heat dissipation performance, convenient replacement of traction sheave, and efficient cooling of permanent magnet synchronous traction machine without dust entering the traction machine.
