  • Publication number: 20230361648
    Abstract: A tumbler-type vehicle-mounted flywheel energy storage device with five-degree-of-freedom magnetic suspension support for an electric vehicle is provided. A flywheel is formed into a bowl by a metal flywheel rotor and a composite material ring by interference fit. The metal flywheel rotor comprises an upper-section ring, a mid-section hollow hemisphere, and a lower-section ring. The composite material ring is closely fitted outside the upper-section ring to form a bowl-shaped bowl opening part. An annular axial thrust disc protrudes inward in a radial direction from an inner wall on a bottom end of the upper-section ring. An area above the axial thrust disc is a bowl opening empty slot layer, and an area below the axial thrust disc is a sphere empty slot layer and a bowl bottom empty slot layer in sequence, which form an inner cavity of the flywheel. A supporting frame is fitted in an inner stator.
