Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a two-axis synchronous reversal drive motor, and more particularly to a drive motor for a two-axis gear pump, a roots blower, a screw compressor, etc. Regarding

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, a drive motor of an apparatus that requires such two axes to be inverted at the same time is generally driven by one axis, and a two-axis synchronous inversion drive is generally performed by a gear. However, Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 4-178143 proposes a drive motor that synchronously reverses two axes simultaneously. This type of motor has a permanent magnet installed around the outer circumference.
Two rotors are arranged with a predetermined gap, and the different magnetic pole surfaces of each rotor are attracted to face each other to form a magnetic coupling, and an armature is arranged with a predetermined gap on the outer circumference of each rotor. The rotor is inverted and rotated by the space moving magnetic field of the armature. According to the drive motor of this system, the two axes can be directly driven to perform synchronous reversal without using a gear due to the magnetic coupling. or,
Since no gear is required, the two shafts can be driven synchronously in reverse without having a mechanical connection between the two rotors.

[0003]

In the motor of the above method, when the torque is generated, the magnetic pole of the permanent magnet of the rotor is attracted by the space moving magnetic field of the armature to generate the rotational driving force. Therefore, the output is limited to about several hundred W. However, there is a need, for example from roots blowers, screw compressors, etc., that has a power output of several kW and that wants to synchronously reverse the two axes without using gears.

The present invention has been made in view of the above problems of the prior art, and is a two-axis type in which two rotary axes are coupled by a magnetic coupling and high-output two-axis synchronous reversal drive can be performed. An object is to provide a synchronous reversal induction motor.

[0006]

By coupling the rotating shafts or rotors of the two induction motors with a magnetic coupling, even if an imbalance of torque occurs between the two shafts, the torque is compensated through the magnetic coupling. The two induction motors can be operated with almost the same slip . Immediate Chi, torque applied to the first axis is greater than the torque applied to the second axis, the slip of the induction motor connected to the first shaft is going will lower the rotational speed increases. At this time, the induction motor of the second shaft receives a load through the magnetic coupling, and the slip also becomes large. As a result, the second shaft supplies torque to the first shaft through the magnetic coupling. As a result, both of them rotate in synchronization. Further, in this magnetic coupling, since each rotary shaft or rotor is the main shaft of the induction motor and each has a power source, it is an auxiliary force (coupling force) for synchronously reversing the two axes. It is sufficient that the torque can be effectively transmitted. In addition, the permanent magnet that constitutes the magnetic coupling

The first and second embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

FIG. 1 is a vertical sectional view taken along the axis of rotation (A) showing a structure of a two-axis synchronous reversal induction motor of a first embodiment of the present invention, and (B) a transverse sectional view orthogonal to the axis of rotation. is there. The two induction motors 1a and 1b are each an inner rotor type, and the main shafts 2a and 2b are directly connected to, for example, respective cage rotors, and are driven by a space moving magnetic field formed by a stator armature arranged outside the rotors. It is driven to rotate. Disc-shaped permanent magnet fixed yokes 3a and 3b are fixed to the main shafts 2a and 2b of the two induction motors 1a and 1b, respectively, and 2n poles (n is an integer) are attached to the outer circumferences of the fixed yokes 3a and 3b. The magnetized permanent magnets 4a and 4b for magnetic coupling are circumferentially provided around the axis so that magnetic flux is generated at equal intervals in the radial direction on the object. A predetermined gap (clearance) t is provided between the two permanent magnets 4a and 4b.
Is provided.

When the rotary shafts 2a and 2b of the two induction motors rotate in opposite directions, their respective fixed yokes 3
Between the north poles and the south poles of the permanent magnets 4a and 4b on the outer circumferences of a and 3b, different magnetic pole faces attract each other to form a magnetic coupling. At this time, the magnitude of the magnetic attraction force between the different magnetic pole surfaces between the two rotors is inversely proportional to the gap t ² . In order to cancel this suction force, it suffices to suck each rotor or rotating shaft in a direction opposite to the suction force with a force of the same magnitude. For this reason, balancer magnetic bodies 5a and 5b are provided on the outer circumferences of the two fixed yokes 3a and 3b at positions facing the magnetic couplings on the outer sides of the magnetic pole surfaces of the permanent magnets 4a and 4b. The balancer magnetic bodies 5a and 5b may be, for example, high-permeability iron cores or the like, and may generate attraction forces to the permanent magnets 4a and 4b on the outer circumferences of the stator yokes 3a and 3b. The balancer magnetic bodies 5a and 5b are adjusted in size and distance from the outer peripheral surface so as to generate attraction forces of the same magnitude as the attraction force of the magnetic coupling in opposite directions.

FIG. 2 shows the characteristics of the induction motor, and is a torque characteristic curve showing the relationship between the slip S on the horizontal axis and the torque T on the vertical axis. It is assumed that the load torque T of the induction motors 1a and 1b is at points 7a and 7b on the torque characteristic curve, respectively, in the absence of magnetic coupling. Here, the rotary shafts 2a, 2b of the two electric motors 1a, 1b
, The electric motor 1a having a large load torque is supplied with torque from the other electric motor 1b so that the two electric motors 1a and 1b rotate in the same phase. It will operate at point 7c. Therefore, the magnetic coupling only needs to compensate for the difference between the two torques, and the burden is greatly reduced compared to the conventional spatially moving magnetic field of the stator armature magnetically coupling to drive the rotating shaft. . Further, it is preferable that the two induction motors employ devices having the same characteristics. It is preferable to supply the electric power from one power source to the two induction motors 1a and 1b for the synchronous operation, and even when the variable speed drive is performed by the inverter or the like.
It is preferable to operate with a single inverter.

FIG. 3 is a sectional view of a plane orthogonal to the rotation axis showing the structure of the two-axis synchronous reversal induction motor of the second embodiment of the present invention . In the present embodiment, permanent magnets magnetized to 2n poles (n is an integer) are provided around the outer circumferences of the rotors 9a and 9b of the two induction motors having the outer rotor structure, and the magnetic flux is radially symmetrical at equal intervals with respect to the axis. It is laid out to occur. Two
A predetermined gap (clearance) t is provided between the two permanent magnets 10a and 10b.

The two rotors 9a and 9b are respectively connected to a rotary shaft (not shown), and two shafts such as a two-shaft gear pump or a roots blower are synchronously inverted. The stators 8a and 8b of the outer rotor type induction motors 12a and 12b form a rotating space moving magnetic field, and generate induced currents in the rotors (rotors) 9a and 9b made of, for example, cage-shaped conductor rods to form a power source. The rotors 9a and 9b are rotationally driven at a rotational speed slower by a certain slip S than the rotational speed of the space moving magnetic field.

When the rotors 9a and 9b of the two induction motors rotate in opposite directions, different magnetic pole faces are attracted to face each other between the N and S poles of the permanent magnets 1a and 1b on the outer circumferences of the rotors. The ring is constructed. At this time, the means for canceling out the attraction force of the permanent magnets 10a, 10b between the two rotors is the same as in the first embodiment.
It is realized by providing the balancer magnetic bodies 11a and 11b on the outside of 10b. Even in this case, the operating principle is as described in the first embodiment.

In the two-axis synchronous reversal induction motor of the present invention, permanent magnets are provided around the rotors or rotating shafts of the two induction motors.
Each rotor or rotary shaft is arranged with a predetermined clearance so that the above-mentioned circumferentially arranged permanent magnets do not come into contact with each other to form a magnetic coupling. Therefore, by utilizing the property that the induction motor rotates with the slip S, even if a torque imbalance occurs between the two shafts, it is possible to rotate in synchronization with each other while compensating for the torque. For this reason, it is preferable that each induction motor be driven by the same power source, and only one driving power source is required. However, when two induction motors are driven from one power source, the power source capacity per one unit becomes small, and there is a risk of stepping out with respect to sudden torque fluctuations. For this reason, it is preferable to apply a soft start, for example, with an inverter.

The permanent magnets constituting the above-mentioned magnetic coupling are magnetized in the radial direction, and are arranged axially symmetrically, and a pair of permanent magnets exert an attractive force in the opposite direction to an attractive force acting between the permanent magnets. The balancer magnetic body is fixedly arranged on the opposite side of the facing surface of the permanent magnets from the permanent magnet with a predetermined clearance. Therefore, the rotating shaft of the induction motor is in a balanced state by receiving the attractive force from both the magnetic coupling side and the balancer magnetic body side, and the rotor of the induction motor can smoothly rotate the rotor.

In this embodiment, the permanent magnet magnetized in the radial direction is used on the outer circumference of the rotor. However, the permanent magnets constituting the magnetic coupling are magnetized in the axial direction and each of them is axially magnetized. You may make it arrange | position with maintaining a predetermined clearance regarding a direction. Further, the magnetic pole of the permanent magnet forming the magnetic coupling may be detected by using a magnetic sensor such as a Hall element to detect the speed or phase state of the rotating shaft. It can also be used as a protection device from the detected signal, such as stopping the induction motor when an abnormality occurs. As described above, various modified embodiments are possible without departing from the spirit of the present invention.
