The third cooling chamber 1112 communicates with the second oil sluice hole 1111, and part of the oil in the rotor oil injection pipe 115 can enter the third cooling chamber 1112 through the second oil sluice hole 1111 to cool the spline 113. The use of the output shaft seal 114 and the cup-shaped plug 112 near the spline 113 ensures that the cooling oil only lubricates the spline through the oil sluice hole on the spline side of the rotor shaft 111. Spline 113 is used to transmit torque from the rotor shaft to the gearbox. Its structural strength is affected by its own temperature. Cooling it using the solution in this embodiment can improve the stability of the electric drive operation.

[0054] The cooling oil is filtered by the oil suction filter, enters the cooler 305, is cooled by the cooling water, and then is pumped into the rear end cover 303 by the pressure filter 306 and the cooling oil pump 307, and enters the drive motor and the generator through the oil paths on the rear end cover 303. The generator stator oil injection pipe 301 and the drive motor stator oil injection pipe 302 adopt a “Wang” or H-shaped pipe layout, and the specific structure form is not limited to the “Wang” or H-shaped pipe layout. The oil injection pipe is formed by welding an annular pipe and a straight pipe, and throttle holes are reasonably arranged on the annular pipe and the straight pipe. The straight pipe is used for cooling the winding end and the middle part of the core, and the annular pipe is mainly used for cooling the core. The drive motor stator oil injection pipe 302 and the generator stator oil injection pipe 301 respectively have a straight pipe extending into the transmission housing to form a transmission end bearing cooling oil path through the oil path in the transmission housing to cool the bearing.
[0055] The generator stator oil injection pipe 301 and the drive motor stator oil injection pipe 302 respectively spray and cool the winding end and the middle part of the stator core on both sides of the generator stator assembly 101 and the drive motor stator assembly 103.
