[0022] This application provides a variable frequency motor structure with infrared temperature measurement, which solves the problems of signal transmission being easily affected by high temperature and electromagnetic interference when using thermocouples and thermistors to monitor the internal temperature of a motor, as well as the complex wiring and the limitations of handheld infrared thermometers for detecting the surface temperature of the motor, where external infrared devices cannot penetrate the motor casing to directly monitor the internal rotor and can only indirectly estimate the internal temperature through heat conduction, resulting in limited accuracy. The solution is to use an integrated design of an infrared sensor 3 and a controller, built into the motor, to achieve non-contact monitoring of the rotor temperature. This avoids the susceptibility of traditional contact sensors to failure in high temperature, vibration, and electromagnetic interference environments, which can lead to data drift or equipment damage. Simultaneously, a closed-loop feedback mechanism is constructed within the motor stator cavity 1, enabling the variable frequency algorithm to automatically optimize output frequency, current, and other parameters based on real-time temperature data, suppressing abnormal temperature rise.
[0023] To better understand the above technical solutions, the following will provide a detailed explanation of the technical solutions in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific implementation methods.
[0024] This utility model embodiment discloses the structure of a variable frequency motor with infrared temperature measurement.
[0025] According to the appendix Figure 1 As shown, it includes:
[0026] The motor stator cavity 1 contains a motor drive circuit board 2. The motor stator cavity 1 serves as a support structure for the stator assembly, providing mechanical strength and electromagnetic shielding. It houses the motor rotor, its permanent magnet 6, and the magnetic field generated by the motor stator coil 8. The motor stator cavity 1 is connected to the frame and supports the rotation of the motor rotor and its permanent magnet 6 through the bearing column 7.
[0027] The motor rotor and its permanent magnet 6 are disposed in the motor stator cavity 1. The permanent magnet is embedded in the rotor core to form an alternating N / S pole arrangement.
[0028] Infrared sensor 3 is mounted on motor drive circuit board 2. Infrared sensor 3 is used to perform non-contact temperature monitoring of motor rotor and its permanent magnet 6.
[0029] The control chip 5 is located on the motor drive circuit board 2. The control chip 5 is electrically connected to the infrared sensor 3. The control chip 5 is the core of the motor control algorithm. It processes sensor data and generates drive signals. The control chip 5 can communicate with the motor drive circuit board 2 and receive feedback signals from the infrared sensor 3 to adjust the motor's operating status.
[0030] The motor drive circuit board 2 is fixedly connected to the brushless motor three-phase terminal 4, which facilitates the connection between the motor drive circuit board 2 and the motor stator coil 8 to realize the input of three-phase current.
[0031] The three-phase terminals of the three-phase terminal 4 of the brushless motor are equipped with the three-phase windings of the motor stator coil 8.
[0032] A bearing column 7 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the motor stator cavity 1, and the motor rotor and its permanent magnet 6 are rotatably connected to the bearing column 7.
[0033] The motor drive circuit board 2, infrared sensor 3, and control chip 5 form a closed-loop feedback mechanism, which facilitates the frequency conversion algorithm to automatically optimize the output frequency based on real-time temperature data. The infrared sensor 3, control chip 5, and motor drive circuit board 2 are the core components of this closed-loop feedback mechanism. Through the coordinated operation of "detection-decision-execution," they achieve real-time monitoring and dynamic adjustment of the motor status, ensuring stable and efficient system operation.
[0034] The motor rotor and its permanent magnet 6 work together with the motor stator coil 8 to achieve electromechanical energy conversion.
[0035] This invention proposes a variable frequency motor structure with infrared temperature measurement, which is built into the motor stator cavity 1 and connected to the motor drive circuit board 2 via the three-phase terminals 4 of the brushless motor. Several infrared sensors 3 are added to achieve real-time monitoring of the rotor temperature. The working process is as follows: First, the motor drive circuit board 2 is powered by an external power supply. The control chip 5, through the FOC algorithm, systematically powers the three-phase terminals 4 of the brushless motor. The three-phase terminals are connected to the motor stator coils 8 inside the motor stator cavity 1. At this time, current flows regularly through the three-phase stator coils, and the motor rotor and its permanent magnets 6 are regularly subjected to magnetic force, achieving continuous rotation. This drives the bearing column 7 to rotate, and the fan blades (load) connected to the bearing column 7 rotate synchronously. Meanwhile, the infrared sensors 3 of the motor drive circuit board 2 monitor the rotor permanent magnets directly below in real time, and the control chip 5 filters and analyzes the collected infrared data to calculate the rotor temperature.
