Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of electronic fuel pumps and relates to a high-efficiency electronic fuel pump, in particular to an integrated electronic fuel pump with an inner cavity of a motor immersed in oil. Background Art
[0002] The electronic fuel pump is an important device used in the engine fuel system. The basic principle is to use the motor to drive the rotor or impeller in the pump body to rotate at high speed. Under the action of centrifugal force, the structure of the rotor or impeller will cause the flow of fuel in the pump to change, forming a vacuum low pressure at the oil inlet. The fuel pressure after suction gradually increases, forming a high-pressure fuel flow at the oil outlet.
[0003] Traditional electronic fuel pumps consist of a permanent magnet motor and a pump body. The motor, which powers the pump, consists of permanent magnets fixed to the housing, an armature that generates electromagnetic torque, and a brush assembly mounted on the housing. The brushes contact the armature's commutator, and wires from the brushes are routed through terminals on the housing and then connected to an external controller. Pump bodies come in various types, including roller, vane, and gear.
[0004] Conventional electronic fuel pumps utilize separate permanent magnet motors and pump bodies, sealed to prevent the fuel in the pump body from entering the permanent magnet motor. Furthermore, to maximize the pump's pressurization efficiency, the permanent magnet motor must operate at extremely high speeds, generating significant heat. This requires specialized cooling devices, including but not limited to external air bleeds, oil channel design, and the use of alternative heat sinks. In environments with limited heat sink capacity, such as aircraft, the heat generated by the permanent magnet motor can create a significant heat sink burden.
[0005] Small engines are generally installed in compact working environments, and their corresponding electronic fuel pumps need to be miniaturized. However, based on the aforementioned issues, it is difficult for electronic fuel pumps to operate efficiently while being miniaturized, and the heat generated by them is difficult to address during the miniaturization process.

[0027] The rotor 5 is mounted in the pump base 4 via a first bearing 6 and a second bearing 7 . Both the first bearing 6 and the second bearing 7 are provided with oil passages.
[0028] The stator 9 of the motor and the pump base 4 are fixedly connected by solidifying glue.
[0029] The lead wires of the stator 9 pass through the solidified glue and are connected to the driver 10 located at the rear end of the motor.

[0032] Example 2:
[0033] The invention relates to an integrated electronic fuel pump with an inner cavity of a motor immersed in oil, which adopts a single-end oil-immersed motor, a pump and a driver integrated solution.
[0034] The pump cover 3 is mounted to the left end of the motor housing via screws 13. The pump cover 3 is a cylindrical structure with a diameter identical to that of the motor housing, effectively extending the motor housing. The motor housing itself also serves as the pump base 4.
