Abstract

The article describes a project to create an electric transmission for ground vehicles. As a layout, a motor-wheel variant is proposed, in which a traction electric motor, power electronics, control system and brake system are integrated into the wheel disk. This arrangement of the traction motor allows you to free up the space of the car for comfort and placement of the electric power storage. A combined excitation machine is proposed as an electric motor, the magnetic flux in which is created simultaneously by permanent magnets and an excitation winding. Permanent magnets allow you to increase the power in the limited dimensions of the disk, and the excitation winding allows you to adjust the magnetic flux, which significantly expands the range of speeds and torques of the vehicle. The design of the electric motor is innovative and protected by a patent of the Russian Federation. To develop a number of similar motor wheels, a design system has been proposed, which consists of two parts: synthesis and analysis. The synthesis system generates the optimal geometry of the electric motor for a specific technical task of the customer. It contains a multi-level structure that allows you to implement developments for various project situations with and without restrictions. The system contains seven such levels. Optimality criteria can be selected depending on the requirements of the project. The analysis system is based on the principle of a digital double. Its methodological basis is the finite element method. The system allows you to conduct a detailed analysis of the electromagnetic and thermal state, to obtain all the necessary integral characteristics. The performance of the design system has been tested on a digital analogue of a real racetrack, which is divided into sections with specified speed modes. The program outputs 15 parameters of both the car and the electric motor. In conclusion, the article shows the design study of a motor wheel for a racing electric car. The design of the prototype and the results of its tests are presented. The design system for the development of motor wheels based on a valve motor of combined excitation can be used for mass production.
