Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application belongs to the field of bearing radial detection, and specifically relates to a pure electromagnetic bearing radial displacement self-detection device with a dual-coil structure. Background Art

[0002] Magnetic bearings offer unparalleled advantages over mechanical bearings in terms of improving mechanical efficiency and reducing noise pollution. Compared to traditional mechanical bearings, magnetic bearings require no lubrication, have a wider range of applications, and offer adjustable bearing stiffness and damping, making them more suitable for high-speed environments. However, magnetic bearing systems are unstable in open-loop operation and require constant rotor position information to the controller for stable control. The installation of traditional discrete physical sensors increases the size of the entire electromechanical equipment, affecting the dynamic characteristics of the rotor. They are also expensive and susceptible to uncertainties such as high temperature, aging, short circuits, and open circuits, reducing system reliability. Displacement self-sensing technology can significantly improve system reliability.

[0003] Displacement self-sensing technology uses the current or voltage of the magnetic bearing coils to calculate rotor position information through software algorithms. Active pure electromagnetic bearing displacement self-sensing can be categorized into state estimation, frequency modulation, and amplitude modulation. The state estimation method is sensitive to parameter changes and suffers from poor robustness. The displacement feedback signal estimated by the frequency modulation method suffers from significant phase lag, and the bandwidth of the self-sensing system is low. When high-frequency components are present in the input or feedback signals, the narrow pulses generated by the hysteresis power amplifier can interfere with the drive circuit, easily causing output current distortion and severely impacting the amplifier's efficiency and reliability. The amplitude modulation method can be implemented using high-frequency signal injection or switching ripple detection. However, the choice of high-frequency excitation signal frequency is limited by the amplifier's bandwidth, resulting in poor dynamic characteristics of the self-sensing system. The switching ripple demodulation method introduces nonlinearity due to the PWM duty cycle of the control current, which can easily distort the rotor displacement and cause control system instability. Typically, the PWM drive voltage and current are sampled separately, followed by hardware or software division to eliminate the effects of nonlinearity. However, this system architecture is complex and the hardware cost is high. Summary of the Invention

[0004] This application aims to address the shortcomings of existing technologies by proposing a dual-coil structured, purely electromagnetic bearing radial displacement self-detection device.
