For those skilled in the art, the specific meaning of the above terms in the present application can be understood according to the specific circumstances.

[0033] Embodiments of the present application relate to a pump. For example, the pump can be an electronic oil pump.

[0034] As shown in Figure 1 The pump comprises a pump body (not shown), a motor 20 and a terminal box (not shown) arranged in sequence along the axial direction, i.e. the motor 20 is connected between the pump body and the terminal box. The motor 20 is used to drive the pump body to work, and the terminal box is used to control the motor 20 to work. It should be noted that the present application does not involve the improvement of the pump body, and the structure of the pump body will not be described again.

[0035] As shown in Figure 2As shown, the motor 20 comprises a motor shell 21, a stator assembly 22 and a rotor assembly 23. The motor shell 21 is a cylinder with two open ends, the motor shell 21 has a first end 211 and a second end 212 arranged oppositely, the first end 211 is connected to the pump body, and the second end 212 is connected to the terminal box. The stator assembly 22 is arranged inside the motor shell 21, and the stator assembly 22 comprises a stator core 221, a plastic skeleton 222 and a stator winding (not shown). The stator core 221 is in contact with the motor shell 21 and is fixed, for example, the stator core 221 and the motor shell 21 are fixed to each other by interference fit. The rotor assembly 23 is arranged inside the stator assembly 22, and the rotor assembly 23 can rotate relative to the stator assembly 22, and the rotor assembly 23 is used to drive the pump body to work.

[0036] As shown in Figure 2 , the terminal box is internally provided with a circuit board 31, and the circuit board 31 is used to drive the motor 20 to work. Specifically, the circuit board 31 and the stator assembly 22 are provided with three-phase pins 60 and ground pins 50. One end of the three-phase pin 60 is connected to the circuit board 31, and the other end of the three-phase pin 60 is connected to the stator winding. One end of the ground pin 50 is connected to the ground end of the circuit board 31, and the other end of the ground pin 50 is connected to the stator core 221.

[0037] It should be noted that in the embodiment of the present application, the motor shell 21 is made of conductive material (for example, aluminum), and the stator core 221 is in contact with the motor shell 21, so that the circuit board 31 and the motor shell 21 are electrically connected through the ground pin 50 and the stator core 221. The motor shell 21 can be used to connect the external ground end, so that the static electricity and other electrical signals on the circuit board 31 can be introduced into the external ground end in turn through the ground pin 50, the stator core 221 and the motor shell 21.

[0038] Compared with the scheme of using conductive spring in the prior art, the ground pin 50 is used to connect between the ground end of the circuit board 31 and the stator core 221 in the embodiment of the present application, which ensures stable conduction between the two, and solves the problem that the conductive spring easily causes grounding failure.

[0039] In addition, it should also be noted that in the embodiment of the present application, the ground pin 50 and the stator core 221 are the only grounding path between the circuit board 31 and the motor shell 21. No additional connecting members such as conductive springs are arranged between the ground pin 50 and the motor shell 21.

[0040] As shown in Figure 2 and Figure 3 , when the pump is an electronic oil pump, the pump can further comprise an isolation seat 40 arranged between the motor shell 21 and the terminal box, separating the cavity inside the motor shell 21 and the cavity inside the terminal box, and the ground pin 50 is arranged in the isolation seat 40.

[0041] The isolation seat 40 can be made of an insulating material (plastic) for example. One or more sealing rings 41 can be provided on the outer periphery of the isolation seat 40 so as to seal the cavities of the motor housing 21 and the junction box when the isolation seat 40 is mounted to the motor housing 21 and the junction box.

[0042] When the isolation seat 40 is made of plastic for example, the isolation seat 40 can be integrally formed with the grounding pin 50. Specifically, the grounding pin 50 can be embedded in the isolation seat 40 as an insert. In this way, when the motor housing 21, the isolation seat 40 and the junction box are assembled, the connection between the circuit board 31 and the stator core 221 can be completed at the same time, and the assembly step of additionally mounting the grounding pin 50 is omitted. Compared with the conductive spring sheet in the prior art, not only the assembly efficiency is improved, but also the problem of missing the conductive spring sheet is prevented.

[0043] As shown in Figure 3 , one or more insertion holes 2211 are provided on the stator core 221, and the insertion holes 2211 are used to connect the grounding pin 50. For example, in Figure 3 , there are multiple insertion holes 2211, and the multiple insertion holes 2211 are arranged around the circumferential direction of the stator core 221.

[0044] In addition, as shown in Figure 3 , one or more grounding holes 311 are provided on the circuit board 31, and the grounding holes 311 are used to connect the grounding pin 50. For example, in Figure 3 , there are multiple grounding holes 311.

[0045] As shown in Figure 4 , one end (upper end) of the grounding pin 50 is inserted into the grounding hole 311 of the circuit board 31, and the other end (lower end) of the grounding pin 50 is inserted into the insertion hole 2211 of the stator core 221.

[0046] As shown in Figure 5 , the end of the grounding pin 50 is one or more fish-eye plugs 51. By providing the fish-eye plug 51, stable contact between the grounding pin 50 and the circuit board 31 and between the grounding pin 50 and the stator core 221 can be ensured.

[0047] As shown in Figure 3 , a plastic framework 222 is fixedly provided on the stator core 221 and at least partially covers one end of the stator core 221 facing the circuit board 31, and the plastic framework 222 is provided with a guide channel corresponding to the insertion hole 2211, and the grounding pin 50 is arranged in the guide channel.

[0048] The embodiment of the present application also relates to an electric vehicle (not shown). The electric vehicle comprises the pump and the electric drive system described above, the electric drive system comprises a grounding shell made of metal material, and the motor shell 21 is electrically connected to the grounding shell. For the pump, the grounding shell corresponds to an external grounding end, and when the motor shell 21 of the pump is connected to the grounding shell, the grounding of the circuit board 31 is realized.

[0049] Although the present application has been described in detail with general description, specific embodiments and experiments above, some modifications or improvements can be made on the basis of the present application, which is obvious to those skilled in the art. Therefore, these modifications or improvements made on the basis of not deviating from the spirit of the present application, all belong to the scope of the present application claimed.
