TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the field of maglev train technology, and particularly relates to a high-traction-efficiency maglev train magnetic force system. BACKGROUND
[0002] The low-speed and medium-speed normal-conductance maglev system is widely used in the world. The existing commercial low-speed and medium-speed maglev train adopts the form of holding rails, the traction motor is located above the track surface, the suspension electromagnet is located below the track, and the system integration degree is not high. Moreover, the suspension gap is below the track, the traction gap is above the track, and the two gaps are contradictory, resulting in that the existing motor gap is generally greater than 11mm, which is an important reason for the low traction efficiency.
[0003] At present, there is also an embedded maglev vehicle system, which integrates the electromagnetic force system and the traction magnetic force system together, so that the suspension gap and the traction gap are no longer contradictory. However, because the traditional short-stator motor form is adopted, the motor is arranged inside the electromagnet, and the size of the stator coil of the traditional motor is large, finally resulting in that the acting surface between the motor traction motor rotor core and the induction plate is only a limited part of the track top surface.
[0004] With the development of low-speed and medium-speed maglev trains, on the one hand, there is a higher and higher requirement for the reduction of the cost and energy consumption of the vehicle system. The innovation of the structure of the traction motor has important value for the reduction of the energy consumption of the vehicle system, the lightweight of the vehicle, and the reduction of the cost of the system. On the other hand, in order to enhance the operation demand of the low-speed and medium-speed maglev train and improve the speed and acceleration capacity of the train, it is also a major engineering problem faced by the low-speed and medium-speed maglev technology.
[0005] In summary, in the prior art, the acting surface between the motor rotor core and the induction plate is only one surface, and the traction motor efficiency is not high. The traction motor rotor and the suspension electromagnet of the low-speed and medium-speed maglev train which has been commercially applied are respectively located above and below the track, the system integration degree is low, and the utilization degree of the space under the vehicle is not high. Therefore, how to combine the suspension electromagnet and the traction motor rotor well and propose a reasonable structure design has become an important technical problem urgently to be solved in the technical field.

Detailed Implementation
[0032] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the present invention clearer, the technical solutions of the present invention will be further described below.
[0033] This embodiment proposes a high-traction-efficiency magnetic levitation train magnetic force system, such as... Figure 1 As shown, the system includes a maglev train body 1, a suspension frame 5, electromagnets 4, and a U-shaped track 2. The bottom of the maglev train body 1 is wrapped in the track beam 3 to prevent derailment. The body 1 and the suspension frame 5 are connected by a secondary suspension device. Electromagnets 4 are symmetrically installed at both ends of the suspension frame 5 by a primary suspension device. The U-shaped track 2 is symmetrically installed on the track beam 3, so that the electromagnets 4 are connected to the U-shaped track 2 above them through electromagnetic action, generating a levitation guiding traction force.
[0034] In this embodiment, the U-shaped track 2 includes three layers of ferromagnetic material plates 22 and an innermost aluminum plate 21; the electromagnet 4 is located below the U-shaped track 2, such as... Figure 2As shown, the electromagnet 4 includes a traction motor primary core 12, a primary coil 11 wound around the traction motor primary core 12, a suspension coil core 8, and a suspension coil 13 wound around the suspension coil core 8. The traction motor primary core 12 and the primary coil 11 wound around it constitute the motor primary mechanism. This primary mechanism faces the innermost aluminum plate 21 of the U-shaped track 2. Aluminum is a highly conductive material, and together with the primary mechanism, it forms a short stator motor device, creating a traction magnetic system.
[0035] Meanwhile, the suspension coil core 8 and the suspension coil 13 wound on the suspension coil core 8 constitute a suspension mechanism. This suspension mechanism and the three-layer ferromagnetic material plate 22 of the U-shaped track 2 constitute an electromagnetic suspension device. The suspension mechanism and the three-layer iron plate 22 of the U-shaped track 2 interact to generate electromagnetic force, forming a suspension electromagnet magnetic force system.
[0036] like Figure 2 As shown, the suspension coil 13, wound around the suspension coil core 8, is arranged below the primary mechanism of the motor. The suspension coil core 8 has a U-shaped structure and is fixed below the primary core 12 by the mounting base 9, enclosing the primary mechanism of the motor. This allows the primary electrode mechanism to be located within the space enclosed by the suspension coil core 8 and the U-shaped track 2. Simultaneously, the top surface of the traction motor primary core 12 is horizontally higher than the top surface of the suspension coil core 8. In this embodiment, the mounting base 9 is a fixed connection.
[0037] In the levitation electromagnet magnetic system, the levitation coil 13 generates a magnetic field through excitation, producing a levitation electromagnetic force with the three-layer iron plate 22 of the U-shaped track 2. A closed magnetic circuit is formed between the levitation coil core 8, the levitation air gap, and the U-shaped track 2, thereby resisting gravity and achieving levitation. In this embodiment, active levitation control technology is implemented through the levitation mechanism and the U-shaped track 2. A stable air gap is formed between the lower surface of the U-shaped track 2 and the upper surface of the levitation coil core 8 of the electromagnet 4, thereby achieving stable vehicle levitation. When the electromagnet 4 shifts laterally relative to the U-shaped track 2, the levitation electromagnetic force generates a lateral component force, which is opposite to the direction of lateral shift, thus achieving vehicle guidance. In this embodiment, the current of the levitation coil 13 is controlled by the levitation controller based on the signal from the levitation sensor obtained through high-pass filtering. The control current is calculated using the vertical acceleration signal and the lateral acceleration signal, and a PID control algorithm is used as the levitation control algorithm. The control current is:
[0038] i=k1(δ-δ0)+k2∫(δ-δ0)+k3∫a+k4∫b
[0039] Wherein, i is the control current calculated by the suspension controller, delta-delta0 is the suspension gap deviation, a is the vertical acceleration signal, b is the lateral acceleration signal, k1, k2, k3, k4 are feedback coefficients respectively.
[0040] As shown in the traction magnetic force system, the motor primary mechanism of the short stator motor device adopts a concentrated winding mode, and the primary coil 11 is vertically wound and arranged along the length axis direction of the motor, so as to reduce the effective magnetic force space occupied by the coil. Figure 3
[0041] In the embodiment, the traction motor primary core 12 adopts a T-shaped structure, and the top sensing surface area and the two side sensing surface areas of the U-shaped track 2 are utilized, so as to realize high-efficiency traction.
[0042] In the embodiment, the traction motor primary coil 11 current is controlled by the linear motor controller, and the traveling wave magnetic field (flowing magnetic field) and the induced magnetic field generated by the three surfaces of the innermost aluminum sensing plate 21 of the U-shaped track 2 act on each other, and then the traction force is generated.
[0043] The above is only the preferred embodiment of the present application, and does not limit the present application in any way. Any person skilled in the art can make any equivalent replacement, modification or change to the technical solutions and technical contents disclosed in the present application without departing from the scope of the technical solutions of the present application, and such changes still belong to the protection scope of the present application.
