Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The utility model relates to oil cooling motor technical field, concretely relates to a motor cooling structure, motor and vehicle. BACKGROUND

[0002] With the continuous progress of new energy automobile manufacturing technology, the improvement of unit heat consumption of automobile electric drive system puts forward more severe challenges to motor cooling system. In view of the technical requirement of rotor cooling of new energy automobile electric drive system, the current mainstream scheme is to provide the rotor with a cooling oil inlet channel through a hollow shaft, and to realize effective cooling of the rotor by means of various rotor cooling oil circuits. For example, the oil-cooled motor with built-in oil circuit structure disclosed in CN113241880A includes a casing structure, including a casing body, the casing body is provided with an oil inlet, a casing first oil channel and a casing second oil channel communicated with the oil inlet; an end cover structure, including a first end cover and a second end cover arranged at both ends of the casing body; a stator assembly, including a stator core arranged in the casing body and a stator winding connected with the stator core, the stator core is provided with a core axial oil channel, the core axial oil channel is communicated with the casing first oil channel and the casing second oil channel; a rotor assembly, including a motor spindle clamped in the stator assembly and protruding out of the first end cover, motor bearings arranged at both ends of the motor spindle, and a rotor core connected with the motor spindle; an oil pan arranged at the bottom of the casing body, the oil pan and the casing body form an oil collecting tank. Although the entire oil circuit is designed inside the motor parts, the structure is simple and easy to assemble. However, this oil cooling structure highly depends on the hollow motor shaft as the inlet of cooling oil, not only increases the manufacturing cost, but also requires dynamic sealing between the shaft and the shell to ensure the stability of oil pressure and flow rate at the rotor inlet. However, the introduction of dynamic sealing inevitably brings additional mechanical friction loss, which further reduces the efficiency of the motor.

[0003] Another way is to bypass the center of the motor shaft and guide the cooling oil into the motor rotor through the outer oil channel on the motor shaft. For example, the oil circuit structure of the oil-cooled motor rotor disclosed in CN116404781A includes a housing, a bushing, a rotor core, a first balance plate, a second balance plate, a stator assembly and a rotor shaft; the rotor core, the bushing, the first balance plate and the second balance plate are all sleeved on the rotor shaft, the stator assembly is sleeved on the outer side of the rotor core, the end of the bushing away from the rotor shaft abuts against the housing, the bushing is provided with an annular oil distribution groove and a radial oil hole, the rotor shaft is provided with a plurality of bent oil channels, the bent oil channels are communicated with the annular oil distribution groove and the radial groove, the rotor core is provided with a plurality of axial oil channels, the axial oil channels are communicated with the axial oil outlet holes, and the first balance plate is further provided with an inclined oil outlet hole communicated with the axial oil channels. Although this oil circuit structure avoids the use of hollow shaft, it still needs to carefully design the dynamic sealing structure between the motor shaft and the shell to ensure that the cooling oil can smoothly enter and maintain stable oil pressure and flow rate.

[0004] In summary, the rotor cooling technology of the electric drive system of the new energy vehicle faces many challenges, and needs to be comprehensively considered and optimized in terms of cost control, cooling effect, mechanical efficiency and the like. Practical new type content
