Abstract

The vibration problem of a switched reluctance motor (SRM) comes from its structure and operation principle, and seriously affects its application. In fact, the vibration is caused by the radial electromagnetic force of SRM. The electromagnetic field numerical calculation software Magnet can simulate the direction of radial electromagnetic force. In addition, the Maxwell stress method was used to deduce the judgment rule of the direction of radial electromagnetic force in an experiment of measuring the flux distribution of SRM stator model. The finished test results confirmed the calculation results of Magnet software. On this basis, using the pressure of liquid cooling medium to reduce the radial electromagnetic force, a new type of switched reluctance motor stator structure is designed by immersing the whole stator with a moving fluid formed by the evaporative cooling liquid medium. It is proved by ANSYS and ANSYS Workbench software that under the effect of temperature difference, the evaporative cooling medium flows at a certain velocity field which strengthened the liquid pressure and the liquid pressure of the evaporative cooling medium counteract the radial electromagnetic force, and meanwhile weaken the vibration caused by it. As a conclusion, all the simulations show that the new type of SRM stator structure filled with evaporative cooling medium can reduce the SRM stator vibration speed by 40%.
