Electromechanical integrated magnetic gear

Abstract

This study proposes a new type of magnetic gear, namely, the electromechanical integrated magnetic gear, that integrates the traditional field-modulated magnetic gear, drive, and control. The topology and operating principle of the electromechanical integrated magnetic gear are described in detail in this article, and the constraints of parameter design and speed ratio of electromechanical integrated magnetic gear are presented. Moreover, magnetic field distribution is analyzed with the finite element method. Subsequently, the harmonics of the magnetic field and the electromagnetic torque are calculated. The static torques on all the components are exhibited by finite element method and torque test. The effects of the design parameters on the torques and the torque densities are discussed, and the results show that electromechanical integrated magnetic gear has a high speed ratio and can generate a high torque at low speed. The maximum torques are affected by air-gap thickness and other parameters.

Complex systems in mechanical engineering

“…The system can generate a high torque at low speed and has extensive applications. 6 In the manuscript ''Mechanism design and motion ability analysis for wheel/track mobile robot,'' Dengqi Cui, Xueshan Gao, and Wenzeng Guo study a wheel/ track mobile robot with a one-way tail rod. First, the mechanical structure of the wheel/track mobile robot is designed and the hardware composition of its control system is given.…”

Analytical calculation and analysis of air gap magnetic field for electromechanical integrated toroidal drive

“…It is important to analyze the inner and outer air gap magnetic field between the planets and the two stators, because the results of the air gap magnetic field analysis not only affect the calculation of the torque, noise, and other characteristics, but also directly influence the control performance of the toroidal drive. 11,12 Recently, the magnetic field analysis of an electromechanical integrated drive is mainly based on the analysis methods of various motor magnetic fields. Among them, the equivalent magnetic circuit method is a traditional method of air gap magnetic field analysis.…”
