A Rotary Transformer and Wireless Excitation System for Axial Flux Electric Excitation Motor
摘要
Electric excitation synchronous motor has the advantages of no rare earth components and controllable excitation. These characteristics align well with the electric drive system's requirements for low cost and a wide speed regulation range. The traditional electric excitation synchronous motor requires brushes and collector rings to power the excitation winding, which hinder compact design and increase maintenance. A wireless excitation system with strong coupling capability and constant current output is proposed for axial flux electric excitation motor. Based on the magnetic field coupling wireless power transfer technology, a series-series resonant compensation topology is adopted to achieve constant current output. The coupling mechanism adopts a rotary transformer with an iron core structure to achieve high-coupling transmission. The windings use Litz wire to reduce high-frequency loss. Multi-parameter optimization design is applied for the coupling mechanism to meet the requirements of low loss and compactness. Finally, a simulation model of a multi-field coupled wireless excitation system is established. Under a 500 V DC voltage input, the excitation current is adjusted from 10 A to 60 A. The wireless excitation system achieved an efficiency exceeding 80%, with a peak efficiency of 95%. The simulation results prove the feasibility of the wireless excitation system for axial flux electric excitation motor based on wireless power transfer technology.
