Research on Induction Heating Model of Constant Velocity Drive-shaft Inductor Based on COMSOL
The COMSOL finite element analysis software was used to simulate the skin effect caused by the induction heating of the constant velocity drive-shaft inductor through magnetothermal coupling numerical simulation.The simulation results were compared and analyzed with the temperature results of the constant velocity drive-shaft section under experimental conditions,verifying the accuracy of the simulation model.Findings revealed that it had minimal disparities between simulation calculations and experimental condi-tions in temperature distributions and differentials when the inductor current was set at 2 000 A,heating frequency at 20 kHz,heating duration at 10 s and rotation speed at 600 rpm,thereby providing a reliable simulation model for mitigating the skin effect problem associated with induction heating of constant velocity drive-shaft.
