Solution Overview

Problem

The existing permanent magnet synchronous motors face challenges with unstable output parameters due to the inconvenience of machining the stator core and lack of positioning structure, leading to torque fluctuations and low reliability in speed and position control.

Innovation Solution

The stator core is designed as multiple spliced core blocks without tooth sockets for coil embedding, allowing for easier machining and precise positioning using raised parts and matching grooves in the housing, ensuring stable torque output and high-precision control.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of manufacture

If the stator core is designed as an integral structure with tooth sockets for embedding coil windings, then the coil winding can be securely mounted, but the core becomes inconvenient to machine and the output torque fluctuates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemachining convenience of coreVSAvoidstability of output torque
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of manufactureVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The stator core is divided into multiple core blocks that are spliced together to form the complete core structure. Each core block can be independently machined without tooth sockets, simplifying the machining process. The core blocks are then assembled using connecting pieces with positioning structures (raised parts and grooves) to form the integral core functionality, resolving the contradiction between machining convenience and structural integrity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

2Manufacturing precision

If the stator core is designed as an integral structure with tooth sockets, then the structural strength is maintained, but high-precision control of speed and position is influenced due to torque fluctuations

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvespeed and position control precisionVSAvoidcore structure complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Manufacturing precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The core is segmented into multiple blocks without tooth sockets, eliminating the source of torque fluctuations that affect precision control. The segmentation simplifies each individual component while the assembly mechanism (connecting pieces with positioning structures) restores the functional integrity, thereby improving speed and position control precision without excessive complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The tooth sockets are extracted from the core structure and relocated to the connecting pieces. This removal of tooth sockets from the core eliminates the harmful effect on torque smoothness while the connecting pieces with raised parts and grooves provide the necessary mechanical connection and positioning functionality.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

3Reliability

If no positioning structure is provided between the core and housing, then the manufacturing process is simplified, but the relative positions of the core and rotor easily deviate during rotation, reducing reliability

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvestability of output parametersVSAvoidpositioning structure complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The positioning function is extracted from the traditional core-housing interface and implemented through raised parts on the core blocks that engage with corresponding grooves in the housing. This targeted positioning approach provides stable output parameters while minimizing unnecessary structural complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

Solution Approach 2:

The connecting pieces serve as intermediaries between the core blocks and the housing, incorporating both the mechanical connection function and the positioning function through raised parts. This intermediary structure ensures proper positioning and fixation without requiring complex positioning mechanisms in the housing itself.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)
