Background technology
[0002]
As a type of gear device, a magnetic gear that uses the attractive and repulsive forces of magnets to transmit torque and motion without contact, thereby avoiding problems such as wear, vibration, and noise caused by tooth contact. There is In the magnetic gear, two magnet rotors, inner and outer, are concentrically arranged, and a plurality of magnetic pole pieces, called pole pieces, are sandwiched between the magnet rotors and arranged at regular intervals in the circumferential direction. The magnetic flux of the magnets of the inner and outer rotors is modulated by the modulated magnetic poles, and the inner and outer rotors are synchronized with the modulated magnetic flux, respectively, to operate as a magnetic gear. do. Since all the magnets of the inner and outer rotors contribute to power transmission, the magnetic flux modulation type magnetic gear is said to have the advantage of higher torque density compared to other types of magnetic gears. Patent Documents 1 and 2 disclose magnetic flux modulation type magnetic gears.
[0003]
In the magnetic flux modulation type magnetic gear, the magnets on the inner diameter side rotor and the outer diameter side rotor magnets have different numbers of pole pairs. The modulation magnetic pole (pole piece) has the role of modulating the number of magnetic poles between them, but if the thickness of the modulation magnetic pole is increased, the distance between the inner and outer magnets will increase and the torque transmission efficiency will decrease. Therefore, there is a restriction on the thickness dimension of the modulating magnetic pole. On the other hand, the modulating magnetic poles receive the magnetic force generated by the magnets of the inner and outer rotors, and require rigidity in order to prevent deformation in the radial direction against this magnetic force. In Patent Document 1, a non-magnetic reinforcing member is provided between a plurality of magnetic pole pieces in order to impart rigidity to the modulation magnetic pole. In Patent Document 2, an induced current (eddy current) generated in the modulating magnetic pole increases the loss, thereby suppressing a decrease in the torque transmission efficiency. An insulating member is provided between them to electrically insulate them, thereby suppressing the generation of an induced current.

[0005]
As described above, the modulated magnetic poles receive the magnetic force generated by the magnets of the inner and outer rotors, so if the rigidity is low, they may deform in the radial direction and interfere with the magnets of the inner and outer rotors. Therefore, for example, it is necessary to provide a reinforcing member having a high elastic modulus to the modulating magnetic pole to increase its rigidity. However, if the reinforcing member is made of metal having a high elastic modulus, eddy currents are generated in the modulating magnetic poles due to the magnetism of the metal, which increases loss and reduces torque transmission efficiency.

(Structure of Magnetic Gear Device)
FIG. 1 is a cross-sectional view of a magnetic gear device 10 according to one embodiment, and FIG. 2 is a partially enlarged view of FIG. The magnetic gear device 10 constitutes a magnetic flux modulation type magnetic gear, and includes an inner diameter side magnet field 12, an outer diameter side magnet field 14 arranged on the outer diameter side with respect to the inner diameter side magnet field 12, and an inner diameter side and a magnetic pole piece device 16 disposed between the magnet field 12 and the outer diameter magnet field 14 . The inner diameter magnet field 12, the outer diameter magnet field 14 and the magnetic pole piece arrangement 16 are arranged concentrically. The inner diameter side magnetic field 12 and the outer diameter side magnetic field 14 include magnets forming a plurality of magnetic pole pairs, and the number of magnetic pole pairs differs between them. By providing the magnetic pole piece device 16, the magnetic fluxes of the inner diameter side magnet field 12 and the outer diameter side magnet field 14 are modulated, and the inner diameter side magnet field 12 and the outer diameter side magnet field 14 are added to the modulated magnetic flux, respectively. By synchronizing, it operates as a magnetic gear device.
[0013]
In one embodiment, as shown in FIG. 1, the inner diameter side magnet field 12 includes a plurality of magnetic pole pairs 18a and 18b annularly arranged in the circumferential direction (direction of arrow a in FIG. 1), and the magnetic pole pairs 18a and 18b. and a holding member 20 for supporting 18b. The outer diameter side magnet field 14 is composed of a plurality of magnetic pole pairs 22a and 22b arranged annularly in the circumferential direction, and a holding member 24 for supporting the magnetic pole pairs 22a and 22b. The inner diameter side magnet field 12 and the outer diameter side magnet field 14 differ in the number of magnetic pole pairs. For example, although different from the number of magnetic pole pairs shown in FIG. , the outer magnet field 14 rotates at three times the speed of the inner magnet field 12 . In this way, the rotational speed can be varied in proportion to the number of pole pairs.
The holding members 20 and 24 can also function as a back yoke by being made of a magnetic material, for example.
[0014]
In one embodiment, the inner magnet field 12 and the outer magnet field 14 comprise permanent magnets, which form magnetic pole pairs. Forming the magnetic pole pairs with permanent magnets eliminates the need for windings and simplifies the configuration.
[0015]
(Configuration of magnetic pole piece device)
As shown in FIG. 2 , the magnetic pole piece device 16 is arranged between the inner diameter magnet field 12 and the outer diameter magnet field 14 of the magnetic gear device 10 . The magnetic pole piece assembly 16 includes an annular member 30 having a plurality of circumferentially spaced magnetic pole pieces 32 and a plurality of retaining members disposed between the magnetic pole pieces 32 . 34. A cover member 36 ( 36 a, 36 b ) is arranged on at least one of the outer peripheral surface and the inner peripheral surface of the annular member 30 . The holding member 34 is made of a non-magnetic material. The holding member 34 is made of, for example, a resin mold, fiber reinforced plastic (FRP) alone, or FRP impregnated with short carbon fibers, short glass fibers, or the like.
[0016]
In one embodiment, as shown in FIG. 2, a coil 26 is wound around the holding member 24 of the outer magnet field 14 . This coil 26 is configured to be wound around the outside of the pole pair 22a and 22b.
[0017]
3 and 4 show magnetic pole piece devices 16 (16A, 16B) according to some embodiments. In the magnetic pole piece device 16 (16A, 16B), the cover member 36 (36a, 36b) is made of a composite material obtained by impregnating a matrix resin 40 with continuous fibers 38 extending along the circumferential direction. The cover member 36 is arranged on the outer peripheral surface of the annular member 30, and the gap between the outer peripheral surface of the annular member 30 and the inner peripheral surface of the outer diameter side magnet field 14 is toc, and the outer peripheral side cover member 36 (36a) is When the thickness of is to, the following relational expression (1) is satisfied.
1/6・toc≦to≦1/2・toc (1)
On the other hand, the cover member 36 is arranged on the inner peripheral surface of the annular member 30, the gap between the inner peripheral surface of the annular member 30 and the outer peripheral surface of the inner magnetic field 12 is tic, and the inner peripheral cover member 36 (36b) is ) is ti, the following relational expression (2) is satisfied.
1/6 tic ≤ ti ≤ 1/2 tic (2)
[0018]
According to these embodiments, the radial thickness of the cover member 36 made of the composite material can be reduced. The spacing between magnets 14 does not increase. Therefore, it does not cause a decrease in torque transmission efficiency. In addition, since the radial rigidity of the magnetic pole piece device 16 can be increased by providing the cover member 36 , the annular member 30 can be secured under the magnetic field formed by the inner diameter side magnet field 12 and the outer diameter side magnet field 14 . Deformation in the radial direction can be suppressed. Therefore, the magnetic pole piece device 16 can be prevented from interfering with the inner diameter side magnet field 12 or the outer diameter side magnet field 14, and the deformation resistance of the magnetic pole piece device 16 is improved. The choice of materials used and other factors allow greater design flexibility for the magnetic pole piece device 16 . Furthermore, by satisfying the above relational expression (1) or (2), as will be described later, the amount of radial deformation of the cover member 36 can be suppressed, and the cover member 36 and the outer magnet field 14 or the inner magnet field Since a gap between the magnet 12 can be secured, the cover member 36 Even if some radial deformation is allowed, it is possible to prevent the cover member 36 from interfering with the magnet field.
For example, carbon fiber, glass fiber, aramid fiber, etc. can be used as the material of the continuous fiber 38 .
[0019]
In Patent Document 1, in order to increase the rigidity of the pole piece (corresponding to the magnetic pole piece device 16 of the present embodiment), as shown in FIG. is required, and the configuration of the reinforcing member is complicated. On the other hand, in the present embodiment, by providing the cover member 36, the resistance to deformation in the radial direction of the magnetic pole piece device 16 can be improved, so that the configuration of the magnetic pole piece device 16 can be simplified.
[0020]
In one embodiment, the cover member 36 is arranged all around in the circumferential direction. Thereby, the radial deformation of the magnetic pole piece device 16 can be effectively suppressed. On the other hand, the cover member 36 may not necessarily be arranged all around in the circumferential direction, and may be omitted in a partial area in the circumferential direction.
[0021]
In one embodiment, as shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, a cover member 36 (36a) is arranged at least on the outer peripheral surface of the annular member 30. As shown in FIGS. Since it is considered that the amount of radial deformation of the annular member 30 is greater on the outer peripheral surface side than on the inner peripheral surface side, radial deformation is suppressed by disposing the cover member 36 (36a) on the outer peripheral surface of the annular member 30. You can increase the effect.
[0022]
In one embodiment, cover members 36 (36a, 36b) are arranged on both the outer peripheral surface and the inner peripheral surface of the annular member 30, as shown in FIGS. By arranging the cover members 36 on both the outer peripheral surface and the inner peripheral surface of the annular member 30 in this manner, the effect of suppressing radial deformation of the annular member 30 can be further enhanced.
[0023]
In one embodiment, the cover member 36 is attached to at least one of the outer peripheral surface and the inner peripheral surface of the annular member 30 via an adhesive. As a result, the coupling force between the annular member 30 and the cover member 36 can be increased, so that the cover member 36 is separated from the annular member 30 in the magnetic field formation region of the inner diameter magnet field 12 and the outer diameter magnet field 14 . As a result, interference with the inner diameter side magnet field 12 or the outer diameter side magnet field 14 can be suppressed.
[0024]
In one embodiment, the continuous fibers 38 may be arranged in a direction inclined with respect to the circumferential direction of the cover member 36. Further, the continuous fibers 38 of the cover member 36 (36b) arranged on the inner peripheral surface of the annular member 30 and the continuous fibers 38 of the cover member 36 (36a) arranged on the outer peripheral surface of the annular member 30 are magnetic pole pieces. They may be arranged so as to incline in opposite directions relative to the circumferential or axial direction of the device 16 . As a result, it is possible to improve the resistance to deformation against forces applied from directions other than the circumferential direction.
[0025]
(Manufacturing method of magnetic pole piece device)
In the method of manufacturing the magnetic pole piece device 16 according to one embodiment, first, a plurality of rod-shaped magnetic pole pieces 32 and holding members 34 are alternately arranged to form the cylindrical annular member 30 . Next, an uncured matrix resin sheet containing continuous fibers 38 is attached to the inner or outer peripheral surface of the annular member 30 using an adhesive, and then the annular member 30 to which the matrix resin sheet is attached is fired. Firing by heating in a furnace. Alternatively, the annular member 30 may be divided into two parts, and the two parts may be separately put into a firing furnace and fired. This method has the advantage that the matrix resin sheet and the holding member 34 can be cured at the same time when the holding member 34 is composed of an uncured resin mold.
[0026]
In another embodiment, a cylindrical annular member 30 and a cured matrix resin sheet containing continuous fibers 38 are separately manufactured and then adhered to the inner or outer circumference of annular member 30 using an adhesive. Make sure it sticks to the surface. This method has the advantage of not requiring a large sintering furnace because the matrix resin sheet is sintered alone.
[0027]
A magnetic gear device including a magnetic pole piece device according to the present disclosure can be applied, for example, as a power transmission device such as an electric motor or a generator. Also, the electric motor and generator to which the magnetic gear according to the present disclosure is applied can be applied to, for example, a wind power generator, an electric ship propulsion device, and the like.
[0028]
Table 1 shown in FIG. 5 shows, as a comparative example, the result of analyzing the radial displacement of the magnetic pole piece device without the cover member 36 . A magnetic force is applied to the magnetic pole piece assembly by a magnet, and a plurality of non-magnetic bodies are targeted as the retaining member 34 . In the magnetic pole piece device, heat loss occurs due to eddy current under the formation of a magnetic field. Therefore, when using a resin as the holding member 34, a thermosetting material such as epoxy resin or nylon (registered trademark) that can withstand a temperature of 80° C. is used. The target was a flexible resin. The gap between the inner diameter side magnet field 12 or the outer diameter side magnet field 14 and the magnetic pole piece device 16 is usually 10 mm or less, and in the analysis example of Table 1 shown in FIG. 3.2 mm). As shown in FIG. 5, the elastic modulus of a normal resin results in interference with the inner diameter magnet field 12 or the outer diameter magnet field 14 . When short fiber FRP is used as the holding member 34, there is no interference, but the amount of radial deformation is 40% or more of the initial gap, which greatly exceeds 1 mm. When titanium is used as the holding member 34, the amount of deformation is small, but since it is a metal, loss due to eddy currents increases, and there is a risk that the torque transmission efficiency will decrease.
[0029]
Table 2 shown in FIG. 6 shows the result of analysis of radial displacement on the outer peripheral surface side or the inner peripheral surface side of the magnetic pole piece device 16 according to the embodiment. 7 and 8 are graphs in which the analysis results shown in Tables 1 and 2 are plotted, with the thickness of the cover member 36 on the horizontal axis and the amount of radial deformation or residual clearance on the vertical axis. 7 and 8, the amount of radial deformation and the amount of residual clearance when the thickness of the cover member 36 is "0 mm" are obtained by plotting the analysis results shown in Table 1 (when the cover member 36 is not provided). there is The gap toc or gap tic is about 3 mm (3.2 mm), which is the same as in the example of Table 1, and the holding member 34 is made of the same material as in the comparative example. Moreover, the cover member 36 is made of a composite material in which carbon fibers continuous in the circumferential direction are impregnated with a matrix resin. In the embodiment shown in FIG. 6, the amount of radial deformation exceeds 1 mm in some cases, but is generally less than 1 mm. In the case of fiber FRP, the amount of deformation is reduced to around 1/2. In this way, the amount of radial deformation can be suppressed to a desired amount of approximately 1 mm or less.
[0030]
From FIG. 8, it can be seen that the larger the thickness of the cover member 36, the smaller the residual gap amount. That is, it shows that the effect of suppressing the amount of radial deformation does not increase as the thickness of the cover member 36 increases. Therefore, there is an upper limit to the thickness of the cover member 36, and in the example of FIG. 8, it is desirable that the thickness to of the cover member 36 is 1.5 mm (the gap toc or 1/2 of the gap tic) or less. This is the basis for deriving the right sides of the above relations (1) and (2). On the other hand, when the thickness of the cover member 36 becomes smaller, the amount of residual clearance increases, but the amount of radial deformation increases, so the increase in the magnetic force of the inner diameter magnet field 12 or the outer diameter magnet field 14 cannot be ignored. Gone. Therefore, there is a lower limit for the thickness of the cover member 36 . From FIG. 7, when the short fiber FRP is used for the holding member 34, the thickness to of the cover member 36 should be 0.5 mm (the gap toc or 1/6 of the gap tic) in order to make the radial deformation amount 1 mm or less. It is necessary to do more than that. This is the basis for deriving the left sides of the above relations (1) and (2).
[0031]
Note that the embodiment shown in Table 2 of FIG. 6 includes a calculation example in the case where the cover member 36 is made of a resin having an elastic modulus of 3 GPa. The optimum values ​​for the thicknesses to or ti of are variable. Therefore, an appropriate value is selected within a range that satisfies the above relational expression (1) or (2). For example, in FIG. 7, when resin is used as the cover member 36, the thickness of the cover member 36 needs to be about 0.75 mm in order to suppress the amount of radial deformation to 1 mm or less. That is, the thickness to or ti of the cover member 36 needs to be 1/4 or more of the gap toc or tic.
