Abstract

The non-contact permanent magnet gear has advantages of high efficiency and improved reliability. It has other advantages of no mechanical friction loss, very little noise and vibration, and no need for lubricant. With these advantages, the non-contact permanent magnet gear that solves the physical contact problem of the mechanical gear has drawn attention. Due to this unique non-contact characteristic, the non-contact permanent magnet gear which is capable of non-contact torque transmission has replaced mechanical gear. The mechanical gears which is in many fields of the modern industry, is used mostly for power transmitting mechanical devices. However, it also has the problem of a low torque density, which requires improvement. In this paper, a novel pole piece shape is proposed in order to improve the problem of low torque density of the non-contact permanent magnet gear. The experiment data required for predicting the relationships among them are obtained using finiteelement Operating method based on two-dimensional (2-D) numerical analysis. Therefore, this paper derived an optimal model for thenon-contact permanent magnet gear with the novel pole piece using the Box-Behnken design, and the validity of the optimal design of the proposed pole piece shape through variance analysis and regression analysis demonstrated. In this paper, we performed the thransfer torque analysis in order to improve the torque density and power density, we have performed on optimal design of proposed pole piece shape using box-behnken.

비접촉 영구자석 기어는 높은 효율과 신뢰성의 장점을 가지고 있다. 또한, 기계적인 마찰 손실이 없으며, 소음과 진동이 적고, 윤활유가 불필요 하다는 장점을 가지고 있다. 이러한 장점으로 인하여, 비접촉 영구자석 기어는 기계적 기어의 물리적인 접촉에 의한 문제를 해결할 수 있어 높은 관심을 받고 있다. 비접촉 영구자석 기어는 기계적 기어를 대체하여 접촉 없이 토크 전달이 가능하지만 낮은 토크밀도의 문제점을 가지고 있어, 이에 대한 개선이 요구된다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 비접촉 영구자석 기어의 낮은 토크밀도의 문제점을 개선하고자 새로운 폴피스 형상을 제안하였다. 제안된 폴피스 형상에 대한 설계변수와 토크 및 토크 리플과 같은 반응변수들 간의 함수 관계를 파악하기 위하여 반응표면법을 이용하였으며, 박스-벤켄 설계를 이용하여 실험계획법을 수립하였다. 이들의 관계를 예측하기 위해 필요한 실험데이터는 수치해석기반 2-D 유한요소법을 이용하였다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 비접촉 영구자석 기어의 토크밀도 및 출력밀도 향상을 위하여 형상에 대한 전달토크 분석을 수행하였으며, 박스-벤켄 설계를 이용하여 제안된 폴피스 형상을 최적설계 하였다.
