Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of motor technology, specifically relating to a rotor assembly and a motor having the same. Background Technology
[0002] Currently, the rotor structure of a typical tangential permanent magnet direct drive motor mainly includes a rotor support, a magnetic shielding ring, and a rotor core. The rotor core of this structure is usually formed by splicing multiple core blocks circumferentially. To fix these core blocks, threaded holes are typically drilled at corresponding positions on each core block, magnetic shielding ring, and rotor support. Multiple bolts are then used to connect the three parts together, thereby securing the core blocks and stabilizing the rotor structure. However, this process is relatively complex and has low production efficiency. Utility Model Content
[0003] Therefore, this utility model provides a rotor assembly that can solve the technical problems of complex manufacturing processes and low production efficiency of existing permanent magnet direct drive motor rotor structures.
[0004] To address the aforementioned problems, this utility model provides a rotor assembly, comprising a rotor core, a first set of rings, a second set of rings, and multiple connecting members. The rotor core comprises multiple core blocks, which are circumferentially joined to form the rotor core. Each core block has a channel constructed within it, and each channel extends through the core block along the axial direction of the rotor core. Each connecting member is inserted into the channel, and each connecting member has a first portion and a second portion located outside the two ends of the channel. The first set of rings is tightly fitted onto each of the first portions, and the second set of rings is tightly fitted onto each of the second portions. The first and second sets of rings clamp each core block from both axial sides of the rotor core.
[0005] In some embodiments, a first fracture notch is formed on the first ring body, and welding is performed at the first fracture notch after the first ring body is tightly fitted onto each of the first parts.
[0006] In some embodiments, each of the first portions is provided with a first slot, and the first sleeve body is simultaneously engaged in each of the first slots.
[0007] In some embodiments, a second fracture notch is formed on the second ring body, and welding is performed at the second fracture notch after the second ring body is tightly fitted onto each of the second parts.
[0008] In some embodiments, each of the second portions is provided with a second slot, and the second sleeve body is simultaneously engaged in each of the second slots.
[0009] In some embodiments, a magnetic shielding ring and a rotor support are assembled on the radially inner side of the rotor core. The rotor support includes an outer ring body. The outer ring body, the magnetic shielding ring, and the rotor core are nested sequentially from the inside out. A first retaining ring and a second retaining ring are respectively provided on both axial sides of the rotor core. The first retaining ring and the second retaining ring clamp the outer ring body, the magnetic shielding ring, and the rotor core from both axial sides of the rotor core.
[0010] In some embodiments, the first retaining ring is connected to the outer ring of the bracket by a first fastener.
[0011] In some embodiments, the second retaining ring is connected to the outer ring of the bracket by a second fastener.
[0012] In some embodiments, each of the core blocks is engaged with the magnetic shielding ring; and / or, the magnetic shielding ring is engaged with the outer ring of the support.
[0013] This utility model also provides an electric motor, including the aforementioned rotor assembly.
[0014] The rotor assembly and the motor having the same provided by this utility model have the following beneficial effects:
[0015] By constructing channels extending axially along the rotor core within each core block, and inserting connectors into each channel, each connector has a first part and a second part located outside the channel. A first set of rings is fitted onto each first part, and a second set of rings is fitted onto each second part. The first and second sets of rings are pressed against the two end faces of the rotor core, clamping the rotor core from both axial sides. This allows the two rings, in conjunction with multiple connectors, to fix the core blocks into a single unit, forming the rotor core. Compared to existing technologies, this method eliminates the need for threaded holes in the core blocks to fix them into the rotor core, simplifying the rotor manufacturing process and improving production efficiency.

[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. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. The following description of at least one exemplary embodiment is merely illustrative and is in no way intended to limit the present utility model or its application or use. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the present utility model without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present utility model.
[0030] In the description of this utility model, it should be understood that the directional terms such as "front, back, up, down, left, right", "horizontal, vertical, horizontal" and "top, bottom" indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings. They are only for the convenience of describing this utility model and simplifying the description. Unless otherwise stated, these directional terms do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore should not be construed as a limitation on the scope of protection of this utility model. The directional terms "inner" and "outer" refer to the inner and outer contours of each component itself.
[0031] For ease of description, spatial relative terms such as "above," "on top of," "on the upper surface of," "above," etc., are used herein to describe the spatial positional relationship of a device or feature as shown in the figures to other devices or features. It should be understood that spatial relative terms are intended to encompass different orientations in use or operation beyond the orientation of the device as described in the figures. For example, if the device in the figures were inverted, a device described as "above" or "on top of" other devices or structures would subsequently be positioned as "below" or "under" other devices or structures. Thus, the exemplary term "above" can include both "above" and "below." The device may also be positioned in other different ways (rotated 90 degrees or in other orientations), and the spatial relative descriptions used herein will be interpreted accordingly.
[0032] Furthermore, it should be noted that the use of terms such as "first" and "second" to define components is merely for the purpose of distinguishing the corresponding components. Unless otherwise stated, the above terms have no special meaning and therefore cannot be construed as limiting the scope of protection of this utility model.

A first set of rings 2 is tightly fitted onto each first part, and a second set of rings 3 is tightly fitted onto each second part. The first set of rings 2 and the second set of rings 3 are pressed against the two end faces of the rotor core 1, so that the first set of rings 2 and the second set of rings 3 clamp the rotor core 1 from both axial sides. In this way, the two rings, together with multiple connectors 4, can fix each core block into a whole to form the rotor core 1. Compared with the prior art, it is not necessary to drill threaded holes on each core block to fix each core block into the rotor core 1, thereby simplifying the rotor manufacturing process and improving production efficiency.
