Abstract
Description
- 1. Field of the Invention
- The present invention generally relates to a permanent magnet rotating electric machine.
- 2. Description of the Related Art
- The first reference, i.e. Japanese Unexamined Patent Application Publication No. 10-126981 describes conventional techniques of straight-shaping each of teeth of a stator of a permanent magnet rotating electric machine so as to reduce cogging torque of the permanent magnet rotating electric machine. Further, The second reference, i.e. Japanese Unexamined Patent Application Publication No. 11-089197 describes techniques of enhancing a demagnetization resistance by forming teeth of a stator and permanent magnets of a rotor into predetermined shapes.
- Generally, in a permanent magnet rotating electric machine, pulsation of magnetic flux occurs because of the fact that a magnetic flux density does not change in a sinusoidal manner owing to the structure of the rotating electric machine. Thus, according to the techniques described in the first reference, cogging torque is reduced by straight-shaping the teeth of the stator. However, in the case of using such a rotating electric machine as a generator, a distortion factor of the waveform of an induced voltage rather than cogging torque turns into a problem. Incidentally, the distortion factor R (%) of the waveform of an induced voltage is defined by the following equation (1) obtained by Fourier series expansion of the waveform of the induced voltage: N
- where f(N) is an effective value of Nth degree frequency component.
- However, the first reference does not refer to the distortion factor of the waveform of an induced voltage.
- Further, the invention disclosed in the second reference is directed to the improvement of a unique magnetic path for enhancing demagnetization resistance. However, the second reference does not refer to the distortion factor of the waveform of an induced voltage.
- Accordingly, in view of the aforementioned problems, an object of the present invention is to provide a permanent magnet rotating electric machine wherein the distortion factor of the waveform of an induced voltage is reduced.
- To achieve the foregoing object, according to an aspect of the present invention, there is provided a permanent magnet rotating electric machine comprising a stator having concentrated windings wound around teeth formed in a stator core, and a rotor having rare earth permanent magnets inserted into a plurality of permanent magnet holes formed in a rotor core. In this rotating electric machine, the permanent magnets are each shaped like an arc facing toward the stator. Moreover, a flat surface facing toward the rotor is provided at a tip end portion of each of teeth of the stator.
- Incidentally, the width Wm (deg.) of the permanent magnet is given by
- Wm=C1·Pr
- where C1 is a magnet width coefficient and Pr (deg.) is a rotor pole pitch. In this case, preferably, the magnet width coefficient is set so that 0.75≦C1≦0.85. Incidentally, the width Wm of the permanent magnet is defined herein as an angle between two straight lines passing through the center of a rotating shaft and respective ends of the magnet. Further, the width Wt (deg.) of a tip end portion of each of the teeth of the stator is expressed by
- Wt=C2·Ps
- where C2 is a stator width coefficient and Ps (deg.) is a stator slot pitch. In this case, preferably, the stator width pitch is set so that 0.75≦C2 ≦0.85. Incidentally, the width Wt of the tip end portion of each of the teeth of the stator is defined herein as an angle between two straight lines passing through the center of a rotating shaft and respective ends of the tip end portion of each of the teeth of the stator.
- Other features, objects and advantages of the present invention will become apparent from the following description of preferred embodiments with reference to the drawings in which like reference characters designate like or corresponding parts throughout several views, and in which:
- FIG. 1 is a cross sectional view showing a main section of a three-phase eight-pole twelve-slot permanent magnet rotating electric machine that is a first embodiment of the present invention;

- FIG. 3 is a graph illustrating effects of the first embodiment of the present invention;
- FIG. 4 is a graph illustrating effects of changing the width of each of magnets and that of a tip end portion of each of teeth of a stator of the first embodiment of the present invention;
- FIG. 5 is a cross sectional view showing a main section of a permanent magnet rotating electric machine that is a second embodiment of the present invention; and

- FIG. 8 is an enlarged view of the rotating electric machine shown in FIG. 7.
- FIG. 9 is a graph illustrating effects of changing the radius of arc at a tip end portion of teeth of a stator core of the third embodiment of the present invention.
- Hereinafter, the preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail by referring to the accompanying drawings.
- FIG. 1 shows a cross sectional view of a three-phase eight-pole twelve-slot permanent magnet rotating electric machine that is a first embodiment of the present invention.
- As shown in FIG. 1, a
stator 10 is constructed by concentrated wound U-phase stator windings U, V-phase stator windings V and W-phase stator windings W each provided aroundcorresponding teeth 12 of thestator 10. That is, U-phase stator windings U, V-phase stator windings V and W-phase stator windings W are located in twelveslots 14 formed in anannular stator core 11. Arotor 20 of the rotating electric machine is constructed by fixing arotor core 21 to arotor shaft 23 and inserting and incorporating arcuatepermanent magnets 22 into permanentmagnet inserting holes 29, which are formed by punching therotor core 21 from a longitudinal direction of theshaft 23. Eachpermanent magnet 22 is arc-shaped convex toward thestator 20 and arranged in such a manner that N-poles and S-poles are alternately arranged. Therotor 20 is rotatably placed in thestator 10 such that agap 15 is provided between thetip end portion 13 of each of the teeth and arotor 20. - FIG. 2 shows an enlarged view of the
teeth 12 and therotor 20 of the rotating electric machine according to the first embodiment. A flat surface facing toward therotor 20 is formed at thetip end portion 13 of each of theteeth 12. That is, thetip end portion 13 of each of theteeth 12 is straight-shaped. This flat surface is orthogonal to thecentral axis 27 of each of theteeth 12. Thecentral axes 27 each pass through the center X of the rotatingshaft 23 and are radially arranged. - FIG. 3 shows a graph illustrating the
waveform 31 of an induced voltage of the first embodiment of the present invention wherein the flat surface is provided at thetip end portion 13 of each of theteeth 12 of thestator 10, and also illustrating thewaveform 32 of an induced voltage in the case of a first comparative example wherein the flat surface is not provided at the tip end portion of each of the teeth of the stator. That is, the tip end portion of the teeth is not straight-shaped. - According to such results shown in this graph, the distortion factors R of such waveforms of induced voltages were calculated. The distortion factor of the
waveform 31 was 3.85%, while the distortion factor of thewaveform 32 was 14.53%. Thus, the distortion factor is reduced to about (¼) that of the first comparative example by providing a flat surface at thetip end portion 13 of each of the teeth of the stator. This is owing to the facts that the width of thegap 15 is made to be uneven over the circumference of the rotor and vary in the circumferential direction by providing the flat surface facing toward the rotor 7, on thetip end portion 13 of each of the teeth of the stator, and that thus the magnetic flux density in thegap 15 changes in a sinusoidal manner, and that the waveform of the induced voltage becomes sinusoidal. Consequently, the distortion factor of the waveform of the induced voltage is reduced. - Further, as shown in FIG. 2, the width Wm (deg.) of the
permanent magnet 22 is given by - Wm=C1·Pr
- where C1 is a magnet width coefficient and Pr (deg.) is a rotor pole pitch. Moreover, the magnet width coefficient is set so that 0.75≦C1≦0.85. Incidentally, the rotor pole pitch Pr(deg.) is obtained by dividing 360 (deg.) by the number of rotor poles. In the case of this embodiment, the number of the poles is 8, so that Pr=45 (deg.).
- Further, the width Wt (deg.) of a tip end portion of each of the teeth of the stator is expressed by
- Wt=C2·Ps
- where C2 is a stator width coefficient and Ps (deg.) is a stator slot pitch. In this case, the stator width pitch C2 is set so that 0.75≦C2≦0.85. Incidentally, the stator slot pitch Ps(deg.) is obtained by dividing 360 (deg.) by the number of stator slots. In the case of the first embodiment, the number of the slots is 12, so that Ps=30 (deg.).
- Hereinafter, the reasons for setting the magnet width coefficient C1 and the stator width coefficient C2 in such a manner are described with reference to FIG. 4.
- FIG. 4 shows a graph illustrating changes in the distortion factor R of the waveform of the induced voltage in the cases of changing the magnet width coefficient C1 and the stator width coefficient C2. As shown in FIG. 4, a
curve 41 indicates the change in the distortion factor in the case of changing the magnet width coefficient C1, while acurve 42 indicates the change in the distortion factor in the case of changing the stator width coefficient C2. Thecurve 41 indicates that the distortion factor takes a minimum value 2.12% when the magnet width coefficient C1 is 0.85. Thus, the value of the distortion factor R is reduced to about ({fraction (1/7)}) the value of 14.53 of the distortion factor of thewaveform 32. Thecurve 42 indicates that the distortion factor takes a minimum value 2.0% when the stator width coefficient C1 is 0.75 to 0.85. Thus, the value of the distortion factor R is reduced to about ({fraction (1/7)}) the value of 14.53 of the distortion factor of thewaveform 32. The values of these coefficients are set in such a way as to be simultaneously in such two ranges. Thus, the magnet width coefficient C1 is set so that 0.75≦C1≦0.85. Moreover, the stator width coefficient C2 is set so that 0.75≦C2≦0.85. Consequently, the distortion factor of the waveform of an induced voltage is considerably reduced. - FIG. 5 shows a cross sectional view of a second embodiment of the present invention applied to a three-phase eight-pole twelve-slot permanent magnet rotating electric machine employing straight-shaped or rectangular permanent magnets. In FIG. 5, like reference numerals designate like constituent elements shown in FIG. 1. Thus, the description of such constituent elements is omitted herein.
- The second embodiment differs from the first embodiment in that eight straight-shaped or rectangular-shaped
permanent magnets 52 are inserted and incorporated into permanentmagnet inserting holes 51, which are formed by punching therotor core 21 from an axial direction. Eachpermanent magnet 52 are arranged so that N-poles and S-poles are alternately arranged. - FIG. 6 shows a graph illustrating the
waveform 61 of an induced voltage in the second embodiment and thewaveform 62 of an induced voltage in a second comparative example wherein a flat surface is not provided at the tip end portion of each of the teeth of the stator. - According to such results shown in this graph, the distortion factors R of such waveforms of induced voltages were calculated. The distortion factor of the
waveform 61 was 9.08%, while the distortion factor of thewaveform 62 was 16.92%. Thus, the distortion factor is reduced to about (½) that of the second comparative example by providing a flat surface at thetip end portion 13 of each of the teeth of the stator. This is owing to the facts that the width of thegap 15 is made to be uneven over the circumference of the rotor and vary in the circumferential direction by providing the flat surface facing toward the rotor 7, on thetip end portion 13 of each of theteeth 12 of thestator 10, and that thus the magnetic flux density in thegap 15 changes in a sinusoidal manner, and that the waveform of the induced voltage becomes sinusoidal. Consequently, the distortion factor of the waveform of the induced voltage is reduced. - FIG. 7 shows a cross sectional view of a third embodiment of the present invention applied to a three-phase eight-pole twelve-slot permanent magnet rotating electric machine employing straight-shaped or rectangular permanent magnets. In FIG. 7, like reference numerals designate like constituent elements shown in FIG. 1. Thus, the description of such constituent elements is omitted herein.
- The third embodiment differs from the first embodiment in that a
stator 70 is constructed by concentrated wound U-phase stator windings U, V-phase stator windings V and W-phase stator windings W each provided around correspondingteeth 72 of thestator 70. That is, U-phase stator windings U, V-phase stator windings V and W-phase stator windings W are located in twelveslots 74 formed in anannular stator core 71. Arotor 20 is rotatably placed in thestator 70 such that agap 75 is provided between thetip end portion 73 of the teeth and therotor 20. - FIG. 8 shows an enlarged view of the
teeth 72 and therotor 20 of the rotating electric machine according to the third embodiment. A convex surface facing toward therotor 20 is formed at the tip end portion of each of theteeth 72. That is, as shown in FIG. 8, thetip end portion 73 of each of theteeth 72 is arc-shaped from the cross sectional view. This arc is tangent to astraight line 88 orthogonal to thecentral axis 87 of each ofteeth 12. - Further, the interval Tt between a first straight line crossing both ends of the arc and a second
straight line 88 which is parallel to the first line and tangent to the arc is expressed by - Tt=Cc·Wt
- where Cc is a teeth tip end portion arc coefficient and Wt is a width of tip end portion of the teeth. In this case, the teeth tip end portion arc coefficient Cc is set so that 0≦Cc≦0.1. Hereinafter, the reason for setting the teeth tip end portion arc coefficient Cc in such a manner is described with reference to FIG. 9.
- FIG. 9 shows a graph illustrating changes in the distortion factor R of the waveform of the induced voltage in the case of changing the teeth tip end portion arc coefficient Cc. As shown in FIG. 9, a
curve 91 indicates the change in the distortion factor in the case of changing the teeth tip end portion arc coefficient Cc. Thecurve 91 indicates that the distortion factor takes a minimum value 2.5% when the teeth tip end portion arc coefficient Cc is 0.03. Thus, the value of the distortion factor R is reduced to about ({fraction (1/7)}) the value of 14.53 of the distortion factor of thewaveform 32. Further, the distortion factor R is equivalent to the distortion factor of the first embodiment when the teeth tip end portion arc coefficient Cc is 0.1. The teeth tip end portion arc coefficient is therefore set so that 0≦Cc≦0.1. Consequently, the distortion factor of the waveform of an induced voltage is considerably reduced. - As described above, according to the present invention, an improved permanent magnet rotating electric machine wherein the distortion factor of the waveform of an induced voltage is considerably reduced is provided by providing a flat or convex surface facing toward the rotor at a tip end portion of each of the teeth of the stator.
- Although the preferred embodiments of the present invention have been described above, it should be understood that the present invention is not limited thereto and that other modifications will be apparent to those skilled in the art without departing from the sprint of the invention.
- The scope of the present invention, therefore, should be determined solely by the appended claims.
