| Summary: | The mechatronic-electro-hydraulic coupler (MEHC) is a novel type of multisource coupling power device which integrates a traditional permanent magnet synchronous motor with a swash plate axial piston pump/motor to realize the mutual conversion of electrical energy, mechanical energy, and hydraulic energy. In order to improve the MEHC’s noise, vibration, and harshness performance, an electromagnetic vibration and noise simulation analysis was performed with a six-pole 36-slot motor as the research object. Firstly, the spatial order and frequency of the radial electromagnetic force were deduced by an analytical method. Subsequently, the electromagnetic field was simulated, and the electromagnetic force was extracted via a fast Fourier transform using Ansys/Maxwell software for the numerical verification. Thereafter, the harmonic response module coupled the electromagnetic field with the structural field for the harmonic response analysis. Ultimately, the research results were imported into the harmonic acoustics module for a noise simulation analysis and two different-shape magnetic isolation bridges optimization schemes were proposed. The results suggested that both optimisation solutions could effectively reduce motor vibration and noise. Scheme one reduced the maximum noise by about 6.5% and scheme two by 10.4%. The analysis process and conclusion provide a theoretical basis for the vibration and noise analysis of permanent magnet synchronous motors with different integer slots.
