[0019] In order to make the purpose, technical scheme and advantages of the embodiments of the present application clearer, the technical scheme in the embodiments of the present application will be described clearly and completely below with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are part of the embodiments of the present application, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative labor fall within the scope of protection of the present application.

[0020] Referring to Figure 1 The surface-mounted permanent magnet motor pole optimization design method disclosed by the present application mainly includes four steps of S1, S2, S3 and S4.

[0021] The step S1 is specifically as follows.

[0022] S1.1, finite element parameterized modeling of permanent magnet motor: taking the pole arc coefficient, pole eccentricity and permanent magnet thickness in the form of parameters as the permanent magnet pole design variable, the permanent magnet motor stator and rotor geometric model is parameterized modeled.

[0023] S1.2, within the range of geometric dimensions, determine the optimization interval of the design variable, i.e. the maximum and minimum values of the permanent magnet pole design variable that meet the geometric size requirements, which should ensure that there is no cross, out-of-boundary, etc. problem in the permanent magnet motor pole model, the maximum and minimum values of the permanent magnet pole design variable need to be brought into the permanent magnet motor stator-rotor geometric model to check the correctness of the geometric model; if the model has no cross, no out-of-boundary, etc. situation, the maximum and minimum values are appropriate, otherwise the maximum and minimum values need to be redefined.

[0024] S1.3, parameterized scanning calculation of permanent magnet pole design variables: respectively using transient electromagnetic field and static electromagnetic field, the permanent magnet pole design variables are scanned and calculated according to equal interval, so as to obtain the corresponding target variables, i.e. electromagnetic torque, electromagnetic torque ripple, power factor and no-load air gap flux density. In order to improve the calculation efficiency, the design variable is taken in a relatively wide interval range according to the design experience.

[0025] The finite element preliminary scanning calculation of permanent magnet pole design variables mainly uses maxwell, ansysEM, magnet and other software to parameterize the modeling of permanent magnet motor, sets the maximum, minimum range and calculation interval of the design variables (pole arc coefficient, pole eccentricity and permanent magnet thickness), and respectively uses transient finite element and static finite element to complete the calculation of load electromagnetic torque, load electromagnetic torque ripple, power factor and no-load air gap flux density.

[0026] S2, according to the results of the finite element preliminary scanning calculation of permanent magnet pole design variables, a comparison table of design variables and target variables is established, and the designer preliminarily determines the range of design variables according to the size of target variables, i.e. electromagnetic torque, electromagnetic torque ripple, power factor and no-load air gap flux density.

[0027] S3, finite element refined scanning calculation of permanent magnet pole design variables: according to the refined range of design variables, the pole arc coefficient, pole eccentricity and permanent magnet thickness of permanent magnet pole design variables are again scanned and calculated according to equal interval, so as to obtain the values of the corresponding target variables, i.e. electromagnetic torque, electromagnetic torque ripple, power factor and no-load air gap flux density.

[0028] Step S3 is to refine the parameterized scanning calculation of the design variables according to the range of the design variables in step S2, so as to obtain the corresponding target variables, i.e. electromagnetic torque, electromagnetic torque ripple, power factor and no-load air gap flux density.

[0029] The steps S1 and S3 can be realized by using Maxwell, AnsysEM and Magnet finite element software.

[0030] S4, determining the final optimization scheme based on the target variable: according to the finite element refinement scanning calculation results of the permanent magnet pole design variable, a comparison table of the design variable and the target variable is established, that is, a comparison table of the electromagnetic torque, the electromagnetic torque ripple, the power factor and the no-load air gap magnetic flux density, and the designer selects the final optimization scheme based on the principle that the electromagnetic torque, the no-load air gap magnetic flux density, the electromagnetic torque ripple and the power factor meet the design requirement range while taking into account the need for reasonable permanent magnet motor structure design.

[0031] The comparison table of the design variable and the target variable involved in steps S2 and S4 is established by using software such as python or Matlab after data loading, and the scheme range is determined by viewing the scheme through a scroll bar. The determination of the design variable refinement range based on the target variable is mainly aimed at the finite element preliminary scanning calculation results of the permanent magnet pole design variable, and the calculation results are loaded into software such as python and matlab to form an optimization result list as shown in Figure 2 The designer determines the permanent magnet pole design variable refinement range by comparison. The designer determines the final optimization scheme according to the target value of the target variable (load electromagnetic torque, load electromagnetic torque ripple, power factor and no-load air gap magnetic flux density) and the feasibility of the structure design.

[0032] The above examples only exemplarily illustrate the principles and effects of the present application, and part of the applied examples, and those skilled in the art can make several modifications and improvements without departing from the concept of the present application, which all belong to the protection scope of the present application.
