Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of electronic water pumps and parts thereof, in particular to a pump cover structure and an electronic water pump using the same. Background Art

[0002] New energy vehicles usually have two or more electronic water pumps. The electronic water pump is the power source for the entire cooling system of new energy vehicles. The power batteries, drive motors, etc. of new energy vehicles all need to rely on electronic water pumps to drive the coolant for circulation cooling.

[0003] The electronic water pump in the prior art generally includes a pump cover, a pump casing, a shaft core, a rotor assembly and a stator assembly; the pump cover and the pump casing are combined and fixed to each other to form a chamber, the two ends of the shaft core are respectively fixed on the pump cover and the pump casing, the rotor assembly is supported in the chamber between the pump cover and the pump casing by the shaft core, the stator assembly is arranged outside the chamber, and can magnetically couple and drive the rotor assembly to rotate in the chamber between the pump cover and the pump casing, thereby driving the water flow through the impeller on the rotor assembly to make the water flow flow in a directional manner.

[0004] When the electronic water pump of the above structure is working, the high-speed operation of its rotor assembly will cause the pressure at the impeller to decrease, resulting in a pressure difference on both sides of the rotor assembly. At this time, the rotor assembly will move toward the pump cover, causing friction between the rotor assembly and the pump cover. Since the pump cover is an integrally formed workpiece, the friction between the rotor assembly and the pump cover can easily reduce the service life of the electronic water pump.

[0005] At present, it is generally necessary to install a thrust washer on the pump cover to prevent the rotor assembly from directly contacting and rubbing with the pump cover, thereby increasing the service life of the electronic water pump; however, the thrust washer in the prior art is usually made of metal or ceramic material, which has the following disadvantages:

[0006] 1. The thrust washers made of metal materials such as stainless steel have large cutting sizes, low material utilization, and high parts costs. In addition, the thrust washers need to be precisely positioned when installed on the pump cover, resulting in low installation efficiency and the risk of falling off after installation;

[0007] 2. The Chinese utility model patent announcement with publication number CN214742124U and titled "A thrust washer positioning mechanism for an electronic water pump" discloses a typical structure of a thrust washer made of ceramic material applied to an electronic water pump. However, although this structure can improve installation efficiency and reduce the risk of thrust washers falling off, the thrust washer made of ceramic material itself is expensive, and during assembly, the thrust washer needs to be interference fit with the mounting structure on the pump cover, or the thrust washer needs to be installed by in-mold injection molding. Both assembly methods will squeeze the thrust washer, which can easily damage the thrust washer itself.

[0008] In summary, how to provide a reasonable thrust washer and its mounting structure for the electronic water pump to increase the service life of the electronic water pump and reduce the cost and assembly difficulty of the electronic water pump has become an urgent problem to be solved.

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.

[0031] This embodiment provides a pump cover structure, which is applied to an electronic water pump.

[0033] The pump cover 1 is an integrally formed cover body made of engineering plastic material.

[0034] The pump cover 1 is formed with a water inlet 12 and a water outlet 13 penetrating through both sides thereof. In fact, the water inlet 12 and the water outlet 13 are both short hard tubes integrally formed on the pump cover 1 .

[0035] A thrust washer mounting seat structure 11 is provided on the inner side of the pump cover 1, and the thrust washer mounting seat structure 11 includes a connecting beam 111 and a support seat 112, one end of the connecting beam 111 is connected to the inner side of the pump cover 1, and the other end of the connecting beam 111 is connected to the support seat 112 to support the support seat 112 on the inner side of the pump cover 1; specifically, the connecting beam 111 and the support seat 112 are both structures integrally formed on the pump cover 1, wherein the connecting beam 111 is columnar, and the support seat 112 is a seat body with an axial hole.

[0036] The thrust washer 2 includes a main annular portion 21 and a plurality of buckle portions 22 integrally formed on the main annular portion 21 .

[0042] See also Figure 4 The buckle part 22 of the thrust washer 2 includes a first buckle strip 221 and a second buckle strip 222; one end of the first buckle strip 221 is connected to the main ring part 21, and the other end of the first buckle strip 221 is connected to the second buckle strip 222; the first buckle strip 221 extends from the main ring part 21 in an axial direction away from the main ring part 21, and the second buckle strip 222 folds back from the position where it is connected to the first buckle strip 221 and extends in a direction close to the main ring part 21; in this way, the buckle part 22 forms a "V"-shaped structure.

[0043] It should be noted that the thrust washer 2 is a thin plate made of metal material through a stamping process, that is, the first snap strip 221 and the second snap strip 222 of the snap part 22 are both formed by bending a stamping die, and the inner hole of the main annular part 21 is formed by a punching process.

[0048] The rotor assembly 3 includes a rotor support 31, a sleeve 32, a magnetic ring 33 and an impeller 34; wherein the rotor support 31 is an integral injection-molded annular support for providing an overall support base for the rotor assembly 3; the impeller 34 is an integral injection-molded engineering plastic component with a plurality of blades thereon; the magnetic ring 33 is a magnetic metal ring body that can be magnetically coupled with the stator assembly 52 to drive the rotor assembly 3 to rotate; the sleeve 32 is an integrally molded annular workpiece of graphite material / ceramic material, which has a self-lubricating function; the sleeve 32 is inserted into the rotor support 31, and the magnetic ring 33 is sleeved outside the rotor support 31. In fact, the sleeve 32 and the magnetic ring 33 are respectively placed in the mold of the rotor support 31, and the rotor support 31 is molded by integral injection molding. After the rotor support 31 is molded, it is combined with the sleeve 32 and the magnetic ring 33 as a whole; the impeller 34 is fixed on the rotor support 31. In this embodiment, the blades of the impeller 34 are fixed on the mounting table of the rotor support 31 by ultrasonic welding.

[0049] After the pump cover 1 and the pump chamber structure shell 4 are fixedly combined with each other, a pump chamber structure 10 is formed. Specifically, the pump chamber structure shell 4 and the pump cover 1 are combined into one by screws or snaps, and are sealed by a sealing ring, so that the inner cavity of the pump chamber structure shell 4 and the inner cavity of the pump cover 1 are enclosed to form the pump chamber structure 10.

[0050] One end of the shaft core 8 is fixedly matched with the pump chamber structure shell 4, and the other end of the shaft core 8 is fixedly matched with the pump cover 1 to support the shaft core 8 in the pump chamber structure 10; wherein the pump chamber structure shell 4 is manufactured by one-piece injection molding, and one end of the shaft core 8 is buried in the bottom plate 41 of the pump chamber structure shell 4 by one-piece injection molding, thereby achieving fixed matching with the pump chamber structure shell 4; the other end of the shaft core 8 is inserted into the thrust washer 2 and the support seat 112 of the thrust washer mounting seat structure 11 in turn, and is interference fit or key fit with the axial hole of the support seat 112.

[0051] The shaft sleeve 32 of the rotor assembly 3 is sleeved on the shaft core 8 and rotatably cooperates with the shaft core 8 , that is, the rotor assembly 3 uses its shaft sleeve 32 as a bearing and the shaft core 8 as a fixed shaft to rotate in the pump chamber structure 10 .

[0052] The stator-pump casing assembly 5 includes a pump casing 51 and a stator assembly 52, wherein the stator assembly 52 includes a stator core, an enameled wire coil wound on the stator core and distributed circumferentially, and a terminal plugged and fixed on the stator core and electrically connected to the end of the enameled wire coil; the pump casing 51 is formed outside the stator assembly 52 in a covering molding manner, so that the stator assembly 52 is buried in the pump casing 51. When the stator-pump casing assembly 5 is manufactured, the stator assembly 52 is placed as a whole in the molding of the pump casing 51. The pump housing 51 is formed by injecting plastic into the mold, and then the plastic is solidified to form the pump housing 51. At this time, the stator assembly 52 and the pump housing 51 are formed as a whole to form a stator-pump housing assembly 5. The pump cover 1, the pump chamber structure shell 4 and the pump housing 51 of the stator-pump housing assembly 5 are fixed in sequence along the axial direction (specifically, fixed by screws), so that the stator assembly 52 of the stator-pump housing assembly 5 and the magnetic ring 33 of the rotor assembly 3 are aligned with each other in the radial direction. At this time, the magnetic ring 33 of the rotor assembly 3 is positioned The pump housing 51 is provided with a sealing ring, and the pump housing 51 is provided with a sealing ring. The sealing ring is provided between the pump housing 4 and the stator-pump housing assembly 5 to strengthen the sealing degree inside the stator-pump housing assembly 5. The driving circuit board 6 is accommodated and fixed in the pump housing 51 (specifically fixed by screws). The rear end cover 7 is fixed at one end of the pump housing 51 and covers the opening of the pump housing 51 (specifically fixed by screws). The rear end cover 7 is fixed at one end of the pump housing 51 and covers the opening of the pump housing 51 (specifically fixed by screws). The sealing ring is provided between the rear end cover 7 and the stator-pump housing assembly 5 to strengthen the sealing degree inside the stator-pump housing assembly 5. The driving circuit board 6 is electrically connected to the stator component 52 of the stator-pump housing assembly 5, so that the stator component 52 can magnetically couple and drive the rotor component 3 to rotate in the pump chamber structure 10 with the shaft core 8 as the axis. Specifically, the terminal of the stator component 52 is exposed to the pump housing 51 (but located in the inner space of the pump housing 51) and is welded to the driving circuit board 6, thereby realizing the electrical connection between the driving circuit board 6 and the stator component 52, so that the driving circuit board 6 can drive the stator component 52 to operate.

[0053] When the electronic water pump of this embodiment is in use, the driving circuit board 6 is energized, and the coil of the stator assembly 52 is energized through the terminal, so that a rotating magnetic field is formed in the space of the inner ring of the stator assembly 52, thereby driving the entire rotor assembly 3 to rotate in the pump chamber structure 10 through magnetic coupling with the magnetic ring 33 of the rotor assembly 3; the rotating impeller 34 can drive the liquid to flow along its blades, and the water flows into the pump cover 1 from the water inlet 12 and flows toward the water outlet 13, thereby realizing the basic function of the electronic water pump; in the above process, the rotor assembly 3 will inevitably have axial movement when rotating. At this time, at least a part of the rotor assembly 3 (the end face of the shaft sleeve 32 in this embodiment) is in contact with the thrust washer 2, thereby avoiding direct friction between the rotor assembly 3 and the pump cover 1, thereby improving the service life of the pump cover 1.
