Abstract
In response to the problems of considerable size, loose structure, and low energy conversion efficiency of multi-energy power coupling devices, this paper makes improvements based on the mechanical–electric–hydraulic power coupler proposed by our research group. We propose a new asynchronous mechanical–electric–hydraulic power coupler (IA-MEHPC). This mechanism integrates a traditional three-phase asynchronous motor with a swashplate axial piston pump/motor to realize the mutual conversion of electrical, mechanical, and hydraulic energy. Compactness, efficiency, and adaptability are the distinguishing features of the complex. This paper builds a three-dimensional model of the IA-MEHPC and a two-dimensional theoretical model of the electrical structure (motor part). Moreover, the electrical structure parameters of the IA-MEHPC are optimized using an approximate response surface-based optimization method. The maximum motor peak torque and minimum torque fluctuation are identified as optimization objectives, and we obtain the optimal combination of parameters. The simulation results show that, compared to the pre-optimized structure, the peak motor torque of the optimized IA-MEHPC is increased by 5.78%, and the torque pulsation coefficient is reduced by 15.83%, in line with engineering practice expectations. This paper innovatively proposes and optimizes IA-MEHPC, which is significant for developing hybrid mechanical devices and subsequent research.
