[0004] The electronic oil pump operates as follows: A controller energizes the permanent magnet motor, which drives the inner rotor. The inner and outer rotors are eccentric, forming several closed cavities between them. The inner rotor drives the outer rotor in the same direction, simultaneously rotating the closed cavities and changing their volume, thereby pumping oil. Furthermore, the rotor cavity is divided into a low-pressure oil inlet area and a high-pressure oil outlet area. Oil is drawn from the high-pressure outlet area into the motor cavity and returned from the low-pressure oil inlet area to the external oil circuit. This cools the permanent magnet motor and controller, ensuring that the electronic oil pump operates within a specific temperature range.
