Description

  The present invention relates to a rotor of an axial gap type motor that is disposed opposite to a stator disposed in at least one of the rotation axis directions and that can rotate around the rotation axis, and a method for manufacturing the same.

  2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, a magnetic flux loop via a stator has been provided for a field magnetic flux generated by a permanent magnet of a rotor, which includes a rotor that can rotate around a rotating shaft and a stator that is disposed to face the rotor from at least one side in the rotating shaft direction. There is known an axial gap type motor that forms a ring (for example, Patent Document 1).

  As shown in FIG. 15A, the rotor 100 of the axial gap motor described in Patent Document 1 includes a field element laminated steel sheet having a plurality of permanent magnets 101 and a plurality of field element split laminated steel sheet portions 102. A magnet holding recess 105 into which the permanent magnet 101 can be inserted is formed in the steel plate constituting each field element split laminated steel plate portion 102. . The steel plate constituting the field element split laminated steel plate portion 102 has a locking claw 102a that protrudes in the circumferential direction toward each magnet holding recess 105 and locks to the permanent magnet 101 housed and held therein. It is formed. And as shown in FIG.15 (b), the latching claw 102a is pressed by the circumferential side surface of the permanent magnet 101 by the elastic restoring force in the center part of the lamination direction of a steel plate, and the circumferential direction of the said permanent magnet 101 is shown. Is restricted from moving.

JP 2008-278648 A

  However, in the rotor 100 of the axial gap motor described in Patent Document 1, the circumferential movement of the permanent magnet 101 in the magnet holding recess 105 can be restricted. If there is a gap between the permanent magnet 101 and the magnet holding recess 105 due to individual differences in dimensions, there is a risk of vibration occurring due to movement in the direction of the rotation axis. In an axial gap type motor, the main permanent magnet is magnetized in the direction of the rotation axis, and vibration in the direction of the rotation axis of the permanent magnet may occur due to the attractive force or repulsive force with the stator winding facing the direction of the rotation axis. Conceivable. When this axial gap motor 100 is used in an automobile, sound generated by vibration may lead to a decrease in drivability.

  On the other hand, if there is no gap between the permanent magnet 101 and the magnet holding recess 105, the coating applied to the permanent magnet 101 may be damaged when the permanent magnet 101 is inserted. Moreover, since the latching claw 102a which suppresses the movement of the permanent magnet 101 in the circumferential direction is formed of a steel plate, there is a possibility that the coating applied to the permanent magnet 101 may be damaged when the permanent magnet 101 is inserted. .

Further, even when there are individual differences in dimensions between the permanent magnet and the permanent magnet housing, the individual differences in the dimensions of the permanent magnet and the permanent magnet housing can be absorbed by the axial elastic member and the circumferential elastic member. Vibration can be suppressed. Therefore, even when this axial gap type motor is used in an automobile, it is possible to prevent a decrease in drivability due to sound generated due to vibration of the permanent magnet. Further, the permanent magnet coating can be prevented from being damaged, and an increase in eddy current loss in the permanent magnet can be suppressed, thereby improving the efficiency of the axial gap motor. In addition, since the coating is prevented from being damaged, the thickness of the coating can be reduced, and the output of the axial gap motor can be increased by increasing the size of the permanent magnet. Have
Further, when the permanent magnet is inserted into the permanent magnet housing portion, the distance that the axial elastic member is dragged by the permanent magnet is shortened, and the axial elastic member is prevented from being damaged, and the permanent magnet is moved within the permanent magnet housing portion.

According to the invention of claim 3, the thickness of the axial elastic member can be increased without changing the distance between the axial end surface of the permanent magnet and the axial inner wall surface of the permanent magnet mounting portion. Therefore, the elastic force of the axial direction side elastic member can be increased, and the movement of the permanent magnet in the permanent magnet housing portion in the direction of the rotation axis and the vibration suppressing effect can be further increased.

According to the invention of claim 4, the thickness of the circumferential elastic member can be increased without changing the distance between the circumferential end surface of the permanent magnet and the circumferential inner wall surface of the permanent magnet mounting portion. Thus, the elastic force of the circumferential side elastic member can be increased, and the effect of suppressing the movement of the permanent magnet in the circumferential direction and the vibration in the permanent magnet housing portion can be further increased.

According to the invention of claim 5, when the opening area of the first groove is smaller than the opening area of the second groove, the portion fitted into the first groove of the axial-direction elastic member that is a non-magnetic material is in the circumferential direction. Since it is smaller than the portion fitted in the second groove of the side elastic member, the axial side elastic member moves in the rotation axis direction and circumferential direction of the permanent magnet while reducing the portion that obstructs the flow of magnetic flux in the rotation axis direction. And vibration can be suppressed.

According to the sixth aspect of the present invention, the depth of the first groove in the rotation axis direction is shallower than the depth of the second groove in the rotation axis direction. Since the depth of the portion to be fitted becomes shallower than the depth of the portion to be fitted in the second groove of the circumferential side elastic member, the axial side elastic member is made small so as to prevent the flow of magnetic flux in the rotation axis direction, Movement and vibration of the permanent magnet in the rotation axis direction and circumferential direction can be suppressed.

According to the seventh aspect of the present invention, it is possible to suppress the movement and vibration of the permanent magnet in the rotation axis direction and the circumferential direction in the permanent magnet housing portion while reducing the amount of the elastic member used for elastic fixation.

According to the invention of claim 8, the distance between the axial end surface of the permanent magnet and the axial inner wall surface of the permanent magnet mounting portion and / or the circumferential end surface of the permanent magnet and the circumferential inner wall surface of the permanent magnet mounting portion Without changing the distance between the elastic members, the thickness of the elastic member can be increased, and the elastic force of the elastic member can be increased accordingly. The effect of suppressing movement and vibration can be further increased.

  According to the ninth aspect of the present invention, the elastic member prevents the flow of the magnetic flux of the main permanent magnet in the rotation axis direction from being easily disturbed, and the elastic member facilitates the flow of the magnetic flux of the main permanent magnet in the circumferential direction. The movement and vibration of the main permanent magnet in the permanent magnet housing portion in the rotation axis direction and the circumferential direction can be suppressed.

  According to the invention of claim 10, the area of the portion where the groove and the axial end surface of the permanent magnet face each other is smaller than the area of the portion where the groove and the circumferential end surface of the permanent magnet face each other, Since the portion that is fitted in the groove of the elastic member that is a non-magnetic material and faces the axial end surface of the permanent magnet is smaller than the portion that is fitted in the groove of the elastic member and faces the circumferential end surface of the permanent magnet, It is possible to suppress the movement and vibration of the permanent magnet in the rotation axis direction and the circumferential direction while reducing the portion that hinders the flow of magnetic flux in the rotation axis direction of the elastic member.

  According to the eleventh aspect of the present invention, it is possible to suppress the movement and vibration of the permanent magnet in the rotation axis direction and the circumferential direction in the permanent magnet housing portion while reducing the number of steps when configuring the rotor.

  According to the twelfth aspect of the present invention, the effective magnetic flux interlinked with the stator winding is relatively increased by the magnetic lens effect generated by the main permanent magnet and the sub permanent magnet. Although a strong force is applied, the movement of the main permanent magnet and the sub permanent magnet and the vibration can be suppressed by the axial direction elastic member and the circumferential direction elastic member also in that case.

According to the invention of claims 1 to 4, fixed to the rotating shaft direction and the circumferential direction the permanent magnet by the elastic force in the axial direction side elastic member and the circumferential side elastic member, the movement and vibration of the permanent magnet in the permanent magnet housing section Can be suppressed.
Further, even when there are individual differences in dimensions between the permanent magnet and the permanent magnet housing portion, the individual differences in the sizes of the permanent magnet and the permanent magnet housing portion can be absorbed by the axial side elastic member and the circumferential side elastic member. Vibration can be suppressed. Further, the permanent magnet coating can be prevented from being damaged. Therefore, even when this axial gap type motor is used in an automobile, it is possible to prevent a decrease in drivability due to sound generated due to vibration of the permanent magnet.

It is the flowchart which showed the flow of the manufacturing method of the rotor of the axial gap type motor of this embodiment. This is a rotor of an axial gap type motor described in Patent Document 1.

  Hereinafter, an embodiment of an axial gap type motor in which a rotor of an axial gap type motor according to the present invention is incorporated will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. The drawings are viewed in the direction of the reference numerals.

  For example, as shown in FIG. 1, the axial gap type motor 10 includes a substantially annular rotor 11 rotatably provided around the rotation axis O of the axial gap type motor 10, and the rotor 11 from both sides in the direction of the rotation axis O. And a pair of stators 12 and 12 each having a plurality of phases of stator windings that generate a rotating magnetic field that rotates the rotor 11.

  The axial gap type motor 10 is mounted as a drive source in a vehicle such as a hybrid vehicle or an electric vehicle, for example, and an output shaft is connected to an input shaft of a transmission (not shown), whereby the driving force of the axial gap type motor 10 is obtained. Is transmitted to drive wheels (not shown) of the vehicle via a transmission.

  Further, when the driving force is transmitted from the driving wheel side to the axial gap type motor 10 during deceleration of the vehicle, the axial gap type motor 10 functions as a generator to generate a so-called regenerative braking force, and the kinetic energy of the vehicle body is electrically converted. Recover as energy (regenerative energy). Further, for example, in a hybrid vehicle, when the rotating shaft of the axial gap type motor 10 is connected to the crankshaft of an internal combustion engine (not shown), the axial gap motor 10 is also axially transmitted when the output of the internal combustion engine is transmitted to the axial gap type motor 10. The gap type motor 10 functions as a generator and generates power generation energy.

  Each stator 12 has a substantially annular plate-shaped stator yoke portion 21 and a rotor 11 along the rotational axis O direction from a position spaced apart in the circumferential direction on the facing surface of the stator yoke portion 21 facing the rotor 11. , 22 extending in the radial direction and extending in the radial direction, and a stator winding (not shown) mounted between appropriate teeth 22, 22.

  Each stator 12 is, for example, a 6N type having six main poles (for example, U +, V +, W +, U−, V−, W−), and each U +, V +, W + pole of one stator 12. On the other hand, the U-, V-, and W-poles of the other stator 12 are set to face each other in the direction of the rotation axis O. For example, with respect to a pair of stators 12 and 12 opposed in the direction of the rotation axis O, three teeth 22 of one stator 12 corresponding to one of U +, V +, W + poles and one of U−, V−, W− poles, 22, 22 and the three teeth 22, 22, 22 of the other stator 12 corresponding to the other of the U +, V +, W + pole and the U−, V−, W− pole face each other in the direction of the rotation axis O. Thus, the energized state of the teeth 22 of one stator 12 and the teeth 22 of the other stator 12 facing each other in the direction of the rotation axis O is set so as to be reversed by an electrical angle.

  2 to 4, the rotor 11 includes a shaft portion 55, a plurality of main permanent magnets 41,..., 41, a plurality of sub permanent magnets 43,. , 42, a rotor frame 30 made of a nonmagnetic member, and an outer ring 50.

  As shown in FIG. 5, the plurality of yoke portions 42,..., 42 are configured by a laminated body 71 in which a tape-shaped electromagnetic steel sheet 60 is wound. The tape-shaped electromagnetic steel sheet 60 is punched using, for example, a press molding machine to form a main permanent magnet notch 61, a sub permanent magnet notch 62, and a magnetic flux short-circuit suppressing portion notch 63. (See FIG. 6). As shown in FIG. 5, the tape-shaped electromagnetic steel sheet 60 is wound by winding the core metal by rotating the core metal while fixing the winding start portion 64 on the annular core metal and applying tension to the electromagnetic steel sheet 60. The laminated body 71 is configured by cutting and welding at the end portion 65.

  Further, since the tape-shaped electromagnetic steel sheet 60 is wound on the core metal, the length in the longitudinal direction increases from the innermost layer to the first layer, the second layer, the third layer,. For this reason, the pitch of the center-to-center distance of the magnetic flux short-circuit suppressing portion notches 63 is set to gradually increase outward in the radial direction.

  In the laminated body 71 as the permanent magnet mounting portion wound in this manner, as shown in FIG. 6, a plurality of substantially fan-shaped multiple portions formed by the main permanent magnet notches 61 are formed in the intermediate portion in the rotation axis direction. The main permanent magnet housing portions 72, ..., 72 and a plurality of substantially rectangular parallelepiped magnetic flux short-circuit suppressing portions 73, ..., 73 formed by the magnetic flux short-circuit suppressing portion notches 63 are alternately arranged at predetermined intervals in the circumferential direction. Further, on both sides in the rotational axis direction, a plurality of sub-permanent magnet housing portions 74 having a substantially rectangular parallelepiped shape formed by a plurality of substantially fan-shaped yoke portions 42,... ,..., 74 are alternately provided at predetermined intervals in the circumferential direction.

  Further, the plurality of yoke portions 42,..., 42 are respectively arranged on both sides in the rotation axis direction of the plurality of main permanent magnet housing portions 72,... 72, and the plurality of sub permanent magnet housing portions 74,. Are arranged on both sides of the rotation axis direction of the magnetic flux short-circuit suppressing portions 73,. The main permanent magnet housing part 72 and the magnetic flux short circuit suppressing part 73 are partitioned by an axial direction connecting part 75 that connects the yoke parts 42 on both sides in the axial direction, and the sub permanent magnet housing part 74 and the magnetic flux short circuit suppressing part 73. 73 is partitioned by a circumferential connecting portion 76 that connects the yoke portions 42 on both sides in the circumferential direction.

  The main permanent magnet housing portions 72,..., 72 of the laminated body 71 thus configured have a plurality of substantially permanent fan-shaped main permanent magnets 41 having dimensions slightly smaller than the main permanent magnet housing portions 72,. ,... 41 are inserted from the opening on the outer peripheral side, and the secondary permanent magnet housing portions 74,..., 74 have a plurality of secondary permanent permanent magnets having dimensions slightly smaller than the housing portions 74,. Magnets 43,..., 43 are inserted from openings on the outer peripheral side. The main permanent magnets 41, ..., 41 and the sub permanent magnets 43, ..., 43 are each coated with an insulating film and / or a rust preventive film.

  Further, the secondary permanent magnet accommodating portion 74 includes a circumferential connecting portion 76 between adjacent yoke portions 42, and a protrusion 78 formed at the tip of an inclined surface 77 formed at the circumferential end of the yoke portion 42. Thus, the secondary permanent magnet 43 is positioned in the axial direction, and is positioned in the circumferential direction between the circumferential side surfaces of the adjacent yoke portions 42.

  Thus, the plurality of main permanent magnets 41,..., 41 are arranged at predetermined intervals in the circumferential direction, and the rotation direction is different so that the magnetization direction is different for each of the main permanent magnets 41, 41 adjacent in the circumferential direction. It is directed in the O direction. Further, the plurality of sub permanent magnets 43,..., 43 are arranged between the yoke portions 42 adjacent in the circumferential direction, and the magnetization direction thereof is directed in a direction (substantially circumferential direction) perpendicular to the rotation axis direction and the radial direction. Yes. The secondary permanent magnets 43 and 43 adjacent in the circumferential direction have different magnetization directions, and the secondary permanent magnets 43 and 43 adjacent in the rotation axis direction also have different magnetization directions.

Furthermore, the sub permanent magnets 43, 43 that sandwich the yoke portion 42 located on one side in the direction of the rotation axis O with respect to each main permanent magnet 41 from the both sides in the circumferential direction are magnetic poles on one side of the main permanent magnet 41. The secondary permanent magnets 43 and 43, which are disposed so that the same magnetic poles face each other and sandwich the yoke portion 42 located on the other side in the rotation axis direction from both sides in the circumferential direction, are the same as the magnetic poles on the other side of the main permanent magnet 41. The magnetic poles of the poles are arranged to face each other. Thereby, due to the magnetic flux lens effect due to the so-called Halbach arrangement of so-called permanent magnets, the magnetic fluxes of the main permanent magnet 41 and the auxiliary permanent magnets 43 and 43 converge, and the effective magnetic flux linked to the stators 12 and 12 is relatively relative. It is going to increase.
In addition, since each yoke portion 42,..., 42 is formed with an inclined surface 77 at its circumferential end, the polar arc angle is adjusted, and a sudden change in magnetic resistance between the stators 12 and 12 occurs. And the occurrence of torque ripple can be suppressed.

  Thus, the laminated body 71 that houses the main permanent magnet 41 and the sub permanent magnets 43 and 43 is attached to the rotor frame 30.

Since the circumferential side elastic member 82 is provided between the circumferential end surface 41 b of the main permanent magnet 41 and the circumferential inner wall surface 71 b of the laminated body 71 constituting the permanent magnet housing portion 72, the main permanent magnet 41 is The elastic force of the axial direction side elastic member 81 and the circumferential direction side elastic member 82 is fixed in the rotation axis direction and the circumferential direction, and the movement and vibration of the main permanent magnet 41 in the main permanent magnet accommodating portion 72 can be suppressed. In addition, even when the main permanent magnet 41 and the main permanent magnet housing portion 72 have individual differences in dimensions, the dimensions of the main permanent magnet 41 and the permanent magnet housing portion 72 by the axial-side elastic member 81 and the circumferential-side elastic member 82. Individual differences can be absorbed, and movement and vibration can be suppressed. Furthermore, the coating of the main permanent magnet 41 can be prevented from being damaged, and an increase in the efficiency of the axial gap motor 10 can be achieved by suppressing an increase in eddy current loss in the main permanent magnet 41.

You may arrange | position in arbitrary places, such as the center part of the wall surface 71b. However, the axial-side elastic member 81 is disposed only in the vicinity of the circumferential end of the axial inner wall surface 71 a of the laminate 71, and the circumferential-side elastic member 82 is the rotational axis end of the circumferential inner wall 71 b of the laminate 71. By disposing only in the vicinity of the portion, the amount of the axial direction side elastic member 81 and the circumferential direction side elastic member 82 required for elastic fixation is reduced, and the rotation direction and the circumferential direction of the main permanent magnet 41 in the main permanent magnet housing portion 72 are reduced.

Next, the elastic member of 2nd Embodiment is demonstrated with reference to FIG.
As shown in FIG. 8, the elastic member 80A of the present embodiment includes an axial-side elastic member 81A provided between the axial end surface 41a of the main permanent magnet 41 and the axial inner wall surface 71a of the laminated body 71, A circumferential-side elastic member 82A provided between the circumferential end surface 41b of the permanent magnet 41 and the circumferential inner wall surface 71b of the laminated body 71. The axial-side elastic member 81A is in the axial direction of the laminated body 71. The circumferential elastic member 82A is disposed in the vicinity of the circumferential end of the inner wall surface 71a, and the circumferential elastic member 82A is disposed in the vicinity of the rotational axis end of the circumferential inner wall 71b of the laminate 71.

  Here, the distance T1 between the axial end surface 41a of the main permanent magnet 41 and the axial inner wall surface 71a of the laminate 71 is equal to the circumferential end surface 41b of the main permanent magnet 41 and the circumferential inner wall surface 71b of the laminate 71. Is shorter than the distance T2. Thereby, the flow of the magnetic flux interlinking with the stator 12 of the main permanent magnet 41 in the rotation axis direction is hardly obstructed by the space or the axial side elastic member 81A, and the magnetic velocity of the main permanent magnet 41 in the circumferential direction is reduced.

A second concave groove 71d that partially accommodates the circumferential-side elastic member 82A is extended in the radial direction. Thereby, the distance T1 between the axial end surface 41a of the main permanent magnet 41 and the axial inner wall surface 71a of the laminated body 71, and the circumferential end surface 41b of the main permanent magnet 41 and the circumferential inner wall surface 71b of the laminated body 71 are. Without changing the distance T2, the thicknesses of the axial elastic member 81A and the circumferential elastic member 82A can be increased. Thereby, the elastic force of the axial direction elastic member 81A and the circumferential direction elastic member 82A can be increased, and the main permanent magnet 41 moves and vibrates in the rotation axis direction and the circumferential direction in the main permanent magnet housing portion 72. Can be suppressed. In addition, you may provide a ditch | groove only in either the axial direction inner wall surface 71a of the laminated body 71, or the circumferential direction inner wall surface 71b.

  Here, the opening area S1 of the first groove 71c is smaller than the opening area S2 of the second groove 71d, and the depth D1 of the first groove 71c is shallower than the depth D2 of the second groove 71d. Is set. Accordingly, the portion fitted into the first concave groove 71c of the axial-side elastic member 81A, which is a non-magnetic material, becomes smaller and shallower than the portion fitted into the second concave groove 71d of the circumferential-side elastic member 82A. The movement and vibration of the main permanent magnet 41 in the rotation axis direction and the circumferential direction can be suppressed while reducing the portion where the side elastic member 81A obstructs the flow of magnetic flux in the rotation axis direction.

  In the case where the elastic member 80 </ b> A of the present embodiment is provided between the inner wall surface of the laminate 71 constituting the sub permanent magnet housing portion 74 and the sub permanent magnet 43 accommodated in the sub permanent magnet housing portion 74, the circumferential direction On the side, the distance between the sub permanent magnet 43 and the inner wall surface of the laminated body 71 is made shorter than the axial direction side, and the opening area of the groove is set smaller and shallower on the circumferential side than the axial direction side. This is because in order to obtain the magnetic flux lens effect, it is necessary to make it difficult to block the flow of the magnetic flux in the circumferential direction of the sub permanent magnet 43 and to easily block the flow of the magnetic flux in the axial direction.

<Third Embodiment>
Next, the elastic member of 3rd Embodiment is demonstrated with reference to FIG.

Provided between the corner 71e where the axial inner wall surface 71a and the circumferential inner wall surface 71b intersect, the axial-side elastic portion 81B includes the axial end surface 41a of the main permanent magnet 41 and the axial inner wall surface 71a of the laminate 71. And the circumferential side elastic portion 82 </ b> B is located between the circumferential end surface 41 b of the main permanent magnet 41 and the circumferential inner wall surface 71 b of the laminated body 71. Accordingly, the number of the elastic members 80B required for elastic fixation is reduced, and the number of steps in configuring the rotor 11 is reduced, while the main permanent magnet 41 is moved in the rotation axis direction and the circumferential direction in the permanent magnet housing portion 72. And vibration can be suppressed.

<Fourth embodiment>

The inner wall surface 71a in the axial direction and the corner portion where the inner wall surface 71b in the circumferential direction intersect with each other. Further, in the laminated body 71 constituting the main permanent magnet housing portion 72, a groove 71f has a diameter at the corner of the main permanent magnet housing portion 72 where the axial inner wall surface 71a and the circumferential inner wall surface 71b of the laminated body 71 intersect. It extends in the direction. The recessed groove 71f has an opening area S1 ′ of the recessed groove 71f facing the axial end face 41a of the main permanent magnet 41 smaller than an opening area S2 ′ of the recessed groove 71f facing the circumferential end face 41b of the main permanent magnet 41, Further, the depth D1 ′ of the concave groove 71f facing the axial end surface 41a of the main permanent magnet 41 is shallower than the depth D2 ′ of the concave groove 71f facing the circumferential end surface 41b of the main permanent magnet 41.

The circumferential side elastic portion 82C is located between the circumferential end surface 41b of the main permanent magnet 41 and the groove 71f. The depths D1 ′ and D2 ′ mean the maximum depth when the depth from the axial inner wall surface 71a or the circumferential inner wall surface 71b is not constant.

  This makes it difficult for the elastic member 80C to hinder the flow of magnetic flux of the main permanent magnet 41 in the rotation axis direction, and makes it easier for the elastic member 80C to hinder the flow of magnetic flux of the main permanent magnet 41 in the circumferential direction. Movement and vibration in the rotation axis direction and circumferential direction of the main permanent magnet 41 in the permanent magnet housing portion 72 can be suppressed.

  In the case where the elastic member 80 </ b> C of the present embodiment is provided between the inner wall surface of the laminate 71 constituting the sub permanent magnet housing portion 74 and the sub permanent magnet 43 accommodated in the sub permanent magnet housing portion 74, the circumferential direction On the side, the opening area of the groove 71f is set smaller than the axial side, and the depth is set shallower.

In addition, the connection part 83 does not necessarily need to be located on the outer diameter side, and may be attached from the inner diameter side so that the connection part 83 is located on the inner diameter side. Thereby, since one elastic member 80D should just be arrange | positioned instead of arrange | positioning two elastic members 80C, the number of processes at the time of comprising the rotor 11 can be reduced.
