Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of permanent magnet synchronous motors, and more specifically, to a stator and rotor structure for a permanent magnet synchronous motor. Background Technology

[0002] Permanent magnet motors are widely used in industrial drives and new energy vehicles due to their high power density and high efficiency. However, several key issues in the design of traditional permanent magnet motors still need to be addressed. Regarding stator structure design, existing technologies generally employ a single physical slot structure. Limited by the relationship between the number of stator slots and the number of rotor poles, the least common multiple is difficult to effectively increase. This deficiency results in a long cogging torque period and a large amplitude, causing significant torque pulsation during motor operation, leading to vibration and noise, and affecting system control accuracy. Although some improvement schemes attempt to mitigate this problem by increasing the actual number of stator slots, limitations in cogging space utilization and manufacturing processes often result in material waste or magnetic circuit saturation.

[0003] On the other hand, existing permanent magnet structural designs suffer from significant technical bottlenecks. Conventional permanent magnets often employ flat-top or asymmetrical curved surface structures, which easily lead to distortion of the air gap magnetic field distribution and the generation of high-order harmonic components. Particularly in the bonding process between the permanent magnet and the stator core surface, traditional designs lack effective modulation of the magnetic field waveform, resulting in poor sinusoidal air gap magnetic field characteristics. The resulting torque fluctuations severely restrict the motor's performance in high-precision control applications. Furthermore, asymmetrical magnetic pole structures can cause radial magnetic pull imbalance, further exacerbating mechanical vibration and affecting the service life of the bearing system. These inherent defects have become major technical obstacles hindering the development of permanent magnet motors towards higher stability and lower noise. Utility Model Content

[0026] The present application will now be described in detail with reference to specific embodiments. These embodiments will help those skilled in the art to further understand the present application, but do not limit the present application in any way. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make several modifications and improvements without departing from the concept of the present application, and these all fall within the protection scope of the present application. Parts not described in detail in the following embodiments can be implemented using existing technology.

[0027] Terminology Explanation:

[0028] Rotor: The integral structure consisting of the rotor yoke and permanent magnets;

[0029] Stator slot: The groove between adjacent stator teeth used to install windings.

[0030] Number of stator slots: The number of stator slots.

[0031] Number of poles: The permanent magnets have alternating N, N poles. The number of poles refers to the number of permanent magnets.

[0032] Cogging torque: Due to the presence of stator slots, the rotor tends to remain in certain specific positions when stationary. The magnitude of this force varies periodically with the relative positions of the stator and rotor, with an average value of 0, and does no external work.

[0033] Period: The period of cogging torque.

[0034] Amplitude: The magnitude of the cogging torque.

[0035] Virtual slots: These are auxiliary slots carved into the stator teeth, which are not used to install windings.

[0036] The operational smoothness of existing motors needs further improvement. Based on this need, this application provides a stator and rotor structure for a permanent magnet synchronous motor to meet the requirement of improving motor operational smoothness.

[0037] Reference Figure 1 As shown, a stator-rotor structure of a permanent magnet synchronous motor includes a rotor yoke 1, permanent magnets 7, and a stator core 3. The rotor yoke 1 has a ring-shaped structure. The permanent magnets 7 are evenly distributed around the inner wall of the rotor yoke 1.

[0038] The stator core 3 has a ring structure and is located inside the rotor yoke 1 and is concentric with it. The outer side wall of the stator core 3 is evenly distributed with outwardly protruding stator teeth 6, and the end of the stator teeth 6 is provided with at least one auxiliary slot 5. A stator slot is formed between adjacent stator teeth 6. The stator winding 2 is fixed in the stator slot in a one-to-one correspondence with the stator slot.

[0039] Specifically, under normal circumstances, when a permanent magnet 7 passes through one stator slot, the cogging torque fluctuates once. For every revolution of the permanent magnet motor rotor, the cogging torque fluctuates a total of NL times. N represents the number of stator slots, L represents the number of poles, and NL is the least common multiple of the number of poles and slots.

[0040] The cycle of one cogging torque fluctuation is 360 divided by NL. Generally, for motors of the same specifications, the larger NL is, the smaller the amplitude. Due to the existence of cogging torque, the motor rotor tends to stay in a fixed position, which affects the control accuracy of the motor. Secondly, cogging torque is a periodic torque fluctuation, which will cause additional torque fluctuations, and these fluctuations will generate noise, thus affecting the noise of the motor.

[0041] In the above embodiments of this application, auxiliary slots are provided to increase the number of virtual slots, effectively increasing the least common multiple of the number of slots (the number of slots here refers to the sum of virtual slots and stator slots) and the number of poles, effectively reducing the period of cogging torque, reducing the amplitude of cogging torque, and increasing the smoothness of motor operation.

[0042] In order to further improve the smoothness of motor operation, in some specific embodiments of this application, one surface of the permanent magnet 7 is in contact with the inner wall of the rotor yoke 1.

[0043] Specifically, such as Figure 3 As shown, the permanent magnet includes an upper arc surface and a lower arc surface with the same radius, and the upper and lower arc surfaces are symmetrical about the center line of the permanent magnet.

[0044] For example: the permanent magnets are uniformly distributed in the circumferential direction, the number of permanent magnets is 20, the radius of the upper and lower arc surfaces is 40mm, the inner diameter of the rotor yoke is 80mm, and the outer diameter is 82mm. The ratio of stator teeth to permanent magnets is 9:10, and there are 18 stator teeth.

[0045] The embodiments described above in this application, through a symmetrical arc surface design, ensure uniform air gap length, suppress edge effects, and optimize magnetic flux distribution, effectively reducing air gap magnetic field harmonics and enhancing the sinusoidal nature of the magnetic field. With a permanent magnet radius of 40mm and a rotor yoke inner diameter of 80mm, a "perfect fit" is achieved, resulting in a smoother magnetic field waveform and reduced high-order harmonic amplitude. This directly suppresses torque ripple and improves the smoothness and efficiency of motor operation.

[0046] In order to better fix the stator winding, in some specific embodiments of this application, the stator teeth 6 gradually extend outward from the stator core 3, and the ends expand and extend to both sides to form a T-shaped structure.

[0047] Specifically, the stator winding of this application is a fractional-slot concentrated winding, installed between adjacent stator teeth. Compared with an integer-slot distributed winding, the winding ends are shorter, the back EMF harmonics are smaller, and the cogging torque is smaller.

[0048] To further improve the smoothness of motor operation, some specific embodiments of this application, such as... Figure 2 The two auxiliary slots on each stator tooth are symmetrical about the center line of that stator tooth.

[0049] For example, the auxiliary groove is a rectangular structure with a width of 0.5m and a depth of 1mm.

[0050] In the embodiments described above, the auxiliary slot is located on the upper part of the stator teeth, close to the air gap. The rectangular auxiliary slot serves to increase the number of virtual slots, effectively increasing the least common multiple of the number of slots (here, the number of slots refers to the sum of virtual slots and stator slots) and the number of poles, effectively reducing the period of the cogging torque, reducing the amplitude of the cogging torque, and increasing the smoothness of motor operation.

[0051] The preferred features in the above embodiments can be used individually in any embodiment, or in any combination thereof, provided they do not conflict with each other. Furthermore, parts not described in detail in the embodiments can be implemented using existing technologies.
