Definitions

  • This invention relates generally to electric motors and, more particularly, to a line start magnetically salient rotor AC electric motor.
  • Line start permanent magnet motors include rotors having permanent magnets and induction squirrel-cages.
  • the induction squirrel cages enable starting on a conventional AC power source, and the permanent magnets improve motor efficiency.
  • Such rotors sometimes are referred to herein as divided magnet rotors.
  • a divided magnet rotor includes a rotor core, a rotor shaft, permanently magnetized locations, and secondary conductors.
  • the rotor shaft extends through the rotor core and is coaxial with the rotor core axis of rotation.
  • the secondary conductors also extend through the rotor core and are arranged axially with respect to the rotor shaft. Such secondary conductors are offset from the outer circumference or periphery of the rotor core and are connected at opposite ends of the core by end rings. Notches at the outer periphery of the rotor core typically are radially aligned with at least one secondary conductor. Permanent magnets are located in the notches and the permanent magnets are magnetized to form a selected number of poles.
  • the rotor bars in the squirrel cage typically are skewed. Skewing is accomplished by slightly turning the rotor laminations with respect to each other so that the passages formed by overlapping slots of the rotor laminations are generally helical in shape. In a divided magnet rotor, skewing the laminations is difficult. Particularly, some magnetic materials that may be used for the permanent magnets are brittle and prevent such skewing.
  • open slot rotors generally provide advantages over closed slot rotors.
  • the flux flows through the bridge (i.e. , the region of iron immediately towards the rotor outer diameter from the rotor bar) and saturates the bridge depending on the rotor current.
  • the level of current at which the bridge saturates will be passed through four times per cycle, causing time harmonics in the stator current. These time harmonics create the basic forcing function for a class of noise.
  • the leakage flux which causes the bridge to saturate reduces the torque produced by the machine at that current level and in turn raises the losses related to current flow at a give torque.
  • An open slot rotor does not provide a high permeability path for this component of the leakage flux. Open slot rotors, however, typically are more difficult to fabricate than closed slot rotors.
  • a divided magnet rotor includes a stepped skew rather than a helical skew.
  • the stepped skew enables the use of straight magnet sections that can be inserted into the rotor core notches thereby eliminating the need to produce a helix from the rotor cage.
  • the stepped skew is effective in decoupling stator slot order harmonics.
  • the stepped skew rotor includes, in some embodiments, open slots so that the rotor is not subject to rotor bridge saturation.
  • the divided magnet rotor includes a rotor core, a rotor shaft, permanently magnetized locations, and secondary conductors. The rotor shaft extends through the rotor core and is coaxial with the rotor core axis of rotation.
  • the rotor core includes rotor laminations in a stack arranged in at least two sets.
  • the slots in the first set of laminations have skew portions extending laterally in a first direction
  • the slots in the second set of laminations have skew portions extending laterally in a second direction opposite the first direction.
  • the radially inner portions of corresponding slots in the first and second sets of rotor laminations overlap each other. Such a configuration forms a stepped skew.
  • Notches, or channels extend from an outer diameter (OD) of the rotor laminations to the skew portion of each respective slot.
  • the notches extend axially, and permanent magnets are located in the notches. Specifically, straight magnet sections of permanently magnetized material are inserted into the notches. The straight magnet sections are magnetized to form a selected number of poles.
  • the secondary conductors extend through the rotor core slots and are arranged axially with respect to the rotor shaft. The secondary conductors are offset from the outer circumference or periphery of the rotor core and are connected at opposite ends of the core by end rings.
  • the above described divided magnet rotor has a stepped skew rather than a helical skew.
  • the stepped skew enables the use of straight magnet sections that can be inserted into the rotor thereby eliminating the need to produce a helix from the rotor cage.
  • the stepped skew is effective in decoupling stator slot order harmonics.
  • the rotor has open slots so that the rotor is not subject to rotor bridge saturation.

  • the rotors may be used in many different motor configurations including many different stator configurations.
  • a divided magnet stepped skew rotor includes a squirrel cage with permanent magnets secured at an outer periphery of the rotor laminations.
  • the stepped skew enables the use of straight sections of permanent magnets rather than requiring that the permanent magnets be skewed.
  • This rotor configuration facilitates the fabrication of divided magnet rotors since the stepped skew enables use of straight magnetic sections yet also is effective in decoupling stator slot order harmonics.
  • the rotor has open slots so that the rotor is not subject to rotor bridge saturation.

  • the start winding is de-energized. If the furnace is to operate in the high fire mode, switching unit 278 causes the first main winding to remain energized. As a result, motor 250 operates as an induction motor in a relatively higher speed, four pole mode of operation. If the furnace is to operate in the low fire mode, however, switching unit 278 energizes the second main winding and the first main winding is de-energized. As a result, the rotor speed decreases.

  • the magnetic fields of such windings and rotor secondary conductors C couple and rotor R begins to rotate. Since the first main winding and start winding are energized to form four poles, the magnetic fields of such windings do not effectively couple to the magnetic fields of permanent magnets
  • Rotor R then rotates at substantially the synchronous speed for the six pole configuration, i.e., 1200 ⁇ m. As described above, rotor R is “dragged” or “coasts” into synchronous speed rather than “pushed” into synchronous speed. Enabling rotor R to coast into synchronous speed is much easier than attempting to "push” rotor R into synchronous speed with a lower pole induction winding, which is typical in known line start synchronous A.C. motors. Additional details relating to starting and running divided magnet motors are set forth, for example, in U.S. Patent No. 5,758,709, which is assigned to the present assignee and hereby inco ⁇ orated herein, in its entirety, by reference.

  • the specific structure of motor 250 such as the type of bearing assemblies 262 and 264 and motor frame, of course, may also vary. Switches other than centrifugal force responsive switches can be used for the one speed unit. For example, a rotor speed sensor and switch mounted to stator 270 or optic based controls could be utilized.
  • laminations are stamped from steel. As is well known, each lamination may be annealed or otherwise treated so that a coating of insulating material is formed thereon. Laminations are then stacked, for example in two sets, to a desired height to form the rotor core. Rotor laminations are stacked so that radially inner portions of the slots are aligned, and the skew portions in the first set are offset from the skew portions in the second set.
