The invention discloses a
transverse flux switching
reluctance motor and a control method thereof. The motor section comprises
stator cores, rotor cores,
stator windings, non-magnetic rotor sleeves and bearings. A
stator comprises Ns stator cores and Ns circular armature windings embedded in the stator core structures, Ns stator windings can be in symmetrically grouping at the circumference, composing an m-phase winding, wherein Ns=2mk, k is an arbitrary integer greater than 1. A rotor comprises Nr rotor cores, and each rotor core is uniformly disposed on the non-magnetic rotor sleeve at the circumference, wherein Nr=Ns+ / -2k. Each phase of winding is independently energized with
direct current in sequence according to the calculated conduction and the
extinction angle, forming a
reluctance torque of the motor to drive the rotation of the motor. The
transverse flux motor is composed of the arrangement of the stator and the rotor and the main flux path, making the inexistence of mutual
inductance in the motor. Furthermore, combined with
electrification sequence and method of each phase of the winding of the motor, the change of the reluctance of motor for driving of the rotation of motor is achieved, and the
power density of motor is raised.
