Application and Control Method of Electromagnetic Synchronizer for Double Rotor Motor Power Coupling System

Abstract

On the double rotor motor power coupling system existing now, electromagnetic coupling of the inner motor is the only way to transmit engine power to drive axle. And this leads to the low transmission efficiency when the vehicle is driven by the engine. Aiming at this issue, this paper proposes the improvement measure, which is to add the electromagnetic synchronizer between the input shaft and the output shaft. According to the thinking of this measure, the paper analyzes the operating process of the electromagnetic synchronizer. Then using quadratic optimal control theory, the optimal PID control method is designed to control the duty ratio of the electromagnetic synchronizer driving voltage. In order to test the validity of the method, the paper builds the simulation model in Matlab/Simulink software. The simulation results indicate that the optimal PID control method can effectively control the work process of electromagnetic synchronizer. It can achieve the balance between frictional work and longitudinal jerk, and decrease the impact reasonably when the electromagnetic synchronizer switching its state.
