[0024] In the embodiment of the present application, a stator, a rotor 51, a fan 80, and a rotating shaft 70 are arranged in the motor base 10 of the permanent magnet traction motor, and a transmission end bearing assembly and a non-transmission end bearing assembly are arranged at both ends of the motor base 10. The stator includes a stator core 41 and a winding 42, and the rotor 51 includes a rotor core 51 and a permanent magnet embedded in the rotor core 51.

The non-transmission end bearing assembly is arranged at the non-transmission end of the motor shaft 70, and the non-transmission end bearing assembly includes a non-transmission end cover 92, a non-transmission end bearing and a sleeve. The sleeve is sleeved on the motor shaft 70, and the inner ring of the non-transmission end bearing is connected to the sleeve and the outer ring is connected to the non-transmission end cover 92.

The transmission end cover 91 and the non-transmission end cover 92 are respectively mounted on two ends of the motor base 10 .

[0026] In the embodiment of the present application, a ventilation rib plate 20 is provided outside the motor base 10, and an air duct 21 is formed between the ventilation rib plate 20 and the outer wall of the motor base 10. Figure 3 The air duct 21 is connected to the air gap 60 to form the first circulation loop of the motor; the air duct 21 is connected to the ventilation hole 52 in the rotor 51 to form the second circulation loop of the motor. The permanent magnet traction motor exchanges heat with the outside world through the cooling water channel 11 and the above two circulation loops to enhance the heat dissipation capacity of the motor and reduce the temperature rise of the motor.

[0027] In the embodiment of the present application, the ventilation ribs 20 extend in the axial direction, that is, they extend in the same direction as the shaft 70. Preferably, the air duct 21 between the ventilation ribs 20 and the outer wall of the motor base 10 communicates with the N end and the D end of the motor.

[0028] The above-mentioned permanent magnet traction motor is provided with ventilation ribs 20 on the outer wall of the motor base 10, and the ventilation ribs 20 extend axially. An air duct 21 is formed between the ventilation ribs 20 and the motor base 10, and the air duct 21 is connected with the air gap 60 between the stator and the rotor 51, and is connected with the ventilation holes 52 in the rotor 51. Compared with the design of the existing stator ventilation holes 52, it fully utilizes the external installation space of the motor and reduces the effective volume of the motor; and a cooling water channel 11 is formed on the inner wall circumferential side of the motor base 10, and the air duct 21 and the cooling water channel 11 are respectively located on the inner wall and outer wall of the motor base 10, so that the cooling water channel 11 can cool the circulating air in the air duct 21, thereby improving the heat dissipation efficiency of the motor and reducing the temperature rise rate of the motor.

[0029] In some embodiments, there are multiple ventilation ribs 20, and the multiple ventilation ribs 20 are spaced apart on the outer wall of the motor base 10. In the embodiment of the present application, the multiple ventilation ribs 20 are spaced apart along the circumference of the motor base 10. Each ventilation rib 20 extends axially, and the air duct 21 extends axially. The circulating air in the air duct 21 can exchange heat with the cooling water in the cooling water channel 11 on the inner wall of the motor base 10. The cooling water channel 11 is arranged along the circumference of the motor base 10. The multiple ventilation ribs 20 and the air gap 60 inside the motor base 10 and the ventilation holes 52 of the rotor 51 form more circulation loops, which is beneficial to improving the heat dissipation efficiency of the motor. Refer to Figure 2 The number of the ventilation ribs 20 is 3, and the 3 ventilation ribs 20 are evenly arranged on the outer wall of the motor base 10. That is, the interval between two adjacent ventilation ribs 20 is 120 degrees.

[0030] In some embodiments, the length of the air duct 21 in the axial direction is greater than the length of the cooling water channel 11 in the axial direction. In the embodiment of the present application, the cooling water channel 11 is set as long as possible to facilitate better heat exchange. However, the cooling water channel 11 is located inside the motor base 10, which determines that its length is limited; if it is installed outside the motor base 10, it can be set to a longer length.

[0031] In some embodiments, two ends of the outer wall of the motor base 10 are respectively provided with connecting holes 93 , and the air duct 21 is respectively connected with the air gap 60 and the ventilation hole 52 through the two connecting holes 93 .

[0032] Reference Figure 3 The connecting holes 93 are respectively provided on the pressing rings at both ends of the motor base 10. The connecting holes 93 are axially located outside the cooling water channel 11, that is, the connecting holes 93 are located on the side of the two end covers. The first circulation loop and the second circulation loop are both connected through the connecting holes 93.

[0033] When a turn-to-turn short circuit occurs in the permanent magnet traction motor, high-temperature and high-pressure gas will be generated in both the first circulation loop and the second circulation loop, posing a safety hazard. In some embodiments, the permanent magnet traction motor further includes a pressure regulating valve 30, and pressure regulating valves 30 are provided at both ends of the ventilation rib plate 20 to isolate or connect the air duct 21 to the outside.

[0034] In the present application, refer to Figure 2 , Figure 3 The pressure regulating valve 30 is located at both ends of the ventilation rib 20. Opening the pressure regulating valve 30 can release the high-temperature and high-pressure gas in the motor to the outside of the motor base 10, reduce the high-temperature gas pressure inside the motor base 10, and avoid the expansion of the impact of the permanent magnet motor failure; closing the pressure regulating valve 30 closes the gas release channel, so that the gas continues to circulate in the first circulation loop and the second circulation loop in the motor base 10.

[0035] In some embodiments, the permanent magnet traction motor includes a stator core 41, a winding 42 and a temperature sensor 43. The stator core 41 is arranged in the motor base 10, and the winding 42 is wound on the stator core 41. An insulating paint coating is formed on the surface of the winding 42. One end of the sleeve is closed and located in the nose gap of the winding 42. One end of the temperature sensor 43 is inserted into the sleeve, and the other end extends out of the motor base 10.

[0036] The stator winding 42 is generally connected with a temperature sensor 43, which is fixed in the interlayer insulation of the stator winding 42 before the stator winding 42 is dipped in paint. After the insulating paint is cured, the stator winding 42 and the temperature sensor 43 are covered together by the insulating paint; when the temperature sensor 43 fails, it cannot be replaced.

[0037] In the embodiment of the present application, specifically, a silicone rubber sleeve with one end closed is first inserted into the nose gap of the winding 42 before dipping in paint, the middle of the silicone rubber sleeve is filled with a polytetrafluoroethylene rod, the stator winding 42 is dipped in paint, and the polytetrafluoroethylene rod is taken out after curing, and the temperature sensor 43 is inserted and fixed, so that it can be replaced at any time in case of a fault, thereby improving the temperature protection accuracy and maintainability of the permanent magnet traction motor.

[0038] The permanent magnet traction motor of the embodiment of the present application is provided with a ventilation rib 20 on the outer wall of the motor base 10, the ventilation rib 20 extends axially, and an air duct 21 is formed between the ventilation rib 20 and the motor base 10, and the air duct 21 is connected with the air gap 60 and the ventilation hole 52 in the motor base 10 respectively. Compared with the existing stator ventilation hole 52 design, the external installation space of the motor is fully utilized and the effective volume of the motor is reduced; and a cooling water channel 11 is formed on the inner wall circumference of the motor base 10, and the air duct 21 and the cooling water channel 11 are respectively located on the inner wall and the outer wall of the motor base 10, so that the cooling water channel 11 can cool the circulating air in the air duct 21, thereby improving the heat dissipation efficiency of the motor and reducing the temperature rise rate of the motor. In addition, a temperature sensor 43 is installed after the stator winding 42 is dipped in paint, so that it can be replaced at any time in case of a fault, thereby improving the temperature protection accuracy and maintainability of the permanent magnet traction motor. Third, pressure regulating valves 30 are provided at both ends of the ventilation ribs 20. By opening the pressure regulating valves 30, the high-temperature and high-pressure gas in the motor can be released to the outside of the motor base 10, thereby reducing the high-temperature gas pressure inside the motor base 10 and avoiding the expansion of the impact of permanent magnet motor failure.

[0039] The second aspect of the embodiment of the present application provides a rail vehicle, comprising the permanent magnet traction motor described above. The rail vehicle comprises the permanent magnet traction motor of the embodiment of the present application, and thus has the same effect as the permanent magnet traction motor described above, which will not be described in detail here.

[0040] The above description of the disclosed embodiments enables one skilled in the art to implement or use the present invention. Various modifications to these embodiments will be apparent to one skilled in the art, and the general principles defined herein may be implemented in other embodiments without departing from the spirit or scope of the present invention. Therefore, the present invention will not be limited to the embodiments shown herein, but rather to the widest scope consistent with the principles and novel features disclosed herein.
