[0002] The heat dissipation targets of oil-cooled motors are mainly the stator assembly and the rotor assembly. As the motor speed increases, the loss of the rotor assembly increases accordingly. At present, the cooling method of the rotor assembly is to pass oil through the inner cavity of the rotor shaft, and the oil is thrown through the oil-throwing holes of the bearing to cool the bearing chamber. The cooling oil in the oil cavity inside the shaft is thrown into the internal through-holes of the rotor core assembly through the rotating shaft to cool the rotor core assembly.

[0003] The structure adopted by this cooling method is: Figure 1 As shown in FIG. 1 , a balancing plate with a blade guide structure is provided on both sides of the rotor, and a hole is opened on the inlet side of the rotor shaft cavity. This structure will cause uneven distribution of oil in the rotor channel, and most of the oil will be thrown out from the oil throwing hole of the bearing on one side, such as Figure 2-3 As shown; at the same time, the blade guide ventilation structure of the balance plates on both sides of the rotor cannot take away the oil inside the rotor channel, and the airflow has reflux inside the rotor, such as Figure 4 As shown, this results in low heat dissipation efficiency of the rotor; in addition, the balance plate structure on both sides of the rotor increases the risk of oil entering the air gap.
