Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of electronic water pumps and their components, specifically a pump cover for reducing pulsating pressure and an electronic water pump using the same. Background Technology
[0002] Electric water pumps have high output efficiency and can achieve precise flow control. Therefore, they are widely used in automobiles, home appliances and industrial equipment. In particular, new energy vehicles usually have two or more electric water pumps. The electric water pump is the power source of the entire cooling system of new energy vehicles. The power battery, drive motor and other components of new energy vehicles all rely on the electric water pump to drive the coolant for circulation and cooling.
[0003] The pump cover is one of the important components of an electric water pump. It not only forms part of the outer shell, but more importantly, the inlet and outlet of the electric water pump are both located on the pump cover, which forms the main inlet and outlet channels of the electric water pump. In addition, a flow guiding structure is formed on the inner side of the pump cover. This flow guiding structure can guide the flow direction of the liquid medium in the chamber of the electric water pump, thereby improving the performance of the electric water pump.
[0004] like Figure 1 As shown, in existing electronic water pumps, the flow guiding structure formed by the pump cover 1 still has certain drawbacks: In order to improve the efficiency of the electronic water pump, the pump cover 1 is generally equipped with a baffle 2. However, with the rapid development of the new energy vehicle industry, the requirements for lightweight and high efficiency of electronic water pumps have been put forward, which makes the impeller of the electronic water pump rotate at a high speed during operation. Every time the impeller rotates, its blades will have strong dynamic and static interference with the baffle 2, which will cause the liquid medium to generate pulsating pressure. This pulsating pressure will cause the electronic water pump to vibrate and generate noise.
[0005] In conclusion, in order to reduce the vibration and noise of the electric water pump, it is necessary to improve the structure of the tongue at the pump cover. Utility Model Content

Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the utility model, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the utility model, all the other embodiments obtained by the ordinary skilled in the art without creative labor fall within the protection scope of the utility model.
[0023] The embodiment provides a pump cover for reducing pulsating pressure, which can be applied to an electronic water pump and forms a cavity and guides the flow direction of liquid medium in the cavity as a housing component of the electronic water pump.
[0024] Please refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3 The pump cover for reducing pulsating pressure in the embodiment comprises a pump cover body 1.
[0025] The pump cover body 1 is an integrally injection molded engineering plastic cover body, or can also be an integrally die-cast or integrally machined metal cover body.
[0026] The inner side of the pump cover body 1 forms a liquid medium flow guide part 2 for guiding the flow direction of liquid medium.
[0027] The pump cover body 1 is further formed with a water outlet 12, which is actually a short pipe-shaped structure feature integrally formed at the pump cover body 1 and communicates the inner and outer sides of the pump cover body 1, and the inlet of the water outlet 12 is connected to the end of the liquid medium flow guide part 2.

[0029] Specifically, the baffle portion 23 comprises a root step 231 connected to the inner wall of the pump cover body 1, and an end step 232 superposed on the root step 231, in this way, the baffle portion 23 is configured as a two-stage step structure; in fact, the inner wall of the pump cover body 1 is pulled up to form the root step 231, and a part of the root step 231 is further pulled up to form the end step 232.
[0030] Further specifically, in order to guide the flow direction of the liquid medium, the liquid medium guide portion 2 of the pump cover body 1 is configured as a spiral and end-to-end guide spiral wall 21, wherein the end-to-end specifically refers to that the two ends of the guide spiral wall 21 are misaligned to connect, so as to form an opening at the end of the guide spiral wall 21.
[0031] Further specifically, the liquid medium guide portion 2 of the pump cover body 1 has a guide inner cavity 22 on the inner side of the guide spiral wall 21, in fact, the guide inner cavity 22 is an arc-shaped inner recess structure feature integrally formed on the inner wall of the pump cover body 1 and located on the inner side of the guide spiral wall 21, through which the liquid medium can be provided with sufficient flow space.
[0032] Specifically, the pump cover body 1 is formed with a water inlet 11 coaxial with the liquid medium guide portion 2, in fact, the water inlet 11 is a short tubular structure feature integrally formed on the pump cover body 1, which communicates the inside and outside of the pump cover body 1.
[0033] Please refer to Figure 2 Further, a central axis L1 is defined, which at least passes through the axis of the water inlet 11 and the inlet of the water outlet 12; a root step 231 connecting line L2 is defined, which at least passes through the axis of the water inlet 11 and the end face of the root step 231 of the baffle portion 23; an end step 232 connecting line L3 is defined, which at least passes through the axis of the water inlet 11 and the end face of the end step 232 of the baffle portion 23; then: the central axis L1 and the root step 231 connecting line L2 have an included angle θ a between them in space, and the central axis L1 and the end step 232 connecting line L3 have an included angle θ b between them in space.
[0034] It should be noted that the central axis L1 is perpendicular to the axis of the water inlet 11 and passes through the geometric midpoint of the inlet of the water outlet 12; the root step 231 connecting line L2 is perpendicular to the axis of the water inlet 11 and passes through the geometric midpoint of the end face of the root step 231 of the baffle portion 23; the end step 232 connecting line L3 is perpendicular to the axis of the water inlet 11 and passes through the geometric midpoint of the end face of the end step 232 of the baffle portion 23; the included angle θ a, specifically, the included angle of the projection of the connecting line L2 between the central axis L1 and the root step 231 on the horizontal plane (the plane perpendicular to the central axis L1); the included angle θ of the connecting line L2 between the central axis L1 and the root step 231 b , specifically, the included angle of the projection of the connecting line L3 between the central axis L1 and the end step 232 on the horizontal plane (the plane perpendicular to the central axis L1).

[0038] The embodiment also provides an electronic water pump comprising the pump cover for reducing pressure pulsation.
[0039] When the impeller assembly of the electronic water pump is in operation, the liquid medium can be driven to flow, so that a negative pressure is formed at the water inlet 11 of the pump cover body 1, and the liquid medium outside the electronic water pump can be sucked into the pump cover body 1 through the water inlet 11 and reach the flow guide inner cavity 22; the liquid medium in the flow guide inner cavity 22 flows under the driving of the impeller assembly and is guided by the flow guide spiral wall 21 to reach the water outlet 12 of the pump cover body 1, so as to be discharged to the outside of the water outlet 12 at a certain pressure; in the above process, when the liquid medium reaches the baffle portion 23, the baffle portion 23 is configured in a stepped structure, so that the liquid medium can smoothly pass through the baffle portion 23, the axial impact acceleration of the liquid medium on the baffle portion 23 is reduced, the processed baffle portion 23 greatly reduces the pressure pulsation of the liquid medium, and vibration and noise of the electronic water pump are effectively avoided.
