Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of automotive electric drive systems, and in particular to an electrical sealing structure for an electronic oil pump. Background Art

[0002] The electronic oil pump, together with structures such as the oil circuit, heat exchanger, and filter in the electric drive system, constitutes the cooling and lubrication system of the electric drive system. It receives signals from the superior system, provides lubricating oil with a certain flow rate and pressure, and feeds back its own status to the superior system.

[0003] The main structure of the electronic oil pump includes a controller, a permanent magnet motor, an inner rotor, an outer rotor, a rotor cavity, a motor cavity, a controller cavity, and a pump cover. Its working principle is that the controller energizes the permanent magnet motor to drive the inner rotor to rotate. The inner and outer rotors are eccentric, and several closed cavities are formed between them. The inner rotor drives the outer rotor to rotate in the same direction, realizing the rotation of the closed cavity and its volume change, thereby realizing oil pumping. The rotor cavity is divided into a low-pressure oil inlet area and a high-pressure oil outlet area. The oil is introduced into the motor cavity from the high-pressure oil outlet area and then flows back to the external oil circuit from the low-pressure oil inlet area, thereby realizing the cooling of the permanent magnet motor and the controller and ensuring that the electronic oil pump operates within a certain temperature range.

[0004] However, the permanent magnet motor is powered by 3 PINs (pins) passing through the motor cavity and the controller cavity. Since the controller generally cannot come into contact with the oil, sealing is required at the PINs. The common sealing method is to use a rubber ring for sealing, but this method has high requirements for the positional accuracy of the PINs. Otherwise, it will cause sealing failure and lead to damage to the controller. Summary of the Utility Model

[0005] Therefore, the utility model provides an electrical sealing structure for an electronic oil pump, which realizes the effective sealing of the pins (PINs) through the combined action of a guide sleeve and sealant, reduces the high requirements for the positional accuracy of the pins, and prevents oil leakage and sealing failure.

[0046] Refer to Figure 1 、 Figure 3 As shown, an electrical sealing structure for an electronic oil pump of the present utility model includes:

[0047] A housing 1, in which a rotor cavity 11, a motor cavity 12 and a control cavity 13 are sequentially arranged along the axial direction;

[0048] A rotor assembly 2, including an outer rotor 21 and an inner rotor 22 which are respectively installed in the rotor cavity 11 and cooperate with each other;

[0049] A permanent magnet motor 3 is installed inside the motor cavity 12, and its drive shaft 31 is connected to the inner rotor 22;

[0050] A controller 4 is installed inside the control cavity 13;

[0051] A guide sleeve 5 includes a guide through hole 51;

[0052] A separator 6 is arranged between the motor cavity 12 and the control cavity 13. The separator 6 is provided with an installation through hole 61 suitable for the guide sleeve 5 to extend into and be installed;

[0053] A pin 7 (PIN) is connected to the permanent magnet motor 3. The pin 7 extends into the guide through hole 51 and is led out from the installation through hole 61 into the control cavity 13; wherein, the area in the installation through hole 61 outside the guide sleeve 5 is filled with sealant.

[0054] It can be understood that the pin 7 connects the permanent magnet motor 3 and the controller 4 and serves to supply power to the permanent magnet motor 3. When the guide sleeve 5 is installed into the installation through hole 61, a remaining depth is reserved in the installation through hole 61 for filling the sealant.

[0055] By jointly using the guide sleeve 5 and the sealant to achieve the sealing of the pin 7 (PIN), the requirement for the positional tolerance of the PIN is effectively reduced. This design avoids the sealing failure caused by the positional deviation of the PIN, enhances the reliability of the sealing, and thus protects the controller 4 from oil damage.

[0056] In one embodiment, the guide sleeve 5 is installed on one side of the installation through hole 61 close to the motor cavity 12.

[0057] In one embodiment, referring to Figure 5 As shown, the guide sleeve 5 includes a baffle 52 and a guide sleeve body 53 extending from the baffle 52. After the guide sleeve 5 extends into the installation through hole 61, the baffle 52 abuts against the outer wall of the separator 6.

[0058] In one embodiment, referring to Figure 2 As shown, the guide through hole 51 gradually contracts in the direction away from the motor cavity 12. The guide sleeve 5 has a guiding function, enabling the pin 7 to be inserted smoothly, avoiding the deviation of the pin 7 during the installation process, and improving the installation accuracy and operation convenience.

[0059] Specifically, the cross-section of the guide through hole 51 is rectangular, the cross-section of the pin 7 is rectangular, and the minimum diameter of the guide through hole 51 is in interference fit with the pin 7.

[0060] In one embodiment, referring to Figure 5As shown, on the outer wall of the guide bushing body 53, there are axially arranged ribbed bars 54 extending to the baffle 52, and the ribbed bars 54 are in interference fit with the mounting through holes 61 (with clearance fit at other places). This not only enhances the fixing effect of the guide bushing 5 but also effectively prevents the leakage of oil along the gaps, further improving the sealing performance.

[0061] In one embodiment, the guide bushing 5 is made of an insulating material (such as plastic), ensuring electrical insulation between the pin 7 and the metal separator 6.

[0062] The separator 6 is made of a metal material (such as copper, stainless steel), which has good heat conduction performance. The metal separator 6 can conduct and dissipate heat more effectively, ensuring that the controller 4 maintains an appropriate temperature during operation, improving the overall heat dissipation performance and working efficiency of the system.

[0063] In one embodiment, referring to Figure 3 As shown, a front pump cover 14 and a rear pump cover 15 are respectively installed at both ends of the housing 1. A support body 16 is arranged inside the housing 1. A rotor cavity 11 is formed between the front pump cover 14 and the housing 1. A motor cavity 12 is formed between the support body 16 and the separator 6. The rear pump cover 15 is in positioning fit with the separator 6 and a control cavity 13 is formed between them.

[0064] The above settings form a compact and reasonable overall structure, which is convenient for installation and disassembly, improving the convenience of production and maintenance.

[0065] In one embodiment, in the middle of one end face of the separator 6, there is a shaft seat 17 for the driving shaft 31 to extend into, and the controller 4 is installed on the other end face of the separator 6.

[0066] During installation, first, the guide bushing 5 is installed into the mounting through holes 61. The remaining depth of the mounting through holes 61 is set according to the characteristics of the sealant. The pin 7 on the permanent magnet motor 3 is extended into the guiding through holes 51 and led out from the mounting through holes 61 into the control cavity 13 and connected to the controller 4. Sealant is applied to the space with the remaining depth of the mounting through holes 61 and cured, thus forming a complete sealing structure.

[0067] Finally, it should be noted that the above specific embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention rather than to limit them. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the examples, those of ordinary skill in the art should understand that the technical solutions of the present invention can be modified or equivalently replaced without departing from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of the present invention, and they should all be covered within the scope of the claims of the present invention.
