It should be understood that these embodiments are provided to make the disclosure of the present invention thorough and complete, and to fully convey the concepts of these exemplary embodiments to those of ordinary skill in the art. Obviously, the implementation of the embodiments of the present invention is not limited to the specific details familiar to those skilled in the art. The preferred embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below, but in addition to these detailed descriptions, the present invention may also have other embodiments.

[0062] Ordinal numbers such as "first" and "second" cited in the present invention are merely identifications and do not have any other meanings, such as a specific order, etc. Moreover, for example, the term "first component" itself does not imply the existence of the "second component", and the term "second component" itself does not imply the existence of the "first component".

[0063] It should be noted that the terms "upper", "lower", "front", "back", "left", "right", "inside", "outside" and similar expressions used in the present invention are for illustrative purposes only and are not limiting.

[0064] The invention discloses a rotor assembly, a motor, an electric assembly and a vehicle.

[0065] Now, exemplary embodiments according to the present invention will be described in more detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0066] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 As shown, in a preferred embodiment, a rotor assembly comprises: a rotor 9 and two magnetic isolation plates;

[0067] The rotor 9 includes an iron core 904, and the iron core 904 is provided with an axial flow channel penetrating along the axial direction of the rotor 9, and the axial flow channel constitutes a part of the motor cooling oil channel; the axial flow channel may include a magnetic steel groove and may also include a weight reduction groove;

[0068] Two magnetic isolation plates are respectively arranged at two ends of the rotor 9. An annular flow channel is arranged on one side of the magnetic isolation plate adjacent to the rotor 9. Both ends of the axial flow channel are respectively connected to an annular flow channel of a magnetic isolation plate.

[0069] The annular flow channel is conveniently connected to the axial flow channel, which can reduce the requirements for motor assembly accuracy and allow the cooling oil to flow smoothly into the axial flow channel.

[0070] The rotor assembly in this embodiment connects the two ends of the axial flow channel of the rotor by arranging an annular flow channel on the magnetic isolation plate, so that the cooling oil can flow in from both ends of the axial flow channel, thereby avoiding the imbalance of the center of gravity of the rotor caused by uneven amount of cooling oil flowing into the axial flow channel from one side, thereby ensuring the balanced operation of the motor, improving the cooling efficiency and extending the service life of the motor.

[0071] In one embodiment, if Figure 2 , Figure 3 As shown, the iron core 904 is provided with a magnetic steel slot 902 that penetrates the rotor 9 in the axial direction, and the axial flow channel may include the magnetic steel slot 902, the magnetic steel slot 902 is used to install the magnetic steel 903, and the magnetic steel slot 902 also constitutes a part of the motor cooling oil channel;

[0072] The magnetic isolation plate is arranged at the end of the rotor 9, and an annular flow channel is arranged on the side of the magnetic isolation plate adjacent to the rotor 9, and the annular flow channel is connected to the magnetic steel groove 902. A magnetic isolation plate is arranged at each end of the rotor 9, and cooling oil can circulate in the annular flow channel, and cooling oil can flow into the annular flow channel from both ends of the magnetic steel groove 902.

[0073] The iron core 904 can be made of laminated silicon steel sheets, and the magnetic steel 903 is a permanent magnet. The magnetic steel slot 902 is set in a V shape or other shapes in the iron core 904, and the cross-sectional area of ​​the magnetic steel slot 902 is larger than the cross-sectional area of ​​the magnetic steel 903, so after the magnetic steel 903 is installed in the magnetic steel slot 902, there is still remaining space, so that cooling oil can flow, so that the magnetic steel slot 902 constitutes a partial channel of the motor cooling oil channel. After the cooling oil enters the magnetic steel slot 902, the cooling oil directly contacts the magnetic steel 903, which can efficiently take away the heat of the magnetic steel, so that the magnetic steel 903 is quickly cooled without high temperature.

[0074] By arranging an annular flow channel on the magnetic isolation plate and making the magnetic steel groove of the rotor a part of the motor cooling oil channel, the annular flow channel is conveniently connected to the magnetic steel groove, which can reduce the requirements for the motor assembly accuracy, so that the cooling oil can flow smoothly into the magnetic steel groove, expand the area of ​​the cooling channel, improve the cooling efficiency, and take into account the cooling of the two heat-generating components of the motor, the rotor core and the magnetic steel, directly cool the core and the magnetic steel, effectively take away the heat of the magnetic steel, and the risk of permanent demagnetization of the magnetic steel at high temperature is low, thereby extending the service life of the motor.

[0078] The cooling oil in this embodiment may be lubricating oil, which plays a role of lubrication and cooling in the reducer and mainly plays a cooling role in the motor.

[0080] In one embodiment, if Figure 2 , Figure 4 As shown, the two magnetic isolation plates include:

[0081] A first magnetic isolation plate 7, which is disposed on the rotor shaft 6 and is adjacent to a first end of the rotor 9;

[0082] The second magnetic shielding plate 8 is arranged on the rotor shaft 6 and is adjacent to the second end of the rotor 9. Because the rotor 9 is provided with a permanent magnet, the first magnetic shielding plate 7 and the second magnetic shielding plate 8 can block the influence of the magnetic field of the permanent magnet along the axial direction of the rotor 9 to the outside, prevent magnetic leakage, optimize the magnetic field layout of the rotor 9, and improve the motor performance. The first magnetic shielding plate 7 and the second magnetic shielding plate 8 clamp the iron core 904 from both ends, and can also strengthen the structural strength of the rotor 9.

The first oil-slinging hole 601 and the second oil-slinging hole 602 are connected to the hollow cavity 603. During the rotation of the rotor shaft 6, the cooling oil is subjected to the centrifugal force and is outputted outward from the hollow cavity 603 through the first oil-slinging hole 601 and the second oil-slinging hole 602 (in the form of being slinged out). The oil slinging out through the first oil-slinging hole 601 passes through the first oil passage 701 of the first magnetic isolation plate 7 and enters the second oil passage 702. The oil slinging out through the second oil-slinging hole 602 passes through the third oil passage 801 of the second magnetic isolation plate 8 and enters the fourth oil passage 802, so that the lubricating oil enters the axial flow passage of the rotor 9 to cool the rotor 9. The number of the first oil-slinging hole 601 and the second oil-slinging hole 602 is equal, so that the amount of oil slinging on both sides is equal.

[0094] The first oil passage 701 may be provided in plurality, corresponding to the number of the first oil-slinging holes 601. The third oil-slinging holes 703 may be provided in plurality, such as four, six, etc., evenly distributed around the outer edge of the second oil passage 702, or evenly distributed in the second oil passage 702, to improve the delivery efficiency of the cooling oil.

In this embodiment, the cooling oil that enters the second oil passage 702 through the first oil-slinging hole 601 and the internal axial flow passage of the rotor 9 can be thrown out through the third oil-slinging hole 703, thereby ensuring the fluidity of the cooling oil, and at the same time, the winding 101 of the stator 10 can be cooled by oil-slinging.

[0097] In one embodiment, if Figure 8 , Fig. 9 As shown, the second magnetic isolation plate 8 is also provided with:

[0100] The second oil passage 702 is in communication with a first end of the lightening groove 901 , and the fourth oil passage 802 is in communication with a second end of the lightening groove 901 .

[0101] By making the weight-reducing groove 901 a partial channel of the motor cooling oil channel, the cooling oil enters the weight-reducing groove 901 to directly cool the iron core 904 , which can further improve the cooling efficiency of the rotor 9 .

In the cooling oil circulation loop, the electronic oil pump 1 provides conveying power for the cooling oil.

[0123] In one embodiment, if Figure 1 , Figure 2 As shown, the motor also includes:

[0124] Solenoid valve 2, solenoid valve 2 is arranged in the casing oil passage 3, and is used to control the flow of cooling oil. According to the operating conditions of the motor, the solenoid valve 2 can adjust the flow of cooling oil delivered to the motor. For example, when the motor is running at high load, the flow of cooling oil delivered to the motor is increased to improve the cooling efficiency. When the motor is running at low load, the flow of cooling oil delivered to the motor is reduced to meet the cooling requirements while reducing the agitation of the cooling oil.

[0125] In one embodiment, if Figure 1 , Figure 2 As shown, the circulation path of the cooling oil is:

[0126] The cooling oil of the rotor cooling mechanism is sucked into the electronic oil pump, and the amount of oil entering the motor is controlled by the solenoid valve and enters from the oil channel of the casing. The cooling oil enters the hollow cavity of the rotor shaft through the oil channel of the end cover. The cooling oil in the hollow cavity of the rotor shaft flows into the corresponding left and right magnetic isolation plate oil channels through the oil-flinging holes on the left and right sides of the rotor shaft respectively, and enters the annular oil channel of the magnetic isolation plate from the left and right magnetic isolation plate oil channels. The annular oil channel is connected to the rotor's iron core weight reduction groove and magnetic steel groove. The cooling oil cools the rotor core and magnetic steel. Finally, the cooling oil is thrown out from the magnetic isolation plate to cool the stator winding.

[0127] The rotor cooling mechanism of this embodiment can take into account the cooling of the three heat-generating components of the motor, namely the rotor core, the magnetic steel and the stator winding, which not only increases the service life of the motor but also reduces the risk of burning of the stator winding.

[0128] An embodiment of the present invention further provides an electric assembly, comprising the motor described in any one of the above embodiments.

[0129] The electric assembly may also include a reducer, a differential, a half shaft, etc. The reducer is connected to the motor drive and is driven by the motor.

[0130] An embodiment of the present invention further provides a vehicle, comprising the motor according to any one of the above embodiments or the electric assembly according to any one of the above embodiments.

[0131] The vehicle can be either a pure electric vehicle or a hybrid vehicle.

[0132] A rotor assembly, a motor, an electric assembly and a vehicle of the present invention have the following characteristics:

[0133] The motor rotor cooling technology in the prior art mainly removes the heat generated by the magnet and the rotor core during the operation of the motor by cooling the rotating shaft, the rotor core and other components indirectly. The heat transfer efficiency is poor, less heat is removed, and the magnet is still at risk of permanent demagnetization at high temperature. In the present invention, the rotor oil circuit directly contacts the magnet, has good heat transfer efficiency, removes more heat from the magnet, and has a low risk of permanent demagnetization at high temperature, thereby extending the service life of the motor.

[0134] The present invention uses fewer parts and realizes comprehensive cooling of the rotor core, magnetic steel and windings, has a simple structure, is easy to install and has low cost.

[0135] The motor rotor oil path flow resistance of the present invention is low, less oil is accumulated in the shaft, and while the motor cooling effect is ensured, the oil in the rotor can be discharged smoothly, reducing the mechanical loss of the motor and having little effect on the motor output power.

[0136] The processes and steps described in all the above preferred embodiments are only examples. Unless adverse effects occur, various processing operations can be performed in a sequence different from the sequence of the above processes. The sequence of steps in the above processes can also be increased, merged or deleted according to actual needs.
