Solution Overview

Problem

Single-cylinder rolling rotor compressors experience significant speed fluctuations and reduced energy efficiency due to poor resistance against disturbances during low-frequency operations, primarily due to their small inner rotor diameter and pulsatile load.

Innovation Solution

A motor design with a stator core having an inner-to-outer diameter ratio greater than 0.5, a rotor with a magnetic member, and optimized dimensions to increase the rotor's outer radius, enhancing resistance and energy efficiency while maintaining miniaturization, using a rare earth permanent magnet synchronous motor with concentrated winding and specific tooth slot configurations.

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies parameter changes by optimizing the ratio of inner diameter to outer diameter of the stator core (k>0.5) and the relationship between exhaust volume, rotor mass, and rotor radius (V/(M*R^2)*1000 ≥ 2.22). These parameter optimizations allow the rotor to achieve sufficient moment of inertia for resistance against disturbance while controlling the overall motor volume through efficient spatial utilization.
