ABSTRACT

In-wheel motor is a power source of distributed drive system for electric vehicles,which has the exclusive advantages in dynamic performance, handling stability and energy saving. In-wheel motor’s working condition is related to vehicle driving safety. Aiming at the common faults of in-wheel motor, a novel method based on rotating speed is presented to monitor fault detection, which is called “order self-separation method (OSSM)” in the paper. Firstly, the signal of rotating speed is processed to extract the speed fault signal which is the abnormal fluctuation components of the rotating speed when a fault occurs. Secondly, the speed fault signal is translated into angle-domain signal from time domain signal. Finally, the orders of the speed fault signal are analyzed to extract the fault features. In the paper, the phase leakage fault of permanent magnet brushless DC motor is taken as an example to verify the effectiveness of the proposed method. And the order characteristics of rotating speed under different leakage degree and working conditions are analyzed. Experimental result shows that the OSSM can effectively identify the leakage faults of in-wheel motor under different conditions.
