Title: Direct starting synchronous reluctance motor rotor and motor

Description:
TECHNICAL FIELD 
     The present disclosure relates to a technical field of motor devices, and particularly to a direct starting synchronous reluctance motor rotor and a motor. The present disclosure claims priority of a patent application filed to the China National Intellectual Property Administration on Jun. 19, 2019, with an application number of 201910533174.7 and an invention title of ‘Direct Starting Synchronous Reluctance Motor Rotor and Motor’. 
     BACKGROUND 
     A direct starting synchronous reluctance motor combines structural characteristics of an induction motor and a synchronous reluctance motor, thereby realizing a start by generating a torque through a squirrel cage induction, carrying out a constant-speed running by generating a reluctance torque through a rotor inductance gap, and achieving a start and running by directly introducing power. Compared with a direct starting permanent magnet motor, the direct starting synchronous reluctance motor has no rare earth permanent magnet material or demagnetization, with a low cost and a good reliability. Compared with an asynchronous motor, the direct starting synchronous reluctance motor has a high efficiency and a constant speed. When the direct starting synchronous reluctance motor is started, the working principle is similar to that of the asynchronous motor, and it is started by an asynchronous torque. When a synchronous speed is reached, the asynchronous torque is 0. At this time, the working principle is the same as that of the reluctance motor, and the running is carried out synchronously through the reluctance torque. 
     The traditional synchronous reluctance motor needs a driver for a start and running control, so the cost is high and the control is difficult. In addition, the driver causes a certain loss, and decreases the efficiency of the whole motor system. In the related art, a patent with a patent publication number CN106537740A provides a rotor, a reluctance machine and a method for manufacturing the rotor, wherein a filling material of a flux barrier of the rotor reaches a rotor periphery and forms a part of the rotor periphery; and machining is required after the material is filled in the flux barrier, which leads to a long manufacturing time, a low efficiency and a high manufacturing cost. Moreover, the motor has large torque ripple and much vibration noise. A patent with a patent publication number CN207320974U provides a self-starting synchronous reluctance motor with a rotor core of an asymmetric structure to reduce the torque ripple, thereby suppressing or reducing electromagnetic noise and electromagnetic vibrations caused by the torque ripple. However, a new electromagnetic force will be introduced due to the asymmetric structure, resulting in new electromagnetic noise. In the related art, it is difficult to realize a synchronous design with a high efficiency, low noise and a high starting capability at the same time, and the related art often has some defects.

     Referring to  FIGS. 1 to 3, 4   b  and  5 , an embodiment according to the present disclosure provides a direct starting synchronous reluctance motor rotor. 
     Specifically, as illustrated in  FIG. 1 , the rotor comprises a rotor core  10  provided with a plurality of slit grooves  20 . two filling groove  30  are respectively disposed on two ends of each of the slit grooves  20  to form a magnetic barrier layer, and a first end of the filling groove  30  is disposed adjacent to the slit groove  20 . A second end of the filling groove  30  is disposed to be extended outwards an outside of the rotor core  10 . A beveled edge  31  is disposed on the second end of at least one of the filling grooves  30  away from a d-axis of the rotor core  10 , so that a d-axis flux of the rotor core  10  will not suddenly change when entering a stator along a channel formed at the beveled edge  31 . 
     In this embodiment, a beveled edge  31  is disposed on the second end of the filling groove  30  away from a d-axis of the rotor core  10 , so that a d-axis flux of the rotor core  10  will not suddenly change when entering a stator along a channel formed at the beveled edge  31 . With this arrangement, the reluctance torque ripple of the motor can be reduced, thereby reducing generated vibration noise, increasing a d-axis inductance and a flux difference between the d-axis and a q-axis, generating a greater reluctance torque, increasing an output torque of the motor with the rotor, and improving a motor efficiency. In which,  FIG. 4 a    illustrates a schematic diagram of a magnetic circuit without a beveled edge in the related art. As illustrated in  FIG. 2 , beveled edges are provided on four adjacent filling grooves  30  in one pole. Of course, each of the filling grooves may be provided with a beveled edge as illustrated in  FIG. 1 , or the beveled edges may be disposed at intervals (as illustrated in  FIG. 7 ) or arbitrarily. 
     In which, an included angle θ is between a sidewall of the filling groove  30  away from the d-axis and the beveled edge  31 , wherein 125°≤θ≤165°. Preferably, the included angle satisfies: 145°≤θ≤155°. A distance from a first end to a second end of the beveled edge  31  is k, and a width of the filling groove  30  is w, wherein 0.3w≤k&lt;w. The angles θ are gradually increased in a direction away from the d-axis. By disposing the beveled edge  31 , the reluctance sudden change and the reluctance torque ripple of the motor can be reduced, while the d-axis inductance entering the stator can be increased. 
     The plurality of slit grooves  20  and filling grooves  30  may be linear sections, circular arc sections, and combinations of various shapes, as illustrated in  FIG. 9 . The second end of the filling groove  30  is extended outwards an outside of the rotor core  10 , and at least a part of the second end of the filling groove  30  is communicated with an outer periphery of the rotor to form an open groove, as illustrated in  FIG. 11 , and a width m of the open groove satisfies 0.1w≤m≤0.7w. The open groove can reduce the q-axis inductance, improve the motor reluctance torque and the motor efficiency. Each of the filling grooves  30  is disposed at an included angle with the adjacent slit groove  20 , and a magnetic conduction channel formed between adjacent two of the filling grooves  30  is disposed parallel with or at an included angle with the d-axis, wherein the included angle is small so that the magnetic conduction channel is substantially parallel with the d-axis. Lengths of the filling groove  30  are gradually increased in a direction close to the d-axis. Distances between adjacent two of the filling grooves  30  is gradually decreased in the direction away from the d-axis. The motor efficiency is effectively increased and the motor starting capability is improved. 
     Further, the width of the slit groove  20  is gradually decreased outward in the radial direction of the rotor core  10 . A ratio of a sum of a total width of all of the slit grooves  20  in the q-axis and a width of the independent filling groove  40  in the q-axis to an effective core width in the radial direction of the rotor core  10  is Q1, wherein 0.35≤Q1≤0.5. The length of the slit groove  20  is gradually decreased outward in the radial direction of the rotor core  10 , and the width of the magnetic conduction channel formed between adjacent two of the slit groove  20  is gradually decreased outward in the radial direction of the rotor core  10 . In which, the filling groove  30  is filled with a conductive and magnetic-insulation material, which forms a squirrel cage together with conductive end rings  60  at both ends of the rotor core  10 , as illustrated in  FIG. 10 . The conductive and magnetic-insulation material filled in the filling groove  30  is the same as the material of the conductive end ring, and preferably, may be aluminum or aluminum alloy. A ratio of a filling area of the conductive magnetic-insulation material to a total area of all of the filling grooves  30  and the slit grooves  20  is 0.3 to 0.7, and preferably, the ratio is 0.4 to 0.6. This arrangement can further improve the efficiency of the motor with the rotor, the squirrel cage can help the motor start, and a proper filling area can improve the motor starting capability. In which, the effective core width is a width from an inner circle to an outer circle of the rotor core. 
     A plurality of independent filling grooves  40  are further disposed at an outer edge of the rotor core  10  at any magnetic pole, a reinforcing rib  50  is formed between the adjacent independent filling grooves  40 , and a width of the reinforcing rib  50  is L, wherein 0.5σ≤L&lt;σ, and σ is an air gap width between the stator and the rotor core  10 . This arrangement can effectively reduce the torque ripple of the motor. As illustrated in  FIG. 1 , there are three independent filling grooves  40 , among which two reinforcing ribs  50  are disposed to be splayed and symmetrical with respect to the q-axis. A plurality of independent filling grooves  40  may also be communicated into a whole, as illustrated in  FIG. 8 , to increase the motor starting capability. 
     In which, as illustrated in  FIG. 2 , a plurality of independent filling grooves  40  are disposed at intervals in a peripheral direction of the rotor core  10 , and occupy a central angle α of the rotor core  10 , wherein 0.1τ≤α≤0.4τ, wherein τ is a pole pitch angle, τ=180°/p, and p is the number of pole-pairs. This arrangement can effectively improve the motor efficiency and ensure the motor starting capability. 
     Further, a first reinforcing rib is disposed between the filling groove  30  and the slit groove  20  in a same magnetic barrier layer, and a second reinforcing rib is disposed between the filling groove  30  and the outer periphery of the rotor. The width of the reinforcing rib is L4, wherein 0.8σ≤L4≤3σ. Therefore, the structural strength of the rotor is ensured, and the magnetic leakage is reduced as much as possible to improve the motor efficiency. 
     Preferably, there are at least two of the magnetic barrier layers formed by the slit grooves  20  and the filling grooves  30  at both ends thereof. Four magnetic barrier layers are illustrated in  FIGS. 1 and 2 . 
     The rotor in the above embodiment may be applied in the technical field of motor devices, that is, a motor is provided according to another aspect of the present disclosure. The motor comprises the direct starting synchronous reluctance motor rotor aforementioned. 
     Specifically, in the direct starting synchronous reluctance motor rotor of the present disclosure, the beveled edges are disposed on the ends of the filling groove to reduce the reluctance sudden change and the reluctance torque ripple of the motor, thereby reducing the generated vibration noise. By disposing the beveled edges, the d-axis inductance entering the stator can be increased, thereby increasing the output torque of the motor. 
     By optimizing the design of the beveled edges at the ends of the filling groove, the reluctance torque ripple of the motor can be reduced, thereby reducing generated vibration noise, increasing a d-axis inductance and a flux difference between the d-axis and a q-axis, generating a greater reluctance torque, increasing an output torque of the motor, and improving a motor efficiency. In which, an angle θ between an edge of the beveled edge and an edge of the corresponding filling groove satisfies 125°≤θ≤165, preferably 145°≤θ≤155°, and a proper angle range is selected to ensure the effect of the beveled edge. Further, distances between adjacent two of the filling grooves are L1, which are gradually decreased in a direction away from the d-axis. A width of the slit groove is L2, which is gradually decreased in a direction away from a center of the rotor core. A width of the magnetic channel formed between adjacent two of the slit grooves is L3, which is gradually decreased in the direction away from the center of the rotor core. The magnetic channel close to a rotor center has a strong magnetic field strength, and the magnetic channel is designed to be wide to avoid the influence of magnetic field saturation on the output and efficiency of the motor. 
     The slit groove and the corresponding filling groove are combined to form a magnetic barrier layer, and each of the filling grooves is filled with a conductive and magnetic-insulation material, and preferably aluminum or aluminum alloy, so as to realize an asynchronous start of the motor. The magnetic barrier layer produces an inductance difference between the d-axis and the q-axis, and produces a reluctance torque to maintain the synchronous running of the motor. The filling grooves in the q-axis direction are composed of a plurality of filling grooves which are divided separately, and a width of the rib therebetween is L, wherein 0.5σ≤L&lt;σ, and σ is an air gap width between the stator core and the rotor core. The filling grooves are divided by the rib, and the width of the rib is smaller than the width of the air gap. By the filling grooves and the ribs, the ripple caused by the interaction with the stator and the vibration noise of the motor are reduced. 
     An angle α is occupied by the filling groove in the q-axis direction, i.e., the independent filling groove, relative to the rotor center, where 0.1τ≤α≤0.4τ, wherein τ is a polar pitch angle, i.e., τ=180°/p, and p is number of pole-pairs. Preferably, 0.25τ≤α≤0.35τ. For this embodiment, p is 2 and τ=90°, so 9°≤α≤36°, and preferably 22.5°≤α≤31.5°. Therefore, the filling groove may serve as a magnetic barrier layer to further increase the d-axis reluctance and reduce the d-axis flux, and may also serve as a starting squirrel cage to improve the starting performance of the motor. The filling grooves and the slit grooves are disposed in pairs on the rotor circumference, and there are at least two of the magnetic barrier layers formed by the filling grooves and the slit grooves in the radial direction of the rotor core. 
     A width k of the beveled edge is less than a width w of the end of the corresponding filling groove. Preferably, 0.3w≤k≤0.7w. By setting a proper width of the beveled edge, it can ensure the effectiveness of the beveled edge and reduce the magnetic leakage.  FIGS. 4 b  and 4 a    are comparison diagrams of the influences with the beveled edge and without the beveled edge on the magnetic field distribution of the motor in the present disclosure. After the beveled edge is disposed, the magnetic field may gradually transition into the stator through a notch, thereby avoiding the sudden change of the magnetic field, reducing the peak value of the electromagnetic torque and achieving the purpose of reducing the torque ripple. Meanwhile, the notch increases the width of the magnetic channel, the d-axis magnetic field entering the stator, and the d-axis inductance, thereby ensuring the output torque of the motor. 
     In which, an extending direction of the filling grooves at both ends of the slit groove is substantially parallel with the d-axis, so that the d-axis flux can flow smoothly in the d-axis direction. As the filling groove becomes closer to the corresponding d-axis, an extending length in the d-axis direction and the area of the filling groove increase. On the contrary, as the filling groove is farther from the corresponding d-axis, the extending length in the d-axis direction and the area of the filling groove decrease. The deep and narrow filling grooves have a skin effect, and the unequal filling grooves increase a pull-in torque in the starting process, which is helpful to improve the starting performance of the motor. 
     Further, the filling grooves and the slit grooves are disposed in pairs on the rotor circumference. There are at least two of the magnetic barrier layers formed by the filling grooves and the slit grooves in the radial direction of the rotor core, thereby forming paired poles and a plurality layers of magnetic barriers to increase the inductance gap and the reluctance torque; 
       FIG. 5  illustrates a comparison diagram of motor torque curves in the technology of the present disclosure and in the related art. It can be seen that by adopting the technical solution of the present disclosure, the torque ripple of the motor is reduced by about half, while the average torque of the motor is not reduced, thereby achieving a good technical effect, which is helpful to reduce the generated vibration noise of the motor. In which, the filling groove and the slit groove are not limited to straight-shaped, and may be arc-shaped. 
       FIG. 6  illustrates a comparison diagram of speed curves in motor starting processes in the technology of the present disclosure and in the related art. It can be seen that the starting speed of the motor in the present disclosure is faster, the starting and stabilizing time is shorter, and the starting capability is stronger. As illustrated in  FIG. 12 , L is a width of a reinforcing rib  50 , L1 is a width of a magnetic conduction channel formed between adjacent two of the filling grooves, L2 is a width of a slit groove, L3 is a width of a magnetic conduction channel formed between adjacent two of the slit grooves, and L4 is a width of a first reinforcing rib or a second reinforcing rib. In this embodiment, the width of the first reinforcing rib may be the same as or different from that of the second reinforcing rib.
