If the combination of technical solutions is contradictory or cannot be implemented, it should be considered that such combination of technical solutions does not exist and is not within the scope of protection claimed by the present invention.

[0035] The specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative examples of the present invention. Those skilled in the art to which this invention pertains may make various modifications or additions to the described specific embodiments or adopt similar methods to replace them, but without departing from the present invention or exceeding the scope defined by the appended claims.

[0036] like Figures 1-4 As shown, a test fixture for an electric motor oil pump includes: a front fixture 1, a rear fixture 2, and a mechanical pump 3.

[0037] The front tooling 1 is provided with an oil pump station 11, a clutch station 12 and an oil pump outlet 13. The oil pump station 11 is used to place the oil pump motor and the clutch station 12 is used to place the clutch motor.

[0038] The rear tooling 2 is arranged opposite to the front tooling 1, and the rear tooling 2 is provided with an oil inlet 21 and a clutch oil outlet 22.

[0039] The mechanical pump 3 is located between the front tooling 1 and the rear tooling 2. The mechanical pump 3 is equipped with an oil pump booster assembly 31, a clutch booster assembly 32 and an oil suction port 33. The oil suction port 33 is connected to the oil inlet 21. The oil pump outlet 13 is connected to the oil suction port 33 through the oil pump booster assembly 31. The clutch outlet 22 is connected to the oil suction port 33 through the clutch booster assembly 32.

[0040] After the oil pump motor is placed at the oil pump station 11, the output shaft of the oil pump motor is connected to the oil pump booster assembly 31. After the clutch motor is placed at the clutch station 12, the output shaft of the clutch motor is connected to the clutch booster assembly 32.

[0041] Specifically, after the oil pump motor and clutch motor are installed on the front fixture 1, the output shaft of the oil pump motor drives the oil pump booster assembly 31, and the output shaft of the clutch motor drives the clutch booster assembly 32 to make the lubricating oil be drawn in from the oil suction port 33 and discharged from the oil pump outlet 13 and the clutch outlet 22. This is used to simulate the oil pump motor lubricating the transmission or gearbox and driving the clutch to discharge oil when the vehicle is working.

[0042] In this embodiment, the entire testing fixture can reproduce the actual working process of the oil pump motor and clutch motor under real vehicle conditions, thereby conducting fatigue tests on the oil pump motor and clutch motor. Compared with the traditional testing using a gearbox or reducer, this testing fixture is small in size and can perform simultaneous testing at more stations in a limited space.

[0043] like Figures 1-4 As shown, based on the above embodiment, the mechanical pump 3 is provided with an oil inlet chamber 34, an oil pump outlet chamber 35, and a clutch outlet chamber 36. The oil inlet chamber 34 is connected to the oil suction port 33, the oil pump outlet chamber 35 is connected to the oil pump outlet 13, and the clutch outlet chamber 36 is connected to the clutch outlet 22.

[0044] Specifically, the mechanical pump 3 is equipped with an independent yet coordinated hydraulic flow channel system. The oil inlet chamber 34 can maintain a stable liquid level and pressure during the oil suction process, avoiding cavitation or dry suction due to a sudden increase in suction flow. The oil pump outlet chamber 35 and the clutch outlet chamber 36 briefly accumulate and equalize the pressure of the high-pressure oil, ensuring a stable flow of lubricating oil output from the oil pump outlet 13 and the clutch outlet 22.

[0045] In this embodiment, the oil inlet chamber 34, the oil pump outlet chamber 35, and the clutch outlet chamber 36 not only serve as channels for the flow of lubricating oil, but also have a certain volume capacity in their structural design. This provides sufficient temporary storage and buffer space for lubricating oil, effectively alleviating insufficient oil supply or pressure fluctuations caused by a sudden increase in demand, thereby ensuring that the entire hydraulic system achieves continuous, stable, and uniform lubricating oil supply and discharge during the test cycle.

[0046] like Figures 1-4 As shown, based on the above embodiment, the oil pump booster assembly 31 includes an oil pump booster inner rotor 311 and an oil pump booster ring 312. The oil pump booster inner rotor 311 meshes with the oil pump booster ring 312, and the oil pump booster inner rotor 311 is used to connect to the output shaft of the oil pump motor.

[0047] Specifically, the inner rotor 311 of the oil pump booster meshes with the output shaft of the oil pump motor. The inner rotor 311 of the oil pump booster has an external gear structure, and the oil pump booster ring 312 is sleeved on the outer circumference of the inner rotor 311 of the oil pump booster. It has an internal gear ring structure. The rotational power of the output shaft of the oil pump motor is transmitted to the oil pump booster ring 312 through the inner rotor 311 of the oil pump booster.

[0048] In this embodiment, the lubricating oil in the oil inlet chamber 34 is compressed by the oil pump booster inner rotor 311 and the oil pump booster ring 312 and then discharged into the oil pump outlet chamber 35. This realistically simulates the oil supply behavior of the oil pump motor driven gear pair to the lubrication system during vehicle operation, providing a highly realistic working environment for testing and ensuring that the test results have practical engineering application value.

[0049] like Figures 1-4 As shown, based on the above embodiment, the clutch booster assembly 32 includes a clutch booster inner rotor 321 and a clutch booster ring 322. The clutch booster inner rotor 321 meshes with the clutch booster ring 322, and the clutch booster inner rotor 321 is used to connect to the output shaft of the clutch motor.

[0050] Specifically, the clutch booster inner rotor 321 meshes with the output shaft of the clutch motor. The clutch booster inner rotor 321 has an external gear structure, and the clutch booster ring 322 is sleeved on the outer circumference of the clutch booster inner rotor 321 and has an internal gear ring structure. The rotational power of the output shaft of the clutch motor is transmitted to the clutch booster ring 322 through the clutch booster inner rotor 321.

[0051] In this embodiment, the lubricating oil in the oil inlet chamber 34 is compressed by the clutch booster inner rotor 321 and the clutch booster ring 322 and then discharged into the clutch outlet chamber 36. This realistically simulates the oil supply behavior of the clutch motor-driven gear pair to the lubrication system during vehicle operation, providing a highly realistic working environment for testing and ensuring that the test results have practical engineering application value.

[0052] like Figures 1-4 As shown, based on the above embodiment, an oil pump outlet regulating component (not shown in the figure) is also included. The oil pump outlet regulating component is disposed at the oil pump outlet 13 and is used to regulate the oil pressure or flow rate of the oil pump outlet 13.

[0053] In this embodiment, the oil pump outlet regulating component dynamically adjusts the flow resistance of the oil by changing its internal flow cross-sectional area. Through the flexible adjustment function of the oil pump outlet regulating component, a high degree of reproduction of the complex working conditions of the real vehicle is achieved.

[0054] like Figures 1-4 As shown, based on the above embodiment, a clutch oil outlet regulating component (not shown in the figure) is also included. The clutch oil outlet regulating component is disposed at the clutch oil outlet 22 and is used to regulate the oil pressure or flow rate of the clutch oil outlet 22.

[0055] In this embodiment, the clutch oil outlet regulating component dynamically adjusts the flow resistance of the oil by changing its internal flow cross-sectional area. Through the flexible adjustment function of the clutch oil outlet regulating component, a high degree of reproduction of the complex working conditions of the real vehicle is achieved.

[0056] like Figures 1-4 As shown, based on the above embodiment, it also includes an oil tank 4, which is provided with a receiving cavity 41, in which the front tooling 1, the rear tooling 2 and the mechanical pump 3 are all accommodated.

[0057] Specifically, the receiving cavity 41 stores an appropriate amount of special lubricating oil. When the oil pump motor starts and drives the mechanical pump 3 to work, the lubricating oil is drawn into the oil inlet cavity 34 from the receiving cavity 41 through the oil inlet 21. Then, it enters the oil pump booster assembly 31 and the clutch booster assembly 32 for pressurization. The pressurized oil is discharged from the oil pump outlet 13 and the clutch outlet 22 into the receiving cavity 41, completing one complete oil cycle.

[0058] In this embodiment, the oil tank 4 not only serves as a storage container for lubricating oil, but also constructs a closed, controllable, and repeatable hydraulic circulation system. The circulating oil enables the entire test system to undergo long-term, stable, and efficient repeated verification under conditions close to the actual vehicle operating environment.

[0059] like Figures 1-4 As shown, based on the above embodiment, it also includes a base 5, which is disposed in the receiving cavity 41. The front tooling 1, the rear tooling 2, and the mechanical pump 3 are all placed on the base 5. The base 5 is provided with a bottom oil port 51, and the oil inlet 21 is aligned with the bottom oil port 51.

[0060] Specifically, the base 5 serves as the basic support structure for the entire testing device, thereby lifting the front tooling 1, the rear tooling 2, and the mechanical pump 3 as a whole above the oil surface in the receiving cavity 41, ensuring that its main structure does not directly contact the lubricating oil at the bottom of the receiving cavity 41.

[0061] In this embodiment, lifting the front tooling 1, the rear tooling 2, and the mechanical pump 3 can keep the external structure of the front tooling 1, the rear tooling 2, and the mechanical pump 3 clean and dry, which facilitates daily observation, maintenance, disassembly and replacement, reduces operational difficulties and pollution spread caused by oil accumulation, and extends the service life of key components.

[0062] like Figures 1-4 As shown, based on the above embodiment, the front tooling 1 is also provided with a mounting hole 14 and a fixing member (not shown in the figure). The fixing member is used to pass through the through holes on the oil pump motor and the clutch motor and then connect to the mounting hole 14.

[0063] In this embodiment, the fixing component is a screw, and the mounting hole 14 is a threaded hole. The fixing bracket passes through the through holes on the oil pump motor and the clutch motor and then is threadedly connected to the mounting hole 14, which ensures that the oil pump motor and the clutch motor are in a stable position and facilitates disassembly.

[0064] like Figures 1-4 As shown, based on the above embodiment, it also includes a mounting component 6. The front tooling 1 is also provided with a first mounting part 15, the rear tooling 2 is provided with a second mounting part 23, the mechanical pump 3 is provided with a mounting through hole 37, and the mounting component 6 passes through the second mounting part 23 and the mounting through hole 37 in sequence to connect with the first mounting part 15.

[0065] Specifically, the mounting part 6 is a screw, and the first mounting part 15 is a threaded hole. During assembly, the mounting part 6 passes through the second mounting part 23 and the mounting through hole 37 in sequence and is screwed into the first mounting part 15 to achieve a firm fixation of the mechanical pump 3.

[0066] In this embodiment, the fixing structure ensures that the mechanical pump 3 is accurately positioned and firmly connected during operation, effectively preventing vibration and loosening. At the same time, the mechanical pump 3 can be quickly removed by simply unscrewing the screws, which greatly facilitates daily maintenance, fault diagnosis or replacement of the entire pump.
