[0029] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present utility model, and not all of them. Unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features in the embodiments of this application can be combined with each other. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present utility model.

[0030] Please see Figure 1-5 This utility model provides an electric emergency steering pump, comprising,

[0031] A DC motor 1 has a motor output shaft 11 and a DC contactor 5 is provided on the DC motor 1. The DC contactor 5 controls the motor to start through a small current, thereby improving safety.

[0032] Gear pump 3, with an internal gear pump shaft extension 31 and an oil inlet 32 ​​on its outer surface, wherein the gear pump shaft extension 31 is connected to the motor output shaft 11 via a coupling 4; and

[0033] The central valve block 2 is located between the DC motor 1 and the gear pump 3, and the outer surface of the central valve block 2 is provided with an oil outlet.

[0034] When this electric emergency steering pump is in use, the DC contactor 5 is energized, the DC motor 1 starts, and drives the gear pump 3 to operate through the coupling 4. The oil inlet 32 ​​draws in oil, and the oil outlet provides pressurized oil to the steering system, thereby ensuring vehicle driving safety.

[0035] In one embodiment, there are two oil outlets, distributed on different sides of the central valve block 2.

[0036] Specifically, the two oil outlets are oil outlet P1 21 and oil outlet P2 22, which are located on different sides of the central valve block 2, making it convenient to arrange oil pipes during vehicle installation.

[0037] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 3 One of the two oil outlets is in working condition, and the other oil outlet is sealed by a metal screw plug 7.

[0038] In one embodiment, the central valve block 2 is equipped with a safety valve 8 and a return port T 23. This configuration in this embodiment is intended to protect the electric emergency steering pump from damage due to excessive system pressure.

[0039] In one embodiment, a one-way valve 9 is provided on the central valve block 2. This configuration in this embodiment prevents pressure oil from other oil circuits from backflushing against the gear pump 3 on the electric emergency steering pump.

[0040] In one embodiment, the DC motor 1 is equipped with a temperature control switch 6. This configuration allows the switch to automatically disconnect when the motor is used under heavy load for an extended period and the temperature becomes too high, and then automatically close again once the temperature drops, preventing the motor from burning out due to high temperature.

[0041] In one embodiment, the DC motor 1 is provided with a mounting bracket 14 at its lower end. This configuration facilitates installation and fixation during vehicle assembly.

[0042] In one embodiment, the rear end of the DC motor 1 is provided with a motor rear cover 12, which adopts an integrated fully enclosed structure.

[0043] Preferably, sealant is applied to the motor joint 13 between the motor rear cover 12 and the DC motor body.

[0044] This embodiment is designed in this way, and the use of an integrated fully enclosed structure and sealant can improve the motor protection level and avoid safety accidents caused by water leakage.

[0045] In addition, the DC motor 1 in this application is a 4.5KW DC motor, which is matched with a 5.8mL / r displacement gear pump 3, which can achieve large output flow and output pressure;

[0046] The motor has a fully enclosed structure, with a protection rating of IP54.

[0047] The system employs a structure including a temperature control switch (6), a safety valve (8), and a check valve (9) to ensure reliable operation of the electric emergency steering pump. It is easy to install and arrange on the vehicle, requires no force take-off port, and has controllable costs.

[0048] It should be noted that if the embodiments of this utility model involve directional indicators such as up, down, left, right, front, back, etc., the directional indicators are only used to explain the relative positional relationship and movement of the components in a specific posture as shown in the attached figure. If the specific posture changes, the directional indicators will also change accordingly.

[0049] Furthermore, if the embodiments of this utility model involve descriptions such as "first" or "second," these descriptions are for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying their relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of technical features indicated. Therefore, a feature defined with "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include at least one of those features. Additionally, the meaning of "and / or" throughout the text includes three parallel solutions; for example, "A and / or B" includes solution A, solution B, or a solution where both A and B are satisfied. Furthermore, "multiple" refers to two or more. Moreover, the technical solutions of the various embodiments can be combined with each other, but this must be based on the ability of those skilled in the art to implement them. When the combination of technical solutions is contradictory or impossible to implement, such a combination of technical solutions should be considered non-existent.

[0050] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
