Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of permanent magnet motors, in particular to a composite oil cooling structure of a permanent magnet motor. Background Art
[0002] A magneto oil cooling system typically consists of an oil cooler housing, an oil pump, a radiator, piping, and other components. The operating principle is that, driven by the oil pump, cooling oil flows through the motor housing, absorbs heat from the motor, and then returns to the radiator, dissipating the heat into the atmosphere. This effectively diverts heat away from the motor's surface and dissipates it to a dedicated radiator. This offers two advantages. First, it improves heat dissipation efficiency; the combined heat dissipation efficiency of the radiator and oil far exceeds that of the motor itself. Second, the motor can be made very small, meeting the requirements of a compact installation, and the radiator can be installed in a well-ventilated area away from the motor. Oil cooling offers superior heat dissipation compared to water cooling. Furthermore, cooling oil is partially non-magnetic and non-conductive, providing enhanced protection for motor operation.
[0003] Whether it is water cooling or oil cooling, the existing liquid cooling method requires the heat source inside the motor to be transferred to the external shell through layers of materials and then carried away by the oil channel. For example, the coil inside the motor coil has a temperature gradient from the coil to the oil cooling shell due to the existence of thermal resistance. The coil cannot be cooled directly, resulting in temperature accumulation and the formation of local hot spots. Utility Model Content

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0026] The following will clearly and completely describe the technical solutions of the present invention in conjunction with the embodiments. Obviously, the embodiments described are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of them. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0027] Example 1
[0028] See also Figure 3 - Figure 5 The present application provides a composite oil cooling structure for a permanent magnet motor, specifically a direct cooling structure, wherein the direct cooling structure includes a rotor cooling component 200 and a coil cooling component 300, including:
[0029] Motor housing 100;
[0030] The rotor cooling member 200 is installed inside the motor housing 100. The rotor cooling member 200 utilizes the rotor core 203 in the middle of the motor shaft, which generates relatively high heat, to directly contact the central shaft 201. Heat is transferred to the cooling oil through the central shaft 201. The cooling oil flows throughout the central shaft 201, dissipating the heat to the lower temperature locations at both ends of the central shaft 201. Furthermore, the heat dissipation ribs at the rear end dissipate the heat from the central shaft 201 to the surrounding environment in a timely manner, thereby ensuring that the magnets do not lose magnetism due to overheating.
[0031] The coil cooling member 300 is installed between the rotor cooling member 200 and the motor housing 100. The coil cooling member 300 sprays cooling oil on the winding ends to cool the windings. Under the action of gravity, the oil gradually flows to the bottom oil collection port 104 at the bottom of the base. After flowing out of the oil collection pipe and returning to the cooling system for cooling, the reciprocating cycle cools the coil body 301 and the rotor core 203.
[0032] The rotor cooling member 200 includes a central shaft 201 that passes through the motor housing 100. A cooling oil cavity 202 is defined within the central shaft 201 to facilitate the filling of the entire cooling oil cavity 202 with cooling oil, thereby cooling the central shaft 201 from the inside.
[0033] The coil cooling component 300 includes a coil body 301 sleeved on the central axis 201, and a plurality of cooling oil channels 302 are evenly arranged on the outer circumferential surface of the coil body 301. The inner arc surface of the cooling oil channel 302 is provided with oil holes to facilitate the cooling oil to be sprayed out from the oil holes. Cooling oil spray rings 304 are arranged inside the two ends of the coil body 301. The cooling oil spray rings 304 spray the cooling oil onto the end of the rotor core 203, thereby cooling the rotor core 203.
[0034] In this embodiment, preferably, the rotor cooling component 200 also includes a rotor core 203 sleeved on the central shaft 201, the right end of the central shaft 201 passes through the motor housing 100 and is exposed to the outside, and a heat sink 204 is provided at the right end of the central shaft 201 to dissipate heat and cool the central shaft 201.
[0035] In this embodiment, preferably, the coil cooling component 300 includes a plurality of oil drain holes 306 opened on the surface of the cooling oil spray ring 304 to facilitate the discharge of cooling oil. The upper surface of the cooling oil spray ring 304 is provided with an oil spray ring oil inlet pipe 305 that passes through the coil body 301 and is exposed to the outside.
[0036] In this embodiment, preferably, two oil outlet pipes 303 are provided on the upper surface of the coil body 301, and the two oil outlet pipes 303 are respectively connected to the cooling oil filling port 103 and the cooling oil drain port 105, and multiple cooling oil channels 302 are connected to each other to facilitate the circulation of cooling oil.
[0037] In this embodiment, preferably, an oil passage communicating with the cooling oil chamber 202 is opened at the left end of the central shaft 201 to facilitate the introduction of cooling oil into the interior of the central shaft 201 .
[0038] In this embodiment, preferably, the cooling oil spray ring 304 is located at the end of the rotor core 203, and the oil drain holes 306 are distributed laterally.
[0039] In summary, the cooling oil enters the cooling oil channel 302 and the oil outlet pipe 303 for injecting cooling oil at a certain pressure by the oil pump, and is sprayed on the end of the winding to cool the winding. Under the action of gravity, it gradually flows to the bottom oil collecting port 104 at the bottom of the machine base, flows out of the oil collecting pipe and returns to the cooling system for cooling, and then circulates back and forth to cool the winding and the rotor core 203.
[0040] The rotor cooling structure 200 features a hollow central shaft 201, with cooling oil injected into the cooling oil chamber 202. Heat dissipation ribs are evenly distributed along the shaft's tail end. During motor operation, the rotor core 203, located in the center of the central shaft 201 and generating the most heat, comes into direct contact with the shaft. Heat is transferred through the shaft to the cooling oil. The cooling oil flows throughout the shaft, dispersing the heat toward the cooler ends. Meanwhile, the heat dissipation ribs at the tail end dissipate the heat to the surrounding environment, preventing the magnets from overheating and demagnetizing.
[0041] Example 2
[0042] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 , which is the second embodiment of the present utility model, is for cooling the housing of the motor, and the housing cooling utilizes the oil channel of the machine base for cooling.
[0043] In this embodiment, preferably, the motor housing 100 includes end covers 101 arranged at both ends, and two oil injection ring oil filling ports 102 connected to two oil injection ring oil inlet pipes 305 are provided on the upper surface of the end cover 101. A base is provided at the bottom of the motor housing 100, and a return oil channel is opened inside the base to facilitate the flow and collection of cooling oil. A cooling oil filling port 103 and a cooling oil drain port 105 are respectively provided on the upper surface of the motor housing 100 to facilitate the injection and discharge of cooling oil. Bottom oil collecting ports 104 are provided near the bottom of both ends of the motor housing 100, and the bottom oil collecting port 104 is connected to the external oil collecting pipe, and the oil collecting pipe is connected to the recovery system.
[0044] In summary, the engine base oil channel cooling utilizes the return oil channel designed in the engine base cavity to allow the cooling oil to flow through the motor housing 100 in an orderly manner, taking away the heat generated by the motor operation, and then cooling the oil through an external cooling system, thus repeating the cycle.
