Description

  The present invention relates to a structure of a rotor of a permanent magnet type motor in which permanent magnets are arranged inside the rotor, and more particularly to a rotor suitable for high efficiency.

  In a conventional rotor with permanent magnets, a plurality of sets of permanent magnets arranged at intervals of two or more layers per pole in the radial direction of the rotor are embedded in a rotor body made of a high-permeability material. The interval between the permanent magnets is set such that the interval on the end side located at least on the forward side in the rotation direction of the rotor is wider than the interval between the other portions.

  Since the interval between the permanent magnets is thus wide, the current flowing through the stator is shifted in phase so that the reluctance torque and magnet torque increase, and an alternating current having a frequency according to the rotor rotational speed is generated. (See, for example, Patent Document 1).

  In another conventional electric motor rotor, the permanent magnet is placed close to the q-axis so that the angle formed by the d-axis and the q-axis is less than 90 ° in electrical angle, and the permanent magnet and the flux barrier are paired. Thus, the pair of permanent magnets and the flux barrier are arranged in a square shape toward the center of the rotor core.

  Then, the current phase at which the magnet torque becomes maximum shifts toward the current phase at which the reluctance torque becomes maximum, and the maximum point of the magnet torque approaches the maximum point of the reluctance torque, so that the total torque is improved (for example, , See Patent Document 2).

  In another conventional permanent magnet type synchronous rotating electrical machine rotor, a permanent magnet that is a field is embedded in a rotor core in which thin disk-shaped electromagnetic steel plates are laminated, and leakage flux is generated between each pole of the rotor core. This is a structure in which a rectangular permanent magnet insertion hole is provided obliquely at a predetermined inclination angle with respect to the circumferential direction and a magnetized permanent magnet is inserted between the holes. The reluctance torque can be increased by controlling the phase of the current, and the direction of the reluctance is generated, and when the rotation direction is determined, the start-up / shift is facilitated (for example, see Patent Document 3). .)

  Although the conventional motors configured as described above have the effect of bringing the phase difference between the peak of the magnet torque and the peak of the reluctance torque closer, they cannot be said to be a sufficient structure in terms of both cost and performance efficiency. . For example, a conventional rotor with a permanent magnet has a high efficiency but a high cost because permanent magnets are arranged in the entire region of the magnet insertion hole. In addition, in other conventional motor rotors, it is necessary to configure a larger cross-sectional area of the flux barrier, so it is inevitable to make the permanent magnet small, resulting in a decrease in magnet torque and sufficient performance efficiency. There wasn't. In addition, another conventional permanent magnet type synchronous rotating electric machine rotor is similarly unsuitable for high torque and high efficiency due to insufficient permanent magnet amount.

  Of the magnetic steel sheets, windings, and permanent magnets that are the main materials of permanent magnet motors, permanent magnets are the most expensive, and the cost of permanent magnets in a permanent magnet motor is generally 30-50%. It accounts for a large proportion. Therefore, in order to obtain a magnet type motor that achieves both low cost and high efficiency, a structure that generates high torque while reducing the amount of permanent magnets used as much as possible is required.

  The present invention has been made to solve the above-described problems, and an object of the present invention is to obtain a highly efficient permanent magnet type motor while minimizing the cost of the permanent magnet that occupies most of the cost of the motor.

A permanent magnet type motor according to the present invention comprises a laminated iron core, a circumferentially arranged slot, teeth formed between adjacent slots, and a stator comprising a coil accommodated in the slot, In a permanent magnet type motor comprising a rotor, which is opposed to an inner peripheral portion of the teeth via a gap and in which a permanent magnet in which N poles and S poles are alternately magnetized is arranged, in the rotor core of the rotor Smoothly along the outer periphery of the rotor core with the same radial width as the permanent magnet from the both ends of the magnet insertion hole provided and the permanent magnet inserted into the magnet insertion hole in the circumferential direction of the rotor core end. The outer peripheral bridge portion provided between the space portion in the magnet insertion hole and the outer periphery of the rotor core so as to increase smoothly toward the magnetic pole center of the rotor. It is configured to .

Embodiment 1 FIG.
1 is a cross-sectional view of a permanent magnet type motor according to Embodiment 1 of the present invention. In the figure, 1 is a cylindrical stator core provided with nine slots 2 extending in the axial direction on the inner circumferential surface arranged in the circumferential direction, and is a thin electromagnetic core having a thickness of about 0.35 to 0.5 mm. It is configured by punching steel sheets one by one and stacking a predetermined number of sheets. A tooth portion 3 is formed between adjacent slots 2. The teeth portion 3 has a substantially parallel shape from the outer diameter side to the inner diameter side, and has an umbrella-like structure in which both sides expand in the circumferential direction as it becomes the tip portion on the inner diameter side.

  In addition, by providing a slot opening of about 0.5 to 4 mm between the tips of adjacent teeth 3, the magnetic flux generated from the stator 5 and the rotor is short-circuited between adjacent teeth 3. This prevents a decrease in output. Reference numeral 4 denotes a concentrated winding coil in which a copper wire is directly wound around the tooth portion 3, and a three-phase Y connection or a three-phase Δ connection is applied. Reference numeral 5 denotes a stator having a stator core 1 and a coil 4.

  Between the stator 5 and the rotor 9 which is arranged on the axis of the stator 5 and is fixed to the rotor shaft 6 which is rotatable with respect to the stator 5, is about 0.3 mm to 1 mm. An air gap 10 is provided and is configured to be rotatable about the rotor shaft 6. The rotor core 7 is configured by punching and stacking magnetic steel sheets one by one in the same manner as the stator, and is held by the rivets 11 and the like so that the magnetic steel sheets do not fall apart.

  A magnet insertion hole 15 is disposed inside the rotor core 7. Two magnet insertion holes 15 are provided in parallel in the same pole and formed in a two-layer structure. The magnet insertion holes 15a are provided on the outer peripheral side of the rotor core 7 and provided on the inner peripheral portion of the magnet insertion hole 15a. It is comprised by the magnet insertion hole 15b from which length differs. In FIG. 1, the magnet insertion hole 15b provided in the inner peripheral part is provided as a longer insertion hole than the magnet insertion hole 15a provided in the outer peripheral side. Each magnet insertion hole 15a, 15b has a structure in which sintered rare earth permanent magnets 8a, 8b mainly composed of flat neodymium, iron, and boron are embedded.

  Of the magnet insertion holes 15 formed in a two-layer structure in the radial direction around the rotor shaft 6, the circumferential length of the permanent magnet 8 a embedded in the magnet insertion hole 15 a provided on the outer peripheral side of the rotor core 7. Is made smaller than 2/3 of the circumferential length of the magnet insertion hole 15a, and the permanent magnet 8a is biased toward the rotor rotation direction side of the magnet insertion hole 15a. An inter-electrode bridge portion 12 is provided between the magnet insertion holes 15 adjacent in the circumferential direction of the rotor, and the outer peripheral bridge portion 13 provided between both end portions of the magnet insertion hole 15a and the outer periphery of the rotor core. To form a one-piece structure.

  As described above, the circumferential length of the permanent magnet 8a embedded in the outer peripheral side of the rotor core 7 is made smaller than the provided magnet insertion hole 15a, and the permanent magnet is biased toward the rotational direction of the rotor. 2, the phase of the peak of the magnet torque (shown by the dotted line in the figure) and the peak of the reluctance torque (shown by the one-dot chain line in the figure) are brought close to about 35 degrees in electrical angle, as shown in FIG. Therefore, the combined torque (indicated by a solid line in the figure), which is the sum of the magnet torque and the reluctance torque, can be improved, and a permanent magnet motor with high efficiency and reduced cost can be realized.

  Although the case where the stator windings are concentrated windings has been described as an example, the same effect can be obtained even if the stator windings are distributed windings. Although the sintered rare earth magnet is described as an example of the material of the permanent magnet 8, the same effect can be obtained with any other permanent magnet. In addition, with regard to the orientation direction of the permanent magnet, an effect can be obtained in any orientation direction. In particular, the effect of shifting the phase of the peak of the magnet torque to the phase side by tilting the orientation direction to the rotation direction side. There is an effect that further increases the efficiency.

  In addition, the magnet insertion holes formed in the two-layer structure described above and the permanent magnet 8a on the outer peripheral side are arranged so as to be biased toward the rotation direction, and the shapes of the magnet insertion holes 15a and 15b provided inside the rotor core are shown in FIG. As shown in FIG. 4, an asymmetrical structure in which only the end portion on the counter-rotation direction side of the magnet insertion hole 15b provided in the inner peripheral portion is bent toward the outer peripheral side of the rotor core, or on the outer peripheral side as shown in FIG. An asymmetrical structure in which the interval between the magnet insertion hole 15a provided and the magnet insertion hole 15b provided in the inner peripheral portion is widened in the rotation direction side, and further, the shape of the magnet insertion hole 15 as shown in FIG. In the shape of an asymmetrical convex shape, that is, the center of the magnetic pole is shifted in the rotational direction from the center of the dimension of the pole (1/2 * A line in FIG. 5). The phase of the reluctance torque peak is shifted to the delayed phase side. That effect there is, the phase difference between the peak of the magnet torque and the reluctance torque can be brought close to around 25 degrees, it is possible to obtain a more efficient permanent magnet motor.

  Furthermore, as shown in FIG. 6, the permanent magnet 8a embedded in the magnet insertion hole 15a provided on the outer peripheral side of the rotor core 7 is a first permanent magnet 8a1 on the rotation direction side and a second permanent magnet on the counter rotation direction side. 8a2 is divided and arranged so that the residual magnetic flux density of the second permanent magnet 8a2 arranged on the counter-rotation direction side is smaller than the residual magnetic flux density of the first permanent magnet 8a1 arranged on the rotation direction side. The magnet torque can be improved, the motor can be increased in torque and efficiency, and the cost can be increased by using the relatively inexpensive second permanent magnet 8a2 having a small residual magnetic flux density on the counter-rotating direction side. Can be suppressed.

The outer peripheral bridge portion 13 provided between the curved space portion 14 at both ends of the rotor and the outer periphery of the rotor core is configured so that the dimension thereof increases smoothly as it goes toward the magnetic pole center of the rotor. In FIG. 8 showing an enlarged view of the main part of this example, the dimension of the outer bridge 13 facing the outermost end of the magnet insertion hole is W1, and the dimension of the outer bridge 13 facing the end of the curved space is W2.

Specifically, when the dimension of the outer peripheral bridge portion 13 facing the outermost end portion of the magnet insertion hole is W1, and the dimension of the outer peripheral bridge portion 13 facing the end portion of the curved portion is W2, the dimension of W2 is set to W1. It is comprised so that it may become 1.5 times or more.

  By configuring the rotor of the permanent magnet type motor as described above, the change in magnetic flux can be smoothed, the iron loss can be suppressed, and the combined torque can be reduced by bringing the phase of the magnet torque and the reluctance torque closer. It is improved and a highly efficient permanent magnet type motor can be realized.
