Description

[0002] Oil-cooled motors are increasingly applied to new energy vehicle drive assemblies due to their good cooling effect. In order to improve the maximum vehicle speed, the maximum rotating speed of the motor has been increased to more than 20000 rpm.

Under the action of centrifugal force, the far-end flow distribution of the oil channel is more than the near-end flow distribution. Conversely, under low-speed working conditions, the mechanical pump has low rotating speed, low inlet flow and pressure, and the oil jet has a short range, which can cause the near-end flow distribution of the oil channel to be more than the far-end flow distribution, thereby causing uneven flow distribution of each oil port of the internal oil channel under high-speed and low-speed working conditions.

[0033] The embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below. The embodiments described with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary. The embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below.

[0034] The following is for reference. Figures 1-4 Describing a shaft assembly according to an embodiment of the present invention, the present invention also proposes a drive assembly 100 having the above-described shaft assembly, and further proposes a vehicle having the above-described drive assembly 100.

[0035] Combination Figures 1-4 As shown, the shaft assembly of this embodiment includes a shaft body 20 and a plug 30. The shaft body 20 is disposed within the housing 10, and a first oil passage 21 is provided within the shaft body 20. The shaft body 20 also has multiple oil outlet holes spaced apart along its axial direction, all of which communicate with the first oil passage 21. A motor 40 and multiple bearings are mounted on the shaft assembly. When the motor 40 is energized, the rotor 42 rotates relative to the stator 41 under the action of electromagnetic force. Since the rotor 42 and the shaft body 20 rotate coaxially, the motor 40 outputs power. Furthermore, since the coil of the motor 40 heats up when energized, cooling of the coil is necessary. Therefore, the multiple oil outlet holes on the shaft assembly allow oil to be sprayed out, cooling and lubricating the shaft assembly 40 and the bearings.

[0036] One end of the plug 30 is connected to the oil inlet of the first oil passage 21, and the other end of the plug 30 is connected to the housing 10. The plug 30 is provided with an oil inlet hole 31. That is to say, the plug 30 connects the housing 10 and the shaft 20, and one end of the oil inlet hole 31 on the plug 30 is connected to the first oil passage 21, while the other end of the oil inlet hole 31 can be connected to the input oil passage, that is, oil can enter the drive assembly 100 through the plug 30.

[0037] Combination Figure 2 and Figure 4As shown, the angle between the oil inlet 31 and the axial direction of the shaft 20 is an acute angle. Because the mechanical pump has a high rotational speed, large inlet flow rate and pressure, the ejected oil has a long range. Under centrifugal force, this results in a higher flow rate at the far end and a lower flow rate at the near end of the first oil passage 21. By setting an inclined oil inlet 31, the oil adheres tightly to the inner wall of the first oil passage 21 after entering it, thus eliminating the influence of the jet and allowing for a more rational distribution of the oil.

[0038] Therefore, by setting the inclined oil inlet 31, the influence of the jet on the flow distribution of the shaft assembly can be eliminated, so that the near end and far end of the shaft 20 can meet the requirements at different speeds.

[0039] Reference Figure 4 As shown, the angle between the oil inlet 31 and the axial direction of the shaft 20 is α, which satisfies the relationship: 5°≤α≤10°. This setting, by placing the angle between the oil inlet 31 and the axial direction between 5° and 10°, can both eliminate the influence of oil jets and prevent oil from impacting the oil passage. For example, when the angle between the oil inlet 31 and the axial direction is less than 5°, the inclination angle of the oil inlet 31 is small, making it impossible to completely eliminate the influence of jets. Conversely, when the angle between the oil inlet 31 and the axial direction is greater than 10°, the inclination angle of the oil inlet 31 is large, resulting in a larger angle between the oil inlet 31 and the inner wall of the oil passage, making it easier for the oil to impact the oil passage. Furthermore, when the angle between the oil inlet 31 and the axial direction is greater than 10°, the size of the plug 30 in the axial direction is relatively small, resulting in a smaller mating area between the plug 30 and the shaft 20, which can affect the sealing performance between the plug 30 and the shaft 20.

[0040] Among them, reference Figure 4 As shown, the plug 30 is provided with a receiving groove 32. The drive assembly 100 also includes a seal 51, which is sandwiched between the plug 30 and the inner wall of the first oil passage 21 and located within the receiving groove 32. This arrangement, by sandwiching the seal 51 between the plug 30 and the first oil passage 21, improves the sealing performance between the plug 30 and the shaft 20, thereby preventing leakage of the drive assembly 100. Furthermore, by providing the receiving groove 32 on the plug 30 and placing the seal 51 within the receiving groove 32, the sealing performance between the plug 30 and the shaft 20 can be further improved, and misalignment of the seal 51 in the axial direction can be prevented.

[0041] Reference Figure 4As shown, the plug 30 includes a first segment 33 and a second segment 34, which are axially connected. The diameter of the first segment 33 is larger than the diameter of the second segment 34, forming a step 35 between the two segments. A receiving groove 32 is provided on the first segment 33. The second segment 34 and the housing 10 are press-fitted. This configuration, with the plug 30 consisting of an axially connected first segment 33 and a step 35 between them, facilitates the fit between the second segment 34 and the housing 10. Furthermore, the press-fit between the second segment 34 and the housing 10 allows for both connection and sealing.

[0042] The shaft assembly also includes an oil baffle plate, which is connected to the end of the first oil passage 21 furthest from the plug 30. Thus, the oil baffle plate seals the end of the first oil passage 21 furthest from the plug 30, preventing oil leakage from any location other than the multiple oil outlets.

[0043] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the shaft 20 has a plurality of oil outlet hole groups in the axial direction of the shaft 20. The oil outlet hole groups include a first motor oil outlet hole group and a second motor oil outlet hole group. The oil outlet hole of the first motor oil outlet hole group is the first oil outlet hole 24, and the oil outlet hole of the second motor oil outlet hole group is the second oil outlet hole 25. The first oil outlet hole 24 is disposed near the oil inlet end of the first oil passage 21, and the second oil outlet hole 25 is disposed away from the oil inlet end of the first oil passage 21. The portion of the shaft 20 located between the first oil outlet hole 24 and the second oil outlet hole 25 is suitable for disposing of the rotor 42 of the motor 40. The first oil outlet hole 24 and the second oil outlet hole 25 are both suitable for being disposed opposite to the stator 41 of the motor 40. The sum of the areas of the first oil outlet holes 24 is less than the sum of the areas of the second oil outlet holes 25. Since the flow rate of the oil decreases after passing through the first oil outlet 24 and then through the second oil outlet 25, the sum of the areas of the second oil outlet 25 can be set to be larger than the sum of the areas of the first oil outlet 24. This allows for a uniform distribution of cooling flow on both sides of the motor 40, thereby enabling balanced heat dissipation of the motor 40.

[0044] According to another embodiment of the present invention, the shaft 20 has a plurality of oil outlet hole groups along its axial direction. These groups are spaced apart along the axial direction of the shaft 20, and each group includes at least one oil outlet hole. Each oil outlet hole group includes at least one bearing oil outlet hole group and at least one motor oil outlet hole group. The oil outlet holes in the bearing oil outlet hole group are adapted to be positioned opposite to the bearings, and the oil outlet holes in the motor oil outlet hole group are adapted to be positioned opposite to the motor 40. Furthermore, the sum of the areas of the oil outlet holes in each motor oil outlet hole group is greater than the sum of the areas of the oil outlet holes in each bearing oil outlet hole group. Since the amount of cooling oil required by the motor 40 is greater than the amount of lubricating oil required by the bearings, setting the sum of the areas of the oil outlet holes in each motor oil outlet hole group to be greater than the sum of the areas of the oil outlet holes in each bearing oil outlet hole group ensures sufficient cooling of the motor 40.

[0045] Reference Figure 1 As shown, the shaft body 20 includes a motor shaft 23 and an input shaft 22. One end of the input shaft 22 forms an oil inlet end of a first oil passage 21. One end of the motor shaft 23 is sleeved on the other end of the input shaft 22. The rotor 42 of the motor 40 is adapted to be sleeved on the motor shaft 23. The oil outlet holes of the motor oil outlet hole group are all set on the motor shaft 23 and are adapted to be opposite to the stator 41 of the motor 40. That is to say, the shaft body 20 is composed of the motor shaft 23 and the input shaft 22. The first oil outlet hole 24 and the second oil outlet hole 25 are both set on the motor shaft 23, and in the axial direction, the first oil outlet hole 24 and the second oil outlet hole 25 are located on both sides of the rotor 42. This allows the first oil outlet hole 24 and the second oil outlet hole 25 to cool and lubricate both sides of the rotor 42 and the stator 41 respectively, thereby effectively reducing the temperature of the rotor 42 and the stator 41.

[0046] Reference Figure 3 As shown, the bearing oil outlet group includes a first bearing oil outlet group, and the oil outlet of the first bearing oil outlet group is a third oil outlet 26. The third oil outlet 26 is disposed on the input shaft 22. The end of the input shaft 22 near the motor shaft 23 is suitable for mounting the first bearing 52, and the third oil outlet 26 is suitable for being disposed opposite to the first bearing 52. With this arrangement, by providing the third oil outlet 26 on the input shaft 22 that communicates with the first oil passage 21, and by displacing the third oil outlet 26 opposite to the first bearing 52, for example, by placing the end of the third oil outlet 26 away from the first oil passage 21 on the left or right side of the first bearing 52, oil can be sprayed onto the first bearing 52 through the third oil outlet 26, thus achieving both lubrication and cooling of the first bearing 52.

[0047] Reference Figure 3As shown, the bearing oil outlet group includes a second bearing oil outlet group, and the oil outlet of the second bearing oil outlet group is a fourth oil outlet 27. The fourth oil outlet 27 is disposed on the input shaft 22. The end of the motor shaft 23 near the input shaft 22 is suitable for mounting the second bearing 53, and the fourth oil outlet 27 is suitable for being positioned opposite the second bearing 53. With this arrangement, by providing the fourth oil outlet 27 on the input shaft 22 that communicates with the first oil passage 21, and by positioning the fourth oil outlet 27 opposite the second bearing 53, oil can be sprayed onto the second bearing 53 through the fourth oil outlet 27, thus achieving both lubrication and cooling of the second bearing 53.

[0048] Since the second bearing 53 is mounted on the motor shaft 23, in order to avoid affecting the first oil outlet 24 and the second oil outlet 25 by opening the fourth oil outlet 27 on the motor shaft 23, the fourth oil outlet 27 is mounted on the input shaft 22 and is inclined. This allows the fourth oil outlet 27 to be positioned opposite to the second bearing 53, thereby enabling the oil to lubricate and cool the second bearing 53.

[0049] Reference Figure 4 As shown, a third bearing 54 is provided at the end of the input shaft 22 opposite to the motor shaft 23. The third bearing 54 is sandwiched between the housing 10 and the input shaft 22. A second oil passage 11 is provided inside the housing 10. The second oil passage 11 is connected to the oil inlet 31, and a sixth oil outlet 12 is provided on the second oil passage 11. The sixth oil outlet 12 and the third bearing 54 are arranged opposite each other. With this arrangement, by providing the sixth oil outlet 12 on the housing 10 and connecting it to the second oil passage 11, and by arranging the sixth oil outlet 12 and the third bearing 54 opposite each other, oil can be sprayed onto the third bearing 54 through the sixth oil outlet 12, thus achieving oil lubrication and cooling of the third bearing 54.

[0050] The housing 10 has a second oil passage 11, and the oil inlet 31 of the plug 30 is connected between the first oil passage 21 and the second oil passage 11. This allows oil to enter the drive assembly 100 from the second oil passage 11 on the housing 10 and enter the first oil passage 21 through the oil inlet 31, thereby achieving lubrication and heat dissipation of the drive assembly 100 by the oil.

[0051] Furthermore, the sixth oil outlet 12 is disposed on the housing 10, which facilitates the arrangement of the sixth oil outlet 12.

[0052] In addition, the first bearing 52 and the third bearing 54 are respectively set at both ends of the input shaft 22. By setting the first bearing 52 and the third bearing 54, the input shaft 22 can be supported on the one hand, and the rotation of the input shaft 22 can be facilitated on the other hand.

[0053] Furthermore, the bearing oil outlet group includes a third bearing oil outlet group, with the fifth oil outlet 28 being the oil outlet of the third bearing oil outlet group. The fifth oil outlet 28 is disposed on the motor shaft 23, and the end of the motor shaft 23 opposite to the input shaft 22 is suitable for mounting the fourth bearing 55. The fifth oil outlet 28 is suitable for being positioned opposite to the fourth bearing 55. With this arrangement, by providing the fifth oil outlet 28 connected to the first oil passage 21 on the motor shaft 23, and by positioning the fifth oil outlet 28 opposite to the fourth bearing 55, oil can be sprayed onto the fourth bearing 55 through the fifth oil outlet 28, thus achieving both lubrication and cooling of the fourth bearing 55.

[0054] In addition, the second bearing 53 and the fourth bearing 55 are respectively set at both ends of the motor shaft 23. By setting the second bearing 53 and the fourth bearing 55, the motor shaft 23 can be supported on the one hand, and the rotation of the motor shaft 23 can be facilitated on the other hand.

[0055] According to a second aspect of the present invention, a drive assembly includes: a shaft assembly, a motor 40, and a bearing. The shaft body 20 of the shaft assembly is respectively connected to the rotor 42 of the motor 40 and the bearing. At least one oil outlet is disposed opposite to the stator 41 of the motor 40, and at least one oil outlet is disposed opposite to the bearing. That is, the motor 40 includes: a stator 41 and a rotor 42. The stator 41 is fixed to the housing 10, and the rotor 42 is fixed to the shaft body 20. The stator 41 and the rotor 42 are disposed opposite to each other, and the rotor 42 is sandwiched between a first oil outlet 24 and a second oil outlet 25.

[0056] A vehicle according to a second aspect embodiment of the present invention includes a drive assembly 100.
