[0002] Cutting-edge fields such as electric vehicles and aviation propulsion place stringent demands on motors to deliver high torque in a compact package. While traditional axial flux motors offer the inherent advantage of high power density, heat accumulation within the windings and stator conductive components creates a performance bottleneck. Heat cannot be dissipated promptly within the confined space, leading to uncontrolled temperature rise and severely limiting sustained output capability and reliability.
[0003] The axial stacking layout blocks the radial heat dissipation path, turning the rotor-stator gap into a high-temperature furnace: the winding heat density exceeds 20W / cm³, the permanent magnets face the risk of demagnetization at temperatures above 150°C, and the insulation material ages rapidly at high temperatures (lifespan decreases exponentially with temperature). Traditional air cooling or shell water cooling solutions are unable to reach the core heat source due to their high thermal resistance.
[0004] Therefore, we propose an oil-cooled axial flux motor, which uses an axial flux structure to achieve high torque density and compact design, precise temperature control of the oil cooling system, highly integrated structure, and axially flat packaging to achieve a triangular balance of high power, small size, and long life.

[0029] Three-phase current is passed through the stator winding coil → a rotating magnetic field is generated → the two rotor modules are cut → electromagnetic torque is generated synchronously in the two air gaps → the torque is output through spline shaft one and spline shaft two; the involute tooth profile of spline shaft one meshes with spline hole one; magnetic bearing one and magnetic bearing two monitor the runout of the rotor module in real time → adjust the electromagnetic force → offset the vibration harmonics caused by the uneven magnetic pull of the two rotor components; a gap is reserved on the spline meshing tooth side, and the rotor component slides along the spline shaft when it heats up to avoid jamming.

The motor outputs greater torque within the same volume, supports high-frequency starting and stopping, and transient overloads, meeting the requirements of high-power density scenarios.
[0034] The oil cooling system provides precise temperature control: The cooling oil circulation absorbs heat from core heat-generating components, preventing permanent magnet demagnetization and insulation aging, thereby extending service life. The layered thermal management design isolates the rotor assembly from the stator heat source, and the sealed housing is dust-proof and moisture-proof, ensuring stable operation in harsh operating conditions such as high temperature and dust.
[0035] Highly integrated structure: The stator conductive assembly, cooling pipe assembly, connector assembly and power terminals are modularly arranged, balancing electrical efficiency and ease of maintenance.
[0036] Axially flattened packaging: shortens the magnetic field path, reduces magnetic loss, and significantly reduces axial space occupation, providing solutions for compact space integration in vehicle chassis / aviation powertrain, etc.
[0037] The oil-cooled stator conductive components are wrapped in a design that achieves a new type of heat dissipation. Combined with the inherent advantages of axial magnetic flux, this achieves a perfect balance of high power, small size, and long life. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0078] Run the mounting screw through the mounting screw holes 30 of the main frame mounting block 48 and the end plate mounting protrusion 28, and apply an axial pre-tightening force (torque ≥ 20 N·m);
[0079] Cooling system integration: Insert the hollow winding seat 60 into the main frame storage hole 49, ensuring that the wiring hole 61 is aligned with the conductive avoidance hole 51; screw the water inlet screw 56 into the hollow winding seat connection screw hole 62 (O-ring sealed), pass it through the water guide avoidance hole 50, and then connect it to the right-angle connector 55; insert the cooling ring pipe 34 on both sides of the mounting bracket 42, and reversely connect the right-angle connector 55 and the ring pipe water connection connector 36 to form a return oil circuit; insert the water inlet connector 35 of the cooling ring pipe 34 into the water cooling avoidance through hole 11 of the shell, and connect it to the external oil circuit quick-plug interface.
[0080] Stator winding and stator conductive assembly assembly: insert the stator winding coil 58 into the winding area 59 of the hollow winding seat, and lead the connecting wire 57 through the wiring hole 61 and the conductive avoidance hole 51;
[0081] Connection by phase: connecting line four 57 of one coil in each group of coils → connecting line one 39 (phase A) + connecting line three 45 (phase C); connecting line four 57 of the other coil → busbar connecting line 41 → connecting line two 52 (phase B); stacking three busbar coils: phase B busbar ring 40 (small ring diameter) → phase A busbar ring 38 → phase C busbar ring 44, phase B power terminal 53, phase A power terminal 54 and phase C power terminal 47 are connected to the ampere connector 17, and phase A busbar ring 38 and phase C busbar ring 44 are additionally connected to the connector body 13.
[0082] Assemble the rotor assembly 2: insert the permanent magnet pole pieces 71 into the rotor mounting bracket 72 in a NS alternating pattern to form a magnetic pole array;
[0083] Align the spline holes 2 74 of the two rotor modules 68 with the spline shaft 1 65 and push them into engagement (tooth side clearance 0.1mm);
[0084] Use an assembly screw pair to penetrate the fixed end plate 64 → the rear rotor end plate mounting slot 73 → the front rotor module 68 → the mounting end plate 69 (embedded in the front rotor end plate mounting slot 73), and lock it into a truss structure.
[0085] The end cover is sealed with the magnetic bearing: the inner spline shaft 63 of the rotor assembly 2 is inserted into the magnetic bearing 29, and the connecting shaft 66 is inserted into the magnetic bearing 1 23; the motor end plate assembly 1 and the motor top plate assembly 6 are locked with the two-way screw hole 10 of the shell by connecting bolt 1 21 and connecting bolt 2 27, and the sealing ring 19 and sealing ring 2 24 press the bearing area; the spline shaft 2 67 extends from the top plate mounting hole 1 22 to connect the external load.
[0086] Workflow (energy conversion closed loop):
[0087] Electromagnetic drive stage: Current input: external power supply via ampere connector 17 → stage B power terminal 53 of stage B female coil 40, stage A power terminal 54 of stage A female coil 38 and stage C power terminal 47 of stage C female coil 44 → stage B female coil 40, stage A female coil 38 and stage C female coil 44 → distributed to stator winding coil 58;
[0088] Magnetic field generation: The three-phase current generates a rotating magnetic field with a phase difference of 120° in the circular coil, and the magnetic flux direction is parallel to the axis of rotation (axial direction);
[0089] Torque output: The rotating magnetic field cuts the permanent magnet pole pieces 71 of the two rotor assemblies 2 → electromagnetic torque is generated synchronously in the double air gaps → the torque is output through the spline shaft 1 65 and the spline shaft 2 67;
[0090] Dynamic suspension control: The displacement sensor monitors the position of the rotor assembly 2 in real time → the controller adjusts the current of the electromagnet 33 of the magnetic bearing 1 23 and the magnetic bearing 2 29 → generates a dynamic repulsive magnetic field → maintains the radial / axial suspension of the rotor assembly 2 (deviation ≤ 5μm), with a rotation speed of 0-50,000rpm without mechanical friction.
[0091] Oil cooling cycle: A [external oil pump] → B (cooling oil 35°C), B → C [water connection joint 35], C → D [cooling loop pipe 34], D → E [water connection joint 36], E → F [right-angle joint 55], F → G [water connection spiral pipe 56], G → H [hollow cavity of hollow winding seat 60], H → I [directly flush winding copper wire], I → J [oil temperature rises to 65°C], J → K [water connection spiral pipe 56 on the other side], K → L [reverse cooling loop pipe 34], L → M [the other water connection joint 35], M → N [external radiator], N → A;
[0092] Heat dissipation efficiency: The turbulent oil flow contacts the winding surface, reducing thermal resistance by 70%; the reverse flow of the double-loop pipes balances the pressure difference (<5%), and the winding temperature rise is <40K.
[0093] Thermal management expansion: Passive heat dissipation: High-temperature oil mist forms eddies in heat dissipation blind holes 1 and 2, which then conduct heat to the environment through the metal end plates (auxiliary heat dissipation efficiency +25%). Thermal deformation compensation: The spline tooth side clearance (0.1mm) allows for axial thermal expansion of rotor assembly 2 of ±0.2mm to prevent sticking.
[0094] Safety monitoring: The connector body 13 collects the voltages of the stage A female ring 38 and the stage C female ring 44 in real time, analyzes the neutral point balance, and triggers overtemperature / overcurrent protection. When a single cooling loop fails, the other loop maintains 60% of its heat dissipation capacity to ensure emergency operation.
[0095] In summary, the axial flux structure achieves high torque density and compact design. The built-in oil cooling pipe assembly 4 directly cools the stator conductive assembly 8 and windings, breaking through the heat dissipation bottleneck of traditional motors. The motor outputs greater torque within the same volume, supports high-frequency starting and stopping, and transient overloads, meeting the requirements of high-power density scenarios.
[0096] The oil cooling system provides precise temperature control: The cooling oil circulates to absorb heat from core heat-generating components, preventing permanent magnet demagnetization and insulation aging, thereby extending service life. A layered thermal management design isolates the rotor assembly 2 from the stator heat source. Combined with the motor end plate assembly 1, stator housing assembly 3, and motor top plate assembly 6, the system is dust- and moisture-proof, ensuring stable operation in harsh operating conditions such as high temperatures and dusty conditions.
[0097] Highly integrated structure: The stator conductive assembly 8 - cooling pipe assembly 4 - connector assembly 5 and power terminal 7 are modularly arranged, taking into account both electrical efficiency and maintenance convenience;
[0098] Axially flattened packaging: shortens the magnetic field path, reduces magnetic loss, and significantly reduces axial space occupation, providing solutions for compact space integration in vehicle chassis / aviation powertrain, etc.
[0099] The "oil-cooled wrapped stator conductive components" design realizes a new type of heat dissipation, combined with the original advantages of axial magnetic flux, to achieve a triangular balance of high power, small size and long life.
