Detailed Description
Hereinafter, an embodiment of an outer rotor permanent magnet rotating electrical machine will be described with reference to the drawings.
[ example 1]
Fig. 1 shows an embodiment 1 of an outer rotor permanent magnet rotary electric machine. Fig. 1 is a view showing a radial structure (a direction showing a diameter of a rotor) of a permanent magnet rotating electrical machine. The outer rotor permanent magnet rotating electrical machine 1 of the present embodiment includes a rotor 4 and a stator 7, the rotor 4 being composed of a rotor core 2 and a permanent magnet 3, the rotor core 2 and the permanent magnet 3 being formed in an annular shape around a rotation shaft (not shown), and the stator 7 being disposed with a predetermined gap on the inner diameter side of the rotor 4, and being composed of a stator core 5 and a coil 6, the stator being formed in an annular shape. Here, the permanent magnet 3 is preferably of a surface magnet type disposed on the surface of the rotor core 2. The inner diameter side refers to a direction in which the rotor or the like is located on a diameter thereof and faces a rotation axis direction of the rotor, and the opposite direction is referred to as an outer diameter side.
As a result, the permanent magnets 3 are disposed on the surface of the rotor core 2, thereby reducing the leakage flux when the flux is short-circuited in the rotor, increasing the effective flux, and increasing the output. The coil 6 is preferably mounted to the stator core 5 by concentrated winding. This shortens the length of the axially short portion of the coil 6, shortens the axial length of the outer rotor permanent magnet rotating electrical machine 1, and can achieve downsizing.
It is preferable that the portion (slot 8) of the stator core 5 where the coil 6 is disposed be an open slot. This facilitates insertion of the coil 6, and improves assemblability. Further, the vicinity of the gap (tooth tip) of the stator core 5 is shaped to protrude from the stator 7 toward the rotor 4. The tooth tips preferably have a radius of curvature smaller than the radius of the stator core 5. This can reduce the rate of change in magnetic resistance in the circumferential direction (indicating the circumferential direction of the rotor core 2 or the stator core 5), and can reduce torque ripple.
Here, a groove 9 as an open space portion having an opening on one side of the permanent magnet 3 is provided in the rotor core 2 at a position corresponding to the center in the width direction of the permanent magnet 3 (the circumferential direction of the inside of the rotor core 2). Fig. 2 shows an enlarged view of the vicinity of the groove 9 as an example of the clearance. The effect of the groove 9 is described using fig. 3. The arrows in fig. 3 indicate harmonic components of the magnetic flux. Normally, harmonic components of the magnetic flux are linked perpendicularly from the stator 7 to the permanent magnets 3, but by providing the slots 9, the slots 9 become reluctance, and harmonic components of the magnetic flux are linked to the magnets so as to be separated from each other in the slots 9.
This eliminates the component in the magnet width direction (circumferential direction of the rotor core 2) of the harmonic of the magnetic flux, reduces the harmonic component linked with the permanent magnet 3, and reduces the eddy current. Further, since the slot 9 becomes a magnetic resistance, the inductance is reduced, and thereby the motor power supply voltage at the time of driving can be reduced. In general, a permanent magnet rotating electrical machine is driven by an inverter, and there is an upper limit to the voltage at the time of driving, which becomes a restriction in design.
Therefore, by reducing the motor power supply voltage during driving, the degree of freedom in design can be increased, and the motor performance can be improved. In addition, the groove 9 can reduce the rate of change in the magnetic resistance in the circumferential direction of the gap between the rotor 4 and the stator 7, and can reduce torque ripple.
Next, the shapes of the grooves 9 are compared. Fig. 4 shows a comparison between the total loss (copper loss + iron loss + magnet eddy current loss) of the rotating electric machine and the voltage during driving when a trapezoidal, rectangular, or inverted trapezoidal groove shape is used. According to fig. 4, in the case where the groove 9 has a trapezoidal shape, the loss reduction effect and the voltage reduction effect are the greatest. Thus, the grooves 9 are preferably trapezoidal in shape. Further, the semicircular grooves 10 in fig. 5 and the triangular grooves 11 in fig. 6, which are nearly trapezoidal, can also obtain an effective effect.
Next, the sizes of the grooves 9 are compared. Fig. 7 shows the sum of losses with respect to the ratio of the widths of the permanent magnet 3 and the groove 9. According to fig. 7, the total loss is minimized in the vicinity of 0.25[ p.u. ] of the slot width/magnet width. In addition, when the groove width/magnet width > 0.40[ p.u. ], the total loss becomes significantly larger than the case where the groove 9 is not provided. Therefore, the groove width/magnet width is preferably 0.40[ p.u. ]. Further, the groove width/magnet width is preferably 0.10[ p.u ] or more.
Fig. 1 shows a 40-pole 48-slot outer rotor permanent magnet rotating machine, but the shape is not limited to this, and similar effects can be obtained with other slot combinations. Further, in the case where the outer rotor rotary electric machine has two rotations, the groove shape is preferably symmetrical about the central axis.
[ example 2]
Fig. 8 shows an outer rotor permanent magnet rotary electric machine 1 according to embodiment 2. In embodiment 1, the rotor core 2 is provided with the slots 9, but as shown in fig. 8, a closed space portion 12 may be provided in the rotor core 2 in the vicinity of the permanent magnets 3 as an example of a gap. When the slot 9 is provided, the contact area between the rotor core 2 and the permanent magnet 3 is reduced, and therefore, it may be difficult to fix the permanent magnet 3.
Further, the provision of the groove 9 may reduce the permeability (permeability) of the permanent magnet 3, thereby reducing the demagnetization resistance of the magnet. In the case where the closed space portion 12 is provided, problems regarding the strength and the permeance of these fixations become less. However, the closed space 12 may be more difficult to manufacture than the groove 9. However, when the rotor core 2, which is a steel plate, is formed by punching, no problem arises. A plurality of punched rotor cores 2 are stacked to produce a rotor core 2.
The positions of the closed space portions 12 are compared. Fig. 9 shows the sum of losses for the void positions. The gap position is a distance from the surface of the permanent magnet 3 on the rotor core 2 side to the surface on the inner diameter side of the closed space portion 12. According to FIG. 9, the loss is minimized in the vicinity of the gap positions 1.0 mm to 1.5 mm. Further, there is a possibility that the total loss becomes larger than that in the case where there is no gap if the gap position is more than 3.0[ mm ]. Thus, the position of the gap is preferably 3.0[ mm ] or less. The shape, size, and the like of the closed space 12 are preferably the same as those of the groove 9. Further, the air does not necessarily have to be filled in the gap, and a non-magnetic material such as resin may be used. The shape of the closed space 12 may be trapezoidal, rectangular, inverted trapezoidal, or semicircular, as in the shape of a groove.
[ example 3]
Fig. 10 shows a configuration example of embodiment 3 of an outer rotor permanent magnet rotating electrical machine according to an application example of an outer rotor rotating electrical machine elevator hoisting machine. Fig. 10 shows only 1/2 in an axial cross section, and hatching is drawn on the rotation portion. The rotor shaft 16 and the rotor core 2 shown in the lower part of fig. 10 are connected to the permanent magnets 3, and the rotor 4 including the rotor core 2 and the permanent magnets 3 rotates with respect to the stator 7 with a predetermined gap therebetween by the rotation of the rotor shaft. In fig. 10, a gap such as the groove 9 is omitted.
As shown in fig. 10, in the elevator hoisting machine, a sheave 14 for winding a wire rope 13 of the elevator hoisting machine and a brake 15 for mechanically stopping rotation are attached to an outer rotor permanent magnet rotating machine 1, and the wire rope connected to a car is wound up.
According to the present embodiment, since the outer rotor permanent magnet rotating electrical machine is used which is reduced in size by improving the cooling performance due to the above-described reduction in loss, the weight of the elevator hoisting machine can be reduced, and the cost for installation can be reduced. In addition, the torque ripple of the outer rotor permanent magnet rotating electric machine can be reduced, and therefore the riding experience of the elevator can be improved.
