Design, Analysis, and Experimental Verification of a PM-Based Hybrid Brake System for Personal e-Mobility Applications

초록

In this research, a hybrid eddy current brake (ECB) system is proposed for use in electric kick scooters. The system utilizes a combination of friction, kinetic energy, and electromagnetic energy to improve braking performance and maintenance characteristics. The braking systems of three commercial electric kick scooters were benchmarked in order to retrofit the proposed ECB system onto an existing drivetrain. Additionally, a 3D finite element analysis (FEA) based design approach was used to maximize braking torque while meeting specific design constraints. To experimentally verify the proposed ECB model's braking torque, dynamometer measurements were conducted. The design approach presented in this research can be applied to other personal mobility applications with similar space constraints. © 2023 IEEE.
