Solution Approach 1:

The motor is divided into multiple magnetic units (first magnetic unit with first/second magnetic pole surfaces, second magnetic unit with fifth/sixth magnetic pole surfaces) and corresponding bearings (first bearing with first groove, second bearing with second groove). This segmentation allows independent optimization of each magnetic unit's magnetic field distribution, improving overall power conversion efficiency without requiring a proportional increase in total motor size.

Inventive Principle:

Solution Approach 2:

Each magnetic unit and bearing combination is designed with specific local magnetic pole arrangements (alternating magnetic poles on circumferential surfaces) to create optimized magnetic fields in specific regions. The conical groove shapes and alternating magnetic pole configurations ensure that magnetic flux is concentrated and utilized more effectively in critical areas, improving power density without increasing overall motor volume.
