摘要

The present study proposes a novel modular transverse flux dual-rotor switched reluctance motor (MTF-DRSRM), which integrates the operational principles of switched reluctance motors (SRMs) with the structural advantages of transverse flux machines (TFMs). The motor employs H-shaped modular stator cores and segmented rotor discs with embedded pole modules, employing toroidally-wound concentrated windings for excitation. Compared to conventional SRMs, the MTF-DRSRM leverages the transverse flux configuration to enable flexible decoupling of electric and magnetic loads. This design effectively enhances torque density and operational efficiency, making it suitable for high-performance drive applications such as electric vehicles. This paper introduces the fundamental structure, operational principles, and electromagnetic design methodology of the MTF-DRSRM. Due to the three-dimensional distribution of the motor’s magnetic field, 3D magnetic field computation using finite element analysis (FEA) is employed to calculate key parameters, including magnetic flux linkage and torque characteristics. The design validation is performed by comparing theoretical parameters with 3D-FEA simulation results, ensuring accuracy and reliability. This work provides a robust theoretical foundation and empirical data for further optimization and practical implementation of the proposed motor topology.
