[0029] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments.

[0030] Reference Figures 1-11 A high-speed permanent magnet motor for washing machines, the motor including a stator core and a rotor core;

[0031] like Figure 1 As shown, the stator core has 12 stator slots, with the outer diameter defined as OD and the inner diameter as ID. The split ratio K1 = ID / OD, and 0.6 ≤ K1 ≤ 0.7. As an example, 100mm ≤ OD ≤ 130mm is used. The stator core height is defined as H1, and 15mm ≤ H1 ≤ 45mm is used.

[0032] The stator core has 12 first teeth, the width of which is defined as W1, and the ratio of its first tooth diameter to its first tooth diameter is K2 = S*W1 / (π*ID), and 0.36≤K2≤0.46, where S is the number of stator slots.

[0033] The rotor core includes 8 identical second teeth, with a magnetic slot formed between each pair of adjacent second teeth for placing magnets; and / or the outer edge of each second tooth is composed of multiple arc segments, with the number of arc segments being ≥3.

[0034] Define the width of the magnet slot as W3, and 6.5mm≤W3≤7.5mm.

[0035] This implementation uses a 12-slot, 8-pole configuration, with the denominator of the simplest fraction of the number of slots per pole per phase being 2, which can effectively reduce the content of fractional harmonics in the air gap magnetic field.

[0036] As one implementation method, such as Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, choosing 0.6≤K1≤0.65, a larger splitting ratio K1 can effectively increase the back EMF and winding line inductance of the motor, ensuring that the motor has a large torque output at low speeds, while also having a strong field weakening capability at high speeds.

[0037] As one implementation method, such as Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, choosing 0.36≤K2≤0.46, a larger tooth diameter ratio K2 can effectively reduce the saturation degree of stator tooth magnetic flux. At low speeds, under the same current, it can effectively increase the output torque of the motor. At the same time, at high speeds, it can also effectively reduce the iron loss of the motor teeth.

[0038] As one implementation method, such as Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, a larger yoke width W2 is selected with a value of 0.85≤W2 / W1≤0.95, which increases the stator core modal frequency while further reducing stator iron loss at high speeds.

[0039] As one implementation method, such as Figure 8 As shown, a width of 6.5mm≤W3≤7.5mm is selected. A larger magnet slot width can accommodate thicker magnets, which can effectively reduce the risk of magnet demagnetization.

[0040] As one implementation method, such as Figure 9 As shown, selecting a reasonable rib width of 0.6mm≤W4≤1.2mm can reduce the leakage flux content and increase the back EMF while ensuring rotor strength.

[0041] In one embodiment, such as Figure 10 As shown, the inner edge of the stator teeth adopts a three-segment structure, with the middle part being an arc 2, and the two sides being straight segments 1 and 3. Through reasonable design, the harmonic content in the air gap can be effectively reduced.

[0042] In one embodiment, such as Figure 11 As shown, the rotor teeth are designed with each tooth having an outer edge composed of five arc segments, including a first segment 3 in the middle, a second segment 3 and a third segment 4 symmetrically distributed on both sides of the first segment 3, a fourth segment 1 on one side of the second segment 3, and a fifth segment 5 on one side of the third segment 4. Through proper design, the harmonic content in the air gap can be effectively reduced.

[0043] In one implementation, the stator core is made of multiple stator laminations stacked together, or it is formed as a single piece.

[0044] The rotor core is made up of multiple rotor laminations stacked together, or it can be formed as a single piece.

[0045] This invention, from the perspective of electromagnetic design, presents the relationship between parameters such as motor slot pole ratio, split ratio, tooth diameter ratio, yoke width, magnet slot width, and rib width and related performance. It also provides design ideas for stator tooth outer edge multi-segment lines and rotor tooth outer edge multi-segment line structures, thereby achieving the goal of improving motor low-speed output torque and high-speed output power, while improving motor efficiency at low and high speeds, and enhancing motor anti-demagnetization capability.

[0046] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model, but the protection scope of the present utility model is not limited thereto. Any technical solution, concept, or design obtained by those skilled in the art by making equivalent substitutions or changes based on the technical solution and utility model concept disclosed in the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
