Driving System Design and Power Source Parameter Optimization of Tractor with Dual-Motor Coupling Drive.

For the poor working conditions of tractors, single-motor drive tractors usually choose a motor with large parameters, which leads to the lower efficiency of the motor under low-load conditions. Taking a wheeled tractor of YTO as the research object, a driving scheme of a dual-motor electric tractor was proposed, and the main components of the tractor electric drive system were matched. Based on MATLAB/Simulink, the electric tractor drive system model was established. On the premise of meeting the dynamic needs of the tractor, an optimization model was established with the tractor power consumption as the optimization goal and the power distribution coefficient of dual motors as the decision variable. The optimization model was solved by a genetic algorithm. The driving characteristics of the optimized electric tractor and the original tractor, as well as the instantaneous power consumption and total power consumption of the tractor before and after optimization, are compared and analyzed. The results show that the traction efficiency of the optimized electric tractor is about 2.7% higher than that of the original tractor, and the total power consumption of the electric tractor before and after optimization is reduced by 8.2%. The power performance and economy of the tractor after parameter matching and optimization are significantly improved. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
