[0020] Embodiment 1 like Figure 1 As shown, an embodiment of the present application provides a cooling circuit structure for rotor magnetic steel, which includes a rotor 10 and a rotor pressure plate 20.

[0021] The rotor 10 includes a rotor core 11 and a plurality of magnetic steels 12, wherein a plurality of magnetic steel slot groups are formed on the rotor core 11, each magnetic steel slot group has at least two layers of magnetic steel slots 11a, and the magnetic steels 12 are installed one by one in the magnetic steel slots 11a, and cooling oil channels 11b are formed at both ends of the magnetic steel slots 11a corresponding to the magnetic steel 12.

[0022] The rotor pressure plate 20 is annular and is disposed at both ends of the rotor 10 . Specifically, the rotor pressure plate 20 includes a front end plate 21 located at the front end of the rotor 10 and a rear end plate 22 located at the rear end of the rotor 10 .

[0023] Among them, a plurality of tree-shaped oil channels 210 are formed on a plate surface on one side of the rotor pressure plate 20 close to the rotor core 11, each of the tree-shaped oil channels 210 includes a main channel 21a, 22a and multiple layers of branch oil channels located on both sides of the main channel 21a, 22a, the branch oil channels correspond one-to-one to the magnetic steel groove 11a, one end of the main channel 21a, 22a extends to the middle of the ring to form an oil inlet, and the cooling oil channel 11b and the tree-shaped oil channel 210 cooperate to form a cooling circuit.

[0024] Among them, one end of the branch oil channel 212 is connected to the main channel 211, and the other end of the branch oil channel 212 extends to the outer edge of the rotor pressure plate 20 to form an oil throwing outlet. The branch oil channel 212 blocks a predetermined position according to the number of layers of the magnetic steel groove 11a, so that the oil cooling flow route constitutes a cooling circulation loop flowing along a predetermined direction.

[0025] Specifically, as a preferred embodiment of the present invention, two layers of magnetic steel slots 11a are provided on the rotor core, wherein, in order to ensure uniform magnetic length formed by the magnetic steel, the magnetic steel slots 11a are distributed in pairs on the rotor core, and each pair of magnetic steel slots 11a is symmetrical with respect to a straight line axis of a specific radius of the rotor core.

[0026] Correspondingly, the tree-shaped oil passage 210 includes two layers of branch oil passages, and the two layers of branch oil passages include inner layer branch oil passages 212a, 222a and outer layer branch oil passages 212b, 222b.

[0027] In this embodiment, the connection between the inner branch oil passage 212a on the front end plate 21 and the trunk passage 211 is blocked, and the oil throwing outlet of the outer branch oil passage 212b on the front end plate 21 is blocked; The main channel 211 on the rear end plate 22 connected to the inner branch oil channel 222a is blocked, and the oil throwing outlets of the inner branch oil channel 222a and the outer branch oil channel 222b on the rear end plate 22 are blocked.

[0028] The above-mentioned circuit structure design is adopted, and the black thick line part in the figure indicates the blockage. The cooling oil enters the main channel 211 from the oil inlet at the front end plate 21. Since the connection between the inner branch oil channel 212a on the front end plate 21 and the main channel 211 is blocked, the cooling oil can only reach the outer branch oil channel 222b. Since the oil outlet of the outer branch oil channel 222a is blocked, the cooling oil flows from the outer magnetic steel slot 11a at the front end into the rotor core inside the outer branch oil channel 222b. The horizontal long arrow in the figure indicates that the cooling oil flows from front to back from left to right, and from right to left indicates that the cooling oil flows from back to front. The cooling oil moves and then flows out from the outer magnetic steel groove at the rear end. Since the oil-throwing outlets of the inner branch oil channel 222a and the outer branch oil channel 222b on the rear end plate 22 are blocked, the cooling oil can only flow to the main channel 211, and then flow into the inner branch oil channel 222a, and then flow into the rotor core from the inner magnetic steel groove 11a at the rear end, and finally flow out from the inner branch oil channel 212a on the front end plate 21 and be thrown out from the oil-throwing outlet, thereby realizing the two-way flow of the cooling oil inside the rotor 10 and cooling the double-layer magnetic steel of the rotor.

[0029] Embodiment 2 The technical solutions of this embodiment and the embodiment are basically the same, except that the blocking positions on the tree-shaped oil passages are different, thereby changing the flow path of the cooling oil.

[0030] In this embodiment, the main channel 211 between the inner branch oil channel 212a and the outer branch oil channel 222a on the front end plate 21 is blocked, and the oil throwing outlet of the inner branch oil channel 212a on the front end plate 21 is blocked; The oil inlet of the main channel 211 on the rear end plate 22 is blocked, and the oil throwing outlets of the inner layer branch oil channel 222a and the outer layer branch oil channel 222b on the rear end plate 22 are blocked.

[0031] The above-mentioned circuit structure design is adopted, and the black thick line part in the figure indicates the blockage. The cooling oil enters the main channel 211 from the oil inlet at the front end plate 21. Since the main channel 211 between the inner layer branch oil channel 212a and the outer layer branch oil channel 222a on the front end plate 21 is blocked, the cooling oil can only reach the inner layer branch oil channel 212a. Since the oil outlet of the inner layer branch oil channel 212a on the front end plate 21 is blocked, the cooling oil flows into the rotor core from the inner layer branch oil channel 212a to the inner layer magnetic steel slot 11a at the front end. The horizontal long arrow in the figure indicates that the cooling oil flows from front to back from left to right, and from right to left indicates that the cooling oil flows from back to front, and then flows from the inner layer magnetic steel slot 11a at the rear end. Since the oil inlet of the main channel 211 on the rear end plate 22 is blocked, the cooling oil can only flow upward into the outer branch oil channel 222b of the rear end plate. Since the oil throwing outlets of the inner branch oil channel 222a and the outer branch oil channel 222b on the rear end plate 22 are blocked, the cooling oil flows into the outer magnetic steel groove located at the rear end in the outer branch oil channel 222b, then flows out from the outer magnetic steel groove located at the rear end, and finally is thrown out from the oil throwing outlet of the outer branch oil channel 212b of the front end plate, thereby realizing the two-way flow of cooling oil inside the rotor 10 and cooling the double-layer magnetic steel of the rotor.

[0032] In the first embodiment, the cooling oil first cools the outer magnetic steel and then cools the inner magnetic steel. In the present embodiment, the cooling oil first cools the inner magnetic steel and then cools the outer magnetic steel.

[0033] Embodiment 3 The difference between this embodiment and the above two embodiments is that the tree-shaped oil channel includes three layers of branch oil channels, and the three layers of branch oil channels include inner branch oil channels 212a, 212b, middle branch oil channels 212c, 212d and outer branch oil channels 212e, 212f. Correspondingly, the magnetic steel groove also has three layers and corresponds one by one to all the branch oil channels.

[0034] The front end plate 21 is provided with two groups of three-layer branch oil passages.

[0035] In the first group, the connections between the inner branch oil passage 212a, the middle branch oil passage 212c and the trunk passage 21 are blocked, the oil throwing outlets of the inner branch oil passage 212a, the middle branch oil passage 212c and the outer branch oil passage 212e are all blocked, and the inner branch oil passage 212a and the middle branch oil passage 212c are connected at one side close to the trunk passage 21; In the second group, the oil-slinging outlets of the middle branch oil passage 212d and the outer branch oil passage 212f are blocked, the connection between the inner branch oil passage 212b and the trunk passage 211 is blocked, the middle branch oil passage 212d and the outer branch oil passage 212f are connected through the trunk passage 211, and the oil inlet of the trunk passage 21 is blocked; The rear end plate and the front end plate have the same structure, and the first group of three-layer branch oil passages on the rear end plate and the second group of three-layer branch oil passages on the front end plate are arranged correspondingly.

[0036] After adopting the above-mentioned circuit structure design, the cooling oil enters the trunk 211 from the oil inlet at the front end plate 21. Since the connection between the inner branch oil channel 212a, the middle branch oil channel 212c and the trunk 21 is blocked, the cooling oil enters the outer branch oil channel 212e and reaches the rear end through the magnetic steel groove located on the outer layer. The horizontal long arrows in the figure indicate that the cooling oil flows from front to back from left to right, and from right to left to indicate that the cooling oil flows from back to front. The second group of three-layer branch oil channels at the rear end corresponds to the first group of three-layer branch oil channels at the front end. Therefore, on the rear end plate, the oil throwing outlets of the middle branch oil channel 212d and the outer branch oil channel 212f are both blocked. The middle branch oil passage 212d and the outer branch oil passage 212f are connected through the trunk passage 211. Therefore, the cooling oil flows from the outer branch oil passage 212f into the middle branch oil passage 212d, and passes through the middle magnetic steel groove to reach the front end. On the front end plate, the middle branch oil passage 212c and the inner branch oil passage 212a are connected. The cooling oil flows from the middle branch oil passage 212c into the inner branch oil passage 212a, and passes through the inner magnetic steel groove to reach the rear end, and is thrown out from the oil throwing outlet of the inner branch oil passage 212b on the rear end plate, thereby realizing the three-way flow of cooling oil inside the rotor 10 and cooling the three layers of magnetic steel of the rotor.

[0037] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principle of the present invention should be included in the protection scope of the present invention.
