Divided Stator Core Geometry for Low-Cogging Torque Motors
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Motors with divided stator cores face increased cogging torque due to accumulated tolerance between assembled cores, particularly when the number of cores is large, leading to deviations in open slots.
Innovation Solution
The motor design features all curvature centers of yoke outer surfaces and tooth inner surfaces being different, with specific curvature configurations and surface orientations to minimize tolerance accumulation, allowing for reduced cogging torque and streamlined manufacturing processes.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of manufacture
If a plurality of divided cores are assembled to constitute the stator core, then the ease of manufacture is improved, but the manufacturing precision deteriorates due to accumulated tolerance between cores
Solution Approach 1:
The stator core is divided into multiple divided cores that can be manufactured separately and then assembled. This segmentation allows for easier manufacturing of individual cores while maintaining the ability to assemble them into a complete stator core structure.
Solution Approach 2:
The invention introduces asymmetric design elements such as curved surfaces with different radii of curvature on adjacent divided cores. By making the curvature centers different and using asymmetric surface profiles, the design compensates for tolerance accumulation and prevents deviation of open slots during assembly.

3Ease of manufacture
If standard curved surfaces are used on divided cores, then the ease of manufacture is improved, but the manufacturing precision deteriorates due to slot deviation
Solution Approach 1:
The invention introduces asymmetric design elements such as curved surfaces with different radii of curvature on adjacent divided cores. By making the curvature centers different and using asymmetric surface profiles, the design compensates for tolerance accumulation and prevents deviation of open slots during assembly.
Solution Approach 2:
The invention changes the geometric parameters of the curved surfaces on divided cores. Specifically, it uses different radii of curvature for adjacent cores and positions curvature centers at different locations. This parameter variation compensates for manufacturing tolerances and maintains slot alignment precision.
