[0004] A powertrain cooling system and method includes providing oil to a stator cooling ring through holes defined in a housing.

In particular, the middle ring seal on the injection ring can be used between the injection ring and the housing. The seal between the injection ring and the stator end can be compressed to form an interference fit between the injection ring and the housing or stator end, but it does not cool the stator evenly.

[0029] Figure 1 A partial cross-sectional structural diagram of an oil-cooled motor provided in one embodiment of the present invention is shown in FIG. Figure 1 As shown, the oil-cooled motor includes an oil barrel and a stator 2, and the stator 2 includes a stator pressing ring 3 and a stator core 22. Figure 2 A schematic diagram of the assembly structure of the stator core and the stator pressure ring provided in one embodiment of the present invention is shown in FIG. Figure 2 As shown, a first groove is provided on the surface of the stator core 22, and the stator pressing ring 3 is connected to both ends of the first groove. Figure 3 A schematic structural diagram of a stator pressure ring according to an embodiment of the present invention is shown in FIG. Figure 3 As shown, the outer surface of the stator pressure ring 3 is provided with a second groove 31, and further reference is made to Figure 2 The stator pressing ring 3 is sleeved on the end of the stator 2, and the first groove is connected to the second groove 31, thereby forming a connected cooling oil channel.

[0030] In one embodiment of the invention, continue to refer to Figure 1The oil barrel includes an L-shaped oil barrel wall 4 and a shell 1. The L-shaped oil barrel wall 4 and the shell 1 form an annular cavity. The stator 2 is accommodated in the annular cavity. There is a gap between the outer edge of the stator 2 and the shell 1. The outer surface of the stator pressure ring 3 is connected to the shell 1. The cooling oil enters the first groove connected to the second groove 31 through the second groove 31. Since the outer surface of the stator pressure ring 3 is higher than the outer surface of the stator 2, and the outer surface of the stator pressure ring 3 is connected to the shell 1, the cooling oil will overflow after entering the first groove and be injected into the annular cavity formed by the L-shaped oil barrel wall 4 and the shell 1. As a result, the surface of the stator 2 of the oil-cooled motor will be placed in the cooling oil, thereby achieving uniform cooling of the stator 2 and ensuring the cooling effect.

[0031] Figure 4 Schematic diagram of the assembly structure of the L-shaped oil barrel wall and the stator oil barrel cover provided in one embodiment of the present invention. In one embodiment of the present invention, Figure 4 As shown, the oil-cooled motor also includes a stator oil barrel cover plate 6, which is an annular cover plate having an outer end face and an inner end face, and the inner end face is connected to the L-shaped oil barrel wall 4. During the assembly process, the stator 2 can be first sleeved on the L-shaped oil barrel wall 4, and then the annular cover plate can be assembled. Alternatively, a split stator 2 can be set. In this case, the L-shaped oil barrel wall 4 and the annular cover plate can be assembled, and then the split stator 2 can be assembled so that the L-shaped oil barrel wall 4 is sleeved in the inner cavity of the stator 2. The present invention does not limit the setting method of the stator 2. The outer end face of the stator oil barrel cover plate 6 is connected to the shell 1, thereby forming a closed cavity between the stator oil barrel cover plate 6, the shell 1 and the L-shaped oil barrel wall 4, and the stator 2 is located in the closed cavity.

[0032] In one embodiment of the invention, continue to refer to Figure 1 The L-shaped oil barrel wall 4 includes an oil barrel bottom and an oil barrel side. The oil barrel side is connected to the stator oil barrel cover 6. The oil barrel side protrudes from the surface where the stator oil barrel cover 6 is located, so as to play a directional role in the assembly process of the stator oil barrel cover 6, facilitate assembly, and at the same time improve the connection strength between the stator oil barrel cover 6 and the L-shaped oil barrel wall 4.

[0033] In one embodiment of the invention, the stator pressing ring 3 forms an interference fit with the housing 1, securing the stator 2 and stator pressing ring 3 assembly, facilitating the oil-cooling function of the motor. This ensures that cooling oil flowing through the surface of the stator 2 enters the annular cavity formed by the stator 2 and the housing 1 through the second groove 31. This facilitates control of the flow of cooling oil through the surface of the stator 2, ensuring effective cooling.

[0034] In one embodiment of the invention, the housing 1 is provided with a limiting groove, and the stator pressure ring 3 is partially inserted into the limiting groove, so that the fit between the stator pressure ring 3 and the housing 1 is more stable, thereby preventing the combination of the stator 2 and the stator pressure ring 3 from being displaced along the inner wall of the housing 1 under the fluid pressure of the cooling oil, thereby improving the functional stability of the oil-cooled motor.

[0035] Figure 5 A schematic cross-sectional view of a housing according to an embodiment of the present invention is provided. Figure 5 As shown, the housing 1 is provided with an oil inlet 12 and an oil outlet 11. The oil inlet 12 is provided at one end of the stator core 22, and the oil outlet 11 is provided at the other end of the stator core 22. The cooling oil enters one end of the closed annular cavity formed by the housing 1, the stator oil barrel cover 6, and the L-shaped oil barrel wall 4 through the oil inlet 12. The end of the stator 2 is immersed in the cooling oil to achieve uniform cooling. Furthermore, the cooling oil needs to enter the annular cavity formed by the stator 2 and the housing 1 through the second groove 31 on the stator pressure ring 3 near the end of the oil inlet 12, cooling the surface of the stator 2 located between the stator pressure ring 3. Subsequently, the cooling oil flows into the end of the annular cavity near the oil outlet 11 through the second groove 31 on the stator pressure ring 3 near the end of the oil outlet 11. This facilitates the control of the flow of cooling oil flowing through the surface of the stator 2, ensures the cooling effect, and improves the utilization efficiency of the cooling oil.

[0036] In one embodiment of the invention, continue to refer to Figure 2 The stator 2 further includes a stator welding rib 7 disposed within the first groove and connected to the stator pressing ring 3, thereby enhancing the stability of the connection between the stator pressing ring 3 and the stator 2. The stator 2 is formed by welding together a stator core 22, a stator welding rib 7, and a stator pressing ring 3, with stator electromagnetic wires 21 placed within the slots. The stator electromagnetic wires 21 are connected in a specific sequence.

[0037] In one embodiment of the invention, continue to refer to Figure 1 The oil-cooled motor also includes a sealing ring. The housing 1 is provided with a stator oil barrel cover sealing groove 13 and an L-shaped oil barrel wall sealing groove 14. The sealing ring includes a stator oil barrel sealing ring 5. The stator oil barrel sealing ring 5 is arranged in the stator oil barrel cover sealing groove 13. Correspondingly, the L-shaped oil barrel wall sealing groove 14 is also provided with a sealing ring matching the L-shaped oil barrel wall sealing groove 14, thereby improving the sealing performance of the oil-cooled motor.

[0038] In one embodiment of the invention, continue to refer to Figure 1There is a gap between the housing 1 and the stator core 22, and the gap is used to accommodate cooling oil, facilitating the circulation and heat exchange of the cooling oil.

[0039] An embodiment of the present invention further provides an automobile comprising any of the above-described oil-cooled motors. In one embodiment of the present invention, the automobile is equipped with a reduction gearbox, and the cooling oil in the oil-cooled motor is connected to the oil in the reduction gearbox, facilitating installation. The advantages of the oil-cooled motor are described above and will not be further elaborated here.

[0040] The stator 2 of the oil-cooled motor of the present invention is completely convenient for evenly cooling the stator 2 and taking away more heat. The right cooling path of the stator 2 is completely closed, and the effective flow rate can be controlled.

[0041] The above disclosures are merely some preferred embodiments of the present invention, which certainly cannot be used to limit the scope of the present invention. Therefore, equivalent changes made according to the claims of the present invention are still within the scope of the present invention.
