Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to a stator assembly of an axial flux motor and the axial flux motor itself. Background Technology
[0002] The stator assembly of an existing axial flux motor includes a stator core and an insulating frame. The stator core includes an annular yoke and several teeth protruding axially from the top surface of the annular yoke. The teeth are evenly spaced circumferentially, and a slot is formed between adjacent teeth. The top sides of the teeth extend laterally to form tooth baffles. The insulating frame includes several T-shaped outer slot insulations and several U-shaped inner slot insulations. Each U-shaped inner slot insulation is fitted onto the teeth from inside the core, with the teeth as a reference. Each T-shaped outer slot insulation is inserted into the core slot with the slot as a reference. The ends of the T-shaped outer slot insulations extend into both sides of the teeth. The ends of the T-shaped outer slot insulations have outer stops, and the U-shaped inner slot insulations have inner stops. The outer stops and inner stops are interlocked. However, this type of stator assembly has the following disadvantages: 1. The tooth baffles of the stator core have no insulation protection on both sides, which poses a risk of creepage (i.e., leakage risk caused by too small creepage distance); 2. There are too many mounting parts (an average of two mounting parts per tooth), which makes assembly inconvenient; 3. The T-shaped outer insulation frame needs to be pried open to widen the angle before it can be installed into the core, which is inconvenient to operate. Utility Model Content
[0003] This utility model provides a stator assembly and an axial flux motor to solve the technical problem of creepage risk on both sides of the tooth baffle of the stator core in the stator assembly of the axial flux motor in the prior art.
[0004] The technical solution of this utility model is implemented as follows:
[0005] The first objective of this invention is to provide a stator assembly for an axial flux motor, comprising a stator core and an insulating frame. The stator core includes an annular yoke and a plurality of teeth protruding axially from the top surface of the annular yoke. The teeth are evenly spaced circumferentially, and a slot is formed between adjacent teeth. The top sides of the teeth extend laterally to form tooth baffles. The insulating frame comprises an outer slot insulation and an inner slot insulation. The outer slot insulation is sleeved on the stator core and covers the outer wall surfaces of each tooth and the annular yoke. The bottom of the inner slot insulation covers the top surface of the annular yoke. The middle part of the inner slot insulation surrounds the inner wall surface and the side walls of each tooth. The top of the inner slot insulation covers the bottom surface of the tooth baffles. The top sides of the inner slot insulation extend axially to form two insulating protrusions, which cover the side walls of the tooth baffles.
[0006] The aforementioned inner groove insulation has inner buckle strips protruding inward on both sides of the teeth, and the outer groove insulation has outer buckle strips corresponding to the inner buckle strips. The inner buckle strips and outer buckle strips are fastened together.
[0007] The aforementioned inner groove insulation includes an insulating side plate surrounding the inner wall surface and two side walls of the tooth section. The inner buckle is set at the end of the insulating side plate. The top of the insulating side plate is connected to two insulating top plates and an inner insulating upturned edge. The insulating top plates cover the bottom surface of the tooth section baffle, and the inner insulating upturned edge covers the inner wall of the tooth section baffle. The bottom of the insulating side plate is connected to an insulating bottom plate, and the insulating bottom plate covers the top surface of the annular yoke.
[0008] The aforementioned inner groove insulation is composed of several toothed insulation sections, each toothed insulation section surrounding one tooth, and the insulating base plates of two adjacent toothed insulation sections are joined together.
[0009] The aforementioned insulating base plates of two adjacent toothed insulations are spliced together. Specifically, each toothed insulation base plate has an upper edge on the left side and a lower edge on the right side, with the upper edge of the toothed insulation overlapping the lower edge of the adjacent toothed insulation.
[0010] The aforementioned outer groove insulation includes several tooth outer insulation plates covering the outer side of the tooth section. The top of the tooth outer insulation plate is connected to an outer insulation upturned edge, which covers the outer wall of the tooth baffle. The bottom of each tooth outer insulation plate is connected to an insulating sleeve, which surrounds the outer side of the annular yoke. The outer buckle is provided on both sides of the tooth outer insulation plate.
[0011] The top of the aforementioned insulating sleeve extends outward with an upper annular insulating baffle, and the bottom of the insulating sleeve extends outward with a lower annular insulating baffle.
[0012] The outer edge of the aforementioned upper annular insulating baffle is provided with a marking groove below the outer insulating plate of each tooth.
[0013] The second objective of this utility model is to provide an axial flux motor, including a stator assembly of the axial flux motor, characterized in that: the stator assembly of the axial flux motor is the stator assembly of the axial flux motor described above.
[0014] Compared with the prior art, this utility model has the following advantages:
[0015] 1. The stator assembly of the axial flux motor includes a stator core and an insulating frame. The stator core includes an annular yoke and several teeth protruding axially from the top surface of the annular yoke. The teeth are evenly spaced circumferentially, and a slot is formed between adjacent teeth. Tooth baffles extend laterally from the top two sides of the teeth. The insulating frame includes an outer slot insulation and an inner slot insulation. The outer slot insulation is fitted over the stator core and covers the outer walls of each tooth and the annular yoke. The bottom of the inner slot insulation covers the top surface of the annular yoke, the middle of the inner slot insulation surrounds the inner wall and side walls of each tooth, and the top of the inner slot insulation covers the bottom surface of the tooth baffles. Two insulating protrusions extend axially from the top two sides of the inner slot insulation, covering the side walls of the tooth baffles. The insulating protrusions protect the tooth baffles, eliminating the risk of creepage. The integrated outer slot insulation reduces the number of parts, optimizes installation difficulty, and lowers production costs.

The middle part of the inner slot insulation 12 surrounds the inner wall surface and the side walls of each tooth 22. The top of the inner slot insulation 12 covers the bottom surface of the tooth baffles 23. The top sides of the inner slot insulation 12 extend axially to form two insulating protrusions 121, which cover the side walls of the tooth baffles 23.
[0029] The stator assembly of the axial flux motor has an insulating protrusion 121 that protects the tooth baffle 23, eliminating the risk of creepage; the integrated outer slot insulation 11 reduces the number of parts, optimizes installation difficulty, and reduces production costs.
[0030] The inner groove insulation 12 described above has inner buckle strips 126 protruding inward on both sides of the teeth, and the outer groove insulation 11 has outer buckle strips 111 corresponding to the inner buckle strips 126.

[0031] The aforementioned inner groove insulation 12 includes an insulating side plate 124 surrounding the inner wall and two side walls of the toothed portion 22.

Specifically, each toothed insulator 120 has an upper edge 127 on its left side and a lower edge 128 on its right side. The upper edge 127 of the toothed insulator 120 rests on the lower edge 128 of the adjacent toothed insulator 120. The complementary step design between the upper edge 127 and the lower edge 128 eliminates the risk of creepage between the toothed insulators 120, further enhancing the safety of the stator assembly.
[0034] The aforementioned outer groove insulation 11 includes several tooth outer insulation plates 112 covering the outer side of the tooth portion 22. The top of each tooth outer insulation plate 112 is connected to an outer insulation upturned edge 113, which covers the outer wall of the tooth baffle 23.
