Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of new energy vehicles, and in particular to an electric drive system. Background Art
[0002] In the field of new energy vehicles, the electric drive system is a key component that supports and installs electric drive parts. Its design and performance have an important impact on the power, energy efficiency and NVH (noise, vibration and harshness) performance of the whole vehicle. The high degree of integration of the electric drive system is an important trend in the current technological development. This integrated design is mainly reflected in the deep integration of multiple key components such as motors, controllers and reducers into a shell to form a "three-in-one" or even more highly integrated electric drive system. This design not only reduces the weight and size of the system, but also significantly improves the power density and overall durability of the electric drive system. At the same time, the highly integrated design also reduces manufacturing costs, improves production efficiency and assembly convenience.
[0003] Although the high degree of integration of electric drive systems brings many advantages, there are also some disadvantages: 1. Heat dissipation: The highly integrated design makes the distance between the components inside the system closer, and the heat generated is more concentrated. This requires the system to have stronger heat dissipation capabilities to ensure normal internal temperature. However, traditional heat dissipation systems may not meet this requirement, and more advanced heat dissipation technology is needed.
[0004] 2. Increased difficulty in maintenance: With a highly integrated design, once a component in the system fails, the entire module may need to be removed for maintenance. This not only increases the difficulty and time cost of maintenance, but may also affect the overall performance of the system.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0019] The specific implementation of the present invention will be further described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.
[0020] It is easy to understand that according to the technical solution of the present invention, without changing the essential spirit of the present invention, a variety of structural modes and implementation modes that can be replaced by those skilled in the art can be replaced with each other. Therefore, the following specific implementation modes and drawings are only exemplary descriptions of the technical solution of the present invention, and should not be regarded as the whole of the present invention or as a limitation or restriction to the technical solution of the invention.
[0021] The directional terms such as up, down, left, right, front, back, front, back, top, bottom, etc. mentioned or may be mentioned in this specification are defined relative to the structures shown in the drawings. They are relative concepts and may change accordingly according to different positions and different usage conditions. Therefore, these or other directional terms should not be interpreted as restrictive terms.
[0022] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 1-Figure 3 As shown, the electric drive system includes a motor controller 7, a motor 8, a reducer 9, an electric control housing 1, a motor housing 2 and a reducer housing 6. The motor controller 7 is installed in the electric control housing 1. The two motor housings 2 are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the reducer housing 6. The electric control housing 1 is arranged directly above the reducer housing 6 and above the motor housing 2. The motor housing 2 includes a first end cover 21, a main housing 22 and a second end cover 23. The main housing 22 is cylindrical. The first end cover 21 is covered on one side of the main housing, and the second end cover 23 is located on the other side of the main housing 22 and is integrally formed with the main housing 22. The two second end covers 23 are respectively covered on both sides of the reducer housing 6. There are two motors 8 and two reducers 9. The motor 8 is installed in the cavity surrounded by the first end cover 21 and the main shell 22, and the reducer 9 is installed in the cavity surrounded by the second end cover 23 and the reducer housing 6. The motor controller 7 includes two power modules 73, each power module 73 is connected to a corresponding motor 8, and each motor 8 is connected to a corresponding reducer 9.
[0023] Specifically, Figure 1 As shown, the electric control housing 1 is arranged directly above the reducer housing 6 and is also located above the two motor housings 2. The electric control housing 1 is arranged independently, which is convenient for separate maintenance of the motor controller 7 installed in the electric control housing 1.

The first end cover 21 is located on the outside of the main housing 22, and the second end cover 23 is located between the main housing 22 and the reducer housing 6. The second end cover 23 is integrally formed with the main housing 22, thereby increasing the integration of the housing.
[0025] like Figure 3As shown, the motor 8 is installed in the cavity surrounded by the first end cover 21 and the main shell 22, and the reducer 9 is installed in the cavity surrounded by the second end cover 23 and the reducer housing 6. The second end cover 23 is not only the end cover of the motor housing 2, but also the end cover of the reducer housing 6 when connected to the reducer housing 6, so that the motor housing 2 and the reducer housing 6 are shared, which is conducive to reducing the size in the axial direction, making the structure more compact and occupying less space. At the same time, it is also convenient to maintain. When the motor 8 needs to be repaired, the first end cover 21 can be disassembled; when the reducer 9 needs to be repaired, the second end cover 23 and the reducer housing 6 can be separated.
[0026] Therefore, the electric drive system in this embodiment has the advantages of compact structure and small space occupation, and is easy to maintain.
[0027] In addition, the present embodiment includes two independent electronic control-motor-reducer systems, and the two systems operate independently, wherein the motor controller 7 is integrated in an electronic control housing 1, the two motors 8 are respectively installed in a motor housing 2, and the two reducers 9 are integrated in a reducer housing 6.

[0031] In this embodiment, the cross-sectional area of the reducer housing 6 is larger than the cross-sectional area of the motor housing 2 , so the area of the second end cover 23 is larger than the area of the main housing 22 , and the portion of the second end cover 23 that exceeds the main housing 22 just docks with the reducer 9 .
[0032] Furthermore, if Figure 4-Figure 5As shown, the motor controller 7 also includes an electric control motor integrated copper busbar 74, which includes a first electric control end 741, a second electric control end 742 and a motor end 743, wherein the first electric control end 741 and the second electric control end 742 are respectively connected to a power module 73, and the motor end 743 passes through the electric control housing 1 and then extends into the reducer housing 6; An integrated wiring base 91 is installed in the reducer housing 6 , the wiring harness of the motor 8 is connected to the integrated wiring base 91 , and the motor end 743 is also connected to the integrated wiring base 91 .

[0034] like Figure 5 As shown, the first electric control end 741 and the second electric control end 742 are located in the same plane, the motor end 743 extends vertically downward relative to the first electric control end 741 and the second electric control end 742, and a plurality of terminals are also provided on the motor end 743. The motor end 743 can pass through the electric control housing 1 and then be inserted into the reducer housing 6.
[0035] Preferably, if Figure 5 As shown, the bottom surface of the electric control motor integrated copper bar 74 is also provided with a positioning column 744, and the positioning column 744 is used to be inserted into the positioning groove 123 on the electric control housing 1 (see Figure 6 ), the positioning between the electronic control motor integrated copper bar 74 and the electronic control housing 1 is achieved to prevent the electronic control motor integrated copper bar 74 from moving inside the electronic control housing 1.
[0036] like Figure 3 and Figure 7 As shown, the integrated terminal block 91 is installed in the reducer housing 6, and the motor end 743 is connected to the integrated terminal block 91 after being inserted into the reducer housing 6. At the same time, the wiring harness of the motor 8 is also connected to the integrated terminal block 91 after entering the reducer housing 6, thereby realizing the circuit connection between the motor 8 and the motor controller 7.
[0037] Furthermore, if Figure 7 As shown, the integrated terminal block 91 includes a plurality of terminal blocks 911, a partition 912 is provided between adjacent terminal blocks 911, and the terminal blocks 911 include an electric control terminal 911a and a motor terminal 911b; the integrated terminal block 91 also includes a base 913, the terminal blocks 911 and the partition 912 are both mounted on the base 913, and the base 913 is installed in the reducer housing 6.
[0038] The motor end 743 includes a plurality of terminals, each of which is connected to a corresponding electric control terminal 911a, and the wiring harness of the motor 8 is connected to the motor terminal 911b.
[0039] The integrated wiring seat 91 separates each wiring board 911 through a partition 912 to facilitate the connection and isolation of each terminal.
[0040] Furthermore, if Figure 7 As shown, the length of each wiring board 911 increases or decreases successively, and the length of the partition 912 also increases or decreases successively. The wiring board 911 and the partition 912 are set to have a length that changes successively, which is beneficial to the isolation of each terminal and also convenient for the operation of the staff.
[0041] Furthermore, if Fig. 9 As shown, a wiring cavity 61 is provided in the reducer housing 6, an electric control closing opening 611 is provided on the top surface of the wiring cavity 61, and a motor closing opening 612 is provided on each of the two side surfaces of the wiring cavity 61; like Fig.10 As shown, the bottom surface of the electric control housing 1 is provided with an electric control wiring port 14, and the electric control wiring port 14 is connected to the electric control closing box opening 611; like Fig. 9 As shown, the second end cover 23 is provided with a motor connection port 231, the motor connection port 231 leads to the interior of the main housing 22, and the motor connection port 231 is connected to the motor box opening 612; like Figure 8 As shown, the motor end 743 passes through the electric control wiring port 14 and is inserted into the electric control box opening 611 , and the wiring harness of the motor 8 passes through the motor wiring port 231 and is inserted into the motor box opening 612 .

[0044] like Fig. 9 As shown, the left and right sides of the wiring cavity 61 each have a motor box opening 612, and the second end cover 23 has a motor wiring port 231. Figure 8As shown, the wiring harness of the motor 8 passes through the motor wiring port 231 and then enters the wiring cavity 61 through the motor box opening 612. Therefore, the wiring harness of the motor 8 is connected with the wiring harness of the motor controller in the wiring cavity 61. The setting of the wiring cavity 61 is conducive to the centralized connection of the wiring harness, easy detection and maintenance, and increased integration.
[0045] Preferably, if Fig. 9 As shown, the reducer housing 6 includes an input shaft area, an intermediate shaft area and an output shaft area, and the wiring chamber 61 is arranged above the input shaft area of the reducer housing 6 and located between the electric control housing 1 and the two motor housings 2. The wiring chamber 61 utilizes the space above the input shaft area of the reducer housing 6, which is located just between the two motor housings 2 and below the electric control housing 1, effectively utilizing this narrow space and making the finishing structure more compact.
[0046] Furthermore, if Fig.11 As shown, a maintenance port 613 is provided on the front side of the wiring cavity 61, and a maintenance cover 62 is provided on the maintenance port 613.

[0047] The arrangement of the wiring chamber 61 in this embodiment not only utilizes the narrow space between the two motor housings 2 and the electronic control housing 1 to centrally connect the wiring harnesses, but also facilitates maintenance and troubleshooting, thereby reducing the difficulty and workload of maintenance.
[0048] Preferably, if Figure 10-11 As shown, the edges of the electric control box opening 611 are on the same plane, and the electric control box opening 611 is fitted with the bottom surface of the electric control housing 1 and sealed by sealant, thereby achieving sealing between the electric control housing 1 and the wiring cavity 61.
[0049] Preferably, if Fig. 9 As shown, the motor box opening 612 is roughly the same shape as the motor wiring port 231, and the edges are all on the same plane. After pasting, it is sealed with sealant to achieve the sealing of the interior of the reducer housing 6 and the motor housing 2 and the wiring cavity 61, preventing the oil in the reducer housing 6 from entering the wiring cavity 61 and the motor housing 2.

The two electric control cooling circuits 3 are both arranged inside an electric control housing 1, and the two motor cooling circuits 4 are respectively arranged inside two motor housings 2, wherein the electric control cooling circuit 3 and the motor cooling circuit 4 on the same side are connected.
[0053] Since the electronically controlled cooling circuit 3 and the motor cooling circuit 4 are both arranged inside the shell, no external pipeline is required for connection, making the overall structure compact and occupying a small space, reducing the heat exchange loss of the external pipeline, shortening the path of the cooling circuit, and improving the cooling efficiency.
[0054] In this embodiment, each motor is provided with a motor cooling circuit, and the two motor cooling circuits operate independently, so the cooling efficiency is higher and the cooling effect is better.
[0055] Furthermore, if Fig.19 As shown, it also includes a cooling main pipeline 5, which is arranged in the electronic control housing 1 and is connected to the inlet of the first electronic control cooling circuit and the inlet of the second electronic control cooling circuit respectively.

After the coolant flows into the cooling groove 32, the power module inserted into the cooling groove 32 is cooled, and then flows out from the output pipe 33 connected to the other side of the cooling groove 32. Fig.18 The two cooling slots 32 are arranged side by side to cool the two power modules arranged in the electronic control housing 1 respectively, and the first electronic control cooling circuit and the second electronic control cooling circuit do not interfere with each other.
[0063] Preferably, if Fig.12 As shown, the cover plate 11 of the electric control housing 1 includes three layers, the upper and lower layers are metal layers 111, and the damping material layer 112 is filled between the two metal layers 111. The damping material layer 112 can effectively reduce the electric control radiation noise and improve the NVH performance.
[0064] Preferably, if Fig.10 As shown, a power module 73 is installed in the electric control housing 1. A plurality of heat sinks are provided on one side of the power module 73. The heat sinks are inserted into the cooling grooves 32. The power module 73 and the edges of the cooling grooves 32 are sealed by sealing rings.
[0065] To facilitate the representation of the connections between cooling circuits, Fig.19 It actually shows the entity of the coolant in the electronic control cooling circuit 3 and the motor cooling circuit 4. Fig.19 The middle cooling slot 32 is actually the shape of the coolant flowing around the plurality of heat sinks in the cooling slot 32 .
[0066] Furthermore, if Fig.16 As shown, the top surface of the main shell 22 of the motor housing 2 is also provided with a first mounting column 221. Fig.17 A first mounting hole 121 is provided at the bottom edge of the bottom shell 12 of the central electronic control housing 1 , and the first mounting column 221 is connected to the first mounting hole 121 along the longitudinal direction by bolts or screws.
[0067] like Fig.16 As shown, a second mounting column 63 is provided on the top of the reducer housing 6. Fig.17 The bottom surface of the bottom shell 12 of the central electronic control housing 1 is further provided with a second mounting hole 122 , and the second mounting column 63 is connected to the second mounting hole 122 in the transverse direction by bolts or screws.
[0068] like Fig.13 As shown, the installation of the electronic control housing 1, the motor housing 2 and the reducer housing 6 is achieved through the cooperation of two groups of mounting columns and mounting holes.
[0069] Furthermore, if Fig.18 As shown, a plurality of hexagonal reinforcing ribs 13 are provided on the inner side surface of the bottom plate of the electronic control housing 1 .
[0070] Specifically, Fig.18 As shown, the hexagonal reinforcement ribs 13 are arranged on the upper part, the middle part and between the two cooling grooves 32 of the inner side surface of the bottom plate. The hexagonal reinforcement ribs 13 can improve the rigidity and strength of the electric control housing 1.
[0071] Furthermore, if Fig.18 As shown, the hexagonal reinforcement ribs 13 and the cooling grooves 32 are connected by the slash reinforcement ribs 14, and the two work together to further improve the rigidity and strength of the electronic control housing 1. Compared with a single honeycomb structure, the process is simpler.
[0072] Furthermore, if Fig.19 As shown, the first motor cooling circuit and the second motor cooling circuit both include a liquid inlet 41, a spiral cooling channel 42 and a liquid outlet 43, the liquid inlet 41 is connected to the output pipe 33, the spiral cooling channel 42 is arranged inside the main shell 22, and the liquid inlet 41 and the liquid outlet 43 are arranged on the outer wall of the main shell 22 and are connected to the spiral cooling channel 42.
[0073] Specifically, Fig.16As shown, the liquid inlet 41 is opened longitudinally into the main shell 22, the spiral cooling channel 42 surrounds the circumference of the main shell 22 to form multiple circles of continuous channels, and the liquid outlet 43 is arranged on the outer wall of the main shell 22, and the liquid outlet 43 is externally connected to a coolant recovery device.
[0074] Furthermore, if Figure 15-17 As shown, the outlet of the output pipe 33 is opened on the bottom surface of the bottom shell 12 , and the liquid inlet 41 is arranged on the top surface of the main shell 22 .
[0075] Since the electric control housing 1 is arranged above the motor housing 2, the outlet of the output pipe 33 is just connected to the liquid inlet 41, and the output pipe 33 and the liquid inlet 41 can be connected by threads and sealed with a rubber ring. No external pipeline is required between the electric control cooling circuit 3 and the motor cooling circuit 4, and all cooling circuits are arranged inside the electric control housing 1 and the motor housing 2, which not only improves the cooling efficiency but also reduces the space occupation.
[0076] In this embodiment, each motor is provided with a motor cooling circuit, and the two motor cooling circuits operate independently, so the cooling efficiency is higher and the cooling effect is better. In addition, the motor cooling circuit and the electric control cooling circuit are both arranged in the motor housing and the electric control housing, and no external cooling pipeline is required, so that the structure is compact, the space occupied is small, and the cooling efficiency is further improved.
[0077] The above description is only the principle and preferred embodiment of the present invention. It should be pointed out that for ordinary technicians in this field, several other modifications can be made based on the principle of the present invention, which should also be considered as the protection scope of the present invention.
