[0047] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this application belongs. The terminology used in the description of the specification of the present application is only for the purpose of describing specific embodiments and is not intended to limit the present application. The term "and / or" used herein includes any and all combinations of one or more of the associated listed items.

[0048] Referring to FIGS. 1, 2, 6 and 9, in one embodiment, a permanent magnet brushless motor is provided, comprising a rotor core 100, a stator core 200 and a plug-in assembly, the stator core 200 is sleeved on the outside of the rotor core 100, a plurality of permanent magnets 300 are arranged on the rotor core 100 at intervals in the circumferential direction, a plurality of windings 400 are arranged on the stator core 200 at intervals in the circumferential direction, and the plug-in assembly is connected to each winding 400 to energize each winding 400.

[0049] The plug-in assembly can be connected to an external control component, the external control component can provide three-phase alternating current, the three-phase alternating current is provided to the winding 400 through the plug-in assembly, and then a stator rotating magnetic field is generated. The rotor core 100 relies on the permanent magnet 300 to form a rotor magnetic field, and the two magnetic fields are coupled to make the motor rotate, that is, the rotor core 100 rotates at high speed relative to the stator core 200.

[0050] Referring to FIG. 3, the stator core 200 has a body portion and a plurality of mounting portions 211 connected to the body portion. Each mounting portion 211 protrudes outward from the outer side wall of the body portion of the stator core 200 in a direction away from the rotor core 100. The outer side wall of the body portion of the stator core 200 includes a straight portion 212 and an arc-shaped portion 213. The arc-shaped portion 213 is connected between the mounting portion 211 and the straight portion 212.

[0051] The mounting portion 211 of the stator core 200 is mainly used for mounting and fixing the stator core 200. Specifically, the stator core 200 can be connected to a corresponding end cover through the mounting portion 211.

[0052] In the conventional technology, the profile of the stator core 200 is generally rectangular. The mounting portion 211 is located at the four corners of the rectangular stator core 200. This design has the following disadvantages: heavy weight and high cost. Referring to FIG. 4, the magnetic induction lines 500 generated after the winding 400 is energized will extend to the mounting portion 211. Since the mounting portion 211 is usually provided with a screw or the like locking portion, it will interfere with the magnetic induction lines 500, thereby causing the magnetic induction lines 500 to be unevenly distributed and interfere with other magnetic induction lines 500.

[0053] In the present application, each mounting portion 211 protrudes outwardly from the outer wall of the main portion of the stator core 200 in a direction away from the rotor core 100, that is, the two sides of the mounting portion 211 in the prior art are chamfered, thereby reducing the weight of the stator core 200 and lowering the cost. Referring to FIG. 5, the maximum distance of the arc-shaped portion 213 from the center point of the rotor core 100 is less than or equal to the minimum distance of the locking portion on the mounting portion 211 from the center point of the rotor core 100, thereby ensuring that the magnetic induction lines 500 generated after the winding 400 is energized do not extend to the mounting portion 211, thereby avoiding the influence of the screws and other components at the mounting portion 211 on the magnetic induction lines 500 and avoiding uneven magnetic induction lines 500. In the present application, the outer wall of the stator core 200 is shaped as a straight portion 212 and an arc-shaped portion 213, which is connected between the mounting portion 211 and the straight portion 212, thereby adapting the shape of the outer wall of the stator core 200 to the direction of the magnetic induction lines 500 to maximize the amount of magnetic induction lines 500. In the above scheme, a linear segment region can also be provided between the mounting portion 211 and the straight portion 212, for example, a linear segment region is provided at the connection between the arc-shaped portion 213 and the mounting portion 211, which can more smoothly connect the chamfering process. This is not an absolute limitation.

[0054] In the present embodiment, the curvature of the arc-shaped portion 213 is adapted to the trajectory of the outermost magnetic induction lines 500 in the stator core 200 to further maximize the passage of the magnetic induction lines 500.

[0055] In one embodiment, the stator core 200 can have four mounting portions 211, which are respectively distributed at the four corners of the stator core 200. In other embodiments, the stator core 200 can also have two or three mounting portions 211, etc., and the number of mounting portions 211 can be set according to actual needs, which is not an absolute limitation.

[0056] Referring to FIG. 3, in the present embodiment, the thickness of the arc-shaped portion 213 is greater than the thickness of the straight portion 212, wherein the thickness of the arc-shaped portion 213 is the distance D from the outer wall to the inner wall of the stator core 200 at the arc-shaped portion 213, and the thickness of the straight portion 212 is the distance E from the outer wall to the inner wall of the stator core 200 at the straight portion 212. After the mounting portion 211 is chamfered, the magnetic induction lines 500 that can originally extend to the mounting portion 211 cannot pass through the arc-shaped portion 213, but since the thickness of the arc-shaped portion 213 is greater than the thickness of the straight portion 212 in the present embodiment, the magnetic induction parameters that pass through the arc-shaped portion 213 still meet the requirements, effectively ensuring the magnetic flux and improving the performance of the motor.

[0057] In one embodiment, the ratio between the thickness of the arc-shaped portion 213 and the thickness of the straight portion 212 is between 1.58 and 1.6. Specifically, it can be 1.58, 1.59 or 1.6, etc. The ratio between the thickness of the arc-shaped portion 213 and the thickness of the straight portion 212 is set to be between 1.58 and 1.6. With the above setting, the magnetic induction lines 500 are relatively dense at the straight portion 212 and relatively sparse at the arc-shaped portion 213, so a relatively thicker arc-shaped portion 213 is needed to ensure the magnetic flux and thus the performance of the motor will not be reduced. In addition, the arc-shaped portion 213 obtained by chamfering can better reflect the advantages of weight reduction and material loss reduction in the structure of the stator core 200 with multiple stator laminations 240.

[0058] The performance of the motor can be ensured without reducing the magnetic flux.

[0059] In one embodiment, the inner wall of the stator core 200 is circumferentially provided with multiple winding grooves 220, and adjacent two winding grooves 220 form a stator tooth 230. The winding 400 is wound around the periphery of the stator tooth 230 and accommodated in the winding groove 220.

[0060] Each stator tooth 230 can have the same tooth width, which refers to the width of the stator tooth 230 along the circumference of the stator core 200. The stator tooth 230 provides a winding position for the winding 400, and the winding 400 is wound around the periphery of the stator tooth 230 and accommodated by the winding grooves 220 on both sides of the stator tooth 230.

[0061] In this embodiment, the stator tooth 230 includes a tooth portion 231 and a pole shoe portion 232. One end of the tooth portion 231 is connected to the inner wall of the stator core 200, and the other end of the tooth portion 231 is connected to the pole shoe portion 232. The width of the pole shoe portion 232 in the circumferential direction of the stator core 200 is greater than the width of the tooth portion 231 in the circumferential direction of the stator core 200. Since one end of the tooth portion 231 is connected to the inner wall of the stator core 200 and the other end is connected to the pole shoe portion 232, and the width of the pole shoe portion 232 in the circumferential direction of the stator core 200 is greater than the width of the tooth portion 231 in the circumferential direction of the stator core 200, the winding 400 can be more reliably wound on the stator tooth 230 and is less likely to fall off the stator tooth 230. The pole shoe portions 232 of adjacent two stator teeth 230 are kept a certain distance apart.

[0062] Further, the stator tooth 230 is in the shape of T, the pole shoe portion 232 is the horizontal part of the upper half of the T, and the tooth portion 231 is the vertical part of the lower half of the T.

[0063] In one of the embodiments, referring to FIG. 6, the stator core 200 comprises a plurality of stator laminations 240 stacked along the axial direction, and each of the stator laminations 240 is stacked at a preset horizontal rotation angle. That is, the stator core 200 can be stacked by a plurality of stator laminations 240, and each of the stator laminations 240 can be stacked at a preset horizontal rotation angle during the stacking. In this embodiment, the preset horizontal rotation angle can be 90°.

[0064] In the conventional technology, due to the machining error, the surface of the lamination is often uneven, especially the lamination processed by the production line, and the error is usually concentrated, for example, concentrated in one or more places. If the laminations are stacked at a fixed angle, the surface of the formed stator core 200 can be low on one side and high on the other side. To solve this problem, in this embodiment, each of the stator laminations 240 is stacked at a preset horizontal rotation angle, thereby avoiding the problem of inconsistent surface height of the formed stator core 200 due to stacking the laminations at a fixed angle. Thus, during the rotation of the motor, the balance can be effectively improved, and the high speed and low noise effect can be achieved.

[0065] In one of the embodiments, referring to FIGS. 6-8, each of the stator laminations 240 has a riveting structure 250, and two adjacent stator laminations 240 are connected by the riveting structure 250. Specifically, each of the stator laminations 240 can be provided with a riveting structure 250, which can be a protruding portion 251 and a groove 252 corresponding to the protruding portion 251, that is, the protruding portion 251 and the groove 252 are distributed on both sides of the stator lamination 240. When two stator laminations 240 are stacked, the protruding portion 251 of one of the stator laminations 240 is riveted in the groove 252 of the other stator lamination 240, and the plurality of stator laminations 240 can be stacked together by the riveting structure 250 to form the stator core 200, thereby ensuring the tightness and stability of the formed stator core 200.

[0066] In one of the embodiments, the riveting structure 250 on the same stator lamination 240 can have a plurality of riveting structures 250, and the riveting structures 250 are uniformly distributed around the axial direction.

[0067] In one of the embodiments, the rotor core 100 is provided with a plurality of magnetic steel grooves 110 for placing the permanent magnets 300 at intervals in the circumferential direction, and a magnetic separation area 120 is formed between each of the magnetic steel grooves 110. In actual application, eight magnetic steel grooves 110 can be provided on the rotor core 100, and the eight magnetic steel grooves 110 are uniformly distributed at intervals in the circumferential direction of the rotor core 100.

[0068] In one of the embodiments, referring to FIG. 9, the rotor core 100 comprises a plurality of first rotor sheets 130 and second rotor sheets 140 which are stacked in sequence along the axial direction. In this embodiment, the rotor core 100 can be formed by alternately stacking the first rotor sheets 130 and the second rotor sheets 140. Specifically, a plurality of the first rotor sheets 130 can be stacked between any two adjacent second rotor sheets 140, i.e., a plurality of the first rotor sheets 130 are stacked before a second rotor sheet 140 is stacked.

[0069] Referring to FIGS. 10 and 11, the outermost edge of the magnetic steel slot 110 in the first rotor sheet 130 in the radial direction has a magnetic isolation slot 131 which is in communication with the magnetic steel slot 110. The outermost edge of the magnetic steel slot 110 in the second rotor sheet 140 in the radial direction has a magnetic isolation bridge 141 which connects the magnetic isolation zones 120 on both sides of the magnetic steel slot 110. The magnetic isolation slot 131 is in an open structure, thereby minimizing the magnetic leakage and improving the electromagnetic utilization rate, and reducing the material consumption and cost.

[0070] In the axial direction of the rotor core 100, the orthogonal projection of the magnetic isolation bridge 141 on the magnetic isolation slot 131 falls within the magnetic isolation slot 131. In the radial direction of the rotor core 100, the outermost edge of the magnetic isolation bridge 141 coincides with the outermost edge of the magnetic isolation slot 131. In one of the embodiments, the thickness of the magnetic isolation bridge 141 in the radial direction is 0.4mm-0.6mm, specifically 0.4mm, 0.5mm or 0.6mm, etc., thereby meeting the structural strength requirement and effectively improving the magnetic flux rate.

[0071] In one of the embodiments, the ratio of the outer edge slot diameter of the magnetic steel slot 110 to the outer edge slot diameter of the magnetic isolation slot 131 is 1.57-1.61, specifically 1.57, 1.58, 1.59, 1.60 or 1.61, etc.

[0072] In this embodiment, the first rotor sheet 130 and the second rotor sheet 140 are stacked at a preset horizontal rotation angle. Similar to the stacking mode of the stator sheet 240, the rotor sheets are also stacked at a preset horizontal rotation angle. Here, the preset horizontal rotation angle can be 90°.

[0073] The first rotor lamination 130 and the second rotor lamination 140 are stacked at a preset horizontal rotation angle, which can avoid the problem of inconsistent surface height of the rotor core 100 after molding due to stacking the rotor laminations at a fixed angle, thereby effectively improving the balance during motor rotation and achieving high speed and low noise.

[0074] The first rotor lamination 130 and the second rotor lamination 140 are both provided with a riveting structure 250, and adjacent first rotor laminations 130 or adjacent first rotor laminations 130 and second rotor laminations 140 are connected through the riveting structure 250. The specific content of the riveting structure 250 can be referred to the previous description, which will not be repeated here.

[0075] In one embodiment, referring to FIG. 12, the innermost edge of the magnetic steel groove 110 in the second rotor lamination 140 in the radial direction is provided with a protruding portion 142, which protrudes towards the inside of the magnetic steel groove 110. When the permanent magnet 300 is inserted into the magnetic steel groove 110 along the axial direction of the rotor core 100, the protruding portion 142 is bent by the permanent magnet 300, so that the protruding portion 142 exerts a radial abutting force on the permanent magnet 300.

[0076] When the permanent magnet 300 is inserted into the magnetic steel groove 110 along the axial direction, the two side walls in the circumferential direction are in clearance fit with the magnetic steel groove 110, and in the radial direction, the outer end of the permanent magnet 300 is limited, and the inner end of the permanent magnet 300 can bend the protruding portion 142, thereby deforming the protruding portion 142, and the protruding portion 142 exerts a radial abutting force on the permanent magnet 300, thereby ensuring that the positions of the plurality of permanent magnets 300 after installation are consistent, and the thrust of the protruding portion 142 can stably fix each permanent magnet 300 at the same position, effectively reducing the micro-deformation of the permanent magnet 300 in the magnetic steel groove 110, and also significantly improving the vibration and high-frequency noise of the motor.

[0077] In one of the embodiments, referring to Fig. 1, the permanent magnet brushless motor further comprises a front end cover 600 and a rear end cover 700, which are connected to two sides of the stator core 200 through the mounting portion 211. The front end cover 600 and the rear end cover 700 are made of aluminum alloy material, which is smaller in size and lighter in weight than the existing end cover, thereby reducing the cost without changing the assembly method and increasing the assembly cost. First of all, it is worth noting that the selection of the above material can also contact the connection mode to conduct the heat on the stator core 200 to the outside, ensuring the heat dissipation efficiency; secondly, it is worth noting that the above mounting mode exposes the side wall of the stator core 200 directly to the air, so that the heat generated can be dissipated to the air without obstruction, further improving the heat dissipation efficiency.
