Analytical design of the integrated motor used in a hubless rim‐driven propulsor

The rim-driven integrated motor propulsor (IMP) has received much attention in recent years, owing to its superiority in flexibility, reliability, and space occupation. For this propulsion system, radially thin motors with high torque and large air gaps are essential. Two-segment Halbach array permanent magnets with unequal segment-arc are adopted to enable a thin rotor and a large air gap. The general analytical solution of the magnetic field is presented. Based on the analytical calculation of the Halbach motor performance, the necessity of the rotor core was discussed, and the Halbach array was optimised with an analytical method to maximise the electromagnetic torque. This study also tried and compared three designs of the integrated motor stator to further reduce the radial thickness, and the slotted stator proved more reasonable. The fabrication of an IMP prototype was completed, and the experimental data of the integrated motor are presented and compared with the calculated results. This study also conducted the water tunnel experiment of the IMP prototype to test the integrated motor performance in the overall IMP system. The measured rotational speed and output thrust are less than expected, so the friction loss in the IMP gap flow field is calculated and analysed.

Design and Performance Test of Axial Halbach Brushless DC Motor with Power Density 1.5 Kw/Kg

Progress of technology on electric vehicle component sector is one reason the emergence of electric vehicles at the moment. Starting from battery which has a great current density up to the automatic control systems on electric vehicles. But there are still some shortcomings of this electric vehicle components, one of which is the low value of power density of existing electric motor in the market today. On vehicles such as electric cars when Race Car Contest, energy saving problems about power density of the driving motor is very vital. This is because the total weight of the vehicle has a huge influence on the vehicle efficiency is against it. The issue is one of the reasons of the research task. In this final task is done making the design, simulation, and architecture of the Axial Halbach Brushless DC Motor. Use of system configuration on the halbach magnet to avoid the use of iron as a material cantilever rotor. By changing the material of the cantilever rotor with lighter materials such as aluminum or even carbon fibre, the value of power density electric motors can be increased. Then using the litz wire on coil stator to reduce loss-power loss due to the barriers on the coil. Coreless stator on the system and to avoid the phenomenon of cogging at the time due to low rpm style attraction magnet with iron in the core material. While the creation process begins by determining the specifications of the Axial Halbach Brushless DC motors. Then go into the design phase of the mechanical and electrical design. Who then conducted simulations to help determine other parameters such as air gap, slot turn, and magnetic orientation. The process of making a component of stator and rotor after the simulation is completed. After all the components of the rotor and stator on assembly, mounting the hall sensor is carried out to the right to position obtained by reading the signals. After the motor can spin with good motor performance, testing can be done. This final task generates Axial Halbach Brushless DC Motor with construction of one rotor and a stator. Axial DC Brushless Halbach Motor consists of 10 pole halbach magnet system permanent and 30 slot on the stator. On the performance test of Axial Halbach Brushless DCMotor it obtained efficiency of 92.72%, power output of 807.34 Watts, torque of 2.24 Nm, moment rpm 3451. As well as the power density of 0.588 kW/kg at 50% throttle openings

Modern motor needs high speed, high efficiency, high power density and low pulsating torque, traditional rare earth permanent magnet motor manifests its limitation. Halbach motor is a novel permanent magnet motor. Analysis of Halbach motor based on ANSYS proves its merits: sinusoidal field, higher air gap flux and lower rotor yoke flux, which can reduce pulsating torque and improve power density, efficiency of the motor, these merits can improve its dynamic characteristics greatly.

This paper studies the application of Halbach array in optimal design of Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motors (PMSM). First, the paper demonstrates the intrinsic sinusoidal magnetic field and one-side magnetic shielding effect produced by Halbach array in FEM. Afterward, a serious of Halbach motor models based on different segment numbers per pole are established combined with Ansoft.

On the basis of calculations above, the magnetization intensity expression of a randomly magnetized Halbach motor in a pole, and the air-gap flux density distribution of randomly magnetized Halbach motor are obtained; and the relationship of air-gap flux density between the numbers of poles, permanent magnet thickness as well as magnetizing angle are analyzed. The finite element method and experimental results verify the effectiveness of the methods above.
