Research on Design and Dynamics Characteristics of New Drive System with Dual Motors and Dual Planetary Gears for Heavy Electric Trucks
Aiming at electric trucks adopt a driving configuration of a central motor combined with a gearbox
leading to issues such as high-power consumption of the driving motor
difficult spatial arrangement of the transmission system
and low transmission efficiency. Taking the Shaanxi automobile Delong M3000 series 18 t tractor as the research object
a novel dual-motor dual-planetary wheel-side distributed drive system capable of dual-motor torque-coupling drive and single-motor drive modes is proposed. The basic parameters of the dual permanent magnet synchronous motors in the new drive system are theoretically calculated. A joint simulation platform based on the Workbench platform and the Maxwell software is established
and a multi-objective optimization method for dual-motor parameters using genetic algorithms is proposed to obtain the optimal solutions for output torque
torque fluctuation rate
and maximum back electromotive force. The mechanical structure assembly of dual motors and dual planetary gears with rated powers of 60 and 30 kW
and rated speeds of 3 500 and 1 500 r/min
respectively
is designed
manufactured
installed
and tested along with a computer experimental platform. A vehicle control strategy based on logical threshold values and a motor control scheme based on vector control are developed
and experiments on motor performance in two operating modes and mode switching are conducted. The research results indicate that the designed dual-motor dual-planetary gear train drive system exhibits a maximum speed fluctuation rate of 2.58% and a maximum torque fluctuation rate of 5.5% in both operating modes
showing good output response and providing a reference for practical applications of this principle.
