Abstract

Formula student racing has been carried out over more than 30 years in the world. With the environmental protection and energy crisis the electric drive system is applied on the formula student car recently. An electric formula car has been successfully designed and manufactured. The overall design is based on tournament rules during the design process. Required for the power performance and economic performance of the car, the power matching is designed, and the appropriate motor, controller, gearbox, batteries are selected. We analyze and calculate the power parameters on this basis of the optimizing design. The test results prove the design requirements are obtained. On general layout and design, with the use of advantages of pure electric car batteries that can be flexibly furnished and ergonomic principles, we make the general arrangement for the batteries, motors, steering system, transmission, suspension systems, brake systems and get a reasonable distribution of axle load. At the same time, the problem of huge axle load of fuel FSC racing car is eased. Subsequently, we launch a specific design to the steering system, frame, suspension, brakes systems, suspension systems, and establish a three-dimensional model for simulation and checking calculations. The electric formula car is tested which shows that he parameters are similar as the simulation.
