However, it is apparent to those skilled in the art that the present invention can be implemented without one or more of these details. In other examples, in order to avoid confusion with the present invention, some technical features well known in the art are not described.
[0087] In order to fully understand the present invention, a detailed description will be provided in the following description. 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.
[0088] 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".
[0089] 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.
[0090] The invention discloses a motor, an electric assembly and a vehicle.
[0091] Now, exemplary embodiments according to the present invention will be described in more detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0092] like Figure 1 , Figure 2As shown, in a preferred embodiment, a motor includes: a stator 80 and a cover; the stator 80 is fixed inside the housing 2;
[0093] The stator 80 includes a winding 81, which is an electromagnetic circuit composed of a plurality of wires or coils. When the motor is running, the winding 81 can generate a magnetic field, which generates an electromagnetic effect with the rotor 70 to drive the rotor 70 to rotate.
[0094] The cover is adjacent to the stator 80 and relatively fixed. The cover is arranged corresponding to the winding 81, and the cover partially surrounds the end of the winding 81; the partial surround can also be called half surround, which requires that at least two wraps of the cover surround the end of the winding 81;
[0095] A first cooling channel is provided inside the cover body, and cooling oil can flow through the first cooling channel. The cooling oil is sprayed toward the winding 81 from the first cooling channel, and the cooling oil can cool the winding 81 .
[0096] In the motor of this embodiment, the cooling oil can enter the first cooling channel of the cover body and spray the cooling oil toward the stator winding, significantly improving the cooling effect of the motor cooling system. The cover body adopts an incomplete sealing design to partially surround the end of the winding 81. On the one hand, the cooling oil can fully exchange heat with the winding in the cover body. On the other hand, the incomplete sealing design reduces the difficulty of cover body design and processing, which can effectively improve reliability and reduce production costs. The cooling structure of the motor has the advantages of simple structure, low cost, easy assembly and high reliability, and can solve the problem that the immersion cooling method cannot be sealed due to special-shaped windings.
[0097] The two ends of the winding 81 can generally be divided into a hairpin end and a welding end. Figure 1 The left side in the middle is a hairpin end, and the conductor in the winding 81 has a twisted structure on the left side. The right side is a welding end, and the conductor in the winding 81 is connected by welding on the right side to form a passage.

[0104] The second cooling channel is not directly connected to the first cooling channel, but because the cover body is adjacent to the stator 80 and relatively fixed, the cooling oil output from the second cooling channel can flow into the first cooling channel along the outer circumferential surface of the cover body (using the transition cavity), thereby realizing the circulation of cooling oil between the second cooling channel and the first cooling channel.

[0154] A first radial flow channel 362, the first radial flow channel 362 is disposed in the first radial portion 194, and the first radial flow channel 362 is provided with at least one oil injection hole;
[0155] The first inner peripheral flow channel 363 is disposed in the first inner peripheral portion 195 , and the first inner peripheral flow channel 363 is provided with at least one oil injection hole.
[0156] The first flow channel 36 is C-shaped as a whole, and the inlet of the first flow channel 36 is arranged on the outer circumference of the first outer peripheral portion 193. By designing the first flow channel 36 to conform to the first cover body 190, the length of the first flow channel 36 can be extended, the spraying range of the first flow channel 36 can be expanded, and the cooling effect on the winding 81 can be improved.
[0157] like Figure 7 , Figure 8 As shown, the second flow channel 30 includes:
[0158] A second peripheral flow channel 301, which is disposed on the second peripheral portion 205, and is provided with at least one oil injection hole;
[0159] A second radial flow channel 302, the second radial flow channel 302 is disposed in the second radial portion 206, and the second radial flow channel 302 is provided with at least one oil injection hole;
[0160] The second inner peripheral flow channel 303 is disposed in the second inner peripheral portion 207 , and the second inner peripheral flow channel 303 is provided with at least one oil injection hole.
[0161] The second flow channel 30 is C-shaped as a whole, and the inlet of the second flow channel 30 is arranged on the outer circumferential surface of the second outer peripheral portion 205. By designing the second flow channel 30 and the second cover body 200 to conform to each other, the length of the second flow channel 30 can be extended, the spraying range of the second flow channel 30 can be expanded, and the cooling effect on the winding 81 can be improved.
[0162] In one embodiment, if Figure 3 , Figure 6 As shown, the cover body is provided with a plurality of rib structures, the rib structures protrude from the inner side surface and / or the outer side surface of the cover body, and the flow channel is provided inside the rib structure.
[0163] like Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 As shown, the rib structure of the first cover body 19 protrudes from the inner side and the outer side of the first cover body 190, and the first flow channel 36 is arranged inside the rib structure. Because the thickness of the first cover body 190 is relatively thin, the rib structure protrudes from the first cover body 190 to form the first flow channel 36 for circulating cooling oil, and there is no need to thicken the first cover body 190 as a whole to increase the cost.
[0164] like Figure 6 , Figure 7 , Figure 8 As shown, the rib structure of the second cover body 20 protrudes from the inner side and the outer side of the second cover body 200, and the second flow channel 30 is arranged inside the rib structure. Because the thickness of the second cover body 200 is relatively thin, the rib structure protrudes from the second cover body 200 to form the second flow channel 30 for circulating cooling oil, and there is no need to thicken the second cover body 200 as a whole to increase the cost.
[0165] In one embodiment, if Figure 8 , Fig. 9 As shown, a sealing groove 202 is provided at the edge of the second cover body 200 that contacts the stator 80, and a sealing ring 203 is provided in the sealing groove 202, which can seal the portion where the cover edge contacts the stator 80 to prevent cooling oil from flowing out of the portion and causing confusion in the cooling oil circulation path.
[0166] In one embodiment, if Figure 1 , Figure 2As shown, the casing body 2 is provided with a third cooling channel, and the third cooling channel can circulate cooling oil, and the cooling oil circulates from the third cooling channel to the second cooling channel. Through this arrangement, the casing body 2 can be used to set the cooling channel, and the integration of the cooling channel and the motor is improved.
[0167] In one embodiment, if Figure 1 , Figure 2 As shown, the third cooling channel includes:
[0168] The second radial flow channel 25 is arranged in the housing 2 along the radial direction of the motor, and the first end of the second radial flow channel 25 is connected to the second cooling channel of the stator core 82. Because the cooling annular groove 83 is arranged radially, the second radial flow channel 25 needs to dock with the cooling annular groove 83, so the second radial flow channel 25 is arranged along the radial direction of the motor.
[0169] In one embodiment, if Figure 1 , Figure 2 As shown, the third cooling channel also includes:
[0170] A second axial flow channel 23, the second axial flow channel 23 is arranged on the housing 2 along the axial direction of the motor;
[0171] A third axial flow channel 24, the third axial flow channel 24 is arranged on the housing 2 along the axial direction of the motor;
[0172] The third axial flow channel 24 is connected to the second end of the second radial flow channel 25 , and the third axial flow channel 24 is connected to the second axial flow channel 23 . The inner diameter of the third axial flow channel 24 is smaller than the inner diameter of the second axial flow channel 23 .
[0173] According to the flow path of the cooling oil, multiple flow channels are arranged in the housing case 2 to form a third cooling channel. Because the second axial flow channel 23 also needs to connect to the fourth cooling channel, the inner diameter of the second axial flow channel 23 needs to be designed to be larger.
[0174] The second axial flow channel 23, the third axial flow channel 24 and the second radial flow channel 25 can be arranged at the upper part of the casing 2, so that the cooling oil flows from top to bottom into the second cooling channel of the stator core 82, thereby accelerating the flow speed of the cooling oil.
[0175] In one embodiment, if Figure 1 , Figure 2 As shown, the motor also includes:
[0176] The casing end cover 1 is provided with a fourth cooling channel, the fourth cooling channel can flow cooling oil, and the cooling oil flows from the fourth cooling channel to the third cooling channel. Through this arrangement, the casing end cover 1 can be used to set the cooling channel, thereby improving the integration of the cooling channel and the motor.
[0177] In one embodiment, if Figure 1 , Figure 2 As shown, the fourth cooling channel includes:
[0178] A first radial flow channel 21, the first radial flow channel 21 is arranged on the housing end cover 1 along the radial direction of the motor;
[0179] A first axial flow channel 22, the first axial flow channel 22 is arranged on the housing end cover 1 along the axial direction of the motor;
[0180] Both ends of the first axial flow channel 22 are connected to the second axial flow channel 23 and the first radial flow channel 21 respectively. The inner diameter of the first axial flow channel 22 is not less than the inner diameter of the first radial flow channel 21 , and the inner diameter of the first axial flow channel 22 is less than the inner diameter of the second axial flow channel 23 .
[0181] According to the flow path of the cooling oil, multiple flow channels are arranged in the housing end cover 1 to form a fourth cooling channel. Because the second axial flow channel 23 needs to dock with the first axial flow channel 22, the inner diameters of the two need to be designed to be different, so that the docking is convenient and there is a certain fault tolerance function.
[0182] Because the middle of the casing end cover 1 is the main inlet of the cooling oil, it is necessary to arrange the first radial flow channel 21 on the casing end cover 1 along the radial direction of the motor to facilitate connection with the main inlet.
[0183] In one embodiment, if Figure 1 , Figure 2 As shown, the motor also includes:
[0184] The motor shaft 5, the rotor 70 is arranged on the motor shaft 5, and the motor shaft 5 supports the rotor 70 to rotate;
[0185] A first bearing 3, which is disposed in the middle of the housing end cover 1 and supports a first end of the motor shaft 5;
[0186] The second bearing 4 is arranged in the middle of the left side of the casing 2 to support the second end of the motor shaft 5 .
[0187] A third radial flow channel 26 is provided on the left side of the casing body 2. The third radial flow channel 26 is connected to the third axial flow channel 24 of the third cooling channel, and can spray cooling oil to the second bearing 4 to play a role of cooling and lubrication.
[0188] The specific assembly process of the motor in this embodiment is as follows:
[0189] Install the second bearing 4 into the casing body 2, and install the second cover body 20 into the casing body 2; install the stator core 82 and the stator winding 81 into the casing body 2; fix the motor shaft 5, the first magnetic isolation plate 6, the rotor core with permanent magnets, the second magnetic isolation plate 7 and the pressure ring 8 together (the pressure ring 8 and the motor shaft 5 are interference fit), and install the whole into the casing body 2; install the first cover body 19 into the casing body 2; install the first bearing 3 into the casing end cover 1; finally, connect the combined casing end cover 1 and the casing body 2 to complete the assembly of the motor.
[0190] like Figure 2 As shown by the middle arrow, after the cooling oil passes through the oil pump and the oil cooler in sequence, part of the cooling oil is separated to cool the first bearing 3 and the rotor 70, and the remaining cooling oil enters the top of the motor through the first radial flow channel 21 of the housing end cover 1. After entering the first radial flow channel 21, the cooling oil enters the first axial flow channel 22, the second axial flow channel 23 and the third axial flow channel 24 in sequence. The cooling oil flowing into the third axial flow channel 24 is divided into two paths, one path flows into the stator 80 through the second radial flow channel 25, and the other path cools the second bearing 4 through the third radial flow channel 26.
[0191] like Fig.10 As shown, the cooling oil flowing into the second radial flow channel 25 flows into the groove (cooling ring groove 83) of the stator lamination 16, and the cooling oil flowing into the groove is divided into two paths, one path flows into the oil collecting chamber of the first cover 19 and the oil collecting chamber of the second cover 20 through the yoke oil hole 29, and the other path is sprayed to the winding welding end and the winding hairpin end through the tooth bottom oil hole 28 close to the stator tooth slot 27. Among them, the end surface shapes of the stator lamination 14, the stator lamination 15, the stator lamination 16, the stator lamination 17 and the stator lamination 18 are consistent.
