Description
Summary:In order to provide a complete solution for designing and analyzing the axial flux permanent magnet synchronous motor (AFPMSM) for electric vehicles, this paper covers the electromagnetic design and multi-physics analysis technology of AFPMSM in depth. Firstly, an electromagnetic evaluation method based on an analytical algorithm for efficient evaluation of AFPMSM was studied. The simulation results were compared with the 3D electromagnetic field simulation results to verify the correctness of the analytical algorithm. Secondly, the stator core was used to open the auxiliary slot to optimize the torque ripple of the AFPMSM, which reduced the torque ripple peak-to-peak value by 2%. From the perspective of ensuring the reliability, safety, and driving comfort of the traction motor in-vehicle working conditions, multi-physics analysis software was used to analyze and check the vibration and noise characteristics and temperature rise of several key operating conditions of the automotive AFPMSM. The analysis results showed that the motor designed in this paper can operate reliably.
