[0045] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the embodiments of this utility model will be described in further detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0046] In some implementations, reference Figures 1-1B The rotor 10 includes a first liquid inlet channel 15, which is axially (i.e., Figure 1 Extending in the X direction (as shown), the rotor 10 has a first end plate 20 and a second end plate 30 on its axial sides respectively. The first end plate 20 has four first Y-shaped grooves 21 and four first V-shaped grooves 22, and the second end plate 30 has four second Y-shaped grooves 31 and four second V-shaped grooves 32. One end of each first Y-shaped groove 21 is a first oil inlet 23, and both ends of each first V-shaped groove 22 are first oil outlets 24. One end of each second Y-shaped groove 31 is a second oil inlet 33, and both ends of each second V-shaped groove 32 are second oil outlets 34.
[0047] The first oil inlet 23 is connected to the first liquid inlet channel 15. The other end of the first Y-shaped groove 21 is divided into two first outlets 25. The two first outlets 25 are connected to the two second oil outlets 34 of the second V-shaped groove 32 through the first channel 11 and the second channel 12 on the rotor 10. That is, one first oil inlet 23 on the first end plate 20 corresponds to two second oil outlets 34 on the second end plate 30. In other words, the first end plate 20 is a one-inlet-two-outlet system (i.e., oil enters from the first oil inlet 23 of the first end plate 20 and flows out from the two second oil outlets 34 of the second end plate 30).
[0048] The second oil inlet 33 is communicated with the first liquid inlet channel 15, and the other end of the second Y-shaped groove 31 is divided into two second outlets 35, which are communicated with the two first oil outlets 24 of the first V-shaped groove 22 through the third channel 13 and the fourth channel 14 on the rotor 10. That is, one second oil inlet 33 on the second end plate 30 corresponds to two first oil outlets 24 on the first end plate 20, that is, the second end plate 30 is one inlet and two outlets (that is, from the second oil inlet 33 of the second end plate 30, and flows out from the two first oil outlets 24 of the first end plate 20).
[0049] That is, the cooling liquid (for example, cooling oil) flows from the first liquid inlet channel 15 of the rotor 10 to the first oil inlet 23, and then to the first Y-shaped groove 21, and is divided into two paths at the two ends of the first Y-shaped groove 21 (that is, the two first outlets 25 mentioned above), and then flows out from the second oil outlet 34 at the two ends of the second V-shaped groove 32 of the second end plate 30 through the first channel 11 and the second channel 12, thereby achieving cooling of the rotor 10 between the first end plate 20 and the second end plate 30.
[0050] However, in this process, due to the centrifugal force during rotation of the rotor 10, the cooling liquid can only flow from the first liquid inlet channel 15 to the first oil inlet 23, and when passing through the first Y-shaped groove 21, the cooling liquid will only flow out from one of the first outlets 25 under the action of the centrifugal force, and then flow to one of the second oil outlets 34 of the second end plate 30 through the first channel 11, and there is no cooling liquid in the second channel 12, which results in that the other half of the rotor 10 cannot be cooled and the cooling effect is poor.
[0051] Similarly, the cooling liquid (for example, cooling oil) flows from the first liquid inlet channel 15 of the rotor 10 to the second oil inlet 33, and then to the second Y-shaped groove 31, and is divided into two paths at the two ends of the second Y-shaped groove 31 (that is, the two second outlets 35 mentioned above), and then flows out from the first oil outlet 24 at the two ends of the first V-shaped groove 22 of the first end plate 20 through the third channel 13 and the fourth channel 14, thereby achieving cooling of the rotor 10 between the first end plate 20 and the second end plate 30.
[0052] However, during this process, due to the centrifugal force during rotor rotation, the coolant can only flow from the first inlet channel 15 to the second oil inlet 33. When passing through the second Y-shaped groove 31, the coolant will only flow out from one of the second outlets 35 under the action of centrifugal force, and flow through the third channel 13 to one of the first oil outlets 24 connected to the first end plate 20. There is no coolant in the fourth channel 14, which means that the other half of the rotor 10 cannot be cooled. Although the same part is used for both end plates, the formed circuit will always only have coolant on one side due to the combined effect of centrifugal force and inertia during the forward / reverse rotation of the motor. Only half of the rotor 10 will be cooled, resulting in poor cooling effect.
[0053] Therefore, in order to solve the problem of poor cooling effect mentioned above, this application provides a rotor cooling structure 100. By designing a new end plate oil groove, the above-mentioned one-in-two-out method is changed to one-in-one-out. The original design circuit is split and combined to form eight independent circuits with shorter paths. Combined with eight independent liquid outlets on the shaft, each cooling circuit operates independently regardless of the direction of the motor rotation, ensuring that the entire rotor 101 is cooled.
[0054] For example, refer to Figures 2-2B This application discloses an electric motor, including a stator (not shown) and a rotor cooling structure 100 described later. The stator surrounds the rotor 101, and the stator is provided with eight first cooling channels 401, eight second cooling channels 402, eight third cooling channels 403, and eight fourth cooling channels 404. The first cooling channels 401 are axially (i.e., Figure 2 The second cooling channel 402 extends along the axial direction (i.e., the X direction shown). Figure 2 The third cooling channel 403 extends along the axial direction (i.e., the X direction shown). Figure 2 The fourth cooling channel 404 extends along the axial direction (i.e., the X direction shown). Figure 2 Extending in the X direction (as shown).
[0055] For example, the rotor cooling structure 100 includes: a rotor 101, a first end plate 200, and a second end plate 300. The rotor 101 includes a first liquid inlet channel 102, which is axially (i.e., Figure 2 Extending in the X direction (as shown), the first end plate 200 and the second end plate 300 are respectively disposed on both axial sides of the rotor 101; the side of the first end plate 200 facing the second end plate 300 is provided with eight first liquid inlets 201 and eight first liquid outlets 202, the eight first liquid inlets 201 being circumferentially (i.e., along the X direction). Figure 2A The eight first liquid outlets 202 are spaced apart in the direction A shown, and are arranged circumferentially (i.e., in the direction A). Figure 2A As shown in direction A, the first liquid inlet 201 and the first liquid outlet 202 are not connected to each other.
[0056] The second end plate 300 has eight second liquid inlets 301 and eight second liquid outlets 302 on the side facing the first end plate 200. The eight second liquid inlets 301 are arranged circumferentially (i.e., Figure 2B The eight second liquid outlets 302 are spaced apart in the direction A shown, and are arranged circumferentially (i.e., along the direction A). Figure 2B As shown in direction A, the second inlet 301 and the second outlet 302 are not connected to each other; the number of second outlets 302 is equal to the number of first inlets 201, and the number of first outlets 202 is equal to the number of second inlets 301. The first inlets 201 are connected to the first inlet channel 102 and the second outlet 302 respectively, and the second inlets 301 are connected to the first inlet channel 102 and the first outlet 202 respectively.

That is, the number of the first liquid inlet 201, the second liquid inlet 301, the first liquid outlet 202, and the second liquid outlet 302 can be five, six, ten, etc.
[0058] Similarly, the number of the first cooling channel 401, the second cooling channel 402, the third cooling channel 403, and the fourth cooling channel 404 is not limited in this embodiment. As long as the number of the first cooling channel 401 and the third cooling channel 403 is equal to the number of the first liquid inlet 201, and the number of the second cooling channel 402 and the fourth cooling channel 404 is equal to the number of the second liquid inlet 301, that is, the number of the first cooling channel 401, the second cooling channel 402, the third cooling channel 403, and the fourth cooling channel 404 can be five, six, ten, etc.
