Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to a permanent magnet magnetic circuit device and a rotary magnetic refrigeration machine. Background Technology

[0002] With societal progress, refrigeration technology is playing an increasingly important role, holding a pivotal position in various fields such as household refrigeration, commercial refrigeration, industrial refrigeration, and medical refrigeration.

[0003] Currently, many refrigeration technologies employ gas compression refrigeration. On the one hand, gas compression refrigeration has relatively low energy efficiency. On the other hand, it often uses hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs) as refrigerants, and HFCs are greenhouse gases with a global warming potential thousands of times greater than carbon dioxide. The widespread use of gas compression refrigeration carries the potential for environmental damage; for example, the emission of Freon used can deplete the ozone layer, contributing to the greenhouse effect. Therefore, the search for new refrigeration technologies is urgently needed.

[0004] Magnetic refrigeration technology, as a novel refrigeration technology that is green, environmentally friendly, energy-efficient, and reliable, has attracted much attention from researchers. Magnetic refrigeration technology is based on the magnetocaloric effect of magnetic materials, utilizing thermodynamic cycles to achieve refrigeration. The magnetocaloric effect refers to the heat absorption and release phenomenon exhibited by magnetocaloric materials in a changing magnetic field. Magnetic refrigeration technology often uses metals such as Gd or La(Fe,Si). 13 Solid materials such as compounds are used as refrigerants and will not pollute the environment. Magnetic refrigeration technology generally uses an active magnetic cold storage cycle as a thermodynamic cycle, which has high energy efficiency, far exceeding that of gas compression refrigeration.

[0005] The development of magnetic refrigeration technology is inseparable from changing magnetic field systems, with permanent magnet systems being the most common. Double-layer Halbach cylindrical permanent magnet systems are widely used in magnetic refrigerators, where the excitation and demagnetization of the magnetic refrigeration material are achieved through the rotation of the inner Halbach magnet array. However, this type of permanent magnet system suffers from a small gap volume in the middle, resulting in low heat exchange efficiency. Furthermore, the assembly process of the magnets in this system is complex, requiring the overcoming of strong magnetic forces to rearrange and assemble the magnets. Utility Model Content

[0006] In view of this, one objective of this utility model is to provide a permanent magnet circuit device. It has a relatively large central gap volume, resulting in high heat exchange efficiency. Furthermore, its assembly process is relatively simple. Another objective of this utility model is to provide a rotary magnetic refrigerator.

[0007] The present invention achieves the above objectives by adopting the following technical solution.

[0008] On the one hand, this utility model provides a permanent magnet circuit device, including a shaft, a stator and a rotor;

[0009] The stator has a cylindrical structure and is sleeved on the outside of the shaft. The inner wall of the stator is fixed to the outer wall of the shaft. The two ends of the shaft are located outside the two ends of the stator, respectively.

[0010] The rotor includes a housing, a first magnetic unit, and a second magnetic unit; the housing has a cylindrical structure; the housing is sleeved on the outside of the stator, and there is a first receiving space between the two; the housing has an inner sidewall and an outer sidewall, and there is a second receiving space between the inner sidewall and the outer sidewall for accommodating the first magnetic unit and the second magnetic unit.

[0011] Based on the number, shape, and size of the magnets, the first magnetic unit and the second magnetic unit are symmetrically arranged about the center line of the axis. The first magnetic unit includes n layers of magnets distributed radially along the shell, and the second magnetic unit includes n layers of magnets distributed radially along the shell, where n is a positive integer greater than or equal to 2. The n layers of magnets include a first layer of magnets and a second layer of magnets.

[0012] The first layer of magnets includes m first magnets of the same shape and size. These first magnets are all fan-shaped and are arranged in sequence along the perimeter of the shell, close to the inner wall of the shell, and m is an even number greater than or equal to 6.

[0013] The second layer of magnets includes (m-2) second magnets of the same shape and size. These second magnets are all fan-shaped and are arranged sequentially along the perimeter of the shell, close to the side of the first layer of magnets away from the inner wall of the shell. The two first magnets at both ends of the first layer of magnets are not provided with second magnets on the side away from the inner wall of the shell.

[0014] Such permanent magnet circuit devices can increase the volume of the primary storage space, thereby increasing the volume of the magnetic refrigeration bed assembly, which can accommodate more magnetic working fluid and improve heat exchange efficiency. The assembly of such permanent magnet circuit devices is also simpler. Furthermore, it can reduce energy consumption.

[0015] In this invention, n is preferably a positive integer greater than or equal to 3, for example, n is 4. m is preferably 8.

[0016] In the cross-sectional schematic diagram of the permanent magnet circuit device of this utility model, the magnetization directions of the magnets in the first magnetic unit and the magnets in the second magnetic unit are not symmetrical. Specifically, the magnetization direction of the magnets in the first magnetic unit is generally from the inner wall of the shell to the outer wall, and the magnetization direction of the magnets in the second magnetic unit is generally from the outer wall of the shell to the inner wall.

[0017] The magnets in the first and second magnetic units can be samarium cobalt magnets or neodymium iron boron magnets, preferably neodymium iron boron magnets. The grade of the neodymium iron boron magnet can be N50 or N52. In this invention, all magnets have the same grade.

[0019] The third magnet group comprises (m-4) third magnets of identical shape and size. These third magnets are fan-shaped and are arranged sequentially along the circumference of the shell, close to the side of the second magnet group away from the inner wall of the shell. No third magnets are placed on the side of the two second magnets at both ends of the second magnet group away from the inner wall of the shell. This improves the performance of the permanent magnet circuit device.

[0020] In this invention, each magnet is fan-shaped. The length of the outer arc of the first magnet in the first layer of magnet group is the same as the length of the inner arc of the second magnet in the second layer of magnet group, and the length of the outer arc of the second magnet is the same as the length of the inner arc of the third magnet in the third layer of magnet group.

[0021] According to the permanent magnet circuit device of this utility model, preferably, n is 4 and m is 8. This can improve the performance of the permanent magnet circuit device.

This secures each magnet. The fixing member can be a steel structure. The shape and size of the receiving cavity of the fixing member match the shape and size of the corresponding magnet.

[0027] According to the permanent magnet circuit device of this utility model, preferably, it further includes a magnetic refrigeration bed assembly, which comprises multiple magnetic refrigeration beds, all of which are fan-shaped and arranged in a ring, located within a first accommodating space between the shell and the stator. The interiors of the multiple magnetic refrigeration beds are all configured with hollow structures to accommodate the magnetic working fluid. Through holes are provided at both ends of these magnetic refrigeration beds for connecting heat exchange fluid pipelines. This increases the accommodating space of the hollow structure of the magnetic refrigeration bed, allowing for the accommodation of more magnetic working fluid, improving heat exchange efficiency, and enhancing operating efficiency.

[0028] According to the permanent magnet circuit device of this utility model, preferably, it further includes two bearings; the bearings have an annular structure; the two bearings are respectively located at two ends of the housing, configured to allow the rotor to rotate around the stator.

The bearing housing is connected to the base. By setting the bases, dust and other contaminants can be prevented from entering the rotor, thus protecting the rotor. During operation, neither the bases nor the bearing housings rotate.

[0030] On the other hand, this utility model also provides a rotary magnetic refrigerator, including the permanent magnet circuit device as described above.

[0031] The permanent magnet circuit device of this invention has a larger central gap volume, which allows for a larger volume of the magnetic refrigeration bed assembly, accommodating more magnetic working fluid. This increased volume generates significant cooling, improving the refrigeration performance of the magnetic refrigerator, including its cooling temperature range, cooling power, and overall operating efficiency. Furthermore, the assembly process of this permanent magnet circuit device is relatively simple. In addition, this permanent magnet circuit device consists of a stator and a rotor. Compared to the overall rotation of existing permanent magnet circuit devices, this invention only rotates the rotor, requiring less energy and improving the energy utilization rate of the magnetic refrigerator.
