It has the characteristics of low noise, smooth and comfortable ride, strong climbing ability, small turning radius, less line space and low construction cost. It has important application prospects in the fields of urban rail transit and tourism.

[0038] For the convenience of explaining and understanding the present invention, the following Figure 1-6 The embodiments of the present invention are described in detail. Example 1

[0039] like Figure 2-Figure 3 As shown, the short primary linear drive electromagnetic suspension system of this embodiment includes a suspension frame 7 and a track beam 2 arranged relatively to each other, and the suspension frame 7 and the track beam 2 enclose a cavity to install the magnetic track 3, the linear motor primary 5, the linear motor secondary 1 and the electromagnet 4; the electromagnet 4 is located on both sides of the linear motor primary 5 and is located together on the vehicle body side; the magnetic track 3 and the linear motor secondary 1 are located on the track side together, laid under the track beam 2, and are located above the linear motor primary 5 and the electromagnet 4. The magnetic track 3 in this embodiment is a structure with a concave middle and a convex edge; this embodiment is preferably a rectangular groove, and the linear motor secondary 1 is installed in the center of the rectangular groove. At the same time, an electromagnet yoke 6 is laid on the side of the suspension frame 7 close to the track beam 2, and the linear motor primary 5 and the electromagnet 4 are arranged on the electromagnet yoke 6. The linear motor primary 5 and the linear motor secondary 1 are arranged with a relative gap, and the linear motor primary 5 is energized to generate a traveling wave magnetic field, which interacts with the linear motor secondary 1 to provide traction and partial suspension force for the maglev train. The electromagnet 4 is arranged opposite to the magnetic track 3, and a gap is reserved between the electromagnet 4 and the magnetic track 3. Preferably, the gap between the linear motor secondary 1 and the linear motor primary 5 is equal to the gap between the electromagnet 4 and the magnetic track 3.

[0040] The primary 5 of the linear motor includes a U-shaped iron core 54, a winding 53, and a permanent magnet 52; the secondary 1 of the linear motor is a salient pole structure magnetic secondary. In this embodiment, the primary of the linear motor is composed of a U-shaped iron core (stacked sheets), a winding (concentrated winding), a permanent magnet (adjacent permanent magnets have opposite polarities), and a structural member, and the secondary is a salient pole structure magnetic secondary. The electromagnet is composed of a coil, a yoke, or a coil, a yoke, and a permanent magnet, and the magnetic track is formed by stacking steel plates. The secondary 1 of the linear motor is close to one side of the U-shaped iron core 54, and a separation groove 11 is arranged at intervals, and an inverted conical boss 12 is arranged on both sides of the separation groove 11; the inverted conical boss 12 is arranged relative to the gap between the permanent magnet 52. The inverted conical boss 12 of the secondary of the linear motor can be used as a speed sensor speed measurement reference without the need for additional installation, thereby reducing costs.

[0041] The magnetic track 3 and the electromagnet 4 form an electromagnetic circuit, providing partial suspension force for the maglev train; the primary of the linear motor 5 is energized to generate a traveling wave magnetic field, which interacts with the secondary of the linear motor 1 to provide traction and partial suspension force for the maglev train; the electromagnet and the linear motor jointly assume the suspension function.

[0042] The linear motor of this embodiment is excited by a primary permanent magnet, with low excitation loss, no secondary induction plate, no eddy current loss of the induction plate, high motor efficiency and low temperature rise; the linear motor shares the electromagnet load, the electromagnet suspension energy consumption is reduced, the temperature rise is low, and the suspension capacity is increased. Natural air cooling can meet the heat dissipation requirements of the linear motor and the electromagnet, and no water cooling device is required, which reduces the weight of the system and the cost. It solves the problem that natural air cooling cannot meet the heat dissipation requirements of the linear induction motor and the electromagnet, and the water cooling device configured in the system will increase the cost. Example 2

[0043] like Figure 4 As shown, the application of the short primary linear drive electromagnetic suspension system of this embodiment is applied to the body-wrapped track structure of medium and low speed maglev, including a track beam 2 with a T-shaped cross section installed at the bottom of the train body, and the track beam 2 with a T-shaped cross section includes a transverse frame 21 and a vertical frame 22 perpendicular to the transverse frame 21; the suspension frame 7 is an inverted trapezoidal structure, half surrounded by the outer edge of the track beam 2; a cavity is enclosed between the bottom of the suspension frame 7 and the track beam 2 to install the magnetic track 3, the linear motor primary 5, the linear motor secondary 1 and the electromagnet 4.

The bottom surface of the inverted T-shaped structure overlaps with a portion of the transverse frame 21 to form an installation position for installing a short primary linear drive electromagnetic suspension system. The spacing of the overlapping parts is adjusted according to the gap between the linear motor secondary 1 and the linear motor primary 5 and the gap between the electromagnet 4 and the magnetic track 3.
