摘要：In order to develop an electrical continuously variable transmission (E-CVT) to replace mechanical power coupling equipment applied in series-parallel hybrid electric vehicle (HEV), this paper proposes a magnetic-field modulated brushless dual-mechanical port motor with Halbach array permanent magnets, which has a more compact structure. The operating characteristics are analyzed by the lever analogy. It is concluded that the motor can realize the speed and torque decoupling between the engine and the wheel, which meet multi-mode operation requirements for HEV. To realize the multi-objective design of torque output, torque ripple and usage amount of permanent magnets, an optimization scheme combined parameter sensitivity with response surface methodology is adopted. The trade-offs among the optimization objectives are considered, then the key structural parameters and its optimal values are efficiently determined. Based on a two-dimensional model, the electromagnetic performances are simulated and analyzed. The results show that, after the parameters optimization, the no-load back electromotive force (EMF) has better sinusoidal characteristic, and the torque ripples and cogging torque peaks of the motor have been significantly reduced. Furthermore, a prototype motor is tested. The experimental results are consistent with the simulation results, which demonstrates the validity of the proposed structure and parameter optimization method.
