TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The application relates to the technical field of permanent magnet motor design, in particular to a pole-slot matching optimization method and system suitable for a bidirectional modulation permanent magnet vernier motor, and aims to improve the motor torque output performance by optimizing the pole-slot matching. BACKGROUND
[0002] The permanent magnet vernier motor is a new type of special motor based on the principle of magnetic field modulation. It usually adopts a "single-side permanent magnet" structure, that is, permanent magnets are only arranged on one side of the rotor, and the other side is a stator core and an armature winding. The modulation effect generated by the slotting of the stator makes the stator armature magnetic field harmonic and the rotor permanent magnetic field synchronous interaction, realizes the operation characteristics of "low speed and large torque" and "direct drive", and is very suitable for direct drive occasions such as electric vehicles, wind power generation, servo drive and aerospace, which require high torque density, high efficiency and do not need a speed reducer. Compared with the traditional permanent magnet synchronous motor, the permanent magnet vernier motor can output higher torque under the same volume, and has great application potential.
[0003] In order to further improve the torque output capacity of the motor, on the basis of the existing structure, permanent magnets are placed at the stator slot opening, the "N pole-S pole" structure of the rotor permanent magnet is changed into the "N pole-iron pole" structure, the permanent magnetic field of the stator and rotor is bidirectionally modulated, and larger torque is output. However, improper selection of pole-slot matching will make the stator permanent magnetic field and the armature harmonic magnetic field unable to effectively couple, resulting in that the output torque is lower than the design expectation, the investment in cost and material of the double-sided permanent magnet structure loses its significance, and the torque density cannot be improved. At the same time, improper matching often excites a large number of non-working harmonics. The interaction of these harmonics will aggravate the torque ripple. This not only causes the motor to run unstably, affects the control accuracy, but also produces additional vibration and electromagnetic noise, so that the motor cannot be applied to occasions with high smoothness requirements. Therefore, it is very important to select a reasonable pole-slot matching scheme for the bidirectional modulation permanent magnet vernier motor. SUMMARY
