Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of motor technology, and in particular relates to an oil-cooled motor and its rotor structure. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, there are two main structural forms of oil-cooled motor rotors: 1. Three-shaft type: The motor shaft is a hollow shaft, connected to the reducer via a spline; lubricating oil enters the hollow shaft and, utilizing the centrifugal force of the motor rotation, forms a lubrication circulation through the oil outlet holes on the shaft. 2. Coaxial type: The motor shaft is a hollow shaft, providing lubrication for the rotor while simultaneously press-fitting the reducer's intermediate shaft drive gear at the front end, transmitting power to the reducer through a single-stage gear pair. A connecting half-shaft is inserted inside the motor shaft to achieve power output.

[0003] The two structures described above have the following problems: 1. The three-axis design has a single oil outlet method, resulting in poor stator lubrication. Additionally, the spline connection increases mechanical losses and the NVH (noise, vibration, and harshness) level of the spline. 2. The coaxial design offers better torque transmission and NVH performance compared to the three-axis design, with higher coaxiality. However, it adds the need for press-fitting of gears and shafts.

[0004] In addition, the hollow shafts of the two schemes mentioned above have many diameter variations, requiring rotary forging or spinning processes, which are complex to manufacture; at the same time, it is difficult to drill oblique holes in the shaft, and the machining is difficult, resulting in high overall manufacturing costs.

The rotating shaft is characterized in that a gear is provided at one end, and the gear is integrally formed with the rotating shaft. An expansion ring is also sleeved and fixed on a section of the rotating shaft near the gear. One end of the expansion ring abuts against the gear, and the other end abuts against one rotor baffle. A steel pressure ring is provided on one side of the other rotor baffle.

[0008] As a preferred embodiment, the two ends of the rotating shaft are respectively provided with bearing A and bearing B, the end of the expansion ring near bearing A is provided with multiple oil injection inlets, the internal central hole of the rotating shaft forms a central oil passage, and the side wall of the rotating shaft is provided with a through hole communicating with the oil injection inlets.

[0010] As a preferred embodiment, one side of the rotor baffle is provided with an oil spraying slope, the oil spraying hole is located in the oil spraying slope, and the other side of the rotor baffle is provided with an inner oil guiding recess that communicates with the oil spraying hole.

[0011] To achieve the second objective of the above-mentioned utility model, the present utility model adopts the following technical solution:

The stator core is fixed to the inner wall of the housing, the windings are inserted into the stator core, and the two ends of the rotor structure's shaft are rotatably connected to the housing.

[0016] As a preferred embodiment, bearing A is a cylindrical roller bearing, and bearing B is a ball bearing.

[0034] like Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, an oil-cooled motor includes a housing 1, a stator core 21, windings 22, and a rotor structure. The stator core 21 is fixed to the inner wall of the housing 1, and the windings 22 are inserted into the stator core 21. The two ends of the rotor structure's shaft are rotatably connected to the housing. One end of the housing 1 is also provided with a rear end cover 10, on which a rotor cooling pipe 11 is provided. One end of the rotor cooling pipe 11 is located at the shaft 31. The side wall of the housing 1 is also provided with a stator cooling pipe 12, which is connected to the cooling oil passages on the stator core.

[0035] like Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, a rotor structure includes a rotating shaft 31, a rotor core 32, and rotor baffles 33. The rotor core 32 is mounted on the rotating shaft 31 and is interference-fitted with the rotating shaft 31. Two rotor baffles 33 are respectively mounted at both ends of the rotor core 32 and are interference-fitted with the rotating shaft 31. One end of the rotating shaft 31 is provided with a gear, and the gear is integrally formed with the rotating shaft 31. An extension ring 4 is also sleeved and fixed on a section of the rotating shaft 31 near the gear. One end of the extension ring 4 abuts against the gear, and the other end abuts against one rotor baffle 33. A steel pressure ring is provided on one side of the other rotor baffle 33.

[0036] The rotating shaft 31 has bearings A7 and B8 at its two ends, respectively. Bearing A7 is a cylindrical roller bearing, and bearing B8 is a ball bearing. The expansion ring 4 has multiple oil injection nozzles 41 (e.g., ...) near the bearing A7. Figure 5 As shown), the central hole inside the rotating shaft 31 forms a central oil passage 311, and the side wall of the rotating shaft 31 is provided with a through hole communicating with the oil injection port 41. The end face of the expansion ring is milled with a slanted groove, which, together with the oil outlet hole of the shaft body, leads the lubricating oil to the cylindrical roller bearing.

[0037] like Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, the outer edge of the rotor baffle 33 is provided with

[0038] Multiple oil injection holes 331 are provided, and multiple ribs are provided on one side of the rotor baffle 33. The multiple ribs surround and form an oil guiding passage 330. The oil injection holes 331 are connected to the oil guiding passage 330. The side wall of the rotating shaft 31 is provided with a through hole that is connected to the oil guiding passage 330.

[0039] The rotor baffle 33 has an oil spraying slope 333 on one side, and the oil spraying hole 331 is located in the oil spraying slope 333. The rotor baffle 33 has an inner oil guiding recess 332 that communicates with the oil spraying hole 331 on the other side.

[0040] A bearing brush 6 is also fixed on the housing 1 or the end cover at one end of the housing, and the bearing brush 6 abuts against the outer wall of the expansion ring 4.

[0041] The oil-cooled motor of this invention has the following advantages:

[0042] 1. The motor shaft and gear are integrated, which reduces the mechanical loss of the reducer and motor spline connection. Power is transmitted directly through two-pole gears, and the input and output are coaxial with high coaxiality.

[0043] 2. The rotor assembly relies on the roller bearing inner ring and expansion ring for step-by-step press-fit positioning. The motor shaft has a small diameter change, and the diameter change is small from the front end (gear end) to the rear end. The shaft blank can be made of tubular material, which also reduces some machining processes and greatly saves the manufacturing cost of the shaft.

[0044] 3. Good lubrication effect: The oil outlet holes on the motor shaft body are respectively matched with the expansion ring and the rotor end plate. By adjusting the size of each oil outlet hole on the shaft, the flow rate of lubricating oil to the cylindrical roller bearing and the stator can be effectively adjusted. A cavity is created between the rotor end plate and the rotor core, and oil outlet holes are added to the outer diameter surface. In conjunction with the oil outlet holes on the shaft body, the lubrication of the rotor core is increased. At the same time, centrifugal force is used to throw the lubricating oil to the stator to cool the stator.

[0045] 4. The expansion ring can be used with bearing brushes to solve the problem of bearing electro-corrosion under high-voltage motors.

[0046] 5. Good NVH performance: The absence of spline order and the shortening of the power transmission path result in less impact on NVH issues such as side frequencies.
