Description

A magnetic levitation motor Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of magnetic levitation motor rotor heat dissipation, and in particular to a magnetic levitation motor. Background Art

[0002] Compared with traditional motors that use rolling bearings and sliding bearings, magnetic levitation motors use electromagnetic force to achieve contactless support of the rotor. Since there is no physical contact, the rotor can reach a very high speed and has the advantages of low mechanical wear, low energy consumption, low noise, and long life. It is particularly suitable for special environments such as high speed and vacuum, and is widely used in spacecraft stability control, flywheel energy storage, centrifugal compressors and other fields.

[0003] During operation, the rotors of a magnetic levitation motor and its magnetic bearings generate heat. Relying solely on natural cooling can easily lead to overheating of the rotors. This is especially true with the advancement of magnetic levitation motor technology, where motor speeds have gradually increased. To reduce rotor wind friction losses, magnetic levitation motors are typically vacuumed internally. However, this high vacuum environment blocks the rotor's heat dissipation channels, making it difficult for the heat generated by the rotors to be dissipated through convection or radiation. Furthermore, as the power of magnetic levitation motors increases, the heat generated by the motors and magnetic bearing rotors gradually increases. If the motor or magnetic bearing rotors are not properly cooled, performance degradation or even demagnetization due to high temperatures can occur. Therefore, rotor heat dissipation in a vacuum environment has become a key factor restricting the development of magnetic levitation motor technology.

[0004] Existing solutions for dissipating heat from magnetic levitation motor rotors in vacuum conditions primarily rely on circulating a gas-liquid phase-change cooling medium within a hollow shaft between the cooling and heating ends to absorb and release rotor heat. This heat dissipation solution requires complex phase-change cooling medium sealing technologies (such as magnetic fluid seals) to prevent leakage of the phase-change cooling medium into the vacuum chamber. Alternatively, existing solutions utilize the circulation of coolant within a hollow shaft to cool the rotor. However, this rotor heat dissipation solution has a small contact area between the coolant and the shaft, resulting in low heat dissipation efficiency and unsuitable for high-power magnetic levitation motor rotors.

[0005] Due to the difficulty in dissipating heat from the magnetic levitation motor rotor in a vacuum environment, the magnets can easily lose their magnetism due to high temperatures, limiting the power increase of the magnetic levitation motor. Therefore, how to provide a magnetic levitation motor that can better dissipate heat from the magnetic levitation motor rotor is an urgent problem to be solved in this field.

[0035] The magnetic levitation motor provided by the present invention includes a vacuum housing, a rotating shaft, a motor rotor, a motor stator, a magnetic bearing, and a cooling unit; the rotating shaft is rotatably arranged in the vacuum housing, the motor rotor is located in the vacuum housing and fixed on the rotating shaft; the motor stator is located in the vacuum housing and fixed on the vacuum housing, and is arranged corresponding to the motor rotor; a liquid storage tank is provided at the bottom of the vacuum housing, and a liquid medium is stored in the liquid storage tank; a hollow channel is opened in the interior of the rotating shaft along the axial direction, and the top of the rotating shaft is closed; A liquid spray hole is provided at the upper end of the rotating shaft, which radially penetrates the rotating shaft and communicates with the hollow channel. A rotating body is connected to the bottom of the rotating shaft, which is immersed in the liquid medium, to draw the liquid medium into the hollow channel and spray the liquid medium onto the inner wall of the vacuum shell through the liquid spray hole. A cooling water channel is provided on the wall of the vacuum shell. The cooling unit is also provided outside the vacuum shell and communicates with the cooling water channel to inject coolant into the cooling water channel to cool the vacuum shell. When the magnetic levitation motor is operated by the rotating shaft, the rotating body draws the liquid medium into the hollow channel and sprays the liquid medium outward through the liquid spray hole provided at the upper end of the rotating shaft. Under the action of gravity, the liquid medium can flow back into the liquid reservoir to form a cycle. The heat generated by the rotor is transferred to the vacuum housing by the circulation of the liquid medium between the rotating shaft and the vacuum housing, thereby realizing an internal cooling cycle; the external cooling cycle is realized by the circulation of the coolant between the vacuum housing and the cooling unit; and the combined action of the internal cooling cycle and the external cooling cycle better improves the heat dissipation effect on the rotor.

[0036] Please refer to Figures 1 to 4 . This embodiment provides a magnetic levitation motor 100, which includes a vacuum housing 10, a rotating shaft 20, a motor rotor 30, a motor stator 40, a magnetic bearing 60, and a cooling unit 50. The rotating shaft 20 is rotatably disposed within the vacuum housing 10, the motor rotor 30 is located within the vacuum housing 10 and fixed to the rotating shaft 20, and the motor stator 40 is located within the vacuum housing 10 and fixed to the vacuum housing 10, with the motor stator 40 being disposed corresponding to the motor rotor 30.

[0037] A liquid reservoir is provided at the bottom of the vacuum shell 10, in which a liquid medium 11 is stored. A hollow channel 211 is provided axially inside the rotating shaft 20, and the top of the rotating shaft 20 is closed. A liquid spray hole 212 is provided at the upper portion of the rotating shaft 20 (the end near the top), which radially penetrates the rotating shaft 20 and communicates with the hollow channel 211. A rotating body 214 is connected to the end of the rotating shaft 20 that extends into the liquid medium to draw the liquid medium 11 into the hollow channel 211, and spray the liquid medium 11 onto the inner wall of the vacuum shell 10 through the liquid spray hole 212, and then return it to the liquid reservoir.

[0038] Because the rotating body 214 at the bottom of the rotating shaft 20 is immersed in the liquid medium 11, when the rotating shaft 20 rotates, the high-speed operation of the rotating body 214 creates a pumping effect, which pumps the liquid medium 11 from the bottom of the vacuum housing 10 to the top of the rotating shaft 20. The liquid medium 11 is then ejected onto the inner wall of the vacuum housing 10 through the liquid spray holes 212 provided on the rotating shaft 20. Under the action of gravity, the liquid medium 11 flows back to the bottom of the vacuum housing 10. Through the continuous pumping action of the rotating shaft 20, the liquid medium 11 circulates between the rotating shaft 20 and the vacuum housing 10. The motor rotor 30 transfers heat to the rotating shaft 20, which in turn transfers heat to the liquid medium 11. The liquid medium 11 then transfers heat to the vacuum housing 10, thereby achieving an internal cooling cycle.

[0039] The wall of the vacuum housing 10 is provided with a cooling water channel 12. The cooling unit 50 is in communication with the cooling water channel 12 for injecting coolant into the cooling water channel 12. The cooling unit 50 provides power to deliver the coolant into the cooling water channel 12. The cooling unit 50 circulates the coolant between the vacuum housing 10 and the cooling unit 50, thereby achieving an external cooling cycle and dissipating heat from the vacuum housing 10.

[0040] The magnetic bearing 60 is disposed in the vacuum housing 10 .

[0041] It is understandable that in the prior art, heat dissipation systems or methods for magnetic levitation motor rotors under vacuum conditions mainly include methods such as oil cooling in the shaft hole, phase change medium cooling, and extended surface enhanced radiation heat dissipation. Among them, oil cooling in the shaft hole mainly uses the circulation of coolant in the hollow shaft to cool the rotor. This rotor heat dissipation method has a small contact area between the coolant and the shaft, resulting in low heat dissipation efficiency and is not suitable for high-power magnetic levitation motor rotor heat dissipation. Phase change medium cooling mainly relies on the circulation of gas-liquid phase change cooling medium encapsulated in the hollow shaft between the cooling end and the heating end to absorb and release rotor heat. In this heat dissipation method, the phase change cooling medium easily leaks into the vacuum chamber, requiring complex phase change cooling medium sealing technology (such as magnetic fluid sealing). Due to the low radiation heat transfer efficiency in a high vacuum environment, the extended surface enhanced radiation heat dissipation method requires a larger area of ​​radiation heat exchange structure, resulting in increased shaft length and complex structure.

[0042] In the magnetic levitation motor 100 provided in this embodiment, the heat generated by the rotor in a vacuum environment is transferred to the vacuum housing 10 through the combined action of an internal cooling cycle and an external cooling cycle. The external cooling unit 50 then provides the coolant to cool the vacuum housing 10. This conduction of heat generated by the rotor in a vacuum environment to the exterior of the vacuum housing 10 effectively cools the rotor. This magnetic levitation motor 100 has the advantages of a simple structure, reliable heat exchange, and high heat dissipation efficiency, effectively resolving the heat dissipation challenge faced by the rotor in a vacuum environment.

[0043] Specifically, in one embodiment, the liquid medium 11 may be thermal oil.

[0044] Specifically, in one embodiment, the specific connection structure between the motor rotor 30 and the rotating shaft 20 is: the motor rotor 30 is assembled on the rotating shaft 20 by interference fit.

[0045] Preferably, in one embodiment, the magnetic bearing 60 includes a radial magnetic bearing 61, the radial magnetic bearing 61 is located in the vacuum housing 10, and the rotor of the radial magnetic bearing 61 is fixed to the rotating shaft 20, and the stator of the radial magnetic bearing 61 is fixed to the vacuum housing 10. Specifically, two radial magnetic bearings 61 are provided, and the two radial magnetic bearings 61 are respectively located on both sides of the axial direction of the motor (the motor rotor 30 and the motor stator 40 together constitute the motor).

[0046] Specifically, in one embodiment, the specific connection structure between the rotor of the radial magnetic bearing 61 and the rotating shaft 20 is: the rotor of the radial magnetic bearing 61 is assembled on the rotating shaft 20 by interference fit.

[0047] Preferably, in one embodiment, the magnetic bearing 60 further includes a thrust magnetic bearing 62 located in the vacuum housing 10 , the rotor of the thrust magnetic bearing 62 is fixed on the rotating shaft 20 , and the stator of the thrust magnetic bearing 62 is fixed on the vacuum housing 10 .

[0048] Specifically, in one embodiment, the specific connection structure between the rotor of the thrust magnetic bearing 62 and the rotating shaft 20 is: the rotor of the thrust magnetic bearing 62 is assembled on the rotating shaft 20 by interference fit.

[0049] Preferably, in one embodiment, the magnetic levitation motor 100 further includes a protective bearing 80 located within the vacuum housing 10. The protective bearing 80 is rotatably mounted between the rotating shaft 20 and the vacuum housing 10, and is used to support the motor rotor 30 in a stationary or unstable state. Specifically, two protective bearings 80 are provided, located at the upper and lower ends of the rotating shaft 20. Specifically, the height of the liquid medium 11 in the liquid reservoir does not exceed the protective bearing 80 located at the lower end.

[0050] Preferably, in one embodiment, the rotating body 214 is fixed to the bottom of the rotating shaft 20 and immersed in the liquid medium 11. The rotating body 214 is provided with a suction groove 2140 connected to the hollow channel 211. The suction groove 2140 is used to suck up the liquid medium 11 and deliver it into the hollow channel 211. When the rotating shaft 20 rotates, the rotating shaft 20 drives the rotating body 214 to rotate at high speed. The high-speed operation of the rotating body 214 creates a suction effect that delivers the liquid medium 11 into the hollow channel 211 through the suction groove 2140.

[0051] Preferably, in one embodiment, the rotating body 214 is conical. When the rotating body 214 rotates at a high speed, the liquid medium 11 forms a vortex, and the conical shape of the rotating body 214 can reduce the stirring friction between the rotating body 214 and the liquid medium 11.

[0052] Preferably, in one embodiment, the extraction groove 2140 includes a spiral groove 2141 and a connecting hole 2142. There are two spiral grooves 2141, and the two spiral grooves 2141 are centrally symmetrically spirally arranged on the rotating body 214. The connecting hole 2142 is arranged axially and is respectively connected with the spiral groove 2141 and the hollow channel 211. Through this structure, when the rotating body 214 rotates, the liquid medium 11 can be more smoothly extracted and sent into the hollow channel 211. Specifically, the spiral groove 2141 is opened on the surface of the rotating body 214 and extends axially, and the spiral groove 2141 is connected with the connecting hole 2142. More specifically, in one embodiment, a notch is milled on the surface of the rotating body 214, and the spiral groove 2141 is connected between the notch and the connecting hole 2142.

[0053] It should be noted that in one embodiment, the rotating body 214 is conical, and the extraction channel is the spiral groove 2141 formed on the conical surface. Of course, in other embodiments, the rotating body 214 may have other shapes, and the extraction channel may be multi-channel or have other shapes. It is sufficient that the rotation of the rotating shaft 20 can extract the liquid medium 11, achieving self-circulation and heat dissipation of the medium between the rotor and the vacuum housing 10.

[0054] Specifically, in one embodiment, the rotating body 214 is assembled to the bottom of the rotating shaft 20 by interference fit. More specifically, the rotating body 214 is assembled to the bottom of the rotating shaft 20 by interference fit with the stepped stop of the cylindrical boss.

[0055] Preferably, in one embodiment, a plurality of the liquid spray holes 212 are provided, and all the liquid spray holes 212 are circumferentially and evenly spaced on the rotating shaft 20 , that is, all the liquid spray holes 212 are circumferentially and evenly spaced on the rotating shaft 20 .

[0056] Preferably, in one embodiment, the inner wall of the vacuum housing 10 is provided with a plurality of semicircular grooves extending vertically therethrough. After the vacuum housing 10 is assembled with the stator of the magnetic bearing 60 and the motor stator 40, the semicircular grooves form an oil return channel 13. After the liquid medium 11 is ejected from the liquid spray hole 212 into the vacuum housing 10, gravity causes the liquid medium 11 to flow back into the liquid reservoir along the oil return channel 13.

[0057] Preferably, in one embodiment, the cooling water channel 12 is arranged in a spiral shape, so as to further improve the cooling effect of the coolant on the vacuum housing 10 .

[0058] Preferably, in one embodiment, the cooling water channel 12 is provided in an area corresponding to the liquid spray hole 212 and extending to the liquid reservoir. That is, the cooling water channel 12 extends from the upper end of the vacuum housing 10 to the bottom of the vacuum housing 10. This ensures that the flow area of ​​the coolant corresponds to the flow area of ​​the liquid medium 11 in the vacuum housing 10, further enhancing the cooling effect of the coolant on the vacuum housing 10.

[0059] Specifically, in one embodiment, the cooling unit 50 is connected to the cooling water channel 12 via a coolant pipe 51. The water inlet and outlet of the cooling water channel 12 may be provided at the top and bottom of the wall of the vacuum housing 10. The cooling unit 50 is connected to the water inlet and outlet of the cooling water channel 12 via the coolant pipe 51, respectively, so that the coolant circulates between the vacuum housing 10 and the cooling unit 50.

[0060] In one embodiment, the heat generated during operation by the motor rotor 30, the rotor of the radial magnetic bearing 61, and the rotor of the thrust magnetic bearing 62 is transferred to the rotating shaft 20. The rotation of the rotating shaft 20 draws and ejects the liquid medium 11, thereby transferring the heat of the rotating shaft 20 to the vacuum housing 10 through the liquid medium 11. The heat generated during operation by the motor stator 40, the stator of the radial magnetic bearing 61, and the stator of the thrust magnetic bearing 62 is directly transferred to the vacuum housing 10, which is then cooled by the coolant provided by the cooling unit 50. In this way, through the combined action of the internal cooling cycle and the external cooling cycle, the heat generated during operation of the magnetic levitation motor is transferred to the outside of the vacuum housing 10, achieving effective cooling of the rotor.

[0061] The magnetic levitation motor 100 forms an internal cooling cycle through motor operation and the cooling unit 50 provides water cooling. There is no need to add a large-area radiation heat exchange structure on the rotating shaft, and there is no need to use complex magnetic fluid sealing technology to specially seal the phase change cooling medium. The heat generated by the rotor can be transferred to the outside of the magnetic levitation motor. The heat dissipation structure is simple, the heat exchange method is reliable, and the heat dissipation efficiency is high. It is particularly suitable for solving the heat dissipation problem of the rotor of a high-power magnetic levitation motor in a vacuum environment.

[0062] When the magnetic levitation motor 100 is working, an external vacuum pump draws vacuum from the output shaft end side of the rotating shaft 20 and the vacuum housing 10 (i.e., the protective bearing 80 located on the upper side) to maintain the vacuum environment inside the vacuum housing 10.

[0063] The above description is only an embodiment of the present invention. It should be pointed out that those skilled in the art can make improvements without departing from the creative concept of the present invention, but these improvements all fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.
