[Technical field]

[0001] This application is filed based on the Chinese patent application filed on May 31, 2022 and bearing application number 202210615605.6, the Chinese patent application filed on May 31, 2022 and bearing application number 202221359939.3, the Chinese patent application filed on May 31, 2022 and bearing application number 202210629322.7, and the Chinese patent application filed on May 31, 2022 and bearing application number 202221359709.7, and claims priority to the above Chinese patent applications, the entire contents of which are incorporated herein by reference.

[0002] The present application relates to the technical field of manufacturing motor devices, and in particular to rotor assemblies, permanent magnet synchronous motors, electric compressors, air conditioning systems, and vehicles. [Background technology]

[0003] As is well known, permanent magnet synchronous motors have a simple structure, high efficiency, and high motor power density, and are widely used in the field of electric compressors. When an electric compressor is installed in a vehicle, especially a four-wheel drive or hybrid vehicle, there is a relatively high requirement for the vibration and shock resistance of the electric compressor, which is usually 10g to 50g, where g is the standard gravitational acceleration. When the electric compressor is in operation, the temperature of the rotor part changes over a wide range, and each part of the rotor expands or contracts due to the temperature change. Since the balance weight, end plate, rivet pin, and rotor iron core are made of different materials, their thermal expansion coefficients do not match, and the fastening structure formed at room temperature may generate a small gap at the limit temperature. When a gap occurs, the burring part of the rivet pin will lose its effectiveness and even break due to the impact and residual stress of high-intensity vibration, causing the rotor to be destroyed and the compressor to fail, leaving room for improvement.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

[0032] Hereinafter, the embodiments of the present disclosure will be described in detail. The above-mentioned embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings, and the same or similar reference numerals throughout represent the same or similar elements, or elements having the same or similar functions. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are examples for interpreting the present disclosure, and should not be understood as limiting the present disclosure.

[0033] Hereinafter, a rotor assembly 1 according to some embodiments of the present application will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0034] 1 and 9, a rotor assembly 1 according to an embodiment of the present application includes a rotor body 11 and a rotor rivet 12. Here, the rotor assembly 1 is used for attachment and fitting with a stator assembly so that the rotor assembly 1 can rotate relative to the stator assembly when the permanent magnet synchronous motor is energized and thus can output driving force to compress air or perform other types of driving functions.

[0035] 1 to 3, rotor body 11 includes rotor core 111, end plates 112, and balance weights 113, and permanent magnets are fitted into rotor core 111. If rotor core 111 has magnet grooves, the permanent magnets can be fitted into the magnet grooves to achieve attachment and fixation to rotor core 111. Furthermore, during actual attachment, rotor core 111 is attached within the stator assembly and fitted outside drive shaft 2 of electric compressor 100. Therefore, during operation of electric compressor 100, the windings of the stator assembly are energized, and the generated magnetic field acts on the permanent magnets to rotate rotor core 111, which in turn moves drive shaft 2 and outputs driving force.

[0036] An end plate 112 is provided at each of both axial ends of the rotor core 111, that is, two end plates 112 are provided, and the two end plates 112 are provided at both ends of the rotor core 111 so as to be in close contact with the end faces of the rotor core 111, and a balance weight 113 is provided on the side of at least one of the end plates 112 away from the rotor core 111. That is, as shown in Fig. 3, a balance weight 113 may be provided corresponding to one end plate 112, or balance weights 113 may be provided on both side surfaces of both end plates 112 facing back to back, and the number of balance weights 113 can be flexibly set according to actual needs.

[0037] The rotor rivets 12 penetrate the rotor body 11 along the axial direction to fix the rotor body 11 as a whole. The rotor core 111, the end plates 112 and the balance weights 113 are provided with hollow hole structures so that the rotor rivets 12 penetrate the rotor core 111, the end plates 112 and the balance weights 113 at the same time, thus connecting each part of the rotor body 11 to a whole and ensuring that the rotor core 111, the end plates 112 and the balance weights 113 are relatively fixed in the axial direction of the rotor body 11, preventing the end plates 112 and the balance weights 113 from moving relatively away from the rotor core 111 during rotation of the rotor core 111, and enhancing the structural stability of the rotor body 11.

[0038] Here, as shown in Fig. 6 to Fig. 8, the rotor rivet 12 includes a rod portion 121, a head portion 122, and a crimped portion 123, and the head portion 122 and the crimped portion 123 are located at both ends of the rod portion 121 in the longitudinal direction. As shown in Fig. 6 to Fig. 8, the head portion 122 is connected to the upper end of the rod portion 121, and the crimped portion 123 is connected to the lower end of the rod portion 121. Note that the rotor rivet 12 includes the head portion 122 and the rod portion 121 at the time of initial molding, and after the rotor rivet 12 is crimped to the rotor body 11, the crimped portion 123 is processed by a crimping process, and the head portion 122 and the crimped portion 123 play a role of restricting the position at both ends of the rotor body 11, and thus realize the position restriction in the axial direction with respect to each member of the rotor body 11.

[0039] At least one balance weight 113 is a first balance weight having a rivet hole a, and the rivet hole a includes a first hole section 1131 for fitting into the rod portion 121 and a second hole section 1132 for fitting into the crimped portion 123, the second hole section 1132 being in an expanded shape relative to the first hole section 1131, and at least a portion of the crimped portion 123 being filled within the second hole section 1132.

[0040] Specifically, the balance weight 113 of the rotor body 11 in the present application may be set to one or two as shown in Fig. 3. Here, when one balance weight 113 is set, this balance weight 113 may be the first balance weight, and when two balance weights 113 are set, one or both balance weights 113 may be set as the first balance weight.

[0041] For example, when two balance weights 113 are provided and positioned on both axial sides of the rotor body 11, if the crimping direction of all the rotor rivets 12 is the same, all the crimped portions 123 may be positioned on the same axial side of the rotor body 11, and all the heads 122 may be positioned on the other axial side of the rotor body 11. In this case, if the balance weight 113 on the shaft side on which the crimped portions 123 are provided is designated as the first balance weight, and the balance weight 113 on the shaft side on which the heads 122 are provided is designated as the second weight, the second balance weight may also have rivet holes, but the shape of the rivet holes in the second balance weight may be different from the shape of the rivet holes in the first balance weight.

[0042] For example, the rivet holes in the second balance weight do not need to include a hole section in the form of a reamed hole, and multiple rotor rivets 12 are inserted through the rivet holes in the second balance weight, some of the rod portions 121 of these rotor rivets 12 are positioned within the rivet holes in the second balance weight, and the heads 122 of these rotor rivets 12 are engaged with the outer end surface of the second balance weight.

[0043] Of course, the present application is not limited to this, and when two balance weights 113 are provided on both axial sides of the rotor body 11, and all of the rotor rivets 12 have different directions, and the crimping portions 123 corresponding to the rotor rivets 12 are crimped to each balance weight 113, both of the two balance weights 113 may be the first balance weight.

[0044] Here, since the first balance weight has hole sections of two structural forms, during installation and crimping, the rod portion 121 can be inserted through the first hole section 1131 and the second hole section 1132, and thus during the crimping process, pressure can be applied to the end of the rod portion 121 away from the head 122 to form the crimped portion 123, and at least a portion of the crimped portion 123 can be positioned within the second hole section 1132. Here, the second hole section 1132 is enlarged relative to the first hole section 1131, and the inner diameter of the second hole section 1132 is made larger than the inner diameter of the first hole section 1131. Thus, when the portion of the crimping section 123 located within the second hole section 1132 is fitted into the second hole section 1132, the diameter of the fitting surface between the crimping section 123 and the second hole section 1132 is made larger than the fitting diameter between the first hole section 1131 and the rod section 121, thereby increasing the fitting surface between the crimping section and the second hole section 1132 and thus improving the connection stability between the rotor rivet 12 and the rotor body 11. Here, the crimping section 123 and the rod section 121 are formed of the same material, so there is no need to process and mold them from different materials, which is advantageous for reducing the number of processing steps, reducing processing costs, and mass production.

[0045] Moreover, by positioning at least a part of the crimping portion 123 within the second hole section 1132, the connection portion between the crimping portion 123 and the rod portion 121 can be positioned within the second hole section 1132, and the crimping portion does not completely protrude outside the balance weight as in the general design, improving the molding quality of the crimping portion 123, and in particular, the inner peripheral wall of the second hole section 1132 plays a role of supporting and reinforcing at least a part of the crimping portion 123, thereby preventing the crimping portion 123 from breaking relative to the rod portion 121, improving the structural quality of the crimping portion 123, and improving the mounting stability of the rotor assembly 1. Here, during actual crimping, it is possible to position a part of the crimping portion 123 within the second hole section 1132 or to position the crimping portion 123 completely within the second hole section 1132, allowing flexible selection of structural design and easy adjustment of the crimping fitting depth.

[0046] In addition, in related technology, the crimped portion of the rotor rivet is often located on the end plate side of the rotor body and is not provided on the balance weight. In this case, if a part of the rivet is to fit into the crimped portion on the balance weight, the rivet must be designed to be thick, which can result in the crimped portion protruding completely from the balance weight after crimping, or the balance weight having low hardness causing structural fatigue, causing the rotor body to loosen. On the other hand, in the present application, the rivet hole a in the first balance weight is arranged to include the first hole section 1131 and the second hole section 1132, and is engaged with the rod portion 121 and the crimping portion 123 of the rotor rivet 12. This not only increases the crimping depth, makes it less likely to loosen, and ensures the stability of the crimping, but also prevents the crimping portion 123 from breaking relative to the rod portion 121, improving the structural reliability of the rotor rivet 12, and prevents the crimping portion 123 from protruding excessively from the first balance weight.

[0047] In the rotor assembly 1 of the embodiment of the present application, by providing a first hole section 1131 and a second hole section 1132 with different hole diameters in order to achieve engagement with the rod portion 121 and the crimping portion 123 of the rotor rivet 12, the crimping depth is increased, the stability of the crimping is improved, and it is ensured that the structure of the crimping portion 123 is effectively supported by the outer peripheral wall of the second hole section 1132, thereby preventing the crimping portion 123 from breaking relative to the rod portion 121, enhancing the structural safety of the rotor rivet 12, and improving the reliability of the rotor assembly 1.

[0048] In the rotor assembly 1 according to the embodiment of the present application, the fitting structure between the rotor rivet 12 and the balance weight 113 is optimized to improve the crimping process, and even when the rotor rivet 12 and the balance weight 113 are fitted together at a critical temperature, there is no problem of the rotor rivet 12 structurally fracturing at the crimped portion 123, improving the structural stability of the rotor rivet 12 and improving the safety and reliability of the rotor assembly 1 and a permanent magnet synchronous motor equipped with the same.

[0049] In addition, in some related arts, the material of the balance weight disposed at the rivet crimping portion is made softer than the rivet to prevent fatigue depressions and reduction in fastening strength at the contact surface position between the crimping portion and the balance weight during crimping, thereby improving the problem of crimping failure, but using a soft material such as brass at the crimping position reduces the design freedom and increases costs. In another method, a material harder than the rivet material is interposed between the rivet head and the balance weight to prevent fatigue depressions at the rivet head and maintain fastening strength, but the crimping process and manufacturing process become more complicated when a material harder than the rivet material is interposed between the rivet head and the balance weight, which leaves room for improvement. On the other hand, the rotor assembly 1 according to the embodiment of the present application can effectively avoid the above series of technical problems by adopting the above technical solution without changing the material hardness.

[0050] In some embodiments, as shown in FIG. 4, the cross-sectional area of ​​the second hole section 1132 gradually increases in a direction away from the first hole section 1131; for example, the first hole section 1131 and the second hole section 1132 are both circular hole structures, but the first hole section 1131 has a constant cross-sectional area hole structure and the second hole section 1132 has a variable cross-sectional area hole structure, i.e., the inner diameter at each position along the length of the first hole section 1131 is kept constant and the inner diameter at each position along the length of the second hole section 1132 is gradually changed.

[0051] As shown in FIG. 4 , the second hole section 1132 is connected to the right side of the first hole section 1131, the first hole section 1131 penetrates to the left end face of the first balance weight, and the second hole section 1132 penetrates to the right end face of the first balance weight, and the cross-sectional area of ​​the second hole section 1132 gradually increases from left to right to form a flared structure on the right side of the first hole section 1131.

[0052] Furthermore, as shown in FIG. 4, the cross-sectional area of ​​the second hole section 1132 increases linearly, that is, the second hole section 1132 has a horizontal funnel-shaped structure. In this manner, after the rotor rivet 12 is inserted through the first hole section 1131 and the second hole section 1132, pressure is applied to the rotor rivet 12 to form a crimped portion 123 at the end of the rod portion 121. In the process of the crimped portion 123 being crimped and fitted into the second hole section 1132, the crimped portion 123 is formed into a structure that is compatible with the second hole section 1132, for example, the crimped portion 123 is also compressed into a horizontal funnel structure.

[0053] As a result, the crimping portion 123 and the second hole section 1132 have a relatively large mating surface, which is particularly larger than the cross-sectional area of ​​the mating surface between the first hole section 1131 and the rod portion 121, making the mating surface between the second hole section 1132 and the crimping portion 123 more compact, improving the crimping effect between the crimping portion 123 and the first balance weight, and supporting the crimping portion 123 with the inner wall of the second hole section 1132, greatly reducing the risk of the crimping portion 123 breaking relative to the rod portion 121, thereby improving the reliability of the rotor rivet 12.

[0054] In some embodiments, the second hole section 1132 is filled with the crimped portion 123, i.e., the length of the crimped portion 123 in the axial direction of the rotor rivet 12 is greater than or equal to the depth of the second hole section 1132 in the thickness direction of the first balance weight.

[0055] If the structural dimensions of both are the same, the crimped portion 123 can be fully extended into the second hole section 1132, and the outer surface of the crimped portion 123 can be flush with the outer surface of the first balance weight, forming a structure in which the crimped portion 123 can be fitted into the second hole section 1132.In this way, when the electric compressor 100 is operating, the crimped portion 123 will not protrude outward from the first balance weight and come into contact with structures outside the first balance weight, thereby preventing impact. This improves the safety of the crimped portion 123, and since the outer peripheral wall of the first balance weight is relatively flat, it does not get in the way of the structure.

[0056] Alternatively, the length corresponding to the crimped portion 123 is greater than the depth of the second hole section 1132, and as shown in FIG. 4, the portion where the left end of the crimped portion 123 connects to the rod portion 121 is located within the second hole section 1132, and the right end portion of the crimped portion 123 is located outside the second hole section 1132. In addition, the portion of the crimping portion 123 protruding from the second hole section 1132 may be used as a reserve section.In this way, during radial riveting, the radial riveting punch is prevented from coming into contact with the first balance weight, or the reserve section is made to protrude outward from the second hole section 1132.If the rotor assembly 1 is used for a long period of time and a large gap occurs between the crimping portion 123 and the inner wall of the second hole section 1132, the rotor assembly 1 can be radially crimped again to further crimp and press the reserve section, thereby filling the gap between the crimping portion 123 and the second hole section 1132 and improving the stability of the crimping.

[0057] In some embodiments, the crimping portion 123 includes a sunken portion 1231 located in the second hole section 1132 and an exposed portion 1232 located on the surface of the first balance weight. Here, the sunken portion 1231 and the exposed portion 1232 are processed and formed during the radial crimping process of the rotor rivet 12. For example, after the rod portion 121 penetrates through the first hole section 1131 and the second hole section 1132, one end of the rod portion 121 away from the head portion 122 is radially crimped so that the end of the rod portion 121 first forms the sunken portion 1231 in the second hole section 1132, and as the radial crimping punch is further processed, the rod portion 121 forms the exposed portion 1232 on the surface of the first balance weight, and the exposed portion 1232 is suitable for pressing the surface of the first balance weight. Here, as shown in FIGS. 6 to 8, the exposed portion 1232 can be processed into different shapes during actual processing.

[0058] As a result, by machining one end of the rod portion 121 with a radial crimping punch, the sunken portion 1231 is tightly pressed against the inner wall of the second hole section 1132 within the second hole section 1132, increasing the degree of fit between the crimped portion 123 and the second hole section 1132, and a tight press-fit structure is also formed between the exposed portion 1232 and the surface of the first balance weight, increasing the degree of fit between the crimped portion 123 and the surface of the first balance weight, improving the stability of the fit between the first balance weight and the crimped portion 123.

[0059] In addition, after the rotor rivet 12 and the rotor body 11 perform position limiting engagement, the rotor rivet 12 can not only perform position limiting on one side of the first balance weight by the sunken portion 1231 and the inner wall of the second hole section 1132, but also by the exposed portion 1232 and the surface of the first balance weight, that is, a two-layer position limiting engagement is formed between the crimped portion 123 and the first balance weight, thereby improving the position limiting stability between the crimped portion 123 and the first balance weight and improving the crimping reliability.

[0060] In some embodiments, as shown in Figures 6 to 8, the diameter of rod portion 121 is D and the maximum diameter of crimped portion 123 is D0, where 1.2D≦D0≦2D, i.e., the maximum diameter of crimped portion 123 is greater than 1.2 times the diameter of rod portion 121 and less than twice the diameter of rod portion 121, for example, D0 is set to 1.4D, 1.6D or 1.7D.

[0061] Here, the structural dimensions of the crimping portion 123 and the structural dimensions of the rod portion 121 are set within the above-mentioned dimensional range, and the crimping portion 123 and the second hole section 1132 can have a relatively large fitting depth and fitting area, thereby improving the crimping stability and ensuring the crimping quality of the rotor rivet 12. In addition, the radial dimension of the crimping portion 123 is not excessively large, and the crimping portion 123 does not excessively extend outside the second hole section 1132, thereby saving material and preventing other quality problems caused by the crimping portion 123 protruding from the outer radius of the rotor core 111 after crimping, and improving the rationality of the structural design.

[0062] As a result, the installation of the caulking portion 123 can achieve both caulking quality and material-saving effect.

[0063] In some embodiments, the number of magnetic poles of the rotor body 11 is A, and the number of rotor rivets 12 is B, where B ≤ A - 2. That is, the number of installed rotor rivets 12 is less than or equal to the number of magnetic poles of the rotor body 11 minus 2. When the number of magnetic poles is set to 8, the number of rotor rivets 12 is 6 or 4.

[0064] Thereby, after connecting and fitting the first balance weight through the caulking portion 123 of the rotor rivet 12 in the present application, on the premise of ensuring the caulking quality, the number of rotor rivets 12 can be reduced to the maximum extent, and the installation cost, material cost, and processing process cost of the rotor rivets 12 can be reduced. Of course, the number of rotor rivets 12 cannot be set too few, such as 1. That is, it is necessary to ensure that the rotor rivets 12 can effectively position and fix at a plurality of different positions in the circumferential direction of the rotor assembly 1.

[0065] In some embodiments, as shown in FIG. 2, the outer radius of the rotor core 111 is R, and the diameter of the cylindrical surface that is coaxial with the rotor core 111 and passes through the central axis of the rotor rivet 12 is r (or r is the distance between the central axis of the rod portion and the central axis of the rotor core), satisfying 0.4 < r / R < 0.9. For example, r / R is set to 0.6, 0.7, or 0.8. Here, by reasonably providing the hole structure of the avoidance hole for penetrating the rotor rivet 12 in the rotor core 111, the position of the rotor rivet 12 on the rotor core 111 can be kept away from the outer peripheral wall of the rotor core 111, and a sufficient safety distance can be maintained.

[0066] In addition, when rotor rivets 12 are attached in the prior art, the gap between the hole structure in rotor core 111 for inserting rotor rivets 12 therethrough and the outer peripheral wall of rotor core 111 is small, so the structural strength of the outer peripheral wall of rotor core 111 at the position corresponding to rotor rivet 12 is small, i.e., when rotor core 111 is used for a long period of time and rotates frequently at high speed, the hole structure of rotor core 111 is significantly worn away by rotor rivets 12, resulting in damage to the structure of rotor core 111. In the present application, by setting the ratio of r / R within the above range, it is possible to effectively avoid the problem of the outer peripheral wall of rotor core 111 bursting, improve the structural stability of rotor core 111, and ensure the crimping quality.

[0067] In some embodiments, the value of diameter D of rod portion 121 ranges from 3 mm to 6 mm, and for example, the diameter of rod portion 121 is 4 mm or 5 mm. Note that rod portion 121 is for fitting into rivet hole a, and the gap between rod portion 121 and the inner wall of rivet hole a is 0.1 mm to 0.2 mm, that is, the hole diameter of rivet hole a changes according to the diameter of rod portion 121 so that the two are fitted together within a reasonable fitting gap range.

[0068] In some embodiments, multiple rotor rivets 12 are provided and the multiple rotor rivets 12 are installed at intervals along the circumferential direction of the rotor core 111, so that the rotor core 111 and the end plates 112 can be connected and fixed by the rotor rivets 12 at multiple positions in the circumferential direction, thereby maximally improving the structural stability and reliability of the rotor body 11.

[0069] Here, the spacing between the multiple rotor rivets 12 in the circumferential direction of the rotor core 111 can be made even; for example, if there are four rotor cores 111, the four rotor rivets 12 are evenly spaced and distributed in the circumferential direction of the rotor core 111, i.e., the circumferential angle between two adjacent rotor rivets 12 is 90°, thereby making it possible to equalize the circumferential mounting force of the four rotor rivets 12 for each component of the rotor body 11, and avoiding the problem of the connecting force at local positions being too small or too large.

[0070] In some embodiments, the crimped portions 123 of each rotor rivet 12 are all located on the same axial side of the rotor core 111, i.e., when connecting and fitting to the rotor body 11 via multiple rotor rivets 12, multiple rotor rivets 12 can be attached from the same axial side of the rotor core 111 so that the heads 122 of the multiple rotor rivets 12 are all located on the first side of the rotor core 111 and the crimped portions 123 of the multiple rotor rivets 12 are all located on the second side of the rotor core 111. As shown in FIG. 3, the heads 122 of each rotor rivet 12 are all located on the left end surface of the rotor core 111, and the crimped portions 123 are all located on the right end surface of the rotor core 111.

[0071] After the rotor rivets 12 are driven through the rotor core 111, a radial crimping process must be performed. This allows multiple rotor rivets 12 to be assembled from the same side of the rotor core 111, and when the worker crimps the rotor rivets 12, after all of the rotor rivets 12 have been driven through, the crimping work can be performed simultaneously on the same side of the rotor core 111. In other words, there is no need to change or adjust the position of the crimp head when performing the crimping work on different rotor rivets 12, which maximizes the crimping efficiency and improves the assembly efficiency of the rotor assembly 1.

[0072] In some embodiments, the radial width W of the first balance weight is greater than 2D, where D is the diameter of the rod portion 121, i.e., the radial width of the first balance weight is greater than twice the diameter of the rod portion 121. As a result, when the first balance weight and the rod portion 121 are fitted together, it is necessary to provide a dowel hole in the first balance weight and set the gap between the rod portion 121 and the inner wall of the rivet hole a to 0.1 mm to 0.2 mm. Therefore, by setting the radial width of the first balance weight within the above range, it is possible to avoid the dimensional ratio of the dowel hole in the first balance weight becoming excessively large, which would affect the structural strength of the first balance weight, and ensure the structural stability of the first balance weight.

[0073] As a result, after the rotor rivet 12 is inserted into the first balance weight, the process of forming the crimped portion 123 by radial crimping does not significantly affect the structural state of the rotor rivet 12 and the first balance weight, i.e., there is no problem of significant structural fracture occurring in the first balance weight.

[0074] In some embodiments, the thickness of the end plate 112 interposed between the first balance weight and the rotor core 111 is 0.8 mm or more. That is, when actually installed, the thickness of the end plate 112 located between the first balance weight and the rotor core 111 is set to at least 0.8 mm, for example, 1 mm or 1.1 mm.

[0075] Here, by setting the thickness of this end plate 112 within the above range, the structural strength of the end plate 112 itself is effectively ensured, the problem of end plate 112 being significantly deformed during the crimping process of rotor rivet 12 is avoided, the crimping quality is ensured, and it contributes to reducing the discreteness of the natural frequency of rotor assembly 1. Of course, the thickness of end plate 112 should not be set excessively, and it is necessary to set the thickness of end plate 112 within a reasonable cost range.

[0076] In some embodiments, the thickness of the end plate 112 interposed between the first balance weight and the rotor core 111 is 0.8 mm or more. That is, when actually installed, the thickness of the end plate 112 located between the first balance weight and the rotor core 111 is set to at least 0.8 mm, for example, 1 mm or 1.1 mm.

[0077] Here, by setting the thickness of this end plate 112 within the above range, the structural strength of the end plate 112 itself is effectively ensured, the problem of end plate 112 being significantly deformed during the crimping process of rotor rivet 12 is avoided, the crimping quality is ensured, and it contributes to reducing the discreteness of the natural frequency of rotor assembly 1. Of course, the thickness of end plate 112 should not be set excessively, and it is necessary to set the thickness of end plate 112 within a reasonable cost range.

[0078] In addition, in some embodiments, the volume of the crimping portion 123 is equal to or greater than the volume of the head 122. This not only increases the structural strength and torsional resistance of the crimping portion 123, making it easier to form the crimped portion 123, but also reduces the risk of breakage or structural deformation of the crimping portion 123 when the crimping portion 123 crimps the first balance weight, improving the structural safety of the rotor rivet 12.

[0079] In this way, when the crimped portion 123 abuts against the side of the first balance weight to restrict its position, the crimped portion 123 exerts an excellent position restriction function and does not come off the first balance weight, improving the reliability of the crimped position restriction.

[0080] And / or, in some other embodiments, the diameter of the crimped portion 123 is equal to or larger than the diameter of the head 122, i.e., the cross-sectional area of ​​the crimped portion 123 is larger than the cross-sectional area of ​​the head 122. Similarly, the torsional resistance of the crimped portion 123 can be increased, i.e., the torsional resistance can be increased, which can prevent the crimped portion 123 from being displaced and broken relative to the rod portion 121 during rotation of the rotor assembly 1, and improve the safety of the structural design. By making the diameter of the crimped portion 123 larger than the diameter of the head 122, the crimped portion 123 has a larger positional limiting surface relative to the head 122, and the positional limiting effect is better.

[0081] After the rotor rivet 12 is inserted into the rotor body 11, as the rotation speed of the electric compressor 100 increases, the force received by the crimped portion 123 reaches a maximum. In addition, by setting the volume and / or diameter of the crimped portion 123 in the present application to be larger than that of the head portion 122, the crimped portion 123 is less likely to break even when subjected to a large pressure, and when a radial crimping process is adopted, the requirements for the crimping quality of the crimped portion 123 are lowered, which further contributes to reducing the cost of the radial crimping equipment and processing.

[0082] In some embodiments, the hardness of the rotor rivet 12 satisfies HRB50 to HRB200, for example, the hardness of the rotor rivet 12 is HRB70, HRB150. By setting the hardness of the rotor rivet 12 within the above range, it is possible to not only prevent the hardness from becoming too small, but also to ensure the crimping effect of the rotor rivet 12 in the rotor assembly 1, improve the crimping quality, and prevent the head 122 from being significantly deformed during crimping, and also to prevent the hardness from becoming too large, shorten the radial crimping time of the rotor rivet 12 during crimping, and improve the crimping efficiency.

[0083] The present application also proposes a permanent magnet synchronous motor.

[0084] A permanent magnet synchronous motor according to an embodiment of the present application includes a stator assembly and a rotor assembly 1 rotatable relative to the stator assembly, the rotor assembly 1 being the rotor assembly 1 described in any of the above embodiments. Here, the stator assembly includes a stator core and a winding, the rotor assembly 1 is installed inside the stator core, and the rotor assembly 1 is rotatable within the stator core.

[0085] Here, this permanent magnet synchronous motor is provided with the rotor assembly 1 of the above embodiment, and uses the first hole section 1131 and the second hole section 1132 of different hole diameters to respectively engage the rod portion 121 and the crimping portion 123 of the rotor rivet 12, which contributes to increasing the crimping depth and improving the stability of the crimping, and ensures that the structure of the crimping portion 123 is effectively supported by the outer peripheral wall of the second hole section 1132, prevents the crimping portion 123 from breaking against the rod portion 121, enhances the structural stability of the rotor rivet 12, improves the reliability of the rotor assembly 1, and ensures the working stability of the permanent magnet synchronous motor.

[0086] The present application also proposes an electric compressor 100.

[0087] According to electric compressor 100 of an embodiment of the present application, as shown in FIG. 9 , electric compressor 100 includes a compression member 3 and a drive member that drives compression member 3 so that compression member 3 performs a compression operation, and the drive member includes a permanent magnet synchronous motor according to the above-mentioned embodiment, and both compression member 3 and the drive member are provided within a housing member of electric compressor 100, and the housing member includes a high-pressure housing 41, a low-pressure housing 42, and a bracket 43 attached between the high-pressure housing 41 and the low-pressure housing 42.

[0088] 9, low-pressure housing 42 is attached to the left of bracket 43 and defines, together with bracket 43, a low-pressure cavity 421 for mounting a driving member, and is provided with a refrigerant inlet 422, while high-pressure housing 41 is attached to the right of bracket 43 and defines, together with bracket 43, a high-pressure cavity 411 for mounting a compression member, and is provided with a refrigerant discharge port 412. During operation of electric compressor 100, low-pressure refrigerant enters low-pressure cavity 421 from refrigerant inlet 422 of low-pressure housing 42, passes through bracket 43, enters compression member 3 and is compressed, and the compressed high-pressure refrigerant is discharged into high-pressure cavity 411 and is discharged to the outside of electric compressor 100 from refrigerant discharge port 412 of high-pressure housing 41. Also, as shown in Figure 9, a cover plate 44 is connected to the side of low-voltage housing 42 away from high-voltage housing 41, and an installation space is defined between cover plate 44 and low-voltage housing 42, and an electrical control member 5 for controlling the operating state of the permanent magnet synchronous motor is provided within the installation space.

[0089] Here, by providing the permanent magnet synchronous motor of the above-mentioned embodiment, the electric compressor 100 can ensure that the electric compressor 100 has a stable working state and that the driving member drives the operation of the compression member 3 accurately and reliably, thereby achieving a stable output of high-pressure refrigerant.

[0090] The present application also proposes an air conditioning system 200 .

[0091] According to an air-conditioning system 200 according to an embodiment of the present application, as shown in FIG. 10 , the air-conditioning system 200 is provided with the electric compressor 100 according to the above embodiment, and the electric compressor 100 is unlikely to stall in its operation due to a failure of the rotor assembly 1 while the electric compressor 100 is in operation. The provision of the electric compressor 100 makes the heat exchange function of the air-conditioning system 200 relatively stable, and enables the air-conditioning system 200 to adjust the temperature state in the space accurately and in a timely manner.

[0092] The present application also proposes a vehicle 1000 .

[0093] As shown in FIG. 10 , a vehicle 1000 according to an embodiment of the present application includes a vehicle body 300 and an air conditioning system 200 mounted in the vehicle body, where the vehicle air conditioning system 200 is the air conditioning system 200 in the above embodiment. By installing the air conditioning system 200 to perform air flow heat exchange in the internal space of the vehicle body 300, the spatial temperature within the vehicle body 300 can accurately meet the user's thermal needs, and improve the user's riding experience.

[0094] Hereinafter, a rotor assembly 1 according to some embodiments of the present application will be described with reference to the drawings.

[0095] 1, 2 and 11 to 13, a rotor assembly 1 according to an embodiment of the present application includes a rotor body 11 and a rotor rivet 12. Here, the rotor assembly 1 is used for attachment and fitting with a stator assembly, and when a permanent magnet synchronous motor is energized and running, the rotor assembly 1 is rotatable relative to the stator assembly, and thus outputs a driving force to compress air or perform other types of driving actions.

[0096] Here, as shown in Fig. 1, Fig. 2 and Fig. 11, the rotor body 11 includes a rotor core 111, an end plate 112 and a balance weight 113, and a permanent magnet is fitted in the rotor core 111. For example, a magnet groove is provided in the rotor core 111, and the permanent magnet can be attached to the magnet groove to realize attachment and fixation to the rotor core 111. In addition, during actual attachment, the rotor core 111 is attached in the stator assembly and is placed on the outside of the drive shaft 2 of the electric compressor 100. Thus, during operation of the electric compressor 100, electricity is passed through the windings of the stator assembly to generate a magnetic field that acts on the permanent magnet, rotating the rotor core 111, and ultimately moving the drive shaft 2 to output a driving force. The rotor core 111 has a laminated structure of silicon steel pieces, and it is necessary to provide a crimping point b in the core to perform form engagement between the layers. The engagement positions are uniformly distributed in the circumferential direction of the rotor core 111, and are located, for example, in an area close to the middle part in the radial direction of the rotor. As shown in FIG. 18, the area surrounded by the dotted line is the distribution area of ​​the crimping points b. However, the number of crimping points b can be four or eight. Since there is a gap between the crimping points b, the positions of the two "crimping points b" cannot be completely fixed on the plane, and a minimum of three is required, so the optimal number is four. The crimping points b are ultimately set in accordance with the positions shown in FIG. 18.

[0097] An end plate 112 is provided at each of the axial ends of the rotor core 111, and two end plates 112 are provided, one at each end of the rotor core 111 so as to be in close contact with the end face of the rotor core 111, and a balance weight 113 is provided on the side of at least one of the end plates 112 away from the rotor core 111. That is, as shown in Fig. 11, a balance weight 113 may be provided corresponding to one end plate 112, or as shown in Fig. 13, a balance weight 113 may be provided on both opposing side surfaces of the two end plates 112, so the number of balance weights 113 can be flexibly set according to actual needs.

[0098] The rotor rivet 12 penetrates the rotor body 11 along the axial direction in order to fix the rotor body 11 as a whole. As shown in Fig. 9 and Fig. 16, the rotor core 111, the end plates 112 and the balance weights 113 are all provided with hollow rivet holes a so that the rotor rivets 12 penetrate the rotor core 111, the end plates 112 and the balance weights 113 simultaneously, and thus each part of the rotor body 11 is connected to one whole, so that it is guaranteed that the rotor core 111, the end plates 112 and the balance weights 113 are relatively fixed in the axial direction of the rotor body 11, and the end plates 112 and the balance weights 113 are prevented from being separated relatively from the rotor core 111 during rotation of the rotor core 111, improving the structural stability of the rotor body 11.

[0099] Here, as shown in Fig. 15, the rotor rivet 12 includes a rod portion 121, a head portion 122, and a crimped portion 123, and the head portion 122 and the crimped portion 123 are located at both ends of the longitudinal direction of the rod portion 121. As shown in Fig. 15, the head portion 122 is connected to the upper end of the rod portion 121, and the crimped portion 123 is connected to the lower end of the rod portion 121. Note that the rotor rivet 12 includes the head portion 122 and the rod portion 121 at the time of initial molding, and after the rotor rivet 12 is crimped to the rotor body 11, the crimped portion 123 is processed by a crimping process so that the head portion 122 and the crimped portion 123 exert a position limiting function at both ends of the rotor body 11, and thus realizes a position limiting function in the axial direction for each member of the rotor body 11. As a result, by inserting the rotor rivet 12 into the rotor body 11, each structural component of the rotor body 11 is fixedly attached between the head 122 and the crimped portion 123 of the rotor rivet 12, thereby preventing the rotor body 11, end plate 112 and balance weight 113 from being separated relatively along the axial direction of the rotor body 11.

[0100] Here, the crimping portion 123 has a non-porous solid structure, i.e., there is no hollow area in the crimping portion 123 in the present application, so that the overall structural strength of the crimping portion 123 is increased, and problems such as torsional deformation in the hollow area of ​​the crimping portion 123 are avoided, the structural stability of the rotor rivet 12 is enhanced, and the crimping quality is guaranteed.

[0101] The tensile strength τ of the rotor rivet 12 is 0.2·τ≦M·r·π·(n / D) 2 / 225≦0.7·τ, r is the distance between the central axis of the rod portion 121 and the central axis of the rotor core 111, M is the mass of the balance weight 113, n is the maximum rotation speed of the rotor assembly 1, and D is the diameter of the rod portion 121. Note that M·r·π·(n / D) 2 / 225 is the shear stress that the rotor rivet 12 receives after it is attached to the rotor body 11. By setting the relationship between the shear stress and the tensile strength of the rotor rivet 12, the shear stress is controlled to be 0.2 to 0.7 times the tensile strength, for example, set to 0.4 or 0.6 times. As a result, after the rotor rivet 12 penetrates each structural member of the rotor body 11, even if the rotor assembly 1 maintains a high rotation speed during operation of the electric compressor 100, the rotor rivet 12 can maintain a good structural state, that is, the structure of the rotor rivet 12 does not easily break, and the need for use is met.

[0102] By setting the shear stress of the rotor rivet 12 and the tensile strength of the rotor rivet 12 within the above range, the position of the balance weight 113 is less likely to change, which in turn avoids the increase in the amount of unbalance under high-speed operating conditions and reduces vibration and noise, and when the electric compressor 100 operates at a relatively high rotation speed for a long period of time, the tangential and axial forces of the rotor rivet 12 meet the safety requirements, making the rotor rivet 12 less likely to break down, and making the volume as compact as possible under the premise that the mass of the balance weight 113 in the rotor meets the counterweight requirements. The rotor core 111, the balance weight 113, and the end plate 112 have rivet holes a for receiving the rotor rivets 12, which allows the parts of the rotor body 11 to be assembled simply and reliably, and the arrangement of the rivets minimizes the impact on the performance of the magnetic circuit of the motor.

[0103] The rotor assembly 1 according to the embodiment of the present application maximizes the optimization of the layout performance of the rotor assembly 1 by setting the relationship between the fitting parameters of each structural member of the rotor body 11 and the tensile strength of the rotor rivet 12, ensures the structural strength of the rotor rivet 12 during use, and effectively avoids the problem of the rotor rivet 12 easily breaking, making the structure of the rotor assembly 1 more compact and reliable, and ensuring the crimping quality.

[0104] In this embodiment, the rotor assembly 1 optimizes the relationship between each structural member and the tensile strength of the rotor rivet 12 so that the crimping quality between the rotor rivet 12, the rotor core 111, and the balance weight can be guaranteed after the rotor rivet 12 is inserted into the rotor core 111, and each member of the rotor body 11 can be stably connected. Therefore, when the demand for cooling output of the electric compressor 100 is large and the rotor core 111 rotates at high speed, the crimped portion 123 still maintains a good structural state, guaranteeing a stable and large cooling output of the electric compressor 100 and improving the operating stability of the electric compressor 100.

[0105] In some embodiments, when there are balance weights 113 on both sides of the rotor body 11 and the masses of the two balance weights 113 are different, the mass of the heavier of the two balance weights 113 is M, i.e., 0.2·τ≦M·r·π·(n / D) 2 M in / 225≦0.7·τ is the mass of the heavier of the two balance weights 113. This can better guarantee the structural strength of the rotor rivet 12 during use and better avoid the problem that the rotor rivet 12 is prone to breakage.

[0106] In some embodiments, the number of poles 114 on the rotor body 11 is A and the number of rotor rivets 12 is B, where B≦A. That is, the number of rotor rivets 12 installed is less than or equal to the number of poles 114 on the rotor body 11. If the number of poles 114 is set to 8, the number of rotor rivets 12 will be 8, 6 or 4.

[0107] As a result, under the premise of ensuring the crimping quality after connecting and fitting to the rotor body 11 via the rotor rivet 12 in this application, it is possible to minimize the number of rotor rivets 12 and reduce the installation cost, material cost, and processing cost of the rotor rivet 12. Of course, the number of rotor rivets 12 cannot be too small, such as one, either; that is, it is necessary to ensure that the rotor assembly 1 can be effectively positionally limited and fixed by the rotor rivet 12 at multiple different positions in the circumferential direction.

[0108] In a further embodiment, B≦A-2, that is, the number of installed rotor rivets 12 is equal to or less than the number of magnetic poles 114 of the rotor body 11 minus 2. If the number of magnetic poles 114 is set to 8, the number of rotor rivets 12 is 6 or 4. In this way, after the rotor rivets 12 and the rotor body 11 are fitted together, the number of installed rotor rivets 12 can not only ensure the crimping quality, but also reduce the installation cost of the rotor rivets 12.

[0109] In some embodiments, the rotor rivet 12 is located between two adjacent magnetic poles 114 of the rotor body 11, so that the installation of the rotor rivet 12 does not affect the magnetic poles 114 of the rotor body 11, thereby improving the rationality of the structural installation.

[0110] In a further embodiment, the rotor rivets 12 are multiple, and the multiple rotor rivets 12 are arranged at intervals along the circumferential direction of the rotor core 111. As shown in Fig. 12, the number of magnetic poles 114 of the rotor body 11 is set to eight, and the number of rotor rivets 12 is set to four, that is, the number of the rotor rivets 12 is less than the number of magnetic poles 114 of the rotor body 11. In actual arrangement, the eight magnetic poles 114 are evenly spaced apart and distributed in the circumferential direction of the rotor body 11, and the four rotor rivets 12 are also evenly spaced apart and distributed in the circumferential direction of the rotor body 11, that is, the circumferential angle between two adjacent rotor rivets 12 is 90°, so that the circumferential mounting force of the four rotor rivets 12 on each member of the rotor body 11 can be made uniform, and the problem of the connecting force at a local position being too small or too large can be avoided.

[0111] Furthermore, as shown in FIG. 12, the four rotor rivets 12 are evenly spaced and intersect between the eight magnetic poles 114, and the magnet grooves of the rotor core 111 are distributed in an approximately "V" shape. In this way, the magnetic poles 114 of the rotor body 11 are evenly distributed in the circumferential direction, and the number of rotor rivets 12 is also set relatively even, balancing the driving forces at each circumferential position of the rotor body 11 and balancing the crimping effects.

[0112] Also, the caulking portions 123 of each rotor rivet 12 are all located on the same axial side of the rotor core 111. That is, when connecting and fitting the rotor body 11 via a plurality of rotor rivets 12, the heads 122 of the plurality of rotor rivets 12 are all located on the first side of the rotor core 111, and the caulking portions 123 of the plurality of rotor rivets 12 are all located on the second side of the rotor core 111. Thus, the plurality of rotor rivets 12 can be attached from the same axial side of the rotor core 111. As shown in FIG. 11, the heads 122 of each rotor rivet 12 are all located on the left end face of the rotor core 111, and the caulking portions 123 are all located on the right end face of the rotor core 111.

[0113] Note that after the rotor rivets 12 are penetrated through the rotor core 111, it is necessary to perform a radial caulking process operation. Thereby, when incorporating a plurality of rotor rivets 12 from the same side of the rotor core 111, when an operator caulks the rotor rivets 12, after all the plurality of rotor rivets 12 are penetrated, the caulking operation can be performed on the plurality of rotor rivets 12 simultaneously from the same side of the rotor core 111. That is, when performing the caulking operation on different rotor rivets 12, there is no need to change or adjust the position of the caulking head, the caulking efficiency is greatly improved, and the assembly efficiency of the rotor assembly 1 is improved.

[0114] In some embodiments, as shown in FIGS. 18 to 21, the outer radius of the rotor core 111 is R, and 0.5 < r / R < 0.9, where r is the distance between the central axis of the rod portion 121 and the central axis of the rotor core 111. That is, the ratio of the distance between the central axis of the rod portion 121 and the central axis of the rotor core 111 to the outer radius of the rotor core 111 is greater than 0.5 and less than 0.9, and is set to, for example, 0.6, 0.7, or 0.8.

[0115] Here, as shown in FIG. 22, when the ratio of r / R changes, the cross-sectional area of ​​the balance weight 113 changes, and the height of the balance weight 113 changes. Here, as r / R gradually increases, the height of the balance weight 113 gradually decreases, and when the ratio of r / R exceeds 0.9, the width of the balance weight 113 is insufficient, and after the rotor rivet 12 is radially crimped, the crimped portion 123 protrudes into the external space of the rotor body 11. Also, when the ratio of r / R decreases, the cross-sectional area of ​​the balance weight 113 decreases, and when the weight of the balance weight 113 does not change, the height of the balance weight 113 increases. However, referring to the cross-sectional view of FIG. 9, the distance between the balance weight 113 and the bearing fixing position of the compressor is limited, and when the height of the balance weight 113 exceeds 12 mm, the compressor needs to increase its axial length, and the volume and weight increase accordingly.

[0116] Therefore, in the present application, the ratio of r / R is limited to the range of 0.6 to 0.9, thereby making the height of balance weight 113 sufficiently small and making the radial width of balance weight 113 sufficiently large, thereby ensuring sufficient space to install crimped portion 123 after radial crimping.

[0117] Furthermore, when the ratio of r / R is set to 0.7, the rotor rivets 12 can be located between the magnetic poles 114 and can be arranged at a distance in the circumferential direction from the position of the crimping point b. In this way, the number of rotor rivets 12 meets the assembly demands of the rotor assembly 1, and the arrangement is symmetrical, improving the symmetry of the entire rotor magnetic path.

[0118] In some embodiments, the value of diameter D of rod portion 121 ranges from 3 mm to 6 mm, and for example, the diameter of rod portion 121 is 4 mm or 5 mm. Note that rod portion 121 is for fitting into rivet hole a, and the gap between rod portion 121 and the inner wall of rivet hole a is 0.1 mm to 0.2 mm, that is, the hole diameter of rivet hole a changes according to the diameter of rod portion 121 so that the two are fitted together within a reasonable fitting gap range.

[0119] In addition, when the diameter of the rivet hole a changes, the direction of the magnetic line of the motor's magnetic path, magnetic resistance and inductance change accordingly, and the AC-DC inductance value appears in the motor control. Here, when the ratio of r / R is close to 0.7, the rivet hole a is located in the middle of the two magnetic poles 114, and the material of the rivet pin can use No. 10 cold heading steel or a nearby number, and the magnetic permeability is lower than that of silicon steel or close to that of air, at this time the magnetic resistance in the rotor's magnetic path direction increases, and the value of the cross-axis inductance decreases accordingly, and the value of the direct-axis inductance does not change significantly, so the difference in the cross-axis inductance is small according to the change in the diameter of the rivet pin.

[0120] As shown in Fig. 23, this is the change in motor AC / DC inductance when the diameter of the rod portion 121 is increased from 3.2 mm to 6 mm. As can be seen from the drawing, when the diameter of the rod portion 121 is larger than 4 mm, the value of the AC / DC inductance drops sharply, the difference between the AC / DC inductances also drops accordingly, the reluctance torque supplied from the rotor drops correspondingly, and the power density of the motor drops. Therefore, by setting the diameter of the rod portion 121 within the above range, the power density of the motor can be kept at a constant level.

[0121] In some embodiments, at least one balance weight 113 is the third balance weight, that is, the balance weight 113 of the rotor body 11 in the present application may be one as shown in Fig. 11, or may be two as shown in Fig. 13. Here, when one balance weight 113 is set, this balance weight 113 can be set as the third balance weight, and when two balance weights 113 are set, one or both of the balance weights 113 can be set as the third balance weight.

[0122] Here, the third balance weight is provided with a crimping portion 123; that is, after the rotor rivet 12 is inserted into the rotor body 11, the end of the rod portion 121 away from the head 122 extends away from the end plate 112 of the third balance weight, and at this time, the end of the rod portion 121 is radially crimped with a radial crimping punch, whereby the end of the rod portion 121 is processed into the crimping portion 123, and the crimping portion 123 is pressed against the surface of the third balance weight with its position restricted, thereby realizing positional fixation of the third balance weight, the end plate 112, and the rotor core 111.

[0123] In some embodiments, the diameter of rod portion 121 is D and the maximum diameter of crimped portion 123 is D0, where 1.2D≦D0≦2D, i.e., the maximum diameter of crimped portion 123 is greater than 1.2 times the diameter of rod portion 121 and less than twice the diameter of rod portion 121, e.g., D0 is set to 1.4D, 1.6D or 1.7D.

[0124] Here, the structural dimensions of the crimping portion 123 and the structural dimensions of the rod portion 121 are set within the above-mentioned dimensional range, and the crimping portion 123 and the second hole section can have a relatively large fitting depth and fitting area, thereby improving the crimping stability and ensuring the crimping quality of the rotor rivet 12. In addition, the radial dimension of the crimping portion 123 is not excessively large, and the crimping portion 123 does not excessively extend outside the second hole section, which saves material and prevents other quality problems caused by the crimping portion 123 protruding from the outer radius of the rotor core 111 after crimping, thereby improving the rationality of the structural design.

[0125] As a result, the provision of the crimping portion 123 can achieve both crimping quality and material saving effects.

[0126] In some embodiments, as shown in FIG. 2, the radial width W of the third balance weight is larger than 2D, i.e., the radial width of the third balance weight is larger than twice the diameter of the rod portion 121. As a result, when the third balance weight and the rod portion 121 are fitted together, it is necessary to provide a dowel hole in the third balance weight and set the gap between the rod portion 121 and the inner wall of the rivet hole a to 0.1 mm to 0.2 mm. Therefore, by setting the radial width of the third balance weight within the above range, it is possible to avoid the dimensional ratio of the dowel hole in the third balance weight becoming excessively large, which would affect the structural strength of the third balance weight, and ensure the structural stability of the third balance weight.

[0127] As a result, after the rotor rivet 12 is inserted into the third balance weight, the process of forming the crimped portion 123 by radial crimping does not significantly affect the structural state of the rotor rivet 12 and the third balance weight, i.e., there is no problem of significant structural fracture occurring in the third balance weight.

[0128] In some embodiments, the thickness of the end plate 112 interposed between the third balance weight and the rotor core 111 is 0.8 mm or more. That is, when actually installed, the thickness of the end plate 112 located between the third balance weight and the rotor core 111 is set to at least 0.8 mm, for example, 1 mm or 1.1 mm.

[0129] Here, by setting the thickness of this end plate 112 within the above range, the structural strength of the end plate 112 itself is effectively ensured, the problem of end plate 112 being significantly deformed during the crimping process of rotor rivet 12 is avoided, the crimping quality is ensured, and it contributes to reducing the discreteness of the natural frequency of rotor assembly 1. Of course, the thickness of end plate 112 should not be set excessively, and it is necessary to set the thickness of end plate 112 within a reasonable cost range.

[0130] In addition, in some embodiments, the volume of the crimping portion 123 is equal to or greater than the volume of the head 122, so that not only is the structural strength and torsional resistance of the crimping portion 123 great and crimping molding easy, but also problems such as fracture or structural deformation of the crimping portion 123 are unlikely to occur when the crimping portion 123 crimps the third balance weight, improving the structural safety of the rotor rivet 12.

[0131] In this way, when the crimped portion 123 abuts against the side of the third balance weight to restrict its position, the crimped portion 123 exerts an excellent position restriction function and the crimped portion 123 does not come off the third balance weight, improving the reliability of the crimped position restriction.

[0132] And / or, in some other embodiments, the diameter of the crimped portion 123 is equal to or larger than the diameter of the head 122, i.e., the cross-sectional area of ​​the crimped portion 123 is larger than the cross-sectional area of ​​the head 122. Similarly, the torsional resistance of the crimped portion 123 can be increased, i.e., the torsional resistance can be increased, which can prevent the crimped portion 123 from being displaced and broken relative to the rod portion 121 during rotation of the rotor assembly 1, and improve the safety of the structural design. By making the diameter of the crimped portion 123 larger than the diameter of the head 122, the crimped portion 123 has a larger positional limiting surface relative to the head 122, and the positional limiting effect is better.

[0133] After the rotor rivet 12 is inserted into the rotor body 11, as the rotation speed of the electric compressor 100 increases, the force received by the crimped portion 123 reaches a maximum. In addition, by setting the volume and / or diameter of the crimped portion 123 in the present application to be larger than that of the head portion 122, the crimped portion 123 is less likely to break even when subjected to a large pressure, and when a radial crimping process is adopted, the requirements for the crimping quality of the crimped portion 123 are lowered, which further contributes to reducing the cost of the radial crimping equipment and processing.

[0134] In some embodiments, the hardness of the rotor rivet 12 satisfies HRB50 to HRB200, for example, the hardness of the rotor rivet 12 is HRB70, HRB150. By setting the hardness of the rotor rivet 12 within the above range, it is possible to not only prevent the hardness from becoming too small, but also to ensure the crimping effect of the rotor rivet 12 in the rotor assembly 1, improve the crimping quality, and prevent the head 122 from being significantly deformed during crimping, and also to prevent the hardness from becoming too large, shorten the radial crimping time of the rotor rivet 12 during crimping, and improve the crimping efficiency.

[0135] The present application also proposes a permanent magnet synchronous motor.

Here, the stator assembly includes a stator core and a winding, the rotor assembly 1 is installed inside the stator core, and the rotor assembly 1 is rotatable within the stator core.

[0137] Here, in this permanent magnet synchronous motor, by setting the relationship between the fitting parameters of each structural member of the rotor body 11 and the tensile strength of the rotor rivet 12, the layout performance of the rotor assembly 1 is maximized, the structural strength of the rotor rivet 12 during use is ensured, the problem of the rotor rivet 12 being easily broken is well avoided, the structure of the rotor assembly 1 is made more compact and reliable, the rivet quality is guaranteed, and the operating stability of the permanent magnet synchronous motor is improved.

Also, as shown in Figure 16, a cover plate 44 is connected to the side of the low-voltage housing 42 away from the high-voltage housing 41, and an installation space is defined between the cover plate 44 and the low-voltage housing 42, and an electrical control member 5 for controlling the operating state of the permanent magnet synchronous motor is provided within the installation space.
