The rotor assembly can rotate relative to the stator assembly, and the oil circuit assembly can supply cooling fluid to the stator assembly and the rotor assembly to achieve cooling of the drive device.

[0003] Under high-speed conditions, the rotor assembly has a high rotational speed, which will generate negative pressure, causing the fluid flow rate of the cooling fluid flowing into the rotor assembly to increase, and the cooling fluid flow rate flowing into the stator assembly to decrease, causing the stator assembly temperature to be too high, and the thermal management capability of the drive device to be poor, affecting the reliability of the drive device. Summary of the invention

The first flow valve is used to adjust the flow of the rotor branch oil pipe to control the flow of the stator branch oil pipe.

[0007] The embodiment of the present application provides a driving device, in which, through the setting of the oil circuit assembly, the first fluid in the oil inlet pipe in the oil circuit assembly can be delivered to the stator assembly and the rotor assembly, so as to achieve cooling and lubrication of the stator assembly and the rotor assembly, thereby extending the service life of the driving device and improving the reliability of the driving device. Through the setting of the first flow valve, the flow of the first fluid delivered to the rotor assembly in the oil inlet pipe can be adjusted under the high-speed working condition of the rotor assembly, reducing the probability of excessive first fluid being delivered to the rotor assembly due to negative pressure generated by the excessive rotation speed of the rotor assembly, increasing the flow of the first fluid delivered to the stator assembly in the oil inlet pipe, thereby accurately distributing the flow of the first fluid, reducing the probability of overheating of the stator assembly, and improving the thermal management capability of the driving device.

[0008] In some embodiments, the rotational speed of the rotor assembly is greater than or equal to 10,000 RPM.

[0009] A driving device provided in an embodiment of the present application, by setting the rotational speed of the rotor assembly, when the rotational speed is greater than or equal to 10000RPM, due to the high rotational speed of the rotor assembly, it is necessary to adjust the flow of the rotor branch oil pipe by controlling the opening of the first flow valve to control the flow of the stator branch oil pipe, so as to make the control of the first flow valve more precise.

[0128] The vehicle 10 further includes a drive assembly, which includes a drive device. The function of the drive device includes converting electrical energy into mechanical energy to enable the vehicle 10 to travel.

[0129] The specific structure of the driving device is described in detail below.

[0130] Please refer to Figures 2 to 6 As shown, Figure 2 for Figure 1 The three-dimensional structural diagram of the cooling flow path in the driving device of the vehicle shown in FIG. Figure 3 for Figure 2 A schematic cross-sectional view of a partial structure of a stator assembly of the drive device shown in FIG. Figure 4 for Figure 2 An exploded schematic diagram of the stator assembly of the drive device shown, Figure 5for Figure 4 The enlarged schematic diagram of the F region is shown. Figure 6 for Figure 2 A schematic plan view of a partial structure of the driving device shown. The embodiment of the present application provides a driving device, including a stator assembly, a rotor assembly, an oil circuit assembly 130 and a first flow valve 140. The rotor assembly is movably inserted in the stator assembly, and the oil circuit assembly 130 includes an oil inlet pipe 131, a stator branch oil pipe 132 and a rotor branch oil pipe 133. The stator branch oil pipe 132 is connected between the stator assembly and the oil inlet pipe 131, and the rotor branch oil pipe 133 is connected between the rotor assembly and the oil inlet pipe 131. The first flow valve 140 is used to adjust the flow of the rotor branch oil pipe 133 to control the flow of the stator branch oil pipe.

[0131] The oil inlet pipe 131 , the stator branch oil pipe and the rotor branch oil pipe 133 are used to transport the first fluid, and the first fluid can cool and lubricate the stator assembly and the rotor assembly.

[0132] The first flow valve 140 includes but is not limited to a proportional solenoid valve, an electric regulating valve, and the like.

[0133] The embodiment of the present application provides a driving device, through the setting of the oil circuit component 130, the oil circuit component 130 can deliver the first fluid to the stator component and the rotor component, so as to achieve cooling and lubrication of the stator component and the rotor component, thereby extending the service life of the driving device and improving the reliability of the driving device. Through the setting of the first flow valve 140, the flow of the first fluid delivered to the rotor component can be adjusted under the high-speed working condition of the rotor component, reducing the probability of excessive first fluid being delivered to the rotor component due to negative pressure generated by the excessive rotation speed of the rotor component, thereby accurately distributing the flow of the first fluid, reducing the probability of overheating of the stator component, and improving the thermal management capability of the driving device.

[0134] In some embodiments, the rotational speed of the rotor assembly is greater than or equal to 10,000 RPM.

[0135] A driving device provided in an embodiment of the present application sets the rotation speed of the rotor assembly. When the rotation speed is greater than or equal to 10000 RPM, due to the high rotation speed of the rotor assembly, negative pressure will be generated in the rotor branch oil pipe 133. Under the action of the negative pressure, the amount of the first fluid entering the rotor branch oil pipe 133 will be greater than the expected amount of the first fluid, resulting in the amount of the first fluid entering the stator branch oil pipe 132 being less than the expected amount of the first fluid, thereby causing the stator assembly to not be sufficiently cooled and to have an overtemperature fault. It is necessary to adjust the flow of the rotor branch oil pipe 133 by controlling the opening of the first flow valve 140 to control the flow of the stator branch oil pipe 132, so as to make the control of the first flow valve 140 more precise.

[0136] In the embodiment of the present application, the first flow valve 140 is used to adjust the oil flow on the rotor branch oil pipe 133. When the rotor assembly is stationary, the larger the opening, the greater the flow to the rotor branch oil pipe 133.

[0137] The first flow valve 140 can be installed on either the rotor oil branch pipe 133 or the stator oil branch pipe 132 .

[0138] When the first flow valve 140 is installed on the rotor branch oil pipe 133, it can directly control the oil flow flowing into the rotor branch oil pipe 133. The larger the opening degree, the larger the flow area of ​​the first flow valve 140, and the greater the oil flow entering the rotor branch oil pipe 133 from the oil inlet pipe.

[0139] It should be noted that when the first flow valve 140 is installed on the stator oil branch pipe 132, it can indirectly control the flow of oil in the rotor oil branch pipe 133. The larger the opening, the smaller the flow area of ​​the first flow valve 140, and the smaller the oil flow entering the stator oil branch pipe 132 from the oil inlet pipe, so that the flow entering the rotor oil branch pipe 133 is larger.

[0140] Specifically, the amount of the first fluid between the rotor branch oil pipe 133 and the stator branch oil pipe 132 can be measured when the rotor assembly is stationary, for example, when the battery of the vehicle 10 is being charged, and the amount of the first fluid between the rotor branch oil pipe 133 and the stator branch oil pipe 132 can be compared to obtain the change in the opening of the first flow valve 140. The opening of the first flow valve 140 can also be obtained by directly acquiring the valve core angle signal of the first flow valve 140. The larger the valve core angle, the larger the flow area of ​​the first flow valve 140; for example, when the first flow valve 140 is installed on the rotor branch oil pipe 133, the larger the valve core angle of the first flow valve 140, the larger the opening of the first flow valve 140; when the first flow valve 140 is installed on the stator branch oil pipe 132, the larger the valve core angle of the first flow valve 140, the smaller the opening of the first flow valve 140.

[0141] The first flow valve 140 may be a ball valve. When the first flow valve 140 is a ball valve, a through hole penetrating the valve core is provided on the valve core. When the valve core angle is 0, the through hole is not connected to the rotor branch oil pipe 133 or the stator branch oil pipe 132, and the flow area is 0. As the valve core rotates, the greater the degree of connection between the through hole and the rotor branch oil pipe 133 or the stator branch oil pipe 132, the greater the flow area. When the valve core rotates at an angle of 90°, the through hole is completely connected to the rotor branch oil pipe 133 or the stator branch oil pipe 132, and the flow area is 100%.

[0142] When the rotor assembly is in a rotating state, due to the negative pressure suction effect of the rotor assembly, the oil flow entering the rotor branch oil pipe 133 is controlled by the opening of the first flow valve 140 and is affected by the negative pressure suction effect of the rotor assembly. Therefore, when the rotor assembly is in a rotating state, the opening size of the first flow valve 140 cannot be directly obtained by measuring the flow of the rotor branch oil pipe 133.

[0143] In some embodiments, the rotational speed of the rotor assembly is greater than or equal to 20,000 RPM.

[0144] When the rotation speed of the rotor assembly is below 20,000 RPM, the suction effect of the rotor assembly on the first fluid is relatively weak, and when the rotation speed of the rotor assembly is above 20,000 RPM, the suction effect of the rotor assembly on the first fluid is relatively strong.

[0145] A driving device provided in an embodiment of the present application sets the rotational speed of the rotor assembly. When the rotational speed is greater than or equal to 20000 RPM, due to the high rotational speed of the rotor assembly, the negative pressure inside the rotor assembly is enhanced, and the adverse effect on the cooling of the stator is increased. Therefore, it is necessary to control the first flow valve 140 to control the flow of the stator branch oil pipe 132 so that the stator assembly can be fully cooled and the probability of overheating is reduced.

[0146] In some embodiments, the rotor assembly can operate at a first speed and a second speed, the second speed being greater than the first speed; when the rotor assembly is at the first speed, the opening of the first flow valve 140 is the first opening, and the flow of the rotor branch oil pipe 133 is the first flow; when the rotor assembly is at the second speed, the opening of the first flow valve 140 is the second opening, and the flow of the rotor branch oil pipe 133 is the second flow; the first opening is greater than the second opening, and the second flow is greater than the first flow.

[0147] When the rotor assembly is at the second speed, the higher speed causes obvious wind friction loss, increased heat generation, and higher cooling demand. As the speed increases, the negative pressure effect in the rotor increases. At this time, the flow in the rotor branch oil pipe 133 is composed of the flow allocated by the first flow valve 140 and the flow sucked by the negative pressure. At this time, the cooling demand flow has increased by a part compared to the first speed. However, as the negative pressure effect begins to appear, the negative pressure suction flow has increased significantly. The flow allocated by the first flow valve 140 must be smaller than the flow allocated at the first speed, so that the actual flow entering the rotor branch oil pipe 133 is not too large, and the flow entering the stator branch oil pipe 132 is reduced.

[0148] It can be understood that when the rotor assembly is at the first speed, the actual flow rate entering the rotor oil branch pipe 133 is the first flow rate, and when the rotor assembly is at the second speed, the actual flow rate entering the rotor oil branch pipe 133 is the second flow rate. Since the first speed is greater than the second speed, the heat generated by the motor at the second speed is greater than the heat generated by the motor at the first speed. Therefore, by setting the second flow rate greater than the first flow rate, the rotor assembly can be effectively cooled, and the stator assembly can also be better cooled.

[0149] It can also be understood that when the rotor assembly is at the first speed, the flow distribution by the first flow valve 140 is achieved by the first flow valve 140 at the first opening, and when the rotor assembly is at the second speed, the flow distribution by the first flow valve 140 is achieved by the first flow valve 140 at the second opening. Since the first speed is greater than the second speed, and the increase in heat generation or cooling demand at the second speed is relatively small, while the increase in negative pressure suction of the rotor assembly at the second speed is relatively large, the setting of the second opening being smaller than the first opening can accurately distribute the flow in the rotor branch oil pipe 133 and the stator branch oil pipe 132, thereby better ensuring the cooling of the stator assembly.

[0150] "Opening degree" refers to the degree of opening of the first flow valve 140, and describes the size of the channel through which the first flow valve 140 allows the first fluid to pass. The larger the opening degree, the more first fluid flow the first flow valve 140 allows; the smaller the opening degree, the less first fluid flow the first flow valve 140 allows.

[0151] If the first flow valve 140 allows a larger flow rate of the first fluid to pass through, the opening of the first flow valve 140 will be larger. Conversely, if the first flow valve 140 allows a smaller flow rate of the first fluid to pass through, the opening of the first flow valve 140 will be smaller.

[0152] A driving device provided in an embodiment of the present application sets the first flow valve 140 to a first opening at a first speed of the rotor assembly, and sets the first flow valve 140 to a second opening at a second speed. This facilitates adjusting the opening of the first flow valve 140 according to different speeds of the rotor assembly, and facilitates balancing the flow rates of the first fluid inside the rotor branch oil pipe 133 and the stator branch oil pipe 132, thereby reducing the probability of excessive or insufficient flow of the first fluid inside the stator branch oil pipe 132, and improving the thermal management capability of the driving device.

[0153] In some embodiments, the first rotation speed satisfies: greater than 0 and less than or equal to 20000 RPM, and the second rotation speed satisfies: between 20000 RPM and A, 23000 RPM≤A≤27000 RPM.

[0154] 20000RPM<second speed≤A.

[0155] The first rotation speed may include rotation speed values ​​such as 0 RPM, 5000 RPM, 10000 RPM, and 15000 RPM.

[0156] In some embodiments, when A is 23000 RPM, the rotation speed of the rotor assembly satisfies the following conditions at all operating points from 20000 RPM to 23000 RPM: the second opening is smaller than the first opening, and the second flow rate is larger than the first flow rate.

[0157] In some embodiments, when A is 27000 RPM, the rotation speed of the rotor assembly satisfies the following conditions at all operating points from 20000 RPM to 27000 RPM: the second opening is smaller than the first opening, and the second flow rate is larger than the first flow rate.

[0158] A driving device provided in an embodiment of the present application makes the first flow valve 140 of the driving device more convenient and easier to use during implementation by setting specific values ​​of the first rotational speed and the second rotational speed.

[0159] In some embodiments, the rotor assembly is capable of operating at a third speed, which is greater than the second speed. When the rotor assembly is at the third speed, the opening of the first flow valve 140 is a third opening, and the flow of the rotor branch oil pipe 133 is a third flow, which is greater than the second flow, and the third opening is greater than the first opening.

[0160] When the rotation speed of the rotor assembly is at the third rotation speed, the cooling demand of the rotor assembly is greatly increased, and the opening of the first flow valve 140 needs to be increased to meet the cooling demand of the rotor assembly. At this time, the third opening is greater than the first opening.

[0161] An embodiment of the present application provides a driving device, in which the negative pressure suction effect of the rotor assembly is significantly enhanced at a third rotational speed, and the first flow valve 140 is set to the third opening, so that when the rotational speed of the rotor assembly is relatively high, the flow rate of the first fluid flowing into the stator branch oil pipe 132 is relatively large, thereby ensuring the heat exchange effect of the first fluid on the stator assembly and improving the heat exchange reliability of the driving device.

[0162] In some embodiments, the third rotation speed satisfies: A or above. The third rotation speed>A.

[0163] Optionally, A is 23000RPM or 27000RPM or any speed value between 23000RPM and 27000RPM.

[0164] For example, when A is 23000RPM, the third speed is greater than 23000RPM; when A is 25000RPM, the third speed is greater than 25000RPM; when A is 27000RPM, the third speed is greater than 27000RPM.

[0165] A driving device provided in an embodiment of the present application makes the first flow valve 140 of the driving device more convenient and easier to use during implementation by setting a specific numerical value of the third speed. By adjusting the first flow valve 140, the heat exchange effect on the stator assembly is improved, while the probability of excessive first fluid flowing into the rotor branch oil pipe 133 is reduced.

[0166] In some embodiments, the first flow valve 140 is installed on the rotor oil branch pipe 133 and / or the stator oil branch pipe 132 .

[0167] A driving device provided in an embodiment of the present application can accurately control the flow rate of the first fluid inside the rotor branch oil pipe 133 through the setting of the first flow valve 140, thereby improving the efficiency of the first flow valve 140 in indirectly controlling the flow rate of the first fluid inside the stator branch oil pipe 132 by directly controlling the flow rate of the first fluid inside the rotor branch oil pipe 133.

[0168] In some embodiments, the first flow valve 140 includes a proportional solenoid valve.

[0169] A driving device provided in an embodiment of the present application can achieve precise control of the first flow valve 140 through the setting of the first flow valve 140 including a proportional solenoid valve, and can accurately control the flow of the first fluid with high controllability.

[0170] In some embodiments, the stator assembly includes a stator body and a winding. The stator body 111 is cylindrical, and has a plurality of first flow channels A1. The two ends of the first flow channels A1 are respectively located at the two ends of the stator body 111 along the axial direction X.

The multiple first flow channels A1 are arranged at intervals in the circumferential direction of the stator body 111, and the number can be adjusted according to actual conditions. The extension direction of the first flow channel A1 includes extending along the axial direction X of the stator body 111, and can also intersect with the axial extension direction X of the stator body 111. Optionally, the first flow channel A1 is embedded in the stator body 111.

[0173] The stator branch oil pipe and the first flow channel A1 can be directly connected or indirectly connected. For example, the stator branch oil pipe is inserted into the first flow channel A1 to achieve the connection between the two, and a flow guide structure can also be provided between the stator branch oil pipe and the first flow channel A1 to achieve the connection between the two.

[0174] A driving device provided in an embodiment of the present application can deliver a first fluid to a stator body 111 by setting a first flow channel A1 and connecting the first flow channel A1 to a stator branch oil pipe, thereby cooling the stator body 111 and the windings and reducing the probability of overheating of the stator assembly. Secondly, the two ends of the first flow channel A1 are respectively located at the two ends of the stator body 111 along the axial direction X, and the first flow channel A1 is embedded in the stator body 111, which can increase the contact area between the first fluid flowing into the first flow channel A1 and the stator body 111, thereby improving the cooling efficiency of the stator assembly.

[0175] In some embodiments, each first flow channel A1 extends along the axial direction X of the stator body 111 .

[0176] The shape of the cross section of the first flow channel A1 includes but is not limited to circular, square or other special shapes.

[0183] In some embodiments, the flow cross-sectional area of ​​the second sub-channel 1322 is greater than the flow cross-sectional area of ​​the first sub-channel 1321 . The larger the flow cross-sectional area, the smaller the pressure of the first fluid flowing inside.
