Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of cooling lubrication, in particular to an electric drive assembly. BACKGROUND

[0002] With the promotion of electric vehicles, the electric drive assembly as the power driving part is increasingly developing towards high pressure, high power and high speed. With the increase of the power of the motor, the heat loss generated by the motor is greater, and the demand for cooling of the motor stator and rotor is higher. If the motor cannot be cooled efficiently, heat will accumulate in the rotor core, and the rotor will have the risk of demagnetization of the magnetic steel, which will cause the power of the drive assembly to decrease permanently. With the accumulation of heat, the temperature of the stator rises, and the insulation material of the stator winding will also face accelerated aging. At the same time, the resistance of the winding increases with the increase of temperature, which further leads to the decrease of the efficiency of the electric drive assembly. A poor thermal management system will affect the power output of the motor, reduce the power performance of the vehicle, and increase the energy consumption of the vehicle. Therefore, the cooling and heat dissipation effect of the motor is essential for the reliability, stability and high efficiency of the motor.

[0003] At present, the commonly used driving motor cooling structure in new energy passenger vehicles has three cooling and heat dissipation modes: water cooling, oil cooling and oil-water mixed cooling. The oil cooling method has some advantages over the water cooling method, such as reliable electrical insulation performance, direct cooling of the motor stator and rotor, and improved cooling efficiency. At the same time, due to the advantages of structural design, the oil cooling method can also effectively improve the power density of the motor and facilitate the lightweight design of the motor.

[0004] At present, the commonly used oil-cooled motor stator cooling methods include splashing oil inside the shell to take away heat or using an oil ring structure to spray the stator winding. The heat dissipation parts inside and outside the motor are in contact with the cooling medium, and the motor is cooled by circulating the cooling medium.

[0042] Unless otherwise defined, all the technical terms used in the embodiments of the present application have the same meanings as commonly understood by those of ordinary skill in the art. Some technical terms appearing in the embodiments of the present application will be explained below.

[0043] In order to make the technical solutions and advantages of the present application clearer, the embodiments of the present application will be described in further detail below with reference to the drawings.

[0044] As shown in FIG. Figures 1 to 7 The embodiments of the present application provide an electric drive assembly, which comprises a cooling lubricating oil circuit 5 and a drive assembly.

[0045] The drive assembly comprises a main housing 1 and a drive motor 2 installed in the main housing 1, and the inner wall of the main housing 1 is provided with a spiral oil circuit 11, which is spirally distributed around the central axis of the main housing 1 and extends along the axial direction of the main housing 1; the cooling lubricating oil circuit 5 comprises a main oil circuit 531, which is used to output oil to the drive assembly, and the main oil circuit 531 is in communication with the spiral oil circuit 11.​

[0046] The main oil path 531 can be formed by a pipe, or can be in the form of a hole, a groove, etc. provided on the main housing 1 or a component, as long as a certain oil flow path can be formed. The oil in the main oil path 531 can forcibly cool and lubricate the components in the main housing 1, and the oil directly exchanges heat with the components, thereby having a better cooling and lubricating effect.

[0047] As shown in the example, Figure 5 The main housing 1 has a cylindrical inner cavity, the drive motor 2 is accommodated in the inner cavity, the center axis of the inner cavity is collinear with the center axis of the drive motor 2, and the spiral oil path 11 is spirally arranged on the inner wall of the main housing 1.

[0048] By arranging the spiral oil path 11 on the inner wall of the main housing 1, the flow path length of the oil in the main housing 1 is increased, and each part in the axial direction of the drive motor 2 is covered, so that the oil can sufficiently cool the drive motor 2, and the cooling efficiency and effect of the drive motor 2 are improved.

[0049] As shown in the example, Figure 2 The electric drive assembly further includes an electric oil pump 6, an oil cooler 7, and a filter mechanism 8.

[0050] As an example, the electric oil pump 6 draws oil at the bottom of the main housing 1 and pumps the oil to the filter mechanism 8 for fine filtration, the filtered oil flows into the oil cooler 7 for heat exchange and cooling, and the cooled oil flows into the main oil path 531. By arranging the electric oil pump 6, the oil cooler 7, and the filter mechanism 8, oil with low temperature, cleanliness, and meeting the pressure and flow requirements is provided for the main oil path 531, and the cooling and lubricating effect is improved.

[0051] The electric drive assembly provided by the embodiment of the present application has the spiral oil path 11 arranged on the inner wall of the main housing 1 and in communication with the main oil path 531, so that the oil flowing out of the main oil path 531 flows into the spiral oil path 11 and covers each part in the axial direction of the drive motor 2, thereby uniformly and sufficiently cooling the drive motor 2. Moreover, the oil spirally advances in the spiral oil path 11, thereby reducing the flow resistance of the oil and further improving the heat dissipation and cooling efficiency of the surface of the drive motor 2.

[0052] In a further embodiment, the driving motor 2 comprises a stator 21, a rotor 22 and a rotor shaft 23, the rotor 22 is annularly arranged at the outer periphery of the rotor shaft 23, the stator 21 is annularly arranged at the outer periphery of the rotor 22, the rotor shaft 23 is provided with a hollow oil cavity 231 extending along the axial direction of the rotor shaft 23, the rotor 22 is provided with a rotor oil passage 221 extending along the axial direction of the rotor 22, and the rotor oil passage 221 is in communication with the hollow oil cavity 231. The cooling and lubricating oil passage 5 further comprises a first branch 52, which is in communication with the main oil passage 531 and the hollow oil cavity 231, respectively.

[0053] Specifically, the stator 21, the rotor 22 and the rotor shaft 23 are coaxially arranged, the rotor 22 is sleeved on the rotor shaft 23 and is connected with the rotor shaft 23 in interference fit to realize synchronous movement. The stator 21 is arranged around the outer periphery of the rotor 22 and has a gap between the stator 21 and the rotor 22, the stator 21 is connected with the main housing 1 in interference fit, and the stator winding 212 extends from the two ends of the stator 21 in the axial direction.

[0054] By arranging the hollow oil cavity 231 in the rotor shaft 23, the space occupied by the additional oil pipeline is saved, which is beneficial to improve the space utilization of the internal space of the electric driving assembly and make the structure of the electric driving assembly more compact.

[0055] As shown in Figure 7 , the rotor oil passage 221 extends through the rotor 22 along the axial direction of the rotor, and the oil in the hollow oil cavity 231 enters the rotor oil passage 221 to exchange heat with the rotor, thereby improving the cooling effect and efficiency of the rotor 22.

[0056] Specifically, one end of the first branch 52 is in communication with the main oil passage 531, and the other end is in communication with the hollow oil cavity 231, and the oil in the main oil passage 531 flows through the first branch 52 and the hollow oil cavity 231 in turn and then enters the rotor oil passage 221.

[0057] For example, a sub-oil passage is arranged in the rotor 22 to communicate the hollow oil cavity 231 and the rotor oil passage 221; or a sub-oil passage is arranged in other components in the driving assembly to communicate the hollow oil cavity 231 and the rotor oil passage 221.

Figure 7As shown, the rotor front cover plate 24 and the rotor rear cover plate 25 are both provided with a first sub-oil passage 241 and a second sub-oil passage 242 extending along the radial direction of the rotor front cover plate 24 and the rotor rear cover plate 25, respectively. The first sub-oil passage 241 is in communication with the hollow oil cavity 231 and the rotor oil passage 221, respectively. The second sub-oil passage 242 is in communication with the rotor oil passage 221 at one end and with the outside of the rotor front cover plate 24 or the rotor rear cover plate 25 at the other end. Each rotor oil passage 221 is in communication with the first sub-oil passage 241 at one end and with the second sub-oil passage 242 at the other end.

[0059] Exemplarily, the rotor front cover plate 24 is installed at one end of the rotor 22 close to the main oil passage 531, and the rotor rear cover plate 25 is installed at the other end of the rotor 22 away from the main oil passage 531.

[0060] The first sub-oil passage 241 and the second sub-oil passage 242 are both blind holes provided on the rotor front cover plate 24 or the rotor rear cover plate 25, i.e., the first sub-oil passage 241 and the second sub-oil passage 242 do not extend through the rotor front cover plate 24 or the rotor rear cover plate 25 along the radial direction of the rotor front cover plate 24 and the rotor rear cover plate 25.

[0061] Specifically, the rotor front cover plate 24 and the rotor rear cover plate 25 are provided with a through hole at the center position, and the rotor front cover plate 24 and the rotor rear cover plate 25 are sleeved on the outer periphery of the rotor shaft 23 through the through hole. One end of the first sub-oil passage 241 is in communication with the through hole, and the other end is in communication with the rotor oil passage 221. One end of the second sub-oil passage 242 is in communication with the rotor oil passage 221, and the other end is open to the outside of the rotor front cover plate 24 or the rotor rear cover plate 25.

[0062] As shown, Figure 7 The rotor shaft 23 is provided with a plurality of oil throwing holes 232. The extension direction of the oil throwing hole 232 is perpendicular to the axial direction of the rotor shaft 23 or is obliquely arranged with respect to the axial direction of the rotor shaft 23. The oil throwing hole 232 is in communication with the hollow oil cavity 231 and the first sub-oil passage 241, respectively, so as to transport the oil in the hollow oil cavity 231 to the first sub-oil passage 241.

[0063] One end of each rotor oil passage 221 is communicated with at least one first sub-oil passage 241, and the other end is communicated with at least one second sub-oil passage 242. Exemplarily, one end of each rotor oil passage 221 is communicated with one first sub-oil passage 241, and the other end is communicated with one second sub-oil passage 242.

Through this arrangement, the oil flowing into the rotor front cover plate 24 flows to the rotor rear cover plate 25 through the rotor oil passage 221 and is thrown out from the second sub-oil passage 242 of the rotor rear cover plate 25, not only heat-exchanged with the rotor 22, but also cooled the inner ring of the stator winding 212 at the rear end; and / or the oil flowing into the rotor rear cover plate 25 flows to the rotor front cover plate 24 through the rotor oil passage 221 and is thrown out from the second sub-oil passage 242 of the rotor front cover plate 24, not only heat-exchanged with the rotor 22, but also cooled the inner ring of the stator winding 212 at the front end.

[0065] By arranging the plurality of rotor oil passages 221 spaced around the central axis of the rotor 22, the uniform and sufficient cooling of each part in the circumferential direction of the rotor 22 is facilitated, thereby further improving the cooling effect and efficiency of the rotor 22.

[0076] In a further embodiment, the end face of the reducer housing 3 is provided with bearing seat holes 31 for mounting bearings, and the end face of the reducer housing 3 is recessed with oil guide grooves 32, which communicate with the bearing seat holes 31, and the oil inlet of the bearing is at least partially located in the oil guide grooves 32.

[0077] As shown in FIG. 4, the bearing seat holes 31 are three, and the three bearing seat holes 31 are respectively used to mount the first bearing 42a, the second bearing 42b, and the third bearing 42c; and the oil guide grooves 32 are three, and the three oil guide grooves 32 are connected to the three bearing seat holes 31 one by one.

[0078] Figure 4 As shown in FIG. 4, the bearing seat holes 31 are three, and the three bearing seat holes 31 are respectively used to mount the first bearing 42a, the second bearing 42b, and the third bearing 42c; and the oil guide grooves 32 are three, and the three oil guide grooves 32 are connected to the three bearing seat holes 31 one by one.

[0079] ​In this embodiment, by setting an oil guide groove 32, the oil stirred up by the gear 41 and the suspended oil in the reducer housing 3 are collected by the oil guide groove 32, and the oil is introduced into the oil inlet of the bearing for cooling and lubrication, which improves the utilization rate of the oil and enhances the cooling and lubrication effect on the bearing.

[0080] Furthermore, the opening size of the oil guide groove 32 gradually increases from the end near the bearing housing hole 31 to the end away from the bearing housing hole 31.

[0081] like Figure 4 As shown, the two oil guide grooves 32 are V-shaped, with a larger opening at the top and a smaller opening at the bottom.

[0082] This design facilitates the guidance of oil, allowing it to flow from the large end to the small end along the wall of the oil guide groove 32. This enables more oil to flow into the bearing's oil inlet, enhancing the cooling and lubrication effect on the bearing.

[0083] In one specific embodiment, a reinforcing rib 33 is provided on the end face of the reducer housing 3. The reinforcing rib 33 is located at the edge of the oil guide groove 32 and is connected to the side wall of the oil guide groove 32.

[0084] like Figure 4 As shown, in the two "V"-shaped oil guide grooves 32, two reinforcing ribs 33 are provided on both sides of the oil guide groove 32, and the outer wall of the reinforcing rib 33 near the oil guide groove 32 is connected to the side wall of the oil guide groove 32.

[0085] By setting the reinforcing rib 33, not only is it beneficial to enhance the structural strength of the end face of the reducer housing 3, but it also improves the guiding effect of the oil guide groove 32 on the oil, allowing more oil to flow into the oil inlet of the bearing and enhancing the cooling and lubrication effect on the bearing.
