Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of squirrel cage rotor technology, specifically a high-torque double squirrel cage rotor structure. Background Technology
[0002] A squirrel-cage motor is a type of three-phase asynchronous motor. The squirrel-cage rotor is the rotating part of the squirrel-cage motor. Generally, copper or aluminum rotor coils are cast in slots in the cage shape on the rotor core. This coil is a closed loop that is not connected to other parts, and its main function is to suppress stator current.
[0003] In addition to thermal stress, electromagnetic force, and centrifugal force, welded cage windings also bear the bending moment generated by the tangential stress produced during motor acceleration or braking at the portion of the conductor bars extending from the slots. Uneven heating in different parts of the cage winding causes thermal stress that can lead to cracks or even breakage of the conductor bars. Electromagnetic force will cause the conductor bars to vibrate within the slots, resulting in fatigue failure. Utility Model Content
