Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of new energy vehicle power system technology, specifically involving an asymmetric six-phase hub axial flux motor, control strategy, and two-speed coaxial reducer architecture. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, the powertrain motors used in new energy vehicles, including electric vehicles (EVs), hybrid electric vehicles (HEVs / PHEVs), range-extended electric vehicles (REEVs), and fuel cell electric vehicles (FCEVs), mostly employ three-phase permanent magnet synchronous motors (IPMSMs). IPMSMs offer advantages such as small size, lightweight design, and high efficiency, leading to their widespread application. Permanent magnet synchronous motors can be categorized into two types based on their flux path: radial flux permanent magnet synchronous motors (RFPMSMs) and axial flux permanent magnet synchronous motors (AFPMSMs).

[0003] Radial flux permanent magnet motors (AFPMs) have a ring-shaped stator and rotor structure with radially distributed air gap flux, resulting in poor heat dissipation and low core magnetic field utilization. Axial flux permanent magnet motors differ significantly from traditional radial flux permanent magnet motors in structure. Their stator and rotor are arranged in parallel, with axially distributed air gap flux, offering advantages such as small size, light weight, high torque density, and high efficiency. Based on the stator and rotor arrangement, typical AFPM topologies can generally be classified into four types: single-stator single-rotor structure, double-stator single-rotor structure, double-rotor single-stator structure, and multi-disc structure.

[0004] However, AFPM has its drawbacks: Radial flux motors have a cylindrical air gap, with the rotor rotating inside the stator. The air gap length remains constant radially along the motor's axial length, meaning the air gap magnetic field is uniformly distributed circumferentially. In contrast, axial flux motors have a planar air gap, with the rotor and stator discs placed parallel to each other. The rotor discs rotate, and their linear velocities differ at different radii: the outer edge has a larger radius and higher linear velocity, resulting in faster magnet sweep across the stator; the inner edge has a smaller radius and lower linear velocity, resulting in slower magnet sweep across the stator. This difference in linear velocity directly leads to an uneven radial distribution of the air gap magnetic field, with a higher flux change rate and stronger induced electromotive force at the outer edge, and a weaker magnetic field at the inner edge. This increases eddy current and hysteresis losses in the stator core, making it difficult to further improve efficiency at high speeds. It also causes torque pulsation, resulting in motor vibration and noise, affecting driving comfort.

[0005] In addition, traditional three-phase motors can only stop when the drive motor is disconnected, which has poor fault tolerance and cannot guarantee the functional safety of the whole vehicle; and the existing powertrain system is still insufficient in improving the low-speed climbing ability and maximum speed of the whole vehicle. Summary of the Invention

[0006] The main objective of this invention is to provide an asymmetric six-phase hub axial flux motor, control strategy, and reducer architecture, overcoming the problems of torque pulsation caused by uneven air gap magnetic field in existing axial flux motors, poor fault tolerance of traditional three-phase motors, and difficulty in powertrain systems to balance low-speed climbing ability and maximum vehicle speed.

[0007] To achieve the above objectives, this invention provides an asymmetric six-phase hub axial flux motor, employing a single stator and single rotor topology, wherein: The single stator consists of two sets of star-connected windings. The two sets of windings are spatial double Y-shifted 30-degree asymmetric topology, and the midpoints of the two sets of windings are isolated from each other. The first set of windings is Um-Vm-Wm, and the second set of windings is Us-Vs-Ws. The electrical angular phase difference between the two sets of adjacent windings is 30 degrees. The two sets of windings are matched with a two-level controller (the controller has 2...). 6 =64 switching states), the six-phase motor coordinate system is mapped to three orthogonal coordinate spaces: α-β space, xy space, and zero-sequence n1-n2 space; the coordinate system corresponding to α-β space is used to control the fundamental current and torque output; the coordinate system corresponding to xy space is used to control the current harmonics; the coordinate space corresponding to zero-sequence n1-n2 space is the zero-sequence space and does not participate in energy conversion; (α-β space, xy space, and zero-sequence n1-n2 space belong to the stationary coordinate system; in order to solve the complex, time-varying, and coupled AC control problems under the stationary coordinate system, it can be transformed into DC control under the easier rotating coordinate system) The α-β coordinate system is transformed from the stationary coordinate system to the dq rotating coordinate system, and the AC quantity is transformed into the DC quantity to achieve decoupling control, while the xy space and zero-sequence n1-n2 space are processed in the stationary coordinate system.

[0008] To achieve the above objectives, this invention provides a control strategy for an asymmetric six-phase hub axial flux motor, specifically implemented through the following steps: Step S1: Set the wheel hub drive torque (the wheel hub drive torque command is issued by the vehicle controller VCU, and the asymmetric six-phase wheel hub axial flux motor is converted into command current to control the motor in order to meet the command torque requirement).

Step S2: Calculate the six actual currents in the dq coordinate system, xy coordinate system, and zero-sequence n1-n2 coordinate system. The six-phase winding phase currents Ium, Ivm, Iwm and Ius, Ivs, Iws in the single stator of the asymmetric six-phase axial flux permanent magnet motor are transformed into six currents in the dq, xy, and n1-n2 coordinate systems by the following formula: ; The angle of the motor rotor; Ium, Ivm, and Iwm are the three-phase currents of the first winding; Ius, Ivs, and Iws are the three-phase currents of the second set of windings; and Let be the d-axis and q-axis currents in the dq rotating coordinate system; and For the x-axis and y-axis currents in the xy coordinate system; and For the n1-n2 axis currents in the zero-sequence n1-n2 coordinate system; Step S3: Calculate the d-axis and q-axis voltages in the dq rotating coordinate system.

Step S5: Setting the current command value in the xy coordinate space. ; Step S6: Four-vector voltage SVPWM (Space Vector Pulse Width Modulation) control. The two-level controller has 64 switching states. The vectors corresponding to the 64 switching states in the α-β and xy spaces are represented by the following formula: ; ; in, and Let S represent the voltage composite vectors corresponding to the α-β and xy spaces, respectively, and let S represent the switching states of all bridge arms. This represents the switching state of the first set of windings. This represents the switching state of the second set of windings. 1 indicates the upper bridge arm is on and the lower bridge arm is off, and 0 indicates the upper bridge arm is off and the lower bridge arm is on. The vector sequence number uses binary numbers to represent the switching state. , Convert to octal representation (e.g.: =1, =1, =0, =1, =0, =0; the corresponding binary number is 110100, which is 64 in octal. To improve voltage utilization, a 360-degree electrical cycle is divided into 12 sectors, Section 1 to Section 12, each with a 30-degree control area. Within each sector, the synthesized voltage vector in the α-β and xy coordinate systems is... and Voltage synthesis is performed using four maximum voltage vectors; In sector 1 (taking sector 1 as an example). , , , The four maximum vectors are synthesized, and according to the volt-second balance principle, the following is obtained: ; ; The voltage composite value in the α-β coordinate system. The voltage composite value in the x-y coordinate system is obtained by transforming the dq coordinate system to the α-β coordinate system.

[0009] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention also provides a reducer architecture equipped with an asymmetric six-phase hub axial flux motor, which is used in conjunction with the asymmetric six-phase hub axial flux motor. The reducer architecture includes a two-speed coaxial planetary gear set and wet friction brake pad mechanisms B1 and B2.

Through the planet carrier of the two-speed planetary gear set mechanism, power is output to the wheels (the two-speed architecture can significantly improve low-speed climbing ability and the maximum speed of the vehicle).

[0010] As a further preferred technical solution to the above technical solution, when in 1st gear, the wet friction brake pad mechanism B2 is disengaged, and the wet friction brake pad mechanism B1 is engaged (equivalent to the planetary gear ring speed nR=0); the motor TM receives power through the coaxial planetary gear sun gear S1, then transmits power through the planetary gear P1, and finally the power is directly output to the wheels by the planet carrier C for driving; the 1st gear reduction ratio is calculated by the following formula: ; in, The reduction ratio for the first gear of the planetary gear set is... This refers to the number of teeth on the planetary gear ring. Let nR be the number of teeth on the first sun gear of the planetary gear set, at which point the rotational speed of the planetary gear set ring gear is nR = 0.

The number of teeth on the first solar wheel of the planets. Let nS2 be the number of teeth on the second sun gear of the planetary array. At this time, the rotational speed of the second sun gear of the planetary array is nS2=0.

[0012] The beneficial effects of this invention are as follows: 1. Within the limited space of the wheel hub, the power density of the drive motor is further increased by inventing an asymmetric six-phase axial flux permanent magnet motor (ASPAFPMSM) electric drive system and control method. At the same time, the fault tolerance of the motor is improved. In the event of a drive motor disconnection, a traditional three-phase motor can only stop, while a six-phase motor can reduce its output power and continue to run, greatly improving the functional safety of the entire vehicle.

[0013] 2. The new control algorithm for the asymmetric six-phase axial flux permanent magnet motor can effectively suppress torque pulsation caused by the non-uniformity of the air gap magnetic field by directly controlling the harmonic current.

[0014] 3. The asymmetric six-phase axial flux permanent magnet motor is deeply integrated with the two gearbox, further improving the vehicle's low-speed climbing ability and maximum speed.

[0015] 3. Based on the asymmetric six-phase axial flux permanent magnet motor ASPFPMSM and a two-speed coaxial planetary gear reducer, it can be installed in the rear-wheel drive and two-wheel drive wheel hubs of new energy vehicles, including electric vehicles (EVs), hybrid vehicles (HEVs / PHEVs), range-extended electric vehicles (REEVs), and fuel cell vehicles (FCEVs), as well as in the drive wheel hubs of two-wheeled motorcycles and three-wheeled vehicles, with a wide range of applications.
