Resumen

Hollow-cup motors are usually used in spacecraft because of their low power consumption and high control accuracy. However, because the air-gap between the permanent magnets (PMs) and the rotor of the hollow-cup motor is uniform, the sinusoidal characteristic of the air-gap magnetic field waveform is inferior and the total harmonic distortion (THD) is large, resulting in torque ripple. For the large air-gap hollow-cup motor, the existing methods for optimizing the sinusoidal characteristics of the air gap magnetic field change the shape of PMs, but the changed PMs are difficult to manufacture and magnetize, resulting in the methods being limited and not being able to achieve the ideal optimization effect for the hollow-cup motor. Based on the characteristics of the inner rotor and outer rotor rotating synchronously during operation, a new structure design of the hollow-cup motor with an eccentric inner rotor is proposed instead of changing the PMs? shape. Firstly, the mathematical model of the hollow-cup motor is established. Then, the FEM shows that the inner rotor?s eccentricity can bring the air-gap magnetic field waveform closer to the ideal sinusoidal waveform and can effectively reduce the THD. Finally, a prototype with the optimal eccentricity value is made for experimental verification.
