DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

(7) In order for the objectives, technical solutions and advantages of the present disclosure to be clearer, the technical solutions of the present disclosure will be clearly and completely described in conjunction with the specific embodiments of the present disclosure and corresponding accompanying drawings. It is apparent that those described are only a part, rather than all, of the embodiments of the present disclosure. Based on the embodiments in the present disclosure, any other embodiment obtained by persons of ordinary skill in the art without creative work should fall within the protection scope of the present disclosure.

(8) It should be noted that the terms ‘first’, ‘second’, etc. in the specification and claims of the present disclosure and the above accompanying drawings are used to distinguish similar objects, and not necessarily to describe a specific order or sequence. It should be understood that the order numbers used in this way can be interchanged under appropriate circumstances so that the embodiments of the present disclosure described here can be implemented in an order other than those illustrated or described here.

(9) FIGS. 1, 2 and 3 illustrate a rotor assembly, including a rotor body 1.

(10) The rotor body 1 includes a plurality of magnetic poles (not illustrated) centered on an axis of a rotor and uniformly arranged along a circumferential direction of the rotor body 1; each of the magnetic poles includes a filling slot 11 provided therein with a conductive and magnetic isolation material (not illustrated), wherein the conductive and magnetic isolation material may be aluminum or aluminum alloy, but is not limited thereto. The filling slots 11 of the plurality of magnetic poles are orderly arranged along the circumferential direction of the rotor body 1; two ends of each of the filling slots 11 along the circumferential direction of the rotor body 1 have a first sidewall 111 and a second sidewall 112 respectively; the first sidewall 111 of each of the filling slots 11 is parallel to the second sidewall 112 of the adjacent filling slot 11, and the first sidewall 111 of each of the filling slots 11 and the second sidewall 112 of the adjacent filling slot 11 together form a magnetic flux channel 12 parallel to q-axis. By adopting such a technical solution, the design is reasonable and the cost is low, and compared with the prior art, the magnetic flux along the q-axis can be smoother, and a difference between the magnetic flux along d-axis and q-axis can be more obvious, thereby improving the output power and efficiency.

(11) In actual manufacturing, there is a distance between the filling slot 11 and an outer peripheral wall of the rotor body 1, so that when the conductive and magnetic isolation material is filled into the filling slot 11, the conductive and magnetic isolation material will not protrude from the outer peripheral wall of the rotor body 1, i.e., when the filling of the conductive and magnetic isolation material is finished, the outer peripheral wall of the rotor body 1 does not need to be processed, thereby reducing the manufacturing cost.

(12) Further, as illustrated in FIGS. 1, 2 and 3, the magnetic pole further includes a slit slot 13 separated from the filling slot 11, and the filling slot 11 includes a first filling slot 113. On a cross-section perpendicular to an axis of the rotor body 1, in the same magnetic pole, the slit slot 13 and the first filling slot 113 are arranged along the d-axis of the rotor body 1, and the slit slot 13 is located between the first filling slot 113 and the axis of the rotor body 1. In this way, air circulates in the slit slot 13 so that the rotor body 1 can dissipate heat through the slit slot 13. In which, as illustrated in FIG. 2, on the cross-section perpendicular to the axis of the rotor body 1, the slit slot 13 is extended along a straight line, or as illustrated in FIG. 3, the slit slot 13 is extended along an arc line.

(13) In some embodiments, as illustrated in FIGS. 2 and 3, on the cross-section perpendicular to the axis of the rotor body 1, the first filling slot 113 and the slit slot 13 are both axisymmetric shapes with the d-axis as a symmetry axis. In this way, a magnetic barrier layer for blocking the magnetic flux along the d-axis can be formed between the first filling slot 113 and the slit slot 13, to further increase the magnetic resistance along the d-axis and decrease the magnetic flux along the d-axis, thereby making the difference between the magnetic flux along the d-axis and the q-axis be more obvious, and further improving the efficiency of the motor. In actual manufacturing, as illustrated in FIGS. 2 and 3, on the cross-section perpendicular to the axis of the rotor body 1, lines respectively connecting two ends of the first filling slot 113 along the circumferential direction of the rotor body 1 with a center of rotor body 1 form an angle α, and 0.05τ≤α≤0.3τ, in some embodiments 0.15τ≤α≤0.26τ, wherein τ=180°/p, and p is the number of pole pairs. This can avoid the problem that the angle α formed by the first filling slot 113 is too large and causes an asynchronous torque to be small and a starting capability of the motor to be deteriorated.

(14) Further, as illustrated in FIGS. 2 and 3, in each of the magnetic poles, there are at least two slit slots 13 arranged at intervals along the d-axis. In this way, a magnetic barrier layer for blocking the magnetic flux along the d-axis can also be formed between adjacent slit slots 13, so as to further increase the magnetic resistance along the d-axis and decrease the magnetic flux along the d-axis.

(15) In actual manufacturing, the slit slot 13 is extended along a straight line on the cross-section perpendicular to the axis of the rotor body 1, along the d-axis, a distance between the first filling slot 113 and the adjacent slit slot 13 is smaller than a distance between the adjacent slit slots 13. Further, in each of the magnetic poles, there are at least three slit slots 13, and the distances between the adjacent slit slots 13 decrease successively in a direction along the d-axis and away from the axis of the rotor body 1, i.e., d6>d7>d8>d9, as illustrated in FIG. 2. In this way, the width of the magnetic flux channel can correspond to the magnetic channel formed between the filling slots 11, so that more magnetic flux can flow smoothly along the q-axis to increase the inductance of the q-axis and improve the motor output and efficiency.

(16) In an implementation manner, as illustrated in FIGS. 2 and 3, the filling slot 11 includes second filling slots 114, the number of which is twice the number of the slit slots 13. On the cross-section perpendicular to the axis of the rotor body 1, two ends of each of the slit slots 13 are respectively provided with one filling slot 114, two filling slot 114 provided two ends of each of the slit slots 13 are symmetrical to each other with the d-axis as a symmetry axis.

(17) In actual manufacturing, in each of the magnetic poles, the distance between the first filling slot 113 and the adjacent second filling slot 114 along the circumferential direction of the rotor body 1 is smaller than the distance between adjacent two of the second filling slots 114. Further, when there are at least three slit slots 13 in each of the magnetic poles, the distances between adjacent two of the second filling slots 114 increase successively in a direction along the circumference of the rotor body 1 and away from the first filling slot 113. That is, as illustrated in FIGS. 2 and 3, the widths of the magnetic flux channel 12 formed between adjacent two of the filling slots decrease gradually in a direction away from the q-axis, i.e., d1>d2>d3>d4>d5. Since the magnetic flux along the q-axis is influenced more as the magnetic flux channel 12 is closer to the q-axis, the width of the magnetic flux channel 12 close to the q-axis is designed to be wider to allow more magnetic flux to flow in, while avoiding a magnetic flux saturation, so as to use the magnetic flux more effectively, increase the inductance along the q-axis, and improve the motor output and efficiency.

(18) Meanwhile, in the same magnetic pole, areas of the second filling slots 114 on the cross-section perpendicular to the axis of the rotor body 1 increase successively in a direction along the circumference of the rotor body 1 and away from the first filling slot 113. That is, as the second filling slot 114 is closer to the corresponding q-axis, a length extending towards the q-axis increases, and the area of the second filling slot 114 increases. Conversely, as the second filling slot 114 is farther from the corresponding q-axis axis, the length extending towards the q-axis decreases, and the area of the second filling slot 114 decreases. The deep and narrow second filling slot 114 has a skin effect, which helps to improve the start performance of the motor. In the same magnetic pole, lengths of the second filling slots 114 extending from the outer peripheral wall of the rotor body 1 toward the slit slots 13 increase successively in a direction away from the first filling slot 113.

(19) In an implementation manner, as illustrated in FIG. 1, a conductive ring 2 is further included to be fixedly connected to an axial end of the rotor body 1 and attached onto the conductive and magnetic isolation material provided in the filling slot 11. The conductive and magnetic isolation materials in all of the filling slots 11 can be conducted through the conductive ring 2, so that the conductive and magnetic isolation materials in all of the filling slots 11 can form a squirrel-cage to achieve an asynchronous start.

(20) In some embodiments, the material of the conductive ring 2 is the same as the conductive and magnetic isolation materials provided in the filling slots 11. At this time, a magnetic isolation material (which may be a non-conductive material) is provided in the slit slot 13 to prevent the material on the conductive ring 2 from falling off and entering the slit slot 13.

(21) In an implementation manner, as illustrated in FIG. 4, the conductive ring 2 has a heat dissipation hole 21, and the slit slot 13 is located in the heat dissipation hole 21 on a projection along the axis of the rotor body 1. This can prevent the conductive ring 2 from covering the slit slot 13, thereby ensuring the heat dissipation effect. In actual manufacturing, an outer profile of the conductive ring 2 may be cylindrical, but is not limited thereto, and a shape of the heat dissipation hole 21 may be cylindrical, but is not limited thereto.

(22) In order to achieve the objective of the present disclosure, another aspect of the present disclosure provides a motor including the rotor assembly described in the above embodiments.

(23) In some embodiments, as illustrated in FIG. 5, the motor further includes a stator 3. The stator 3 has a mounting hole 31. The rotor body 1 of the rotor assembly is disposed to pass through and coaxial with the mounting hole 31, and a distance between an outer wall of the rotor body 1 and an inner wall of the mounting hole 31 is H along the radial direction of the rotor body 1. Referring to FIGS. 2 and 5, on the rotor body 1, when two ends of each of the slit slots 13 are respectively provided with one filling slot 114, a minimum distance from the slit slot 13 to the second filling slots 114 corresponding to the two ends thereof is L, and H≤L≤2H.

(24) The above embodiments make the present disclosure have the advantages that the design is reasonable and the cost is low, the magnetic flux along the q-axis can be smoother, and a difference between the magnetic flux along d-axis and q-axis can be more obvious, thereby improving the output power and efficiency.

(25) Those described above are merely embodiments of the present disclosure, rather than limitations to the present disclosure. Various modifications and changes can be made to the present disclosure by persons skilled in the art. Any modification, equivalent replacement, improvement, etc. made within the spirit and principle of the present disclosure should fall within the scope of the claims of the present disclosure.
