[0003] In the transmission structure of the vehicle, the bearings are cooled by the oil in the transmission cavity. Sometimes the bearing lubrication system in the transmission cavity is complicated, and it is difficult for the bearing to achieve the required cooling flow. The common method is to add an oil guide groove to the bearing housing to guide the oil thrown over by the gear operation into the bearing, or to design an oil injection pipe to lead a branch of the lubricating oil from the oil pump to the oil injection pipe, and then the oil injection pipe is divided into small nozzles, which are aimed at the small opening reserved for the bearing position on the housing to cool the bearing position through the sprayed oil. Although such a design can achieve some cooling effect, when the bearing position needs greater cooling, it cannot meet the use requirements, resulting in insufficient lubrication causing continuous heating of the bearing, corrosion, melting of the cage, and even transmission failure.

[0043] The present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and in combination with embodiments.
[0044] Embodiment 1
[0045] This embodiment relates to an end cover for a transmission assembly housing, which can improve the heat exchange effect of the bearing through structural optimization.
[0046] In terms of overall composition, see Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the end cover for the transmission assembly housing of this embodiment includes an end cover body 1, and a bearing mounting portion for mounting a bearing 20 is provided on the side of the end cover body 1 facing the inner cavity of the transmission assembly housing. A first heat exchange cavity 114 close to the bearing mounting portion is provided in the end cover body 1, and the heat exchange fluid flowing through the first heat exchange cavity 114 can exchange heat with the bearing 20 through the end cover body 1.
[0047] At this time, in the above structure, a bearing mounting portion for mounting the bearing 20 is provided on one side of the end cover body 1, and a first heat exchange chamber 114 is arranged adjacent to the bearing mounting portion, so that the heat exchange fluid flowing through the first heat exchange chamber 114 can perform external heat exchange on the bearing 20 through the end cover body 1, thereby improving the heat exchange effect of the bearing 20 and ensuring that the bearing 20 is in suitable working conditions.
[0048] It should be noted that the end cover body 1 is used to block the opening of the inner cavity of the transmission component housing, wherein the inner cavity of the transmission component housing is provided with transmission components such as a transmission shaft, a transmission gear and a bearing 20, wherein the bearing 20 is installed at the end of the transmission shaft. In addition, the transmission component housing may be, for example, a transmission housing, a motor housing or other housing equipped with a transmission shaft. The first heat exchange chamber 114 is arranged adjacent to the bearing mounting portion. At this time, the heat exchange fluid flowing through the first heat exchange chamber 114 can timely exchange heat with the bearing mounting portion, that is, can timely exchange heat with the bearing 20.
[0049] Moreover, the bearing mounting portion is separated from the first heat exchange chamber 114, which is also conducive to the heat exchange of the bearing 20 through the circulation of the external heat exchange fluid in the first heat exchange chamber 114. Compared with using the cooling medium in the inner cavity of the transmission component housing, this method can better improve the heat exchange effect of the bearing 20.
[0050] In addition, it should also be pointed out that the heat exchange fluid flowing through the first heat exchange cavity 114 can be oil, water or gas, etc., and the heat transfer between the heat exchange fluid and the end cover body 1 can heat or cool the bearing 20. In this embodiment, as a preference, the heat exchange fluid is cooling water, and the cooling of the bearing 20 is described in detail by taking it as an example.
[0051] For more details, see 1 to Figure 3 , and combined with Figure 4 As shown, in this embodiment, the bearing mounting portion includes a bearing chamber 100, and the bearing chamber 100 is arranged in a plurality of intervals on the end cover body 1, and the heat exchange fluid flowing through the first heat exchange cavity 114 can exchange heat for the bearing 20 in each bearing chamber 100 through the end cover body 1. At this time, the bearing mounting portion adopts the bearing chamber 100, and the bearing chamber 100 is arranged in a plurality of intervals on the end cover body 1, and the heat exchange fluid flowing through the first heat exchange cavity 114 can exchange heat for the bearing 20 in each bearing chamber 100 through the end cover body 1.
[0052] As a preferred embodiment, in this embodiment, a portion of the end cover body 1 is arched along the direction of the inner cavity of the transmission component housing toward the first heat exchange cavity 114, and the bearing chamber 100 is formed on the side facing the inner cavity of the transmission component housing. In this way, the bearing chamber 100 is formed by using a portion of the end cover body 1, which can facilitate the processing and preparation of the bearing chamber 100 and also facilitate the preparation and molding of the end cover body 1.
[0053] In specific implementation, the multiple bearing chambers 100 formed on one side of the end cover body 1 all extend toward the first heat exchange chamber 114, and the outer side of each bearing chamber 100, that is, the side away from the inner cavity of the transmission component housing, constitutes a part of the side wall of the first heat exchange chamber 114, so that the contact area between each bearing chamber 100 and the heat exchange fluid flowing through the first heat exchange chamber 114 can be increased, and the outer side of each bearing chamber 100 can be fully heat exchanged, that is, each bearing 20 can be fully heat exchanged. And when the heat exchange fluid is cooling water, it can fully cool each bearing 20 and improve the cooling effect of the bearing 20.
[0054] It should be noted that, in addition to adopting the structural form of the bearing chamber 100, the bearing mounting portion can also be set to the following structure, that is, a part of the end cover body 1 is arched in the direction pointing to the inner cavity of the transmission component shell to form a hollow shaft. At this time, a recessed portion is formed on the side facing the first heat exchange cavity 114. When in use, the bearing is sleeved on the hollow shaft, and the end of the transmission shaft is sleeved on the outer ring of the bearing through a structure similar to a sleeve. This is also possible.

At this time, the plurality of cavities separated by the partition plate correspond to the plurality of bearing chambers in a one-to-one correspondence, which can further improve the heat exchange effect of each bearing chamber 100.
[0056] The above-mentioned sub-cavities can be connected or independently arranged.

[0057] Based on the arrangement of multiple partition plates and multiple sub-cavities, in this embodiment, as a further preferred implementation, the connecting portions 1140 on adjacent partition plates are arranged alternately along the flow direction of the heat exchange fluid. This can extend the flow path of the heat exchange fluid and further improve the heat exchange effect of the bearing 20.
