Abstract:

A driving-control-strategy was simulated for a novel multi-degree-of-freedom (multi-DOF) spherical-induction-motor (SIM) to make city-micro-electric-vehicles having omni-directional-steering-function. A multi-DOF driving control strategy was proposed on the base of the design principle and structural characteristics of SIM. Four working sectors were set by analyzing SIM torque output based on the deflection angle of the spherical rotor. The working state of stators was adjusted by judging the sector position where the spherical rotor located; and a direct torque control was adopted to make the torque output of stators on the spherical rotor along the target direction. The results show that this SIM control strategy can achieve rotation driving control at two degrees-of-freedom without any limitation of rotor deflection angle. Thanks for having appropriate dynamic characteristics and tracking performance of the proposed strategy, its reasonable feasibility is verified.
