[0034] A rotor cavity and an oil pump cavity are provided on the end surface of the other end of the motor housing 7 .

[0042] Example 2:
[0043] The main structure of this embodiment is the same as that of embodiment 1. Figure 2 The relationship between the length D of the positioning inner hole and the thickness T of the oil pump inner rotor is 2 / 3T≤D≤3 / 4T.
[0044] Example 3:
[0045] The main structure of this embodiment is the same as any one of Embodiments 1 to 2. Furthermore, the positioning clearance between the positioning section 102 and the positioning inner hole is 0.03 mm to 0.08 mm.
[0046] Example 4:
[0047] The main structure of this embodiment is the same as any one of embodiments 1 to 3. Figure 3 The waist-shaped hole is a curved waist-shaped hole, and its cross-sectional shape is formed by connecting two symmetrical arcs with openings facing inward and two openings facing outward in sequence.
[0048] The opening facing inwards refers to facing the inner hole, and the opening facing outwards refers to facing away from the inner hole.
[0049] Example 5:
[0050] The main structure of this embodiment is the same as any one of embodiments 1 to 4. Figure 3 , the radius of the arc segment with the opening facing inward is recorded as r, and the radius of the arc segment with the opening facing outward is recorded as R, where R≈5r, and 2r>d, d is the diameter of the positioning inner hole.
[0051] Example 6:
[0052] The main structure of this embodiment is the same as any one of Embodiments 1 to 5. Furthermore, the drive shaft 1 is positioned by a rolling bearing 4.
[0053] See also Figure 1 In this embodiment, positioning is performed by two rolling bearings 4 , one of which is located in the motor housing 7 , close to the oil pump inner rotor 3 , and the other is located in the cavity of the motor housing 7 , close to the motor rotor assembly 6 .
[0054] Example 7:
[0055] The main structure of this embodiment is the same as any one of embodiments 1 to 6. Figure 1 In the motor housing 7 , an elastic washer 5 is provided on the outer sleeve of the drive shaft 1 to compensate for the axial movement of the drive shaft 1 .
[0056] Example 8:
[0057] The main structure of this embodiment is the same as any one of Embodiments 1 to 7. Furthermore, the outer contour of the driving section 101 is adapted to the shape of the driving inner hole of the oil pump inner rotor 3 .
[0058] Example 9:
[0059] The main structure of this embodiment is the same as any one of embodiments 1 to 8. Furthermore, the purpose of this utility model is to optimize the design of performance within a limited space while meeting the cooling performance requirements of most electric vehicles on the market.
[0060] The specific content is: the electronically controlled pump is a dry motor, and an oil seal 2 is used to separate the motor cavity and the oil pump cavity; the motor drive shaft is positioned by two rolling bearings 4, and the axial clearance is compensated by an elastic washer 5. The motor drive shaft 1 both positions and drives the inner rotor 3, and the relationship between the positioning length D and the rotor thickness T is 2 / 3T≤D≤3 / 4T, and the positioning clearance is 0.03mm~0.08mm; the inner rotor drive part is designed as a waist-shaped hole, R≈5r, and 2r>φd.
[0061] This practical technology has significant cost improvements, does not add components such as needle rollers and positioning shafts, has fewer parts, and has a low risk of failure. Compared with the press-fit rotor process, the assembly process is simplified, and the positioning and drive coaxiality are high. The design of the waist-shaped hole arc reduces the chamfer requirements of the drive shaft, and the noise is significantly improved.
[0062] Example 10:
[0063] The main structure of this embodiment is the same as any one of Embodiments 1 to 9. Furthermore, when the controller sends an instruction to the motor, the motor rotor drives the drive shaft 1 to start rotating under the action of the magnetic force. The motor drive shaft will have a small axial movement under the action of the magnetic field. The inner rotor of the oil pump has no axial force on the drive shaft. The washer compensates for the axial movement, so that the motor rotor does not undergo axial transmission during startup.
[0064] The motor drive shaft positioning section 102 radially positions the inner rotor, ensuring high coaxiality between the oil pump's inner rotor and the motor rotor, minimizing imbalance. The motor shaft's drive section 101 engages the inner rotor's waist-shaped hole to drive the inner rotor's rotation. During this process, the inner rotor is unaffected by axial forces, maintaining axial balance within the low-pressure pump's hydraulic environment and driving the outer rotor to pump oil.
