[0020] A controller 8 is installed on the stator support 3, a first oil seal 13 is installed between the first end cover 2b and the wheel shaft 1, a second oil seal 14 is installed between the second end cover 2c and the wheel shaft 1, the motor installation space is filled with coolant, at least one of the first end cover 2b and the second end cover 2c is provided with a lens installation hole 2d, and an observation lens 15 is sealingly installed on the lens installation hole 2d. Therefore, by filling the motor installation space with coolant, not only the built-in controller 8 can be efficiently cooled, but also the coils of the stator winding 4 can be efficiently cooled, which completely solves the heating problem of the wheel hub motor and the controller 8, and improves the performance and braking capacity of the wheel hub motor. At the same time, by installing the observation lens 15 on the first end cover 2b and / or the second end cover 2c, the coolant condition in the motor installation space can be observed very conveniently, which facilitates timely replenishment, so as to ensure continuous and efficient cooling of the coils and the controller 8.
[0021] Further, the coolant is preferably cooling oil, which not only can efficiently cool the coils and the controller 8, but also can lubricate the components in the motor installation space.
[0022] Please refer to Figure 1 A plurality of lens mounting holes 2d are formed on the first end cover 2b and / or the second end cover 2c in a circumferential direction. By arranging a plurality of observation lenses 15, the wheel does not need to be rotated when checking the coolant, and the convenience of the inspection is improved.
