Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of vehicle-mounted water pumps, in particular to an oil-cooled water pump housing structure. Background Art
[0002] With the development of the economy, the automotive industry has developed rapidly. To ensure the stable operation of the automotive powertrain, a perfect actuator needs to be equipped. Therefore, various actuators with motors are widely used in the automotive powertrain, including hydraulic actuators, shift actuators, brake boosters, etc.
[0003] To ensure the cooling of the engine, a water pump is required to provide power for the coolant circulation. The water pump itself is powered by an internal motor. With the increasing development of the automotive powertrain, the heat dissipation requirements for the water pump are getting higher and higher. In a limited volume, it is necessary to increase the power as much as possible. The increase in power will also cause a significant increase in the heat generation of the water pump. The increase in heat generation will lead to a decrease in the efficiency of the water pump, and long-term high-temperature operation will also affect the service life of the water pump. Therefore, there is a need for improvement. Summary of the Utility Model
[0004] The utility model provides an oil-cooled water pump housing structure that is easy to process and manufacture, has high cooling efficiency, can cool both the motor inside the water pump and the controller PCBA inside the water pump, has good heat dissipation effect, and ensures the stable operation of the water pump; it solves the technical problems existing in the prior art that the current water pump cooling structure is relatively single, the cooling efficiency of the water pump is low, the working efficiency of the water pump is low, and the working life of the water pump is greatly reduced.
[0005] The above technical problems of the utility model are solved by the following technical solutions: an oil-cooled water pump housing structure includes a horizontally installed water pump housing. The water pump housing includes a motor housing and a controller housing. A motor cavity is opened in the motor housing, and a controller cavity is opened in the controller housing. A cooling cavity surrounding the motor is opened in the motor housing. An oil inlet pipe communicating with the cooling cavity is provided on the outer wall of the motor housing, and an oil outlet pipe communicating with the internal motor cavity is provided on the outer wall of the controller housing. An oil guiding hole is opened on the partition between the cooling cavity and the controller cavity. The oil enters the cooling cavity through the oil inlet pipe to cool and lower the temperature of the motor, and the oil enters the controller cavity through the oil guiding hole to cool and lower the temperature of the controller. Finally, the oil flows out through the oil outlet pipe. The cooling cavity in the utility model is integrally formed with the motor housing to ensure the sealing performance of the cooling cavity. During installation, the oil inlet pipe and the oil outlet pipe are connected to the vehicle-mounted oil cooling pipeline. The oil enters the cooling cavity through the oil inlet pipe to cool and lower the temperature of the motor stator, and then the oil enters the cooling cavity to cool and lower the temperature of the motor. The oil fills the controller cavity, and finally the oil flows out through the oil outlet pipe to complete the circulation of the oil and the cooling of the water pump.
[0006] Preferably, the cooling cavity is an annular cavity, and the cooling cavity is not connected to the motor cavity. In the present utility model, the cooling cavity is integrally formed with the motor housing to ensure the sealing performance of the cooling cavity.

[0007] Preferably, the oil inlet pipe and the oil outlet pipe are located on the same side, and the oil inlet pipe and the oil outlet pipe are arranged on one side of the top of the water pump housing. The oil inlet pipe and the oil outlet pipe being located on the same side enables the oil to complete cooling through circulation, and can better cool down the motor and the controller PCBA.
[0008] Preferably, the oil guiding hole is opened on the side opposite to the oil inlet pipe and the oil outlet pipe, that is, the oil guiding hole is installed at the bottom of the water pump housing. In the present utility model, the oil guiding hole is installed at the bottom of the water pump housing, so that the cooled oil will gradually fill the cooling cavity and the controller cavity, and finally flow out through the oil outlet pipe, which can better cool down the motor and the controller PCBA.
[0009] Preferably, the oil guiding holes are arranged in 2 symmetrically set groups. The 2 groups of oil guiding holes are adjacent and spaced apart, which can increase the oil flow rate and ensure the cooling efficiency.
[0010] Preferably, the oil inlet pipe and the oil outlet pipe are connected to the vehicle-mounted oil cooling pipeline. In the present utility model, the oil inlet pipe and the oil outlet pipe are connected to the vehicle's overall oil cooling pipeline, and the oil circulation does not require its own power supply, with high efficiency and low energy consumption.
[0011] Therefore, a water pump housing structure with oil cooling of the present utility model has the following advantages: being easy to process and manufacture, having high cooling efficiency, being able to cool the motor inside the water pump and also being able to cool down the controller PCBA inside the water pump, having good heat dissipation effect, ensuring the stable operation of the water pump, and increasing the working life of the water pump.
