The magnetoelectric seismometer is crucial for seismic monitoring. Its magnetic field structure, core energy conversion component, not only determines sensitivity but also largely dictates nonlinear errors. Conventional dual magnetic ring designs, based on coaxial nesting with radial magnetization, suffer from incomplete magnetic circuits and edge effects. These cause flux leakage at the air gap edges, reducing flux density and distribution uniformity. To address these issues, this study innovatively proposes an axial-radial hybrid magnetic field structure. By combining an axially magnetized compensation ring with a centrally located, radially magnetized annular permanent magnet, with profiled magnetic boots, the structure guides peripheral flux toward the center of the working air gap, enhances magnetic circuit closure, and enlarges the inner magnetic yoke radius to reduce flux saturation; these design features work to suppress edge flux leakage, thereby improving the uniformity of the air gap magnetic field. Simulation and experimental results show that the new structure achieves a magnetic flux density of 1,031 mT, which is a 16.10% increase over the 888 mT of the conventional dual magnetic ring designs. The uniform field region expands to 8.30 mm, with a 12.16% improvement in uniformity. The peak sensitivity reaches 1702 V/(m·s−1), a 10.95% increase from the original structure (1534 V/(m·s−1)), significantly enhancing the detection capability for weak seismic signals. This study presents an innovative axial-radial hybrid magnetic field structure that resolves the conflict between flux density and field uniformity, simultaneously enhancing sensitivity and suppressing nonlinear errors, thus establishing a new paradigm for high-performance magnetoelectric seismometer design.
