The present invention belongs to the technical field of permanent magnet motors, and more specifically, relates to a permanent magnet motor topological construction method based on working magnetic field harmonic orientation and a motor.
Since the advent of the first electric motor in the 19th century, electric motors have become an indispensable industrial category of machines that supports the modern society of mankind. From large turbine generators with a single unit capacity of several thousand megawatts to micro motors as low as a few microwatts, motors are widely used in all aspects of the national economy. With the rising tide of alternate electrification and the continuous development in industrial robots, chip manufacturing, CNC machine tools and other manufacturing areas, motors play a critical role; meanwhile this has higher requirements in certain performance qualities, such as torque density, response speed, torque ripple, and the like. In this regard, high torque density has always been a main goal of motor development. It is of great significance for reducing the volume and cost of the drive system, and improving the response speed.
Traditional motors generally rely on a single working magnetic field to generate torques. Thus, an increase in torque density is limited by material properties. The structure of the vernier permanent magnet motor is similar to that of a traditional motor. However, since it is designed based on the principle of magnetic field modulation, in which two working magnetic fields are used for electromechanical energy conversion to generate torque, a high torque density can be achieved. At present, when designing motors, the designs of permanent magnet rotors, stators, armature windings and other structures in the motors are all limited within the framework of traditional topological structures. As a result, the improvement of performance needs to be achieved through repeated optimization of certain structural parameters. The design process is irregular and has high contingency in the design. Hence, it is difficult to realize the topology innovation of the motor and the improvement of the torque density.
In view of the defects and the improvement needs in the existing technology, the present invention provides a permanent magnet motor topological construction method based on the working magnetic field harmonic orientation and a motor. One object of the present invention is to combine the harmonic characteristics of the windings with initial phase, pole arc coefficient of the target working magnetic field and other parameters to quantitatively design the geometric dimensions of the motor modulation tooth array, so as to achieve that the phase of each permeance harmonic is consistent with the given value. In addition, the effective working magnetic field can be maximized by means of further structural optimization. In this way, the present invention solves the problems in the existing technology, including irregular qualitative design of permanent magnet motors and that it is difficult to achieve motor topological innovation and torque density improvement.
In order to achieve the above object, according to one aspect of the present invention, a permanent magnet motor topological construction method based on a harmonic orientation of a working magnetic field is provided, the permanent magnet motor comprises a stator wound with a winding, a permanent magnet array, a rotor, and a modulation tooth array, the method comprises: S1, calculating an initial phase θgv of each air gap working magnetic field Bgv required to generate positive back electromotive force (EMF) based on a winding coefficient kwv, an initial phase θsv and a rotation direction sgn of each armature harmonic vth in a design target, wherein each of the air gap working magnetic fields Bgv is generated by the permanent magnet array; S2, with generating each of the air gap working magnetic fields Bgv as a design target, calculating a phase θmv corresponding to each permeance harmonic; and with maximizing a sum of equivalent air gap magnetic density amplitude Beqv of each of the air gap working magnetic fields Bgv as a design target, calculating a pole arc coefficient αv of each of the permeance harmonics, wherein each of the permeance harmonics is generated by the modulation tooth array; S3, designing a number, a position(s) and a length(s) along a circumference of modulation teeth corresponding to each of the permeance harmonics based on the phase θmv and the pole arc coefficient αv of each of the permeance harmonics, such that a generated permeance model is consistent with the phase θmv of each permeance harmonic as designed in S2; and S4, optimizing radial dimensions of modulation teeth corresponding to each of the permeance harmonics, so as to maximize the sum of equivalent air gap magnetic density amplitude Beqv of each of the air gap working magnetic fields Bgv.

It should be understood that the specific embodiments described here are only used to explain the present invention, but do not limit the present invention. In addition, the technical features involved in various embodiments of the present invention described below can be combined with each other as long as they do not conflict with each other.

Operation S1, calculate an initial phase θgv of each air gap working magnetic field Bgv required to generate a positive back EMF based on a winding coefficient kwv, an initial phase θsv and a rotation direction sgn of each armature harmonic vth in a design target, wherein each air gap working magnetic field Bgv is generated by the permanent magnet array.
The permanent magnet motor includes a stator 3 wound with a winding 2, a permanent magnet array 5, a rotor 4, a modulation tooth array 1 and a rotating shaft 6. Specifically, for example, the rotor, the stator, and the rotating shaft are sleeved coaxially in sequence from the outside to the inside, or the stator and the rotor shafts are sleeved coaxially in sequence from the outside to the inside. An air gap is formed between the rotor and the stator. A permanent magnet array is embedded on the rotor near the air gap surface. A modulation tooth array is arranged on the stator near the air gap surface; alternatively, the stator has a permanent magnet array embedded near the air gap surface, and the rotor near the air gap surface is provided with a modulation tooth array. The stator teeth are wound with coils. The specific coils are further connected in series or in parallel to form a phase winding. In this embodiment, as shown in
Prior to performing the operation of S1, a central axis of a phase winding is regarded as an initial position, according to the structural characteristics of the winding, the information including winding coefficient kwv, the initial phase θsv, and the rotation direction sgn of each armature harmonic vth can be determined. In this embodiment, that the number of pole pairs is 1 is defined as a fundamental harmonic, accordingly the armature harmonic vth corresponds to v pole pairs. The winding coefficient kwv is:
kwv=kyv·kdv·ksv
in which kyv is a pitch coefficient, kdv is a distribution coefficient, ksv is a slotting coefficient; the rotation direction sgn is determined by a winding phase number m and a armature harmonic order v. In this embodiment, counterclockwise is designated as the forward (positive) rotation direction, where sgn=+1; and clockwise is designated as the reverse (negative) rotation direction, where sgn=−1.
In this embodiment, the number of pole pairs of the permanent magnets of the rotor is set as a single harmonic Pr1=20. The winding adopts a single-layer concentrated winding. The central axis of the phase A winding is taken as the initial position 0, the span mechanical angle θ0 of a single coil is set as 15°. The above setting is taken as an example, the winding coefficient kwv, the initial phase θsv and the rotation direction sgn of the armature harmonics of the single-layer concentrated are shown in Table 1 below.
Further, based on the obtained winding coefficient kwv, initial phase θsv, and rotation direction sgn, the initial phase θgv of each air gap working magnetic field Bgv required to generate the positive back EMF can be obtained through reverse deduction. In this embodiment, the no-load counter electromagnetic force E1 of the motor is as follows:
in which Dg is the diameter corresponding to the air gap of the motor; L is the effective shaft length of the motor; Ns is the number of turns of the phase winding in series; ωm is the mechanical rotational angular velocity of the rotor; sgn(v) is the rotation direction of the air gap working magnetic field Bgv; Pr is the number of pole pairs of the permanent magnet array; t is time; v is the order of the air gap working flux density; Beqv is an equivalent flux density amplitude obtained in a process of simplifying the expression of the no-load back EMF, including the amplitude of the vth air gap flux density, the vth winding coefficient, and a constant Pr/v.
In order to make all working magnetic fields contribute positive back EMF, the above formula of the no-load back EMF E1 reflects that the back EMF contributed by each air gap working magnetic field Bgv has the same phase φv. In this regard, in the embodiment of the present invention, in operation S1, the initial phase θgv can be calculated according to the same phase φv of the back EMF generated by each air gap working magnetic field Bgv, and the phase φv of the counter electromagnetic force is as follows:
in which, sgn(v) is the rotation direction of the air gap working magnetic field Bgv. For the example shown in Table 1, the initial phase θgv can be calculated according to φ2=φ4=φ8=φ10=φ14=φ16=φ20=φ22, and the initial phase θgv of each air gap working magnetic field Bgv obtained is as shown in Table 2 below.
Operation S2, with generating each air gap working magnetic field Bgv as a design target, calculate a phase θmv of each corresponding permeance harmonic; and with maximizing a sum of equivalent air gap flux density amplitude Beqv of each air gap working magnetic field Bgv as a design target, calculate a pole arc coefficient αv of each permeance harmonic, and each permeance harmonic is generated by the modulation tooth array.
The air gap working magnetic field of a vernier permanent magnet motor can be obtained by the product of the magnet-motive force (MMF) function and the permeance function. In this embodiment, the air gap working magnetic field B is as follows:
After further expansion, the air gap working magnetic field B is as follows:
in which, F1 is the fundamental excitation MMF of the permanent magnet, Λs0 is the constant component of an air gap permeance function, θ is the spatial mechanical angular position, θr1 is the initial electrical angle of the fundamental excitation MMF of the permanent magnet, Λsj is the jth harmonic component of the air gap permeance function, θmj is the initial electrical angle of Λsj. On the basis of the initial phase θgv of each air gap working magnetic field Bgv obtained in operation S1, the corresponding phase θmv of each permeance harmonic can be derived therefrom. In addition, certain simulation software can be used to simulate and optimize the pole arc coefficient αv of each permeance harmonic. The optimization goal is to maximize the sum of the equivalent air gap flux density amplitude Beqv of each air gap working magnetic field Bgv, so as to obtain the optimal pole arc coefficient αv. Still taking the permanent magnet motor in Table 1 and Table 2 as an example, the phase θmv and pole arc coefficient αv obtained are shown in Table 3 below.
Operation S3, design a number, a position(s) and a length(s) along a circumference of modulation teeth corresponding to each permeance harmonic based on the phase θmv and the pole arc coefficient αv of each permeance harmonic, such that a generated permeance model is consistent with the phase θmv of each permeance harmonic as designed in S2.
In operation S3, a specific modulation tooth array structure is constructed according to the phase θmv and pole arc coefficient αv of each permeance harmonic. This structure is the initial structure of the modulation tooth array. Taking the information obtained in Table 3 as an example, the initial structure of the constructed modulation tooth array is shown in

The initial structure of the modulation tooth array can be further optimized in detail to maximize the amplitude of the working magnetic field. The optimization target is to modulate the radial length of the tooth array. In combination with the simulation software, the optimization target is to maximize the sum of the equivalent air gap flux density amplitude Beqv of each air gap working magnetic field Bgv. The structure of the modulation tooth array obtained after the optimization is shown in
