Design Research on Stator-Segmented Flux-Reversal Motor

Traditional stator-permanent magnet flux-reversal motors have the problems of large cogging torque, limited improvement of power density, and low fault-tolerant performance. Based on the traditional flux-reversal motor, this paper proposes a design scheme of a flux-reversal motor with a stator-segmented double-winding and double-sequence permanent magnet structure. The motor adopts a stator-segmented modular design, each independent stator segment is connected by permanent magnets, and a bipolar permanent magnet array is arranged on the teeth of the stator segment. Meanwhile, a double-winding system composed of independent power windings and fault-tolerant windings is configured to realize the dual characteristics of high power density and high reliability. A two-dimensional finite element model is established to simulate and analyze the motor, which verifies the feasibility of the motor structure design. The simulation results show that the motor has improved operation stability, better fault-tolerant performance, and theoretically lower maintenance cost, as well as being especially suitable for the petroleum and chemical industries, electric vehicles, aerospace, and other application fields with high requirements for motor reliability and power density.
