AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

In existing electric powertrains, cooling oil needs to pass through a heat exchanger to cool the motor and reducer separately, which increases the cooling load on the heat exchanger and leads to increased vehicle energy consumption.

Method used

Design an electric powertrain with separate oil circuits before and after the cooler. The oil circuit after the cooler is used for motor cooling, while the oil circuit before the cooler is used for reducer cooling. The oil circuit before the cooler does not pass through the cooler. By combining multiple cooling oil circuits and bearing cooling oil circuits, efficient cooling of the motor and reducer can be achieved.

Benefits of technology

While meeting the cooling requirements of the motor and reducer, the cooling load on the cooler is reduced, thus reducing vehicle energy consumption.
