[0018] The present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. The embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail below, and examples of the embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals throughout represent the same or similar elements or elements with the same or similar functions. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are only used to explain the present invention and are not to be construed as limiting the present invention. The terms such as left, center, right, top, and bottom in the embodiments of the present invention are merely relative concepts or are based on the normal use state of the product and should not be considered as restrictive.
[0019] A special-shaped metal oil pipe for an electric drive transmission, such as Figure 1 As shown, it includes a metal oil pipe 1, which is a V-shaped structure. The plane where the V-shaped structure is located is plane A. The ends of the metal oil pipe 1 are folded away from the A plane to form a folded portion 11, and the folded portions 11 at both ends of the metal oil pipe 1 are axially the same. The axial direction of the folded portion 11 is perpendicular to the A plane, so that the two connecting ends of the metal oil pipe 1 are easily plugged into the housing in the same direction; both end ports of the metal oil pipe 1 are provided with a connecting assembly 2, combined with Figure 2As shown, the connection assembly 2 includes a fixed flange 22 and a joint 21, both of which are metal. The joint 21 is a cylindrical structure. The fixed flange 22 is sleeved outside the connecting end of the joint 21 and has an interference fit therewith. At the same time, in order to improve the connection strength between the fixed flange 22 and the joint 21, one end of the inner ring of the fixed flange 22 is welded to the outer wall of the joint 21 through a welding ring.
[0020] The connecting end sleeve of the joint 21 is set outside the end of the metal oil pipe 1 and is interference fit with it, so that the end of the metal oil pipe 1 and the inner ring of the fixing flange 22 correspond to each other in the radial direction of the joint 21, and the metal oil pipe 1 and the joint 21 are also welded by a welding ring. In order to facilitate the connection between the metal oil pipe 1 and the joint 21, the inner hole of the joint 21 is expanded and connected to the metal oil pipe 1, and the connecting end port of the joint 21 and the outer wall of the metal oil pipe 1 are welded by a welding ring; an annular sink 211 for matching the metal oil pipe 1 is provided on the side wall of the inner hole of the joint 21, and the annular surface of the annular sink 211 is in contact with the outer wall of the metal oil pipe 1, and the annular end surface of the annular sink 211 is in contact with the end surface of the metal oil pipe 1, so as to facilitate the relative positioning between the metal oil pipe 1 and the joint 21, and the inner wall of the metal oil pipe 1 coincides with the inner wall of the free end of the joint 21; a sealing ring 24 is embedded on the outer wall of the free end of the joint 21.
[0021] The metal oil pipe 1, the fixed flange 22, and the connector 21 are all made of stainless steel, and all have electroplated surfaces on their inner and outer surfaces. Furthermore, to facilitate securing the fixed flange 22 to the housing, a fixing lug 23 is integrally formed on the outer ring of the fixed flange 22, and a fixing hole 231 is defined in the fixing lug 23.
[0022] When assembled on the housing 3, combine Figure 3 As shown, the housing 3 is provided with an oil passage opening 32 with an opening facing the same direction, and a fixing seat 31 is integrally provided on the housing 3 near the oil passage opening 32; the folded portion 11 of the metal oil pipe 1 is directed toward the oil passage opening 32 and the connector 21 is inserted therein. At this time, the connector 21 and the inner wall of the oil passage opening 32 are sealed by a sealing ring 24, and the fixing flange 22 is fixedly connected to the corresponding fixing seat 31 by screws, thereby realizing that the metal oil pipe 1 forms an oil passage on the housing 3. Since the fixing flange 22 and the end of the metal oil pipe 1 have mutually corresponding parts in the radial direction of the connector 21, the fixing flange 22 has a fixing effect on the connector 21 directly and the metal oil pipe 1 indirectly, thereby making the oil passage more stable and ensuring the sealing between the connector 21 and the oil passage opening 32.
