Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Traditional synchronous reluctance motors face issues with large vibration noise, low efficiency, and reduced starting capability due to torque ripple, which are not effectively addressed by existing designs.
Innovation Solution
The implementation of a direct starting synchronous reluctance motor rotor with beveled edges on the filling grooves reduces reluctance torque ripple, increases d-axis inductance, and enhances flux difference between d-axis and q-axis, thereby improving output torque and motor efficiency.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Loss of energy
If a traditional synchronous reluctance motor is used, then the motor can operate synchronously with high efficiency, but it produces large torque ripple causing vibration and noise
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies asymmetry by providing different fillings in the d-axis and q-axis flux barriers. The d-axis flux barrier contains a conductive filling (such as aluminum or copper) while the q-axis flux barrier contains a non-conductive filling (such as epoxy resin or plastic). This asymmetric filling configuration creates different magnetic reluctance characteristics along the d-axis and q-axis, which increases the inductance difference and thereby increases reluctance torque while reducing torque ripple, thus reducing vibration and noise while maintaining high efficiency
2Ease of manufacture
If filling material reaches rotor periphery and forms part of rotor periphery, then manufacturing is simplified, but machining time increases and manufacturing cost increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies segmentation by dividing the filling material into two distinct types (conductive and non-conductive) that are placed in specific regions (d-axis and q-axis flux barriers). This segmented approach allows for more efficient manufacturing processes where different filling materials can be applied separately to their respective regions, reducing overall machining time and manufacturing cost compared to forming the entire rotor periphery with a single filling material

AI summary
The present disclosure provides a direct starting synchronous reluctance motor rotor, and a motor. The direct starting synchronous reluctance motor rotor comprises: a rotor core provided with a plurality of slit grooves, two filling grooves are respectively disposed at two ends of each of the slit grooves to form a magnetic barrier layer, a first end of the filling groove being disposed adjacent to the slit groove, a second end of the filling groove being disposed to be extended outwards an outside of the rotor core, a beveled edge is disposed on the second end of at least one of the filling grooves away from a d-axis of the rotor core, so that a d-axis flux of the rotor core will not suddenly change when entering a stator along a channel formed at the beveled edge. With this arrangement, a reluctance torque ripple of the motor can be reduced, thereby reducing generated vibration noise, increasing a d-axis inductance and a flux difference between the d-axis and a q-axis, generating a greater reluctance torque, increasing an output torque of the motor with the rotor, and improving a motor efficiency.
