Arrangement for attaching a magnet to a rotor, and a rotor
View Patent ↗In an arrangement in accordance with the invention for attaching a permanent magnet to an electrical machine's rotor, the rotor comprises at least two magnetic poles, and there is a pole gap between two magnetic poles. Permanent magnets are installable on the surface of the magnetic core. A pole piece is installable on the permanent magnet side facing the air gap. There is fixing means on the sides of the pole piece facing the pole gap for attaching the pole piece to the rotor using the locking parts, and the fixing means are connected to the pole piece through an articulated joint.
1. An arrangement for attaching a permanent magnet to a rotor of an electrical machine comprising:
a rotor having at least two magnetic poles, and between the two magnetic poles is a pole gap;
a permanent magnet installable on a surface of a magnetic core;
a pole piece installable on a side of the permanent magnet facing an air gap; and
an elongated strip on each side of the pole piece facing the pole gap for attaching the pole piece to the rotor using locking parts, and the elongated strip being connected to the pole piece through an articulated pivot connection, wherein said articulated pivot connection has a in that passes through the elongated strip and the pole piece.
2. An arrangement according to claim 1 , comprising a slot on side of the pole piece, the elongated strip being fittable in the slot.
3. An arrangement according to claim 1 , wherein the pole piece is assembled of sheets of different shapes.
4. An arrangement according to claim 3 , wherein the sheets are joined together so that parallel slots are formed on the sides of the pole piece.
5. An arrangement according to claim 1 , wherein the pole piece is made of solid iron.
6. An arrangement according to claim 1 , wherein a radial compressive force of the pole piece towards the permanent magnet is adjustable using the locking parts.
7. An arrangement according to claim 1 , wherein the elongated strip is made of non-magnetic material.
8. An arrangement according to claim 1 , wherein the locking part is attached to the pole gap.
9. An arrangement according to claim 1 , wherein the locking part is attached to an intermediate sheet attached to an end of a sheet pack sheets of the rotor.
10. An arrangement according to claim 1 , wherein the elongated strip is connected to the locking parts through another articulated pivot connection.
11. An arrangement according to claim 1 , wherein the elongated strip includes a hole for the pin at least at one end.
