Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of electronic water pumps, in particular to an anti-trapping gas stator iron core casing combination structure of an electronic water pump. Background Art

[0002] Electronic water pumps currently used in new energy vehicles are gradually developing towards lightweight design. During this development, electronic water pumps have gradually adopted structures that use plastic instead of steel, especially for the housing that holds the built-in stator core of the electronic water pump. This often uses positioning grooves on the outer ring of the stator core yoke to cooperate with positioning posts on the housing. However, this structure separates the plastic housing from the stator core, which can easily cause the outer ring of the stator core yoke and the plastic housing to creep relative to each other, leading to separation between the stator core and the plastic housing. To address this technical problem, Chinese patent document CN222702237U discloses an integrated plastic-coated water pump housing, comprising a water pump housing, a drive shaft and a rotor disposed in the middle of the water pump housing, and a stator assembly that is plastic-coated within the water pump housing. This complete encapsulation makes it difficult for air between the stator core laminations to escape, resulting in trapped air. Ultimately, when the electronic water pump is operated under high-temperature conditions, the retained gas between the stator core laminations expands, causing the plastic housing to swell or crack. Utility Model Content

[0003] In order to solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the present invention provides an electronic water pump anti-air trapped stator core housing combination structure, which includes a stator core and a plastic housing covering the stator core, wherein the plastic housing forms at least one exposed strip from the bottom to the top of the stator core at the position of the tooth slot and / or the tooth top. The exposed strip means that the stator core is not covered by the plastic housing and maintains the original structural appearance. By setting at least one exposed strip from the bottom to the top of the stator core, under the thermal deformation state, the air in the small air cavity formed by the stacking of the multiple stator sheets of the stator core can be discharged from the exposed strip when it expands, thereby avoiding the problem of the existing fully covered water pump housing causing the water pump housing to expand or crack when the air in the small air cavity expands under the thermal deformation state. Furthermore, during the liquid molding process of the plastic housing, the air in other positions is squeezed into the small air cavity and then discharged through the exposed strip.

[0004] Preferably, the plastic housing forms at least one exposed strip from the bottom to the top of the stator core at the position of the tooth top.

[0005] More preferably, the plastic housing forms an exposed strip extending from the bottom to the top of the stator core at the tooth tops. This exposed strip, in addition to the aforementioned benefits, maximizes the exposed area, maintaining the strength of the plastic housing and maximizing the retention of the stator core, preventing microscopic creep of the stator core against the plastic housing.

[0006] In one embodiment, a plurality of offset tongues are formed on the plastic casing covering the upper and lower ends of the stator core.

[0007] Preferably, a plurality of offset tongues are formed on the plastic casing covering the upper and lower ends of the stator core yoke. By providing the offset tongues, when the stator core undergoes microscopic creep in a certain direction, one side of the offset tongue will have a tendency to move, while the other side will generate stress that hinders this tendency to move, thereby creating a bow-like effect, always using an instinct to return to its original state, to offset the creep of the stator core as much as possible.

[0008] In one embodiment, a plurality of positioning support holes are formed on the plastic casing covering the end of the stator core connection portion. The holes are formed during the production process, specifically, after the column for positioning and supporting the stator core is removed.

[0009] The plastic housing is provided with column platforms connected with the front and rear end covers at both axial ends.

[0010] A plurality of limiting reinforcement ribs are formed on the outer side of the plastic housing.

[0011] In one embodiment, the outer ring of the stator core's yoke is formed with an axial groove; correspondingly, the plastic housing forms an anti-rotation post that mates with the axial groove. The axial groove can be derived from the stator core's positioning slot or can be newly machined. The anti-rotation post is formed by filling the axial groove with liquid plastic, cross-fixing the plastic housing to the stator core and further preventing stator core creep.

[0012] In one embodiment, the upper and lower ends of the baffle portion form auxiliary pieces opposite to the offset tongue piece. By setting the offset tongue piece and the auxiliary piece, it becomes a positioning and limiting structure during winding, facilitating the winding. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

The end of the baffle 6 closest to the rotor and both ends of this end form tooth tops 7. The plastic housing 9 is formed by covering the stator core 1. It is specifically formed by positioning the stator core 1 and injection molding. The specific shape can be designed according to actual needs. The plastic housing 9 of this embodiment does not completely cover the stator core 1, but forms at least one exposed strip from the bottom to the top of the stator core 1 at the position of the tooth slot 3 and / or the tooth top. As for the position of the tooth slot 3, it specifically refers to the side wall of the tooth slot 3. As for the position of the tooth top 7, it has been described in detail above. As for the exposed strip, it refers to the area not covered by the plastic housing 9, or the original structure of the stator core 1 at the above position. As for from the bottom to the top, it specifically refers to the gaps between adjacent stator sheets of all stator sheets within the exposed strip that are connected to the atmosphere because they are not covered. Preferably, the plastic housing 9 forms at least one exposed strip from the bottom to the top of the stator core 1 at the position of the tooth top 7. More preferably, the plastic housing 9 forms an exposed strip from the bottom to the top of the stator core 1 at the position of all tooth tops 7.

[0024] In one embodiment, the plastic housing 9 forms a plurality of offset tongues 10 at the upper and lower ends of the stator core 1.

The auxiliary pieces 14 are positioned opposite the offset tongue piece 10 to restrict and / or assist the winding in forming the winding 16.

[0030] More preferably, the exposed strip also includes the top and bottom end portions of the stator core 1 near the tooth top 7, or in other words, the top and bottom end portions of the stator core 1 near the tooth top 7 are not covered by the plastic housing 9. Figure 2 and Figure 3 shown.

[0031] The preparation process of the electronic water pump anti-air trapped stator core and housing combination structure of the present invention is as follows: a suitable mold is designed according to the required shape of the electronic water pump and the required structure of the stator core, and then the stator core is positioned and supported, and finally injection molding is performed.
