Description

CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATION

This patent application claims the benefit and priority of Chinese Patent Application No. 202310075429.6, filed with the China National Intellectual Property Administration on Feb. 7, 2023, the disclosure of which is incorporated by reference herein in its entirety as part of the present application.

TECHNICAL FIELD

The present disclosure relates to the field of magnetic couplings, in particular to a permanent magnet rotor magnetic coupling based on a double-sided stepped structure and a three-dimensional Halbach magnetic pole arrangement.

BACKGROUND

At present, the well-known magnetic couplings are usually of disc and cylindrical structures. When the magnetic coupling needs speed control, the speed control modes of the disc structure and the cylindrical structure are different in form. The disc structure is to change a breath thickness between two discs, and the cylindrical structure is to change a meshing area between inner and outer cylinders.

However, there are some shortcomings in the disc and cylindrical structures. The disc structure is small in speed control width and short in speed control execution distance. When a clearance between the two discs is small, the disc structure may generate a large axial force in the torque transfer process, such that the speed control execution required by the small clearance is large, and the requirements for bearings at both ends are also high. The speed control mode of the cylindrical structure is to change the meshing area, large strip magnetic blocks are generally adopted for the structure, and such magnetic blocks are long in production cycle and high in cost.

Moreover, in the disc and cylindrical structures, the polarity arrangement of magnetic blocks is usually a single arrangement in an axial direction or radial direction, which leads to the limited combination of polarity arrangement in the conventional structure.

SUMMARY

An objective of the present disclosure is to provide a permanent magnet rotor magnetic coupling based on a double-sided stepped structure and a three-dimensional Halbach magnetic pole arrangement, which includes a conductor outer rotor assembly, and a magnet inner rotor assembly.

The conductor outer rotor assembly includes a right outer rotor assembly, and a bearing connected to the right outer rotor assembly.

The right outer rotor assembly includes a right conductor yoke, and multiple conductive rings.

Multiple conductive ring grooves are formed in the right conductor yoke, and the conductive ring grooves are arranged in a stepped manner.

The conductive rings are assembled inside the right conductor yoke through the conductive ring grooves.

The magnet inner rotor assembly includes a right inner rotor assembly, and a bearing connected to the right inner rotor assembly.

The right inner rotor assembly is assembled with the right outer rotor assembly.

The right inner rotor assembly includes a right magnet yoke, and multiple magnetic rings.

Multiple magnetic ring grooves are formed in a surface of the right magnet yoke, and the magnetic ring grooves are arranged in a stepped manner.

The magnetic rings are assembled to a surface of the right conductor yoke through the magnetic ring grooves.

The magnetic rings include multiple magnetic blocks, and all magnetic blocks are arranged in a three-dimensional Halbach magnetic distribution manner.

When the permanent magnet rotor magnetic coupling operates, the conductive ring and the magnetic ring rotate with respect to each other, and the conductive ring generates an induced current under the action of an inherent magnetic field of the magnetic ring, and in turn generates an induced magnetic field, and an interaction between the induced magnetic field and the inherent magnetic field enables power to be transferred.

Preferably, the conductive ring and the magnetic ring are arranged in pairs.

Preferably, the magnetic blocks are circumferentially and continuously arranged on the surface of the right conductor yoke, so as to present magnetic rings with different diameters in different magnetic ring grooves.

Preferably, the magnetic blocks in different magnetic ring grooves have different magnetic directions.

Preferably, a magnetic field generated by the magnetic ring has a circumferential phase difference.

Preferably, the magnetic field generated by the magnetic ring has an axial phase difference.

Preferably, the number of the magnetic blocks located in different magnetic ring grooves is different.

There is no doubt about the technical effect of the present disclosure. The adopted stepped structure can make the magnetic blocks have multiple polarity arrangement modes, thus generating multiple different spatial magnetic field distributions, which can be used in scenes with different power transfer requirements.

Compared with unidirectional polarity arrangements of disc and cylindrical structures, the stepped permanent magnet rotor magnetic coupling provided by the present disclosure is in three-dimensional arrangement, and thus have a large magnetic field space divergence.

Compared with a disc type permanent magnet rotor magnetic coupling, the permanent magnet rotor magnetic coupling provided by the present disclosure has a large axial width, which makes the speed control width large, the speed control execution distance long and the applicable speed control range increased, and also alleviates the shortage of large axial force of the disc structure.

Compared with a cylindrical permanent magnet rotor magnetic coupling, the magnetic block according to the present disclosure is small, and thus the production cycle of the magnetic block is short.

Referring to the arrangement details of small magnetic blocks on the magnet yoke in FIG. 8.

The magnetic directions of the small magnetic blocks at different positions of the stepped magnet yoke may be different. FIG. 9 and FIG. 10 are schematic diagrams of polar direction decomposition of the small magnetic blocks, in which a gray cube represents a small magnetic block, a thick arrow in the cube represents a magnetic pole direction, and an arrow on a cube surface represents the decomposition of the magnetic pole direction in a circumferential direction and an axial direction.
