A Novel Variable Reluctance Resolver for HEV/EV Applications

摘要

In order to simplify the manufacturing process of variable reluctance (VR) resolvers for hybrid electric vehicle/electric vehicle (HEV/EV) applications, a novel VR resolver with nonoverlapping tooth–coil windings is proposed in this paper. A comparison of the winding configurations is first carried out between the existing and the proposed designs, followed by the description of the operating principle. Furthermore, the influence of actual application conditions is investigated by finite-element (FE) analyses, including operating speed and assembling eccentricity. In addition, identical stator and windings of the novel design can be employed in three resolvers of different rotor saliencies. The voltage difference among the three rotor combinations, as well as the detecting accuracy, is further investigated. Finally, prototypes are fabricated and tested to verify the analyses.
