Abstract

Magnetic gears are magnetically coupled to the input side and the output side of the rotary machine to transmit power without mechanical contact. The magnetic gear consists of an inner rotor, an outer rotor and pole pieces. Torque ripple occurs due to the difference in reluctance between the two rotors and the pole pieces during power transmission. Torque ripple is a cause of the noise and vibration of the rotary machine, so it is necessary to minimize it. In this paper, we propose a shape that cuts the corner of the pole piece and apply a fillet to reduce torque ripple. We used a two-dimensional finite element analysis method to compare and analyze the torque ripple of the magnetic gears according to the change of the fillet parameters and to find the pole piece shape with excellent torque ripple.

마그네틱 기어는 기계적인 접촉 없이 회전 기계의 입력측과 출력측이 자기적으로 결합되어 동력을 전달한다. 마그네틱 기어는 내측회전자, 외측회전자, 폴피스로 구성되어 있으며, 동력전달 시 두 회전체와 폴피스 사이의 자기저항 차이로 토크리플이 발생하게 된다. 이러한 토크리플은 회전기계의 소음과 진동의 원인이 되기 때문에 최소화하는 방안이 필요하다. 본 논문에서는 토크리플 저감 방안으로 폴피스의 각진 모서리를 깎아 필렛을 적용한 형상을 제안하였다. 2D 유한요소해석법을 활용하여 필렛 파라미터 변화에 따른 마그네틱 기어의 토크리플을 비교 및 분석하고 토크리플이 우수한 폴피스 형상을 모색하였다.
