A surface-mounted permanent magnet (SPM) machine is widely used in many auxiliary parts of an electric vehicle, so its design level directly influences the performance of the electric vehicle. In the design process of the SPM machine, selecting the appropriate stator slot and rotor pole combination and pole arc coefficient is a necessary and important step. Therefore, in this paper, a 750 W machine is set as an example to research stator slot and rotor pole combinations and pole arc coefficients for the SPM machine. First, the design schemes of machines adopting different stator slot and rotor pole combinations are determined according to the winding coefficient, stator size, and electromagnetic performance requirements. Further, finite element models of SPM machines with different stator slot and rotor pole combinations are established by Ansys Maxwell. On this basis, the back electromotive force (back EMF), cogging torque, electromagnetic torque, and loss and efficiency of SPM machines are calculated and compared to select the better stator slot and rotor pole combinations. Further, effects of pole arc coefficient on cogging torque and electromagnetic torque are also researched to guide the selection of the pole arc coefficient in the design process of the SPM machine. Conclusions achieved in this paper will provide guidance for design of the SPM machine.

In order to reduce the cogging torque in dual-rotor permanent magnet (PM) ring torque motor, the expression of cogging torque is deduced on the motor, and the influence rules of the resulting cogging torque are analyzed with change the inner and outer slot opening widths. According to the dual-rotor PM ring torque machine, the method for reducing the cogging torque amplitude and leading a reverse phase torque curve by suitable selection of the inner and outer slot opening widths is proposed. The results of simulation show that selecting the appropriate slot opening widths can effectively reduce cogging torque by the finite element simulation method.

PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to propose a novel axial field flux-switching machine with sandwiched permanent magnets. It is one of the most efficient machines which is appropriate for high-torque and low-speed direct-drive applications. The proposed model is equipped with an advanced phase-group concentrated-coil winding to obtain a unity displacement winding factor. Two configurations of the proposed motors with 6-stator-slot (S)/10-rotor-pole (P) and 12S/19P are investigated. These two structures are compared with optimized a conventional axial-field flux-switching permanent-magnet (CAFFSPM) machine. Unity displacement winding factor increases the back-EMF and electromagnetic torque. Moreover, the prototype 12S/19P motor is built to verify the design. Design/methodology/approachThe torque equation is obtained and the dimensions of the two proposed motors are determined. Some specific design issues, including the stator/rotor pole sandwiching pole angle, the stator tooth angle and the rotor pole angle have been optimized to minimize the cogging torque while maintaining the high torque density by means of response surface methodology (RSM) and 3-D finite element model of the machine. FindingsTo improve the performance, especially at high torque density, low cogging torque and high level of fault-tolerant capability, the 12S/19P axial field flux-switching sandwiched permanent-magnet (AFFSSPM) motor is proposed. Based on the optimized design, a prototype of the 12S/19P AFFSSPM motor is fabricated and tested. It is found that the experimental results validate the 3-D finite element method (FEM) simulation results. Originality/valueThe AFFSSPM motor is one of the most efficient motors, but the 12S/19P AFFSSPM motor with sandwiched permanent magnet and unity displacement winding factor has not been specially reported to date. Thus, in this paper, the authors report on optimal design of a novel axial flux-switching sandwiched permanent-magnet machine for electric vehicles and fabricate a prototype of the 12S/19P AFFSSPM motor.

This paper presents a novel topology of dual airgap radial flux permanent magnet vernier machine (PMVM) in order to obtain a higher torque per magnet volume and similar average torque compared to a conventional PMVM machine. The proposed machine contains two stators and a sandwiched yokeless rotor. The yokeless rotor helps to reduce the magnet volume by providing an effective flux linkage in the stator windings. This effective flux linkage improved the average torque of the proposed machine. The competitiveness of the proposed vernier machine was validated using 2D finite element analysis under the same machine volume as that of conventional vernier machine. Moreover, cogging torque, torque ripples, torque density, losses, and efficiency performances also favored the proposed topology.

Permanent magnet machines with segmented stator cores are affected by additional harmonic components of the cogging torque which cannot be minimized by conventional methods adopted for one-piece stator machines. In this study, a novel approach is proposed to minimize the cogging torque of such machines. This approach is based on the design of multiple independent shapes of the tooth tips through a topological optimization. Theoretical studies define a design formula that allows to choose the number of independent shapes to be designed, based on the number of stator core segments. Moreover, a computationally-efficient heuristic approach based on genetic algorithms and artificial neural network-based surrogate models solves the topological optimization and finds the optimal tooth tips shapes. Simulation studies with the finite element method validates the design formula and the effectiveness of the proposed method in suppressing the additional harmonic components. Moreover, a comparison with a conventional heuristic approach based on a genetic algorithm directly coupled to finite element analysis assesses the superiority of the proposed approach. Finally, a sensitivity analysis on assembling and manufacturing tolerances proves the robustness of the proposed design method.

Several constructions of electromagnetic actuators with moving permanent magnet for Braille screen are studied. All they are formed from a basic one that consists of two coils, core and moving permanent magnet. The finite element method is used for modeling of the magnetic field and for obtaining the electromagnetic force acting on the mover. The static force-stroke characteristics are obtained for four different constructions of the actuator. The constructions with ferromagnetic disc between the coils ensure greater force than the ones without disc and can reach the required minimum force.

The cogging torque of a novel dual-rotor axial field flux-switching permanent magnet (DRAFFSPM) machine is investigated in this paper. The analytical equation of the DRAFFSPM machine is deduced. Based on 3D finite element method, the influences of the design parameters on the cogging torque are analyzed. The H-shaped stator tooth with slot chamfer is proposed and the slot opening width and chamfer thickness are optimized to reduce the cogging torque. It shows that the cogging torque is the minimum when the stator tooth width and stator magnet width equal to 8o and 7.5o mech., respectively. The cogging torque can be reduced by ~64% when the rotor pole width is 1.6 times that of the original design. The cogging torque can be reduced by ~80% when the chamfer is added in the stator slot.
