TECHNICAL FIELD

The present invention relates to the field of motor noise reduction, and particularly to a denoising optimization method for an AC traction motor based by chamfering a stator tooth shoulder.

BACKGROUND OF THE PRESENT INVENTION

AC traction motors have been widely used in various fields because of the advantages of simple and firm structure, reliable operation, large power and high rotation speed. However, the motor produces loud noise during operation, which not only has an adverse effect on the working environment and human health, but also limits the promotion and application of the motor in certain special fields. Therefore, to study the noise reduction of the motor has great significance.

A main factor causing excessively loud noise of the AC traction motors is electromagnetic noise produced during the operation. For this reason, extensive research has been carried out in China and abroad on how to reduce the electromagnetic noise of the motors, and various methods for reducing the electromagnetic noise have been proposed, including methods of changing a proportion of motor slots, adopting a rotor beveled slot design, changing a length of a motor air gap, improving an assembling process of the motor and optimizing motor control. Although a certain effect is achieved, there is still a long way for meeting the actual noise reduction requirements.

To solve the above technical problems, the present invention provides a denoising optimization method for an AC traction motor by chamfering a stator tooth shoulder.

The technical solution of the present invention for solving the above problems is as follows: a denoising optimization method for an AC traction motor by chamfering a stator tooth shoulder specifically includes:

Taking an angular vertex of a stator tooth shoulder as an end point, obtaining two points equidistantly along two sides of a stator tooth shoulder angle from the end point; and using the two points as tangent points D1 and D2 of the inscribed arc; then making the inscribed arc of the tooth shoulder angle through the two tangent points D1 and D2, cutting off the tooth shoulder angle along the inscribed arc, and adjusting an oblique height H_S1 of a stator tooth pole shoe; and determining the tangent points D1 and D2 of the inscribed arc and the oblique height H_S1 of the stator tooth pole shoe includes the specific steps as follows:

• • 1) determining value ranges of an inscribed arc chamfering size and the oblique height of the stator tooth pole shoe according to a structural size of the stator tooth shoulder of the AC traction motor;
  • 2) selecting n groups of data successively within the value ranges determined in step 1) according to certain spacing for the inscribed arc chamfering size and the oblique height of the stator tooth pole shoe;
  • 3) performing finite-element analysis according to the data of the inscribed arc chamfering size and the oblique height of the stator tooth pole shoe determined in the step 2) to obtain corresponding electromagnetic noise and efficiency data of the motor;
  • 4) performing value fitting for the electromagnetic noise and efficiency obtained in the step 3) and corresponding data of the inscribed arc chamfering size and oblique height of the stator tooth pole shoe to respectively obtain function relations ƒ_s(x,y) and ƒ_e(x,y) between the electromagnetic noise and the inscribed arc chamfering size and the oblique height of the stator tooth pole shoe and between the efficiency and the inscribed arc chamfering size and the oblique height of the stator tooth pole shoe;
  • 5) by taking the inscribed arc tooth shoulder chamfering size and the oblique height of the stator tooth pole shoe as an optimization object and taking electromagnetic noise and efficiency of the motor as an optimization target, performing multi-target optimization for the noise function ƒ_s(x,y) and the efficiency function ƒ_e(x,y) by adopting a particle swarm optimization algorithm to obtain optimal values of the inscribed arc tooth shoulder chamfering size and oblique height of the stator tooth pole shoe.

In the above denoising optimization method for the AC traction motor by chamfering the stator tooth shoulder, the function relations ƒ_s(x,y) and ƒ_e(x,y) between the electromagnetic noise and the inscribed arc chamfering size and the oblique height of the stator tooth pole shoe and between the efficiency and the inscribed arc chamfering size and the oblique height of the stator tooth pole shoe obtained in the step 4) are specifically as follows:

• • (1) The function relation between the electromagnetic noise and the inscribed arc chamfering size and the oblique height of the stator tooth pole shoe is:ƒ_s(x,y)=a₀₀+a₁₀x+a₀₁y+a₂₀x²+a₁₁xy+a₀₂y²+a₃₀x³+a₂₁x²y+a₁₂xy²+a₀₃y³+a₄₀x⁴+a₃₁x³y+a₂₂x²y²+a₁₃xy³+a₀₄y⁴
  • (2) The function relation between the efficiency and the inscribed arc chamfering size and the oblique height of the stator tooth pole shoe is:ƒ_e(x,y)=b₀₀+b₁₀x+b₀₁y In the equations: ƒ_s(x,y) and ƒ_e(x,y) are the noise function and the efficiency function respectively; x is the inscribed arc chamfering size, y is the oblique height of the stator tooth pole shoe, x<H_S0 and y<H_S1; a₀₀, a₁₀, a₀₁, a₂₀, a₁₁, a₀₂, a₃₀, a₂₁, a₁₂, a₀₃, a₄₀, a₃₁, a₂₂, a₁₃ and a₀₄ are coefficients of the electromagnetic noise function respectively, and b₀₀, b₁₀ and b₀₁ are coefficients of the efficiency function respectively.

• • Step (1): initializing particle swarm parameters: determining a population size M, a memory pool size N, a particle vector dimension D and maximum iteration times k_max, and randomly initializing a particle position and speed;
  • Step (2): calculating a fitness value and updating a Pareto set: inputting various particle vectors into an electromagnetic noise and efficiency model of the AC traction motor to obtain the fitness value of the particle, i.e. the electromagnetic noise and efficiency data of the AC traction motor, calculating an individual extreme value, and storing a superior solution into the Pareto set;
  • Step (3): updating the individual extreme value and a global extreme value: comparing the current fitness value of the particle with the fitness extreme value of the individual extreme value of the particle, and if the current fitness value of the particle is less than the fitness value of the individual extreme value of the particle, the current position of the particle becomes a new individual extreme value of the particle; and selecting a global optimal extreme value of the particle from the Pareto solution set;
  • Step (4): updating the particle speed and position;
  • Step (5): judging whether the iteration times reaches a maximum value; if the iteration times reaches the maximum value, outputting the Pareto set; otherwise, returning to step (2);
  • Step (6): selecting an optimal solution: removing solutions with the efficiency less than the initial efficiency of the motor in the Pareto solution set, calculating an evaluation value of the surplus solutions by constructing a decision weight function, and selecting the optimal solution according to the evaluation value, thereby obtaining the optimal values of the inscribed arc tooth shoulder chamfering size and the oblique height of the stator tooth pole shoe.

In the above method for reducing the noise and chamfering the stator tooth shoulder of the AC traction motor based on the inscribed arc, the decision weight function g(x,y) constructed in the step (6) is specifically as follows:g(x,y)=k₁ƒ_s(x,y)+k₂ƒ_e(x,y)In the equation, g(x,y) is the decision weight function; ƒ_s(x,y) and ƒ_e(x,y) are the noise function and the efficiency function respectively; and k₁ is a weight coefficient of the noise function, k₂ is a weight coefficient of the efficiency function, and k₁+k₂=1.

The present invention has the beneficial effects: inscribed arc-type chamfering treatment is proposed for the stator tooth shoulder of the AC traction motor in the present invention. The present invention obtains optimal values of the chamfering size and the oblique height of the stator tooth slot pole shoe by adjusting the oblique height of the stator tooth pole shoe and adopting the particle swarm optimization algorithm, thereby achieving a purpose of not only improving the operation efficiency of the motor, but also effectively reducing the electromagnetic noise of the motor.
