This paper discusses the design and control of a switched reluctance motor (SRM) drive system for a built-in car vacuum cleaner. The growing popularity of outdoor activities and recreation has led the automobile industry to expand technologies that increase the convenience of vehicles, and thus, a built-in car vacuum cleaner was introduced. However, the existing DC motor of a vacuum cleaning system has several disadvantages, such as maintenance cost and lifespan issues of its commutator-brush structure. An SRM can be a good alternative to the existing DC motor because of its high-speed capability, long lifespan, low maintenance cost, and high efficiency, among other advantages. A prototype SRM drive is designed and manufactured to verify its feasibility for use in a built-in car vacuum cleaning system. Dynamic simulation is conducted to determine the optimal switching angle for maximum efficiency and minimum torque ripple. Load test, noise measurement, and suction-power tests are also carried out.

본 논문은 차량용 Built-in 청소기용 SRM(Switched Reluctance Motor) 드라이브 시스템 개발에 대하여 설명한다. 기존의 청소기용 모터는 대부분 영구자석을 사용하는 PMSM 또는 BLDCM이다. 그러나 영구자석의 주 원료인 희토류 광물가격의 상승으로 인해 영구자석형 모터를 대체할 비 희토류 모터(SRM)에 대한 관심이 커지고 있다. 본 논문에서는 제작된 차량용 Built-in 청소기용 SRM의 유한요소해석 데이터를 바탕으로 한 Matlab/Simulink 시뮬레이션 및 실제 실험을 통하여 가능성을 검증하였다.
