AI Technical Summary
In existing technologies, lubricating oil in new energy commercial vehicles is prone to significant loss when the filter structure is replaced, and the service life of the lubricating oil is longer than that of the filter structure. This makes it impossible to effectively filter metal debris generated by the motor or electric drive bridge, and the excessively high temperature of the lubricating oil affects normal operation.
An oil filtration system was designed, including an electric motor housing, a lubricating oil filter, and an oil filter mounting assembly. The lubricating oil filter is set in the filtration space and the lubricating oil is delivered for filtration by an oil pump assembly. Combined with a heat exchanger and a coolant system, the system achieves efficient filtration and temperature control of the lubricating oil.
This system is easy to disassemble and maintain, avoids excessive loss of lubricating oil, effectively filters impurities and controls temperature, extends the service life of lubricating oil, and ensures the normal operation of the motor or electric drive bridge.

Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This specification relates to the field of new energy commercial vehicle technology, and in particular to an oil filter system for use in new energy commercial vehicles and the new energy commercial vehicle itself. Background Technology
[0002] Typically, the electric motors or electric drive axles of new energy commercial vehicles are filled with a large amount of lubricating oil to ensure their normal operation. However, because the electric motors or electric drive axles may generate impurities such as metal shavings during operation, the lubricating oil usually needs to be filtered. Furthermore, because the electric motors or electric drive axles operate at high temperatures, the lubricating oil often absorbs a large amount of heat, resulting in a high lubricating oil temperature that cannot reach the optimal lubrication temperature.
[0003] In the prior art, a filter structure is usually installed in the oil pan, and a cooling structure is installed on top of the motor or electric drive bridge.
[0004] However, the lifespan of lubricating oil is usually longer than that of the filter structure. When replacing the filter structure located in the oil pan, a large amount of lubricating oil is often lost. Utility Model Content
