TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to a kind of axial flux motor load air gap magnetic field calculation method, specifically a kind of three-dimensional analytical method of stator non-magnetic yoke modular axial flux motor load air gap magnetic field considering curvature effect, leakage and magnetic saturation. BACKGROUND
[0002] Stator non-magnetic yoke modular axial flux motor has compact structure, high power density and torque density, and has broad application prospect in new energy and other related fields. Motor armature reaction air gap magnetic field is one of the important indicators for evaluating motor performance, and based on armature reaction air gap magnetic field, key parameters such as motor output torque, efficiency and loss can be analyzed. Due to the geometric structural characteristics of axial flux motor, the magnetic field distribution is uneven in three-dimensional space, which increases the difficulty of its magnetic field calculation. In order to accurately evaluate the running state of stator non-magnetic yoke modular axial flux motor, it is crucial to accurately calculate its armature reaction air gap magnetic field.
[0003] The main methods for calculating the air-gap magnetic field of the armature reaction of axial flux motors include the finite element method and the analytical method. The three-dimensional finite element method calculates the magnetic field distribution of the axial flux motor by discretizing the model into several units and solving Maxwell's equations for each unit. To ensure the accuracy of the three-dimensional finite element model, precise meshing is required, which significantly increases the calculation time of the model, leading to a sharp increase in the time cost of the design and optimization of axial flux motors. The analytical methods for the magnetic field of axial flux motors mainly include the sub-domain method, the relative permeance method, and the equivalent magnetic circuit method. The relative permeance method uses the conformal transformation method to solve the complex relative permeance function and analyzes the effect of stator slotting on the air-gap magnetic field. Patent CN113868929A calculates the air-gap magnetic field of an external rotor axial flux motor using the relative permeance function and solves the electromagnetic force wave based on the air-gap magnetic field to analyze the vibration and noise of the motor. The sub-domain method divides the motor into different regions and solves the Poisson equation in each sub-domain to obtain the air-gap magnetic field of the motor. Patents CN117477882A and CN117477881A divide the area between the inner and outer radii of the rotor, the area between the upper and lower surfaces of the rotor in the axial direction, and the area between the air-gap and the stator interface into three annular cylindrical regions: the internal sub-domain, the middle sub-domain, and the external sub-domain. In the three-dimensional cylindrical coordinate system, the Poisson equation and the Laplace equation are solved in the above sub-domains, and the equivalent air-gap is calculated by introducing the Carter coefficient to analyze the effect of stator slotting on the magnetic flux density. However, the Carter coefficient cannot analyze the effect of slotting on the magnetic field distribution of the motor, cannot accurately consider the influence of complex slotting, and may introduce large errors. The equivalent magnetic circuit method converts the complex magnetic field problem into a magnetic circuit problem by equivalent the motor components to corresponding magnetic sources or magnetic resistances to calculate the magnetic field distribution of the motor. Patent CN116796675A considers the leakage magnetic phenomenon of the axial motor and establishes an equivalent magnetic circuit model of the stator without a magnetic yoke. According to the model, the motor is optimized for multiple targets. This model can analyze the leakage magnetic phenomenon of the motor, but different magnetic circuit models need to be established according to the relative position of the stator and the rotor. With the increase in the number of nodes of the equivalent magnetic circuit model, the matrix dimension and the solving time of the model increase sharply. Patent CN116244847A proposes a three-dimensional analytical method for calculating the no-load air-gap magnetic field of a stator without a magnetic yoke modular axial flux motor. It discloses a method for calculating the no-load axial air-gap magnetic field B pmz (r,θ,z) and the tangential air-gap magnetic field B pmθ (r,θ,z) generated by the permanent magnet of the motor, but it has not solved the three-dimensional air-gap magnetic field generated by the armature reaction of the motor.
[0004] In summary, the existing analytical methods have the following problems when calculating the load air-gap magnetic field of the stator without a magnetic yoke modular axial flux motor:
[0005] (1) The slotting effect, curvature effect, leakage magnetic effect, and magnetic saturation effect of the stator without a magnetic yoke modular axial flux motor are not fully considered, which may affect the accuracy of the analytical results.
