As a highly integrated and compact power unit, the motor-pump finds critical applications in emerging electric vehicle (EV) domains such as electro-hydraulic braking and steering systems, where its vibration and noise performance directly impacts cabin comfort. A key factor limiting its NVH (Noise, Vibration, and Harshness) performance is the electromagnetic vibration and noise induced by the cogging torque of the built-in brushless DC motor (BLDCM). Traditional suppression methods that rely on stator auxiliary slots exhibit certain limitations. To address this issue, this paper proposes a collaborative optimization method integrating multi-parameter scanning and response surface methodology (RSM) for the design of auxiliary slots on the motor-pump’s stator teeth. The approach begins with a multi-parameter scanning phase to identify a promising region for global optimization. Subsequently, an accurate RSM-based prediction model is established to enable refined parameter tuning. Results demonstrate that the optimized stator structure achieves a 91.2% reduction in cogging torque amplitude for the motor-pump. Furthermore, this structure effectively suppresses radial electromagnetic force, leading to a 5.1% decrease in the overall sound pressure level. This work provides a valuable theoretical foundation and a systematic design methodology for cogging torque mitigation and low-noise design in motor-pumps.
