Description

  The present invention relates to an axial gap type motor, and more particularly to a technology for supplying the field magnetic flux.

  As a field magnetic flux supply source in a motor, a technique using a permanent magnet and a field winding in combination is known. A field magnetic flux whose strength is variable depending on the current flowing through the field winding (hereinafter referred to as “sub-field magnetic flux”) is supplied by a permanent magnet (unless the demagnetization effect is taken into consideration). Acts as a so-called field weakening or field strengthening with respect to a fixed field magnetic flux (hereinafter referred to as “main field magnetic flux”).

  By adopting the subfield magnetic flux together with the main field magnetic flux, it is possible to operate efficiently in a wider operating range (for example, a range of torque and rotational speed) compared to the case where the subfield magnetic flux is not employed.

First embodiment.
FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing a configuration of an axial gap type motor according to a first embodiment. In order to facilitate understanding of the structure, the motor is shown exploded along the rotation axis P. However, a person having ordinary technical knowledge in the field of motors can recognize the structure of the axial gap type motor from FIG.

  The axial gap type motor includes armatures 1 and 2 that are stators, a field element 3 that is a rotor, field windings 41 and 42, and a short-circuiting ring 36. The field element 3 is rotated around the rotation axis P by the rotating magnetic field supplied by the armatures 1 and 2, the main field magnetic flux, and the subfield magnetic flux.

  The armature 1 is from one side (upper side in FIG. 1) of the rotating shaft P to the field element 3, and the armature 2 is from the other side (lower side in FIG. 1) to the field element 3, so-called air. Opposing with a gap called a gap.

  The field element 3 includes a holding body 30, a magnet magnetic pole portion 31 having a permanent magnet, and a soft magnetic body 32. The magnet magnetic pole portion 31 supplies a main field magnetic flux whose size is constant if demagnetization is not considered.

  The magnet magnetic pole portions 31 and the soft magnetic bodies 32 are alternately arranged in the circumferential direction with respect to the rotation axis P. In this embodiment, a case where ten magnet magnetic pole portions 31 and ten soft magnetic bodies 32 are provided is illustrated.

  The holding body 30 is, for example, soft magnetic and has an outer ring 33, an inner ring 34, and a partition wall 35. The partition wall 35 is located between the magnetic pole portion 31 and the soft magnetic body 32 and holds them in the circumferential direction. The outer ring 33 holds the magnet magnetic pole portion 31 and the soft magnetic body 32 from the outside in the radial direction of the rotation axis P, and the inner ring 34 holds from the inside in the radial direction of the rotation axis P, respectively.

  FIG. 2 is a perspective view showing a part of the configuration of the field element 3. Here, in order to make the said structure easy to visually recognize, the part extended at 180 degrees in the circumferential direction was removed and shown. In FIG. 2, the cross section of the magnetic pole part 31 appears.

  FIG. 3 is a cross-sectional view illustrating the configuration of the axial gap motor. The cross section includes the rotation axis P, is a plane parallel to the rotation axis P, and is in a position where the magnet magnetic pole portion 31 appears.

  On one side of the rotation axis P, all of the magnetic pole portions 31 exhibit the same magnetic pole surface with the same first polarity (N pole in FIG. 2). Also, on the other side of the rotation axis P, all of the magnetic pole portions 31 exhibit the same magnetic pole surface having the first polarity. Moreover, the magnet magnetic pole part 31 exhibits the magnetic pole surface of the 2nd polarity (for example, S pole) different from a 1st polarity toward radial direction outer side. For example, each of the magnetic pole portions 31 includes permanent magnets 311 and 312 and a soft magnetic body 313. Each of the permanent magnets 311 and 312 and the soft magnetic body 313 has a flat plate shape and is arranged so as to overlap each other in the axial direction. The soft magnetic body 313 is located between the permanent magnets 311 and 312 in the axial direction. Each of the permanent magnets 311 and 312 is magnetized in the axial direction, and is disposed toward the soft magnetic body 313 with the magnetic pole surfaces of the same second polarity (for example, S pole) facing each other.

  A rotating shaft is inserted into the inner ring 34 and fixed. In FIGS. 1, 2, and 3, the rotating shaft is omitted. The rotating shaft rotates with the rotation of the field element 3.

  The armature 1 includes a tooth 11, a back yoke 12, and an armature winding 13. A plurality of teeth 11 are provided in a ring shape. An armature winding 13 is wound around the teeth 11. The back yoke 12 magnetically shorts the teeth 11 on the side opposite to the field element 3.

  For example, the teeth 11 have a bottom portion penetrating the back yoke 12, and the bottom portion appears in FIG.

  The back yoke 12 has a hole 10 at a position facing the inner ring 34 on the rotation axis P. A rotating shaft (not shown) is rotatably inserted in the hole 10. An alternating current flows through the armature winding 13 and supplies a rotating magnetic field to the field element 3.

  The armature 2 includes a tooth 21, a back yoke 22, and an armature winding 23. A plurality of teeth 21 are provided in a ring shape. An armature winding 23 is wound around the tooth 21. The back yoke 22 magnetically shorts the teeth 21 on the side opposite to the field element 3. The back yoke 22 has a hole 20 at a position facing the inner ring 34 on the rotation axis P. A rotating shaft (not shown) is rotatably inserted in the hole 20. An alternating current flows through the armature winding 23 to supply a rotating magnetic field to the field element 3.

  In the present embodiment, a case where 24 teeth are both provided is illustrated.

  The armature 1 further includes a short-circuiting ring 14 on its outer edge, and the armature 2 further includes a short-circuiting ring 24 on its outer edge. The short-circuiting ring 36 faces the field element 3 via a gap in the radial direction. In other words, the short-circuiting ring 36 is arranged on the outer peripheral side of the field element 3. Although the short-circuiting rings 14, 24, and 36 are shown separated along the rotation axis P in FIG. 1, they are brought into contact with each other and short-circuited in an actual axial gap type motor.

  However, each of the short-circuiting rings 14 and 24 is for magnetically short-circuiting the short-circuiting ring 36 and each of the back yokes 12 and 22. Therefore, the contact between each of the short-circuiting rings 14 and 24 and the short-circuiting ring 36 is not necessarily assumed.

  The radially inner end face of the short-circuiting ring 36 is closer to the rotation axis P than the radially inner end face of each of the short-circuiting rings 14, 24. In other words, the short-circuiting ring 36 can be understood as a projecting portion that projects to the field element 3 more than the short-circuiting rings 14 and 24. The thickness of the short-circuiting ring 36 in the axial direction is, for example, approximately the same as the thickness of the field element 3 in the axial direction.

  Further, when the case of the axial gap type motor holds the back yokes 12 and 22 from the outside in the radial direction, each of the back yokes 12 and 22 and the short-circuiting ring 36 may be magnetically short-circuited by the case. . In this case, the short-circuiting rings 14 and 24 can be omitted. Further, the short-circuiting ring 36 may be configured as a part of the case.

  In the present embodiment, the field winding 41 is arranged around the rotation axis P between the back yoke 12 and the field element 3. More specifically, it is provided on the outer side in the radial direction than the group of armature windings 13 arranged in the circumferential direction, and is arranged closer to the rotation axis P than the short-circuiting ring 14. The field winding 42 is disposed around the rotation axis P between the back yoke 22 and the field element 3. More specifically, it is provided radially outside the group of armature windings 23 arranged in the circumferential direction, and is arranged closer to the rotation axis P than the short-circuiting ring 24. In other words, the short-circuiting rings 14 and 24 are located outside the field windings 41 and 42 in the radial direction.

  A current flows through the field windings 41 and 42 to generate a magnetic field along the rotation axis P. Since the subfield magnetic flux is obtained by the magnetic field, the expression that the subfield magnetic flux is generated by the field windings 41 and 42 is simply adopted below.

  However, the subfield magnetic fluxes generated by the field windings 41 and 42 are opposite to each other in the direction along the rotation axis P.

  In addition, the armature windings 13 and 23 and the field windings 41 and 42 do not indicate each one of the conductive wires constituting the armature windings 13 and 23 but indicate an aspect in which the conductive wires are wound together. The same applies to the drawings. In addition, the drawing lines at the start and end of winding and their connection are also omitted in the drawings.

  FIG. 4 is a developed view of the circumferential cross section of the field element 3 at the radial position where the partition walls 35 exist, and the armature windings 13 and 23 are omitted.

  3 and 4 schematically show the flow of the main field magnetic flux φm and the flow of the subfield magnetic flux φa.

  Part of the main field magnetic flux φm flows between the magnet magnetic pole portion 31 and the soft magnetic body 32 via the teeth 11 and 21 and the back yokes 12 and 22. As a result, the soft magnetic body 32 is magnetized by the main field magnetic flux φm.

  On the other hand, most of the subfield magnetic flux φa flows through the soft magnetic body 32 via the teeth 11 and 21, the back yokes 12 and 22, and the short-circuiting rings 14, 24 and 36. As a result, the soft magnetic body 32 is also magnetized by most of the subfield magnetic flux φa.

  That is, the soft magnetic body 32 is magnetized by a part of the main field magnetic flux φm and most of the subfield magnetic flux φa, and functions as an induced magnetic pole (hereinafter referred to as “soft magnetic pole”). Therefore, the strength of the soft magnetic pole increases or decreases by changing the magnitude and direction of the subfield magnetic flux φa. Since the sub-field magnetic flux φa is controlled by the current flowing through the field windings 41 and 42, the field element 3 can be weakened or strengthened by the current.

  In the embodiment shown in FIG. 4, the direction of the main field magnetic flux φm flowing through the teeth 11 and the soft magnetic body 32 is opposite to the direction of the subfield magnetic flux φa flowing through the teeth 11 and the soft magnetic body 32. The direction of the main field magnetic flux φm flowing through the teeth 21 and the soft magnetic body 32 is opposite to the direction of the sub-field magnetic flux φa flowing through the teeth 21 and the soft magnetic body 32. Therefore, the subfield magnetic flux φa in FIG. 4 corresponds to the case where the field weakening is applied.

  As described above, the subfield magnetic flux φa flows between the field element 3 and the short-circuiting ring 36. Further, a part of the main field magnetic flux φm flows through the above-described path, but the other part flows through the same path as the sub-field magnetic flux φa. Therefore, both the main field magnetic flux φm and the subfield magnetic flux φa flow between the field element 3 and the short-circuiting ring 36.

  FIG. 5 is a cross-sectional view along the radial direction, showing the field element 3 and the short-circuiting ring 36 in a state where the field element 3 is moved in the axial direction with respect to the short-circuiting ring 36. Further, the flow of magnetic flux is schematically shown by a broken line. In the illustration of FIG. 5, the field element 3 is positioned on one side (upper side in FIG. 5) in the axial direction with respect to the short-circuiting ring 36. More specifically, the surface 3a on one side of the field element 3 is positioned on one side in the axial direction from the surface 36a on one side of the short-circuiting ring 36, and the surface 3b on the other side of the field element 3 is for short-circuiting. It is located on one side in the axial direction from the surface 36 b on the other side of the ring 36. In this case, the magnetic flux flows obliquely between the field element 3 and the short-circuiting ring 36.

  In general, a force acts on two magnetic bodies through which a magnetic flux flows so as to minimize the path of the magnetic flux, that is, approach each other. Therefore, in the case of FIG. 5, the force acts so that the field element 3 approaches the short-circuiting ring 36. Therefore, a force acts on the field element 3 on the other side in the axial direction (see a block arrow in FIG. 5). Thereby, the movement (or vibration, the same applies hereinafter) of the field element 3 in the axial direction can be suppressed.

  Even if the sub-field magnetic flux φa does not flow, the main field magnetic flux φm flows between the field element 3 and the short-circuiting ring 36. Therefore, the main field magnetic flux φm causes the field element 3 to move in the axial direction. Can be suppressed. Therefore, even when neither weak field nor strong field is performed (that is, even when no current is passed through the field windings 41 and 42), the movement of the field element 3 in the axial direction is suppressed. Is done.

  Although the holding body 30 may be non-magnetic, when the outer ring 33 is located on the outer peripheral side of the magnet magnetic pole portion 31 and the soft magnetic body 32, at least the outer ring 33 is formed of a soft magnetic material. It is desirable. This is because the force that brings the field element 3 closer to the short-circuiting ring 36 increases as the magnetic resistance between them decreases.

  Moreover, only the part which opposes the magnet magnetic pole part 31 among the outer rings 33 may be formed with a soft magnetic material. Thereby, the main field magnetic flux φm between the magnet magnetic pole portion 31 and the short-circuiting ring 36 can be increased, and the force for bringing the field element 3 closer to the short-circuiting ring 36 can be increased.

  The main field magnetic flux φm flows through the partition wall 35 (FIG. 4). Therefore, it is desirable that the partition wall 35 (more specifically, the portion adjacent to the soft magnetic body 313 in the circumferential direction) is also formed of a soft magnetic material. Thereby, the main field magnetic flux φm can be increased as compared with the case where the partition wall 35 is nonmagnetic. Thereby, the torque of the motor can be increased.

  The holding body 30 may be a laminated steel plate laminated in the axial direction, for example. Thereby, the eddy current generated due to the main field magnetic flux φm and the subfield magnetic flux φa can be reduced. Only the outer ring 33 or only the partition walls 35 may be formed of laminated steel plates. In view of the fact that the main field magnetic flux φm flows through the soft magnetic body 313, only a portion of the partition wall 35 adjacent to the soft magnetic body 313 in the circumferential direction may be formed of a laminated steel plate.

  The distance in the radial direction between the field element 3 and the short-circuiting ring 36 is preferably shorter than the distance in the axial direction between the field element 3 and the armatures 1 and 2 (so-called air gap). Thereby, the magnetic resistance between the field element 3 and the short-circuiting ring 36 can be reduced, and the movement of the field element 3 in the axial direction can be effectively suppressed.

  FIG. 6 is a perspective view showing another example of a part of the configuration of the field element 3. Here, in order to make the said structure easy to visually recognize, the part extended at 180 degrees in the circumferential direction was removed and shown. The field element 3 shown in FIG. 6 is different from the field element 3 shown in FIG.

  In the illustration of FIG. 6, the magnet magnetic pole portion 31 includes permanent magnets 314 to 316 and a soft magnetic body 317. The soft magnetic body 317 is located between the permanent magnets 314 and 315 in the circumferential direction. For example, the area of the soft magnetic body 317 viewed from the axial direction is smaller than the area of the soft magnetic body 32 viewed from the axial direction.

  The permanent magnets 314 and 315 have a flat plate shape, for example, and extend in the radial direction. The permanent magnet 316 is disposed on the outer peripheral side with respect to the soft magnetic body 317. The permanent magnet 316 has a flat plate shape, for example, and extends in the circumferential direction.

  The permanent magnets 314 and 315 are all arranged with the same first magnetic pole face (for example, N pole) facing the soft magnetic body 317. For example, the permanent magnets 314 and 315 are all magnetized in the circumferential direction to realize such an arrangement. The permanent magnet 316 is disposed with the first magnetic pole face facing the soft magnetic body 317. For example, the permanent magnet 316 is magnetized in the radial direction to realize such an arrangement. As a result, the soft magnetic body 317 exhibits the same first magnetic pole face on both sides in the axial direction.

  The partition wall 35 of the holding body 30 is provided between the permanent magnets 314 to 316 and the soft magnetic bodies 32 and 317, and holds these in cooperation with the outer ring 33 and the inner ring 34.

  FIG. 7 is a cross-sectional view illustrating the configuration of the axial gap motor. The cross section includes the rotation axis P, is a plane parallel to the rotation axis P, and is in a position where the soft magnetic body 317 appears. FIG. 8 is a developed view of the circumferential cross section of the field element 3 at the radial position where the soft magnetic body 317 is present, and the armature windings 13 and 23 are omitted.

  7 and 8 schematically show the flow of the main field magnetic flux φm and the flow of the subfield magnetic flux φa. Part of the main field magnetic flux φm flows between the magnet magnetic pole portion 31 and the soft magnetic body 32 via the teeth 11 and 21 and the back yokes 12 and 22. This main field magnetic flux φm is mainly generated by the permanent magnets 314 and 315. Therefore, the permanent magnets 314 and 315 contribute to the magnetization of the soft magnetic body 32. Another part of the main field magnetic flux φm flows between the field element 3 and the short-circuiting ring 36 via the teeth 11 and 21, the back yokes 12 and 22, and the short-circuiting rings 14 and 24. A part of the main field magnetic flux φm is mainly generated by the permanent magnet 316.

  The sub-field magnetic flux φa flows between the field element 3 and the short-circuit ring 36 via the teeth 11 and 21, the back yokes 12 and 22, and the short-circuit rings 14 and 24.

  As described above, since the magnetic flux flows between the field element 3 and the short-circuiting ring 36, when the field element 3 moves to one side in the axial direction with respect to the short-circuiting ring 36, the other of the axial direction A sideward force acts on the field element 3. Thereby, the movement of the field element 3 in the axial direction can be suppressed.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 7, the permanent magnet 316 magnetized in the radial direction is provided on the outer peripheral side of the soft magnetic body 317, so that the main current flowing between the field element 3 and the short-circuit ring 36 is The field magnetic flux φm can be increased. As a result, the force generated in the field element 3 due to the magnetic flux flowing through the field element 3 and the short-circuiting ring 36 increases. Therefore, the movement of the field element 3 in the axial direction can be further suppressed as compared with the field element 3 of FIG.

Second embodiment.
The axial gap type motor according to the second embodiment is different from the first embodiment in the configuration of the field element 3.

  In the second embodiment, as illustrated in FIG. 9, a nonmagnetic portion 331 is provided on the outer ring 33 of the holding body 30. In the illustration of FIG. 9, the nonmagnetic portion 331 is formed by a recess formed on the outer peripheral surface of the outer ring 33. However, the nonmagnetic portion 331 is not limited to this, and may be a resin or the like. The nonmagnetic portion 331 is provided (boundary) between the magnet magnetic pole portion 31 and the soft magnetic body 32 in the circumferential direction, and extends, for example, from end to end of the outer ring 33 in the axial direction.

  The main field magnetic flux φm flowing in the vicinity of the outer ring 33 can flow through the following two paths. The first path is a path that flows between the magnet magnetic pole portion 31 and the soft magnetic body 32 along the circumferential direction in the outer ring 33. The second path is a path (a path through which the subfield magnetic flux φa flows) between the outer ring 33 and the short-circuiting ring 36 along the radial direction of the outer ring 33.

  In the second embodiment, the non-magnetic portion 331 is provided in the outer ring 33 between the magnet magnetic pole portion 31 and the soft magnetic body 32 (boundary). The field magnetic flux φm tends to pass through the second path. Therefore, the magnetic flux flowing between the field element 3 and the short-circuiting ring 36 can be increased. As a result, the force acting on the field element 3 can be increased, and the movement of the field element 3 in the axial direction can be further suppressed.

  In any of the above embodiments, as the short-circuiting rings 14 and 24, an iron core in which an electromagnetic steel sheet is wound around the rotation axis P can be employed. Since the iron core has a small magnetic resistance in the axial direction, it is suitable for magnetic short-circuiting between the back yokes 12 and 22 and the short-circuiting ring 36.

  Although the short-circuiting ring 36 (projection) is provided over the entire circumference, it may be formed by a plurality of projections that are separated from each other in the circumferential direction. In this case, it is desirable that the protrusions be provided at equal intervals in the circumferential direction. This is because force can be applied to the field element 3 in rotational symmetry.

  The various embodiments described above can be appropriately combined as long as the functions of each other are not impaired.

Apply.
The above-described embodiments and modifications are configured in an axial gap type motor. Therefore, these can be applied to motors for automobiles such as in-wheel motors.
