Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the field of motor cooling, in particular to a liquid-cooled motor connected to a pump. Background Art

[0002] Current liquid-cooled motor cooling methods require an external motor-driven oil pump to circulate coolant within the motor housing, thereby reducing the motor's operating temperature. This structural solution also requires a separate motor for the oil pump, connected using a center bracket and coupling. This approach consumes a large amount of space, reduces the unit's space utilization, and is costly. Utility Model Content

[0003] The purpose of the utility model is to overcome the deficiencies of the prior art and to provide a liquid-cooled motor connected to a pump, wherein the motor and the oil pump are connected by components such as an adapter shaft, an adapter flange, a coupling and bolts.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0018] The following is a detailed introduction to the present invention with reference to the accompanying drawings:

[0019] Example: As shown in the attached Figures 1 to 4 As shown, this liquid-cooled motor connected to the pump includes a base 1, a liquid inlet 11, a liquid outlet 12, a rear end cover 2, an inner hole 21, a positioning groove 22, an adapter flange 3, a flange plate 31, an end cover mating part 32, an oil pump mating part 33, a bearing 4, a motor shaft 5, an adapter shaft 6, a coupling 7, an oil pump 8, a liquid delivery port 81, a liquid return port 82, a pump shaft 9 and a spring washer 10.

[0020] Reference Attachment Figure 1 、 2 The rear end cover 2 is installed at the rear end of the machine base 1, the rear end of the motor shaft 5 is inserted into the inner hole 21 of the rear end cover 2, and a small adapter shaft 6 is fixedly connected to the motor shaft 5 by bolts. The other end of the small adapter shaft 6 is connected to the pump shaft 9 of the oil pump 8 through a coupling 7. The oil pump 8 is installed on the rear end cover 2 through the adapter flange 3.

[0021] like Figure 3 、4 As shown, further, the adapter flange 3 includes a flange plate 31, an end cover mating portion 32 arranged on the left side of the flange plate 31, and an oil pump mating portion 33 arranged on the right side of the flange plate 31. The end cover mating portion 32 extends into the inner hole 21 of the rear end cover 2. An annular positioning groove 22 is opened on the surface of the rear end cover 2, so that the flange plate 31 is embedded in the positioning groove 22 and fixed. The oil pump 8 is fixedly connected to the oil pump mating portion 33 by bolts.

[0022] Preferably, the rear end of the motor shaft 5 is supported by a bearing 4 in the inner hole 21 of the rear end cover 2, with a spring washer 10 installed between the bearing 4 and the end cover mating portion 32. Furthermore, a relief valve is installed on the oil pump 8 to quantitatively control the flow of coolant entering the motor cavity, ensuring a constant coolant flow rate.

[0023] Reference Attachment Figure 3 A liquid inlet 11 and a liquid outlet 12 are provided on the top of the base 1, communicating with the inner cavity of the motor. A liquid delivery port 81 and a liquid return port 82 are provided on the oil pump 8. The liquid delivery port 81 is connected to the liquid inlet 11 via a pipeline, allowing coolant to flow into the inner cavity of the motor. The liquid outlet 12 is connected to a coolant tank via a pipeline. A cooling device is provided in the coolant tank. After the coolant is cooled by the cooling device, it is connected to the liquid return port 82 via a pipeline, forming a coolant circulation.

[0024] The working process of this utility model:

[0025] During operation, the motor shaft 5 drives the rotating small shaft 6, and the rotating small shaft 6 drives the pump shaft 9 to rotate through the coupling 7, so that the oil pump 8 starts to work, and the coolant is sucked into the oil pump 8 from the return liquid port 82 and sent out from the liquid delivery port 81, entering the liquid inlet 11 on the machine base 1 to cool the inner cavity of the motor. Then the coolant is discharged from the liquid outlet 12 on the machine base 1, flows to the coolant tank through the pipeline, and is cooled by the cooling equipment. Then, it is sent back to the return liquid port 82 of the oil pump 8 through the pipeline.

[0026] A relief valve is installed on oil pump 8 to control the flow rate into the motor housing, ensuring effective motor cooling. The relief valve threshold is set based on the cooling capacity at the motor's lowest speed. When the motor speed reaches a certain level, the pressure generated by the oil pump exceeds the relief valve threshold, causing excess coolant to flow directly into the coolant tank.

[0027] It is understandable that for those skilled in the art, any equivalent replacement or change of the technical solution and the concept of the utility model should fall within the scope of protection of the claims attached to the utility model.
