[0034] As shown in the figure, a dustproof net 10 is provided to prevent excessive dust from entering the cooling fan 11 during driving, thereby reducing the cooling effect. The cooling fan 11, cooling fins 12, cooling plates, liquid cooling tubes 13 and liquid coolers 14 are provided to quickly dissipate the heat of the wheel-side motor 7. At the same time, the cooling fins 12 can dissipate heat autonomously. The cooling fans 11 and the liquid cooling tubes 13 need to be controlled and started by the controller 15 to dissipate the heat of the wheel-side motor 7. Different cooling structures can be started according to different needs to dissipate the heat of the wheel-side motor 7. At the same time, different cooling effects can be used to quickly control the temperature of the wheel-side motors 7 on the left and right sides to avoid large temperature differences.

[0053] When the wheel-side motor 7 needs to be thermally balanced, the temperature sensor 16 is first used to monitor the temperature of the wheel-side motor 7 on the corresponding side in real time and transmit it to the controller 15. The controllers 15 on both sides record the temperature change through the data acquisition system, analyze the relationship between the load and temperature of the wheel-side motor 7, and transmit it to the central control of the vehicle;

[0054] During normal use, the heat dissipation fins 12 on the upper and lower sides of the wheel-side motor 7 are used to dissipate heat to ensure the normal use of the wheel-side motor 7. At the same time, the temperature sensor 16 always monitors the motor temperature to ensure that the motor temperatures on both sides are within a controllable range. When the temperature exceeds the set threshold, the controller 15 automatically issues an alarm and takes measures. First, the cooling fan 11 is started to speed up the heat dissipation of the motor and control the temperature to drop. If the temperature drops too slowly, the controller 15 can start the liquid cooler 14 to quickly dissipate heat from the motor through the liquid cooling pipe 13. The three heat dissipations cooperate with each other to start the corresponding heat dissipation structure according to the heat dissipation requirements.

[0055] The controllers 15 on the left and right sides perform data analysis on the wheel-side motors 7 on both sides according to the signals transmitted by the temperature sensors 16 on their corresponding sides. When a temperature difference is found between the motors on both sides, it is necessary to start the heat dissipation structure on the side with higher temperature to dissipate the heat of the motors, so as to quickly keep the temperature difference between the wheel-side motors 7 on the left and right sides within a reasonable range.

A wheel-side drive motor thermal balance control method, the method is implemented based on the wheel-side drive motor thermal balance control system according to any one of claims 1 to 5, characterized in that: The following steps are involved: S1: Use the temperature sensor to monitor the temperature of the wheel motor on the corresponding side in real time and transmit it to the controller. The controllers on both sides record the temperature changes through the data acquisition system, analyze the relationship between the wheel motor load and temperature, and transmit it to the vehicle's central control; S2: During normal use, the heat dissipation fins on the upper and lower sides of the wheel motor are used to dissipate heat to ensure the normal use of the wheel motor. At the same time, the temperature sensor always monitors the motor temperature to ensure that the temperature of the motors on both sides is within the controllable range; S3: When the temperature exceeds the set threshold, the controller automatically issues an alarm and takes measures. First, the cooling fan is started to speed up the heat dissipation of the motor and control the temperature to drop. If the temperature drops too slowly, the controller can start the liquid cooler to quickly dissipate the heat of the motor through the liquid cooling pipe. The three cooling mechanisms cooperate with each other to start the corresponding cooling structure according to the cooling requirements. S4: The controllers on the left and right sides perform data analysis on the wheel motors on both sides according to the signals transmitted by the temperature sensors on their corresponding sides. When a temperature difference is found between the motors on both sides, the heat dissipation structure on the side with higher temperature needs to be started to dissipate heat from the motor, so as to quickly keep the temperature difference between the wheel motors on the left and right sides within a reasonable range.
