Description

A circumferentially arranged variable series flux motor Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of electric motors, and in particular to a circumferentially arranged variable series magnetic flux motor. Background Art

[0002] In the field of motor technology, commonly used motors are radial or axial flux motors, which drive the rotor to rotate through radial flux and axial flux respectively. The principle is mainly to change the current direction of the excitation coil, continuously change the direction of the magnetic flux generated by the excitation coil, and cooperate with the magnet to realize the rotation of the rotor.

[0003] However, the inventors are aware that most electric motors require current commutation in the excitation coil during use. When current commutation occurs, eddy currents and temperature rise are generated in the enameled wire and magnetic steel of the excitation coil. Especially when the motor is running at high speed, the temperature rise will be obvious, and high temperature will increase the resistance and seriously reduce the efficiency of the motor. In addition, some electric motors need to be equipped with larger heat dissipation holes or heat dissipation fans for cooling, which increases costs.

[0004] Therefore, people are in urgent need of a circumferentially arranged variable pole flux motor that can output unidirectional current to enable the motor to operate quickly with higher torque and efficiency while reducing energy consumption during high-speed operation. Summary of the Invention

By controlling the on and off of the excitation coil in a regular alternating manner, the position of the excitation flux is continuously changed, and then the rotation of the rotor is completed in coordination with the magnet, and the current of the combined flux is a current in the same direction, thereby reducing energy consumption.

[0006] To achieve the above-mentioned objectives, the present invention provides the following solutions: The present invention provides a circumferentially arranged variable series magnetic flux motor, comprising a motor stator and a motor rotor, wherein the motor rotor is located on one axial side of the motor stator, and the motor stator or the motor rotor is provided with a plurality of excitation coils with magnetic poles arranged along the circumferential direction of the motor shaft, and the plurality of excitation coils are evenly wound around the motor stator or the motor rotor along the circumference, and at least two adjacent excitation coils can be combined to form a combined magnetic flux when energized at the same time, and at least two combined magnetic fluxes are provided on the motor stator or the motor rotor, and at least one excitation coil is spaced between adjacent combined magnetic fluxes, and the plurality of excitation coils are respectively connected to a control system circuit board for controlling the power on and off of the excitation coils at the ends, and the motor rotor or the motor stator without the combined magnetic flux is provided with an arc-shaped magnet coaxial with the excitation coil, and the two magnetic poles of the magnet are arranged along the circumference of the motor shaft and parallel to the effective range of the excitation coil magnetic flux.

[0018] The following will clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0019] The purpose of the present invention is to provide a circumferentially arranged variable series flux motor to solve the problems existing in the prior art. By controlling the on and off of the excitation coil in a regular alternating manner, the position of the excitation flux is continuously changed, and then the rotation of the rotor is completed in coordination with the magnet, the current of the combined flux is a current in the same direction, and the eddy current loss is reduced.

[0020] In order to make the above-mentioned objects, features and advantages of the present invention more obvious and easy to understand, the present invention is further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0021] Example 1:

[0022] Please refer to Figures 1 to 7, which provide a circumferentially arranged variable series flux motor, including two motor stators 1 and a motor rotor 2 arranged in a motor housing, the two motor stators 1 are respectively located on both sides of the axial direction of the motor rotor 2, wherein the motor stator 1 includes a magnetic steel ring 7 and six excitation coils 3 arranged along the circumference of the motor shaft, the six excitation coils 3 are evenly wound around the magnetic steel ring 7 along the circumference, the magnetic steel ring 7 can be made of rolled laminated magnetic steel or integral silicon steel, electrical iron, two adjacent excitation coils 3 are combined to form a combined magnetic flux, two combined magnetic fluxes are arranged on the magnetic steel ring 7, and there is an excitation coil 3 between adjacent combined magnetic fluxes, the two excitation coils 3 located in the combined magnetic flux are energized, and the excitation coil 3 located between the two combined magnetic fluxes is not energized, the six excitation coils 3 are respectively connected to the control system, the control system is a circuit board, and the rotor support of the motor rotor 2 An arc-shaped magnet 4 is provided on the frame 8, and the two magnetic poles of the magnet 4 are arranged along the circumference of the motor shaft. The motor rotor 2 is located on the axial side of the motor stator 1. The magnet 4 is arranged corresponding to the excitation coil 3, and the magnet 4 and the excitation coil 3 are arranged coaxially; the control system controls the power on and off of the heads and tails of the six excitation coils 3, thereby forming two regularly moving combined magnetic fluxes on the motor stator 1, and the combined magnetic flux interacts with the magnet 4 on the motor rotor 2 to enable the motor rotor 2 to operate. Since the combined magnetic flux has magnetic poles in the same direction, the current direction of the combined magnetic flux must be set to the same. Therefore, compared with the method known to the inventor in which high-speed current conversion is required to control coils in different positions to generate magnetic fluxes in different directions to control the rotor, this method can effectively reduce the motor temperature, reduce the power loss caused by the heating of the conductor, and reduce the heat dissipation cost; the motor corresponding to this method is a DC motor.

[0023] The magnet 4 is a permanent magnet and is embedded in the rotor bracket 8 .

[0024] When the magnets 4 are distributed relatively loosely, magnetic wings 5 ​​are provided on both sides of the magnets 4 to increase the effective range of the magnets 4 . When the magnets 4 are distributed relatively densely, the magnetic wings 5 ​​are not required.

[0025] The magnetic steel ring 7 and the magnetic wings 5 ​​can be made of high-quality motor steel commonly used in the market, such as rolled silicon steel or electrical iron (high purity iron), while the rotor bracket 8 can be made of engineering plastics such as high-strength nylon or other suitable materials.

[0026] A plurality of claw poles 6 may be provided on the end face of the magnetic steel ring 7 of the motor stator 1 close to the motor rotor 2. The claw poles 6 are T-shaped claw poles or straight-leg claw poles. If the manufacturing cost and process are mature and permitted, the claw poles 6 may also be provided as a plurality of T-shaped claw poles connected to each other at both ends to form a continuous H-shaped claw pole. When a straight-leg claw pole or clawless pole setting is selected, or a split stator is adopted, the permanent magnets 4 and the magnetic wings 5 ​​should be appropriately adjusted.

[0027] The combined magnetic flux and the magnet 4 have two corresponding motion relationships, one is a motion in which the two are completely separated, and the other is a motion in which the two are partially interlaced.

[0028] When the claw pole 6 is set, it will block the two excitation coils 3 on both sides. In order to avoid the influence of the gap caused by the blockage on the merging of the magnetic flux, the ends of the excitation coils 3 on both sides of the claw pole 6 are wound at an angle to each other, and the inclined ends of the excitation coils 3 on both sides are staggered and contacted on the end surface of the magnetic ring 7 where the claw pole 6 is not set. This is more conducive to the merging of the magnetic flux generated after the two excitation coils 3 are energized.

[0029] The principle of combined magnetic flux formation is as follows: the series-connected excitation coils 3, which can combine magnetic flux, utilize a special mechanism that exploits certain similarities between magnetic flux and current, namely the property that N- and S-level magnetic lines of force seek the shortest path to connect. For example, when A1 and A2 are energized simultaneously, they form a combined magnetic flux, with the poles located at the end of A1 away from A2 and the end of A2 away from A1. When claw poles 6 are provided on the magnetic ring 7, each excitation coil 3 has a claw pole 6 on both sides, for a total of six claw poles 6. For example, the claw poles 6 are F1, F2, F3, F4, F5, and F6. F1 is located between A1 and A2, F6 is located on the side of A1 away from A2, and F2 is located on the end of A2 away from A1. When A1 and A2 are energized, F6 and F2 serve as the poles of the combined magnetic flux, while no magnetic flux passes through F1 in the middle.

[0030] When there is a higher requirement for the motor torque, the electromagnetic coil 3 between the combined magnetic fluxes is energized in the reverse direction.

[0031] There is no strictly fixed quantitative relationship between the excitation coil and the permanent magnet. They only need to be designed to meet the reasonable position difference required for the rotor to form and operate.

[0032] Example 2:

[0033] Please refer to Figure 8. The principle of this embodiment is the same as that of the first embodiment. This embodiment has two motor rotors 2 and a motor stator 1. Six excitation coils 3 are provided on the motor stator 1. The two motor rotors 2 with magnets 4 are arranged on both axial sides of the motor stator 1. The specific arrangement of the excitation coils 3 and the magnets 4 is the same as that of the first embodiment. Claw poles 6 are provided on both sides of the magnetic steel ring 7 of the motor stator 1.

[0034] At this time, if the manufacturing cost and process are mature and allowed, the claw pole 6 can be configured as a plurality of T-shaped claw poles with both ends connected to each other to form a continuous field-shaped claw pole.

[0035] This embodiment is the energy-saving mode of the first embodiment, using a symmetrical claw pole 6 (in the case of a single-sided claw pole 6, magnetic flux leakage will occur on the non-claw pole side of the excitation coil 3, and the motor housing needs to use a non-magnetic material such as aluminum alloy to ensure that most of the magnetic flux is concentrated on the claw pole 6 part of the stator). The symmetrical claw pole 6 can reduce magnetic flux leakage and fully utilize the electromagnetic force.

[0036] Example 3:

[0037] The principle of this embodiment is the same as that of embodiment one or two, except that the setting positions of the excitation coil 3 and the magnet 4 are interchanged, that is, the magnet 4 is set on the motor stator 1, and the excitation coil 3 is set on the motor rotor 2. In this mode, since the rotor needs to move, a slip ring needs to be set to power the excitation coil 3 on the rotating motor rotor 2, and the motor becomes a brushed motor.

[0038] Example 4:

[0039] This embodiment has the same general structure as the first, second or third embodiment, except that: N groups of combined magnetic fluxes greater than two groups are provided on the motor stator 1, and one or more non-energized or reversely energized excitation coils 3 are provided between two adjacent groups of combined magnetic fluxes.

[0040] Embodiment 5:

[0041] The structure of this embodiment is generally the same as that of Embodiments 1, 2, or 3, except that magnet 4 is an excitation coil, which generates magnetic flux by energizing the excitation coil. When magnet 4 is mounted on motor rotor 2, a slip ring is required to power the excitation coil on the rotating motor rotor 2, converting the motor into a brushless motor.

[0042] Example 6:

[0043] This embodiment has the same general structure as the first, second or third embodiment, except that: a Hall effect sensor or a photoelectric semiconductor sensor for detecting the rotor position is provided on the driving circuit board or the motor housing of the circumferentially arranged variable series flux motor. The rotor position is obtained by the Hall effect sensor or the photoelectric semiconductor sensor (holes are made on the bracket so that the photoelectric semiconductor sensor can be used for sensing), thereby coordinating the on and off of the six excitation coils 3. Two Hall effect sensors or photoelectric semiconductor sensors can be provided, one of which is used to assist in detecting whether the other sensor is working normally through comparison; when the sensor is provided, the motor is an inductive motor, and when the sensor is not provided, the motor is an inductive motor.

[0044] Embodiment seven:

[0045] The principle of this embodiment is the same as that of the first or second embodiment, except that: when the motor is in the conventional drive mode, coils A1 and A4 can be energized in the reverse direction. At this time, coils A2, A3, A5, and A6 form a combined magnetic flux, which is opposite to the magnetic pole direction of magnet 4, attracting magnet 4 to rotate clockwise. A1 and A4 have currents opposite to those of coils A2, A3, A5, and A6, and are the same as those of magnet 4, generating a repulsive force on magnet 4.

[0046] Embodiment 8:

[0047] When the motor is driven in induction mode, the motor rotor 2 can be a permanent magnet, or the squirrel cage motor principle can be adopted, with metal conductors such as copper and aluminum evenly distributed in segments on a concentric rotor bracket 8 parallel to the stator coil for movement.

[0048] Embodiment 9:

[0049] When the motor is driven in reluctance mode, it is only necessary to set the motor rotor 2 as a segmented magnetic conductor (such as stacked silicon steel sheets) and the design form meets the reluctance operation.

[0050] Embodiment 10:

[0051] In addition to the solution of the aforementioned embodiment, an inductive current recovery circuit is additionally provided on the circuit board for recovering the induced current generated by the magnet through the non-energized coil, thereby feeding back the current to the capacitor or the energized coil to achieve an ultimate energy-saving effect.

[0052] Example 11:

[0053] As shown in FIG9 , a circumferentially arranged variable series magnetic flux motor is provided. The motor is an induction motor mode, and the wiring method is different from that in the eighth embodiment. The motor as a whole comprises a motor stator (1) and a motor rotor (2). The motor rotor (2) is located on one side of the axial direction of the motor stator (1). The motor stator (1) or the motor rotor (2) is provided with a plurality of excitation coils (3) with magnetic poles arranged along the circumference of the motor shaft. The plurality of excitation coils (3) are evenly wound around the motor stator (1) or the motor rotor (2) along the circumference. The plurality of excitation coils (3) are connected end to end in series. Along the circumference, the end-to-end connection positions between the plurality of adjacent excitation coils (3) are sequentially connected to the three phases of a plurality of three-phase electricity groups. The plurality of three-phase electricity groups are arranged in parallel. The overall wiring method is an upward parallel connection (three-phase electricity parallel connection) and a downward series connection (coil series connection). The working principle of this wiring method is that when power is turned on, the plurality of excitation coils (3) automatically generate a magnetic flux for circumferential motion.
