Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of switched reluctance motors, and in particular to a switched reluctance motor rotor structure for improving torque performance and an optimization method thereof. Background Art

[0002] Energy, as the core of modern society, is an important driving force for global industrialization and urbanization. However, while the traditional fossil energy system has brought economic prosperity, it has also caused serious environmental problems, such as water and soil pollution, intensified global climate change, and damage to the ecosystem. Therefore, developing new energy electric vehicles and reducing dependence on oil and automobile exhaust emissions have become a global consensus and important response measures.

[0003] Switched reluctance motor (SRM) has shown great application potential in the field of new energy electric vehicles due to its low cost, simple and solid structure, high efficiency and energy saving, wide speed regulation range, high reliability and durability. However, despite the many advantages of switched reluctance motor, its low operating efficiency and extremely high torque pulsation and vibration noise limit its further promotion and application.

[0004] In order to improve the torque performance of the switched reluctance motor, increase motor efficiency and reduce torque pulsation, current research mainly focuses on the motor's structural design, drive and control strategies. These studies are committed to improving the output torque and reducing torque pulsation by optimizing the motor structure, improving the drive method or control algorithm. However, the torque pulsation mechanism of the switched reluctance motor is complex, and the torque performance is affected by many factors, so some existing optimization schemes have not fully achieved the expected results.

[0005] For example, CN101667758A discloses a switched reluctance motor rotor structure, which is a switched reluctance motor rotor structure made of stacked silicon steel sheets, has no windings and no permanent magnets, and the rotor pole type is a multi-air-gap salient pole structure for reducing vibration and noise, and the rotor end salient pole is a multi-air-gap step type; this structure improves the torque pulsation and vibration noise of the motor to a certain extent, but its effect on improving the output torque of the motor is limited.

[0006] For another example, CN102347675A discloses a switched reluctance motor rotor structure, in which axially through-connecting holes are provided on both sides of the rotor teeth, a connecting conductor is embedded in the connecting hole, two ends of the connecting conductor are respectively connected to copper rings at two ends of the motor, and a damping winding is formed through the copper rings to generate a reverse magnetic field to weaken the degree of inductance change on the main magnetic flux, thereby reducing torque pulsation, harmonic loss, and electromagnetic noise. However, the axially through-connecting holes provided in this scheme will reduce the mechanical strength of the motor rotor core, and the processing operation is complicated, which is not conducive to large-scale production and application.

[0007] In summary, although the existing technology has improved the torque performance and vibration noise of the switched reluctance motor to a certain extent, it often has problems such as limited improvement effect, affecting other motor performance or complex processing. Therefore, how to effectively suppress the torque pulsation of the switched reluctance motor and the vibration displacement of the stator and rotor core while improving the motor output torque and maintaining the mechanical strength of the rotor core has become a technical problem that needs to be solved urgently.

[0008] It is in this context that the present invention proposes a new switched reluctance motor rotor structure and an optimization method for improving torque performance, aiming to achieve an all-round improvement in the motor torque performance by optimizing the external structure of the rotor teeth while maintaining the normal operation and mechanical strength of the motor.

According to the operating principle of the switched reluctance motor, the optimization area is selected as the outer side of the rotor teeth, and the topology optimization method is used to obtain a unique tooth structure in this area; Step 1.2: During topology optimization, only one quarter of the switched reluctance motor rotor core is selected as the optimization area and topology optimization is performed. Then, after symmetry, the rotor core consisting of all rotor teeth with a unique tooth structure can be obtained.

[0017] In the preferred solution, the method and steps for establishing the topology optimization mathematical model of the area selected in step 1 in step 2 are as follows: based on the SIMP model, the design variables are introduced , the relative magnetic permeability of the core material in the optimized area and Young's modulus Use the design variables to represent continuous functions and set the penalty factor Penalize the intermediate density units to reduce the number of intermediate density units in the topology optimization results, thereby obtaining a shape structure that is easy to process, and then optimize the relative permeability of the regional material. and Young's modulus Respectively expressed as: (1) In the formula, The relative magnetic permeability of the amorphous alloy steel sheet pressed into the rotor core of the switched reluctance motor is is the Young's modulus of the same amorphous alloy steel sheet, is the Young’s modulus of air in the air gap region of the switched reluctance motor.

[0018] In the preferred solution, the specific steps of step 3 to construct the objective function and constraint conditions of topology optimization are: Step 3.1: To achieve the optimization goal of maximizing the average torque of the switched reluctance motor, the objective function is set to the average torque of the switched reluctance motor during operation, and the motor torque at each rotor positionT θ It is expressed as: (2) In the formula, is the radius of the air gap, is the motor shaft length, is the integrated radian, and They are respectively the magnetic induction intensity The radial and tangential components of Then, the average torque of the switched reluctance motor during operation is It can be expressed as: (3) In the formula, N is the total number of rotor positions; Step 3.2: In order to ensure that the motor torque pulsation and core vibration will not be aggravated while the average torque of the motor is increased, the constraint condition is set to that the motor torque pulsation and the stator and rotor core vibration displacement will not increase at each iteration of the topology optimization. The motor torque pulsation coefficient at each iteration of the topology optimization is It is expressed as: (4) In the formula, is the maximum torque value, is the minimum torque value, is the average torque value; The stator and rotor cores of the switched reluctance motor are considered to be made of linear elastic materials, and the damping effect of the core is ignored. During the calculation process, the electromagnetic force and magnetostrictive force that cause the motor vibration are coupled to the elastic mechanics formula, and the vibration displacement of the stator and rotor core of the motor at each iteration of the topology optimization is calculated. It is expressed as: (5) In the formula, is the mass matrix, is the stiffness matrix, is the electromagnetic force, is the magnetostrictive force, For time; In addition, in order to ensure the mechanical strength of the motor rotor core after optimization, elastic strain energy constraints are added to the constraints, limiting the elastic strain energy caused by electromagnetic force and magnetostrictive force to be less than the initial value. It is expressed as: (6) In the formula, is the total load in the mechanical field, expressed as , for The transposed matrix of Step 3.3: Based on the topology optimization objective function and constraint-related physical quantity calculation formulas in step 3.1 and step 3.2, the topology optimization objective function for improving the motor torque performance is And three constraints , , Respectively expressed as: (7) Where: For the The motor torque ripple coefficient at the optimization iteration, is the initial motor torque ripple coefficient, For the The vibration displacement of the motor stator and rotor core at the optimization iteration, is the initial motor stator and rotor core vibration displacement, For the The elastic strain energy of the motor rotor core at the iteration, is the initial elastic strain energy of the motor rotor core.

[0019] In the preferred solution, the step 4 uses the global convergence moving asymptote method to calculate the optimal solution that satisfies the topology optimization objective function and constraints. Compared with the traditional moving asymptote method, the global convergence moving asymptote method updates the design variables according to the positive and negative sensitivity values ​​and has stronger global convergence.

[0031] Furthermore, the step 4 uses a global convergent moving asymptote method to calculate the optimal solution that satisfies the topology optimization objective function and constraint conditions. Compared with the traditional moving asymptote method, the global convergent moving asymptote method updates the design variables according to the positive and negative sensitivity values ​​and has stronger global convergence.

[0032] Example 3 In another preferred embodiment, the specific implementation steps of a switched reluctance motor rotor structure and an optimization method thereof for improving torque performance are as follows: Firstly, the rotor structure of the switched reluctance motor involved in the present invention is composed of a rotor core 1, which is pressed from an amorphous alloy steel sheet. Due to the characteristics of the amorphous alloy steel sheet prepared by rapid solidification technology, there is no crystal structure and structural defects that hinder the movement of magnetic domain walls, and the strip is extremely thin (about 20 to 30 μm), which significantly reduces the eddy current and hysteresis losses of the motor core, thereby improving the working efficiency of the motor.

[0033] A plurality of rotor teeth 2 are arranged on the rotor core 1, and the outer side 3 of each rotor tooth 2 obtains a unique tooth structure 4 through a topological optimization method; this unique tooth structure 4 is intended to optimize the magnetic flux path and improve the torque performance of the motor; in addition, a circular hole 5 is opened in the center of the rotor core 1 for installing an external shaft to realize the rotational motion of the motor.

[0034] During the optimization process, the specific methods and steps are as follows: Step 1: Select the optimization area In the simulation model of the normally operating switched reluctance motor, the change in magnetic flux density of the motor stator and rotor core is observed. Through simulation analysis, it is found that the magnetic flux density of the rotor teeth near the air gap between the motor stator and rotor is large, and the magnetic circuit is relatively concentrated. According to the operating principle of the switched reluctance motor, the magnetic flux density and magnetic circuit distribution on the rotor teeth have a significant impact on the motor torque performance. Therefore, the outer side 3 of the rotor tooth 2 is selected as the optimization area, and the topology optimization method is used to optimize this area to obtain a unique tooth structure 4.

[0035] In order to reduce the calculation time and considering that the rotor teeth 2 of the switched reluctance motor have the same structure, in this embodiment, only one quarter of the rotor core 1 is selected as the optimization area for topological optimization. After the optimization is completed, the complete rotor core 1 including all the unique tooth structures 4 can be obtained through symmetric processing.

[0037] Step 3: Construct the objective function and constraints of topology optimization The objective function is set as the average torque when the switched reluctance motor is running , and its calculation formula is shown in formula (3). In order to ensure that the motor torque pulsation and core vibration will not be aggravated while improving the average torque of the motor, the constraint condition is set to the motor torque pulsation coefficient at each iteration of the topology optimization. and the vibration displacement of the stator and rotor core The torque ripple coefficient does not exceed the initial value. and vibration displacement The calculation formulas of are shown in Equation (4) and Equation (5) respectively. In addition, elastic strain energy constraints are added to ensure that the elastic strain energy caused by electromagnetic force and magnetostrictive force is Smaller than the initial value to maintain the mechanical strength of the motor rotor core.

[0038] Step 4: Find the optimal solution The global convergence moving asymptote method is used to calculate the optimal solution that meets the topology optimization objective function and constraints. Compared with the traditional moving asymptote method, this method has stronger global convergence and can more accurately find the design variables that meet the optimization objectives. distributed.

[0039] Through the above optimization steps, a switched reluctance motor rotor core 1 with a unique tooth structure 4 is finally obtained. This structure can significantly improve the torque performance of the motor while suppressing torque pulsation and vibration noise.

[0040] Example 4 On the basis of the above-mentioned embodiments 1, 2, and 3, in order to further verify the effectiveness of the present invention, the switched reluctance motor rotor structure of embodiments 1 and 3 and the optimization method described in embodiments 2 and 3 are used to simulate the optimized switched reluctance motor and the traditional switched reluctance motor respectively. The simulation basis and principle of the overall structure of the switched reluctance motor are as follows: The magnetic field area of ​​the stator and rotor core of the switched reluctance motor satisfies the differential equation: (8) In the formula, is the conductivity, is the vacuum permeability, is the current density, is the relative magnetic permeability of the material; is the vector magnetic potential, existing in the entire magnetic field area and satisfying: (9) In the formula, is the magnetic induction intensity, For Get the curl; The stator and rotor cores of the switched reluctance motor are considered to be made of linear elastic materials. Ignoring the damping effect, the vibration process can be described by the dynamic equation of the elastic body: (5) In the electromagnetic simulation software, two-dimensional models of the switched reluctance motor of the present invention and the traditional switched reluctance motor are respectively established, and simulation analysis is performed, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 The simulation results are shown in Figure 6 and Figure 7 Compare the magnetic flux density of the stator and rotor models of the two switched reluctance motors at t=4ms, as shown in Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown in the figure, it can be seen that the maximum magnetic flux density of the switched reluctance motor before and after optimization is 1.31T, and the magnetic flux density distribution of the switched reluctance motor before and after optimization remains almost unchanged, which shows that the rotor structure of the switched reluctance motor proposed in the present invention has almost no effect on the normal operation of the motor; then combined with Figure 8 As shown in the figure, the torque performance of the switched reluctance motor model of the present invention is compared with that of the traditional switched reluctance motor model. It can be seen that the average torque of the switched reluctance motor proposed by the present invention is increased by 11%, and the torque ripple coefficient is reduced from the original 73% to 60%. This shows that the present invention effectively suppresses the motor torque ripple while improving the motor output torque, thereby significantly improving the torque performance of the motor; finally, combined with Fig. 9 As shown, by comparing the vibration displacement of the motor stator and rotor cores of the switched reluctance motor model of the present invention with that of the traditional switched reluctance motor model, it can be seen that the vibration displacement of the motor stator and rotor cores corresponding to the switched reluctance motor rotor structure proposed in the present invention is reduced, further proving that the present invention has better vibration reduction and noise reduction effects while improving the torque performance.

[0041] In a preferred embodiment, the rotor core 1 is assembled with an external stator core 6 of suitable size to achieve improved torque performance. The above configuration improves the universality of the switched reluctance motor rotor structure with improved torque performance, which contributes to its wide application in new energy electric vehicles and industrial control fields.

[0042] In the preferred scheme, the rotor core 1 is pressed from amorphous alloy steel sheets; the above settings effectively improve the energy efficiency ratio of the motor and reduce energy loss; at the same time, the high magnetic permeability and low hysteresis loss characteristics of the amorphous alloy steel sheets enable the rotor core 1 to maintain a stable magnetic field environment even at high speeds, ensuring the smooth operation of the motor; further reducing the eddy current and hysteresis losses of the rotor core of the switched reluctance motor, and improving the operating efficiency of the switched reluctance motor.

[0043] In the preferred scheme, the unique tooth structure 4 arranged on the outer side 3 of the rotor tooth 2 is obtained after topological optimization; the above arrangement not only effectively improves the dynamic performance of the rotor and reduces vibration and noise, but also obtains the optimal structure of the switched reluctance motor rotor with improved torque performance through topological optimization, and finally achieves the optimal distribution of materials with excellent performance, thereby maximizing the torque performance of the switched reluctance motor.

[0044] In summary, the invention provides a switched reluctance motor rotor structure with improved torque performance and an optimization method thereof, which solves the technical problems of insufficient torque performance, large torque pulsation, high vibration and noise in the operation of the existing switched reluctance motor. While improving the motor output torque and maintaining the mechanical strength of the rotor core, the switched reluctance motor torque pulsation and the vibration displacement of the stator and rotor core can be effectively suppressed, and the motor torque performance can be improved in an all-round way. In addition, the switched reluctance motor rotor structure provided by the invention is conducive to processing and manufacturing, and is conducive to its wide application in the fields of new energy electric vehicles and industrial control. The invention designs a unique tooth on the outer side of the rotor teeth. The structure is obtained through topological optimization, aiming to improve the torque performance and operating efficiency of the motor. Compared with the traditional switched reluctance motor, this unique tooth structure shows significant superiority and innovation in reducing the concentration of magnetic flux density and improving the torque output; the rotor core is pressed from amorphous alloy steel sheets. Amorphous alloys have the characteristics of no crystal structure, high resistivity, low hysteresis loss, etc., which can significantly reduce the eddy current and hysteresis loss of the motor and improve the overall efficiency of the motor. The application of this material in the field of switched reluctance motor is novel; in the optimization process, not only the maximization of the average torque of the switched reluctance motor is taken as the optimization goal, but also the torque pulsation, stator and rotor iron are taken into consideration.
