Hunan Industry Polytechnic, Changsha 410208) Abstract:The dual in-wheel motor electric includes reducer, differential gear, drive shaft and vehicle has the advantages of fast response and other parts. A downside to hub motors being direct high flexibility, while its stability and safety are drive is that it wastes a certain amount of energy more difficult to control. To study the stability when drive wheels are rotated. Therefore, it can be control of the dual in-wheel electric vehicle when inferred that the energy waste will be very low turning, firstly, the paper establishes the Ackerman when we utilize hub motors drive without reducer model of the dual in-wheel electric vehicle, and and other parts.[1,2] controls the wheel speed and slip rate by the Aiming at the features of the independently method of logical threshold value; then establishes controllable and quick response of torque of the linear two degree of freedom model of the wheels in a hub motor-driven EV, the electronic double hub electric vehicle, obtains the vehicle differential control strategy is proposed with yaw moment and ideal yaw rate by using the driving wheel torque as control variable and slip mathematical formula, and controls the wheel rate equilibrium of two driving wheels as control speed and slip rate by the sliding mode control. objective. [3] In order to solve the problem of The moment is distributed so that the actual yaw traditional yaw moment control, for example, rate keeps tracking the ideal value. The electronic profound calculation and poor adaptability, several differential control strategy of wheel slip rate and solutions have been proposed, including an wheel yaw rate is established. Finally, the control adaptive lateral stability control system based on strategy is simulated by MATLAB. The simulation Fuzzy Neural Network(FNN)[4], a distributed results show that the proposed control strategy of estimation algorithm based on cooperation [5], and slip rate and yaw rate can make the vehicle drive an adaptive sliding mode control method based on stably when turning. feedback linearization[6]. Qu Shuai contended that Key words: in-wheel motor; steering the driving torque can be controlled by the sliding stability; slip rate; yaw rate; sliding mode mode, and he studied the rollover situation and put control; electronic differential forward the corresponding anti-rollover strategy in his master degree dissertation.[7] Wang Chen 1 Introduction argued in his master’s degree paper that, with the The continuous expansion of car ownership actual tyre-road friction and wheel slip ratio as the has not only brought tremendous convenience to input of fuzzy control, the torque output of each people’s production activities and daily life , but driving wheel is controlled by the sliding mode also caused the consumption of energy and variable structure control theory, so that the slip environmental pollution.

Based on the comparative analysis of the performance characteristics of centralized and distributed drive electric vehicles, we found that the wheel hub motor drive mode of the electric vehicles with distributed drive have compact structure, high utilization ratio of interior vehicle space, lower center of vehicle gravity, good driving stability, easy intelligent control and many other advantages, hence in line with the new requirements for the development of drive performance of electric vehicles, and distributed drive will be the ultimate mode of electric vehicles in the future. Keywords Electric Vehicle, Drive Mode, Wheel Hub Motor, Development Analysis. 1 Foreword Compared with conventional vehicles, electric vehicles have the advantages of high efficiency of energy conversion, low noise, zero emission, etc., and the load-carrying property and wide range speed control characteristics of motors can remove the mechanical devices such as clutch and gearbox, simplifying the structure and facilitating maintenance [1, 2]. Driven by the dual pressures of energy and environment nowadays, the world’s major automobile producing countries are developing electric vehicle industry with unprecedented efforts. Electric vehicles are creating a new pattern of the automobile industry, which will sure lead the main direction of the automobile industry development. As the core component of an electric vehicle, the quality of driving motor has a great influence on the power, economical efficiency and safety of the electric vehicle.

  • Development of Wheel Hub Motor Drive Application in Electric Vehicles
    Sabancı University Program for Undergraduate Research (PURE) Summer 2017-2018 DEVELOPMENT OF WHEEL HUB MOTOR DRIVE APPLICATION IN ELECTRIC VEHICLES Melike - Cezayirlioğlu [email protected] Undeclared, Sophomore Murat – Büyük Mechanical Engineering Abstract At most 100-word summary of the problem and the findings. In order to choose the optimum type of electric motor for Formula Student type race car applications, literature review has been conducted. Electric motor types such as AC Induction Motor (ACIM), Brushless DC (BLDC) Motor, Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motor (PMSM) and Stepper Motor & Switched Reluctance (SR) motors are compared. Results have shown that Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motor is the best option with its 95 percent efficiency. Further research has done comparing sub categories of PMSMs which are Interior Permanent Magnet motor (IPM) and surface mounted PM machines (SPM) in which IPM motors are selected as the best candidate for traction applications with their higher capacity of torque production. Finally, SolidWorks design of wheel assembly parts comprising planetary, upright and motor has been done using design parameters and dimensions. Keywords: Hub motor, FSAE, Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motor, Interior Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motor. 1 Introduction Electric motor concept revolutionized the industry by their extensive advantages over the internal combustion engines (IC) by means of low environmental effect and efficiency (Çakır, 2004, p.1). As an alternative solution to non-renewable fossil fuels, electric vehicles gained popularity in the automotive industry (Kucinski, Liang, Davis, &Masucci, 2017, p.10). The electric motor under this project was designed for the Formula SAE competition which is an international university student design competition (Carraro, Degano, Morandin & Bianchi, 2013).
