Abstract

In the armature structure of traditional electromagnetic induction coil launcher, the armature tail melted due to heat accumulation. In this paper, three new armature structures are proposed. Based on the finite element software maxwell2D, the single-stage electromagnetic induction coil launcher, model is established. The performance indexes of traditional and new armature structures are compared, and the influence of the thickness of traditional armature structure and the side thickness of new structure on temperature rise and electromagnetic performance is studied. On the basis of Maxwell-thermal finite element, the correctness of the temperature field conclusion is verified. The simulation results show that the traditional armature structure has the optimal thickness and the armature performance remains unchanged when the weight ratio and the mechanical strength of the armature are considered. Structure 3 and Structure 4 of the new structure significantly improve the temperature rise of the armature and enhance its emission performance. Due to the eddy current, the optimum side thickness of the new structure 3 and structure 4 is slightly larger than 1/2 of the armature length.
