Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of motor technology, specifically to an external rotor dynamic balance wind turbine motor. Background Technology

[0002] An external rotor motor is a special type of electric motor in which the rotor and stator are in the opposite positions to those of a conventional motor: the rotor is located outside the motor and encloses the internal stator.

[0003] Because the rotor of an external rotor motor is located externally and directly drives the load, the following problems may occur after long-term operation:

[0004] Mechanical wear: Bearing wear, loosening of rotor permanent magnets or fixing components disrupt the initial balance. Load changes: Such as dust accumulation on fan blades or wear on wheel hubs and tires, leading to a shift in mass distribution. Material fatigue: Rotor structure deformation under high-speed rotation.

[0005] Uneven rotor mass distribution leads to vibration. Imbalance can cause severe vibration and noise, accelerate damage to bearings and windings, and even affect equipment accuracy or safety.

[0006] Traditional dynamic balancing methods:

[0007] 1. Trial weight method (empirical counterweight): By repeatedly adding counterweights (such as lead blocks or screws) and observing the changes in vibration, the balance is gradually adjusted. This method is time-consuming, relies on experience, has low accuracy, and may introduce new imbalances.

[0008] 2. Mechanical balancing machine: This type of machine uses a mechanical pendulum or rollers to support the rotor. The imbalance position is determined by the pointer deflection, and the counterweight is manually added or removed. It is only suitable for low speeds (<1000 rpm), and the manual reading error is large, making it unable to handle complex vibration modes.

[0009] Weight reduction method (drilling / milling): Drilling or milling the material at the unbalanced location on the rotor housing to reduce uneven mass distribution. This method can easily damage the rotor housing structure and weaken the material strength. Utility Model Content

[0016] In some embodiments, the composite anti-slip texture consists of a micron-level interlaced grid pattern and a nano-level radial groove.

[0017] In some embodiments, the composite anti-slip texture has a micron-level interlaced grid pattern depth of 30 to 50 microns, a nanon-level radial groove width of 15 to 25 nanometers, and an angle of 10 to 20 degrees between the groove direction and the rotational tangent of the axis.

[0042] Reference Figures 1-6An external rotor dynamically balanced wind turbine motor includes a motor body, which comprises a stator assembly 1, a rotor assembly 2, a bearing assembly 3, and a rotating shaft 4. The rotor assembly 2 includes a rotor housing 5 fixedly connected to the rotating shaft 4. A wind turbine 7 is mounted on the first end of the rotating shaft 4 via a fastening assembly 6, and the second end is rotatably connected to the bearing assembly 3. The rotating shaft 4 drives the rotor housing 5 and the wind turbine 7 to rotate synchronously. The fastening assembly 6 includes a washer 60 and a nut 61 sequentially sleeved on the first end of the rotating shaft 4. The nut 61 is threadedly connected to the rotating shaft 4. The end face of the washer 60 that contacts the wind turbine's central shaft 70 is provided with composite anti-slip texture 8. The wind turbine's central shaft 70 is a hollow shaft. A dynamic balancing ring 9 is coaxially mounted on the periphery of the rotor housing 5 for adjusting the mass distribution. This application changes the inertial force distribution of the rotor system by increasing or decreasing the mass of the dynamic balancing ring 9, such as by laser ablation, drilling, or cutting to reduce weight, or by adding counterweight particles to increase weight, so that the resultant centrifugal force and resultant torque approach zero. Because of the addition of the dynamic balancing ring 9, it is not necessary to directly drill holes or mill materials on the rotor housing 5 to reduce uneven mass distribution, thus avoiding easy damage to the structure of the rotor housing 5 and weakening of material strength. The composite anti-slip texture 8 can increase the static friction coefficient and suppress high-frequency micro-slippage. The threaded connection of the nut 61, together with the anti-slip texture of the washer 60, ensures stable axial preload and prevents the impeller 7 from loosening.

[0043] In some embodiments, the dynamic balancing ring 9 is provided with a regularly arranged array of balancing holes 90. The array of balancing holes 90 is a regular group structure of holes integrated on the dynamic balancing ring 9, and the mass distribution of the rotor system is adjusted by selectively filling with counterweight particles 91. The array of balancing holes 90 can be hexagonally closely arranged to maximize the hole density and improve the mass adjustment resolution; or it can be radially gradient distributed, with the outer hole diameter > the inner hole diameter to match the centrifugal force gradient; the hole diameter of the array of balancing holes 90 is 1 to 3 mm to adapt to different compensation levels; the hole spacing is 2 to 3 times the hole diameter to ensure structural strength; the holes are used to fill with counterweight particles 91, supporting independent filling of a single hole, with a minimum adjustment amount of 0.01 g.

[0044] In some embodiments, a graphene thermal pad 10 is provided between the rotor housing 5 and the dynamic balance ring 9. The graphene thermal pad 10 has a thickness of 0.1 to 0.3 mm, a thermal conductivity of not less than 1500 W / m Kelvin, and a high-temperature resistant insulating layer 11 coated on its surface, which may be polyimide-alumina or boron nitride nanosheet-silicone resin, etc. The graphene thermal pad 10 can quickly dissipate the heat from the rotor housing 5, reducing the temperature gradient between the dynamic balance ring 9 and the housing; and eliminates local hot spots (such as the temperature difference between the bearing area and the impeller area) through lateral heat diffusion.

[0045] In some embodiments, the dynamic balancing ring 9 is made of carbon fiber reinforced aluminum matrix composite material, which is a high-performance material made by combining carbon fiber with an aluminum alloy matrix; its density is 2.5 to 2.8 grams per cubic centimeter, its tensile strength is not less than 600 MPa, and the difference between its coefficient of thermal expansion and that of the rotor housing 5 does not exceed 1 x 10^-6 per Kelvin; it has the advantages of lightweight, high-strength support, optimized thermal stability, and extended fatigue life, and solves the problem of synergistic interaction between mass inertia, thermal deformation and structural reliability in high-speed motors.

[0046] In some embodiments, a mass sensor 12 is provided inside the dynamic balancing ring 9. The mass sensor 12 is a piezoelectric ceramic sheet that detects the local mass distribution in real time and feeds it back to the control system. The piezoelectric ceramic sheet detects the local mass distribution of the dynamic balancing ring 9 through strain signals with an accuracy of ±0.01g and a response time of <1ms. During high-speed rotation, the centrifugal force change is directly measured (resolution 0.1N at 30,000rpm), providing early warning of the risk of imbalance. The rotor vibration energy is used to generate electricity, eliminating the need for external power supply.

[0047] In some embodiments, the composite anti-slip texture 8 is composed of micron-level interlaced grid patterns and nano-level radial grooves; the depth of the micron-level interlaced grid patterns of the composite anti-slip texture 8 is 30 to 50 microns, which increases the static friction coefficient through mechanical interlocking and prevents the impeller from axially loosening; the width of the nano-level radial grooves is 15 to 25 nanometers, which uses surface capillary effect to adsorb lubricating film and suppress high-frequency micro-vibrations; and the angle between the groove direction and the rotational tangent of the shaft 4 is 10 to 20 degrees, thus disrupting the vibration wave transmission path.

[0048] In some embodiments, the bearing assembly 3 includes a hybrid ceramic bearing 30 and a magnetohydrodynamic sealing ring 31. A magnetohydrodynamic liquid film with a pressure resistance of 0.5 MPa blocks dust / oil intrusion and has a long service life. The balls 32 of the hybrid ceramic bearing 30 are made of silicon nitride, and the density of the silicon nitride balls 32 is only 40% of that of steel, reducing centrifugal load. A fiber Bragg grating sensor 34 is embedded in the bearing housing 33 to monitor rotor eccentricity. The counterweight particles 91 are made of tungsten alloy or polymer composite material. The balls 32 of the hybrid ceramic bearing 30 are made of silicon nitride, and the inner and outer rings are made of high-carbon chromium steel (such as GCr15) or ceramic (ZrO2 or Si3N4 all-ceramic bearing). The cage is made of polyetheretherketone or non-magnetic metal. The fiber Bragg grating sensor (FBG)... 34) The rotor eccentricity is indirectly assessed by monitoring the strain of the bearing housing 33. The annular groove embedded in the inner wall of the bearing housing 33 directly senses the deformation caused by the radial load. A symmetrical distribution of 90° or 120° can be used, for example, an array of 3 FBG sensors to eliminate single-point measurement errors and accurately locate the eccentricity direction.

[0049] The technical features of the above embodiments can be combined arbitrarily. For the sake of brevity, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above embodiments are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, they should be considered to be within the scope of this specification. Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, those skilled in the art will understand that various changes, modifications, substitutions and variations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention. The scope of the present invention is defined by the claims and their equivalents.
