The invention also relates to the aforementioned asynchronous motor, the nominal speed and power of which can be scaled by varying the supply voltage and the frequency in order to obtain power of between 2 and 2000 kW in different motor models depending on the physical shape and connection thereof, whereby speed is proportional to the programmed frequency.

Description

TRACTION SYSTEM FOR LIFTS, ESCALATORS, MOVING WALKWAYS AND
AEROGENERATORS WHICH IS EQUIPPED WITH AN ASYNCHRONOUS
MOTOR, AND AN ASYNCHRONOUS MOTOR FOR SAID TRACTION SYSTEM
OBJECT OF THE INVENTION
The object of this invention is a traction system for lifts, escalators, moving walkways and aerogenerators, that includes an asynchronous motor with a squirrel cage rotor with low start-up current and high performance; as well as said asynchronous motor, the power and operating speed of which are scalable with variable frequency and input voltage so as to obtain between 2 and 2000 kW of power in different motor models depending on their physical size and their connection, the speed being proportional to the programmed frequency.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
Lift apparatuses and escalators and moving walkways activated by electrical motors present specific problems, such as the large number of start-ups and shutdowns per unit of time, and cargo variation. Up to now, this problem has been solved through the use of geared motor groups.

In addition, the energy generators applied to wind-driven generators both for the start-up of the assembly and operating by way of the generator require a revolution multiplier.
The invention is related to traction systems activated by low-slippage and high-torque asynchronous motors, this activating being unusual up to the present in this field. The asynchronous motor is so-called because the rotating magnetic field generated by the stator is compensated by the one created by induction in the rotor with some delay in the rotation that brings about slippage against one another and which, in the motors built with the aforementioned technique, is of an approximate magnitude of 16% of the rotation speed of the magnetic field created by the stator in nominal conditions. In addition, the asynchronous motors of the aforementioned techniques have a high start-up intensity of approximately 1.5 to 3 times the nominal rating and use high current densities, normally of about 10 A/mm2.
These drawbacks can be avoided by way of synchronous motors, although they also bring about disadvantages, such as the use of large permanent magnets, their high cost, problems related to their handling and their deterioration due to heating.

In order to overcome these drawbacks a proportional multipolar investigation has been carried out, that is, starting from an initial produced and functional size, other sizes have been developed in order to achieve greater power, always in a proportional manner, that is, scaled, from the initial prototype, from different motors powered by way of an electronic assembly with voltage input frequency splitter and diagrams have been drawn up of their functioning as a result of the variation of different parameters such as voltage and intensity values, wiring, frequency and number of poles.

As a result of this proportional multipolar investigation the asynchronous motor of the present invention has been obtained, which offers the following advantages:
a) The asynchronous motor starts up without peaking in intensity consumption.
b) It has a very low slippage, of approximately 8%.
c) High performance.
d) Low current density that does not surpass 6 A/mm2, which guarantees a uniform and unsaturated magnetic field.
e) Low degree of heating, since in the electrical winding a 55 C is rarely exceeded, with a high rhythm of 180 connections/hour and maximum output torque.
f) As a consequence of the above, a very long working life.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF A PREFERRED EMBODIMENT
The asynchronous motor of the invention is disclosed below, which is specified based on a preferred embodiment of the same for 2 to 20 kW of power used in lifts.

Fig. 1 illustrates an expanded perspective view of the stator 1 and of the rotor 2 of the asynchronous motor showing only the magnetic plates that they are composed of with the corresponding slots for inserting the coiling into stator 1, not shown, and the squirrel cage rods 21 and rings 22 in the rotor as can be seen in Fig. 2 that shows a side view of rotor 2.

The main characteristics of the asynchronous motor of the present invention with reference to its physical parameters are the following:

- Short-circuited rotor 2 formed by the squirrel cage of copper rods with a number preferably between 54 and 76, and more preferably of 66 in the preferred embodiment.
The number of rods of rotor 2 is proportional to the number of slots in stator 1 in an approximate proportion of 90% of the former with respect to the latter. The squirrel cage is made up of 21 copper rods with a 5 x 16 mm crossways section, which are inclined 8 with respect to the parents of the ideal cylinder formed by the exterior surface of the drum in squirrel cage. The squirrel cage is closed by way of two circular 22 copper rings, also with a 5 x 16 mm crossways section, the interior of which the 21 rods are welded to. The diameter of the rotor 2 in the preferred embodiment is of 280 mm. The thickness of the magnetic plate bundle that the rotor 2 forms, in which the copper squirrel cage is inserted, designated with the letter A in Figs. 1 and 2, and which is equivalent to the magnetic plate thickness of the stator 1, also designated with the letter A in Figs. 1 and 3, is of between 80 and 300 mm, depending on the power of the motor.
The magnetic plates that make up the rotor 2 have the shape of a circular crown, their exterior surface being slotted in an axial direction for the insertion of the inclined 21 copper rods and with a single threading or necking in their interior so that in them a rib of the axis of the motor, not shown, and both elements rotate, the rotor 2 and the axis, solidariously.

In Figs. 1, 3 and 4 the shape of the stator 1 is shown. The magnetic plates 11 that comprise it, have a square shape with cut off, arched corners, so that they can be inserted in a cast iron cylindrical carcass 12 that supports both the stator 1 and the rotor 2. The width and height of the magnetic plates 11 of the stator are of 385 mm, 20%.
The plates that form the stator 1 are joined together to form a bundle by way of 8 sticks that pass through the boreholes 13 made on the periphery of the plates with a quantity of 12 and that also affix it to the cast iron rings 12 that surround the stator 1. In the centre of the plates there is a circular gap that defines the interior surface of the stator 1 with slots 14 parallel to the axis of the circular gap. In the preferred embodiment the number of slots 14 is preferably between 60 and 84, and more preferably is 72, necessarily being a multiple of 12 in every case. The thickness of the bundle of plates of the stator 1 is, as mentioned earlier A with the limits that were indicated. The air gap 15 measures 0.4 mm 0.1 mm.

The physical consecution of the stator assembly, forming a single bundle of magnetic nucleus between two rings of cast iron, in order to absorb the reaction to the working torque of the motor, is carried out by way of passing screw in a number of around 8, which perforate all of the assembly from one end to the other, where they are stretched.
The cast iron rings have an exterior diameter of 452 mm 20% in the preferred embodiment.

As regards the electrical characteristics of the asynchronous motor, it should be indicated that:

- the stator 1 is multipolar with such a number of poles that in the preferred embodiment winding is carried out for 12 poles. The current density in both the stator 1 and the rotor 2 is very low and does not surpass 6 A/mm2, which guarantees a uniform magnetic field and prevents saturation.

- the asynchronous motor with the aforementioned characteristics has a very low slippage of around 8% with respect to the synchronous speed, which is a significant improvement over the figures of synchronous motors of the previous technique, the figure of which is around 16%. On the other hand, the fact that the air gap is of only 0.4 mm 1 mm, the low slippage and low current density used and other constructive and input characteristics make the asynchronous motor of the invention have high performance and low losses due to heating because it has been proven that in the stator coiling the temperature of 55 C is not exceeded functioning in conditions of maximum output torque and with a high rhythm of connections of 180 per hour.

Figures 5, 6 and 7 show different characteristic curves of the functioning of the motor such as the torque-angular speed curve, intensity-angular speed curve and intensity-torque curve;

Fig. 8 shows the start-up intensity curves of a conventional asynchronous or synchronous motor currently in use, where one can observe the high value of la of the start-up intensity and how the intensity decreases to reach as low as the nominal rating In for that operating speed, that is, the intensity from start-up until the operating speed is a growing function of the angular speed of the motor, its initial value being zero and continuing to be always less than or equal to the nominal rating In at the aforementioned operating speed.

This characteristic represents and important advantage of the asynchronous motor of the invention because it eliminates the input line transients, but it especially increases the efficiency of the motor and prevents the need for special protection elements for the start-up/shutdown contact units or for the electronic circuits designed for this purpose.
This characteristic is most useful in applications such as elevating apparatuses where such operations are carried out continuously.

The asynchronous motor of the invention is specifically designed for each application depending on the load and the rating speed, and with specific input in current and frequency. With other values applied, the motor does not work. In accordance with multipolar dimensioning and construction, the asynchronous motor does or does not work; it stops producing an unacceptable level of noise, having a high level of consumption and not having a working torque, and instead works perfectly with surprising results, since the motor powered with a frequency splitter can reach the desired speed in the same way as a synchronous motor of permanent magnets that is much more expensive, always offering speed control in closed loop by way of an encoder. Any decrease in speed due to asynchronism is compensated for electronically with a minimum frequency increase, thus reaching an equivalent speed to that of synchronism.

Furthermore, acting over the motor construction characteristics, such as the number of slots in the rotor and stator, the coiled of the latter, its physical dimensions and providing the resulting asynchronous motor with the adequate voltage and frequency, with the corresponding phase shift between adjoining poles in accordance with the number of said poles, results in obtaining two important advantages, the selection of both the nominal rotation speed within a wide margin and the motor output power, that make it possible to apply this motors to lifts, escalators and moving walkways with power from 2 kW to 20 kW, and to generators of energy for aerogenerators for the start up of the generator equipment eliminating the usual multiplier component with power of up to 2000kW, although for this latter power figure it is required to increase the diameter of the stator to 2000mm and the thickness of the bundles of magnetic plates of the stator 1 and of the rotor 2 up to 1000mm.

Furthermore, acting over the motor construction characteristics, such as the number of slots in the rotor and stator, stator coil, its physical dimensions and providing the resulting asynchronous motor with the adequate voltage and frequency, with the corresponding phase shift between adjoining poles in accordance with the number of said poles, results in obtaining two important advantages, the selection of both the nominal rotation speed within a wide margin and the motor output power, that make it possible to apply this motors to lifts, escalators and moving walkways with power from 2 kW to 20 kW, and to energy generators for aerogenerators for the start up of the equipment in generatory mode eliminating the usual multiplier component with power of up to 2000kW, although for this latter power figure it is required to increase the diameter of the stator 1 to 2000mm and the thickness A of the bundles of magnetic plates of the stator 1 and of the rotor 2 up to 1000mm.
