DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF EMBODIMENTS

[0041] In order that the above objects, features and advantages of the present disclosure may be more clearly understood, the present disclosure will be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and particular embodiments. It should be noted that the embodiments and features in the embodiments of the present application may be combined with one another without conflicts.

[0042] In the following description, numerous specific details are set forth in order to provide a thorough understanding of the present disclosure, but the disclosure may be practiced otherwise than as described herein, and therefore, the scope of the disclosure is not limited to the particular embodiments disclosed below.

[0043] A motor according to some embodiments of the present disclosure is described below with reference to FIGS. 1 to 4.

[0044] As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, an embodiment of the first aspect of the present disclosure provides a motor for a compressor. The motor comprises a stator comprising a stator core 2 of a circular tubular shape. The stator core 2 has an inner diameter and an outer diameter. The ratio k of the inner diameter to the outer diameter of the stator core 2 satisfies k>0.5. The motor further comprises a rotor 4 provided in a cylindrical space formed by the stator core 2. The rotor 4 comprises a rotor core 42 and a magnetic member 44 provided on the rotor core 42. The exhaust volume V of the compressor, the mass M of the rotor core 42 and the magnetic member 44, and the maximum radius R of an outer edge of the rotor 4 satisfy 2<V/(M*R.sup.2)*1000<4, wherein the unit of the exhaust volume V of the compressor is cm.sup.3, the unit of the mass M of the rotor core 42 and the magnetic member 44 is g, and the unit of the maximum radius R of the outer edge of the rotor 4 is cm.

[0045] The motor of the present disclosure comprises the stator and the rotor 4. The stator comprises the stator core 2. The rotor 4 is sleeved by the stator core 2 and is rotatable relative to the stator core 2. The rotor 4 further comprises components, such as a rivet and a counterbalance.

[0046] When the exhaust volume of the compressor is constant, as shown in FIG. 3 (the x-axis corresponds to the value of V/(M*R.sup.2)*1000 and the y-axis corresponds to the volume V of the motor), the volume of the motor decreases as the value of V/(M*R.sup.2)*1000 increases, i.e., the motor can be further minimized as the value of V/(M*R.sup.2)*1000 increases. However, in low-frequency operations of the compressor, if the value of V/(M*R.sup.2)*1000 increases, the speed fluctuation of the rotor 4 increases, the resistance against disturbance is lowered, and the energy efficiency of the compressor drops significantly. As the moment of inertia of the rotor 4 is proportional to the mass M of the rotor core 42 and the magnetic member 44 and the square of the maximum radius R of the outer edge of the rotor 4, the speed fluctuation can be reduced by increasing the maximum radius of the outer edge of the rotor 4, thereby improving the resistance of the rotor 4 against disturbance, and increasing the energy efficiency of the compressor. Moreover, the maximum radius of the outer edge of the rotor 4 is limited by the inner diameter of the stator core 2, and under the condition that the outer diameter of the stator core 2 is fixed, the inner diameter of the stator core 2 can be increased by optimizing the ratio k of the inner diameter to the outer diameter of the stator core 2, i.e. setting the value of k to be k>0.5, thereby ensuring that the maximum radius of the outer edge of the rotor 4 is increased. In addition, to ensure the miniaturization of the motor, as shown in FIG. 4 (the x-axis corresponds to the value of V/(M*R.sup.2)*1000, the y-axis corresponds to the energy efficiency of the compressor, the solid line is an energy efficiency curve of the compressor of the present disclosure, and the dotted line is an energy efficiency curve of a compressor in the related art), k is set to be greater than 0.5, and the energy efficiency of the compressor is improved as compared with the related art by way of increasing the outer diameter of the rotor core. The energy efficiency of the compressor is substantially equal when the value of V/(M*R.sup.2)*1000 is between 2 and 4. The point, at which the value of V/(M*R.sup.2)*1000 is 4, is a critical point where the energy efficiency of the compressor drops sharply. Therefore, the exhaust volume V of the compressor, the mass M of the rotor core 42 and the magnetic member 44, and the maximum radius R of the outer edge of the rotor 4 needs to satisfy 2<V/(M*R.sup.2)*1000<4, wherein the unit of the exhaust volume V of the compressor is cm.sup.3, the unit of the mass M of the rotor core 42 and the magnetic member 44 is g, and the unit of the maximum radius R of the outer edge of the rotor 4 is cm. Therefore, the motor reduces speed fluctuation and improves the resistance of the rotor 4 against disturbance at the same time of ensuring motor miniaturization, effectively improves the operational stability of the compressor in the low-frequency operation process of the compressor, increases the machine efficiency of the compressor, and reduces the compressor noise.

[0047] As shown in FIGS. 1 to 4, in an embodiment of the present disclosure, optionally, the ratio k of the inner diameter to the outer diameter of the stator core 2 satisfies k>0.57; and the exhaust volume V of the compressor, the mass M of the rotor core 42 and the magnetic member 44, and the maximum radius R of the outer edge of the rotor 4 satisfy 2.2<V/(M*R.sup.2)*1000<3.7.

[0048] In this embodiment, the range of the ratio k of the inner diameter to the outer diameter of the stator core 2 is further optimized by setting k to be greater than 0.57. As shown in FIG. 3, the volume of the motor decreases as the value of V/(M*R.sup.2)*1000 increases, and when the value of V/(M*R.sup.2)*1000 is 2.2, the volume of the motor is correspondingly reduced by about half. As shown in FIG. 4, according to the present disclosure, the energy efficiency of the compressor is improved as compared with the related art by way of increasing the outer diameter of the rotor core, and the energy efficiency of the compressor is substantially equal when the value of V/(M*R.sup.2)*1000 is between 2.2 and 3.7. Therefore, when the exhaust volume V of the compressor, the mass M of the rotor core 42 and the magnetic member 44, and the maximum radius R of the outer edge of the rotor 4 satisfy 2.2<V/(M*R.sup.2)*1000<3.7, wherein the unit of the exhaust volume V of the compressor is cm.sup.3, the unit of the mass M of the rotor core 42 and the magnetic member 44 is g, and the unit of the maximum radius R of the outer edge of the rotor 4 is cm, the provided motor reduces speed fluctuation and further improves the resistance of the rotor 4 against disturbance at the same time of ensuring motor miniaturization, effectively improves the operational stability of the compressor in the low-frequency operation process of the compressor, increases the machine efficiency of the compressor, and further reduces the compressor noise.

[0049] In an embodiment of the present disclosure, optionally, the magnetic member 44 is a permanent magnet.

[0050] In this technical solution, a permanent magnet rather than an electromagnet is adopted as the magnetic member 44, so that the magnetic member 44 needs not to be connected to a power supply, thereby simplifying the structure.

In addition, in the concentrated winding motor structure, the motor has a large inner diameter, and thus the rotor 4 can be made to have a large outer diameter, so that the operational stability of the compressor in low-frequency operations can be effectively improved.

[0055] In an embodiment of the present disclosure, optionally, as shown in FIG. 1, the stator core 2 comprises a plurality of punched laminations stacked together and each provided with a plurality of tooth slots 22 formed in an inner side of the punched lamination and uniformly distributed along the circumference of the punched lamination.

In addition, the positions of the plurality of tooth slots 22 formed in each punched lamination are identical, and the stator further comprises windings, so that the windings can be conveniently wound in the tooth slots 22 in the inner side of the punched laminations stacked together.

[0057] Alternatively, the plurality of tooth slots 22 are uniformly distributed at intervals, so that the windings can be uniformly distributed on the stator core 2, thereby allowing the distribution of the magnetic density of the stator to be uniform, and improving the performance of the motor.
