This allows the sound emitted by the traction motor to gradually increase with the rotational speed, and the sound frequency also gradually increases, which is more in line with human auditory perception and improves sound quality. If, based on the electromagnetic noise data of the traction motor, it is determined that noise suppression of the traction motor needs to be performed in the second speed range, it indicates that there is excessive noise in the second speed range. In this regard, considering that the harmonics introduced in the stator current of the traction motor will generate high-speed rotating spatial harmonics in the air gap magnetic field, aggravating electromagnetic vibration and noise, the solution of this application will identify the current harmonics to be suppressed at this time, and then suppress the identified current harmonics by controlling the traction inverter, thereby effectively suppressing the electromagnetic noise of the traction motor.

[0061] In summary, the solution proposed in this application can effectively suppress the electromagnetic noise of the traction motor, improve the auditory perception of the human ear, achieve the goal of effectively suppressing train noise, and enhance the passenger experience.

Obviously, the drawings described below are only some embodiments of the present invention. For those skilled in the art, other drawings can be obtained based on these drawings without creative effort.

[0063] Figure 1 This is a flowchart illustrating the implementation of an electromagnetic noise suppression method for a train traction motor according to the present invention.

[0064] Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram of the electromagnetic noise suppression system for a train traction motor according to the present invention. Detailed Implementation

[0065] The core of this invention is to provide an electromagnetic noise suppression method for train traction motors, which can effectively suppress the electromagnetic noise of traction motors, improve the auditory perception of the human ear, achieve the purpose of effectively suppressing train noise, and improve the passenger experience.

[0066] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the present invention, the invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are merely some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0067] Please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 1 This is a flowchart illustrating the implementation of an electromagnetic noise suppression method for a train traction motor according to the present invention. The electromagnetic noise suppression method for the train traction motor may include the following steps:

[0068] Step S101: Based on the electromagnetic noise data of the traction motor, determine whether noise suppression of the traction motor should be performed within the first vehicle speed range; if so, proceed to step S102.

[0069] Specifically, based on the electromagnetic noise data of the traction motor, it can be determined whether noise suppression of the traction motor is needed within the first vehicle speed range. There are several ways to determine this; for example, a common method is to check if the noise level exceeds the standard when the vehicle speed is within the first speed range. Of course, in other implementations, more lenient or stricter triggering conditions can be set as needed to determine whether noise suppression of the traction motor is necessary within the first vehicle speed range.

[0070] The electromagnetic noise data of the traction motor can usually be detected by a sound sensor. The specific sensor type and placement can be set and adjusted according to the actual situation, as long as it can effectively detect the electromagnetic noise data of the traction motor, without affecting the implementation of the present invention.

[0071] Furthermore, the determination of whether noise suppression of the traction motor is needed in the first speed range can usually be predetermined. For example, for a specific train model, the electromagnetic noise data of the train's traction motor can be detected in advance during testing, thereby determining whether noise suppression of the train's traction motor is needed in the first speed range. In the subsequent actual operation of the train, the determination of whether noise suppression of the traction motor is needed in the first speed range can be made based on the previous judgment. Similarly, the determination of whether noise suppression of the traction motor is needed in the second speed range, as described later, can also usually be predetermined, so that in the actual operation of the train, the determination of whether noise suppression of the traction motor is needed in the second speed range can be made directly based on the previous judgment.

[0072] In one specific embodiment of the present invention, step S101 may specifically include:

[0073] Electromagnetic noise data was detected across the entire speed range of the train.

[0074] Determine whether the detected electromagnetic noise data within the first vehicle speed range exceeds the set noise threshold.

[0075] If so, noise suppression of the traction motor is performed within the first speed range;

[0076] If not, noise suppression of the traction motor will not be performed within the first speed range.

[0077] In this implementation, the determination of whether noise levels exceed the standard is used to decide whether noise suppression of the traction motor is necessary within the first speed range. Specifically, electromagnetic noise data can be detected throughout the train's entire speed range. For example, in experimental scenarios or during actual train operation, the train is controlled to gradually accelerate from 0 to its maximum speed. The electromagnetic noise data detected during this process represents the electromagnetic noise data throughout the train's entire speed range, or the electromagnetic noise data within the train's full speed range. In practical applications, the detected electromagnetic noise data is typically represented by a curve, with the horizontal axis representing speed and the vertical axis representing the noise level at different speeds.

[0078] If the noise level does not exceed the set noise threshold within the first speed range, it means that the detected electromagnetic noise data does not exceed the set noise threshold within the first speed range. Therefore, it is not necessary to suppress the noise of the traction motor within the first speed range. Conversely, if the noise level exceeds the set noise threshold once or multiple times within the first speed range, it is necessary to suppress the noise of the traction motor within the first speed range, i.e., to perform the operation of step S102.

[0079] Step S102: When the train speed is in the first speed range, the switching frequency of the traction inverter connected to the traction motor is positively correlated with the train speed.

[0080] When it is determined that noise suppression of the traction motor is required within the first speed range, the solution proposed in this application employs a method that controls the switching frequency of the traction inverter connected to the traction motor to be positively correlated with the train speed. That is, the switching frequency of the traction inverter is designed to correlate with changes in train speed, ensuring that the switching frequency changes linearly with the train speed, and consequently, with the traction motor speed. This design results in a gradual increase in the sound emitted by the traction motor as the train speed gradually increases, with the sound frequency also gradually increasing. This is more in line with human auditory perception and improves sound quality.

[0081] The first speed range is represented as [A, B], where A represents the lower speed limit set for the first speed range, and B represents the upper speed limit set for the first speed range. The specific values ​​of A and B can be set and adjusted according to actual needs. For example, A can be set to 0, so that the noise quality can be improved in accordance with step S102 during the train's start-up phase.

[0082] Furthermore, if it is determined from the electromagnetic noise data of the traction motor that noise suppression of the traction motor is not required in the first speed range, then when the train speed is in the first speed range, the specific control method of the traction inverter can be set and adjusted according to actual needs. For example, a common control method is to control the train speed by fixing the switching frequency of the traction inverter.

[0083] In one specific embodiment of the present invention, step S102 may specifically include:

[0084] When the train speed is within the first speed range, the modulation mode of the traction inverter connected to the traction motor is set to asynchronous modulation, and the switching frequency of the traction inverter is controlled to be positively correlated with the train speed.

[0085] In this embodiment, considering that the switching frequency of the traction inverter needs to be positively correlated with the train speed in the scheme of this application, the modulation mode of the traction inverter can be set to asynchronous modulation, which makes it easier to design the correlation between the switching frequency and the train speed, so as to achieve the purpose of linear change of the switching frequency with the speed of the traction motor.

[0086] Furthermore, it should be noted that during asynchronous modulation, the train speed cannot be too high; therefore, an upper limit for the first speed range needs to be set based on the actual situation. In practical applications, the first speed range is the low-speed zone for train operation, while the second speed range, described later, is the medium-to-high-speed zone for train operation.

[0087] Step S103: Based on the electromagnetic noise data of the traction motor, determine whether noise suppression of the traction motor should be performed within the second vehicle speed range. If so, proceed to step S104.

[0088] The steps S101 and S102 above address train noise suppression within the first speed range, while steps S103 and S104 address train noise suppression within the second speed range. Therefore, it can be understood that step S102 must be executed after step S101, and step S104 must be executed after step S103. However, there is no strict order requirement between steps S102 and S103. Figure 1 For ease of viewing and illustration, step S103 is placed after step S102.

[0089] Specifically, based on the electromagnetic noise data of the traction motor, it can be determined whether noise suppression of the traction motor is needed in the second speed range. There are several possible methods for this determination. Similar to the above, the commonly used method is to determine whether the noise level exceeds the standard when the vehicle speed is within the second speed range. Of course, in other specific implementations, more lenient or stricter triggering conditions can be set as needed to determine whether noise suppression of the traction motor is necessary in the second speed range.

[0090] For example, in one specific embodiment of the present invention, step S103 may specifically include:

[0091] Electromagnetic noise data was detected across the entire speed range of the train.

[0092] Determine whether the detected electromagnetic noise data within the second vehicle speed range exceeds the set noise threshold.

[0093] If so, noise suppression of the traction motor will be performed within the second speed range;

[0094] If not, noise suppression of the traction motor will not be performed in the second speed range.

[0095] In this implementation, similar to the above, it also involves determining whether noise levels exceed the standard to decide whether noise suppression of the traction motor is necessary in the second speed range. Specifically, electromagnetic noise data across the entire speed range of the train can be detected first. For example, in experimental scenarios or during actual train operation, the train is controlled to gradually accelerate from 0 speed to its maximum speed. The electromagnetic noise data detected during this process represents the electromagnetic noise data across the entire speed range of the train, or the electromagnetic noise data across the entire speed range of the train. In practical applications, the detected electromagnetic noise data can usually be represented by a curve, with the horizontal axis representing speed and the vertical axis representing the noise level at different speeds.

[0096] If the noise level does not exceed the set noise threshold within the second speed range, it means that the detected electromagnetic noise data does not exceed the set noise threshold within the second speed range. Therefore, it is not necessary to suppress the noise of the traction motor within the second speed range. For example, the default control method can be used to control the traction inverter. Of course, there are various specific control methods that can be set and adjusted according to actual needs.

[0097] Conversely, if the noise level exceeds the set noise threshold once or multiple times within the second speed range, noise suppression of the traction motor needs to be performed within the second speed range, i.e., the operation of step S104 needs to be executed.

[0098] Step S104: When the train speed is in the second speed range, the current harmonics to be suppressed are determined, and the determined current harmonics are suppressed by controlling the traction inverter.

[0099] The first speed range is represented as [A, B], and the second speed range is represented as [C, D]. A represents the lower speed limit set for the first speed range, B represents the upper speed limit set for the first speed range, C represents the lower speed limit set for the second speed range, and D represents the upper speed limit set for the second speed range, with B ≤ C.

[0100] When it is determined that noise suppression of the traction motor is required in the second speed range, the method used in this application is to identify the current harmonics to be suppressed, and then suppress the identified current harmonics by controlling the traction inverter.

[0101] This is because, in the traction system, the electromagnetic noise of the traction motor has the greatest impact on the auditory experience. The root cause of electromagnetic noise is electromagnetic vibration, which is excited by the electromagnetic force generated by the air gap magnetic field of the motor acting on the motor core. For the traction motor, its power supply is the traction inverter connected to it. The harmonics introduced in the stator current will generate high-speed rotating spatial harmonics in the air gap magnetic field, thus making the electromagnetic vibration and noise situation more complicated.

[0102] Therefore, the current harmonics to be suppressed will be identified. That is, within the second vehicle speed range, the current harmonics that cause the electromagnetic noise data of the traction motor to exceed the standard will be identified. Then, the current harmonics to be suppressed will be introduced into the control algorithm. In this way, by controlling the traction inverter, the purpose of suppressing specific harmonics can be achieved, which will improve the problem of prominent electromagnetic noise caused by the electromagnetic force generated by these specific harmonics exciting the motor modal resonance.

[0103] When suppressing the identified current harmonics, there are various specific suppression methods that can be set and adjusted according to actual needs.

[0104] The second speed range is represented as [C, D], where C represents the lower speed limit set for the second speed range, and D represents the upper speed limit set for the second speed range. The specific values ​​of C and D can be set and adjusted according to actual needs, but B ≤ C is required.

[0105] In one specific embodiment of the present invention, the value of A can be set to 0, B = C, and the value of D can be the set maximum train speed. It can be seen that the design of the values ​​of A, B, C, and D in this embodiment enables electromagnetic noise suppression of the train traction motor across the entire speed range. Furthermore, as described above, in practical applications, the first speed range is the low-speed range of train operation, while the second speed range is the medium-to-high-speed range of train operation.

[0106] In one specific embodiment of the present invention, the determination of each current harmonic to be suppressed as described in step S104 may specifically include the following steps:

[0107] Step 1: When the train speed is within the second speed range, perform spectrum analysis on the electromagnetic noise data of the traction motor to obtain the spectrum analysis results;

[0108] Step 2: Based on the spectrum analysis results, determine the frequencies of each excessive noise, and in combination with the rotational speed of the traction motor, determine the noise frequency order corresponding to each excessive noise frequency;

[0109] Step 3: Based on the noise frequency order and motor parameters, determine the current harmonics that generate each noise frequency order, and use the determined current harmonics as the current harmonics to be suppressed.

[0110] This implementation takes into account that different current harmonics produce noise at different frequencies. Therefore, the current harmonics that need to be suppressed can be determined based on the noise frequency.

[0111] Specifically, the electromagnetic noise data of the traction motor can be analyzed by spectrum analysis when the train speed is in the second speed range to obtain the spectrum analysis results.

[0112] By analyzing the spectral results, the frequencies of noise exceeding the standard can be identified. For example, 300Hz and 450Hz can be identified as frequencies exceeding the standard. It is understandable that the criteria for determining the frequencies exceeding the standard can be preset and adjusted according to actual needs.

[0113] After identifying each excessive noise frequency, the corresponding noise frequency order can be determined by combining the rotational speed of the traction motor. Typically, for any one excessive noise frequency, the rotational speed of the traction motor at the moment that excessive noise frequency is generated can be determined. Dividing the excessive noise frequency by the rotational speed of the traction motor will give the noise frequency order corresponding to that excessive noise frequency.

[0114] The noise frequency orders obtained are the noise frequency orders that need to be suppressed. They are affected by motor parameters and harmonic orders. Therefore, based on the noise frequency orders and motor parameters, the current harmonics that generate each noise frequency order can be determined, and thus the current harmonics to be suppressed can be obtained.

[0115] In one specific embodiment of the present invention, step three above may specifically include:

[0116] Based on the various noise frequency orders and motor parameters, the frequencies of the electromagnetic force waves that generate each noise frequency order are determined.

[0117] Based on the correlation between electromagnetic force wave frequency and harmonic frequency, the current harmonics that generate each electromagnetic force wave frequency are determined, and the determined current harmonics are taken as the current harmonics to be suppressed.

[0118] As described above, the various noise frequency orders are influenced by motor parameters and harmonic orders. Therefore, based on the obtained noise frequency orders and motor parameters, the corresponding current harmonics that generate each noise frequency order can be determined according to their relationships. There are multiple ways to implement this operation, as long as the correlation between the noise frequency orders, motor parameters, and current harmonic orders can be determined. For example, a correlation equation or model can be established through theoretical analysis, or the correspondence between these three can be summarized through experimental data.

[0119] This implementation further considers that electromagnetic vibration is excited by the electromagnetic force generated by the air gap magnetic field of the motor acting on the motor core. That is, the frequency order of the generated noise is directly related to the frequency of the electromagnetic force wave. Therefore, the frequencies of the electromagnetic force waves that generate each noise frequency order can be determined first based on the noise frequency order and motor parameters, which is a relatively convenient process. Then, based on the correlation between the electromagnetic force wave frequency and harmonic frequencies, the current harmonics that generate each electromagnetic force wave frequency can be determined, which is also relatively convenient. In practical applications, the correlation between the electromagnetic force wave frequency and harmonic frequencies, and the correlation between the noise frequency order, motor parameters, and electromagnetic force wave frequency can be determined in advance through experimental data and / or theoretical analysis, which is also relatively convenient.

[0120] Furthermore, based on the various noise frequency orders and motor parameters, the frequencies of the electromagnetic force waves that generate each noise frequency order are determined, which can specifically include:

[0121] Based on the noise frequency order and the number of motor pole pairs, the frequencies of the electromagnetic force waves that generate each noise frequency order are determined.

[0122] This implementation takes into account that, among the motor parameters, the number of motor pole pairs mainly affects the correlation between the noise frequency order and the electromagnetic force wave frequency. Therefore, in this implementation, other motor parameters can be ignored, and only the number of motor pole pairs can be used. Combined with the noise frequency order, the frequencies of each electromagnetic force wave that generate each noise frequency order can be easily and quickly determined. This method is convenient to operate and has a high accuracy rate.

[0123] In one specific embodiment of the present invention, step S104, which describes suppressing the determined current harmonics by controlling the traction inverter, includes:

[0124] The modulation mode of the traction inverter is set to synchronous modulation, and the determined current harmonics are suppressed by controlling the traction inverter.

[0125] This implementation takes into account that when the train speed is high, the switching frequency of the traction inverter is high, and the high-frequency performance of synchronous modulation is better and the waveform is more stable. Therefore, when the train speed is in the second speed range, the modulation mode of the traction inverter can be set to synchronous modulation, and then the determined current harmonics can be suppressed by controlling the traction inverter.

[0126] In one specific embodiment of the present invention, the suppression of the determined current harmonics by controlling the traction inverter as described in step S104 may specifically include:

[0127] By controlling the traction inverter and adjusting the switching angle, the determined current harmonics are suppressed.

[0128] As described above, there are various suppression methods available for the identified current harmonics, which can be set and adjusted according to actual needs. This implementation takes into account that different switching angles have different effects on harmonics. Therefore, this implementation does not require the introduction of complex control loops. Instead, it suppresses the identified current harmonics by adjusting the switching angle based on the original control method, making the solution simple, convenient, and cost-effective to implement.

[0129] Furthermore, the specific method for adjusting the switching angle can be determined through theoretical analysis or experimental data. For example, a simple approach is to conduct experiments at different switching angles for a specific harmonic to be suppressed at a certain train speed, and then take the switching angle that minimizes the harmonic as the optimal switching angle. Thus, within a certain speed range, the traction inverter can be controlled according to this optimal switching angle.

[0130] Applying the technical solution provided in this invention, considering that the electromagnetic noise of the traction motor has the greatest impact on auditory experience in the traction device, this application suppresses the electromagnetic noise of the traction motor to achieve train noise suppression. The first speed range is denoted as [A, B], and the second speed range is denoted as [C, D], where B≤C, meaning the first speed range refers to the low-speed zone, and the second speed range refers to the high-speed zone. If, based on the electromagnetic noise data of the traction motor, it is determined that noise suppression of the traction motor is necessary within the first speed range, it indicates that noise levels exceed the standard within the first speed range. In this application, the switching frequency of the traction inverter is controlled to be positively correlated with the train speed. This allows the sound emitted by the traction motor to gradually increase with the rotational speed, and the sound frequency also gradually increases, which is more in line with human auditory perception and improves sound quality. If, based on the electromagnetic noise data of the traction motor, it is determined that noise suppression of the traction motor needs to be performed in the second speed range, it indicates that there is excessive noise in the second speed range. In this regard, considering that the harmonics introduced in the stator current of the traction motor will generate high-speed rotating spatial harmonics in the air gap magnetic field, aggravating electromagnetic vibration and noise, the solution of this application will identify the current harmonics to be suppressed at this time, and then suppress the identified current harmonics by controlling the traction inverter, thereby effectively suppressing the electromagnetic noise of the traction motor.

[0131] In summary, the solution proposed in this application can effectively suppress the electromagnetic noise of the traction motor, improve the auditory perception of the human ear, achieve the goal of effectively suppressing train noise, and enhance the passenger experience.
