  • Patent number: 11855489
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a rotor assembly and a consequent-pole motor, and the rotor assembly includes an iron core and a plurality of permanent magnets. The iron core is provided with a plurality of mounting grooves for accommodating permanent magnets distributed along a circumferential direction of the iron core. One side of each of the mounting grooves adjacent to an end of an outer edge of the iron core is provided with a second air slot which is located in a consequent-pole region. The second air slot is communicated with the mounting groove. The second air slot can, on one hand, prevent magnetic lines emitted from the permanent magnet from short-circuiting through an end of the permanent magnet, so as to decrease the magnetic flux leakage, and on the other hand, adjust an orientation of the magnetic lines in the consequent-pole region, so as to weaken torque fluctuation.

  • Publication number: 20210104924
    Abstract: A consequent-pole motor comprises a rotor and a stator sleeved outside the rotor. The rotor comprises a plurality of permanent magnetic poles evenly spaced along a circumferential direction of the rotor. A plurality of stator teeth is disposed on an inner periphery of the stator along a circumferential direction of the inner periphery. A permanent magnetic pole of the rotor comprises a first permanent magnet mounting groove and a second permanent magnet mounting groove disposed sequentially from outside to inside along a radial direction of the rotor. A first layer permanent magnet is disposed in the first permanent magnet mounting groove, and a second layer permanent magnet is disposed in the second permanent magnet mounting groove. According to the motor, permanent magnets distributed in multiple layers are used, so that the magnetic resistance torque of the motor can be improved, which may increase reluctance torque, thereby increasing electromagnetic torque.
