Abstract:
This article proposes and implements an integrated wireless motor system using the laminated magnetic coupler (LMC) and commutative-resonant control (CRC). Prominently, a unique wireless power transfer system is developed to directly drive the switched reluctance motor (SRM) over an extendable distance with all controls centralizing in the transmitter. Differing from the multifrequency wireless motor system, the proposed system first employs the single resonant frequency to wirelessly drive a multiphase SRM through the single power transfer channel. Particularly, two orthogonal bipolar coils and one unipolar coil are skillfully integrated and naturally decoupled to form an LMC which acts as the transmitter, intermediate, and receiver coils, respectively. By utilizing the CRC to sequentially energize coils in the transmitter, the SRM phase windings can be properly excited by relevant coils in the receiver, which takes the distinct advantages of balanced phase currents, flexible transfer distance, high integration, and free maintenance. A prototype is constructed with the system efficiency of 89.14% and motor speed of 1500 rpm under the distance of 200 mm. Both theoretical and experimental results are provided to validate the feasibility of the proposed system.
