The present application claims priority from Japanese application serial no. 2004-66465, filed on Mar. 10, 2004, the content of which is hereby incorporated by reference into this application.
The present invention relates to a permanent magnet rotating electric machine suitable for use for an electric car and the electric car using it.
A motor used to drive an electric car, particularly an electric vehicle and a hybrid electric vehicle, is desired to be small, light, and highly efficient. In recent years, by development of a highly efficient magnet material, as a drive motor for an electric car (particularly an electric vehicle and a hybrid electric vehicle), in consideration of the respect that it can be made smaller, lighter, and more highly efficient than an induction motor and a reluctance motor, a permanent magnet motor has been used predominantly. The reason is that the permanent magnet motor can generate a large amount of magnetic flux without supplying a large current. Particularly, in a region of high torque at a low speed, the characteristic can be realized. On the other hand, at a high speed, an occurrence of iron loss and an occurrence of high voltage due to the magnetic flux amount often come into a problem.
As a rotor structure of a motor used for an electric car, particular an electric vehicle and a hybrid electric vehicle, in consideration of countermeasures for an occurrence of iron loss and an occurrence of high voltage and retention of permanent magnets, an embedding type permanent magnet rotating electric machine for embedding permanent magnets in a laminated silicone steel plate is known. Furthermore, as described in Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. Hei09(1997)-261901, as a structure of reducing the rate of torque by magnets and reducing the magnetic flux amount of permanent magnets, a structure of arranging auxiliary salient poles between permanent magnets is known. In this structure, since the magnetic flux of the permanent magnets is little, the iron loss at a comparatively high speed is little, while in a region requiring low speed torque, reluctant torque is produced by the auxiliary salient poles and little magnetic torque can be compensated for.
However, even in the structure described in Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. Hei09(1997)-261901, particularly in a case of a drive motor used in a hybrid electric vehicle, the iron loss due to the magnetic flux of the permanent magnets becomes braking force and increases fuel expenses of the car, so that the iron loss in a high-speed region comes into a problem.
Further, as a motor used to drive an electric car, particularly an electric vehicle and a hybrid electric vehicle, the reduction in the torque ripple is important from the viewpoint of comfortableness to ride in and noise reduction, though this respect is not taken into account in conventional motors.
The first object of the present invention is to provide a highly efficient permanent magnet rotating electric machine capable of more reducing effects of iron loss and an electric car using it.
Further, the second object of the present invention is to provide a permanent magnet rotating electric machine of a low torque ripple capable of reducing the torque ripple and an electric car using it.

By use of such a constitution, the effect of iron loss can be reduced more and high efficiency can be realized.

According to the present invention, a permanent magnet rotating electric machine of a low torque ripple can be obtained and an electric car of low vibration and noise can be obtained.
Hereinafter, the constitution of the permanent magnet rotating electric machine Of the first embodiments of the present invention will be explained with reference to
Firstly, by referring to
As shown in
On the shaft 8 of the rotor 3, a magnetic pole position sensor PS for detecting the position of the rotor 3 and a position sensor E are installed. According to the position of the rotor detected by the magnetic pole position sensor PS for detecting the position of the rotor 3 and the position sensor E, a 3-phase current is supplied to the stator windings 5, thus a rotating magnetic field is generated. Magnetic attraction and repulsion force are generated between the rotating magnetic field and the permanent magnets of the rotor 3, thus continuous rotary power is generated. Here, when the current phase is properly selected, in the low speed and large torque region, the composite torque of the torque by permanent magnet torque 6 and the torque by auxiliary salient poles 71 is controlled so as to be maximized.
On the other hand, in the high speed region where the induced voltage of the permanent magnets is higher than the terminal voltage of the motor, the current vector is moved forward, thus the rotating magnetic field by the stator winding current is controlled by weak field control so as to be applied to the center of the permanent magnets 6 as demagnetizing force. By doing this, the magnetic flux of the permanent magnets 6 is effectively reduced, thus the iron loss of the rotating electric machine can be reduced and a highly efficient operation can be performed.
Next, as shown in
The rotor iron core 7 has insertion holes 70 for the permanent magnets 6 arranged at even intervals in the peripheral direction. The permanent magnets 6 are inserted into the insertion holes 70. The number of poles of the rotor 3 is 8 and the number of insertion holes 70 is 16. For example, permanent magnets 6A1 and 6A2 inserted into two insertion holes 70A1 and 70A2 constitute the same pole, thus one pole is formed. For example, assuming the polarity of the permanent poles 6A1 and 6A2 as pole S, the polarity of the neighboring permanent magnets 6B1 and 6B2 in the peripheral direction becomes pole N and mutual polarity is obtained in the peripheral direction. The insertion holes 70A1 and 70A2 are arranged symmetrically with respect to line in the radial direction of the rotor iron core 7 and in a V shape. Therefore, two permanent magnets 6B1 and 6B2 are arranged per magnetic pole, so that the flux density per magnetic pole is increased.
The rotor iron core 7 has magnetic pole pieces 72 installed on the outer periphery of the permanent magnets 6. The magnetic pole pieces 72 form a magnetic circuit through which the magnetic flux generated by the permanent magnets 6 flows toward the stator 2 via the air gap formed between the rotor 3 and the stator 2.
The permanent magnets 6 forming the respective magnetic poles adjoin each other via the auxiliary salient poles 71 which are a part of the rotor iron core 7. The auxiliary magnetic poles 71 bypass the magnetic circuit of the magnets and directly generate the magnetic flux on the stator side by the electromotive force of the stator. The magnetic pole pieces 72 and the auxiliary salient poles 71 are connected by bridges 73 to increase the mechanical strength thereof.
Between the magnets 6A1 and 6A2 and the bridges 73, triangular air gaps 75A1 and 75A2 are respectively formed and between the magnets 6A1 and 6A2 forming the same pole, a triangular air gap 75A3 is formed. Air exists inside the air gaps 75A1, 75A2, and 75A3 and the leakage flux is reduced.
The inner peripheral side of the insertion holes 70, the auxiliary salient poles 71, and the air gaps 75A1, 75A2, and 75A3 is a rotor yoke 74 constituting the magnetic path of the permanent magnets 6. By the above constitution, the so-called embedding type permanent magnet rotating electric machine is formed.
The aforementioned control by weak field current, by increasing the current, can reduce the basic wave part of the iron loss, though the high frequency component of the iron loss is increased inversely and after all, the iron loss may not be reduced.
On the other hand, when the air gap length is increased, the iron loss by high frequency waves is decreased. However, in correspondence to an increase in the air gap length, the torque is reduced. Therefore, it is important to suppress an increase in the iron loss at a high speed while suppressing the reduction in an occurrence of torque.
Therefore, in this embodiment, on the peripheral part of the rotor iron core 7, that is, on the air gap face of the magnetic pole pieces 72, concavities 76 gently tilting from the central part of the magnetic poles to the end thereof are formed. Particularly, since the concavities 76 gently tilting from the central part of the magnetic poles to the end thereof are formed on the air gap face of the magnetic pole pieces of the rotor iron core, when the air gap length at the central part of the auxiliary salient poles 71 and the magnetic pole pieces 72 which greatly contribute to an occurrence of torque and do not affect an occurrence of iron loss is reduced and the air gap portion of the magnetic pole pieces from the center of the magnetic poles to the end thereof causing high frequency iron loss rather than an occurrence of torque is increased as shown in
Next, by referring to
The line connecting the center of the permanent magnets 6A1 and 6A2 constituting the same pole, that is, the center of the air gap 75A3 and the center of the rotor 3, that is, the center of the shaft 8 is assumed as L1. The insertion holes 70A and 70A2 are arranged so as to be symmetrical with respect to the line L1. Therefore, the permanent magnets 6A1 and 6A2 are also arranged so as to be symmetrical with respect to the line L1. The line L1 is a line indicating the central part of one magnetic pole.
Further, the lines connecting the centers of bridges 73A1 and 73A2 and the center of the rotor 3, that is, the center of the shaft 8 are assumed respectively as L2 and L3. The range between the lines L2 and L3 forms one magnetic pole. The angle ζ1 of one magnetic pole is an electric angle of 180° and is composed of 8 poles, so that it is a mechanical angle of 45°. Further, the angle θ2 in the drawn example is an electric angle of 130°.
Lines L4 and L5 are lines connecting the right corner of the permanent magnet 6A1 and the left corner of the permanent magnet 6A2 and the center of the rotor 3, that is, the center of the shaft 8.
Here, at the position of the central part of the magnetic poles, the air gap length between the outer peripheral part of the rotor 3 and the inner peripheral part of the stator 2 is assumed as G1, and the air gap length at the positions on the outer periphery of the rotor 3 where concavities 76A1 and 76A2 are formed are assumed as G2, and the air gap length at the end of the magnetic poles is assumed as G3. The air gap lengths G1 and G2 are longer than the air gap length G3 and in the rotor 3, in the neighborhood of the center of the magnetic pole portion thereof, the concavities 76 are formed on the outer periphery. Moreover, the air gap length G1 is shorter than the air gap length G2 and on the air gap face of the magnetic pole pieces 72, the concavities 76 gently tilting from the center of the magnetic poles to the end thereof are formed. An example of it is that the air gap length G1 is 0.5 mm, and the air gap length G2 is 1.5 mm, and the air gap length G3 is 0.3 mm.
Here, by referring to
The air gap length G1 is assumed as 0.5 mm, and the air gap length G2 is assumed as 1.5 mm, and between them, the change in the air gap length, as shown by a solid line of X1 in
Here, by referring to
Further, the iron loss WfeInv shown in the drawing is the calculation result of the permanent magnet rotating electric machine having the structure of this embodiment shown in
As a shape of the concavities 76, in any of the lines X1, X2, and X3 shown in
Further, in this embodiment, the air gap length G3 of the auxiliary salient poles 71 is made smaller than the air gap lengths G1 and G2 of the magnetic pole pieces 72, thus the torque producing ratio of the auxiliary salient poles 71 not affecting greatly the iron loss of the permanent magnets 6 is increased and while keeping the torque reduction little, the iron loss can be reduced.
As explained above, according to this embodiment, the effect of iron loss can be reduced more and a highly efficient permanent magnet rotating electric machine can be obtained.
Next, by referring to
In the constitution shown in
Although the arrangement of the permanent magnets, that is, the constitution of the magnetic poles is different from that shown in
Since the permanent magnets are arranged in such a block shape, compared with the arrangement in the V shape shown in
On the other hand, when the permanent magnets are arranged in the block shape, compared with the arrangement in the V shape, the magnetic flux density of the magnets on the air gap face side is reduced, so that in this respect, the torque is slightly reduced.
As described above, also by this embodiment, the effect of the iron loss can be reduced more and a highly efficient permanent magnet rotating electric machine can be obtained.
Next, by referring to
In this embodiment, on the outer peripheral part of the magnetic pole pieces 72 of the rotor 3 of the permanent magnet rotating electric machine 1, at the position of θ4 from the center of the magnetic poles, concavities 77 are installed. The other constitution is the same as that shown in
Next, by referring to
Further, the torque ripple value Y1 shown in
The torque ripple Y2 when the slots (the concavities 77) are not arranged, is 20 Nm when the number of slots per pole and per phase is 2. On the other hand, when the position of the concavities 77 is within the range from an electrical angle θa1 of 15° to 45° from the central position of the magnetic poles, the torque ripple can be reduced compared with a case of no concavities formed.
Further, the torque ripple Y1 when the slots (the concavities 77) are not arranged is 54 Nm when the number of slots per pole and per phase is 1. On the other hand, when the position of the concavities 77 is within the range from an electrical angle θa2 of 20° to 30° from the central position of the magnetic poles, the torque ripple can be reduced compared with a case of no concavities formed.
As described above, according to this embodiment, the torque ripple of the permanent magnet rotating electric machine can be reduced.
Further, for example, in Japanese Patent Application 8-251846 and Japanese Patent Application 2002-171730, an embedding type magnet rotor in which slots are arranged on both sides of magnetic pole pieces are disclosed. However, in the embedding type magnet rotor described in Japanese Patent Application 8-251846, the slots arranged on the rotor surface are different in the slot shape and slot position from those of this embodiment and are formed for magnetic flux leakage prevention between the magnetic pole pieces and the auxiliary salient poles but not for iron loss prevention and torque ripple reduction. Further, in the embedding type magnet rotor described in Japanese Patent Application 2002-171730, the slots are different in the slot shape and slot position from those of this embodiment and are intended to interrupt the magnetic flux by the reaction of the armature but are not intended to reduce the iron loss and torque ripple.
Next, by referring to
In the drawing, the permanent magnet rotating electric machine 1 is a one described in any of the aforementioned embodiments. A frame 100 of the electric car is supported by 4 wheels 110., 112, 114, and 116. The electric car is driven by the front wheels, so that the permanent magnet rotating electric machine 1 is directly attached to a front axle 154. The control torque of the permanent magnet rotating electric machine 120 is controlled by a controller 130. As a power source of the controller 130, a battery 140 is installed, and power is supplied to the permanent magnet rotating electric machine 1 from the battery 140 via the controller 130, and the permanent magnet rotating electric machine 1 is driven, and the wheels 110 and 114 are rotated. The rotation of a handle 150 is transferred to the two wheels 110 and 114 via a transfer mechanism composed of a steering gear 152, a tie rod, and a knuckle arm and the angle of the wheels is changed.
Further, in this embodiment, a case that the front wheels 110 and 114 are driven to rotate by the permanent magnet rotating electric machine 1 is described. However, the rear wheels 112 and 116 may be driven to rotate.
When power-running an electric vehicle (at the time of starting, traveling, acceleration, etc.), the front wheels 110 and 114 are driven by the motor of the permanent magnet rotating electric machine 1. The voltage of the battery 140 is supplied to the permanent magnet rotating electric machine 1 via the controller 130 and the permanent magnet rotating electric machine 1 is driven and generates rotation output. By doing this, the front wheels 110 and 114 are driven to rotate.
When regenerating the electric vehicle (at the time of stepping on the brake, easing up on the accelerator, or stopping on the accelerator), the rotation output of the front wheels 110 and 114 is transferred to the permanent magnet rotating electric machine 1 via the front axle 154 and the permanent magnet rotating electric machine 1 is driven to rotate. By doing this, the permanent magnet rotating electric machine 1 operates as a generator. By this operation, in the stator windings of the permanent magnet rotating electric machine 1, 3-phase AC power is generated. The generated 3-phase AC power is converted to predetermined DC power by an inverter and is charged in the battery 140.
Further, in the above description, it is explained that the permanent magnet rotating electric machine is used to drive the wheels of an electric car. However, even if the machine is applied to a hybrid electric car having a hybrid drive mechanism by an engine and a motor or the so-called engine start device arranged between an engine and a drive mechanism for starting the engine and generating power, high efficiency and low noise of the drive portion of the hybrid electric car can be realized by the same effect.
As explained above, according to this embodiment, when the permanent magnet rotating electric machine of low iron loss and low torque ripple of the present invention is loaded in an electric car, an electric car characterized by little iron loss at a high speed, low fuel expenses, low vibration, and low noise can be obtained by a simple constitution.
