Effect of vehicle-track vertical coupling vibrations on frame-mounted traction motor dynamics

Abstract

In order to reveal the effect of the vehicle-track vertical coupling vibrations on the frame-mounted traction motor dynamics, a vehicle-track vertical coupling dynamic model with considering the influence of the frame-mounted traction motor is established, and the correctness of the model is verified by real vehicle test. In case of the investigated vehicle model, the influences of the vehicle-track vertical coupling vibrations and the suspension parameters on the frame-mounted traction motor dynamics are discussed. The results show that the traction motor is significantly affected by the train system, when the motor is equivalent to the bogie frame mass, the phenomenon of underestimation exists to evaluate the vibration of the motor. In addition, suspension parameters have a great impact on the traction motor dynamics, rational selection suspension parameters can help to attenuate the vibration of the traction motor, and alleviate uneven the distribution of the air gap magnetic field of the traction motor.
