Abstract
The rotor has N poles, where N is an even number, and comprises a stack (LS) of plates (L) of magnetic material, each of which has N adjacent angular sectors (1-4), in each of which is formed a corresponding plurality of cavities or apertures (C) in which there extend corresponding permanent magnetic elements (M) which are magnetized in each sector (1-4) in the opposite direction to those of the adjacent sectors, and which are formed from a magnetic material moulded in the apertures or cavities (C) of the stack (LS) of plates (L).
Description
Permanent magnet rotor for a synchronous electrical machine, particularly for a reluctance motor
The present invention relates to a rotor for a synchronous electrical machine, particularly for a reluctance motor, provided with permanent magnets.
More specifically, the invention relates to a rotor with N poles, where N is an even integer, comprising a stack of plates of magnetic material, each having N adjacent angular sectors, in each of which is formed a corresponding plurality of cavities or apertures, into which there extend corresponding permanent magnetic elements which are magnetized in each sector in the opposite direction to those in the adjacent sectors.
A rotor of this type is described in US 5 818 140.
In the method used at present, such a rotor is made by inserting "solid" permanent magnets, for example permanent magnets made from neodymium, iron and boron, into the cavities of its angular sectors.
This solution requires the preliminary production of permanent magnets shaped so as to fit the shapes of the corresponding cavities of the rotor.
In practice, it is frequently useful or necessary for the cavities of the rotor to have a degree of inclination or "skewing".
The prior art, according to which permanent magnets are produced and inserted, does not facilitate the creation of a progressive "skewing" of the plates in the stack, but only allows skewing to be created between successive groups or sub-stacks of plates, thus giving rise to a considerable number of problems in respect of the shapes and/or number of the permanent magnets required for this purpose, and entailing significant expenditure.
One object of the present invention is therefore to propose an alternative method of making a rotor for a synchronous electrical machine, particularly for a reluctance motor, which
overcomes the aforementioned problems of the prior art.
This and other objects are achieved according to the invention by means of a rotor of the type specified above, characterized in that the aforesaid permanent magnetic elements are formed from a magnetic material which is injection moulded in the apertures or cavities of the stack of plates.
The solution according to the invention enables the permanent magnets to be formed in situ in the cavities in an extremely simple way, even in cases in which continuous or progressive skewing is present in the plates of the rotor stack.
When the solution according to the invention is used, the permanent magnetic elements can be overmoulded on the rotor plate stack in the presence of a magnetic field such that the magnetic domains of the permanent magnetic elements associated with each sector of the rotor can be orientated in the desired way.
Alternatively, the magnetic material can be moulded, by injection moulding for example, in the absence of magnetization in the mould, and the desired orientation of the domains can be obtained subsequently, outside the mould, using known types of magnetizing equipment.
In an alternative method, the desired orientation of the domains of the moulded permanent magnetic elements can be obtained by applying a magnetic field in the mould during the injection moulding, and by then carrying out a further magnetization operation after moulding, in a known type of magnetizing equipment.
Other features and advantages of the invention will be made clear by the following detailed description, provided purely by way of non-limiting example, with reference to the appended drawing, in which Figure 1 is a partial view in cross section of a four-pole rotor made according to the present invention.
With reference to Figure 1, a rotor R with N=4 poles, for a synchronous electrical machine,
particularly for a reluctance motor, comprises a stack LS of plates L of magnetic material, only one of which is visible in the drawing.
Each of the plates L of the stack LS has N=4 adjacent angular sectors, indicated by the numbers 1 to 4, ideally lying between two planes which intersect orthogonally on the axis O of the rotor, the orientations of these planes being shown by two broken lines identified as Ll and L2 in Figure 1.
Each of the angular sectors 1-4 has a corresponding plurality of cavities or apertures C capable of forming barriers to the flow of the magnetic flux in the rotor and having a generally curved shape, with the convexity of each curve facing the axis O of the rotor R. In the embodiment shown by way of example, each of the radially innermost cavities C is interrupted centrally by a corresponding radial link B for structural reinforcement.
In the embodiment, the stack LS of plates L is subjected to a moulding operation, such as injection moulding, by means of which elements M of permanent magnetic material are formed in the apertures or cavities C. The moulded magnetic material can be, for example, a plastic-ferrite, or a neodymium-iron-boron-based material in a plastic matrix.
If the material used is a plastic-ferrite or other material with a low specific magnetic energy, typically having a rather low magnetic induction, the cavities C can if necessary be filled completely by the magnetic elements moulded in them. In general, if materials with a high magnetic inductance, such as neodymium-iron-boron-based materials, are used, the cavities C may be only partially filled with the injection moulded magnetic elements, as shown by way of example in Figure 1.
As mentioned above, the domains of the injection moulded magnetic elements can be orientated within the mould and/or after moulding, in a known type of magnetizing equipment.
The injection moulded magnetic material can extend at least partially over the outer faces of the terminal plates of the rotor stack LS, in order to improve and reinforce the assembly
of this stack, thus facilitating the moulding of the stack.
The overmoulded magnetic material can subsequently be removed locally in order to improve the balance of the rotor.
The magnetization of the permanent magnetic elements M is essentially orientated, in a known way, in a radial direction, the direction in each sector being opposite to the direction in the adjacent sectors, as shown in Figure 1 in which the letters N and S indicate the "north" and "south" poles, respectively, of the permanent magnetic elements M.
The rotor according to the invention is easy to produce, even if progressive or continuous skewing is present in the stack LS of plates L.
In practice, the invention makes it possible to save time in the manufacture of the rotor, and enables a plurality of rotors to be produced simultaneously by using multiple moulds.
Naturally, the principle of the invention remaining the same, the forms of embodiment and the details of construction may be varied widely with respect to those described and illustrated, which have been given purely by way of non- limiting example, without thereby departing from the scope of the invention as defined by the attached claims.
