Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of motorcycle motor technology, and in particular to an axial flux motor rotor structure. Background Technology

[0002] The rotor of an electric motor refers to the rotating part of the motor. An electric motor consists of a stator and a rotor, and it is a device that converts electrical energy into mechanical energy. In terms of the direction of magnetic flux, electric motors are divided into radial flux motors and axial flux motors. Currently, radial flux motors are the most common type on the market, while axial flux motors are more widely used in wind power generation, new energy vehicles, and new energy motorcycles. With the development of new energy technologies, electric motors are gradually trending towards lightweight, portable, and high-performance designs. Therefore, the development of axial flux motors is particularly important, and the research and development of the stator and rotor are key to the development of axial flux motors.

[0003] Currently, austenitic stainless steel, carbon fiber, and resin are widely used materials in axial motor rotor manufacturing technology. However, these materials are difficult to manufacture, costly, and have high processing difficulty, hindering rapid prototyping and rotor lightweighting. This application, while ensuring the performance of the axial flux motor rotor magnets, reduces the manufacturing difficulty and cost of the rotor yoke by changing its material and structure, thus achieving lightweighting. The magnet structure is also modified to reduce motor heat generation. This ultimately meets the performance requirements of high-performance axial flux motors. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide an axial flux motor rotor structure that effectively reduces magnet eddy current losses through a split magnet structure design, thereby reducing motor heat generation.

[0005] To achieve this objective, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0006] An axial flux motor rotor structure includes: a rotor yoke, a magnet, and epoxy resin adhesive. The rotor yoke and the magnet are bonded together with epoxy resin adhesive. The rotor yoke has a disc-shaped structure with multiple sets of grooves along its circumference to accommodate matching magnets. The outer arc polarity coefficient of the grooves is 0.6-0.9, and the inner arc polarity coefficient of the grooves is 0.5-0.85.

[0007] Furthermore, the rotor yoke material is made of 7075 aluminum alloy.

[0008] Furthermore, the magnet is made of sintered neodymium iron boron material.

[0009] Furthermore, the magnet is a set of 16 separate magnets.

[0010] Furthermore, the magnet is divided into 5 segments, with a gap of 0.1-0.2 mm between each segment.

[0011] Furthermore, the magnet has steps of 2.5mm high × 1mm wide × 25mm long on both sides.

[0012] Furthermore, the magnet is generally flat.

[0013] Furthermore, the magnet is generally tile-shaped.

[0014] Furthermore, the epoxy resin adhesive achieves a bonding strength of 26.5 MPa and a temperature resistance of 180°C.

[0015] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0016] 1. The 7075 aluminum alloy rotor yoke design allows for efficient selection of the slot polar arc coefficient and pre-design of the amount of adhesive epoxy resin used.

[0017] 2. The split magnet structure design effectively reduces magnet eddy current losses, thereby reducing motor heat generation.

[0018] 3. By using epoxy resin adhesive to bond magnets to the rotor yoke slots, the bonding efficiency of rotor magnets can be effectively accelerated and costs reduced. Attached Figure Description

[0030] Rotor yoke: The rotor yoke material is made of 7075 aluminum alloy, such as... Figure 2 The diagram shows a reasonable ratio of 0.6-0.9 for the outer arc of the groove and 0.5-0.85 for the inner arc, designed based on the volume of epoxy resin used in a volume of 2.5mm high × 1mm wide × 25mm long.
