A variable frequency drive motor system and method with a single variable frequency drive controller controlling multiple synchronous reluctance motors in an open-loop mode using volts-per-Hertz control. Each motor includes a rotor including three or more curved, spaced-apart barrier slots extending longitudinally through each quadrant of the rotor. The rotor also includes a conductive cage including a plurality of conductive rotor bars contained within the barrier slots and also extending longitudinally through each quadrant, and conductive end rings located at opposite ends of the rotor and electrically connected to the respective ends of the rotor bars. The controller controls speed and torque by varying input frequency and voltage in an open-loop mode by adjusting the voltage magnitude of an inverter's output to each motor to match a required load torque in a volts-per-Hertz relationship. An operator interface allows for starting, stopping, adjusting, and otherwise controlling the operation of each motor.

Variable frequency drive synchronous reluctance motor system with volts-per-Hertz control

A motor includes a rotor and a stator, the rotor includes flux barriers. In a plane orthogonal to an axial direction, at least two flux barriers corresponding to each pole of the rotor are located entirely within an extending angle. A magnitude of the extending angle is determined by a number of poles of the rotor and phases of the motor. A center line of the extending angle is a q-axis of the rotor. A ratio between an area of the flux barrier entirely located within the extending angle and an area of all flux barriers corresponding to the pole is about ½ or more, and a ratio between an area of a radially innermost flux barrier entirely located within the extending angle and an area of a radially outermost flux barrier entirely located within the extending angle and a smaller one of the two areas is about 10% or less.

Rotor, motor, and electric product

A rotor includes a rotor core that is made of electromagnetic steel sheets rotating around a central axis and laminated in an axial direction, and that has multiple flux barriers penetrating the electromagnetic steel sheets along the axial direction. At least some of the multiple flux barriers are provided with a first penetrating portion and a second penetrating portion arranged in the radial direction, the first penetrating portion housing a magnet and the second penetrating portion housing a conductive non-magnetic conductor.

Rotor, synchronous reluctance motor, and rotor forming method

A rotor includes a stack of electromagnetic steel plates each including through-hole groups with through-holes extending through the respective electromagnetic steel plates. In each of the through-hole groups, at least one of the through-holes accommodates a magnet and at least a portion of the through-holes that does not accommodate any magnet is filled with an electrically conductive material. When the rotor is seen axially, at two circumferential sides of a magnetic flux passage that is adjacent to the magnet, a width of the magnetic flux passage adjacent a first side of the magnet is larger than a width of the magnetic flux passage near a second side of the magnet.

Rotor, motor, and drive device

An embodiment of the present invention provides a rotor and a motor having the rotor. By providing a plurality of flux barrier groups and slot groups at intervals in a circumferential direction of the rotor iron core, it is possible to flexibly arrange the numbers of the flux barrier groups and the slot groups so as to meet the requirements for the number of poles of different products. In addition, by flexibly adjusting the quantity ratio between the flux barrier groups and the slot groups and/or the quantity relationship between the flux barriers in the flux barrier group and the slots in the slot group, it is possible to meet the requirements for motor efficiency and starting capacity of different products. Further, since the processing jig of the rotor only requires processing of the structures of the flux barriers and the slots, the manufacturing cost can be reduced.

Rotor and motor having rotor

A synchronous reluctance motor includes a rotor and a stator surrounding the rotor. The rotator includes a rotatable shaft and magnetic flux barrier layers arranged radially. One of the magnetic flux barrier layers closest to the stator is filled with a conductor, and one of the magnetic flux barrier layers closest to the rotating shaft is a void.

Synchronous reluctance motor and electrical product

A motor includes a rotor including a rotating shaft extending along a center axis, a cylindrical rotor core provided outside the rotating shaft in a radial direction, and two discoid weight plates provided at two ends of the cylindrical rotor core in an axial direction, and a stator opposing the rotor in the radial direction. A radius of each weight plate is smaller than a radius of the rotor core, and a difference between the radius of the rotor core and the radius of each weight plate is larger than an air gap between an outside of the rotor core in the radial direction and an inside of the stator in the radial direction.

Motor, power unit, and bulldozer

Embodiments of the disclosure provide a rotor, a motor, and a driving apparatus. The rotor is defined by laminated electromagnetic steel plates. The electromagnetic steel plate includes a plurality of through hole groups running through the electromagnetic steel plate, and each through hole group includes a plurality of through holes. A central axis of a magnetic pole of the rotor is used as a d axis, and an axis that is 45 degrees from the d axis is used as a q axis, where an outer peripheral surface of the rotor that is between the d axis and the q axis is recessed radially inward relative to an outer peripheral surface of another portion of the rotor, so that the rotor is noncircular when observed in an axial direction.

Rotor, motor, and driving apparatus

A rotor is located around an outer periphery of a rotation shaft of a motor and rotates together with the rotation shaft. The rotor includes magnetic steel plates laminated in an axial direction and including a through-hole group passing therethrough in the axial direction. The through-hole group includes through-holes each including, as a central line, an imaginary line extending in the radial direction and having an arcuate shape extending from the central line to both sides and radially outward. The through-holes are arranged in the radial direction. Among the through-holes, a radius of curvature of an arcuate radially inner side surface of the radially innermost through-hole is the smallest, and/or a radius of curvature of an arcuate radially outer side surface of the radially outermost through-hole is the largest.

Rotor, motor including rotor, and power unit including motor

A motor includes a stator including wound multiphase coils and stator slots that accommodate the multiphase coils, and a rotor provided at an inner side of the stator. Poles are provided in a direction of rotation, and sets of flux barriers are provided on the rotor, each of the poles respectively corresponding to a set of the flux barriers. A ratio between a total number of the stator slots and a product of a total number of poles of the rotor and a phase number of the multiphase coils is a non-integer. With the structure of the motor, a torque ripple is reduced while an output torque is kept unchanged.
