Therefore, the drawings and descriptions are considered to be exemplary and non-restrictive in nature.

[0044] The embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0045] like Figure 1-Figure 2 As shown, an embodiment of the present invention provides an axial flux motor distributed drive control system, including an axial flux motor, a data acquisition module, a data fusion processing module, a real-time control module and a controller module, wherein a signal end of the data acquisition module is connected to a signal end of the data fusion processing module and a signal end of the axial flux motor, a signal end of the data fusion processing module is connected to a signal end of the real-time control module, a signal end of the real-time control module is connected to a signal end of the controller module, and a signal end of the axial flux motor is connected to a signal end of the controller module;

[0070] In one embodiment, the signal end of the fault diagnosis module is connected to a user interaction module, which is used to provide an interactive interface to display the vehicle status and the working status of the control system. The user interaction module continues to run after the system is started to provide real-time feedback to the user, making it easier for the user to understand the vehicle condition and improve driving experience and safety.

[0071] In one embodiment, the signal end of the data acquisition module is connected to a data storage module, which is used to store the working data and control strategy of the axial flux motor.

[0073] In one embodiment, the signal end of the energy management module is connected to a power supply module, which is used to manage the power supply of the entire system, including battery charge and discharge management and voltage stabilization. It is started first before the system starts to ensure that each module obtains a stable power supply.
