Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of thermal management, and particularly to a method, device, vehicle, medium and program for calculating the temperature field of an electric motor. Background Art

[0002] Electric motors are increasingly widely used in the field of new energy vehicles, and their characteristics such as high efficiency and high power density are highly favored. However, due to the temperature sensitivity of the insulation materials and permanent magnets of electric motors, the problems of temperature rise and heat dissipation have become the key factors restricting their application and development. Although oil cooling technology has improved the cooling efficiency, it has also increased the difficulty of predicting the temperature rise of electric motors.

[0003] Currently, the calculation methods for the temperature rise of electric motors mainly include the one-dimensional thermal network method and the three-dimensional finite element method. However, although the three-dimensional finite element method can calculate the detailed temperature field of electric motor components, due to the complexity of the direct contact between the cooling oil of the electric motor and the windings and the internal air of the motor, the mesh generation is difficult and the calculation amount is large, making it difficult to meet the requirements of rapid iterative prediction. The one-dimensional thermal network method can quickly calculate the temperature value of the electric motor, but the modeling process is simple and cannot reflect the complex heat transfer characteristics inside the electric motor, resulting in large defects in the calculation results.

[0004] In the related art, the publication number CN116720305A proposes a method for calculating the internal temperature rise of an electric motor and its electronic control components in a new energy vehicle, which performs modeling and calculation through equivalent mass thermal resistance and fluidics software. Although the calculation efficiency is improved to a certain extent, it is impossible to calculate the temperature value at any position of the electric motor components and the temperature field of multiphase media. At the same time, the calculation process overly relies on empirical formulas, reducing the accuracy and reliability of the calculation results. Summary of the Invention

Detailed Embodiments

[0065] The embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and preferred embodiments. Those skilled in the art can easily understand the other advantages and effects of the present invention from the content disclosed in this specification. The present invention can also be implemented or applied through other different specific embodiments. Various details in this specification can also be modified or changed based on different viewpoints and applications without departing from the spirit of the present invention. It should be understood that the preferred embodiments are only for explaining the present invention, rather than limiting the protection scope of the present invention.

[0066] It should be noted that the diagrams provided in the following embodiments only illustrate the basic concept of the present invention in a schematic manner. Therefore, only the components related to the present invention are shown in the diagrams, rather than being drawn according to the number, shape, and size of the components in actual implementation. The type, quantity, and ratio of each component in actual implementation can be arbitrarily changed, and the component layout type may also be more complex.

[0067] Motors, such as oil-cooled motors, etc., are increasingly used in the field of new energy vehicles due to their high efficiency, high power density, high torque density, and high control precision. However, because the insulating materials and permanent magnets of the motor are sensitive to temperature, the working performance and lifespan of the motor will be reduced, making the temperature rise and heat dissipation problems the key factors restricting its further development.

[0068] Oil cooling changes the indirect heat transfer of water cooling to direct contact between oil and components, greatly improving the cooling efficiency. However, at the same time, it increases the difficulty and accuracy of motor temperature rise prediction. Therefore, how to quickly and accurately predict and calculate the temperature rise of the motor and its components has become an urgent problem for current developers to solve.

[0069] Currently, the calculation methods for motor temperature rise mainly include the one-dimensional thermal network method and the three-dimensional finite element method, but each method has its limitations. The finite element method can accurately calculate the temperature field values of motor components, but the special structure of the motor makes the mesh generation difficult and the calculation amount huge, making it difficult to meet the development requirements of rapid iteration. The thermal network method, although fast in calculation speed and having a certain accuracy, has an overly simplified modeling process and cannot reflect the actual temperature distribution of motor components, resulting in large errors in the calculation results.

[0070] In the related art, a method for calculating the internal temperature rise of a new energy vehicle motor and its electronic control components is proposed in the publication number CN116720305A. It attempts to model the motor and components by using an equivalent mass thermal resistance similar to a thermal network, calculates the heat generation of macroscopic components through a fluidics software, applies the component heat generation to an equivalent mass block to obtain the temperature of equivalent units through one-dimensional calculation, and proposes an empirical formula when calculating the temperature, and uses this empirical formula to correct the temperature. There are the following problems with this method: (1) It is impossible to calculate the temperature values at any position of the entire motor component, highly dependent on the number of mass thermal resistance blocks, and it is difficult to guarantee the accuracy; (2) It is difficult to calculate the temperature field of multi-phase media existing inside the motor, and multi-phase fluid media play a decisive role in the motor heat transfer temperature calculation; (3) The calculation process depends on the empirical formula, calibrates the thermal resistance between mass blocks by using direct measured temperature values, and the conduction thermal resistance and convection thermal resistance cannot be directly calculated, which affects the accuracy of the calculation results to a certain extent.

[0071] Specifically, Figure 1 FIG. is a schematic flow chart of a method for calculating the motor temperature field provided by an embodiment of the present invention.

[0072] As Figure 1 shown, the method for calculating the motor temperature field includes the following steps:

[0073] In step S101, the structural relationships of the various components of the motor are obtained.

[0074] Among them, the structural relationship may be the relative positions and connection methods between the various components of the motor. For example, the relationship between the stator and the rotor, the relationship between the winding and the iron core, etc. The motor in the embodiment of the present application may be an oil-cooled motor, etc., which can be selected according to the actual situation and is not specifically limited.

[0075] It can be understood that by obtaining the structural relationships of the various components of the motor in the embodiment of the present invention, data support is provided for establishing an accurate temperature simulation model, which helps to accurately predict and evaluate the temperature field distribution of the motor, and provides strong technical support for the optimal design and operation of the motor.

[0076] In step S102, a one-dimensional temperature simulation model and a three-dimensional heat flow simulation model of the motor are established according to the structural relationships, and a coupling model is established according to the structural relationships, the one-dimensional temperature simulation model and the three-dimensional heat flow simulation model, where the coupling model is used for the mutual mapping and transfer of parameters between the one-dimensional temperature simulation model and the three-dimensional heat flow simulation model.

[0077] Among them, as Figure 2As shown, the one-dimensional temperature simulation model may include the motor housing heat capacity modules 11-13, 91, 92, the stator yoke heat capacity modules 21-23, the stator tooth heat capacity modules 31-33, the winding heat capacity modules 41-45, the rotor heat capacity modules 51-53, the permanent magnet heat capacity modules 61-63, the shaft heat capacity modules 71-75, 81-85, and the cooling oil circuit. The three-dimensional heat flow simulation model may include a finite element mesh model and a fluid-structure simulation model. Among them, the finite element mesh model is a model obtained by macro-meshing each component of the motor, and the fluid-structure simulation model is a calculation model for the heat transfer coefficient between the cooling oil of the motor and the solid components.

[0078] It can be understood that in the embodiments of the present invention, by combining one-dimensional temperature simulation and three-dimensional heat flow simulation and establishing a coupling model for parameter transfer, it is possible to significantly improve the accuracy of temperature field prediction while ensuring efficient calculation, and at the same time effectively reduce the dependence on empirical formulas, making the calculation results more reliable. Among them, the one-dimensional temperature simulation model can quickly calculate the temperature rise values of each component of the motor, providing basic data for the overall thermal performance analysis; while the three-dimensional heat flow simulation model can detailedly simulate the complex heat transfer process between multiple phases of the medium inside the motor, so as to obtain a more realistic temperature field distribution. By establishing a coupling model, the mutual mapping transfer of parameters between the one-dimensional temperature simulation and the three-dimensional heat flow simulation is realized, so as to obtain a more accurate and comprehensive temperature field prediction result, enabling it to cope with different design requirements and application scenarios.

[0079] It should be noted that the finite element mesh model is obtained by macro-meshing each component of the motor, which can finely describe the internal structural characteristics of the motor, so as to more accurately simulate the heat transfer process inside the motor; while the fluid-structure simulation model can calculate the heat transfer coefficient between the cooling oil of the motor and the solid components, and can accurately simulate the heat exchange process between the cooling oil and the solid components, providing key parameters for the overall temperature field prediction.

[0080] In the embodiments of the present invention, a coupling model is established according to the structural relationship, the one-dimensional temperature simulation model, and the three-dimensional heat flow simulation model, and further includes: binding the grids of the finite element mesh model to the boundary module of the one-dimensional temperature simulation model according to the structural relationship, and determining the mapping relationship between the heat transfer coefficient of the fluid-structure simulation model and the input conditions of the boundary module according to the structural relationship; establishing a coupling model according to the bound grids and the boundary model and the mapping relationship.

[0081] Among them, the boundary module may be a part of the one-dimensional temperature simulation model, representing the interface between the model and the external environment.

[0082] It can be understood that in the embodiments of the present invention, the grid of the finite element mesh model is bound to the boundary module of the one-dimensional temperature simulation model according to the structural relationship, ensuring that the boundary conditions in the one-dimensional temperature simulation model can be accurately mapped to the corresponding grids in the three-dimensional model, thereby achieving the consistency of the model in terms of boundary conditions. The one-dimensional temperature simulation model can provide accurate boundary conditions for the three-dimensional heat flow simulation model, enabling the three-dimensional model to more realistically simulate the heat transfer process inside the motor. At the same time, in the embodiments of the present invention, the mapping relationship between the heat transfer coefficient of the fluid-solid simulation model and the input conditions of the boundary module is determined according to the structural relationship, ensuring that the heat transfer coefficient in the fluid-solid simulation model can be dynamically adjusted according to the boundary conditions of the one-dimensional temperature simulation model, so as to more accurately reflect the heat exchange process between the cooling oil and the solid components.

[0083] In the embodiments of the present invention, a one-dimensional temperature simulation model of the motor is established according to the structural relationship, including: obtaining the body models and dimensional parameters of each component of the motor; establishing a one-dimensional temperature simulation model of the motor according to the body models, structural relationship and dimensional parameters of each component of the motor.

[0084] Among them, the body models of each component of the motor may include a housing model, a stator model, a rotor model, a shaft model and an oil circuit model, and the dimensional parameters may refer to the specific dimensional data of each component, such as length, width, height, diameter, etc.

[0085] It can be understood that in the embodiments of the present invention, by obtaining the body models and dimensional parameters of each component of the motor, a one-dimensional temperature simulation model of the motor is established, which is convenient for quickly calculating the temperature rise values of each component of the motor according to the heat conduction relationship between each component of the motor.

[0086] For example, the dimensional structure and relationship of the motor three-dimensional digital model are analyzed, and the relationship between the analyzed motor components and the oil circuit is as Figure 3 shown. The analyzed structural model includes a housing model, a stator model, a rotor model, a shaft model and an oil circuit model.

[0087] In the embodiments of the present invention, the stator iron loss, stator copper loss and rotor iron loss are used as the heat sources of the corresponding heat capacity modules in the one-dimensional temperature simulation model.

[0088] Among them, the stator iron loss may be the energy loss generated in the stator core of the motor due to the change of the magnetic field, the stator copper loss may be the resistance loss generated in the stator winding of the motor due to the current flowing through the conductor, the rotor iron loss may be the energy loss generated in the rotor core of the motor due to the change of the magnetic field, and the heat source may be the source of heat generation.

[0089] It can be understood that in the embodiments of the present invention, by taking the stator iron loss, stator copper loss, and rotor iron loss as the heat sources of the corresponding heat capacity modules in the one-dimensional temperature simulation model, the heat generation of each component inside the motor during actual operation can be more accurately simulated. By taking the losses as heat sources, the heat transfer path and heat dissipation process inside the motor can be analyzed, and thus the thermal interaction and thermal balance state between the components of the motor can be evaluated, improving the thermal performance of the motor.

[0090] In step S103, identify the temperature rise values of each component of the motor calculated by the one-dimensional temperature simulation model and the heat transfer coefficient of the three-dimensional heat flow simulation model among the mutually mapped and transferred parameters, and generate the coupling parameters of the parameter transfer coupling model based on the temperature rise values and the heat transfer coefficient.

[0091] Among them, the temperature rise value can be the temperature change amount of each component of the motor calculated by the one-dimensional temperature simulation model, the heat transfer coefficient can be the parameter used to describe the heat transfer efficiency between the fluid and the solid in the three-dimensional heat flow simulation model, and the coupling parameter can be the common parameter used to connect the one-dimensional temperature simulation model and the three-dimensional heat flow simulation model in the parameter transfer coupling model.

[0092] It can be understood that the temperature rise values of each component of the motor calculated by the one-dimensional temperature simulation model in the embodiments of the present invention reflect the temperature changes of each component of the motor under specific working conditions, and the heat transfer coefficient of the three-dimensional heat flow simulation model reflects the heat exchange efficiency between the cooling oil and the motor components. By accurately calculating the heat transfer coefficient, it helps to more precisely simulate the heat transfer process inside the motor, thereby obtaining a more realistic temperature field distribution. Generating the coupling parameters of the parameter transfer coupling model based on the temperature rise values and the heat transfer coefficient can achieve data sharing and mutual supplementation between the one-dimensional temperature simulation and the three-dimensional heat flow simulation, not only considering the overall thermal performance of the motor but also simulating the heat transfer process inside the motor. By continuously adjusting and optimizing the coupling parameters, more accurate and comprehensive temperature field prediction results can be obtained.

[0093] In the embodiments of the present invention, before identifying the temperature rise values of each component of the motor calculated by the one-dimensional temperature simulation model and the heat transfer coefficient of the three-dimensional heat flow simulation model among the mutually mapped and transferred parameters, it further includes: identifying the current working condition of the motor; solving the heat balance equation of the one-dimensional temperature simulation model under the current working condition to obtain the temperature rise values of each component of the motor, where the heat balance equation is:

[0094]

[0095]

[0096]

[0097]

[0098] Among them, c 1i is the heat capacity of the node component, ρ 1i is the density of the node component, V 1i is the volume of the node component, is the temperature value of the node component, is the axial thermal conduction resistance of the node, is the radial thermal conduction resistance of the node, is the convective equivalent thermal resistance of the node, Q k(k=1~9) (t) is the heat flux of the node, and A is the contact area.

[0099] It can be understood that in the embodiments of the present invention, by identifying the current working condition of the motor and solving the one-dimensional temperature simulation model based on this working condition, the temperature rise of each component of the motor can be monitored in real time, which helps to evaluate the thermal performance and state of the motor during real-time operation, ensure that the motor operates within a safe range, and by calculating the temperature rise values of each component, abnormal temperature rise situations can be detected in time, and the occurrence of faults can be warned in advance, thereby prolonging the service life of the motor.

[0100] In the embodiments of the present invention, identifying the current working condition of the motor includes: obtaining the inlet and outlet water temperatures and inlet and outlet water flow rates of the coolant circuit of the motor, the inlet and outlet temperatures and inlet and outlet pressures of the oil cooler of the cooling oil circuit, and the motor temperature; determining the current working condition according to the inlet and outlet water temperatures and inlet and outlet water flow rates of the coolant circuit, the inlet and outlet temperatures and inlet and outlet pressures of the oil cooler of the cooling oil circuit, and the motor temperature.

[0101] Among them, the coolant circuit can be the path through which the coolant circulates in the cooling system, the inlet and outlet water temperatures can be the temperatures of the coolant at the inlet and outlet of the coolant circuit. Among them, the inlet water temperature can be the temperature when the coolant starts to circulate, the outlet water temperature can be the temperature of the coolant after passing through the heat dissipation component, the inlet and outlet water flow rates can be the flow rates of the coolant at the inlet and outlet of the coolant circuit, the inlet and outlet temperatures of the oil cooler can be the temperatures of the cooling oil at the inlet and outlet of the oil cooler. Among them, the inlet temperature can be the temperature when the cooling oil starts to enter the oil cooler, the outlet temperature can be the temperature of the cooling oil after heat dissipation through the oil cooler, the inlet and outlet pressures can be the pressures of the cooling oil at the inlet and outlet of the oil cooler, and the motor temperature can be the temperature of the motor during operation.

[0102] It can be understood that in the embodiments of the present invention, by obtaining the inlet and outlet water temperatures and inlet and outlet water flow rates of the coolant circuit, the efficiency and heat exchange capacity of the coolant circulation can be evaluated, and the inlet and outlet temperatures and inlet and outlet pressures of the oil cooler of the cooling oil circuit can reflect the circulation state and cooling effect of the cooling oil in the oil circuit. Combining the temperature data of the motor itself, a more comprehensive evaluation of the overall thermal state of the motor can be carried out, so as to accurately determine the current working condition of the motor.

[0103] In step S104, the coupling parameters of the parameter transfer coupling model are imported into the three-dimensional heat flow simulation model, and the three-dimensional heat flow simulation model outputs the temperature field of the motor.

[0104] Among them, the temperature field of the motor can be the temperature distribution of each internal component of the motor during operation and its change over time.

[0105] It can be understood that in the embodiment of the present invention, by importing the coupling parameters into the three-dimensional model, it becomes possible to calculate the temperature values at any position, which helps to understand the distribution of the internal thermal performance of the motor, provides strong support for optimizing the heat dissipation design and preventing thermal failures, and improves the accuracy and reliability of the temperature field prediction.

[0106] In the embodiment of the present invention, after the three-dimensional heat flow simulation model outputs the temperature field of the motor, it further includes: evaluating the risk points where the temperature values of the motor exceed the preset values by using the temperature field of the motor.

[0107] Among them, the preset value can be a temperature safety threshold determined according to factors such as the design specifications, material characteristics, and working environment of the motor, and the risk points can be the motor components or regions where the temperature values may exceed the preset values.

[0108] It can be understood that in the embodiment of the present invention, by using the temperature field of the motor to evaluate the risk points where the temperature values of the motor exceed the preset values, the risk points can be dynamically monitored and warned, the temperature of the motor can be reduced in time, and its performance and reliability can be improved.

[0109] According to the method for calculating the temperature field of the motor proposed in the embodiment of the present invention, by combining one-dimensional temperature simulation and three-dimensional heat flow simulation, and establishing a coupling model for parameter transfer, while ensuring efficient calculation, the accuracy of the temperature field prediction is significantly improved, and at the same time, the dependence on empirical formulas is effectively reduced, making the calculation results more reliable. Among them, the one-dimensional temperature simulation model can quickly calculate the temperature rise values of each component of the motor and provide basic data for the overall thermal performance analysis; while the three-dimensional heat flow simulation model can detail the complex heat transfer process between the multiphase media inside the motor, so as to obtain a more realistic temperature field distribution. By establishing a coupling model, the mutual mapping transfer of parameters between the one-dimensional temperature simulation and the three-dimensional heat flow simulation is realized, so as to obtain a more accurate and comprehensive temperature field prediction result, enabling it to cope with different design requirements and application scenarios. By importing the coupling parameters into the three-dimensional model, it becomes possible to calculate the temperature values at any position, which helps to understand the distribution of the internal thermal performance of the motor and provides strong support for optimizing the heat dissipation design and preventing thermal failures. Thus, the problems in the prior art of cumbersome calculation process, inaccurate results, difficult to quickly iterate, and difficult to handle the temperature field of multiphase media and accurately calculate the temperature values at any position when calculating the temperature rise of the motor are solved.

[0110] The following will specifically elaborate on the method for calculating the motor temperature field through a specific embodiment. As Figure 4 shown, taking a certain motor project of a new energy vehicle as an example, where the rated torque is 75 N·m, the temperature rise and temperature field of the motor are calculated and compared with the test values for accuracy. The calculation method includes the following steps:

[0114] S4. Bind the boundary nodes of the one-dimensional grid heat capacity node calculation model to the grids in the three-dimensional thermal fluid simulation model; among them, the boundary binding is to realize the mapping transfer of the heat transfer coefficient in the three-dimensional thermal fluid calculation to the one-dimensional heat capacity node boundary; the mapping transfer means extracting the heat transfer coefficient from the results of the thermal fluid calculation model and transferring it to the heat capacity node boundary as an input condition;

[0115] It should be noted that the boundary binding can include the binding of the core heat capacity nodes completed in S1 to the surface boundary of the finite element model established in S2, and the mapping binding of the convective thermal resistance R h and the heat transfer coefficient of the fluid-structure model. Among them, the core heat capacity nodes can be the stator yoke heat capacity nodes 21-23, stator tooth heat capacity nodes 31-33, winding heat capacity nodes 41-45, and rotor heat capacity nodes 51-53.

[0116] S5. Establish an overall parameter transfer coupling model by performing coupled parameter transfer between the three-dimensional motor thermal-fluid simulation model and the one-dimensional heat capacity node simulation model; the parameter transfer coupling model enables real-time communication between the calculation results of the thermal-fluid simulation model and the corresponding components of the one-dimensional heat capacity node model, with each serving as the boundary input condition and result output condition; among them, the coupling parameters include the heat transfer coefficient mapping transfer in S4, and also include the output of the calculation results from the one-dimensional heat capacity node model and their import into the three-dimensional thermal-fluid calculation model as the required full-local component temperature field caused by the internal differential heat conduction conditions of the motor components.

[0117] S6. Apply the stator loss Qs and the rotor loss Qr as heat sources to the core heat capacity nodes 21 to 53 as shown in Figure 2 to complete the initialization definition of the heat capacity nodes.

[0118] S7. Further, use the required calculation conditions as boundary conditions and apply them as input conditions to the one-dimensional heat capacity node calculation model; the required calculation conditions can be any conditions or specific conditions.

[0119] S8. Abstract and solve the heat balance equation of the motor one-dimensional grid heat capacity node calculation model. The abstracted and solved relationship is as follows:

[0120]

[0121]

[0122]

[0123]

[0124] Among them, c 1i is the heat capacity of the node component, ρ 1i is the density of the node component, V 1i is the volume of the node component, is the temperature value of the node component, is the axial heat conduction thermal resistance of the node, is the radial heat conduction thermal resistance of the node, is the convective equivalent thermal resistance of the node, Q k(k=1~9) (t) is the heat flux of the node, and A is the contact area.

[0125] The heat transfer coefficient can be mapped from S4 and calculated as follows:

[0128] After the solution is completed, the heats Qi on the one-dimensional heat capacity nodes will be obtained;

[0129] S9. The equilibrium heat Qi calculated by the one-dimensional network heat capacity node calculation model will be fed back by S5 to the three-dimensional component heat model for calculating the overall and local temperature field distributions, and finally all the temperature field scalar distributions of the component will be obtained, as Figure 5 shown.

[0130] S10. Further, the temperature field scalar distribution fed back by the calculation of S9 is used to judge whether the temperature value at any position of any component of the motor is a over-temperature risk point; among them, the judgment of the risk point varies with the temperature resistance of the motor materials with different powers;

[0131] S11. If the risk points in the calculated result temperature scalar diagram are unacceptable, the motor design scheme is adjusted or optimized, and the process returns to S1 for cyclic calculation and analysis again; otherwise, the calculation accuracy is verified, and a benchmark test is carried out for the calculation result, and the test result is as Figure 6 shown.
