Abstract
Dual-mechanical-ports motors, as a new motor type, have two mechanical ports that can operate independently or simultaneously. It has good application prospects in new energy generation and hybrid power systems with the advantages of compact structure and high integration. In this paper, a novel symmetrical-stator axial flux dual-mechanical-ports switched reluctance motor is proposed. The number of stator poles is 16, and the poles of the two rotors are 14 and 10, respectively. The three-dimensional finite element analysis model is built in Altair Flux software. The electromagnetic performance such as magnetic density, flux linkage, static torque, and decoupling characteristics are analyzed adopting the finite element analysis method. The results proved the effectiveness of the new motor structure.
