Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of electronically controlled lubricating oil pumps for electric vehicles, in particular to a vehicle-used electronically controlled oil pump structure. Background Art
[0002] Electronic oil pumps are essential components in the cooling and lubrication systems of new energy vehicles' main drive systems. With growing market demand for electronic oil pumps, an increasing number of automotive parts suppliers and system integrators are participating in their development and supply. This has led to intense competition in the supply chain, driving continuous technological advancement and cost reduction.
[0003] In order to reduce the complexity and cost of the system, it is necessary to optimize the overall structural design of the electronically controlled pump to make it more compact and improve the power density and integration of the system. Utility Model Content
[0004] The utility model aims to provide a vehicle electronically controlled oil pump structure, which comprises a motor drive shaft, an oil seal, a motor housing, an inner rotor, a retaining ring and a pump cover.
[0005] The motor drive shaft and the inner rotor are matched and fixed by a retaining ring to achieve axial positioning of the motor drive shaft.
[0006] The motor drive shaft drives the inner rotor to rotate, thereby achieving the oil pumping function.
[0007] The motor drive shaft passes through the motor housing and is fitted with the motor housing with a small gap to achieve radial positioning of the motor drive shaft.
[0008] The motor housing is fixedly connected to the pump cover to form a cavity.
[0009] The oil seal is press-fitted onto the motor housing, and the motor drive shaft passes through the oil seal. A shaft sealing ring is used and arranged inside the cavity to separate the cavity into a motor cavity and an oil pump cavity.
[0010] Furthermore, the motor drive shaft is driven by magnetic force.
[0011] Furthermore, the vehicle electronically controlled oil pump structure adopts a dry motor.
[0012] Furthermore, the motor housing is provided with an axial hole through which the power supply drive shaft passes.
[0013] Furthermore, the effective fitting length between the motor drive shaft and the motor housing is 18 mm, and the fitting clearance is 0.02 mm.
[0014] Furthermore, a rotor cavity for mounting an inner rotor is provided on the motor housing, and the rotor cavity is divided into a high-pressure cavity and a low-pressure cavity according to the positions of the oil inlet and the oil outlet.
[0015] The high-pressure chamber and the low-pressure chamber are both located in the oil pump cavity.
[0016] Furthermore, an oil storage tank, an oil tank, and a pressure relief hole are provided on the motor housing corresponding to the oil pump cavity, and a friction pair is connected thereto.
[0017] The oil reservoir is located in the middle of the friction pair.
[0018] When the motor rotor is in a rotating state, the oil flows from the high-pressure chamber through the friction pair, oil storage tank, pressure relief hole, oil tank, and low-pressure chamber in sequence to form a circuit.
[0019] Furthermore, the oil seal and retaining ring isolate the motor cavity from the external environment.
[0020] Furthermore, it also includes an axial seal, a pump head seal ring and a sealing ring.
[0021] The axial seal, pump head seal and seal ring isolate the motor cavity and oil pump cavity from the external environment.
[0022] The technical effect of the present invention is unquestionable. The technical cost of the present invention is significantly improved, and the DV test effect is good. Compared with the conventional double-rolling bearing motor pump, the assembly efficiency of the present invention is improved by 1% to 2%. In the conventional electronically controlled pump, the motor assembly and the oil pump cavity are split, and there is a transfer dimension in the dimension chain calculation. The electronically controlled pump casing structure provided by the present invention cancels the transfer dimension, effectively improves the position of the motor shaft, and significantly improves the noise.
[0023] The displacement of this oil pump can meet the mainstream cooling needs in the market. Compared with the mainstream electronic oil pump, it has 20% fewer parts, fewer fastening screws, removed rolling bearings and motor covers, and changed the radial positioning at both ends of the drive shaft to long-distance radial positioning at one end, etc., which reduces weight and cost, while reducing assembly failure modes.

[0070] Example 10:
[0071] An electronically controlled oil pump structure for a vehicle, comprising a motor drive shaft, an oil seal, a motor housing, an inner rotor, a retaining ring, and a pump cover;
[0072] The motor drive shaft 1 is axially positioned by the retaining ring 5 and the pump cover 6, radially positioned by the motor housing 3, sealed by the oil seal 2, and oil film support and lubrication are formed by the oil circuit design of the motor housing 3.
[0073] Example 1':
[0074] A vehicle-use electronically controlled oil pump structure, the electronically controlled pump having a dry-type motor, an oil seal 2 separating the motor cavity from the oil pump cavity; a motor drive shaft 1 and an inner rotor 2 are secured with a retaining ring 5, thereby positioning the motor drive shaft 1 axially; the motor drive shaft 1 and the motor housing 3 are fitted with a small clearance, with an effective fit length of 18 mm and a fit clearance of 0.02 mm, thereby positioning the motor rotor radially;

[0077] Example 13:
[0078] A vehicle electronically controlled oil pump structure. When the controller receives a signal, it supplies power to the three-phase column of the motor. The motor rotor assembly 1 starts to rotate under the action of magnetic force. The flat square of the inner rotor 4 of the oil pump fits on the motor shaft 101 and rotates with the motor rotor assembly 1 to achieve the oil pumping function. The axial positioning of the motor rotor assembly 1 is mainly achieved through the axial positioning of the retaining ring 5. When the inner rotor 2 runs at high speed in the rotor cavity, the inner rotor 4 is axially limited by the end face of the motor housing 3 and the end face of the pump cover 6. Finally, the motor rotor assembly 1 is reliably axially positioned while rotating. The radial positioning of the motor rotor assembly 1 is based on the axial hole of the motor housing 3. When the motor rotor rotates, the oil in the high-pressure chamber enters the friction pair with the pressure, and an oil storage tank 302 is designed in the middle of the friction pair. When the oil reaches the oil seal 2, it will flow into the oil tank through the pressure relief hole 301 and then enter the low-pressure chamber to form a circuit, which plays a lubricating role for the radial support.
[0079] The beneficial effects of the vehicle electronically controlled oil pump structure are as follows:
[0080] 1. Cost advantage: The structure is simplified, the number of parts is reduced, and the number of rolling bearings, motor covers, motor cover screws, etc. is reduced, so the cost is reduced;
[0081] 2. Simplified assembly process: the number of parts is reduced, so the rolling bearing press-fitting, motor cover assembly, screw tightening and pump head positioning processes are reduced, and only the inner rotor press-fitting process is added;
[0082] 3. Failure mode reduction: Reduce the positioning and installation of the motor cover, and eliminate the failure mode of excessive concentricity between the motor cover and the motor housing shaft hole. With the motor cover removed, no screws are used inside the motor, thus eliminating the risk of screws falling inside the motor during assembly and causing a short circuit.
[0083] 4. Improved NVH performance: An oil pump rotor mounting cavity is added to the motor housing, the pump body is removed and replaced with a pump cover, the oil pump rotor is positioned more accurately, and the assembly single-octave noise is smaller.
