Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of motor technology in engineering technology, specifically to the structure, control and driving mode of motors, especially the design of dual-motor devices. Background Art

[0002] With the continuous development of electrification and intelligent technologies, drive motors are increasingly widely used in multiple fields. Modern transportation means such as electric vehicles and ship drives have increasingly high performance requirements for motors, especially in terms of multi-functional adaptation under different working conditions, facing unprecedented challenges. The drive motor not only needs to maintain high efficiency, low vibration and low noise at low speeds to meet the long-term low-power operation requirements; at the same time, at high speeds, it also needs to have high-power output and be able to withstand short-term overheating pressure, which poses higher technical requirements for the design of the motor.

[0003] In practical applications, the motor needs to be able to operate stably within a wide speed range, which means that the power output range of the motor is also very wide. With the change of requirements, the working conditions of the motor may need to cover from low-power, low-speed operation modes to high-power, high-speed intense working modes. At low speeds, the motor not only needs to have high efficiency, but also reduce vibration and noise to avoid unnecessary energy loss; while at high speeds, the motor needs to be able to quickly and efficiently provide a large amount of power and be able to withstand a large thermal load in a short time to prevent overheating damage.

[0004] Traditional motor designs have certain limitations in the face of these requirements. Due to the large power output range and speed span of the motor, a single motor often has difficulty meeting the requirements in terms of efficiency, stability, noise and thermal management under different working conditions. In some special working conditions, such as urban cruising and high-speed driving of electric vehicles, the motor needs to be able to flexibly switch working modes to ensure efficient operation at low speeds and strong power output at high speeds.

[0005] To overcome this problem, some design solutions have proposed the dual-motor drive method, but there are still the following key defects:

[0006] For example, the dual-motor device disclosed in the patent document CN110843493A realizes power coupling through an independent rotating shaft and a gear set. Although this solution can expand the speed range, it requires additional transmission components, resulting in increased mechanical losses, and the layout of two motors and two rotating shafts occupies a large space and is difficult to meet the compactness requirements.

[0007] For example, the dual-motor device disclosed in patent document CN113400953A includes two independent single-motor systems. The two motors require more space, increase the volume and weight of the system, and require two different control systems, which is contrary to the requirements of lightweight and compact design. Therefore, how to achieve a wide speed and power range in the same motor while maintaining high efficiency, low noise, low vibration and good thermal management capabilities has become an important issue that needs to be solved in the current motor design field.

[0056] Based on the same inventive concept, the present invention also provides a computer, including a processor and a storage medium. When the processor reads the computer program stored in the storage medium, the computer executes the control method of the dual-motor device of the present invention.

[0057] Based on the same inventive concept, the present invention also provides a computer program product. As a computer program, when the computer program is read, it implements the control method of the dual-motor device of the present invention.

[0058] The present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0059] (1) A dual-motor device proposed by the present invention has a wide power output and speed range. By integrating two drive units, a small motor and a large motor, within the same device, the present invention solves the technical problem that it is difficult for a traditional single motor to balance the requirements of low-speed high-efficiency and high-speed high-power. The small motor can operate efficiently under low-power and low-speed conditions to meet the demand for long-term low-power output; while the large motor plays a role in high-power and high-speed scenarios, providing strong power support. The two are seamlessly switched through an intelligent control method, enabling the entire system to cover a wide range of speeds and powers, thereby adapting to the complex and changeable working conditions. This multi-functional adaptation ability greatly improves the practicality of the motor device and provides a reliable technical guarantee for various working condition requirements.

[0060] (2) A dual-motor device proposed by the present invention has an innovative coaxial integration structure. Aiming at the mechanical redundancy defect of the existing dual-motor device, the present invention uses a single rotating shaft to carry the rotors of the large and small motors, and realizes the coupling of the power output of the dual motors through the nested design of the large motor and the small motor. This design overcomes the technical prejudice that a traditional dual-motor device requires a double rotating shaft or an additional transmission mechanism. While ensuring the torque transmission efficiency, the axial space is compressed to less than 50% of the traditional scheme. The coaxial nesting of the dual motors faces three challenges: the mutual penetration of the magnetic fields of the large and small motors leads to a sharp drop in efficiency, the high-speed rotation of the rotor causes a resonance risk, and the thermal expansion in a narrow space is likely to cause structural interference. The present invention creatively proposes a hierarchical magnetic shielding technology. Through the special magnetic circuit design of the stator and rotor and the asymmetric winding layout, magnetic field decoupling is achieved; an integrated rotor bracket and a dynamic balance tuning system are used to eliminate the vibration caused by uneven mass distribution; combined with the thermal expansion compensation gap design, stable operation is achieved within a millimeter-level installation space. In addition, this coaxial integration structure effectively eliminates the vibration harmonics caused by the misalignment of the double rotating shafts, thereby reducing the vibration source, realizing smooth operation in low-power output scenarios, and effectively suppressing the generation of vibration and noise. This low-noise characteristic not only improves the user experience but is also environmentally friendly and suitable for applications in noise-sensitive scenarios.

[0061] (3) The dual-motor device proposed by the present invention features a differentiated independent cooling system design. In response to the problem that the traditional single-motor cooling structure cannot adapt to the nested dual-motor, the present invention achieves precise heat dissipation through a separated waterway architecture: the cooling waterway for the large motor adopts an external sandwich spiral flow channel, maximizing the heat dissipation area using the radial space of the motor housing (1) to adapt to the large flow demand under high power; the cooling waterway for the small motor is integrated inside the tail end cover and adopts an axial microchannel design to match the mild heat dissipation demand under low-power conditions; the two cooling waterways achieve dynamic flow distribution through multiple pipe joints to avoid mutual interference between the cooling requirements of the two motors. The integrated cooling of the housing needs to solve the problems of limited flow channels, heat stress concentration, and electromagnetic interference. The present invention breakthroughly adopts the bionic fractal flow channel topology technology to maximize the heat dissipation area within a limited space; develops a carbon fiber composite housing material with both high thermal conductivity and low thermal expansion coefficient to avoid structural deformation caused by cooling temperature differences; innovatively applies a nano-insulating coating to block the eddy current path in the cooling waterway. Through multi-dimensional collaborative design, the dual improvements of high-efficiency heat dissipation and structural reliability are achieved. This design overcomes the problem of uneven heat flow distribution caused by directly applying traditional single-motor cooling structures (such as spiral water channels and axial microchannels) to the nested dual-motor of the present invention, and can quickly dissipate heat to ensure the stable operation of the motor.

[0062] (4) The dual-motor control method proposed by the present invention has efficient energy management capabilities. In response to the energy consumption characteristics under different working conditions, by real-time monitoring and analyzing the operating states, temperature changes, and power demands of the small motor and the large motor, the working mode is dynamically adjusted. When the rotational speed demand is low, the small motor operates independently to minimize energy consumption; while when the power demand is high, the large motor starts to operate to meet the short-term high-load requirements. In addition, based on the judgment method of the power saving coefficient and the temperature coefficient, the present invention can accurately control the switching timing of the motor, further optimizing the energy distribution efficiency. This efficient energy management method significantly reduces the operating cost of the device and extends the service life of the motor.

[0063] (5) The dual-motor control method proposed by the present invention, by real-time judging the desired rotational speed and the motor performance boundary, preferentially enables the small motor to operate independently in the low rotational speed range, switches to the large motor to dominate in the high rotational speed range, and dynamically evaluates the power saving coefficient in the medium rotational speed range to achieve the optimal efficiency mode selection. Combining the torque coupling characteristics of the coaxial structure, it avoids the mechanical losses of the traditional dual-motor system and significantly improves the energy efficiency utilization rate.

[0064] (6) The dual-motor control method proposed by the present invention, based on the small motor stator temperature prediction function, uses historical operating data to predict the temperature rise trend and dynamically adjusts the operating mode threshold. When the temperature coefficient exceeds the power saving benefit, it is forced to switch to the large motor for operation, breaking through the lag defect of traditional temperature feedback and ensuring that key components operate within a safe temperature range.

[0065] (7) A dual-motor control method proposed by the present invention constructs a motor degradation model based on historical operation data and dynamically corrects threshold parameters such as rated speed and maximum speed, which can extend the service life of key components.

[0066] The present invention is applicable to fields with high requirements for multi-condition adaptability such as electric vehicles and ship drives. Especially in scenarios where high efficiency, low noise, and high power output need to be considered, it can provide excellent solutions. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0127] A dual-motor device further includes a resolver bracket 10, a protective cover 11, a detachable transition shaft 30, and a resolver 33.

[0128] The resolver 33 is used to measure the actual rotational speed of the motor. When the resolver 33 is needed, the detachable transition shaft 30 is connected to the shaft 23, the resolver 33 is fixed on the transition shaft 30, the resolver bracket 10 is connected to the resolver 33, the resolver bracket 10 extends to the tail end bearing outer cover 34, there is a gap between the resolver bracket 10 and the tail end bearing outer cover 34, and the protective cover 11 is fixed on the resolver bracket 10.

[0129] When the resolver 33 is not needed, the detachable transition shaft 30, the resolver bracket 10, and the resolver 33 can be removed, and the protective cover 11 is directly fixed on the tail end bearing outer cover 34.

[0130] As Figures 2 - 3 shown, a dual-motor device further includes a large motor cooling water inlet 2, a long outlet pipe joint 3, a large motor cooling water path 4, an upper water pipe 5, a short inlet pipe joint 7, a small motor cooling water path 8, a large motor cooling water outlet 16, a large motor internal space 19, a short outlet pipe joint 28, a long return pipe joint 29, and a lower water pipe 32.

[0131] The motor housing 1 is provided with a large motor cooling water path 4, a large motor cooling water inlet 2, and a large motor cooling water outlet 16. The tail end cover 6 is provided with a small motor cooling water path 8.

[0132] The large motor cooling water inlet 2 is used as an inlet to introduce water into the cooling water path 4.

[0133] The long outlet pipe joint 3 passes through the tail end cover 6 and is connected to the large motor cooling water circuit 4, and the other end is connected to the upper water pipe 5. One end of the short inlet pipe joint 7 is connected to the small motor cooling water circuit 8, and the other end is connected to the upper water pipe 5.

[0138] When the small motor rotor 15 rotates, the generated electromagnetic force acts on the small motor stator 14 and is transmitted to the machine shell 1 through the tail end cover 6, increasing the vibration propagation path and effectively reducing the vibration value of the motor.

[0139] The small motor of the present invention is composed of a small motor rotor 15 and a small motor stator 14. The large motor is composed of a large motor rotor 31 and a large motor stator 17. It can meet the requirements of both small power, low speed working conditions and large power, high speed working conditions. When it is necessary to operate under small power, low speed working conditions, the small motor rotor 15 drives the rotating shaft 23 to rotate. When it is necessary to operate under large power, high speed working conditions, the large motor rotor 31 drives the rotating shaft 23 to rotate. The small motor rotor 15 and the large motor rotor 31 do not rotate actively at the same time.

[0140] As Figure 4 shown, a dual-motor control method, the method is implemented based on the dual-motor device of the present invention, and the dual-motor is controlled according to information such as the desired speed, power prediction function, predicted motor stator temperature function, etc. The specific method is as follows:

[0141] The functional relationship between the actual speed and power of the small motor is:

[0142] P1 = a1n12 +b1n1+c1(1)

[0143] Wherein:

[0144] P1 is the power of the small motor running at the actual speed;

[0145] n1 is the actual speed of the small motor;

[0146] a1, b1, c1 are function fitting coefficients.

[0147] The functional relationship between the speed and power of the large motor is:

[0148] P2 = a2n2 2 +b2n2+c2(2)

[0149] Wherein:

[0150] P2 is the power of the large motor running at the actual speed;

[0151] n2 is the actual speed of the large motor;

[0152] a2, b2, c2 are function fitting coefficients.

[0153] Step 1: Determine the relationship between the current desired speed n d and the rated speed n s1 of the small motor, the maximum allowable speed n 1max of the small motor. The maximum allowable speed n 1max of the small motor is:

[0154] n 1max =δn d (3)

[0155] where δ>1 is the excess coefficient.

[0156] If n d <n s1 , the small motor runs and the large motor does not run.

[0157] If n d ≥n 1max , the large motor runs and the small motor does not run.

[0158] If n 1s ≤n d <n 1max , go to Step 2.

[0159] Step 2:

[0160] Substitute n1 = n d into Equation (1) to obtain the power P1 of the small motor running at the speed of n d .

[0161] Substitute \(n_2 = n\) d into Equation (2), and the power \(P_2\) of the large motor running at speed \(n\) is obtained. d

[0162] Estimate the power saving coefficient \(p\) when the small motor runs at speed \(n\) d :

[0163] \(p=\lambda_1(P_2 - P_1) / P_2\) (4)

[0164] where \(\lambda_1\) is the adjustment coefficient.

[0165] Step 3:

[0166] Given the expected speeds \(n\) di , \(i = 1,\cdots,n\)

[0167] and the stator temperatures \(K\) of the small motor at the previous \(n\) moments 1i , \(i = 1,\cdots,n\)

[0168] Then the average stator temperature at the previous \(n\) moments is

[0169] The average expected speed at the previous \(n\) moments is

[0170] The estimated function of the small motor stator temperature is:

[0171] \(K_1 = an\) d + b (5)

[0172] where \(a\) and \(b\) are the coefficients of the estimated function of the small motor stator temperature:

[0173]

[0174] Given the current stator temperature \(K\) of the small motor 1t and the actual speed \(n\) of the current small motor 1t . Substitute \(n\) d = \(n\) 1t into Equation (5), and the estimated stator temperature \(K\) 1t ' of the small motor at the current moment is obtained. The estimation error of the current stator temperature of the small motor is:

[0175] \(\alpha\) 1t = \(K\) 1t - \(K\) 1t ' (7)

[0176] Revise the coefficient \(a\) of the estimated function of the small motor stator temperature. The revision amount \(\Delta a\) of the coefficient \(a\) is:

[0177] ​

[0178] Among them, λ is the weight coefficient.

[0179] The coefficient a of the small motor stator temperature prediction function is corrected to:

[0180] a′ = a + Δa (9)

[0181] The corrected small motor stator temperature prediction function is:

[0182] K1′ = a′n d + b (10)

[0183] Step 4: Substitute the current desired speed n d into the corrected small motor stator temperature prediction function to obtain the predicted stator temperature K1′. The upper limit value of the small motor stator temperature is K 1max , the preset temperature warning value K p , and calculate the stator temperature coefficient k when the small motor operates overloaded:

[0184]

[0185] Among them, ρ ∈ (0, 0.3) is the small motor stator temperature safety factor.

[0186] Step 5: Judge the relationship between the stator temperature coefficient k and the saved power coefficient p. If k > p, it means that the temperature coefficient exceeds the saved power coefficient, then the large motor operates and the small motor does not operate. If k ≤ p, it means that the saved power coefficient exceeds the temperature coefficient, then the small motor operates and the large motor does not operate.
