An Improved Analytical Model of Permanent Magnet Eddy Current Magnetic Coupler Based on Electromagnetic-Thermal Coupling

There is a serious nonlinear between the sensitive parameters and the transmission capacity of the permanent magnet eddy current magnetic coupler (PMEC), and how to establish the accurate analytical model is very important to study its characteristics, optimize design and improve control accuracy. In order to solve the problem that the accuracy of analytical model deteriorates under the variable parameters of the PMEC, based on the electromagnetic-thermal theory, the electromagnetic-thermal nonlinearity of materials, such as the thermal effect of magnetic properties, the thermal effect of permeability, the thermal effect of conductivity, the magnetic saturation effect, the skin effect, the eddy current inductive reactance, have been deeply studied in this paper. On this basis, the multi-field coupling analytical model of the PMEC sensitive parameters and material electromagnetic thermal nonlinearity is established by using the magnetic equivalent circuit theory and lumped parameter thermal network method. Combined with numerical simulation and experiment, the research on electromagnetic characteristics, temperature characteristics and transmission characteristics of the PMEC are carried out. The comparative study shows that the proposed analytical model can accurately analyze the electromagnetic characteristics, temperature characteristics and transmission characteristics of the PMEC without any correction coefficient under different parameters. The accuracy of the analytical model with variable parameters is effectively solved, and the model theory of the PMEC is improved. The accurate analytical modeling method has laid theoretical foundation for the rapid optimization design and wide application of the PMEC.
