[0013] Attached Figure 1 It is a schematic diagram of the structure of the utility model. DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0014] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the utility model to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the utility model, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the utility model.
[0015] The utility model will be further described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings of the specification.
[0016] The utility model provides the following technical solutions:
[0017] As attached Figure 1As shown, the utility model discloses a novel brushless automotive electronic water pump, comprising a water pump housing 1 and a volute 2, an impeller 3 is arranged between the water pump housing 1 and the volute 2, the impeller 3 has magnetism, a stator installation cavity 4 is formed in the water pump housing 1, a stator winding 5 and a control board 6 are arranged in the stator installation cavity 4, an insert (not shown) is arranged between the stator winding 5 and the control board 6, the control board 6 drives the stator winding 5 through the insert, and the stator winding 5 receives a signal from the control board 6 through the insert to perform commutation work on the stator winding 5. Specifically, in this design, when the water pump is running, the coolant enters the volute 2 from the water inlet of the volute 2, and the power is turned on through the rear end cover. The current is guided to the control board 6 through the power harness 10 connected to the control board power connection unit 16. The chip in the control board 6 drives the stator winding 5 below to produce commutation, so that the impeller 3 can sense the magnetic field and rotate, so that the coolant forms an eddy current inside the volute 2, and the coolant is discharged more quickly through the water outlet of the volute 2, so as to achieve the effect of circulating the coolant in the automobile cooling water pipe, thereby cooling the related components. Compared with the prior art, this design eliminates the structure of the carbon brush in the water pump, reduces the weight of the water pump, the maintenance cost and the failure rate, and also improves the reliability and service life of the water pump. In addition, the brushless design also reduces the noise and vibration of the water pump during operation, providing the driver with a more comfortable and quiet driving environment.
[0018] Specifically, a chip (not shown) is installed in the control board 6. The chip generates specific electrical signals, which are transmitted to the stator winding 5 through the plug connection and control the flow of current therein. The current change in the stator winding 5 generates a magnetic field, which interacts with the magnetic field of the impeller 3 to cause the impeller 3 to rotate. In order to achieve continuous rotation, the current in the stator winding 5 needs to be commutated in a specific order and time interval, which is achieved by the control board 6 chip by precisely controlling the electrical signal.
[0019] Furthermore, the water pump housing 1 includes a first shell 7 and a second shell 8, wherein the second shell 8 is arranged at the bottom of the first shell 7, the volute 2 is connected to the first shell 7, the stator mounting cavity 4 and the stator winding 5 in the stator mounting cavity 4 are arranged inside the first shell 7, a rear cover plate 9 is arranged between the first shell 7 and the second shell 8, and the rear cover plate 9 blocks the first shell 7 and the second shell 8, and a power harness 10 is arranged in the second shell 8, and the power harness 10 passes through the rear cover plate 9 and is electrically connected to the control board 6.

In addition, the rear cover plate 9, as a barrier between the first shell 7 and the second shell 8, not only plays a role of fixing and protecting, but also effectively isolates the electrical components and the liquid flow area, thereby ensuring the safe operation of the water pump.
[0020] Furthermore, the first housing 7 protrudes toward the volute 2 to form an impeller positioning end 11, and an impeller positioning ring groove 12 is formed between the impeller positioning end 11 and the inner wall of the first housing 7. The first housing 7 is concave on the side close to the rear cover plate 9 corresponding to the impeller positioning end 11 to form a stator mounting groove, and the stator winding 5 is arranged in the stator mounting groove. Specifically, in this embodiment, the design of the impeller positioning end 11 and the impeller positioning ring groove 12 ensures the stable installation and positioning of the impeller 3 in the water pump housing 1, effectively prevents the impeller 3 from deflecting or shaking when running at high speed, and ensures the stability and reliability of the water pump. At the same time, the stator mounting groove formed by the concave not only optimizes the installation space of the stator winding 5, but also facilitates the maintenance and replacement of the stator winding 5, thereby improving the maintenance convenience of the water pump.
[0021] Furthermore, a pin assembly is arranged between the rear cover plate 9 and the control board 6, and the pin assembly includes a female plug 13 on the control board 6 and a male plug 14 on the rear cover plate 9, the female plug 13 is arranged in a columnar structure, a male plug socket (not shown) is provided on the female plug 13, and one end of the male plug 14 extends into the male plug socket to connect with the female plug 13. Specifically, in this embodiment, the design of the pin assembly makes the connection between the rear cover plate 9 and the control board 6 more firm and stable, and also improves the reliability of the connection. The columnar structure design of the female plug 13 increases the contact area, makes the current transmission more stable and efficient, and reduces the faults caused by poor contact. The opening of the male plug socket allows the male plug 14 to be easily inserted into the female plug 13, realizing a quick connection between the rear cover plate 9 and the control board 6. In addition, the disassembly and installation of the pin assembly are also very convenient, which is convenient for maintenance and replacement when necessary.
[0022] Furthermore, a control panel power connection unit 16 is further provided on the side of the rear cover plate 9 away from the control panel 6, and the control panel power connection unit 16 is electrically connected to the power harness 10. Specifically, in the present embodiment, the provision of the control panel power connection unit 16 makes the power supply access of the water pump more convenient and flexible. Through the control panel power connection unit 16, the power supply can be conveniently connected so that the water pump can start and run normally. At the same time, the electrical connection between the control panel power connection unit 16 and the power harness 10 ensures the stable transmission of current and provides reliable power guarantee for the normal operation of the water pump.
