Dual rotor-type motor having improved stator structure, and compressor comprising same
A dual rotor-type motor includes a stator having a coil wound therearound, an outer rotor, and an inner rotor. The stator includes inner teeth facing the inner rotor, and outer teeth facing the outer rotor, and the inner teeth are misaligned in a rotating direction by as much as an angle with respect to the outer teeth, which may enable the reduction of a torque ripple to a satisfying level, even without having to change the design of the stator structure into a complicated form.
1. A dual rotor-type motor comprising:
a stator;
a coil wound around the stator;
an outer rotor that faces an outer wheel of the stator, the outer rotor comprising a plurality of outer permanent magnets that are disposed on an inner circumferential surface of the outer rotor and arranged along a circumferential direction; and
an inner rotor that faces an inner wheel of the stator, the inner rotor comprising a plurality of inner permanent magnets that are disposed on an outer circumferential surface of the inner rotor and arranged along the circumferential direction,
wherein the stator comprises:
outer side teeth that face the outer rotor, and
inner side teeth that face the inner rotor and are misaligned with respect to the outer side teeth by a preset angle in the circumferential direction, and
wherein the preset angle is in a range greater than or equal to −2° and less than 0° with respect to the outer side teeth, or in a range greater than 0° and less than or equal to 4° with respect to the outer side teeth.
2. The dual rotor-type motor of claim 1 , wherein the plurality of outer permanent magnets are configured to generate a first magnetic flux passing through at least a portion of the stator,
wherein the plurality of inner permanent magnets are configured to generate a second magnetic flux passing through at least the portion of the stator and interfering with the first magnetic flux, and
wherein the stator is configured to, based on misalignment between the inner side teeth and the outer side teeth, reduce a torque ripple of the dual rotor-type motor.
3. The dual rotor-type motor of claim 1 , wherein a number of the plurality of outer permanent magnets is equal to a number of the plurality of inner permanent magnets, and
wherein each of the plurality of outer permanent magnets and each of the plurality of inner permanent magnets extend radially opposite directions.
4. The dual rotor-type motor of claim 1 , wherein the plurality of outer permanent magnets are arranged to have N-poles and S-poles alternately along the circumferential direction.
5. The dual rotor-type motor of claim 1 , wherein the plurality of inner permanent magnets are arranged to have N-poles and S-poles alternately along the circumferential direction.
