背景技術 Background art
[0002] 空気サイクル冷凍冷却システムは、 冷媒として空気を用いるため、 フロン やアンモニアガス等を用いる場合に比べてエネルギー効率が不足するが、 環 境保護の面では好ましい。 また、 冷凍倉庫等のように、 冷媒空気を直接に吹 き込むことができる施設では、 庫内ファンやデフロス卜の省略等によってト —タルコストを引下げられる可能性があり、 特許第 2 6 2 3 2 0 2号公報に は、 このような用途で空気サイクル冷凍冷却システムが提案されている。 [0002] The air cycle refrigeration cooling system uses air as a refrigerant, and thus is less energy efficient than using chlorofluorocarbon, ammonia gas, or the like, but is preferable in terms of environmental protection. Also, in facilities where refrigerant air can be blown directly, such as in a refrigerated warehouse, there is a possibility that the total cost may be reduced by omitting the internal fan and defroster, etc. Patent 2 6 2 3 Japanese Laid-Open Patent Publication No. 2000 proposes an air cycle refrigeration cooling system for such applications.
[0003] また、 _ 3 0 °C〜― 6 0 °Cのディ _プ■ コール領域では、 空気冷却の理論 効率は、 フロンやアンモニアガスと同等以上になることが知られている。 た だし、 上記空気冷却の理論効率を得ることは、 最適に設計された周辺装置が あって、 始めて成り立つとも述べられている。 周辺装置は、 圧縮機や膨張タ —ビン等である。 [0003] It is also known that the theoretical efficiency of air cooling is equal to or higher than that of chlorofluorocarbon and ammonia gas in the _30 ° C to -60 ° C deep region. However, it is said that the theoretical efficiency of the above air cooling can only be achieved with optimally designed peripherals. Peripheral devices include compressors and expansion turbines.
特許第 2 6 2 3 2 0 2号公報では、 圧縮機, 膨張タービンとしては、 コン プレッサ翼車および膨張タービン翼車を共通の主軸に取付けたタービンュニ ッ卜が用いられている。 In Japanese Patent No. 2 6 2 3 2 02, as a compressor and an expansion turbine, a turbine unit in which a compressor wheel and an expansion turbine wheel are attached to a common main shaft is used.
[0004] なお、 特開平 7— 9 1 7 6 0号公報では、 プロセスガスを処理するタ一ビ ン - コンプレッサとして、 主軸の一端にタービン翼車、 他端にコンプレッサ 翼車を取付け、 前記主軸を電磁石の電流で制御するジヤーナルぉよびスラス ト軸受で支承した磁気軸受式タービン■ コンプレッサが提案されている。 また、 特開平 8— 2 6 1 2 3 7公報では、 ガスタービンエンジンにおける 提案ではあるが、 主軸支持用の転がり軸受に作用するスラスト荷重が軸受寿 命の短縮を招くことを回避するため、 転がり軸受に作用するスラスト荷重を スラスト磁気軸受により低減することが提案されている。 [0004] In Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 7-9 1 7 60, as a turbine-compressor for processing a process gas, a turbine impeller is attached to one end of a main shaft, and a compressor impeller is attached to the other end. Magnetic bearing turbine compressors that are supported by journals and thrust bearings that control the current with electromagnet current have been proposed. Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 8-2 6 1 2 3 7 discloses a gas turbine engine. Although it is a proposal, it is proposed to reduce the thrust load acting on the rolling bearing with a thrust magnetic bearing in order to avoid the thrust load acting on the rolling bearing for supporting the spindle from shortening the bearing life. .
[0005] 上記のように、 空気サイクル冷凍冷却システムとして、 ディ _プ ' コール 領域で高効率となる空気冷却の理論効率を得るためには、 最適に設計された 圧縮機や膨張タ一ビンが必要となる。 [0005] As described above, as an air cycle refrigeration cooling system, in order to obtain the theoretical efficiency of air cooling that is highly efficient in the vacuum region, an optimally designed compressor and expansion turbine are required. Necessary.
圧縮機, 膨張タービンとしては、 上記のようにコンプレッサ翼車および膨 張タービン翼車を共通の主軸に取付けたタービンュニッ卜が用いられている 。 このタービンユニットは、 膨張タ一ビンの生じる動力によりコンプレッサ 翼車を駆動できることで空気サイクル冷凍機の効率を向上させている。 As the compressor and the expansion turbine, a turbine unit in which the compressor wheel and the expansion turbine wheel are attached to a common main shaft as described above is used. This turbine unit improves the efficiency of the air cycle refrigerator by driving the compressor wheel with the power generated by the expansion turbine.
[0006] しかし、 実用的な効率を得るためには、 各翼車とハウジングとの隙間を微 小に保つ必要がある。 この隙間の変動は、 安定した高速回転の妨げとなり効 率の低下を招く。 [0006] However, in order to obtain practical efficiency, it is necessary to keep the gap between each impeller and the housing small. This fluctuation in the gap hinders stable high-speed rotation and leads to a decrease in efficiency.
また、 コンプレッサ翼車やタービン翼車に作用する空気により、 主軸にス ラスト力が作用し、 主軸を支持する軸受にスラスト荷重が荷される。 空気サ ィクル冷凍冷却システムにおけるタービンュニッ卜の主軸の回転速度は、 1 分間に 8万〜 1 0万回転であり、 一般的な用途の軸受に比べて非常に高速と なる。 そのため、 上記のようなスラスト荷重は、 主軸を支持する軸受の長期 耐久性の低下、 寿命低下を招き、 空気サイクル冷凍冷却用タービンユニット の信頼性を低下させる。 このような軸受の長期耐久性の課題を解消しなくて は、 空気サイクル冷凍冷却用タービンユニットの実用化が難しい。 しかし、 上記特許文献 1に開示の技術は、 この高速回転下におけるスラスト荷重の負 荷に対する軸受の長期耐久性の低下については解決されるに至っていない。 In addition, air acting on the compressor wheel and turbine wheel causes a thrust force to act on the main shaft, and a thrust load is applied to the bearing that supports the main shaft. The rotational speed of the main shaft of the turbine unit in the air cycle refrigeration cooling system is 80,000 to 10,000,000 revolutions per minute, which is very high compared to the bearings for general applications. For this reason, the thrust load as described above reduces the long-term durability and life of the bearing supporting the main shaft, and reduces the reliability of the turbine unit for air cycle refrigeration cooling. It is difficult to put the air cycle refrigeration cooling turbine unit into practical use unless the long-term durability problem of such a bearing is solved. However, the technique disclosed in Patent Document 1 has not yet been solved with respect to a decrease in the long-term durability of the bearing against a thrust load under high-speed rotation.
[0007] 特開平 7 _ 9 1 7 6 0号公報の磁気軸受式タービン■ コンプレッサのよう に、 主軸を磁気軸受からなるジャーナル軸受およびスラスト軸受で支承した ものでは、 ジャーナル軸受にアキシアル方向の規制機能がない。 そのため、 スラスト軸受の制御の不安定要因等があると、 上記翼車とディフューザ間の 微小隙間を保って安定した高速回転を行うことが難しい。 磁気軸受の場合は 、 電源停止時における接触の問題もある。 [0007] Magnetic bearing type turbine disclosed in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 7_9 1 7 60 ■ If the main shaft is supported by a journal bearing consisting of a magnetic bearing and a thrust bearing, such as a compressor, the journal bearing is controlled in the axial direction. There is no. For this reason, if there is an instability factor in the control of the thrust bearing, it is difficult to perform stable high-speed rotation with a small gap between the impeller and the diffuser. For magnetic bearings There is also a problem of contact when the power is stopped.
[0008] そこで、 本発明者等は、 上記課題を解決するものとして、 図 1 1に示すよ うなモーター体型の磁気軸受装置を開発した。 このモーター体型の磁気軸受 装置は、 主軸 5 3の両端にコンプレッサ 4 6のコンプレッサ翼車 4 6 aおよ び膨張タービン 4 7のタービン翼車 4 7 aを取付けた空気サイクル冷凍冷却 用タービンュニッ卜において、 主軸 5 3のラジアル負荷を転がり軸受 5 5 , 5 6で、 アキシアル負荷を電磁石 5 7でそれぞれ支持すると共に、 主軸 5 3 に同軸に設けたモータ 6 8による駆動力とタービン翼車 4 7 aの駆動力とで コンプレッサ翼車 4 6 aを回転駆動するようにしたものである。 アキシアル 負荷を支持する電磁石 5 7は、 主軸 5 3に垂直かつ同軸に設けられたスラス ト板 5 3 aに非接触で対向するように配置され、 アキシアル方向の力を検出 するセンサ 5 8の出力に応じて磁気軸受用コントロ一ラ 5 9で制御される。 モータ 6 8はアキシアルギャップ型のものであって、 主軸 5 3に垂直かつ同 軸に設けた別のスラスト板 5 3 bにモータロータ 6 8 aを形成すると共に、 このモータロータ 6 8 aと軸方向に対向するようにモ一タステ一タ 6 8 bを 配置して構成される。 このモータ 6 8は、 電磁石 5 7とは独立にモータ用コ ントロ一ラ 6 9で制御される。 この場合、 モータ用コントローラ 6 9は、 図 1 2にタイミングチヤ一卜で示すように、 モータロータ 6 8 aの永久磁石 6 8 a aがモ一タステ一タ 6 8 bにおけるモータコイル 6 8 b aに差しかかる タイミングで、 モータコイル 6 8 b aへ電圧を印加することにより、 モータ 効率を上げるように制御する。 [0008] Therefore, the present inventors have developed a motor-body-type magnetic bearing device as shown in FIG. 11 as a solution to the above problems. This motor-type magnetic bearing device is used in an air cycle refrigeration cooling turbine unit in which a compressor impeller 4 6a of a compressor 4 6 and a turbine impeller 4 7a of an expansion turbine 4 7 are attached to both ends of a main shaft 53.

Depending on the control, it is controlled by the magnetic bearing controller 59. The motor 68 is of an axial gap type, and a motor rotor 6 8 a is formed on another thrust plate 53 b provided perpendicularly to the main shaft 53 and on the same axis, and the motor rotor 68 is formed in the axial direction. The motor stators 6 8 b are arranged so as to face each other. The motor 68 is controlled by a motor controller 69 independently of the electromagnet 57. In this case, the motor controller 69 is connected to the motor coil 6 8 ba in the motor stator 6 8 b by inserting the permanent magnet 6 8 aa of the motor rotor 6 8 a as shown in the timing chart of FIG. At this timing, a voltage is applied to the motor coil 68 ba to control the motor efficiency.
[0009] 上記構成のモータ一体型の磁気軸受装置によると、 主軸 5 3にかかるスラ ストカを電磁石 5 7で支持するため、 非接触でトルクの増大を抑えながら、 転がり軸受 5 5 , 5 6に作用するスラスト力を軽減することができる。 その 結果、 各翼車 4 6 a , 4 7 aとハウジング 4 6 b , 4 7 bとの微小隙間を一 定に保つことができ、 スラスト荷重の負荷に対する転がり軸受 5 5 , 5 6の 長期耐久性を向上させることができる。 [0009] According to the motor-integrated magnetic bearing device having the above-described configuration, the thruster applied to the main shaft 53 is supported by the electromagnet 57. The acting thrust force can be reduced. As a result, the small gap between each impeller 4 6 a, 4 7 a and the housing 4 6 b, 4 7 b can be kept constant, and the long-term durability of the rolling bearings 5 5, 5 6 against the thrust load Can be improved.
[0010] しかし、 上記構成のモータ一体型の磁気軸受装置において、 図 1 2のよう に、 モータロータ 6 8 aの永久磁石 6 8 a aの磁極切替り位置がモータステ —タ 6 8 bにおけるモータコイル 6 8 b aの中心に差しかかるタイミングで 、 モータコイル 6 8 b aへの電圧印加を開始するのでは、 モータコイルのィ ンダクタンスにより印加電圧に対し電流の立ち上がりに遅れが生じ、 最大ト ルク発生点である永久磁石の磁極切替り位置がモータコイル中心となる位置 でモータコィルの電流値が最大とならず、 必ずしも最適なモータ効率が得ら れないという問題がある。 However, in the motor-integrated magnetic bearing device configured as described above, as shown in FIG. At the timing when the magnetic pole switching position of the permanent magnet 6 8 aa of the motor rotor 6 8 a approaches the center of the motor coil 6 8 ba in the motor stator 6 8 b, voltage application to the motor coil 6 8 ba is started. In this case, the current rise of the current is delayed with respect to the applied voltage due to the inductance of the motor coil. In other words, the optimum motor efficiency cannot always be obtained.

[0012] この発明のモーター体型の磁気軸受装置は、 転がり軸受と磁気軸受を併用 し、 転がり軸受がラジアル負荷を支持し、 磁気軸受がアキシアル負荷と軸受 予圧のどちらか一方または両方を支持し、 前記磁気軸受を構成する電磁石は 主軸に設けられた強磁性体からなるフランジ状のスラスト板に非接触で対向 するように、 スピンドルハウジングに取付けられており、 アキシアルギヤッ プモータのモータロータが、 前記スラスト板とこのスラスト板に周方向に等 ピッチで設けられた複数個の永久磁石とで構成され、 前記モータロータと対 向してモータコイルを有するモ一タステ一タが前記スピンドルハウジングに 設置されたモータ一体型の磁気軸受装置であって、 前記モータロータと前記 モータステータ間の角度位相を検出する位置センサと、 モータロータの設定 された、 または検出された回転数に応じ、 モータコイルへの電圧印加のタイ ミングを決定して、 前記モータロータの磁石がモータコイルを通過する毎に モータコイルへ電圧を印加するモータ駆動電流位相調整手段とを有し、 前記モータ駆動電流位相調整手段は、 モータロータが前記回転数で回転する 状態で、 前記位置センサと、 モータロータの回転速度を検出する速度センサ と、 前記モータコイルに流れる電流を検出する電流センサのうち少なくとも 位置センサに基づく所定の処理により、 前記電圧印加の開始のタイミングを 決定するものとしている。 [0012] A motor-type magnetic bearing device of the present invention uses a rolling bearing and a magnetic bearing in combination, the rolling bearing supports a radial load, the magnetic bearing supports one or both of an axial load and a bearing preload, The electromagnet constituting the magnetic bearing is attached to the spindle housing so as to face the flange-shaped thrust plate made of a ferromagnetic material provided on the main shaft in a non-contact manner, and the motor rotor of the axial gear motor is connected to the thrust gear. A motor in which a motor stator having a motor coil opposed to the motor rotor is installed in the spindle housing, and a plurality of permanent magnets provided on the thrust plate at an equal pitch in the circumferential direction. An integrated magnetic bearing device for detecting an angular phase between the motor rotor and the motor stator The timing of voltage application to the motor coil is determined in accordance with the set or detected rotation speed of the sensor and the motor rotor, and the voltage is applied to the motor coil every time the magnet of the motor rotor passes the motor coil.

The voltage application start timing is determined by a predetermined process based on at least a position sensor among current sensors that detect a current flowing in the coil. To be determined.
[0013] この構成によると、 転がり軸受と磁気軸受を併用し、 転がり軸受がラジア ル負荷を支持し、 磁気軸受がアキシアル負荷と軸受予圧のどちらか一方また は両方を支持するものであるため、 アキシアル方向の精度の良い支持が行え 、 また転がり軸受の長期耐久性が確保でき、 磁気軸受のみの支持の場合にお ける電源停止時の損傷も回避される。 また、 磁気軸受の電磁石に対向させる スラスト板にモータロータの永久磁石を設けたため、 軸受とモータとの部品 兼用によってコンパク ト化される。 [0013] According to this configuration, since the rolling bearing and the magnetic bearing are used in combination, the rolling bearing supports the radial load, and the magnetic bearing supports one or both of the axial load and the bearing preload. Axial direction precision support can be performed, long-term durability of the rolling bearing can be secured, and damage when the power supply is stopped in the case of supporting only the magnetic bearing can be avoided. In addition, since the permanent magnet of the motor rotor is provided on the thrust plate facing the electromagnet of the magnetic bearing, it is compacted by using both the bearing and the motor as parts.
[0014] また、 回転数に応じ、 モータコイルへの電圧印加のタイミングを決定して 、 所定の処理により、 前記モータロータの磁石がモータコイルを通過する毎 にモータコイルへ電圧を印加する開始タイミングを決定するようにしている ので、 モータの効率を向上させることができる。 [0014] In addition, the timing of voltage application to the motor coil is determined according to the number of rotations, and the start timing of applying the voltage to the motor coil every time the magnet of the motor rotor passes the motor coil by a predetermined process. Since it is determined, the efficiency of the motor can be improved.
[0015] この発明において、 好ましくは、 前記モータ駆動電流位相調整手段は、 モ ータロータが前記設定回転数で回転する状態で、 モータロータの永久磁石の 磁極切替り位置がモータステータの発生する磁束の中心を通過するときにモ ータコイルの電流値が最大となるように前記電流印加の開始のタイミングを 決定するものとしている。 前記設定回転数は、 例えば定格回転数とされる。 この構成によると、 モータロータの永久磁石の磁極切替り位置がモータス テータの発生する磁束の中心を通過するときに、 モータコイルの電流値が最 大となるように、 モータ駆動電流位相調整手段がモータコイルへの電圧印加 の開始タイミングを決定するようにしているので、 モータの効率を向上させ ることができる。 [0015] In the present invention, preferably, the motor drive current phase adjustment means is configured so that the magnetic pole switching position of the permanent magnet of the motor rotor is the center of the magnetic flux generated by the motor stator while the motor rotor rotates at the set rotational speed. The start timing of the current application is determined so that the current value of the motor coil becomes the maximum when passing the motor. The set rotational speed is, for example, a rated rotational speed. According to this configuration, the motor drive current phase adjusting means is arranged so that the motor coil current value is maximized when the magnetic pole switching position of the permanent magnet of the motor rotor passes through the center of the magnetic flux generated by the motor stator. Since the start timing of voltage application to the coil is determined, the efficiency of the motor can be improved.
[001 6] この発明において、 モータ駆動電流位相調整手段は、 複数の設定回転数に 切り換え可能とされ、 切り換えられた各設定回転数毎に、 モータロータの永 久磁石の磁極切替り位置がモータステータの発生する磁束の中心を通過する ときにモータコイルの電流値が最大となるように前記電流印加の開始のタイ ミングを決定可能なものとしても良い。 この構成の場合、 例えば複数の定格 回転数において、 モータ効率を向上させることができる。 [001 7] この発明において、 前記センサは、 前記モータロータの前記永久磁石の通 過を検出するものであり、 前記モータ駆動電流位相調整手段は、 前記センサ が前記永久磁石の通過を検出してからセンサ信号を出力するまで時間を設定 した出力早出し時間設定手段を有し、 上記センサ信号に応答して電流印加を 開始させるものとしても良い。 この構成の場合、 電子回路やその回路素子等 で構成される出力早出し時間設定手段で時間を設定するため、 センサ信号を 出力するまで時間の変更が容易であり、 複数の設定回転数に応じて、 それぞ れセンサ信号を出力するまで時間を設定し、 モータ効率を向上させることが 容易に行える。 [001 6] In this invention, the motor drive current phase adjusting means can be switched to a plurality of set rotational speeds, and the permanent magnet magnetic pole switching position of the motor rotor is set to the motor stator at each of the switched rotational speeds. It is also possible to be able to determine the start timing of the current application so that the current value of the motor coil is maximized when passing through the center of the magnetic flux generated. In the case of this configuration, for example, the motor efficiency can be improved at a plurality of rated rotational speeds. [001 7] In the present invention, the sensor detects passage of the permanent magnet of the motor rotor, and the motor drive current phase adjusting means detects the passage of the permanent magnet after the sensor detects passage of the permanent magnet. There may be provided an output rapid setting time setting means for setting a time until the sensor signal is output, and current application is started in response to the sensor signal. In this configuration, since the time is set by the output rapid setting time setting means composed of an electronic circuit and its circuit elements, it is easy to change the time until the sensor signal is output. Therefore, it is easy to improve the motor efficiency by setting the time until each sensor signal is output.
[0018] この発明において、 前記センサは、 前記モータロータの前記永久磁石の通 過を検出するものであり、 前記モータ駆動電流位相調整手段は、 前記センサ の出力するセンサ信号に応答して電流印加を開始させるものとし、 前記セン ザの取付位置を、 回転により、 モータロータの永久磁石の磁極切替り位置が モータステータの発生する磁束の中心を通過する位置に達するよりも手前で 前記永久磁石を検出する位置としても良い。 この構成の場合、 センサの取付 位置の調整だけで、 モータ効率の向上に対応でき、 構成が簡単である。 In the present invention, the sensor detects passage of the permanent magnet of the motor rotor, and the motor drive current phase adjusting means applies current in response to a sensor signal output from the sensor. The mounting position of the sensor is detected by rotation before the magnetic pole switching position of the permanent magnet of the motor rotor reaches the position passing through the center of the magnetic flux generated by the motor stator. It is good also as a position. In this configuration, the motor efficiency can be improved simply by adjusting the sensor mounting position, and the configuration is simple.
[001 9] この発明のモータ一体型の磁気軸受装置は、 コンプレッサ側翼車およびタ 一ビン側翼車が、 前記主軸に取付けられ、 モータ動力とタービン側翼車で発 生した動力のどちらか一方または両方により、 コンプレッサ側翼車を駆動さ せる、 圧縮膨張テ一ビンシステムに適用されたものであっても良い。 [001 9] In the motor-integrated magnetic bearing device of the present invention, the compressor side impeller and the turbine bin impeller are attached to the main shaft, and either or both of the motor power and the power generated by the turbine side impeller are provided. Thus, the compressor-side impeller may be driven and applied to a compression / expansion table bin system.
[0020] この発明において、 前記モータ駆動電流位相調整手段は、 前記電圧印加の タイミングを、 前記位置センサの出力と前記速度センサの出力と前記電流セ ンサの出力とによって所定の処理により決定するものとしている。 なお、 モ ータロータの回転速度を検出する手段として、 前記速度センサの代りに、 前 記位置センサの出力から計算して回転速度を求める手段を設けてもよい。 この構成によれば、 モータロータの磁石がモータコイルを通過する毎にモ ータコイルへ電圧を印加するモータ駆動電流位相調整手段の動作において、 モータロータとモータステ一タ間の角度位相を検出する位置センサの出力、 モータコイルに流れる電流を検出する電流センサの出力、 およびモータ口一 タの回転速度を検出する速度センサの出力を用いて、 所定の処理により前記 電圧印加のタイミングを決定するものとしている。 この種のモータ一体型の 磁気軸受装置を使用するシステム (例えば空気サイクル冷凍システム) は常 に一定の回転速度で運転されるが、 運転する回転速度が速くなるほどモータ の消費電力も大きくなる。 これに対し、 本構成によれば、 最小のモータ電流 で目標回転速度が得られる電圧印加タイミングとすることができるので、 モ —タの消費電力を最小に抑えることができる。 [0020] In the present invention, the motor drive current phase adjusting means determines the voltage application timing by a predetermined process based on the output of the position sensor, the output of the speed sensor, and the output of the current sensor. It is said. As means for detecting the rotational speed of the motor rotor, means for obtaining the rotational speed by calculating from the output of the position sensor may be provided instead of the speed sensor. According to this configuration, in the operation of the motor drive current phase adjusting means that applies a voltage to the motor coil each time the magnet of the motor rotor passes through the motor coil, the output of the position sensor that detects the angle phase between the motor rotor and the motor stator is output. , The voltage application timing is determined by a predetermined process using the output of a current sensor that detects the current flowing through the motor coil and the output of the speed sensor that detects the rotational speed of the motor port unit. A system using this type of motor-integrated magnetic bearing device (for example, an air cycle refrigeration system) is always operated at a constant rotational speed. However, the higher the rotational speed, the greater the power consumption of the motor. On the other hand, according to this configuration, the voltage application timing at which the target rotation speed can be obtained with the minimum motor current can be obtained, so that the motor power consumption can be minimized.
[0021 ] この発明において、 前記モータ駆動電流位相調整手段は、 設定したモータ ロータ回転数以下では、 モータコイルへの電圧印加のタイミングを、 電流セ ンサの出力を用いずに、 位置センサの出力によって決定するものとしても良 い。 In the present invention, the motor drive current phase adjusting means determines the timing of voltage application to the motor coil by using the output of the position sensor without using the output of the current sensor when the motor rotation speed is less than the set value. It is also good to decide.
回転速度が低い場合には、 モータコイルの電流の遅れの影響が小さいので 、 電流センサの出力を用いずに、 位置センサの出力だけを用いて電圧印加の タイミングを決定するほうが好ましい。 When the rotational speed is low, the influence of the current delay of the motor coil is small. Therefore, it is preferable to determine the timing of voltage application using only the output of the position sensor without using the output of the current sensor.

[0028] モータ 2 8は、 前記電磁石 1 7と並んで主軸 1 3に設けられたモータ口一 タ 2 8 aと、 このモータロータ 2 8 aに対し軸方向に対向するモータステ一 タ 2 8 bとでなるモータュニットである。 具体的には、 モータュニッ卜の一 部品を構成するモータロータ 2 8 aは、 主軸 1 3における前記各スラスト板 1 3 a , 1 3 bの電磁石 1 7が対向する側とは反対側の各片面に、 円周方向 に等ピッチで並ぶ永久磁石 2 8 a aを配置することで左右一対のものが構成 される。 このように軸方向に対向配置される永久磁石 2 8 a aの間では、 そ の磁極が互いに異極となるように設定される。 主軸 1 3には磁気特性の良好 な低炭素鋼を使用しているので、 主軸 1 3と一体構造となるように設けられ る前記各スラスト板 1 3 a , 1 3 bを、 永久磁石 2 8 a aのバックヨークお よび電磁石ターゲッ卜に兼用できる。 The motor 28 includes a motor port 2 8 a provided on the main shaft 13 side by side with the electromagnet 17, and a motor stator 2 8 b facing the motor rotor 2 8 a in the axial direction. This is a motor unit. Specifically, the motor rotor 28a constituting one part of the motor unit is provided on each side of the main shaft 13 opposite to the side on which the electromagnets 17 of the thrust plates 13a, 13b are opposed. By arranging the permanent magnets 28 aa arranged at equal pitches in the circumferential direction, a pair of left and right is configured. In this way, between the permanent magnets 28 aa opposed in the axial direction, Are set to be different from each other. Since the low-carbon steel with good magnetic properties is used for the main shaft 1 3, the thrust plates 1 3 a and 1 3 b provided so as to be integrated with the main shaft 1 3 are replaced with permanent magnets 2 8 Can also be used as aa back yoke and electromagnet target.

The motor coil 2 8 ba arranged without a core is installed in the spindle housing 14 so as to be configured. The motor 28 rotates the main shaft 13 by a mouth-lens force acting between the motor rotor 28a and the motor stator 28b. Thus, since this axial gap type motor 28 is a coreless motor, the negative rigidity due to the magnetic force pulling between the motor rotor 28a and the motor stator 28b is zero. ing.

The bearing preload spring 26 is assumed to have a smaller spring constant than the sensor preload spring 25.
[0035] 上記タービンュニット 5におけるモータ一体型の磁気軸受装置の力学モデ ルは簡単なパネ系で構成することができる。 すなわち、 このパネ系は、 軸受 1 5 , 1 6とこれら軸受の支持系 (センサ予圧ばね 2 5、 軸受予圧ばね 2 6 、 軸受ハウジング 2 3など) とで形成される合成パネと、 モータ部 (電磁石 1 7とモータ 2 8 ) で形成される合成パネとが並列となった構成である。 こ のバネ系において、 軸受 1 5 , 1 6とこれら軸受の支持系とで形成される合 成パネは、 変位した方向と逆の方向に変位量に比例して作用する剛性となる のに対し、 電磁石 1 7とモータ 2 8とで形成される合成パネは、 変位した方 向に変位量に比例して作用する負の剛性となる。 [0035] The dynamic model of the motor-integrated magnetic bearing device in the turbine unit 5 can be constituted by a simple panel system. That is, this panel system includes a synthetic panel formed by bearings 15 and 16 and a support system for these bearings (sensor preload spring 25, bearing preload spring 26, bearing housing 23, etc.), and a motor unit ( This is a configuration in which a synthetic panel formed by the electromagnet 17 and the motor 28) is arranged in parallel. In this spring system, the composite panel formed by the bearings 15 and 16 and the support system of these bearings has rigidity that acts in proportion to the amount of displacement in the direction opposite to the displaced direction. The composite panel formed by the electromagnet 17 and the motor 28 has a negative stiffness that acts in proportion to the amount of displacement in the direction of displacement.
このため、 上記した両合成パネの剛性の大小関係を、 For this reason, the magnitude relationship between the rigidity of both composite panels described above is
軸受等による合成パネの剛性値 <電磁石■モータによる合成パネの負の剛 性値… (1 ) とした場合、 機械システムの位相は 1 8 0 ° 遅れとなり不安定 な系となることから、 電磁石 1 7を制御する磁気軸受用コントローラ 1 9に おいて、 予め位相補償回路を付加する必要が生じ、 コントローラ 1 9の構成 が複雑なものになる。 Synthetic panel stiffness due to bearings, etc. <Electromagnet ■ Negative stiffness value of synthetic panel due to motor ... When (1) is assumed, the phase of the mechanical system is delayed by 180 °, resulting in an unstable system. In the magnetic bearing controller 19 that controls 17, it is necessary to add a phase compensation circuit in advance, and the configuration of the controller 19 becomes complicated.
[0036] そこで、 この実施形態のモータ一体型の磁気軸受装置では、 上記した両合 成パネの剛性の大小関係を、 [0036] Therefore, in the motor-integrated magnetic bearing device of this embodiment, the magnitude relationship between the rigidity of the two composite panels described above is
軸受等による合成パネの剛性値 >電磁石■モータによる合成パネの負の剛 性値… (2 ) としている。 とくに、 このモータ一体型の磁気軸受装置では、 上記したようにアキシアルギャップ型のモータ 2 8をコアレスモータとして いるので、 モータ 2 8に作用する負の剛性値をゼロとすることができ、 上記 ( 2 ) 式の大小関係を保つことができる。 Rigidity value of composite panel by bearings, etc.> Electromagnet ■ Negative stiffness value of synthetic panel by motor… (2). In particular, in this motor-integrated magnetic bearing device, since the axial gap motor 28 is a coreless motor as described above, the negative stiffness acting on the motor 28 can be reduced to zero. 2) The magnitude relationship of the equation can be maintained.
その結果、 制御帯域において、 機械システムの位相が 1 8 0 ° 遅れとなる ことを防止できるので、 磁気軸受用コントローラ 1 9の制御対象を安定なも のとでき、 コントローラ 1 9の回路構成を図 2のように比例もしくは比例積 分を用いた簡単なものに構成できる。 As a result, the phase of the mechanical system can be prevented from being delayed by 180 ° in the control band, so that the control target of the magnetic bearing controller 19 can be controlled stably. The circuit configuration of the controller 19 can be configured as a simple one using proportional or proportional integration as shown in Fig. 2.
[0037] ブロック図で示す図 2の磁気軸受用コントローラ 1 9では、 各センサ 1 8 の検出出力 P 1 , P 2をセンサ出力演算回路 3 0で加減算し、 その演算結果 を比較器 3 1で基準値設定手段 3 2の基準値と比較して偏差を演算し、 さら に演算した偏差を P I補償回路 (もしくは P補償回路) 3 3によりタービン ユニット 5に応じて適宜設定される比例積分 (もしくは比例) 処理を行うこ とで、 電磁石 1 7の制御信号を演算するようにしている。 P I補償回路 (も しくは P補償回路) 3 3の出力は、 ダイオード 3 4 , 3 5を介して各方向の 電磁石 1 7 1 7 2を駆動するパワー回路 3 6 , 3 7に入力される。 電磁石 1 7 , , 1 7 2は、 図 1に示したスラスト板 1 3 a , 1 3 bに対向する一対の電磁 石 1 7であり、 吸引力しか作用しないため、 予めダイオード 3 4 , 3 5で電 流の向きを決め、 2個の電磁石 1 7 1 7 2を選択的に駆動するようにしてい る。 [0037] In the magnetic bearing controller 19 shown in the block diagram of FIG. 2, the detection outputs P 1 and P 2 of the sensors 18 are added and subtracted by the sensor output arithmetic circuit 30 and the calculation results are compared by the comparator 31. Deviation is calculated by comparing with the reference value of the reference value setting means 3 2, and the calculated deviation is proportionally integrated (or appropriately set by the PI compensation circuit (or P compensation circuit) 3 3 according to the turbine unit 5 (or Proportional) By processing, the control signal of the electromagnet 17 is calculated. The output of the PI compensation circuit (or P compensation circuit) 3 3 is input to the power circuits 3 6 and 3 7 that drive the electromagnets 1 7 1 7 2 in each direction via the diodes 3 4 and 3 5. The electromagnets 17,, 17 2 are a pair of magnets 17 facing the thrust plates 13 a, 13 b shown in FIG. 1 and only act on the attraction force. The direction of the current is determined by, and the two electromagnets 1 7 1 7 2 are selectively driven.
[0038] 同じくブロック図で示す図 3のモータ用コントローラ 2 9では、 位相調整 回路 3 8で演算されたモータロータ 2 8 aの回転角を基に位相調整回路 3 8 でモータ駆動電流の位相調整が行われ、 その調整結果に応じたタイミングで モータ駆動電流をモータ駆動回路 3 9からモータステータ 2 8 bに供給する 。 位相調整を行うことにより回転数に変動が生じるため、 回転同期指令信号 を基に、 モータロータ 2 8 aの回転角をフィードバック信号として、 モータ 駆動電流の大きさを調整し、 定回転制御が行われる。 In the motor controller 29 of FIG. 3 also shown in the block diagram, the phase adjustment circuit 3 8 can adjust the phase of the motor drive current based on the rotation angle of the motor rotor 28 a calculated by the phase adjustment circuit 38. The motor drive current is supplied from the motor drive circuit 39 to the motor stator 28b at a timing according to the adjustment result. Since the rotational speed fluctuates due to phase adjustment, constant rotation control is performed based on the rotation synchronization command signal by adjusting the motor drive current magnitude using the rotation angle of the motor rotor 28a as a feedback signal. .
[0039] 前記位相調整回路 3 8によるモータ駆動電流の位相調整の一つとして、 具 体的には、 以下のような制御が行われる。 位相調整回路 3 8は、 モータロー タ 2 8 aとモ一タステ一タ 2 8 b間の角度位相を検出する図 4の位相検出セ ンサ 4 0の出力によって、 モ一タステ一タ 2 8 bのモータコイル 2 8 b aへ の電圧印加のタイミングを、 モータ 2 8の定格回転数に応じて決定する。 こ のように決定されたタイミングで、 モータ駆動回路 3 9は、 モータロータ 2 8 aの永久磁石 2 8 a aがモ一タステ一タ 2 8 bのモータコイル 2 8 b aを 通過する毎に、 モータコイル 2 8 b aへ電圧を印加する。 [0039] As one of the phase adjustments of the motor drive current by the phase adjustment circuit 38, specifically, the following control is performed. The phase adjustment circuit 3 8 detects the angular phase between the motor rotor 2 8 a and the motor stator 2 8 b by the output of the phase detection sensor 40 in FIG. The timing of voltage application to the motor coil 28 ba is determined according to the rated speed of the motor 28. At the timing determined in this manner, the motor drive circuit 39 is connected to the motor rotor 2 8 a by the permanent magnet 2 8 aa of the motor rotor 2 8 a. Apply voltage to motor coil 2 8 ba each time it passes.
図 4では、 前記位相検出センサ 4 0力 回転方向におけるモータコイル 2 8 b aの中心相当位置に取付けられているので、 図 5 ( A ) のようにモータ ロータ 2 8 aの永久磁石 2 8 a aがモータコイル 2 8 b aを通過するとき、 位相検出センサ 4 0の検出信号は、 図 5 ( B ) のように通過時間に一致した パルス幅の信号となる。 In FIG. 4, since the phase detection sensor 40 0 is attached at a position corresponding to the center of the motor coil 2 8 ba in the rotational direction, the permanent magnet 2 8 aa of the motor rotor 2 8 a is attached as shown in FIG. When passing through the motor coil 28 ba, the detection signal of the phase detection sensor 40 becomes a signal having a pulse width that matches the passage time as shown in FIG. 5 (B).
ところが、 この検出信号に基づき、 モータコイル 2 8 b aへの電圧印加タ イミングを決定すると、 モータコイル 2 8 b aの電流は図 5 ( C ) に示す波 形となって、 モータロータ 2 8 aの永久磁石 2 8 a aの磁極切替り位置がモ —タステ一タ 2 8 bの発生する磁束の中心 (モータコイル 2 8 b aの中心) を通過するときにモータコイル 2 8 b aの電流値が最大とならない。 However, when the voltage application timing to the motor coil 28 ba is determined based on this detection signal, the current in the motor coil 28 ba becomes the waveform shown in FIG. When the magnetic pole switching position of magnet 2 8 aa passes through the center of magnetic flux generated by motor stator 2 8 b (the center of motor coil 2 8 ba), the current value of motor coil 2 8 ba does not become the maximum. .
そこで、 ここでは前記位相調整回路 3 8力 前記位相検出センサ 4 0の出 力を所定角度だけ進み位相に変換する出力早出し時間設定手段 4 1を有する ものとされ、 この出力早出し時間設定手段 4 1の出力に応答してモータコィ ル 2 8 b aへの電圧印加の開始を行うことにより、 モータロータ 2 8 aの永 久磁石 2 8 a aの磁極切替り位置がモータステータ 2 8 bの発生する磁束の 中心 (モータコイル 2 8 b aの中心) を通過するときにモータコイル 2 8 b aの電流値が最大となるようにされる。 換言すると、 出力早出し時間設定手 段 4 1は、 位相検出センサ 4 0が永久磁石 2 8 a aの通過を検出してから次 回の永久磁石 2 8 a aの通過を検出するまでの経過時間よりも短い所定の遅 れ時間後に、 位相検出センサ 4 0の前回の検出信号を出力する。 図 5 ( D ) には、 前記出力早出し時間設定手段 4 1によって進み位相に変換された出力 信号の波形を示し、 図 5 ( E ) にはその出力タイミングでモータコイル 2 8 b aへの電圧印加が開始されたときのモータコイル 2 8 b aの電流の波形図 を示す。 前記出力早出し時間設定手段 4 1により変換される出力信号の進み 角度 (出力早出し時間) は、 測定または計算によって求められ、 前記出力早 出し時間設定手段 4 1に予め設定される。 なお、 その設定値は、 モータ 2 8 の各定格回転数に応じたものがそれぞれ用意される。 [0041 ] 前記出力早出し時間設定手段 4 1により進み位相に変換した信号でモータ コイル 2 8 b aへの電圧印加の開始タイミングを決定する位相調整回路 3 8 の動作は、 モータ 2 8の回転数が変動していないことが前提となるが、 この 種のモータ一体型の磁気軸受装置を用いるタービンュニット 5は一定回転で 運転するので何ら問題はない。 Therefore, here, it is assumed that the phase adjustment circuit 3 8 force has an output rapid setting time setting means 41 that advances the output of the phase detection sensor 40 by a predetermined angle and converts it into a phase, and this output rapid setting time setting means 4 By applying voltage to the motor coil 2 8 ba in response to the output of 1, the permanent magnet 2 of the motor rotor 2 8 a 2 8 aa's magnetic pole switching position changes the magnetic flux generated by the motor stator 2 8 b The current value of the motor coil 28 ba is maximized when passing through the center of the motor (the center of the motor coil 28 ba). In other words, the output quick setting time setting means 41 is based on the elapsed time from when the phase detection sensor 40 detects the passage of the permanent magnet 28 aa until the next passage of the permanent magnet 28 aa is detected. After a short predetermined delay time, the previous detection signal of the phase detection sensor 40 is output. Fig. 5 (D) shows the waveform of the output signal converted into a phase advance by the output rapid setting time setting means 41, and Fig. 5 (E) shows the voltage to the motor coil 28 ba at the output timing. A waveform diagram of the current of the motor coil 28 ba when application is started is shown. The advance angle (output quick start time) of the output signal converted by the output quick start time setting means 41 is obtained by measurement or calculation, and is preset in the output quick start time setting means 41. The set value is prepared for each rated speed of the motor 28. [0041] The operation of the phase adjustment circuit 3 8 that determines the start timing of voltage application to the motor coil 2 8 ba based on the signal converted into the lead phase by the output quick setting time setting means 4 1 is the number of rotations of the motor 2 8 However, there is no problem because the turbine unit 5 using this type of motor-integrated magnetic bearing device operates at a constant speed.
[0042] モータコイル 2 8 b aへの電圧印加の開始タイミングを早めて、 モータ口 —タ 2 8 aの永久磁石 2 8 a aの中心がモータステ一タ 2 8 bの発生する磁 束の中心 (モータコイル 2 8 b aの中心) を通過するときにモータコイル 2 8 b aの電流値が最大となるようにする他の手段として、 図 4に破線で示す ように、 位相検出センサ 4 0の取付位置を、 回転により、 モータロータ 2 8 aの永久磁石 2 8 a aの中心がモータステータ 2 8 bの発生する磁束の中心 (モータコイル 2 8 b aの中心) を通過する位置に達するよりも手前として も良い。 この場合には、 図 3における位相調整回路 3 8での出力早出し時間 設定手段 4 1は省略される。 [0042] The start timing of voltage application to the motor coil 2 8 ba is advanced, and the center of the permanent magnet 2 8 aa of the motor port 2 8 a is the center of the magnetic flux generated by the motor stator 2 8 b (motor As another means of maximizing the current value of the motor coil 2 8 ba when passing through the center of the coil 2 8 ba), the mounting position of the phase detection sensor 40 as shown by the broken line in FIG. The center of the permanent magnet 28 aa of the motor rotor 28 a may be closer to the position passing through the center of the magnetic flux generated by the motor stator 28 b (the center of the motor coil 28 ba) due to the rotation. In this case, the output quick start time setting means 41 in the phase adjustment circuit 38 in FIG. 3 is omitted.
[0043] この場合、 図 6 ( A ) のようにモータロータ 2 8 aの永久磁石 2 8 a aが モータコイル 2 8 b aを通過するとき、 位相検出センサ 4 0の検出信号は、 図 6 ( B ) のように永久磁石 2 8 a aがモータコイル 2 8 b aに差しかかる 手前から立ち上がる進み位相となり、 位相調整回路 3 8はこの検出信号に基 づき、 モータコイル 2 8 b aへの電圧印加の開始タイミングを決定する。 こ れにより、 モータコイル 2 8 b aの電流は図 6 ( C ) に示す波形となって、 モータロータ 2 8 aの永久磁石 2 8 a aの中心がモ一タステ一タ 2 8 bの発 生する磁束の中心 (モータコイル 2 8 b aの中心) を通過するときにモータ コイル 2 8 b aの電流値が最大となる。 In this case, as shown in FIG. 6 (A), when the permanent magnet 28 aa of the motor rotor 28 a passes through the motor coil 28 ba, the detection signal of the phase detection sensor 40 is as shown in FIG. As shown in Fig. 3, the permanent magnet 2 8 aa has a leading phase that rises from before it reaches the motor coil 2 8 ba, and the phase adjustment circuit 3 8 determines the start timing of voltage application to the motor coil 2 8 ba based on this detection signal. decide. As a result, the current of the motor coil 2 8 ba has the waveform shown in FIG. 6 (C), and the center of the permanent magnet 2 8 aa of the motor rotor 2 8 a is the magnetic flux generated by the motor stator 2 8 b. When passing through the center of the motor (the center of the motor coil 2 8 ba), the current value of the motor coil 2 8 ba becomes the maximum.
[0044] この構成のタービンユニット 5は、 例えば空気サイクル冷凍冷却システム に適用されて、 冷却媒体となる空気を後段の熱交換器 (ここでは図示せず) により効率良く熱交換できるように、 コンプレッサ 6で圧縮して温度上昇さ せ、 さらに後段の前記熱交換器で冷却された空気を、 膨張タービン 7により 、 目標温度、 例えば— 3 0 °C〜一 6 0 °C程度の極低温まで断熱膨張により冷 却して排出するように使用される。 The turbine unit 5 having this configuration is applied to, for example, an air cycle refrigeration cooling system so that air as a cooling medium can be efficiently heat-exchanged by a heat exchanger (not shown here) at a subsequent stage. The temperature is increased by compressing at 6 and the air cooled by the heat exchanger at the subsequent stage is further insulated by the expansion turbine 7 to a target temperature, for example, a very low temperature of about 30 ° C. to about 60 ° C. Cold due to expansion It is used to discharge on the contrary.
このような使用例において、 このタービンユニット 5は、 コンプレッサ翼 車 6 aおよびタービン翼車 7 a力 前記スラスト板 1 3 aとモータロータ 2 8 aと共通の主軸 1 3に嵌合し、 モータ 2 8の動力とタービン翼車 7 aで発 生した動力のどちらか一方または両方によりコンプレッサ翼車 6 aを駆動す るものとしている。 このため、 各翼車 6 a , 7 aの適切な隙間 d 1 , d 2を 保って主軸 1 3の安定した高速回転が得られ、 かつ軸受 1 5 , 1 6の長期耐 久性の向上、 寿命の向上が得られる。 In such an example of use, the turbine unit 5 is fitted to the main shaft 1 3 common to the thrust plate 1 3 a and the motor rotor 2 8 a, and the motor 2 8 The compressor impeller 6a is driven by one or both of the power of the turbine and the power generated by the turbine impeller 7a. For this reason, stable high-speed rotation of the main shaft 13 can be obtained while maintaining appropriate gaps d 1 and d 2 between the impellers 6 a and 7 a, and the long-term durability of the bearings 15 and 16 can be improved. Improved lifespan is obtained.
[0045] すなわち、 タービンユニット 5の圧縮, 膨張の効率を確保するためには、 各翼車 6 a , 7 aとハウジング 6 b , 7 13との隙間01 1 , d 2を微小に保つ 必要がある。 例えば、 このタービンユニット 5を空気サイクル冷凍冷却シス テムに適用する場合には、 この効率確保が重要となる。 これに対して、 主軸 1 3を転がり形式の軸受 1 5 , 1 6により支持するため、 転がり軸受の持つ アキシアル方向位置の規制機能により、 主軸 1 3のアキシアル方向位置があ る程度規制され、 各翼車 6 a , 7 aとハウジング 6 b , 7 bとの微小隙間 d 1 , d 2を一定に保つことができる。 That is, in order to ensure the efficiency of compression and expansion of the turbine unit 5, it is necessary to keep the gaps 01 1 and d 2 between the impellers 6 a and 7 a and the housings 6 b and 7 13 minute. is there. For example, when this turbine unit 5 is applied to an air cycle refrigeration cooling system, ensuring this efficiency is important. On the other hand, since the main shaft 13 is supported by rolling type bearings 15 and 16, the axial position control function of the rolling bearing restricts the axial direction position of the main shaft 13 to some extent. The minute gaps d 1 and d 2 between the impellers 6 a and 7 a and the housings 6 b and 7 b can be kept constant.
[0046] しかし、 タービンユニット 5の主軸 1 3には、 各翼車 6 a , 7 aに作用す る空気の圧力でスラスト力がかかる。 また、 空気冷却システムで使用するタ —ビンュニット 5では、 1分間に例えば 8万〜 1 0万回転程度の非常に高速 の回転となる。 そのため、 主軸 1 3を回転支持する転がり軸受 1 5 , 1 6に 上記スラスト力が作用すると、 軸受 1 5 , 1 6の長期耐久性が低下する。 この実施形態は、 上記スラスト力を電磁石 1 7で支持するため、 非接触で トルクの増大を抑えながら、 主軸 1 3の支持用の転がり軸受 1 5 , 1 6に作 用するスラスト力を軽減することができる。 この場合に、 主軸 1 3に作用す るスラスト力を検出するセンサ 1 8と、 このセンサ 1 8の出力に応じて前記 電磁石 1 7による支持力を制御する磁気軸受用コントローラ 1 9とを設けた ため、 転がり軸受 1 5 , 1 6を、 その軸受仕様に応じてスラスト力に対し最 適な状態で使用することができる。 特に、 軸方向に並べて主軸 1 3に設けられた 2つのスラスト板 1 3 a , 1 3 bの軸方向外側に 2つの電磁石 1 7を配置して磁気軸受ュニットを構成す ると共に、 前記両スラスト板 1 3 a , 1 3 bで挟まれる位置にアキシアルギ ヤップ型のモータ 2 8を配置してモータュニットを構成することにより、 磁 気軸受ュニッ卜とモータュニットをコンパク 卜な一体構造としているため、 主軸 5 3の軸長を短くでき、 それだけ主軸 1 3の固有振動数が高くなつて、 主軸 1 3を高速回転させることができる。 However, a thrust force is applied to the main shaft 13 of the turbine unit 5 by the pressure of air acting on the impellers 6 a and 7 a. In addition, the turbine unit 5 used in the air cooling system rotates at a very high speed of, for example, about 80,000 to 100,000 revolutions per minute. For this reason, when the above thrust force acts on the rolling bearings 15 and 16 that rotatably support the main shaft 13, the long-term durability of the bearings 15 and 16 decreases. In this embodiment, since the thrust force is supported by the electromagnet 17, the thrust force applied to the rolling bearings 15 and 16 for supporting the main shaft 13 is reduced while suppressing an increase in torque without contact. be able to. In this case, a sensor 18 for detecting the thrust force acting on the main shaft 13 and a magnetic bearing controller 19 for controlling the supporting force by the electromagnet 17 according to the output of the sensor 18 are provided. Therefore, the rolling bearings 15 and 16 can be used in an optimum state with respect to the thrust force according to the bearing specifications. In particular, a magnetic bearing unit is constructed by arranging two electromagnets 17 on the outer side in the axial direction of two thrust plates 13a, 13b arranged on the main shaft 13 in the axial direction. By arranging an axial gap type motor 28 at a position sandwiched between the plates 1 3 a and 1 3 b to form a motor unit, the magnetic bearing unit and the motor unit are made into a compact integrated structure. The shaft length of 3 can be shortened, and the natural frequency of the main shaft 13 can be increased accordingly, so that the main shaft 13 can be rotated at high speed.
[0047] また、 このモータ一体型の磁気軸受装置では、 モータ用コントローラ 2 9 において、 モータロータ 2 8 aの永久磁石 2 8 a aの中心がモ一タステ一タ 2 8 bの発生する磁束の中心 (モータコイル 2 8 b aの中心) を通過すると きに、 モータコイル 2 8 b aの電流値が最大となるように、 位相調整回路 3 8がモータコイル 2 8 b aへの電圧印加の開始タイミングを決定するように しているので、 モータ 2 8の効率を向上させることができる。 [0047] In the motor-integrated magnetic bearing device, in the motor controller 29, the center of the permanent magnet 28aa of the motor rotor 28a is the center of the magnetic flux generated by the motor stator 28b ( The phase adjustment circuit 3 8 determines the start timing of voltage application to the motor coil 2 8 ba so that the current value of the motor coil 2 8 ba is maximized when passing through the center of the motor coil 2 8 ba). As a result, the efficiency of the motor 28 can be improved.
[0048] 図 7はタービンユニット 5の第 2実施形態を示す。 このタービンユニット 5は、 図 1に示す実施形態において、 主軸 1 3に垂直かつ同軸に設けられた 強磁性体からなるフランジ状のスラスト板を 1つだけとして、 このスラスト 板 1 3 aを電磁石ターゲットとして、 その両面に非接触で対向するように、 左右一対の電磁石 1 7 , 1 7がスピンドルハウジング 1 4に設置されている FIG. 7 shows a second embodiment of the turbine unit 5. In the embodiment shown in FIG. 1, the turbine unit 5 includes only one flange-like thrust plate made of a ferromagnetic material that is provided perpendicularly and coaxially to the main shaft 13 and uses the thrust plate 1 3 a as an electromagnetic target. A pair of left and right electromagnets 17 and 17 are installed on the spindle housing 14 so as to face each other in a non-contact manner.
[0049] モータ 2 8は、 主軸 1 3に設けられたモータロータ 2 8 aと、 このモータ ロータ 2 8 aに対し軸方向に対向するモ一タステ一タ 2 8 bとでなる。 モー タロータ 2 8 aは、 前記スラスト板 1 3 aの両面における前記電磁石 1 7の 対向位置よりも外径側に、 円周方向に等ピッチで並ぶ永久磁石 2 8 a aを配 置することで左右一対のものが構成される。 このように軸方向に対向配置さ れる永久磁石 2 8 a aの間では、 その磁極が互いに異極となるように設定さ れる。 スラスト板 1 3 aは永久磁石 2 8 a aのバックヨークを兼ねる。 モ一タステ一タ 2 8 bは、 前記スラスト板 1 3 aの両面のモータロータ 2 8 aに非接触で対向するように、 スピンドルハウジング 1 4に設置される強 磁性体 (例えば低炭素鋼およびケィ素鋼板) からなる一対のステータヨーク[0049] The motor 28 includes a motor rotor 28a provided on the main shaft 13 and a motor stator 28b that faces the motor rotor 28a in the axial direction. The motor rotor 28 a is arranged by arranging permanent magnets 28 aa arranged at equal pitches in the circumferential direction on the outer diameter side of the thrust plate 13 a on the both sides of the electromagnet 17 facing each other. A pair is constructed. Thus, between the permanent magnets 28 aa arranged opposite to each other in the axial direction, the magnetic poles are set to be different from each other. The thrust plate 1 3 a doubles as the back yoke of the permanent magnet 2 8 aa. The motor stator 28b is a strong force installed in the spindle housing 14 so as to face the motor rotor 28a on both sides of the thrust plate 13a in a non-contact manner. A pair of stator yokes made of magnetic material (for example, low carbon steel and key steel plate)
2 8 b bに、 それぞれモータコイル b aを巻回することで左右一対のものが 構成される。 このようにして前記スラスト板 1 3 aを挟んで構成される左右 2個のモータ 2 8は、 前記モータロータ 2 8 aとモ一タステ一タ 2 8 b間に 作用する磁気力により、 主軸 1 3を回転させる。 この場合、 スラスト板 1 3 aにおけるモータロータ 2 8 bの位置を、 電磁石 1 7の対向位置よりも外径 側としているので、 少ないモータ駆動電流でより大きいトルクを得ることが できる。 その他の構成は図 1の実施形態の場合と同様であり、 ここではその 説明を省略する。 A pair of left and right is formed by winding motor coils b a around 28 b b. In this way, the two left and right motors 28 configured with the thrust plate 1 3 a sandwiched between them are driven by the magnetic force acting between the motor rotor 2 8 a and the motor stator 2 8 b. Rotate. In this case, since the position of the motor rotor 28 b on the thrust plate 13 a is on the outer diameter side with respect to the position facing the electromagnet 17, a larger torque can be obtained with a small motor driving current. Other configurations are the same as those in the embodiment of FIG. 1, and the description thereof is omitted here.
[0050] 図 8は、 図 1に示すタービンュニット 5を用いた空気サイクル冷凍冷却シ ステムの全体の構成を示す。 この空気サイクル冷凍冷却システムは、 冷凍倉 庫等の被冷却空間 1 0の空気を直接に冷媒として冷却するシステムであり、 被冷却空間 1 0にそれぞれ開口した空気の取入口 1 aから排出口 1 bに至る 空気循環経路 1を有している。 この空気循環経路 1に、 予圧縮手段 2、 第 1 の熱交換器 3、 空気サイクル冷凍冷却用タービンュニット 5のコンプレッサ 6、 第 2の熱交換器 3、 中間熱交換器 9、 および前記タービンユニット 5の 膨張タービン 7が順に設けられている。 中間熱交換器 9は、 同じ空気循環経 路 1内で取入口 1 aの付近の流入空気と、 後段の圧縮で昇温し、 冷却された 空気との間で熱交換を行うものであり、 取入口 1 aの付近の空気は熱交換器 9 a内を通る。 FIG. 8 shows the overall configuration of an air cycle refrigeration cooling system using the turbine unit 5 shown in FIG. This air cycle refrigeration cooling system is a system that directly cools air in a space to be cooled 10 such as a freezer warehouse as a refrigerant. Air circulation path 1 leading to b. In this air circulation path 1, pre-compression means 2, first heat exchanger 3, compressor 6 of air cycle refrigeration cooling turbine unit 5, second heat exchanger 3, intermediate heat exchanger 9, and said turbine unit 5 The expansion turbines 7 are provided in order. The intermediate heat exchanger 9 exchanges heat between the inflow air near the intake 1a in the same air circulation path 1 and the air that has been heated by the subsequent compression and cooled. The air near the intake port 1a passes through the heat exchanger 9a.
[0051 ] 予圧縮手段 2はブロア等からなり、 モータ 2 aにより駆動される。 第 1の 熱交換器 3および第 2の熱交換器 8は、 冷却媒体を循環させる熱交換器 3 a , 8 aをそれぞれ有し、 熱交換器 3 a , 8 a内の水等の冷却媒体と空気循環 経路 1の空気との間で熱交換を行う。 各熱交換器 3 a , 8 aは、 冷却塔 1 1 に配管接続されており、 熱交換で昇温した冷却媒体が冷却塔 1 1で冷却され る。 なお、 前記予圧縮手段 2を含まない構成の空気サイクル冷凍冷却システ ムでもよい。 [0051] The pre-compression means 2 comprises a blower or the like and is driven by a motor 2a. The first heat exchanger 3 and the second heat exchanger 8 have heat exchangers 3 a and 8 a for circulating a cooling medium, respectively, and a cooling medium such as water in the heat exchangers 3 a and 8 a Heat exchange with the air in the air circulation path 1. Each of the heat exchangers 3 a and 8 a is connected to the cooling tower 11 by piping, and the cooling medium heated by the heat exchange is cooled by the cooling tower 11. An air cycle refrigeration cooling system having a configuration not including the pre-compression means 2 may be used.
[0052] この空気サイクル冷凍冷却システムは、 被冷却空間 1 0を 0 °C〜― 6 0 °C 程度に保つシステムであり、 被冷却空間 1 0から空気循環経路 1の取入口 1 aに 0°C〜― 60°C程度で 1気圧の空気が流入する。 なお、 以下に示す温度 および気圧の数値は、 一応の目安となる一例である。 取入口 1 aに流入した 空気は、 中間熱交換器 9により、 空気循環経路 1中の後段の空気の冷却に使 用され、 30°Cまで昇温する。 この昇温した空気は 1気圧のままであるが、 予圧縮手段 2により 1. 4気圧に圧縮させられ、 その圧縮により、 70°Cま で昇温する。 第 1の熱交換器 3は、 昇温した 70°Cの空気を冷却すれば良い ため、 常温程度の冷水であっても効率良く冷却することができ、 40°Cに冷 却する。 [0052] In this air cycle refrigeration cooling system, the space to be cooled 10 is 0 ° C to-60 ° C This is a system that keeps the pressure at a level, and air of 1 atm flows from the cooled space 10 to the intake 1 a of the air circulation path 1 at about 0 ° C to -60 ° C. Note that the temperature and pressure values shown below are just examples. The air flowing into the intake 1a is used to cool the air in the latter stage in the air circulation path 1 by the intermediate heat exchanger 9, and the temperature is raised to 30 ° C. This heated air remains at 1 atm, but is compressed to 1.4 atm by pre-compression means 2, and the temperature is raised to 70 ° C by the compression. The first heat exchanger 3 only needs to cool the heated air at 70 ° C, so it can be cooled efficiently even with cold water at room temperature, and it is cooled to 40 ° C.
[0053] 熱交換により冷却された 40°C, 1. 4気圧の空気が、 タービンユニット 5のコンプレッサ 6により、 1. 8気圧まで圧縮され、 この圧縮により 70 °C程度に昇温した状態で、 第 2の熱交換器 8により 40°Cに冷却される。 こ の 40°Cの空気は、 中間熱交換器 9で— 30°Cの空気により— 20°Cまで冷 却される。 気圧はコンプレッサ 6から排出された 1. 8気圧が維持される。 中間熱交換器 9で一 20°Cまで冷却された空気は、 タービンュニット 5の 膨張タービン 7により断熱膨張され、 _55°Cまで冷却されて排出口 1 bか ら被冷却空間 1 0に排出される。 この空気サイクル冷凍冷却システムは、 こ のような冷凍サイクルを行う。 [0053] Air at 40 ° C and 1.4 atm cooled by heat exchange is compressed to 1.8 atm by the compressor 6 of the turbine unit 5, and the temperature is raised to about 70 ° C by this compression. Cooled to 40 ° C by the second heat exchanger 8. This 40 ° C air is cooled to –20 ° C by –30 ° C air in the intermediate heat exchanger 9. The atmospheric pressure is maintained at 1.8 atm which is discharged from the compressor 6. The air cooled to 20 ° C in the intermediate heat exchanger 9 is adiabatically expanded by the expansion turbine 7 of the turbine unit 5, cooled to _55 ° C, and discharged to the cooled space 10 from the outlet 1b. . This air cycle refrigeration cooling system performs such a refrigeration cycle.
[0054] この空気サイクル冷凍冷却システムでは、 タービンユニット 5において、 各翼車 6 a, 7 aの適切な隙間 d 1 , d 2を保って主軸 1 3の安定した高速 回転が得られ、 かつ軸受 1 5, 1 6の長期耐久性の向上、 寿命の向上が得ら れることで、 軸受 1 5, 1 6の長期耐久性が向上することから、 タービンュ ニット 5の全体として、 しいては空気サイクル冷凍冷却システムの全体とし ての信頼性が向上する。 このように、 空気サイクル冷凍冷却システムのネッ クとなっているタービンュニット 5の主軸軸受 1 5, 1 6の安定した高速回 転、 長期耐久性、 信頼性が向上するため、 空気サイクル冷凍冷却システムの 実用化が可能となる。 In this air cycle refrigeration cooling system, in the turbine unit 5, stable high-speed rotation of the main shaft 1 3 can be obtained while maintaining appropriate gaps d 1 and d 2 between the impellers 6 a and 7 a, and bearings By improving the long-term durability and life of 1 5 and 1 6 and improving the long-term durability of bearings 1 and 16, the turbine unit 5 as a whole, and therefore the air cycle The reliability of the entire refrigeration / cooling system is improved. In this way, stable high-speed rotation, long-term durability, and reliability of the main spindle bearings 1 5 and 1 6 of the turbine unit 5 which is the network of the air cycle refrigeration and cooling system are improved. Commercialization is possible.
[0055] 図 9はタービンュニット 5の第 3実施形態のモータ一体型磁気軸受装置に 用いられるモータ用コントローラ 2 9を示す。 位相調整回路 3 8によるモ一 タ駆動電流の位相調整は、 具体的には以下のように行われる。 位相調整回路 3 8は、 モータロータ 2 8 aとモ一タステ一タ 2 8 b間の角度位相を検出す る位置センサ 4 3、 モータコイル 2 8 b aに流れる電流を検出する電流セン サ 4 4、 およびモータロータ 2 8 aの回転速度を検出する速度センサ 4 5の 各出力によって、 モータコイル 2 8 b aへの電圧印加のタイミングを所定の 処理により決定する。 このように決定されたタイミングで、 モータ駆動回路 3 9は、 モータロータ 2 8 aの永久磁石 2 8 a aがモ一タステ一タ 2 8 の モータコイル 2 8 b aを通過する毎に、 モータコイル 2 8 b aへ電圧を印加 する。 なお、 速度センサ 4 5を設ける代りに位置センサ 4 3の角度位相の出 力の変化からモータロータ 2 8 aの回転速度を計算する手段 (図示せず) を 設け、 その出力される回転速度を位相調整回路 3 8で用いるようにしてもよ い。 FIG. 9 shows a motor-integrated magnetic bearing device according to a third embodiment of the turbine unit 5. The motor controller 29 used is shown. Specifically, the phase adjustment of the motor drive current by the phase adjustment circuit 38 is performed as follows. The phase adjustment circuit 3 8 includes a position sensor 4 3 that detects an angular phase between the motor rotor 2 8 a and the motor stator 2 8 b, a current sensor 4 4 that detects a current flowing through the motor coil 2 8 ba, The timing of voltage application to the motor coil 28 ba is determined by predetermined processing based on the outputs of the speed sensor 45 that detects the rotational speed of the motor rotor 28 a. At the timing determined in this manner, the motor drive circuit 3 9 causes the motor coil 2 8 aa to move every time the permanent magnet 2 8 aa of the motor rotor 2 8 a passes the motor coil 2 8 ba of the motor stator 2 8. Apply voltage to ba. Instead of providing the speed sensor 45, a means (not shown) for calculating the rotational speed of the motor rotor 28a from the change in the output of the angular phase of the position sensor 43 is provided. It may be used in the adjustment circuit 3 8.
[0056] 前記位相調整回路 3 8がモータコイル 2 8 b aへの電圧印加タイミングを 決定する位相調整処理の具体例を、 図 1 0のフロー図を参照して以下に説明 する。 A specific example of the phase adjustment process in which the phase adjustment circuit 38 determines the voltage application timing to the motor coil 28 b a will be described below with reference to the flowchart of FIG.
調整開始により、 先ず電圧印加のタイミング時刻 Tを調整する単位時間△ Tを設定する (ステップ S 1 ) 。 次に、 電流センサ 4 4で検出された現在の モータ電流の電流値 Iを図示しない記憶部に保管する値 I 0 として記憶し ( ステップ S 2 ) 、 現在の電圧印加のタイミング時刻 Tに対して単位時間 Δ Τ だけ加算する (ステップ S 3 ) 。 単位時間 Δ Τをプラスの値とすると、 前記 処理により電圧印加のタイミング時刻 Tがわずかだけ遅れ位相側に変更され ることになる。 First, the unit time ΔT for adjusting the voltage application timing time T is set (step S 1). Next, the current value I of the current motor current detected by the current sensor 44 is stored as a value I 0 stored in a storage unit (not shown) (step S 2), and the current voltage application timing time T is stored. Add only the unit time Δ ((step S 3). If the unit time ΔΤ is a positive value, the voltage application timing T is changed slightly to the delayed phase side by the above process.
[0057] 次に、 速度センサ 4 5の出力するモータロータ 2 8 aの回転速度が目標回 転速度であるか否かを判定し (ステップ S 4 ) 、 目標回転速度でないときは 、 ステップ S 5〜S 7により目標回転速度となるまで回転速度に応じてモー タコイル 2 8 b aの電流を増減する。 すなわち、 ステップ S 5でモータ口一 タ 2 8 aの回転速度が目標回転速度より小さいと判定すると、 電流を増加し て回転速度を上げ (ステップ S 6 ) 、 ステップ S 5でモータロータ 2 8 aの 回転速度が目標回転速度より大きいと判定すると、 電流を減少させて回転速 度を下げる (ステップ S 7 ) 。 [0057] Next, it is determined whether or not the rotational speed of the motor rotor 28a output from the speed sensor 45 is the target rotational speed (step S4). If the rotational speed is not the target rotational speed, step S5 ~ The current of motor coil 28 ba is increased or decreased according to the rotational speed until the target rotational speed is reached by S7. That is, if it is determined in step S5 that the rotation speed of the motor port 28a is lower than the target rotation speed, the current is increased. If the rotational speed of the motor rotor 28a is determined to be greater than the target rotational speed in step S5, the current is decreased to decrease the rotational speed (step S7).
[0058] ステップ S 4において、 速度センサ 4 5の出力するモータロータ 2 8 aの 回転速度が目標回転速度になったと判定すると、 次に記憶部に記憶させた電 流値 1 0 に対して現在のモータ電流 Iが減ったか否かを判定する (ステップ S 8 ) 。 このステップ 8で、 現在のモータ電流 Iが記憶部に記憶させた電流 値 I 0 に対して減ったと判定した場合、 現在の電流値 Iを記憶部に記憶させ るステップ S 2に戻って、 ステップ S 3〜S 8のタイミング調整処理を繰り 返すことにより、 モータ電流がさらに減るかを確認する。 In step S 4, if it is determined that the rotational speed of the motor rotor 2 8 a output from the speed sensor 4 5 has reached the target rotational speed, the current value 10 stored in the storage unit is then compared with the current value 1 0. It is determined whether or not the motor current I has decreased (step S8). If it is determined in step 8 that the current motor current I has decreased with respect to the current value I 0 stored in the storage unit, the process returns to step S 2 where the current current value I is stored in the storage unit. Check if the motor current further decreases by repeating the timing adjustment process of S3 to S8.
[0059] —方、 ステップ S 8で、 現在のモータ電流 Iが記憶部に記憶させた電流値 [0059] — On the other hand, the current motor current I stored in the storage unit in step S 8
1 0 に対して減っていないと判定した場合、 現在のモータ電流 Iが記憶部に 記憶させた電流値 1 0 に対して増えたか否かを判定する (ステップ S 9 ) 。 このステップ S 9で、 現在のモータ電流 Iが記憶部に記憶させた電流値 I 0 に対して増えていないと判定した場合、 電圧印加のタイミング微調整を行つ て電流値の変化がないことから、 最良の電圧印加タイミングが得られる可能 性が有るものと判断して、 この後、 ステップ 2〜S 9によるタイミング調整 の処理を繰り返す。 When it is determined that the current does not decrease with respect to 10 0, it is determined whether or not the current motor current I has increased with respect to the current value 10 stored in the storage unit (step S 9). If it is determined in step S9 that the current motor current I has not increased with respect to the current value I 0 stored in the storage unit, the current value should not change by fine adjustment of the voltage application timing. From this, it is determined that there is a possibility that the best voltage application timing can be obtained, and thereafter, the timing adjustment process in steps 2 to S9 is repeated.
[0060] ステップ S 9において、 現在のモータ電流 Iが記憶部に記憶させた電流値 [0060] In step S9, the current motor current I stores the current value stored in the storage unit.
1 0 に対して増えたと判定した場合、 その増加が前回の増加に続く単調な増 加であるか否かを判定する (ステップ S 1 0 ) 。 ステップ S 1 0により単調 な増加と判定した場合、 電圧印加のタイミング調整の方向が逆であると判断 して、 タイミング調整の前記単位時間△ Tを正逆反対の値一△ Tに変更した 後 (ステップ S 1 1 ) 、 ステップ S 2〜S 1 0の処理を繰り返して電圧印加 のタイミングを逆方向に調整する。 If it is determined that the increase has increased with respect to 1 0, it is determined whether or not the increase is a monotonous increase following the previous increase (step S 1 0). If it is determined that the increase is monotonous in step S10, it is determined that the direction of voltage application timing adjustment is reversed, and the unit time ΔT for timing adjustment is changed to the opposite value of 1 ΔT. (Step S 1 1) and Steps S 2 to S 10 are repeated to adjust the voltage application timing in the reverse direction.
[0061 ] —方、 ステップ S 1 0において、 モータ電流 Iが前回の減少から今回の増 加に転じたものと判定した場合、 電圧印加のタイミングが最良点を通過した ものと判断して、 現在の電圧印加のタイミング時刻 Tを一つ前の状態である 単位時間 Δ Τの加算前の状態 (Τ— Δ Τ) に戻す (ステップ S 1 2) 。 この ようにタイミング調整することにより、 少ないモータ電流で所定の目標回転 速度が得られる電圧印加のタイミングを求めることができる。 [0061] —Meanwhile, in step S 1 0, if it is determined that the motor current I has changed from the previous decrease to the current increase, it is determined that the voltage application timing has passed the best point, and the current The voltage application timing time T is in the previous state Return to the state before the addition of unit time Δ 加 算 (Τ- Δ Τ) (Step S 1 2). By adjusting the timing in this way, it is possible to obtain the voltage application timing at which a predetermined target rotational speed can be obtained with a small motor current.
[0062] なお、 上記処理によるモータコイル 28 b aへの電圧印加のタイミング調 整では、 位置センサ 43, 電流センサ 44, 速度センサ 45の出力を用いた 力 回転速度が低い場合には、 モータコイル 28 b aの電流の遅れの影響が 小さいので、 電流センサ 44の出力を用いずに、 位置センサ 43の出力だけ を用いて電圧印加のタイミングを決定するほうが好ましい。 [0062] It should be noted that when adjusting the timing of voltage application to the motor coil 28 ba by the above processing, if the force rotation speed is low using the outputs of the position sensor 43, current sensor 44, and speed sensor 45, the motor coil 28 Since the influence of the current delay of ba is small, it is preferable to determine the timing of voltage application using only the output of the position sensor 43 instead of using the output of the current sensor 44.
[0063] この構成のタービンユニット 5は、 例えば空気サイクル冷凍冷却システム に適用されて、 冷却媒体となる空気を後段の熱交換器 (ここでは図示せず) により効率良く熱交換できるように、 コンプレッサ 6で圧縮して温度上昇さ せ、 さらに後段の前記熱交換器で冷却された空気を、 膨張タービン 7により 、 目標温度、 例えば— 30 °C〜一 60 °C程度の極低温まで断熱膨張により冷 却して排出するように使用される。 [0063] The turbine unit 5 having this configuration is applied to, for example, an air cycle refrigeration cooling system so that air as a cooling medium can be efficiently heat-exchanged by a subsequent heat exchanger (not shown here). The air cooled by the heat exchanger 6 and further cooled by the heat exchanger at the subsequent stage is subjected to adiabatic expansion by the expansion turbine 7 to a target temperature, for example, a very low temperature of about 30 ° C. to about 60 ° C. Used to cool and discharge.
このような使用例において、 このタービンユニット 5は、 コンプレッサ翼 車 6 aおよびタービン翼車 7 a力 前記スラスト板 1 3 aとモータロータ 2 8 aと共通の主軸 1 3に嵌合し、 モータ 28の動力とタービン翼車 7 aで発 生した動力のどちらか一方または両方によりコンプレッサ翼車 6 aを駆動す るものとしている。 このため、 各翼車 6 a, 7 aの適切な隙間 d 1 , d 2を 保って主軸 1 3の安定した高速回転が得られ、 かつ軸受 1 5, 1 6の長期耐 久性の向上、 寿命の向上が得られる。 In such an example of use, the turbine unit 5 is fitted to the main shaft 13 common to the thrust plate 1 3 a and the motor rotor 2 8 a, and the compressor blade 6 a and the turbine blade 7 a force. The compressor wheel 6a is driven by either one or both of the power and the power generated by the turbine wheel 7a. For this reason, stable high-speed rotation of the main shaft 13 can be obtained while maintaining appropriate gaps d 1 and d 2 between the impellers 6 a and 7 a, and the long-term durability of the bearings 15 and 16 can be improved. Improved lifespan is obtained.
[0064] すなわち、 タービンユニット 5の圧縮, 膨張の効率を確保するためには、 各翼車 6 a, 7 aとハウジング 6 b, 7 13との隙間01 1 , d 2を微小に保つ 必要がある。 例えば、 このタービンユニット 5を空気サイクル冷凍冷却シス テムに適用する場合には、 この効率確保が重要となる。 これに対して、 主軸 1 3を転がり形式の軸受 1 5, 1 6により支持するため、 転がり軸受の持つ アキシアル方向位置の規制機能により、 主軸 1 3のアキシアル方向位置があ る程度規制され、 各翼車 6 a, 7 aとハウジング 6 b, 7 bとの微小隙間 d 1 , d 2を一定に保つことができる。 That is, in order to ensure the efficiency of compression and expansion of the turbine unit 5, it is necessary to keep the gaps 01 1 and d 2 between the respective impellers 6 a and 7 a and the housings 6 b and 7 13 minute. is there. For example, when this turbine unit 5 is applied to an air cycle refrigeration cooling system, ensuring this efficiency is important. On the other hand, since the main shaft 1 3 is supported by rolling type bearings 15 and 16, the axial direction position restricting function of the rolling bearing is regulated to some extent by the axial direction position of the main shaft 1 3. Minute clearance d between impeller 6a, 7a and housing 6b, 7b 1 and d 2 can be kept constant.
[0065] しかし、 タービンユニット 5の主軸 1 3には、 各翼車 6 a , 7 aに作用す る空気の圧力でスラスト力がかかる。 また、 空気冷却システムで使用するタ —ビンュニット 5では、 1分間に例えば 8万〜 1 0万回転程度の非常に高速 の回転となる。 そのため、 主軸 1 3を回転支持する転がり軸受 1 5 , 1 6に 上記スラスト力が作用すると、 軸受 1 5 , 1 6の長期耐久性が低下する。 この実施形態は、 上記スラスト力を電磁石 1 7で支持するため、 非接触で トルクの増大を抑えながら、 主軸 1 3の支持用の転がり軸受 1 5 , 1 6に作 用するスラスト力を軽減することができる。 この場合に、 主軸 1 3に作用す るスラスト力を検出するセンサ 1 8と、 このセンサ 1 8の出力に応じて前記 電磁石 1 7による支持力を制御する磁気軸受用コントローラ 1 9とを設けた ため、 転がり軸受 1 5 , 1 6を、 その軸受仕様に応じてスラスト力に対し最 適な状態で使用することができる。 However, a thrust force is applied to the main shaft 13 of the turbine unit 5 by the air pressure acting on the impellers 6 a and 7 a. In addition, the turbine unit 5 used in the air cooling system rotates at a very high speed of, for example, about 80,000 to 100,000 revolutions per minute. For this reason, when the above thrust force acts on the rolling bearings 15 and 16 that rotatably support the main shaft 13, the long-term durability of the bearings 15 and 16 decreases. In this embodiment, since the thrust force is supported by the electromagnet 17, the thrust force applied to the rolling bearings 15 and 16 for supporting the main shaft 13 is reduced while suppressing an increase in torque without contact. be able to. In this case, a sensor 18 for detecting the thrust force acting on the main shaft 13 and a magnetic bearing controller 19 for controlling the supporting force by the electromagnet 17 according to the output of the sensor 18 are provided. Therefore, the rolling bearings 15 and 16 can be used in an optimum state with respect to the thrust force according to the bearing specifications.
特に、 軸方向に並べて主軸 1 3に設けられた 2つのスラスト板 1 3 a , 1 3 bの軸方向外側に 2つの電磁石 1 7を配置して磁気軸受ュニットを構成す ると共に、 前記両スラスト板 1 3 a , 1 3 bで挟まれる位置にアキシアルギ ヤップ型のモータ 2 8を配置してモータュニットを構成することにより、 磁 気軸受ュニッ卜とモータュニットをコンパク 卜な一体構造としているため、 主軸 5 3の軸長を短くでき、 それだけ主軸 1 3の固有振動数が高くなつて、 主軸 1 3を高速回転させることができる。 In particular, a magnetic bearing unit is constructed by arranging two electromagnets 17 on the outer side in the axial direction of two thrust plates 13a, 13b arranged on the main shaft 13 in the axial direction. By arranging an axial gap type motor 28 at a position between the plates 1 3 a and 1 3 b to form a motor unit, the magnetic bearing unit and the motor unit are made into a compact and integrated structure. The shaft length of 3 can be shortened, and the natural frequency of the main shaft 13 can be increased accordingly, so that the main shaft 13 can be rotated at high speed.
[0066] また、 このモータ一体型の磁気軸受装置では、 モータ用コントローラ 3 8 の位相調整回路 3 8により、 モータロータ 2 8 aの永久磁石 2 8 a aがモ一 タステ一タ 2 8 bのモータコイル 2 8 b aを通過する毎にモータコイル 2 8 b aへ電圧を印加する動作において、 モータロータ 2 8 aとモータステータ 2 8 b間の角度位相を検出する位置センサ 4 3の出力、 モ一タステ一タ 2 8 bのモータコイル 2 8 b aに流れる電流を検出する電流センサ 4 4の出力、 およびモータロータ 2 8 aの回転速度を検出する速度センサ 4 5の出力を用 いて、 図 1 0にフロー図で示す所定の処理により前記電圧印加のタイミング を決定するものとしているので、 最小のモータ電流で目標回転速度が得られ る電圧印加タイミングとすることができ、 これによりモータ 2 8の消費電力 を低減できる。 [0066] Further, in this motor-integrated magnetic bearing device, the permanent magnet 2 8aa of the motor rotor 28a is converted to the motor coil of the motor stator 28b by the phase adjustment circuit 38 of the motor controller 38. 2 In the operation of applying a voltage to the motor coil 2 8 ba every time it passes 8 ba, the output of the position sensor 4 3 that detects the angle phase between the motor rotor 2 8 a and the motor stator 2 8 b, the motor status Using the output of the current sensor 4 4 that detects the current flowing through the 2 8 b motor coil 2 8 ba and the output of the speed sensor 4 5 that detects the rotation speed of the motor rotor 2 8 a, The timing of the voltage application by the predetermined processing shown Therefore, the voltage application timing at which the target rotational speed can be obtained with the minimum motor current can be obtained, and the power consumption of the motor 28 can be reduced.
以上のとおり、 図面を参照しながら好適な実施形態を説明したが、 当業者 であれば、 本件明細書をみて、 自明な範囲内で種々の変更および修正を容易 に想定するであろう。 たとえば、 速度センサの代わりに、 回転速度検出手段 を設けること等である。 As described above, the preferred embodiments have been described with reference to the drawings. However, those skilled in the art will readily assume various changes and modifications within the obvious scope by looking at the present specification. For example, instead of a speed sensor, a rotational speed detecting means is provided.
したがって、 そのような変更および修正は、 添付クレームから定まるこの 発明の範囲内のものと解釈される。 Accordingly, such changes and modifications are to be construed as within the scope of the invention as defined by the appended claims.
