Abstract

In view of the characteristics of electromagnetic harmonic movable teeth transmission system, the heat loss has been analyzed in this paper based on basic assumptions. At the same time, the calculation methods of electromagnetic loss and mechanical loss in system have been also discussed. Moreover, the influence of changes of system parameters on electromagnetic loss and mechanical loss has been analyzed through employing the field-circuit coupling finite element method. According to the analysis results, the numerical calculation model of the three-dimensional temperature field of system can be established. And the theoretical basis can be provided for the optimization design of electromagnetic harmonic movable teeth transmission system and the improvement of transmission efficiency of transmission system.

Keywords: Electromagnetic harmonics, electromagnetic loss, mechanical loss, structural parameters.
