MOTOR CORE

Abstract

A motor core has multiple silicon steel sheets and multiple layers of electrically insulating colloid. Each one of the multiple layers of electrically insulating colloid is disposed between adjacent two of the silicon steel sheets. This reduces the chance of forming eddy currents, reducing the eddy current loss of the motor core during operation.

Claims

1. A motor core comprising: multiple silicon steel sheets; and multiple layers of electrically insulating colloid each disposed between adjacent two of the silicon steel sheets.

2. The motor core as claimed in claim 1, wherein each layer of the electrically insulating colloid is annularly arranged at spaced intervals on upper and lower faces of corresponding two of the silicon steel sheets, so that a gap is formed between the corresponding two of the silicon steel sheets.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF PREFERRED EMBODIMENT

[0021] With reference to FIGS. 1 to 4A, a first embodiment of a manufacturing method of a motor core in accordance with the present invention comprises the following steps: a preparing step S1, a coating step S2, a stacking step S3, and a forming step S4.

[0022] In the preparing Step S1, multiple silicon steel sheets 10 are cleaned and dried.

[0023] In the coating step S2, an electrically insulating colloid 20 is coated between each pair of adjacent silicon steel sheets 10, and preferably, the electrically insulating colloid 20 is arranged annularly at spaced intervals on upper and lower surfaces of each pair of adjacent silicon steel sheets 10.

[0024] In the stacking step S3, the silicon steel sheets 10 on which the electrically insulating colloid 20 is applied are stacked on each other to form a layered structure in which a gap is formed between each pair of adjacent silicon steel sheets 10.

[0025] In the forming step S4, the stacked silicon steel sheets 10 are subjected to a colloid curing process so that the electrically insulating colloid 20 forms a thermosetting plastic, and the silicon steel sheets 10 are electrically unconnected and the finished product of a motor core is shown in FIG. 5. In addition, the colloid curing step may be a heating or anaerobic or pressurization process. The heating range of the colloid curing procedure is 100 C to 250 C when the colloid curing step is a heating step. For the pressurization program, the pressing force of the pressing process is 2000 kgf to 10000 kgf.

[0026] With reference to FIGS. 6 to 7A, a second embodiment of a manufacturing method for a motor core in accordance with the present invention is substantially the same as the first embodiment except for the following features. In the coating step S2, the electrically insulating colloid 20 is completely covered on the upper and lower surfaces of each pair of adjacent silicon steel sheets 10. In the stacking step S3, the gaps between the adjacent steel sheets 10 are filled with the electrically insulating colloid 20.

[0027] In summary, the main feature of the present invention is that the electrically insulating colloid 20 is applied on the upper and lower surfaces of each pair of adjacent silicon steel sheets 10 so that the electrically insulating colloid 20 is provided between the upper and lower surfaces of each pair of adjacent silicon steel sheets 10. The magnetic field lines cannot pass through the electrically insulating colloid 20 during the operation, so that the magnetic field lines can only run in the respective silicon steel sheets 10, and the chance of forming vortices is greatly reduced. Therefore, the present invention can significantly reduce the eddy current loss of the motor core during operation.

[0028] With reference to FIGS. 2 to 4A, a first embodiment of a motor core product in accordance with the present invention comprises multiple silicon steel sheets 10 and multiple layers of electrically insulating colloid 20.

[0029] Each one of the silicon steel sheets 10 is disk-shaped, and the electrically insulating colloids 20 are arranged at intervals on the upper and lower surfaces of each pair of adjacent silicon steel sheets 10, so that a gap is formed between each pair of adjacent silicon steel sheets 10.

[0030] With reference to FIGS. 6 to 7A, a second embodiment of a motor core in accordance with the present invention is substantially the same as the first embodiment except for the following features. The multiple layers of electrically insulating colloids 20 are completely coated on the upper and lower surfaces of each pair of adjacent silicon steel sheets 10 so that an electrically insulating colloid 20 is filled in the gap between each pair of adjacent silicon steel sheets 10.

[0031] Even though numerous characteristics and advantages of the present invention have been set forth in the foregoing description, together with details of the structure and function of the invention, the disclosure is illustrative only, and changes may be made in detail, especially in matters of shape, size, and arrangement of parts within the principles of the invention to the full extent indicated by the broad general meaning of the terms in which the appended claims are expressed.
