Design of Rotor Magnetic Barrier Structure of Built-in Permanent Magnet Motor Based on Taguchi Method

Abstract

In this paper, a 20kW vehicle built-in permanent magnet synchronous motor is taken as an example, and a magnetic barrier structure is added to the rotor of the motor to solve the uneven saturation problem of the rotor side magnetic bridge. This structure improves the air-gap flux density waveform of the motor by influencing the internal magnetic flux path of the motor rotor, thus improving the sine of the no-load back EMF waveform of the motor and reducing the torque ripple of the motor. At the same time, Taguchi method is used to optimize the structural parameters of the added magnetic barrier. In order to facilitate the analysis of its uneven saturation phenomenon and improve the optimization effect, a simple equivalent magnetic network (EMN) model considering the uneven saturation of rotor magnetic bridge is established in this paper, and the initial values of optimization factors are selected based on this model. Finally, the no-load back EMF waveform distortion rate, torque ripple and output torque of the optimized motor are compared and analyzed, and the influence of magnetic barrier structure parameters on the electromagnetic performance of the motor is also analyzed. The results show that the optimized motor can not change the output torque of the motor as much as possible on the basis of reducing the waveform distortion rate of no-load back EMF and torque ripple.
