Specification

Description:FIELD OF THE INVENTION
[0001] The present invention relates to the domain of electric machines, more specifically, the present invention is related to a spider and stator of a motor.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
[0002] An electrical machine generally includes motors and generators. Typically, the electrical machine includes electrical members, such as a rotating part known as rotor and a stationary part known as stator. As is well known, such electrical machines operate on the principle of electromagnetism. During operation of the electrical machine as a motor, a magnetic field provided in the stator interacts with a magnetic field provided in the rotor. The interaction of the magnetic fields causes generation of an electromagnetic force, which further causes rotation of the rotor. On the other hand, during the operation of the electrical machine as a generator, torque is supplied to the rotor to rotate the rotor with reference to the stator, and magnetic field is provided on one or both the electrical members. Upon relative motion between the rotor and the stator, the magnetic field, that is, magnetic flux linked with the other electrical member varies with time and an electro-motive force or a voltage is generated in the stator, which can be either directly fed to a load or can be stored for future use by the load.

[0003] Typically, to generate the magnetic field in the electrical member, either permanent magnets are fixed to the electrical member, or the electrical member is wound with a conductor coupled to a power source to form an electromagnetic coil.

[0004] A rotary electrical machine, in the domain of vehicle such as but not limited to a hub motor, a range extender of an electric vehicle, or an electric motor, comprises a housing which supports a stator, a shaft which is integral with a rotor fitted inside the stator.

[0005] Generally, the stator, rotor and shaft are made up of same solid material such as steel or iron core or the like which are heavy and increases overall weight of the motor. Further, the rotor comprises silicon steel blocks and magnetic steel which are arranged in a circular mode, and the magnetic steel is clamped between every two adjacent silicon steel blocks, so that a complete rotor is formed. Furthermore, the silicon steel block, the magnetic steel, the silicon steel block and the inner edge of the hub body are bonded by glue. The requirement of adhesive bonding is high, the requirement on the production and processing environment of the hub motor is high, the adhesive is not firm, and the rotor is easy to fall off from the hub body. Also, in the said configuration there is always a chance of slippage between stator and rotor while torque transmission.

[0006] Generally, the hub motor of a vehicle consists of stator and rotor. Stator is a stationary part mounted on wheel axle and rotor is rotating part on which wheel rim is mounted. The stator consists of a spider which is fixed on shaft and on spider stator sheet stack is mounted and copper is winded on the steel stack on which flux is generated. In case of automobiles, the shaft is mounted on a swing arm of the vehicle. Magnets are pasted on the inner surface of the rotor and rotor is welded to the wheel rim. Further, in the conventional design a single sheet is wounded into 360 degrees (n number of turns) to make the stator and stator sheets are stacked together by means of riveting or welding and then they are placed on spider with interference fit. However, if there is a welding between sheets, then before assembling them on spider the welding projections are machined and removed. Accordingly, the load acting on the stack during interference fit is high and single sheet will plastically deform for such high loads. Hence stator sheets should be stacked together before press fit as required for the essential operation of the motor.

[0007] In a motor torque transmission is achieved through the interference fit between spider and stator. Further, tangential forces will be acting on stator teeth at torque transmission which might result in stator slipping from spider. Further, during high Revolutions Per Minute (RPM’s) there is a high chance that the stator might slip laterally. Accordingly, high interference fit is required to ensure that the stator and spider act as one part in case of torque transmission. However, the challenge is due to high interference fit the stator and sheets are plastically deformed while pressing which results in relative motion between the spider and stator while torque transmission. This slip will distort hall sensor signal. This distortion will cause error in hall signal and controller will stop supplying power to motor resulting in motor stoppage.

[0008] In light of the aforesaid problem available in the art there is a need to arrest relative motion between stator and spider during torque transmission to ensure smooth running of the vehicle. Further, there is also a need to produce a motor which is light in weight in comparison to the convention motor available in the art.

[0009] The above information disclosed in this background section is only for enhancement of understanding of the background of the disclosure and therefore it may contain information that does not form the prior art that is already known in this country to a person of ordinary skill in the art.

[00042] With the initiation of electric vehicles and electric vehicles, there is a growing interest in an automotive industry to develop electrical machines which are light in weight, utilize less space and are efficient in operation. Therefore, the direction of innovation in designing electrical machines is to develop electrical machines which have low losses, lighter in weight and compact size for a given power rating, or for a given size, power rating should be more than the present rating. However, in general, close packaging of components in compact machines leads to greater electrical and magnetic interactions between the components and may lead to high core losses in case of electrical machines using permanent magnets.

[00043] The present invention is about creating an interlock between a stator and a spider which will prevent relative motion between two parts during high torque transmission.

[00044] With reference to figure 1, in which a spider (100) of a motor (500) is shown, the spider (100) comprising a hollow opening (106) at the centre for accommodating a shaft (502), as shown in figure 5. The spider (100) is in the form of a hollow cylinder (112) such that an inner wall (102) of the spider (100) is facing towards the hollow opening (106) of the spider (100) and an outer wall (104) is facing opposite to the inner wall (102). Further, the spider (100) also comprises a perforated circular disc (110) and at least one protrusion (108) facing towards the hollow opening (106) of the spider (100). The at least one protrusion (108) is disposed over the inner wall (102) of the spider (100). The perforated circular disc (110) is placed inside the hollow cylinder of the spider (100). The hollow opening (106) being disposed at the centre of the perforated circular disc (110). Furthermore, the spider (100) also comprises a circular cover plate (504), as shown in figure 5, which is comprises at least one opening to lock all the plurality of stator sheets (204) which are placed over the spider (100). The position of the hollow opening (106) on the circular cover plate (504) is in such a way that the same is in parallel to the at least one protrusion (108) placed over the inner wall (102) of the spider (100).

[00045] With reference to figure 2, in which a stator (200) of the motor (500) is shown which is comprising plurality of stator sheet (204). The plurality of stator sheets (204) is assembled on top of each other within the spider (100). The stator (200) takes a form of hollow tube. Each stator sheet of the plurality of stator sheets (204) as shown in figure 4 comprising an inner circumference (406) which is facing inside the hollow tube (or facing centre of the corresponding stator sheet (400) of the plurality of stator sheet (204)) and an outer circumference (408) which is facing outside the hollow tube (or facing opposite to the inner circumference (202) of the stator (200)).

[00046] The stator (200) also comprising an inner circumference (202) which is facing inside the hollow tube (or facing centre of the stator (400)) and an outer circumference (210) which is facing outside the hollow tube (or facing opposite to the inner circumference (202) of the stator (200)). The outer circumference (210) of the stator (200) comprises copper windings and magnet. Further, the outer circumference (210) of the stator (200) will have magnet with air gap (206) of 0.25mm to 0.75mm and plurality of teeth.

[00047] Each stator sheet (400) of the plurality of stator sheets (204) also comprising at least one hollow hump (404). The at least one hollow hump (404) is disposed on the inner circumference (406) of each stator sheet of the plurality of stator sheets (204). Further, the plurality of stator sheets (204) being coaxially stacked over one another to form the stator (200). Further, the plurality of stator sheets (204) is coaxially aligned over one another such that the at least one hollow hump (404) of plurality of stator sheets (204) coaxially aligns with each other to form at least one hollow rail (208). Furthermore, the at least one hollow rail (208) is configured to receive at least one fastener (302) to detachably attach the plurality of stator sheets (204) to form an interlock. The interlocks are provided to increase robustness / smoothness of torque transmission. The interlocks will also prevent tangential slippage between the stator (200) and a rotor while torque transmission. Accordingly, the spider (100) and the stator (200) can be of transition fit.

[00048] The stator (200) also comprises one or more hollow rail (208) on the inner circumference (202). The one or more hollow rail (208) may be equivalent to length of the inner circumference (202) of the hollow tube. In one of the embodiments, one or more hollow rail (208) may be of partial length of the inner circumference (202) of the hollow tube. Further, the stator (200) also comprises as outer surface (210), the outer surface (210) is placed opposite to the inner circumference (202).

[00049] In the stator (200), the one or more hollow rail (208) is placed uniformly over the inner circumference (202) such that it will couple with the at least one protrusion (108) placed over the inner wall (102) of the spider (100).

[00050] With reference to figure 3, in which an interlocking of the spider (100) and the stator (200) is shown. More specifically, figure 3 is reflecting how spider (100) as shown in figure 1 will interconnect with the stator (200) as shown in figure 2. Accordingly, at least one protrusion (108) placed over the inner wall (102) of the spider (100) will slide over the corresponding one or more hollow rail (208) placed over the inner circumference (202) of the stator (200) to form the interlocking connection.

[00051] In one of the embodiments of the present application, a circular cover plate (504) comprising at least one opening for the at least one fastener (302) to lock the plurality of stator sheets (204) is placed over the spider (100). Further, the circular cover plate (504) is placed over the outer most stator sheet of the of the plurality of stator sheets (204) such that the same is visible from the outer environment and will protect the plurality of stator sheets (204) from the external factors such as but not limited to water, dirt. Furthermore, the at least one opening is placed parallelly to the at least one protrusion (108). In this way, the locking mechanism will improve, and the chances of slippage will also decrease to the greater extent.

[00052] With reference to figure 4, in which one stator sheet (400) of the plurality of the stator sheets (204) is shown. Every stator sheet of the plurality of the stator sheets (204) is of same dimension, more specifically, every stator sheet of the plurality of the stator sheets (204) is of same size, radius, same material, same cut-outs or the like. The one stator sheet (400) of the plurality of stator sheets (204) is having an inner circumference (406) which is facing towards the centre of one stator sheet (400) of the plurality of stator sheets (204) and an outer circumference (408) which is facing opposite to the facing of the inner circumference (406). The stator sheet (400) also comprises one or more hall sensors (401, 402, 402) which are placed over the outer circumference (408) of the one stator sheet (400) of the plurality of stator sheets (204). Further, each stator sheet (400) is comprising at least one hump (404) kind of structure which is hollow from the inside. The at least one hollow hump (404) is placed on the periphery of the inner circumference (406) of each stator sheet of the plurality of stator sheets (204). The outer circumference (408) further, comprising copper winding, magnet, an air gap (206) and plurality of teeth. Furthermore, the air gap (206) is of 0.25mm to 0.75mm.

[00053] In one of the embodiments of the present application, the one or more hall sensors (401, 402, 402) are placed equidistantly over the outer circumference (210) of the stator (200).

[00054] The plurality of stator sheets (204) being coaxially stacked over one another to form the stator (200). Further, the at least one hollow hump (404) of the one stator sheet (400) of the plurality of stator sheets (204) being coaxially aligns with corresponding hollow hump (404) of the plurality of remaining stator sheets (204) to form at least one hollow rail (208). Furthermore, the at least one hollow rail (208) being configured to receive at least one fastener (302) to detachably attach plurality of stator sheets (204) to form the interlock of the motor (500). The at least one hollow rail (208) is placed uniformly along the inner circumference (406).

[00055] The at least one hollow hump (404) are also placed over one another coaxially to form the at least one hollow rail (208) of the stator (200) when seen from the top or bottom of the stator (200). The hollow opening of the at least one hollow rail (208) is fastened using mechanism such as rivet or the like to form the interlock. Accordingly, the plurality of stator sheets (204) in the stator (200) will remain in an order and will not move. Therefore, the interlocks will prevent tangential slippage between the stator (200) and rotor while torque transmission. The rivet is made up of material like soft steel or the like.

[00056] With reference to figure 5, in which the coupling of the spider (100) with the stator (200) is shown in a motor (500) along with the shaft (502) which is passing through the hollow opening (106) of the spider (100). Accordingly, when the at least one hollow rail (208) is connected to the corresponding at least one protrusion (108) of the spider (100), the spider (100) will couple to the stator (200) to form one single unit.

[00057] In one of the embodiments, the spider (100) and the stator (200) are made up of two different materials.. Further, the materials are chosen in such a way that the material which is chosen for the stator (200) (such as steel or the like) will always have a higher thermal expansion point in comparison to the material which is chosen for the spider (100) (such as aluminium or the like). The thermal expansion is the tendency of the material to change its shape, area, volume, and density in response to a change in temperature. Accordingly, when torque is higher, the stator (200) will carry higher current which will produce higher temperature so both the stator (200) and the spider (100) will expand at different rate. More specifically, the element made up of material with the higher thermal expansion point will expend less in comparison to the element made up of material with the less thermal expansion point. In the present invention the spider (100) will expand more in comparison to the stator (200). Therefore, in the present invention locking will improve with the increase in temperature which is not possible if both the interfacing materials of the stator (200) and the spider (100) is made up of same material. Therefore, slippage chances during higher torque will also reduce.

[00058] In one of the embodiments, the material which is used for the formation of the spider (100) is aluminium or the like which will further reduce the overall weight of the motor (500). This will also reduce the overall weight of the vehicle, if the motor (500) is used in that vehicle. Accordingly, range of the vehicle will increase. Further, the motor (500) of the present invention are easy to manufacture in comparison to the motors available in the art.

[00059] Generally, the motor covers are generally made up using a casting process, since we are making the spider (100) using light material such as but not limited to aluminium, we can manufacture the spider (100) as disclosed in the present application using same casting process. Accordingly, there is no need to go through a sheet process only which will further reduce the cost, time and expedite the process to manufacture the spider (100).

[00060] The stator (200) is provided with at least one hollow rail (208) and corresponding at least one protrusion (108) is provided on the spider (100) for coupling the spider (100) with each stator sheet of the plurality of stator sheets (204), same is shown in the motor (500) of figure 5. The interaction of the at least one hollow rail (208) and the at least one protrusion (108) is called as a coupling point. Further, the number of coupling points is provided to increase robustness / smoothness of torque transmission. These coupling points will prevent tangential slippage between the stator (200) and rotor while torque transmission. Hence the spider (100) and the stator (200) can be of transition fit.

[00061] To arrest lateral movement of the stator (200), at least one protrusion (108) facing towards the hollow opening (106) at the centre of the spider (100) is provided for 3600 in such a way during assembly, at least one hollow rail (208) of the stator (200) rests on at least one protrusion (108) of the spider (100). The same will also stop the lateral movement in the opposite direction. Since the at least one protrusion (108) is placed over the inner wall (102) of the spider (100), the same will slide over the corresponding one or more hollow rail (208) placed over the inner circumference (202) of the stator (200) to form the interlocking connection. This configuration will help in stacking the plurality of stator sheets (204) together, hence “n” number of individual stator sheet (400) can be stacked together to form the stator (200). This enables ease of scalability of the stator (200) for higher torque transmission. Further, raw material handling of individual stator sheet (400) is much simple than handling a single sheet which will be wounded into “n” number of turns. Since plurality of stator sheets (204) are fastened together there is no need for welding and machining of hence those operations can be eliminated.
