Abstract

Various embodiments may include a rotor for a reluctance machine comprising: an essentially disc-shaped rotor body mounted on a rotor axis running through a rotor center point; and an alternating sequence of barrier regions and pole regions arrayed along a circumferential direction of the rotor body. Each barrier region includes a multiplicity of magnetic flux barriers spatially and materially separated without overlap. Within at least one barrier region, at least one magnetic flux barrier is arranged with a q axis and/or a figure axis rotated with respect to a q axis and/or figure axis of another magnetic flux barrier of the same barrier region.

Claims (39)

1. A rotor for a reluctance machine, the rotor comprising:

a substantially disc-shaped rotor body mounted on a rotor axis running through a rotor center point; and

an alternating sequence of barrier regions and pole regions arrayed along a circumferential direction of the rotor body;

wherein each barrier region includes a multiplicity of magnetic flux barriers spatially and materially separated without overlap;

within at least one barrier region, at least one magnetic flux barrier is arranged with a q axis rotated with respect to a q axis of another magnetic flux barrier of the same barrier region;

wherein, with the exception of a rotation about the rotor axis, different barrier regions are identical to one another or are mirror-symmetrical with respect to an axis of the barrier regions; and

wherein rotational angles and/or directions of rotation of q axes of one or more magnetic flux barriers with respect to q axes of other magnetic flux barriers of the same barrier region are selected in such a way that during the operation of the rotor a minimum torque ripple occurs in comparison with a rotor with a configuration without rotation of magnetic flux barriers;

wherein each respective barrier region includes three magnetic flux barriers spatially and materially separated without overlap;

wherein two magnetic flux barriers of each respective barrier region are arranged with their q axes corresponding directly to a q axis of the rotor; and

a q axis of a third magnetic flux barrier of each respective barrier region is rotated with respect to the q axis of the rotor.

2. The rotor as claimed in claim 1 , comprising an even number of barrier regions.

3. A reluctance machine comprising:

a stator for generating a primary magnetic field and/or for inducing a secondary magnetic field; and

a rotor mounted so as to be rotatable about a rotor axis and surrounded by the stator;

the rotor comprising:

a substantially disc-shaped rotor body mounted on the rotor axis running through a rotor center point; and

an alternating sequence of barrier regions and pole regions arrayed along a circumferential direction of the rotor body;

wherein each barrier region includes a multiplicity of magnetic flux barriers spatially and materially separated without overlap;

within at least one barrier region, at least one magnetic flux barrier is arranged with a q axis rotated with respect to a q axis of another magnetic flux barrier of the same barrier region;

wherein, with the exception of a rotation about the rotor axis, different barrier regions are identical to one another or are mirror-symmetrical with respect to an axis of the barrier regions; and

wherein rotational angles and/or directions of rotation of q axes of one or more magnetic flux barriers with respect to q axes of other magnetic flux barriers of the same barrier region are selected in such a way that during the operation of the rotor a minimum torque ripple occurs in comparison with a rotor with a configuration without rotation of magnetic flux barriers;

wherein each respective barrier region includes three magnetic flux barriers spatially and materially separated without overlap;

wherein two magnetic flux barriers of each respective barrier region are arranged with their q axes corresponding directly to a q axis of the rotor; and

a q axis of a third magnetic flux barrier of each respective barrier region is rotated with respect to the q axis of the rotor.

4. The reluctance machine as claimed in claim 3 , wherein the stator comprises a concentrated winding.

5. The reluctance machine as claimed in claim 3 , comprising at least one of a motor and a generator.

6. A vehicle comprising: a drive with a reluctance machine comprising:

a stator for generating a primary magnetic field and/or for inducing a secondary magnetic field; and

a rotor mounted so as to be rotatable about a rotor axis and surrounded by the stator;

the rotor comprising:

a substantially disc-shaped rotor body mounted on the rotor axis running through a rotor center point; and

an alternating sequence of barrier regions and pole regions arrayed along a circumferential direction of the rotor body;

wherein each barrier region includes a multiplicity of magnetic flux barriers spatially and materially separated without overlap;

within at least one barrier region, at least one magnetic flux barrier is arranged with a q axis rotated with respect to a q axis of another magnetic flux barrier of the same barrier region;

wherein, with the exception of a rotation about the rotor axis, different barrier regions are identical to one another or are mirror-symmetrical with respect to an axis of the barrier regions; and

wherein rotational angles and/or directions of rotation of q axes of one or more magnetic flux barriers with respect to q axes of other magnetic flux barriers of the same barrier region are selected in such a way that during the operation of the rotor a minimum torque ripple occurs in comparison with a rotor with a configuration without rotation of magnetic flux barriers;

wherein each respective barrier region includes three magnetic flux barriers spatially and materially separated without overlap;

wherein two magnetic flux barriers of each respective barrier region are arranged with their q axes corresponding directly to a q axis of the rotor; and

a q axis of a third magnetic flux barrier of each respective barrier region is rotated with respect to the q axis of the rotor.
