[0034] It should be noted that, during the working of the electronic water pump, the impeller 5 rotates, liquid at the liquid inlet 12 is pumped to the liquid outlet 13, and liquid at the liquid outlet 13 is pumped out; the pressure of liquid close to the liquid inlet 12 of the impeller 5 is lower than the pressure of liquid close to the liquid outlet 13 of the impeller 5.
[0035] It can be known that, liquid flows into the electronic water pump from the liquid inlet 12 of the volute 1, and under the centrifugal action of the impeller 5, the liquid flows to the liquid outlet 13, part of the liquid sequentially flows through the flow gap 41, the annular channel 42, the through hole 31 and the backflow hole 32 and then flows to the liquid inlet 12, forming a first cooling backflow channel, the first backflow channel simultaneously cools the outer side and the inner side of the motor rotor 6 and cools the inner side of the stator 7, and it should be noted that, when the liquid flows through the annular channel 42, the inner side of the rotor 6 and the inner side of the stator 7 can be cooled, and the space between the outer wall of the rotor 6 and the inner wall of the sleeve can be lubricated under the action of the liquid; and the structure is fixed by the lower end of the spacer sleeve 4 and the rotating shaft 3, and the impeller 5 and the rotor 6 are fixedly connected together, through such a structure, during installation, the sleeve and the rotating shaft 3 are sleeved into the shell 2, the rotor 6 and the impeller 5 are sleeved onto the rotating shaft 3, and finally the volute 1 is covered, so that the installation is completed, the whole installation process is convenient, the number of parts of the whole device is greatly reduced, the design structure is simplified, the structure of the electronic water pump is simplified under the premise of meeting the internal cooling requirement of the electronic water pump, the production and manufacturing cost is reduced, and the stability of the electronic water pump is improved.
[0036] It is worth noting that the liquid in the present application can be water, antifreeze or other liquids.
[0037] Further, the rotating shaft 3 and the spacer sleeve 4 are integrally formed. Specifically, the rotating shaft 3 and the spacer sleeve 4 are produced by injection molding, and the material of the rotating shaft 3 and the spacer sleeve 4 is engineering plastic.
[0038] It can be known that, by adopting the structure of integral injection molding of the mold, compared with the structure of assembling and fixing of two parts, the coaxiality of the rotating shaft 3 and the spacer sleeve 4 and the perpendicularity of the end faces of the rotating shaft 3 and the spacer sleeve 4 can be better guaranteed. Secondly, the number of parts is reduced, the assembly difficulty is reduced, which is conducive to improving the assembly efficiency and reducing the production cost. It should be noted that the frame of the impeller 5 and the rotor 6 can be produced by investment casting, and then the permanent magnet needs to be embedded in the rotor 6, and the rotor 6 needs to be plasticized to improve the stability of the rotor 6.
[0039] Further, the rotating shaft 3 is provided with a positioning step 33, the volute 1 is provided with a positioning boss 14, the positioning step 33 and the positioning boss 14 are arranged opposite to each other, and the impeller 5 and the rotor 6 are limited between the positioning step 33 and the positioning boss 14. Specifically, the positioning boss 14 is fixed on the volute 1 by a connecting rod.
[0040] It can be known that, by the positioning step 33 on the rotating shaft 3 and the positioning boss 14 on the volute 1, the impeller 5 and the rotor 6 are axially limited to prevent the impeller 5 and the rotor 6 from axially moving during work.
[0041] Further, the outer periphery of one end of the impeller 5 close to the water inlet of the volute 1 is arranged with an annular step 51, a gap 52 is arranged between the outer periphery of the impeller 5 and the volute 1, and the annular step 51 and the gap 52 are correspondingly arranged; the outer periphery of the annular step 51 and the inner wall of the volute 1 are tightly matched. Specifically, the annular step 51 is arranged at one end of the gap 52 close to the liquid inlet 12, i.e. the upper end of the impeller 5.
[0042] It can be known that, the liquid enters the volute 1 from the liquid inlet 12, and flows towards the liquid outlet 13 under the pumping action of the impeller 5, part of the liquid backflows to the liquid inlet 12 to form leakage through the gap 52, and such leakage directly leads to the decrease of the energy utilization rate of the electronic water pump. By the arrangement of the annular step 51, the annular step 51 reduces the gap between the impeller 5 and the volute 1, and the annular step 51 is arranged at one end of the impeller 5 close to the liquid inlet 12, thereby forming a barrier to the liquid leaking from the gap 52, reducing the leakage amount, and improving the energy utilization rate of the electronic water pump. It is worth noting that the annular step 51 is formed by mechanical cutting, so that the gap between the annular step 51 and the volute 1 is as small as possible, thereby preventing the leakage of the liquid as much as possible.
[0043] Further, the impeller 5 and the middle part of the rotor 6 are coaxially provided with a mounting hole 53, the mounting hole 53 is arranged through the impeller 5 and the rotor 6, and the impeller 5 and the rotor 6 are coaxially rotatably mounted on the rotating shaft 3 through the mounting hole 53.
[0044] It can be known that the whole shell formed by the impeller 5 and the rotor 6 is conveniently coaxially sleeved on the rotating shaft 3 through the mounting hole 53, and the installation and fixation of the rotor 6 and the impeller 5 are conveniently realized.
[0045] Further, the inner wall of the impeller 5 and the rotor 6 is provided with a lubricating groove 54, the lubricating groove 54 is arranged along the axis direction of the mounting hole 53, and the first end of the lubricating groove 54 is communicated with the liquid inlet 12, and the second end of the lubricating groove 54 is communicated with the liquid outlet 13 through the annular channel 42 and the flow gap 41.
[0046] It can be known that the liquid of the liquid inlet 12 is transported to the liquid outlet 13 through the pumping action of the impeller 5, part of the liquid sequentially passes through the flow gap 41, the annular channel 42, the through hole 31, and is returned to the liquid inlet 12 through the lubricating groove 54, forming a second cooling return channel, the inside of the motor rotor 6 is cooled through the second return channel, and the liquid is introduced into the outside of the rotating shaft 3 and the inside of the rotor 6, so that the rotor 6 and the impeller 5 form a liquid film on the outer surface of the rotating shaft 3 and the inner surface of the mounting hole 53 when rotating relative to the rotating shaft 3, reducing the friction between the outer surface of the rotating shaft 3 and the inner surface of the mounting hole 53, reducing the resistance, and improving the energy utilization rate of the electronic water pump.
[0047] Further, the lubricating groove 54 is arranged in multiple, and the multiple lubricating grooves 54 are uniformly and spacedly arranged along the circumferential direction of the hole wall of the mounting hole 53.
[0048] It can be known that by uniformly and spacedly arranging along the circumferential direction of the hole wall of the mounting hole 53, the liquid can smoothly enter between the rotating shaft 3 and the rotor 6, and form a liquid film for lubrication, and the liquid directly contacts the inner wall of the rotor 6, realizing uniform cooling of the inner wall of the rotor 6. In addition, because the liquid has pressure, it will form a thrust on the rotating shaft 3 and the rotor 6, and the uniformly and spacedly arranged multiple lubricating grooves 54 can offset the thrust formed by the liquid, thereby preventing the rotor 6 or the rotating shaft 3 from deflecting to one side and causing the rotor 6 or the rotating shaft 3 to be deflected and abraded.
[0049] Further, the outer surface of the spacer sleeve 4 is arranged with a convex strip 43, the convex strip 43 is arranged in multiple, and the multiple convex strips 43 are uniformly distributed on the outer surface of the spacer sleeve 4, and the spacer sleeve 4 is connected with the stator 7 through interference fit through the convex strip 43.
[0050] It can be known that the stator 7 is fixedly connected in the shell 2 in a manner of interference fit, the spacer sleeve 4 is coaxially sleeved in the shell 2, and the spacer sleeve 4 is coaxially sleeved in the stator 7; the inner wall of the stator 7 is correspondingly provided with a groove; the convex strip 43 on the outer surface of the spacer sleeve 4 is correspondingly and fixedly connected with the groove in the stator 7, and the spacer sleeve 4 is circumferentially limited, thereby preventing the spacer sleeve 4 and the rotating shaft 3 from rotating with the rotor 6 in the rotating process. The spacer sleeve 4 and the volute 1 are sealingly connected through a sealing ring, and the spacer sleeve 4 and the shell 2 are sealingly connected through a sealing ring.
[0051] Further, the control circuit board 8 is further arranged, the bottom of the shell 2 is provided with a containing cavity 21, the control circuit board 8 is arranged on the inner wall of the containing cavity 21 close to the spacer sleeve 4, the side close to the control circuit board 8 of the cooling cavity 111 is provided with a fin 22, the fin 22 is fixedly connected on the shell 2, and the fin 22 extends towards the direction close to the spacer sleeve 4.
[0052] It can be known that the control panel is used for switching on and off the stator 7 coil, thereby indirectly controlling the rotor 6 to rotate at a set rotating speed. Because the control circuit board 8 is also prone to heat, the fin 22 is arranged to cool the control circuit board 8, and the heat on the fin 22 is taken away when the liquid flows through the fin 22, thereby achieving cooling of the fin 22 and the control circuit board 8.
[0053] Further, the control circuit board 8 and the shell 2 are arranged with a heat-conducting layer 9. Specifically, the heat-conducting layer 9 is formed by applying heat-conducting glue.
[0054] It can be known that when the heat-conducting layer 9 is not arranged, there is a gap between the control circuit board 8 and the bottom wall of the shell 2, and the gap is filled with air, and the heat-conducting performance of the air is poor. By arranging the heat-conducting layer 9, the gap is filled, so that the heat generated on the control circuit board 8 can be smoothly transmitted to the shell 2 through the heat-conducting layer 9 and dissipated through the fin 22. The heat-conducting layer 9 is composed of heat-conducting glue.

For those skilled in the art, the utility model can have various changes and variations. Any modification, equivalent replacement, improvement, etc. made within the spirit and principle of the utility model shall be included in the protection scope of the utility model.
