In order to maintain a constant operating acceleration of the equipment, the thrust output of the drive motor in the flexible electromagnetic propulsion system will increase sharply. The motor and supporting power components need to be selected and designed according to the peak thrust, resulting in a large redundancy in the overall size and weight of the system, which seriously restricts the improvement of the system's thrust density.

[0059] The optimization design method for a flexible propulsion system driven by a hybrid electromagnetic and inertial system according to embodiments of the present invention includes the following steps:
[0060] Step 1: Calculate the average acceleration of the propelled object based on its starting position, ending position, and launch velocity at the ending position.
[0061] The distance traveled by the object being propelled (i.e., the distance traveled by the object on the x-axis from...) Exercise The distance traveled is divided into N equal segments. Assuming the acceleration within each segment is constant (i.e., the object being propelled undergoes uniformly accelerated linear motion in each segment), and the velocity of the object being propelled at the starting position is 0, the average acceleration of the object being propelled can be approximated. :

[0063] in, Let V be the launch velocity of the propellant at the final position. To increase the distance, , Let x be the x-coordinate of the starting position of the object being propelled. The x-coordinate of the endpoint of the propelled object.
[0064] Step 2: Calculate the tension of the flexible rope based on the average acceleration of the object being propelled, the mass of the object being propelled, and the angle between the flexible rope and the vertical direction; the vertical direction is perpendicular to the direction of travel of the object being propelled.
[0065] The angle between the flexible rope and the vertical direction is... Figure 3 shown Angle, during the movement of the propelled object, The angle will gradually decrease, and the corresponding angle at each position of the propelled object during its movement will be... The calculation formula is:

[0071] Step 3: Based on the average acceleration of the propelled object, the velocity of the propelled object, the angle between the flexible rope and the vertical direction, and the vertical distance between the flexible propulsion system and the propelled object, calculate the contraction speed of the flexible rope and the rate of change of the contraction speed of the flexible rope with time.

[0073] (4)
[0074] in, The velocity of the object being propelled at various locations during its movement.
[0075] The contraction speed of the flexible rope at each position during the movement of the propelled object Over time rate of change for:
[0076] (5)
[0077] Step 4: Calculate the additional force of the motor based on the rate of change of the flexible rope contraction speed with time and the equivalent translational mass of the flywheel.
[0078] Additional motor force at various positions during the movement of the propelled object The calculation formula is:
[0079] (6)
[0080] in, The flywheel's equivalent translational mass is expressed in kg. The additional force from the motor is also considered. This refers to the additional force applied to the flexible traction mechanism.
[0081] Step 5: Calculate the tension of the electromagnetic motor based on the tension of the flexible rope and the additional force of the motor.
[0082] The flexible propulsion system of this invention satisfies the dynamic topology optimization equation (i.e., during the movement of the propelled object, the electromagnetic motor tension is the sum of the flexible rope tension and the motor's additional force). Based on the dynamic topology optimization, the electromagnetic motor tension at each position during the movement of the propelled object can be obtained. for:
[0083] (7)
[0084] Step 6: Calculate the power of the electromagnetic motor based on the tension of the electromagnetic motor and the retraction speed of the flexible rope.

[0090] Set the equivalent translational mass of the flywheel The value range and step size are set, and the value is taken within the range according to the set step size. Values, calculated point by point The values correspond to the electromagnetic motor's pulling force and power, ensuring that the peak pulling force of the electromagnetic motor does not exceed the motor's maximum allowable pulling force. As a constraint, with the goal of minimizing the peak power of the electromagnetic motor, the optimal [engine / motor] is determined. Value range and optimal value.
[0091] Step 9: Allocate power to the electromagnetic motor and the flywheel energy storage device based on the optimal equivalent translational mass of the flywheel.
[0092] Control unit according to optimal The corresponding electromagnetic motor power is allocated to the electromagnetic motors within each power mechanism. Based on the required propulsion power and the electromagnetic motor power, power is also allocated to the flywheel energy storage device within each power mechanism, ensuring that the sum of the electromagnetic motor power and the flywheel energy storage device power meets the propulsion power requirement. Thus, when the required propulsion power is low, and the thrust output by the motor exceeds the thrust required for the current acceleration of the propelled object, the flywheel energy storage device can store energy to absorb the excess power (i.e., store a portion of the motor's thrust in the flywheel energy storage device), ensuring that even when the motor outputs maximum thrust, the acceleration of the propelled object will not exceed the maximum acceleration. When the required propulsion power increases and the thrust output of the motor cannot meet the thrust required for the current acceleration of the propelled object, the flywheel energy storage device can release energy to fill the power gap (i.e., supplement the required thrust). This invention can achieve power peak shaving and valley filling by setting up an inertial energy storage unit.
[0093] This invention constructs a flexible propulsion system with hybrid electromagnetic and inertial drive. By allocating power between the electromagnetic drive unit and the inertial energy storage unit, peak power shaving and valley filling are achieved, enabling heavy-load, high-speed propulsion under motor torque limitations. This invention derives a method for calculating the peak power of the motor under motor tension limitations and proposes an optimized design method for allocating power between the electromagnetic drive unit and the inertial energy storage unit based on the optimal equivalent translational mass of the flywheel, achieving the optimal ratio of electromagnetic and inertial components.
[0094] Figure 4 The figures show the curves of the motor peak power variation under different K values in this embodiment of the invention. Figure 5 This is a curve showing the variation of the peak tension of the motor under different K values in an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 4 , Figure 5 As shown, the peak power of the motor exhibits a trend of first rapidly decreasing and then slowly increasing with the increase of the K value, and the curve of the peak power change shows a clear "U" shape. The constraint is that the peak tension of the motor (i.e., the upper limit of the tension) does not exceed 15 kN. Within the range of K values that meet the constraint, the peak power of the motor reaches its minimum value (i.e., the pentagram mark in the figure) near K=170 kg, that is, the optimal K value is 170 kg. At this time, the peak power of the motor is approximately 370.94 kW, and the peak tension of the motor is approximately 14.78 kN (meeting the ≤15 kN requirement). Compared with the traditional scheme without inertial links (K=0), after adopting K=170 kg, the peak tension of the motor is reduced from the excessive value to the safe range, and the peak power of the motor is significantly reduced.
[0095] When K=170 kg, the peak power of the motor is approximately 370.94 kW; when K=165 kg, the peak power is approximately 372.5 kW; and when K=175 kg, the peak power is approximately 372.1 kW. K=170 kg is a strict minimum value. The power variation is gradual near this minimum value, indicating that within the range of K=168–172 kg, the increase in peak power does not exceed 0.5 kW, which is acceptable in engineering and provides a margin for flywheel manufacturing tolerances.
[0096] When K < 170 kg and K ≥ 182 kg, the peak motor tension > 15 kN, indicating motor overload; when 170 kg ≤ K < 182 kg, the peak motor tension ≤ 15 kN, satisfying the constraint. At K = 170 kg, the peak motor tension is approximately 14.78 kN, leaving a safety margin of approximately 1.46%, which satisfies the constraint without excessively increasing the flywheel inertia and causing other performance degradation. Figure 4 and Figure 5 The curve shown verifies that the present invention can precisely control the peak tension of the motor by adjusting the K value, so that it falls within a safe range, while providing a feasible domain boundary for minimizing the peak power of the motor in the future.
[0097] Figure 6 This is a curve showing the variation of the motor's peak power within the preferred K value range in this embodiment of the invention. Figure 6 for Figure 4 A magnified view of a local area within the optimal K-value range. For example... Figure 6 As shown, the preferred K value range is 170–182 kg, with a step size of 2 kg. From Figure 6The following conclusion can be drawn: within the preferred K value range, the peak power of the motor increases basically linearly with the change of K value.
