  • Publication number: 20230223827
    Abstract: A motor core assembly and a manufacturing method for the motor core assembly include a permanent magnet inside a motor that may be recovered, in its original state without damage and at a low cost, from a motor to be disposed of together with a device when the device to which the motor is applied is disposed of in a state in which the permanent magnet wrapped with an injection part is inserted into a rotor core. Accordingly, the number of manufacturing processes and the cost may be reduced.

  • Publication number: 20220344082
    Abstract: Disclosed is a segmented magnet which may adjust the application direction of a heavy rare earth element for grain boundary diffusion depending on the magnetization direction of the segmented magnet so as to simplify the manufacturing process of the segmented magnet while reducing eddy current loss, and a method for manufacturing the same. The method includes preparing a plurality of permanent magnet parent bodies having a constant magnetization direction, diffusing a diffusion material into the prepared permanent magnet parent bodies via a pair of planes thereof opposite each other and parallel to the magnetization direction along grain boundaries so as to form a pair of diffusing surfaces, preparing a permanent magnet assembly by stacking the permanent magnet parent bodies in a line such that the diffusing surfaces thereof face each other, and segmenting the permanent magnet assembly into a plurality of pieces along planes perpendicular to the magnetization direction.

  • Patent number: 11011960
    Abstract: A wound rotor motor is provided, in which a rotary shaft is arranged in the vertical direction, to immerse lower coil portions of a stator and a rotor in cooling oil, thereby improving the cooling effect beyond that of a conventional configuration, in which lower coil portions are partially immersed, and consequently decreasing the capacity of an oil pump. A wound rotor motor is provided, in which a rotary shaft is arranged in the vertical direction and has therein a flow passage, through which cooling oil moves up from the region below the rotor and is sprayed to the region above the rotor by centrifugal force generated by rotation of the rotor, thereby enhancing the motor-cooling effect, decreasing the frictional loss of the rotor due to the cooling oil, and consequently improving the operational efficiency of the motor.
