Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the field of range extender water-cooled generator housing design, and in particular to a range extender generator housing structure and a generator housing design method. Background Art

[0002] The range extender is an additional energy storage component installed on pure electric vehicles to increase the mileage of pure electric vehicles. The working principle of the electric vehicle range extender generator is to use a small engine, usually gasoline, to drive the generator to generate electricity. The generated electricity can directly drive the electric vehicle's motor or charge the electric vehicle's battery. When the electric vehicle battery is low on power, the range extender can start working and provide a continuous supply of electricity, allowing the electric vehicle to continue driving, solving the problem of the electric vehicle running out of power halfway. The range extender usually includes components such as an engine, a generator, an inverter, and a controller system.

[0003] With the rapid development of the new energy vehicle industry, the market size of extended-range vehicles is showing a trend of continuous expansion. In the design of the range extender, due to the different layout and envelope requirements of different new energy vehicles, as well as different power requirements, there are differences between the generator system and its components, and the versatility and interchangeability of the components are poor. This is mainly reflected in the different requirements for axial space and external interfaces, and the design of the motor housing cannot be universal. In terms of cost, the overall cost of the generator system is mainly composed of components such as the stator and rotor assembly, motor housing, motor end cover, and junction box cover. Generally speaking, the mold opening cost of the motor housing accounts for about 70%-75% of the overall mold cost of the electric drive system, and the design and mold opening process of the motor housing usually occupies 20-30% of the entire electric drive project development cycle.

[0004] The existing range extender generator housing design structure and method have problems such as poor generator system platform versatility, poor component interchangeability and a long development cycle. Summary of the invention

A plurality of lugs are arranged at intervals on the shell wall 4. The controller mounting hole 4-5 and the vehicle threaded interface 4-6 are arranged on the lugs. The position and shape of the lugs are designed according to the installation requirements of the vehicle.

[0042] The middle part of the bottom surface of the connecting plate 5 is a bearing mounting hole 5-3, and the motor shaft passes through the bearing mounting hole 5-3 to drive the motor to work. The chassis 5 is provided with an oil seal mounting hole 5-4 for mounting an oil seal, and an oil seal is installed at the oil seal mounting hole 5-4 to prevent water and dust from entering the motor cavity. The connecting plate 5 has a certain thickness, and the oil seal mounting hole 5-4 is located on the surface of the connecting plate 5, or protrudes from the surface of the connecting plate 5.

The bottom surface of each slider includes an arc-shaped groove, and the groove is adapted to the shape of the motor outer shell. During the casting process, the four sliders are assembled together and surround the outer periphery of the outer shell 3. One side of each slider is connected to the cylinder. When the four sliders surround the outer periphery of the outer shell 3, the four sliders are pressed tight by the cylinder so that the groove of each slider is close to the outer wall of the outer shell 3. According to the difference of the vehicle mounting interface, that is, the whole vehicle threaded interface 4-6, only one of the sliders can be changed. In one embodiment of the present invention, the left slider 9 on the shell wall 4 that matches the surface where the whole vehicle threaded interface 4-6 is located is changed, and the remaining sliders are shared. In the present invention, the motor outer shell mold is divided into four independent sliders. When the vehicle interface, that is, the whole vehicle threaded interface 4-6, is different, only one of the sliders needs to be changed, and the other three sliders are universal, so as to achieve maximum sharing of the mold and reduce the project development cycle and development costs.
