As shown in fig. 1, a motor 100 according to an embodiment of the first aspect of the present invention includes: a rotor 1, a stator and a plurality of coils 3.
Specifically, a stator is provided outside the rotor 1, and the stator includes an annular stator yoke 21 formed by bending a plurality of strip yoke laminations stacked in the axial direction, and a plurality of stator teeth 22 provided at intervals in the circumferential direction of the stator yoke 21. For example, referring to fig. 1, the stator yoke 21 may be formed by bending a plurality of strip yoke laminations into a substantially circular ring-shaped structure, the stator teeth 22 may be disposed at intervals in the circumferential direction of the annular stator yoke 21, and the stator teeth 22 may extend in the radial direction of the stator yoke 21.
Here, it is to be noted that, in the description of the present invention, the meaning of "a plurality" is two or more unless otherwise specified.
The stator teeth 22 are formed by stacking a plurality of tooth laminations in the circumferential direction of the stator yoke 21, the stacking direction of the plurality of yoke laminations is perpendicular to the stacking direction of the plurality of tooth laminations, one end (e.g., the left end in fig. 2) of each strip yoke lamination is provided with a protrusion 2122, and the other end (e.g., the right end in fig. 2) of each strip yoke lamination is provided with a recess 2121 which is matched with the protrusion 2122.
For example, after a plurality of laminated strip yoke sheets are punched and stacked, the laminated strip yoke sheets are extruded and bent by a tool to be adjusted into an annular structure, then the protruding portion 2122 of the one end of each laminated strip yoke sheet extends into the recessed portion 2121 of the other end of each laminated strip yoke sheet to fix the stator yoke 21 into an annular shape, and then the one end and the other end of each laminated strip yoke sheet are welded or bonded into a whole. Therefore, the processing technology of the stator yoke 21 is simplified, the stator yoke 21 can be quickly molded, and the production efficiency of the stator yoke 21 is improved. In addition, the stator yoke 21 is manufactured by integrally blanking the strip-shaped yoke punching sheet, so that the material of the stator yoke 21 is saved, and the material cost is reduced.
A plurality of coils 3 are wound around the stator yoke 21, and one coil 3 is provided between each adjacent two of the stator teeth 22. Therefore, the slot filling rate of the stator is effectively improved, and the performance of the motor 100 is improved. In addition, the winding process of the coil 3 is simplified, and the production efficiency of the stator is improved.
Specifically, an insulator is provided between the coil 3 and the stator yoke 21 to improve insulation between the coil 3 and the stator yoke 21. Alternatively, the insulating member may be an insulating varnish sprayed on the surface of the stator yoke 21, or a plastic member injection-molded on the stator yoke 21, but is not limited thereto, as long as the coil 3 is insulated from the stator yoke 21.
According to the motor 100 provided by the embodiment of the invention, the annular stator yoke 21 formed by bending the plurality of strip yoke punching sheets which are axially overlapped is simplified, the processing technology of the stator yoke 21 is simplified, the stator yoke 21 can be rapidly molded, the production efficiency of the stator yoke 21 is improved, the material of the stator yoke 21 is saved, and the material cost is reduced. In addition, the coil 3 is wound on the stator yoke 21, so that the slot filling rate of the stator is effectively improved, the performance of the motor 100 is improved, the winding process of the coil 3 is simplified, and the production efficiency of the stator is improved.
According to some embodiments of the invention, an end of the at least one stator tooth 22 adjacent to the rotor 1 (e.g. the inner end in fig. 1) is provided with at least one tooth shoe 222, the tooth shoe 222 extending in the axial direction of the rotor 1. Here, the term "inner" in the present application refers to a direction toward the center of the motor 100, and correspondingly, the term "outer" in the present application refers to a direction away from the center of the motor 100.
That is, one or two tooth shoes 222 may be provided at the one end of one of the plurality of stator teeth 22, one or two tooth shoes 222 may be provided at the one end of some of the plurality of stator teeth 22, and one or two tooth shoes 222 may be provided at the one end of each of the plurality of stator teeth 22. Specifically, when the one end of the stator tooth 22 is provided with one tooth shoe 222, the tooth shoe 222 may extend toward the front side or the rear side of the stator tooth 22, and when the one end of the stator tooth 22 is provided with two tooth shoes 222, the two tooth shoes 222 may extend toward the front side and the rear side of the stator tooth 22, respectively. Therefore, the utilization rate of the axial magnetic field of the rotor 1 can be effectively improved, the magnetic conduction effect between the stator and the rotor 1 is improved, and the performance of the motor 100 is improved.
For example, in the example of fig. 1, two tooth shoes 222 are provided at the above-described one end of each stator tooth 22, and the two tooth shoes 222 extend toward the front and rear sides of the stator tooth 22, respectively. This effectively improves the utilization rate of the axial magnetic field of the rotor 1. For another example, referring to fig. 7, the one end of the stator teeth 22 is provided with a tooth shoe 222 extending toward the front side of the stator teeth 22. This also improves the utilization of the axial magnetic field of the rotor 1.
According to some embodiments of the invention, an end of at least one tooth shoe 222 remote from the stator teeth 22 is provided with a projection 221, the projection 221 extending in the direction of the rotor 1. Specifically, when the one end of the stator tooth 22 is provided with one tooth shoe 222 and the tooth shoe 222 extends toward the front side of the stator tooth 22, the front end of the tooth shoe 222 (i.e., the free end of the tooth shoe 222) may be provided with the boss 221. When the one end of the stator teeth 22 is provided with one tooth shoe 222 and the tooth shoe 222 extends toward the rear side of the stator teeth 22, the rear end of the tooth shoe 222 may be provided with the boss 221. When the stator teeth 22 are provided at the one end thereof with two tooth shoes 222 and the two tooth shoes 222 extend toward the front and rear sides of the stator teeth 22, respectively, the front end of the front tooth shoe 222 may be provided with the boss 221, the rear end of the rear tooth shoe 222 may be provided with the boss 221, and the front end of the front tooth shoe 222 and the rear end of the rear tooth shoe 222 may be provided with the bosses 221 at the same time.
Specifically, referring to fig. 8 and 9, one end of the boss 221 is connected to the tooth shoe 222, and the other end of the boss 221 extends toward the rotor 1, that is, the boss 221 may extend in the radial direction of the stator yoke 21. From this, can be on the basis that does not increase tooth portion towards piece quantity, through set up boss 221 on tooth boots portion 222 for the distance between stator and the rotor 1 is closer, has reduced the magnetic resistance, has improved the magnetic conduction effect between stator and the rotor 1, and it is better to gather the magnetic effect, makes the magnetic field more easily by the stator of motor 100 in, has improved the performance of motor 100.
Alternatively, when one boss 221 is provided on each stator tooth 22, the bosses 221 are located on the same side in the thickness direction (e.g., the front-rear direction in fig. 1) of the stator tooth 22. For example, the boss 221 may be provided at the front end of the tooth shoe 222 on the front side of the stator tooth 22 at the same time, or at the rear end of the tooth shoe 222 on the rear side of the stator tooth 22 at the same time. This improves the balance performance of the motor 100, thereby further improving the overall performance of the motor 100.
Specifically, a side surface of the boss 221 adjacent to the rotor 1 is formed as a flat surface, an inclined plane, or an arc surface that is convex toward a direction away from the center of the rotor 1. For example, in the example of fig. 8, a side surface of the boss 221 adjacent to the rotor 1 is formed as a flat surface, and as another example, in the example of fig. 9, a side surface of the boss 221 adjacent to the rotor 1 is formed as an arc surface (e.g., a circular arc surface) that is convex toward a direction away from the center of the rotor 1. Simple structure and convenient processing.
Alternatively, the boss 221 is integrally formed with the stator teeth 22. For example, the boss 221 may be stamped and formed, but is not limited thereto. Simple process, high production efficiency and low processing cost. For the space between traditional motor 100 rotor 1 and stator tooth 22, magnetic conductivity is 1, and boss 221 in this embodiment is the extension structure of stator tooth 22, for example, boss 221 can be a part of silicon steel structure, and magnetic conductivity is obviously increased, has improved the magnetic conduction effect between stator and rotor 1, and the magnetism gathering effect is better for the magnetic field is more easily guided to the stator of motor 100, has improved the performance of motor 100.
Specifically, the structure and the size of each tooth punching sheet are identical. Therefore, the production efficiency of the tooth punching sheet and the utilization rate of materials can be improved.
According to some embodiments of the invention, an insulating support 4 is provided between the coil 3 and the adjacent stator tooth 22. For example, referring to fig. 1, 3, 4, and 5, the insulating support 4 may be formed in a plate-shaped structure. The insulating support 4 may be fitted over the stator teeth 22. This can improve the insulation between the coil 3 and the adjacent stator teeth 22, thereby further improving the slot fill factor.
Of course, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that the insulation between the coil 3 and the adjacent stator teeth 22 can also be achieved by spraying insulating varnish on the stator teeth 22 or by injection molding plastic on the stator teeth 22.
According to some embodiments of the present invention, the stator teeth 22 are formed with the bayonet 223, the bayonet 223 is formed by a first side wall of the stator teeth 22 being recessed toward a second side wall opposite to the first side wall, the first side wall being a side wall surface (for example, a front side wall surface or a rear side wall surface in fig. 1) of the stator teeth 22 in the axial direction of the rotor 1, and the stator teeth 22 are adapted to be snapped onto the stator yoke 21 through the bayonet 223.
Wherein, when the first sidewall is a front sidewall surface of the stator tooth 22, the bayonet 223 may be formed by the front sidewall of the stator tooth 22 being recessed toward a rear sidewall of the stator tooth 22, and when the first sidewall is a rear sidewall surface of the stator tooth 22, the bayonet 223 may be formed by the rear sidewall of the stator tooth 22 being recessed toward the front sidewall of the stator tooth 22. Alternatively, the cross-section of the bayonet 223 may be formed in a square or rectangular shape. Thereby, it is convenient to snap the stator teeth 22 to the stator yoke 21, thereby facilitating the assembly of the stator.
Further, the inner circumferential wall of the stator yoke 21 and/or the outer circumferential wall of the stator yoke 21 are provided with locking grooves 211 which are engaged with the locking grooves 223. Specifically, the notch 211 that fits the bayonet 223 may be provided only on the inner circumferential wall of the stator yoke 21, and at this time, the notch 211 may be formed by the inner circumferential wall of the stator yoke 21 being recessed toward the outer circumferential wall of the stator yoke 21; or, the locking groove 211 that is engaged with the locking notch 223 is only provided on the outer circumferential wall of the stator yoke 21, in this case, the locking groove 211 may be formed by the outer circumferential wall of the stator yoke 21 being recessed toward the inner circumferential wall of the stator yoke 21; or, the inner circumferential wall and the outer circumferential wall of the stator yoke 21 are provided with the locking grooves 211 matched with the locking grooves 223. Therefore, in the assembling process, the bayonet 223 can be clamped at the clamping groove 211, so that the clamping accuracy of the stator teeth 22 is improved, in the running process of the motor 100, the stator teeth 22 and the stator yoke 21 can be effectively prevented from moving relatively in the circumferential direction of the stator yoke 21, the stator teeth 22 are prevented from loosening, and the reliability of the motor 100 is improved.
According to some embodiments of the present invention, the stator yoke 21 includes a plurality of sub-stator yokes 212 connected end to end in sequence along the circumferential direction, and an abutting surface is provided between two adjacent sub-stator yokes 212, and when the stator teeth 22 are clamped on the stator yokes 21, the abutting surface is located in the bayonet 223.
Specifically, referring to fig. 1 in combination with fig. 2 to 5, the abutting surfaces include a first abutting surface 213 and a second abutting surface 214, wherein the first abutting surface 213 may be an abutting surface where the boss 2122 is matched with the slot 211, and an abutting surface between two adjacent sub stator yoke portions 212 except for the first abutting surface 213 is a "second abutting surface 214". When the stator teeth 22 are snapped onto the stator yoke 21, the first abutment surface 213 and the second abutment surface 214 are located in the bayonet 223 of the corresponding stator tooth 22. Therefore, the overall structural strength of the stator can be improved, and due to process reasons, gaps are likely to be formed at the abutting surfaces (i.e., the first abutting surface 213 and the second abutting surface 214), so that the magnetic resistance is increased, and after the bayonet 223 is clamped at the abutting surfaces, the contact between the stator teeth 22 and the abutting surfaces can be increased, so that the magnetic resistance increased by the gaps is reduced.
In the assembling process, after the plurality of strip yoke punching sheets are punched and stacked, the plurality of strip yoke punching sheets are extruded and bent through a tool, the plurality of strip yoke punching sheets are adjusted into an annular structure, then the convex part 2122 at one end of each strip yoke punching sheet extends into the concave part 2121 at the other end of each strip yoke punching sheet, and finally the joint of the first butt joint surface 213 and the second butt joint surface 214 is welded or bonded to fix the shape of the stator yoke 21.
Alternatively, the recess 2121 is formed as a U-shaped groove or a V-shaped groove, but is not limited thereto. For example, the concave portion 2121 may be formed as a rectangular groove, a trapezoidal groove, or a semicircular groove, which is simple in structure and convenient to process.
Optionally, the rotor 1 is a permanent magnet magnetic ring structure, but is not limited thereto.
According to the motor 100 provided by the embodiment of the invention, the utilization rate of the axial magnetic field of the rotor 1 is improved, the clamping positions of the stator teeth 22 and the stator yoke 21 are accurate, the degree of freedom of the stator teeth 22 in the circumferential direction of the stator yoke 21 is limited in the operation process of the motor 100, and the reliability of the motor 100 is improved.
A water pump according to an embodiment of the second aspect of the invention comprises a motor 100 according to the above-described embodiment of the first aspect of the invention.
According to the water pump of the embodiment of the second aspect of the present invention, by providing the motor 100 according to the embodiment of the first aspect of the present invention, the overall performance of the water pump is improved.
