Detailed Implementation

[0027] The technical solution of this utility model will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0028] like Figures 1-5As shown, an integrated system for a motor and controller in this embodiment includes an integrated housing 1, a controller body 2, and a motor body 3. The controller body 2 and the motor body 3 are sequentially arranged axially inside the integrated housing 1. A motor water jacket 301 is provided on the outside of the motor body 3. A water channel 4 for coolant flow is formed between the integrated housing 1 and the motor water jacket 301. A sealing assembly 5 is provided between the integrated housing 1 and the motor water jacket 301. The motor water jacket 301 is connected to the integrated housing 1 through multiple mounting lugs 302.

[0029] By integrating the controller body 2 and the motor body 3 into a single, unified housing 1, the integration and rigidity of the range extender assembly can be improved. Furthermore, a sealing assembly 5 is provided between the integrated housing 1 and the motor water jacket 301. The integrated housing 1 and the motor water jacket 301 are connected by mounting lugs 302. This results in a small contact area between the two parts, shortening the vibration transmission path and improving NVH performance. Compared to traditional structures, this reduces the number of parts, increases assembly efficiency, and lowers labor costs. In addition, the sealing assembly 5 prevents coolant leakage.

[0030] In this embodiment, a flow channel groove 303 is provided on the outside of the motor water jacket 301, and the water channel 4 is formed between the flow channel groove 303 and the inner wall of the integrated housing 1. By setting the complex shape structure of the flow channel groove 303 used to form the water channel 4 on the outside of the motor water jacket 301, the inner wall of the integrated housing 1 does not need to be provided with a groove structure, which can reduce the manufacturing difficulty of the integrated housing 1, thereby reducing the difficulty of the die casting process of the integrated housing 1.

[0031] In this embodiment, a front flange 101 is provided at the front end of the integrated housing 1. Multiple mounting slots 102 are spaced apart on the front flange 101. Multiple mounting lugs 302 are located at the front end of the motor water jacket 301, and each mounting lug 302 corresponds to a specific mounting slot 102. In this embodiment, the mounting lugs 302 are embedded in the mounting slots 102 of the front flange 101, and the mounting lugs 302 are connected to the front flange 101 by bolts 7.

[0032] The mounting lug 302 conforms to the mounting groove 102, providing positioning during assembly and reducing assembly difficulty. The mounting groove 102 of the front flange 101 has threaded holes, and the mounting lug 302 has bolt through holes. By passing a bolt 7 through the bolt through hole and connecting it to the threaded hole, a detachable connection between the mounting lug 302 and the front flange 101 can be achieved.

[0033] In this embodiment, the motor water jacket 301 is provided with two annular grooves 304, which are located on different sides of the water channel 4; the sealing assembly 5 includes two sealing rings, which are respectively installed on the two annular grooves 304. By also providing the annular grooves 304 on the outside of the motor water jacket 301, the inner wall of the integrated housing 1 does not need to be provided with a groove structure, which can reduce the manufacturing difficulty of the integrated housing 1 and thus reduce the difficulty of the die-casting process of the integrated housing 1.

[0034] In this embodiment, the integrated housing 1 is a one-piece die-cast aluminum alloy structure. The one-piece die-casting of the aluminum alloy gives the integrated housing 1 high strength and high dimensional accuracy, and makes it suitable for mass production.

[0035] In this embodiment, the integrated housing 1 has a controller mounting cavity 103 and a motor mounting cavity 104 arranged sequentially along the axial direction inside. The controller mounting cavity 103 is used to install the controller body 2, and the motor mounting cavity 104 is used to install the motor body 3.

[0036] In this embodiment, a housing cover plate 6 is also included, which is connected to the rear end of the integrated housing 1 by threaded fasteners. The housing cover plate 6 is used to cover the controller mounting cavity 103. The threaded fasteners are easy to install, low in cost, and highly efficient.

[0037] One range extender assembly in this embodiment includes the aforementioned integrated system of motor and controller.

[0038] One vehicle in this embodiment includes the range extender assembly described above.

[0039] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this utility model and are not intended to limit it. Although this utility model has been described in detail with reference to preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications or equivalent substitutions can be made to the technical solutions of this utility model without departing from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of this utility model, and all such modifications or substitutions should be covered within the scope of the claims of this utility model.
