The physical size of the magnetic bearing device is reduced. In addition, the axial length of the rotating part is shorter than before, and the restriction due to the critical speed is reduced. These can be realized regardless of whether the rotating body has a vertical axis or a horizontal axis. The magnetic pole structure (the ring-shaped integrated magnetic pole and a plurality of independent magnetic poles) is as described above.

As described above, the flywheel type power storage device of the present invention has the following effects. (1) Since the magnetic pole of the upper magnetic bearing faces the upper inclined surface of the flywheel, and the magnetic pole of the lower magnetic bearing faces the lower inclined surface of the flywheel, both magnetic bearings simultaneously control the radial and thrust directions. it can. Therefore,
Compared to the case of using a conventional magnetic bearing device which is divided into a radial magnetic bearing and a thrust magnetic bearing, the size of the flywheel type power storage device as a whole and the size of the magnetic bearing device are reduced. In addition, the axial length of the rotating part is shorter than before, and the restriction due to the critical speed is reduced. (2) Of the upper magnetic bearing and the lower magnetic bearing, one of the magnetic poles is a ring-shaped integral magnetic pole, and the other magnetic pole is a plurality of independent magnetic poles, so that the flywheel position in the thrust direction and the radial direction is obtained. Control is relatively simple, and relatively good accuracy is obtained. (3) The generator / motor has an outer rotor structure, and the rotor is installed on the inner peripheral surface of the annular concave portion formed in the flywheel, so that the physical size of the entire flywheel type power storage device and the axial length of the rotating portion are reduced. It becomes even smaller.

Further, the magnetic bearing device of the present invention can be applied to devices other than the flywheel type power storage device, and the physical size of the magnetic bearing device is different from that of the magnetic bearing device which is divided into a radial magnetic bearing and a thrust magnetic bearing. Becomes smaller.
In addition, the axial length of the rotating part is shorter than before, and the restriction due to the critical speed is reduced. As the physique decreases, the production cost decreases.
