Improvement and application of electromagnetic vibration and noise suppression method for electric vehicle motor

Abstract

Motor induced Electromagnetic Vibration and Noise (EVN) are mainly affected by Radial Electromagnetic Force Wave (REFW) and related harmonic amplitude. Therefore, in the past discussion on the suppression of motor induced EVN, it usually starts from this aspect. For this reason, this study proposes a method to suppress EVN. Firstly, the influence of the quantity of rotor slots on the function of Induction Motor (IM) is analyzed; Then, the optimization strategy of rotor slot fit is proposed according to the results; Finally, an optimization strategy for the skewness of IM is proposed. Based on the above contents, the experiment realized the suppression of EVN induced by electric vehicle motor. The experimental results show that the parameters of the motor are optimal when the quantity of rotor slots is 53. It is better to weaken the harmonic amplitude related to the low-order REFW. The peak values of the motor using the research strategy at the second and third vibration modes are - 35 db Hz and - 38 db Hz respectively, which are lower than those of the traditional motor. To sum up, the strategies proposed in the study can remarkably suppress the EVN of IM and improve the function of electric vehicles, which will promote the electric vehicle industry ‘s development.
