Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of electronic oil pump technology, and more specifically to an electronic oil pump assembly. Background Technology

[0002] As an upgraded replacement for traditional mechanical oil pumps, electronic oil pumps have gradually become more widespread in the automotive, industrial machinery, and new energy sectors in recent years. Their core advantage lies in achieving precise regulation of flow and pressure through electric drive and intelligent control. Electronic oil pumps use a drive motor to rotate the pump rotor, thus outputting oil at a specific pressure and flow rate. Currently, electronic oil pumps are generally composed of a pump cover, an outer pump rotor, an inner pump rotor, a motor housing, a motor assembly, a controller, and a motor controller cover.

[0003] Existing electronic oil pump solution 1: The motor housing is made of aluminum alloy, resulting in a heavier overall weight and higher cost. The motor stator is grounded through the motor housing, and the motor controller is grounded via a grounding spring from the controller to the aluminum alloy controller cover, and then to the motor housing. Existing electronic oil pump solution 2: The motor housing is made of injection-molded material, resulting in a lighter overall weight and lower cost. However, the precision at the connection between the motor housing and the pump rotor is reduced, leading to a decrease in the pump's volumetric efficiency. The motor stator is grounded via a metal bushing connected to screw holes on the motor housing, posing a risk of oil leakage in this grounding path. Summary of the Invention

[0017] The grounding position of the motor controller is connected to the motor stator through the connection terminal.

[0018] The motor stator is connected to the motor housing insert via a grounding terminal.

[0019] The motor housing insert is connected to the electronic oil pump mounting body via a grounding spring, thereby grounding the motor stator and motor controller.
