Description

  The present invention relates to an electric motor including a rotor and a stator.

  Conventionally, as this kind of electric motor, a rotating electric machine including a rotor and a stator is known (for example, see Patent Document 1). In this rotating electrical machine, the rotor includes a rotor core and a pair of end plates provided on both outer sides in the axial direction of the rotor core and made of an aluminum alloy.

  However, when stainless steel is used as the non-magnetic material and each end plate is configured, the material is expensive and it is difficult to reduce the material cost. In addition, when stainless steel is used as the material, the workability deteriorates due to the tenacity that is a characteristic of stainless steel, and the processing cost increases. In addition, when aluminum is used as the material, the rotor balance that corrects the rotation balance by making a hole in the end plate makes it difficult to balance the rotation of the rotor due to the small specific gravity that is a characteristic of aluminum. An extra processing time is required to adjust the process, and in this case as well, the processing cost increases. Each end plate is preferably made of a non-magnetic material from the viewpoint of preventing magnetic flux leakage.

  This invention is made | formed in view of the above, Comprising: It aims at providing the cheap electric motor which can be processed at low cost using an inexpensive material.

  According to the present invention, the pair of first side plates is a non-magnetic material, the pair of second side plates is a magnetic material, and the non-magnetic material and the magnetic material are arbitrary materials, The electric motor can be configured at low cost. That is, for example, by using aluminum as the non-magnetic material and using iron as the magnetic material, for example, the material cost can be suppressed and the specific gravity can be increased. There is an effect that the processing time for stabilizing the rotation balance of the rotor can be minimized. Further, for example, by using iron as the magnetic material, it is possible to easily perform the processing, and thus it is possible to reduce the processing cost.

The motor 1 includes a shaft 7 serving as a rotating shaft, a rotor 5 serving as a rotating side, and a stator 6 serving as a fixed side.

  Here, the rotor 5 will be described. As shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, the rotor 5 includes a rotor core 10 having a permanent magnet 22 therein, and a pair of first electrodes provided on both outer sides in the axial direction of the rotor core 10. The side plate 11 and a pair of second side plates 12 provided on both outer sides in the axial direction of the first side plate 11, and the rivets 13 connect the first side plates 11 and the second side plates 12 to each other. It is fixed to the rotor core 10.

  The rotor core 10 is formed in a cylindrical shape by laminating plate-shaped electromagnetic steel plates in the axial direction, and a shaft hole 20 through which the shaft 7 is inserted is formed through the shaft center.

Each magnet mounting hole 23 extends in an orthogonal direction perpendicular to the radial direction and has a rectangular portion 23a formed in a flat plate shape extending in the axial direction, and outward from both radial ends of the rectangular portion 23a. And a pair of arc portions 23b formed in an arc shape. Then, the four permanent magnets 22 are mounted in the rectangular portions 23a of the four magnet mounting holes 23 so that the polarities are alternated.

  The pair of first side plates 11 is made of a nonmagnetic material, for example, a PET film. Each first side plate 11 is formed in a disk shape having a shorter diameter than the diameter of the rotor core 10, and a plurality of rivet insertion holes 21 b through which the rivets 13 are inserted are formed on the disk surface (in the first embodiment). For example, two). As shown in FIG. 3, the thickness D <b> 1 of each first side plate 11 is the same as the length of the gap D <b> 2 between the rotor 5 and the stator 6. In the first embodiment, a PET film is used as the non-magnetic material. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and a material such as aluminum, stainless steel, paper, resin film, rubber, or resin tape may be used. In the first embodiment, the first side plate 11 has a single-layer structure, but a multi-layer structure may be formed using various nonmagnetic materials. Furthermore, in Embodiment 1, although the diameter of the 1st side plate 11 was comprised shorter than the diameter of the rotor core 10, it should just be below the same diameter.

  A pair of 2nd side plate 12 is comprised with the magnetic body, for example, is comprised with iron. At this time, since each second side plate 12 is made of iron, processing is easy. Each of the second side plates 12 is formed in a disk shape having a shorter diameter than the diameter of the rotor core 10, and a plurality of rivet insertion holes 21c through which the rivets 13 are inserted are formed on the disk surface (the embodiment). In FIG. 1, for example, two are formed through, and a balance adjusting hole 25 for adjusting the rotational balance of the rotor 5 is formed through. At this time, the diameter of each second side plate 12 is formed to be the same as the diameter of each first side plate 11. In the first embodiment, the second side plate 12 has a single-layer structure, but a magnetic material and a non-magnetic material may be mixed to form a multilayer structure. In the first embodiment, the diameter of the second side plate 12 is configured to be shorter than the diameter of the rotor core 10.

  Accordingly, the permanent magnets 22 are mounted in the four magnet mounting holes 23 of the rotor core 10, the pair of first side plates 11 are disposed on both outer sides in the axial direction of the rotor core 10, and the shafts of the pair of first side plates 11 are disposed. A pair of second side plates 12 are arranged on both outer sides in the direction. Then, the two rivets 13 are respectively inserted into the two rivet insertion holes 21a, 21b, and 21c formed in the rotor core 10, the first side plate 11, and the second side plate 12, respectively, and the ends of the rivets 13 are crushed. The rotor 5 is created by fixing them so as to be integrated.

  Next, the stator 6 will be described with reference to FIG. 1. The stator 6 includes a stator core 30 having an electromagnet 35 therein, and the stator core 30 is formed by laminating plate-shaped electromagnetic steel plates in the axial direction. It is configured in a cylindrical shape. In addition, a plurality of slots 31 (for example, 12 in the first embodiment) into which a magnet wire can be wound are formed on the inner peripheral surface of the stator core 30 so as to be immersed. A coil 32a is wound between the slot 31a and the slot 31d via the slots 31b and 31c, and a magnet wire is wound between the slot 31e and the slot 31h via the slots 31f and 31g. Between the coil 31b and the coil 32c formed by winding a magnet wire between the slot 31i and the slot 31l via the slots 31j and 31k, and the magnet between the slot 31c and the slot 31f via the slots 31d and 31e.

Then, by supplying electric power to the coils 32a, 32b, 32c, 32d, 32e, and 32f, magnetic flux is generated around the axial center of the coils and becomes an electromagnet 35.

  Here, since the thickness D1 of each first side plate 11 is the same as the length of the gap D2 between the rotor 5 and the stator 6, the magnetic path K1 passing through the second side plate 12 The magnetic resistance and the magnetic resistance of the magnetic flux path K2 passing through the stator core 30 are substantially the same.

  Next, a series of operations of the motor 1 according to the first embodiment will be described. When electric power is supplied to the stator 6 of the motor 1, a magnetic force is generated in the stator 6 as a current flows through the wound coil 32. At this time, an attractive force acts between the magnetic force generated in the stator 6 and the magnetic force of the permanent magnet 22 of the rotor 5, whereby the rotor 5 rotates with respect to the stator 6. At this time, the rotor 5 is configured such that each first side plate 11 is made of a non-magnetic material, so that leakage of the magnetic flux of the permanent magnet 22 can be prevented, and each second side plate 12 can be prevented. Therefore, the balance adjusting hole 25 can be easily processed while being made of an inexpensive material.

  According to the above configuration, each first side plate 11 can be made of a non-magnetic material, while each second side plate 12 can be made of a magnetic material. An inexpensive magnetic material can be used, and thereby the material cost of the motor 1 can be reduced. In addition, the processing cost can be reduced by using a magnetic material that can be easily processed for each second side plate 12. Therefore, the material cost and processing cost of the motor 1 can be reduced, and the manufacturing cost of the motor 1 can be reduced.

  Further, by forming the balance adjustment hole 25 in each second side plate 12 that is easy to process, the rotational balance of the rotor 5 can be stabilized.

  Furthermore, since the thickness D1 of each first side plate 11 can be formed to be the same as the length of the gap D2 between the rotor 5 and the stator 6, it is possible to suppress a reduction in the operating efficiency of the motor 1. Can do. In the first embodiment, the thickness D1 of each first side plate 11 and the length of the gap D2 between the rotor 5 and the stator 6 are the same length. However, the first side plate is not limited to this. 11 may be made longer than the length of the gap D2 between the rotor 5 and the stator 6. In this case, although the thickness D1 of each first side plate 11 is increased, it is possible to suitably suppress a reduction in the operating efficiency of the motor 1.
