DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE EMBODIMENTS

[0020] Referring to FIGS. 1 to 3, an embodiment of the present disclosure provides a stator core used in a radial magnetic levitation bearing. The stator core includes an annular yoke 10. The annual yoke 10 has an inner circumferential wall 101 and an outer circumferential wall 102. A plurality of pole pillars 20 are disposed on the inner circumferential wall 101, and each of the pole pillars extends towards the axis of the inner circumferential wall 101. There is a distance D between the axis of the outer circumferential wall 102 and the axis of the inner circumferential wall 101, where D≠0, that is, the axis of the outer circumferential wall 102 and the axis of the inner circumferential wall 101 do not coincide, and there is an offset distance therebetween. In this case, it will objectively lead to a difference between radial thicknesses of the annular yoke in the related art. That is, the radial thickness of some part of the annular yoke 10 is relatively thick, while the radial thickness of some part of the annular yoke 10 is relatively thin. Specifically, the stator core with two similar pole pillars 20 is shown in FIG. 2, and the radial thickness of the upper yoke part is greater than the radial thickness of the lower yoke part, such that the cross-sectional area of the magnetic path in one region of the stator core is greater than that of the magnetic path in another region of the stator core. That is, compared with the stator core with a symmetrical structure in the related art, the stator core of the present disclosure has a non-centrosymmetric structure, and the output force of the magnetic levitation bearing corresponding to the region with a greater cross-sectional area of the magnetic path is increased. Moreover, the stator core of the present disclosure meets the requirement for the relatively small working current while meeting the requirement for the output force of the bearing, thereby greatly improving the reliability and stability of the magnetic levitation bearing during operation, greatly reducing the loss of silicon steel sheets, reducing the cost, and reducing the weight of the bearing, and the reliability of the magnetic levitation bearing system may also be improved.

[0021] In some embodiments, in a projection of the annular yoke 10 projected on any radial plane thereof, the inner circumferential wall 101 has a circle center O, the outer circumferential wall 102 has a circle center S, and the distance D is a distance between the circle center O and the circle center S. The stator core is symmetrical with reference to the straight line OS connecting the circle center O and the circle center S, and in this case, the stator core is of mirror symmetry with reference to the straight line OS, which ensures that while the output force of some region of the magnetic levitation bearing is increased, the control difficulty of the magnetic levitation bearing is reduced as well.

[0022] In some embodiments, a straight line passing through the circle center O and perpendicular to the straight line OS is a first straight line 103, and the first straight line 103 divides the annual yoke 10 into a first yoke part 104 and a second yoke part 105. An area A/of the first yoke part 104 is greater than an area A.sub.2 of the second yoke part 105. In the projection of the annular yoke 10 projected on any radial plane thereof, R denotes a radius of the outer circumferential wall 102, and r denotes a radius of the inner circumferential wall 101. An optimal range for A.sub.1 and A.sub.2 is obtained based on theoretical foundations as follows.

[0023] The electromagnetic force generated by the radial magnetic levitation bearing is:

[00002]$\begin{array}{cc}F=\frac{{\mu }_0{N}^2{\mathrm{Ai}}^2}{4x^2}& \mathrm{Formula}\left(1\right)\end{array}$

[0024] μ.sub.0 denotes air permeability, N denotes the coil turn, A denotes the cross-sectional area of the magnetic path of the stator core, i denotes a current of the coil, x denotes a length of an air gap. A depends on a cross-sectional area of an outer ring (namely, the annual yoke) of the stator core and cross-sectional areas of the pole pillars. When the coil turn is constant, the electromagnetic force is directly proportional to the coil current and the cross-sectional area of the magnetic path, and is inversely proportional to a square of the length of the air gap. The electromagnetic force of the bearing is mainly used to overcome the gravity and adjust a radial displacement of the rotor. Supposing that F.sub.1 denotes an upwards vertical resultant force of the electromagnetic forces of the bearing, and F.sub.2 denotes a downwards vertical resultant force of the electromagnetic forces, and an adjustment force is a times of the gravity and mainly includes a possible disturbance force and a centrifugal force generated due to a disequilibrium of the rotor itself during a rotation of the rotor, and a is in a range of 0.1 to 20, then

F.sub.1=(a+1)×()

F.sub.2=a×()  Formula (2)

[0025] The relationship among the cross-sectional area A.sub.1 of an upper magnetic path, the cross-sectional area A.sub.2 of a lower magnetic path, and the electromagnetic forces F.sub.1 and F.sub.2 is:

[00003]$\begin{array}{cc}\frac{A_1}{A_2}=\frac{F_1}{F_2}=\frac{a+1}{a}.& \mathrm{Formula}\left(3\right)\end{array}$

[0026] Then

[00004]$$\begin{gathered} \begin{array}{cc}{A}_1=\left(1+\frac{1}{a}\right)A_2 \\ {A}_2<A_1<11A_2.& \mathrm{Formula}\left(4\right)\end{array} \end{gathered}$$

[0027] As shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, in the solutions of the present disclosure, the cross-sectional area of the magnetic path is changed by adjusting the structure of the annular yoke 10 and the pole pillars 20 of the stator core of the radial bearing, thereby changing the electromagnetic force generated by the stator of the bearing. The annular yoke 10 of the stator core is shown in FIG. 3. The width of each part of the annular yoke 10 may be changed by changing the distance D (wherein 0<D<R−r) between the circle centers of the inner circumferential wall 101 and the outer circumferential wall 102 of the annular yoke 10, wherein the width of the upper-half part of the outer ring of the stator core is approximate L=R−r+D, and the width of the lower-half part is approximate 1=R−r−D, so that the cross-sectional area of the magnetic path of the stator core is changed, which may be realized when the formula (4) is satisfied.

[0028] Considering coil winding and the output force of the bearing, when the adjustment force is 0.2 to 5 times of the gravity, namely 0.2≤a≤5, the bearing structure is optimum and the performance is optimal, and the area of the upper-half part of the outer ring of the stator core is 1.2 to 6 times of the area of the lower-half part, namely 1.2A.sub.2≤A.sub.1≤6A.sub.2.

[00005]$\begin{array}{cc}1.2\le \frac{A_1}{A_2}\approx \frac{R-r+D}{R-r-D}\le 6& \mathrm{Formula}\left(5\right)\end{array}$

[0029] Namely,

[00006]$\begin{array}{cc}\frac{R-r}{11}\le D\le \frac{5\left(R-r\right)}{7}& \mathrm{Formula}\left(6\right)\end{array}$

[0030] When the distance D between the two circle centers is within a range of the formula (6), the bearing has an optimal structure.

[0031] The circumferential width of the pole pillar 20 at each position is consistent with a corresponding radial thickness of the annual yoke 10. When the performance is optimal, a width of the pole pillar of the upper-half part of the stator core is 1.2 to 6 times of a width of the pole pillar of the lower-half part. That is, a circumferential width W.sub.1 of the pole pillar 20 on the first yoke part 104 is greater than a circumferential width W.sub.2 of the pole pillar 20 on the second yoke part 105, and 1.2W.sub.2≤W.sub.1≤6W.sub.2 is satisfied.

[0032] In some embodiments, the pole pillars 20 on the first yoke part 104 are symmetrical with respect to the straight line OS, and H.sub.1 denotes a distance between an intersection of the straight line OS and the inner circumferential wall 101 and an intersection of the straight line OS and the outer circumferential wall 102, and the distance H.sub.1 and the pole pillar 20 on the first yoke part 104 are located at the same side of the first straight line 103, and W.sub.1=H.sub.1. And/or, the pole pillars 20 on the second yoke part 105 are symmetrical with respect to the straight line OS, and H.sub.2 denotes a distance between the intersection of the straight line OS and the outer circumferential wall 102 and the intersection of the straight line OS and the inner circumferential wall 101, and the distance H.sub.2 and the pole pillar 20 on the second yoke part 105 are located at the same side of the first straight line 103, and W.sub.2=H.sub.2. That is, the circumferential width of the pole pillar 20 is the same as a radial thickness of the yoke part at the corresponding position, so as to ensure better performance of the formed magnetic levitation bearing.

[0033] As shown in FIG. 3, the present disclosure further provides a magnetic levitation bearing, including the stator core above, winding coils 30 wound around the pole pillars 20 respectively, and a rotor 40 located in an inner hole of the stator core.

[0034] The present disclosure also provides a motor including the magnetic levitation bearing above.

[0035] It may be easily understood by those skilled in the art that, on the premise of no conflict, the above preferable embodiments may be freely combined and superimposed.

[0036] The above embodiments are merely some embodiments of the present disclosure, but not intended to limit the present disclosure. Any modifications, equivalent variations and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present disclosure should be included within the protection scope of the present disclosure.
