Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of power engineering and engineering thermophysics, and specifically relates to a commutation and pressurization structure for the internal coolant of an electric motor and the motor itself. Background Technology

[0002] Variable frequency wet motors often use an independent internal cooling circulation loop to cool the motor. According to the change of motor speed, the cooling circulation loop can automatically switch and select between forward and reverse circulation loops.

[0003] However, considering the need for lightweight and miniaturized overall motor structure, the unit uses a thrust disc with openings as an auxiliary impeller to provide internal head for the coolant in the motor cavity. The internal friction and local losses within the motor cavity are significant. In particular, switching the direction of the cooling circulation loop can lead to insufficient power for the circulating coolant, preventing it from completing internal circulation and thus affecting motor heat dissipation and the normal operation of the unit.

[0004] However, if pressurization devices are set up separately for the forward and reverse circulation loops, it will lead to a complex structure and increased cost. In addition, the additional pressurization devices need to be operated separately, which will complicate the operation process and increase the difficulty of operation. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art and provide a commutation and pressurization structure for the internal coolant of an electric motor and an electric motor, which can pressurize the internal coolant when the internal cooling circulation loop of the aforementioned electric motor is commutated.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention is implemented using the following technical solution:

[0007] In a first aspect, the present invention provides a reversing and pressurizing structure for the internal coolant of an electric motor, which is disposed in the inner cavity of the motor. The inner cavity of the motor is provided with region I, region II and region III arranged in the forward circulation sequence of the coolant. Region III is separated from region II by a motor cover. Region I and region II are separated by the reversing and pressurizing structure.

[0008] The commutation booster structure includes:

[0009] Internal piping, which connects region I and region II, is used to direct coolant from region I to region II or from region II to region I;

[0010] A pressurizing device, connected to the internal piping, is used to pressurize the coolant inside the internal piping;

[0011] The differential pressure reversing mechanism is used to switch the coolant pressurization direction of the internal pipeline to either forward or reverse based on the pressure difference between Zone II and Zone III. When the coolant pressure in Zone II is greater than that in Zone III, the internal pipeline coolant pressurization direction is switched to forward, causing Zone I to pressurize the coolant in Zone II. When the coolant pressure in Zone II is less than that in Zone III, the internal pipeline coolant pressurization direction is switched to reverse, causing Zone II to pressurize the coolant in Zone I.

[0012] The above settings achieve the following effect: During forward circulation, the flow path is: circulating power source (thrust disc), motor air gap, zone I, zone II, zone III, cooling water pipe, circulating power source (thrust disc).

[0013] In reverse circulation, the flow path is: circulating power source (thrust disc), cooling water pipe, zone III, zone II, zone I, motor air gap, circulating power source (thrust disc).

[0014] By detecting the pressure difference between zone II and zone III, the direction of circulation is determined to confirm whether the circulation is forward or reverse. This application can increase the pressure of the coolant in the motor cavity according to the change in the direction of circulation within the motor, thereby overcoming the internal resistance of the motor cavity and ensuring smooth circulation. At the same time, it is simple to operate and reduces costs while increasing efficiency.

[0015] Further settings:

[0016] The pressurizing device includes an impeller A connected to the motor main shaft via a bushing A;

[0024] One end of the through hole B at the front end of impeller A is connected to one end of the through hole D at the rear end of impeller A, and the other end is connected to the inlet of impeller A.

[0025] Further configuration: The differential pressure reversing mechanism includes:

[0026] Impeller B is fixedly installed on the connecting pipe between Zone III and Zone II, and can rotate in the forward or reverse direction with the flow of coolant in the connecting pipe between Zone III and Zone II.

[0027] The worm gear is connected to the bottom of the impeller and rotates with the impeller.

[0028] The worm gear is fastened to piston A at its left end and to piston B at its right end; the worm gear and worm wheel perform worm gear transmission.

[0029] Piston A is used to block the through hole A of the rear end cover of impeller A while opening the through hole B of the rear end cover of impeller A as the worm moves; or to block the through hole B of the rear end cover of impeller A while opening the through hole A of the rear end cover of impeller A.

[0030] Piston B is used to block the through hole C of the rear end cover of impeller A while opening the through hole D of the rear end cover of impeller A, or to block the through hole D of the rear end cover of impeller A while opening the through hole C of the rear end cover of impeller A.

[0031] Furthermore, the differential pressure reversing mechanism also includes:

[0032] The through hole E of the rear end cover of impeller A is located in the rear end cover of impeller A. The right section of the through hole E of the rear end cover of impeller A is closed by the rear end cover of impeller A itself, and spring B, piston B, worm gear, piston A, spring A, and pressure plate are installed in sequence inside it; the left end is closed by the pressure plate.

[0033] One end of spring B is connected to the right section of piston B, and the other end is connected to the inner wall of the rear end cover of impeller A. One end of spring A is connected to the left section of piston A, and the other end is connected to the pressure cap.

[0034] Furthermore, piston A has a horizontally placed "King" shaped cross-section, divided into a left section, a middle section, and a right section. The lengths of all three sections are consistent with the diameters of the through holes A and B in the impeller A's rear end cover. The ends of both the left and right sections of piston A are equipped with stoppers with the same diameter as the through hole E in the impeller A's rear end cover, but with a smaller center diameter than E. The diameter of the middle section of piston A is consistent with the diameter of the through hole E in the impeller A's rear end cover, but larger than the diameters of the left and right sections. The middle section of piston A can block either the through hole A or B in the impeller A's rear end cover. The left and right sections of piston A can open either the through hole A or B in the impeller A's rear end cover.

[0035] Piston B has a horizontally placed "I"-shaped cross-section, consisting of a left section, a middle section, and a right section. The lengths of all three sections match the diameters of the through holes C and D in the impeller A's rear end cover. The diameters of the left and right sections match the diameter of the through hole G in the impeller A's rear end cover, but are larger than the diameter of the middle section. The middle section of piston B can open either the through hole C or D in the impeller A's rear end cover. The left and right sections of piston B can block either the through hole C or D in the impeller A's rear end cover.

[0036] When the coolant flow direction of the connecting pipe between Region III and Region II is positive, impeller B rotates positively, driving the worm wheel to rotate positively. The worm wheel and worm are driven by a worm wheel-worm gear transmission. The worm drives piston A and piston B to move to the left. Under the action of the spring force at both ends, they finally reach the leftmost position. At this time, the middle section of piston A is located in the through hole A of the rear end cover of impeller A, blocking the through hole A. The right section of piston A is located in the through hole B of the rear end cover of impeller A, opening the through hole B. The middle section of piston B is located in the through hole C of the rear end cover of impeller A, opening the through hole C. The right section of piston B is located in the through hole D of the rear end cover of impeller A, blocking the through hole D.

[0037] When the coolant flow direction of the connecting pipe between Region III and Region II is reversed, impeller B rotates in the reverse direction, driving the worm wheel to rotate in the reverse direction. The worm wheel and worm are driven by a worm gear transmission. The worm drives piston A and piston B to move to the right. Under the action of the spring force at both ends, they finally reach the rightmost position. At this time, the middle section of piston A is located in the through hole B of the rear end cover of impeller A, blocking the through hole B of the rear end cover of impeller A. The left section of piston A is located in the through hole A of the rear end cover of impeller A, opening the through hole A of the rear end cover of impeller A. The middle section of piston B is located in the through hole D of the rear end cover of impeller A, opening the through hole D of the rear end cover of impeller A. The left section of piston B is located in the through hole C of the rear end cover of impeller A, blocking the through hole C of the rear end cover of impeller A.

[0038] The above setup achieves the following effect: A portion of the coolant flows from region II to region III through the through-hole G in the rear end cover of impeller A, the through-hole A in the front cover of impeller B, the through-hole F in the rear end cover of impeller A, and the hose. During this process, this portion of the liquid pushes impeller B, located in the through-hole G in the rear end cover of impeller A, to rotate clockwise. Impeller B is coaxially arranged with the worm gear, which also rotates clockwise. The worm gear and worm are driven by a worm gear transmission; the worm will move to the left, and under the action of the spring forces at both ends, it will eventually reach the leftmost position.

[0039] At this time, pistons A and B stop at the corresponding positions of impeller A rear end cover through hole A, impeller A rear end cover through hole B, impeller A rear end cover through hole C, and impeller A rear end cover through hole D, respectively; the middle section of piston A is located at impeller A rear end cover through hole A, the right section of piston A is located at impeller A rear end cover through hole B, the middle section of piston B is located at impeller A rear end cover through hole C, and the right section of piston B is located at impeller A rear end cover through hole D; at this time, impeller A rear end cover through hole A is closed, impeller A rear end cover through hole B is open, impeller A rear end cover through hole C is open, and impeller A rear end cover through hole D is closed.

[0040] The main flow direction of the coolant is: Zone I, through hole B of the rear end cover of impeller A, through hole A of the front end cover of impeller A, impeller A, through hole C of the rear end cover of impeller A, Zone II; impeller A rotates continuously together with the motor shaft, pressurizing the incoming flow, and in this process, the coolant in Zone I is pressurized into Zone II.

[0041] Ignoring the small proportion of losses in the overall cycle, the flow path in the reverse cycle is: circulating power source (thrust disc), cooling water pipe, zone III, zone II, zone I, motor air gap, circulating power source (thrust disc).

[0042] At this point, some coolant flows from region III to region II through the hose, the through-hole F in the rear cover of impeller A, the through-hole A in the front cover of impeller B, and the through-hole G in the rear cover of impeller A. During this process, this portion of liquid pushes impeller B, located in the through-hole G in the rear cover of impeller A, to rotate counterclockwise. Impeller B is coaxially arranged with the worm gear, which also rotates counterclockwise. The worm gear and worm are driven by a worm gear transmission, and the worm will move to the right, eventually reaching the rightmost position under the action of the spring forces at both ends.

[0043] At this time, pistons A and B stop at the corresponding positions of impeller A rear end cover through hole A, impeller A rear end cover through hole B, impeller A rear end cover through hole C, and impeller A rear end cover through hole D, respectively; the left section of piston A is located at impeller A rear end cover through hole A, the middle section of piston A is located at impeller A rear end cover through hole B, the left section of piston B is located at impeller A rear end cover through hole C, and the middle section of piston B is located at impeller A rear end cover through hole D; at this time, impeller A rear end cover through hole A is open, impeller A rear end cover through hole B is closed, impeller A rear end cover through hole C is closed, and impeller A rear end cover through hole D is open.

[0050] Furthermore, the worm gear is mounted on the lower end of the auxiliary shaft and is fixedly connected to the auxiliary shaft.

[0051] Furthermore, the differential pressure reversing mechanism also includes a front cover for impeller B and a rear cover for impeller B disposed next to impeller B;
