[0045] Below, reference is made to Figures 1 - 12 Describe the motor assembly 100 according to an embodiment of the present utility model. The motor assembly 100 is made of a resin material, so that when the armature structure 2 is assembled with the motor housing 1, the requirements for electrical safety distances do not need to be considered, which is beneficial to reducing the structural size of the motor housing 1, reducing the axial dimension of the motor assembly 100, and the cooling medium flowing in the housing flow channel and the first axial flow channel 24 can dissipate heat from the armature structure 2, which is beneficial to reducing the operating stability of the armature structure 2 and improving the safety of the motor assembly 100.

[0046] As Figures 1 - 12 shown, a motor assembly 100 according to an embodiment of the present utility model includes a motor housing 1 and an armature structure 2.

[0047] As Figure 1As shown, a receiving cavity 111 is formed inside the motor housing 1, and the armature structure 2 is installed in the receiving cavity 111. Among them, the armature structure 2 is configured as the stator part of the motor assembly 100. The armature structure 2 can be relatively fixed to the motor housing 1, and the motor assembly 100 further includes a rotor part. The rotor part is rotationally fitted relative to the armature structure 2. For example, the rotor part is installed inside the armature structure 2 to form an inner rotor motor, or the rotor part is installed outside the armature structure 2 to form an outer rotor motor, and the setting method is flexibly selectable. Specifically, in actual design, the rotor part is connected with a rotor shaft. A bearing chamber for the rotor shaft can be provided at the end of the motor housing 1, and a bearing member is arranged in the bearing chamber to support the rotor shaft, so that the rotor part can drive the rotor shaft to rotate for power output and realize the electric drive function.

[0048] Among them, the motor housing 1 is formed with a housing flow channel for dissipating heat from the armature structure 2. The peripheral wall of the motor housing 1 can be set as a hollow wall to form a housing flow channel inside the peripheral wall of the motor housing 1, or the end wall of the motor housing 1 can be set as a hollow wall to form a housing flow channel inside the end wall of the motor housing 1, or both are set as hollow walls at the same time to increase the flow rate of the cooling medium in the housing flow channel, realize the cooling design from the end or the radial outside of the armature structure 2, and improve the cooling effect of the housing flow channel on the armature structure 2. And, a first axial flow channel 24 is formed inside the armature structure 2. The first axial flow channel 24 extends along the axial direction of the armature structure 2, and the first axial flow channel 24 communicates with the housing flow channel. That is, by setting the first axial flow channel 24, the cooling medium can flow to the inside of the armature structure 2, realizing the cooling and heat dissipation from the inside of the armature structure 2. Thus, through the combined heat dissipation of the first axial flow channel 24 and the housing flow channel, the armature structure 2 can be cooled in multiple directions from different positions on the inside and outside, which is beneficial to enhancing the cooling effect on the armature structure 2.

[0049] The cooling medium can be oil or other insulating cooling fluids.

[0050] The motor housing 1 is made of resin material. Compared with the traditional aluminum alloy material, the resin material can effectively attenuate the vibration and noise of the motor, which is beneficial to realizing the lightweight design of the motor housing 1 and reducing the overall weight of the motor assembly 100. And, a bearing member can be arranged at the mating part of the rotor shaft and the motor housing 1, so that the rotor part can drive the rotor shaft to rotate smoothly. Moreover, the motor housing 1 made of resin material can prevent the bearing member from being corroded by the shaft current, thus playing a role in preventing bearing electro-corrosion. The armature structure 2 can be formed by potting with a thermally conductive resin 25, replacing the traditional epoxy powder coating, insulating paint impregnation, and low design of slot insulation. While simplifying the manufacturing process of the armature structure 2, the copper wires of the armature structure 2 are completely protected, eliminating the insulation problems between copper wires, between copper wires and the iron core. At the same time, the thermally conductive resin 25 is in full contact with the copper wires and the iron core, which is beneficial to improving the heat conduction effect and thus achieving an ideal cooling effect.

[0051] Meanwhile, by providing a resinified motor housing 1, when the motor housing 1 is installed and mated with the armature structure 2, there is no need to consider the requirements of electrical safety distance, and the minimum clearance is left on the premise of ensuring no interference, so as to realize the compact design of the internal structure of the motor assembly 100, shorten the axial space of the motor, and help reduce the overall volume of the motor assembly 100.

[0052] In the motor assembly 100 according to the embodiment of the present invention, by making the motor housing 1 of resin material, it is beneficial to reduce the noise generated by the motor, realize the lightweight design of the motor assembly 100, and can reduce the risk of corrosion at the mating part between the armature structure 2 and the motor housing 1, and is also beneficial to reduce the structural size of the motor housing 1 to achieve compact installation. At the same time, the housing flow channel provided in the motor housing 1 and the first axial flow channel 24 provided in the armature structure 2 can effectively dissipate heat from the armature structure 2 to ensure the reliability of the motor operation.

[0053] In some embodiments, the motor housing 1 is formed with a cooling inlet 113 and a cooling outlet, the housing flow channel is respectively communicated with the cooling inlet 113 and the cooling outlet, and the cooling inlet 113 and the cooling outlet are respectively communicated with an external cooling flow path, so that the cooling medium in the external cooling flow path can enter the housing flow channel from the cooling inlet 113, and can cool down the armature structure 2 during the flow in the housing flow channel, and then flow out of the motor housing 1 from the cooling outlet.

[0054] Wherein, the cooling inlet 113 and the cooling outlet can be arranged at different ends of the motor housing 1. For example, the cooling inlet 113 is arranged at one end of the motor housing 1, and the cooling outlet is arranged at the other end of the motor housing 1; or the cooling inlet 113 and the cooling outlet can be arranged at the same end of the motor housing 1 and communicated through the housing flow channel, that is, the housing flow channel can extend to the other end of the motor housing 1 and return to the cooling outlet to realize the cooling and temperature reduction at different positions in the axial direction of the armature.

[0055] In addition, the first axial flow channel 24 is respectively communicated with the cooling inlet 113 and the cooling outlet through the housing flow channel, reducing the setting of the external cooling flow path, which is beneficial to reducing the number of inlets and outlets, reducing the setting difficulty, and lowering the setting cost.

[0056] In some embodiments, such as Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, the housing flow path includes a first circumferential flow path 112 and a second circumferential flow path 122. The first circumferential flow path 112 and the second circumferential flow path 122 are provided on two inner end faces of the motor housing 1. Among them, both the first circumferential flow path 112 and the second circumferential flow path 122 extend along the circumference of the motor housing 1, that is, the first circumferential flow path 112 extends along the circumference on one inner end face of the motor housing 1 to cool different positions in the circumferential direction at one end of the armature structure 2. At the same time, the second circumferential flow path 122 extends along the circumference on the other inner end face of the motor housing 1 to cool different positions in the circumferential direction at the other end of the armature structure 2.

[0057] That is to say, both the first circumferential flow path 112 and the second circumferential flow path 122 are configured as annular flow paths, and both the first circumferential flow path 112 and the second circumferential flow path 122 open towards the accommodation cavity 111.

[0058] In addition, in actual design, the first circumferential flow path 112 and the second circumferential flow path 122 can be set to be distributed axially opposite in the motor housing 1 to make the heat dissipation effects at both ends of the armature structure 2 relatively balanced.

[0059] Among them, the armature structure 2 includes a non-outlet-end copper wire 21, a straight-section copper wire 22, and an outlet-end copper wire 23 that are potted and fixed in sequence along the axis. The stator part of the motor assembly 100 includes the non-outlet-end copper wire 21, the straight-section copper wire 22, and the outlet-end copper wire 23. As Figure 12 shown, the non-outlet-end copper wire 21 is located at the left end of the straight-section copper wire 22, the outlet-end copper wire 23 is located at the right end of the straight-section copper wire 22, and as Figure 1 shown, the outlet-end copper wire 23 is led out of the accommodation cavity 111 through an outlet copper row 26. The armature structure 2 can pot the non-outlet-end copper wire 21, the straight-section copper wire 22, and the outlet-end copper wire 23 with a thermally conductive resin 25 to replace the traditional epoxy powder coating, insulating paint impregnation, and low in-slot insulation design. While simplifying the manufacturing process of the armature structure 2, the copper wires of the armature are completely protected, eliminating the insulation problems between copper wires and between copper wires and the iron core. At the same time, the thermally conductive resin 25 is in full contact with the copper wires and the iron core, which is beneficial to improving the heat conduction effect and thus achieving an ideal cooling effect.

[0060] Thus, along the axial direction of the motor housing 1, the non-outlet-end copper wire 21, the straight-segment copper wire 22, and the outlet-end copper wire 23 are located between the first circumferential flow channel 112 and the second circumferential flow channel 122. At least a part of the non-outlet-end copper wire 21 extends into the first circumferential flow channel 112, at least a part of the outlet-end copper wire 23 extends into the second circumferential flow channel 122, and both ends of the first axial flow channel 24 are respectively communicated with the first circumferential flow channel 112 and the second circumferential flow channel 122. It should be noted that the non-outlet-end copper wire 21, the straight-segment copper wire 22, and the outlet-end copper wire 23 are potted and fixed, and the gap at the non-outlet-end copper wire 21 is communicated with the first circumferential flow channel 112, and the gap at the outlet-end copper wire 23 is communicated with the second circumferential flow channel 122.

[0061] During actual cooling, one of the first circumferential flow channel 112 and the second circumferential flow channel 122 is communicated with the cooling inlet 113 and the other is communicated with the cooling outlet. For example, the first circumferential flow channel 112 is communicated with the cooling inlet 113, and the second circumferential flow channel 122 is communicated with the cooling outlet. The cooling medium entering from the cooling inlet 113 can flow to the position of the first circumferential flow channel 112. The cooling medium at the first circumferential flow channel 112 can cool the non-outlet-end copper wire 21, and the cooling medium at the first circumferential flow channel 112 can also flow to the position of the second circumferential flow channel 122 through the first axial flow channel 24. During the process of flowing in the first axial flow channel 24, it can cool the straight-segment copper wire 22, and the cooling medium entering the second circumferential flow channel 122 can cool the outlet-end copper wire 23. Thus, separate cooling of the non-outlet-end copper wire 21, the straight-segment copper wire 22, and the outlet-end copper wire 23 can be realized, more detailed and targeted cooling can be achieved, and thus it is beneficial to quickly cool down the armature structure 2.

[0062] And, as Figure 2 shown, a second seal 14 can be arranged in the first circumferential flow channel 112. The second seal 14 can axially seal the outside of the non-outlet-end copper wire 21, so that the cooling medium in the first circumferential flow channel 112 can cool the non-outlet-end copper wire 21. At the same time, as Figure 4 shown, a second seal 14 can also be arranged in the second circumferential flow channel 122. The second seal 14 can axially seal the outside of the outlet-end copper wire 23, so that the cooling medium in the second circumferential flow channel 122 can cool the outlet-end copper wire 23.

[0063] In some embodiments, the first axial flow channel 24 is located inside the straight-segment copper wire 22. Thus, the first axial flow channel 24 is located in a region closer to the center inside the motor assembly 100, so that the first axial flow channel 24 can take out the heat inside the motor assembly 100, which is beneficial to enhancing the heat dissipation effect.

[0064] Moreover, the first axial flow channel 24 is arranged in parallel and spaced apart from the straight-section copper wire 22. Specifically, both the first axial flow channel 24 and the straight-section copper wire 22 extend along the axial direction of the armature structure 2, and the first axial flow channel 24 penetrates along the axial direction of the armature structure 2, so that the cooling medium in the first axial flow channel 24 can effectively dissipate heat from all positions of the armature structure 2 in the axial direction, and the distance between the first axial flow channel 24 and the straight-section copper wire 22 is relatively uniform at each position, which is beneficial to balancing the heat dissipation effect at each position of the straight-section copper wire 22.

[0065] In some embodiments, there are multiple first axial flow channels 24, and the multiple first axial flow channels 24 are spaced apart and distributed in the circumferential direction of the armature structure 2. It can be understood that both the first circumferential flow channel 112 and the second circumferential flow channel 122 are annular flow channels. By providing multiple first axial flow channels 24, the first circumferential flow channel 112 and the second circumferential flow channel 122 can be connected through the first axial flow channels 24 at multiple positions in the circumferential direction, which is beneficial to increasing the flow rate of the cooling medium and enhancing the cooling effect.

[0066] In other words, the multiple first axial flow channels 24 are all located inside the straight-section copper wire 22, and can cool the straight-section copper wire 22 in the armature structure 2 in multiple regions, which can greatly improve the cooling effect.

[0067] In some embodiments, as Figure 1 shown, the motor assembly 100 further includes a controller copper bus 3. The controller copper bus 3 is electrically connected to the outgoing line end copper wire 23 through an outgoing line copper bus 26. Thus, power can be supplied to the winding coils of the stator part through the controller copper bus 3, and further, the stator part can drive the rotor part to rotate when powered on, realizing power output.

[0068] The housing flow channel further includes a controller cooling cavity 121 communicating with the first circumferential flow channel 112 or the second circumferential flow channel 122. At least a part of the controller copper bus 3 is installed in the controller cooling cavity 121. In this way, the controller copper bus 3 can be cooled and temperature-reduced by the cooling medium in the controller cooling cavity 121, ensuring that the controller copper bus 3 is also in a relatively stable and reliable state.

[0069] Among them, the controller cooling cavity 121 may be provided with an oil return hole 123, and the housing flow channel further includes an oil return flow channel 114. The oil return hole 123 may communicate with one end of the oil return flow channel 114, and the other end of the oil return flow channel 114 communicates with the cooling outlet. In specific implementation, the cooling inlet 113 communicates with the first circumferential flow channel 112. The cooling medium in the first circumferential flow channel 112 flows through the first axial flow channel 24 to the second circumferential flow channel 122, and then flows into the controller cooling cavity 121, and then flows out of the cooling outlet through the oil return hole 123 and the oil return flow channel 114. The cooling outlet may communicate with the inside of the transmission cavity and finally flow to the oil pan. During this process, the straight-section copper wire 22, the outgoing-end copper wire 23, and the controller copper busbar 3 can be cooled to achieve effective temperature reduction.

[0070] In some embodiments, the controller cooling cavity 121 has a through hole 128. The controller copper busbar 3 includes an injection molding layer 31 and a copper busbar part 32. The injection molding layer 31 is sleeved outside the copper busbar part 32. The injection molding layer 31 is installed at the through hole 128. A first seal 33 that is sealingly matched with the through hole 128 is provided on the outer peripheral wall of the injection molding layer 31. One end of the copper busbar part 32 is located inside the controller cooling cavity 121 and is connected to the outgoing copper busbar 26, and the other end extends outside the through hole 128. Thus, the controller copper busbar 3 extends outside the motor housing 1 and can be connected to an external power source, which is conducive to realizing the power supply to the motor assembly 100. The part of the controller copper busbar 3 located inside the controller cooling cavity 121 can be effectively cooled and temperature-reduced to ensure that the controller copper busbar 3 is in a safe and stable temperature state.

[0071] Among them, the injection molding layer 31 may be made of injection molding nylon material.

[0072] Specifically, the motor housing 1 is provided with a mounting hole 124 inside the controller cooling cavity 121. A threaded steel sleeve 125 may be provided in the mounting hole 124. One end of the outgoing copper busbar 26 is connected to the outgoing-end copper wire 23, and the other end of the outgoing copper busbar 26 extends to the mounting hole 124. At the same time, one end of the copper busbar part 32 is located inside the controller cooling cavity 121 and is fixedly connected to the other end of the outgoing copper busbar through a fixing bolt 4 passing through the threaded steel sleeve 125. Thus, the installation and fixation of the controller copper busbar 3 can be realized. Among them, the threaded steel sleeve 125 may be injection molded into the resin of the motor housing 1, so that the motor housing 1 has an integrated wiring seat design, canceling the separate adapter part of the wiring seat, simplifying the assembly and reducing the space occupation.

[0073] Thus, setting the first seal 33 on the outer peripheral wall of the injection molding layer 31 can make the outer peripheral wall of the controller copper busbar 3 form a sealed installation with the motor housing 1, avoiding the outflow of the cooling medium in the controller cooling cavity 121, ensuring the sealing reliability of the motor housing 1, and ensuring the stability of the cooling performance.

[0074] And, such as Figure 3 、 Figure 5 andFigure 10 As shown, three controller busbars 3 can be provided, and the three controller busbars 3 are spaced apart and arranged in parallel.

[0075] In some embodiments, the motor assembly 100 further includes a rotor portion.

Two ends of the rotor shaft of the rotor portion are rotatably supported in the first bearing chambers 115 and the second bearing chambers 126, and the housing flow channels are respectively communicated with the first bearing chambers 115 and the second bearing chambers 126.

[0076] As Figure 1 shown, the motor housing 1 forms the first bearing chambers 115 and the second bearing chambers 126 at two ends of the rotor portion. Among them, bearing members can be respectively installed in the first bearing chambers 115 and the second bearing chambers 126, and the bearing members can rotatably support the rotor shaft to ensure that the rotor portion can stably drive the rotor shaft for power output. At the same time, the cooling medium in the housing flow channels can flow into the first bearing chambers 115 and the second bearing chambers 126 to cool the bearings at two ends of the rotor portion, and the cooling medium at the first bearing chamber 115 or the second bearing chamber 126 can also flow into the interior of the rotor portion to realize the internal cooling of the rotor portion and improve the cooling effect.

[0078] Thus, the cooling medium at the cooling inlet 113 can enter the first end flow channel 116 to cool one end of the armature structure 2, and further enter the first bearing chamber 115 to cool the bearing member at this position. At the same time, part of the cooling medium in the first end flow channel 116 can flow from the second axial flow channel 117 to the second end flow channel 127 to cool the other end of the armature structure 2 and the bearing member at the other end, and the cooling medium entering the first bearing chamber 115 can flow from the interior of the armature structure 2 to the second bearing chamber 126 to realize the maximized internal cooling and enhance the cooling effect.

[0079] In some embodiments, the motor housing 1 includes a housing 11 and an end cover 12. A receiving cavity 111 is arranged in the housing 11 and is open at one end of the housing 11. The end cover 12 is detachably connected to one end of the housing 11 to close the receiving cavity 111. Specifically, as Figure 1As shown in the figure, a receiving cavity 111 is formed inside the housing 11, and the right end of the receiving cavity 111 is an open end. Thus, by flexibly disassembling the end cover 12, the receiving cavity 111 can be selectively opened, facilitating the installation and replacement of the armature structure 2.

[0080] Wherein, the housing 11 and / or the end cover 12 are formed with a housing flow channel, that is, a housing flow channel is provided in at least one of the housing 11 and the end cover 12, so that a cooling structure can be formed at both the housing 11 and the end cover 12.

[0081] Specifically, in actual design, the cooling inlet 113, the first circumferential flow channel 112, the first end flow channel 116, and the first bearing chamber 115 can be provided in the housing 11. At the same time, the second circumferential flow channel 122, the second end flow channel 127, the second bearing chamber 126, and the controller cooling cavity 121 are provided in the end cover 12. Among them, the first axial flow channel 24, the second axial flow channel 117, and the oil return flow channel 114 each include two parts, and one part is located inside the housing 11 and the other part is located inside the end cover 12.

[0082] And, as Figure 2 shown, the cooling inlet 113 is provided at the left end of the housing 11. The first end flow channel 116 includes a first outer radial flow channel 1161 and a first inner radial flow channel 1162. Among them, the cooling inlet 113 is communicated with the first inner radial flow channel 1162. The inner side of the first outer radial flow channel 1161 is communicated with the outer end of the first inner radial flow channel 1162. The inner end of the first inner radial flow channel 1162 is communicated with the first bearing chamber 115. And the middle part of the first inner radial flow channel 1162 is communicated with the first circumferential flow channel 112. The first outer radial flow channel 1161 is communicated with the first axial flow channel 24. At the same time, as Figure 4 shown, the second end flow channel 127 includes a main radial flow channel 1271, a first outer axial flow channel 1272, and a first inner axial flow channel 1273. Among them, the outer end of the main radial flow channel 1271 is communicated with the first axial flow channel 24. The first outer axial flow channel 1272 is located outside the first inner axial flow channel 1273 and is respectively communicated with the inner end of the main radial flow channel 1271. The first outer axial flow channel 1272 is communicated to a position corresponding to the bearing member inside the second bearing chamber 126. The first inner axial flow channel 1273 is communicated to a position directly opposite to the center of the rotor part inside the second bearing chamber 126, so as to realize the cooling of different positions inside the second bearing chamber 126.

[0083] And / or, a steel sleeve 13 is provided between the armature structure 2 and the inner wall of the motor housing 1, that is, the steel sleeve 13 can be arranged inside the motor housing 1 so that the armature structure 2 can pass through the steel sleeve 13. Among them, the steel sleeve 13 can be injection molded in the housing 11, effectively ensuring the interference fit between the housing 11 and the armature structure 2, ensuring the overall strength of the motor housing 1, preventing the armature structure 2 from moving axially, and eliminating the need for the armature structure 2 to add ears for bolt fixation, saving radial space.

[0084] The present utility model also provides a vehicle.

[0085] According to the vehicle of the embodiment of the present utility model, it includes the motor assembly 100 of any of the above embodiments. By setting the motor housing 1 to be made of resin material, it is beneficial to reduce the noise generated by the motor, achieve the lightweight design of the motor assembly 100. Since the materials of the housing 11 and the end cover 12 are resin, the two bearing chambers play an insulating role, which can prevent the bearing parts from being corroded by shaft current, play a role in preventing bearing electrical corrosion, and is beneficial to reducing the structural size of the motor housing 1 to achieve a compact installation. At the same time, the housing flow channel provided in the motor housing 1 can effectively dissipate heat from the armature structure 2, ensuring the reliability of the motor operation.

[0086] Among them, the motor assembly 100 can be applied to the power system of the vehicle, thereby providing stable power output for the vehicle and improving the driving performance of the whole vehicle.
