    摘要: A rotor assembly of a motor is configured to be rotatable relative to a stator. The rotor assembly may comprise a permanent magnet rotor segment comprising permanent magnets, the permanent magnet rotor segment configured to be rotatable by a magnetic field generated by the permanent magnets; and a reluctance rotor segment comprising flux barriers, the reluctance rotor segment configured to be rotatable by magnetic reluctance formed by the flux barriers. The permanent magnet rotor segment and the reluctance rotor segment are axially stacked relative to each other so that at least a part of a first torque ripple generated by the permanent magnet rotor segment and at least a part of a second torque ripple generated by the reluctance rotor segment can cancel each other. The permanent magnet rotor segment may be a rare earth permanent magnet rotor, and the reluctance rotor segment may be a synchronous reluctance rotor.

    摘要: The present disclosure provides a direct starting synchronous reluctance motor rotor, and a motor. The direct starting synchronous reluctance motor rotor comprises: a rotor core provided with a plurality of slit grooves, two filling grooves are respectively disposed at two ends of each of the slit grooves to form a magnetic barrier layer, a first end of the filling groove being disposed adjacent to the slit groove, a second end of the filling groove being disposed to be extended outwards an outside of the rotor core, a beveled edge is disposed on the second end of at least one of the filling grooves away from a d-axis of the rotor core, so that a d-axis flux of the rotor core will not suddenly change when entering a stator along a channel formed at the beveled edge. With this arrangement, a 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.

    摘要: A rotor includes a magnetic field-generating component for producing a rotor magnetic field and a rotor core for holding the component. The rotor core has an annular rotor yoke and at least two rotor poles which are arranged on the rotor yoke and are configured in multiple parts, and each of which has a rotor tooth integrally formed on the rotor yoke and a pole shoe that is separate from the rotor tooth for arranging the component on the corresponding rotor tooth. The pole shoes are pressed radially against the respective rotor tooth, and the rotor has auxiliary joining parts, each of which is configured to fix at least one pole shoe to the corresponding rotor tooth by a force-fitting connection and which are at least partly arranged in respective pole gaps between two rotor poles and are secured to the rotor yoke by at least one connection element.

    摘要: A rotor for a reluctance machine includes a rotor body having cavities defined by inner surfaces of the rotor body, a filler disposed within the cavities, and an adhesive coating that covalently bonds the filler to the inner surfaces of the rotor body. The adhesive coating exhibits a composite structure including a continuous matrix component and a discontinuous organic component dispersed throughout the matrix component, wherein the matrix component comprises an inorganic siloxane network and the organic component comprises a plurality of organic groups bonded to the inorganic siloxane network. The adhesive coating is formed on the inner surfaces of the rotor body by depositing a precursor composition on the inner surfaces of a rotor body and exposing the precursor composition to a plasma. The precursor composition comprises an organofunctional silane or a hydrolysate thereof.

    摘要: A rotor (1) with N poles, wherein N is an even integer, wherein said rotor (1) is devoid of permanent magnets comprising rare earth elements and comprises a cylindrical body (2) and a filling material (16). The cylindrical body (2) extends along a body axis (X) and—in a plane perpendicular to the body axis (X)—delimits N adjacent angular sectors (4, 6). Each angular sector (4, 6) delimits cylindrical cavities (8, 12, 14, 8′, 12′, 14′) which have curvilinear cross-sections, where concave surfaces (18, 20, 22, 18′, 20′, 22′) of said cylindrical cavities (8, 12, 14, 8′, 12′, 14′) are directed in the opposite direction to the body axis (X). The filling material (16) fills at least partly the cylindrical cavities (8, 12, 14, 8′, 12′, 14′) and comprises or consists of a polymer matrix. At least one angular sector (6) delimits cylindrical cavities (8′, 12′, 14′) with a first geometry (type A) and at least one second angular sector (4) delimits cylindrical cavities (8, 12, 14) with a second geometry (type B) different from said first geometry. The first angular sector (6) is arranged angularly alternating with the second angular sector (4).
