Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to an automatic water replenishment device for high-temperature oil resistance testing of oil-cooled electric drive systems, belonging to the field of insulation system testing technology. Background Technology
[0002] In the oil compatibility test of the oil-cooled electric drive system, there are three key factors: temperature, moisture, and oil. Among them, the test oil and temperature are relatively easy to determine, while moisture is relatively difficult to determine mainly because the actual operating conditions of the motor are more complex, including the saturation of the insulation material absorbing water, the oil seal rotating and drawing in external air, the breather valve drawing in air (exchange) due to high and low temperature changes, and the system seal failure leading to the entry of external water.
[0003] To simulate real-world working environments, the CEEIA 415-2019 standard first mentioned a water content of 5000 ppm in the compatibility test of electric drive insulation materials. This test is conducted in a sealed container. However, the moisture in the sealed container will not completely evaporate, and sealed containers equipped with vent valves cannot guarantee the stability of the moisture content. For example, at a sustained high temperature of 150°C, the moisture in the oil will continuously evaporate and quickly be discharged through the vent valve. Therefore, in non-sealed containers, it is necessary to continuously inject water to maintain a certain moisture content. Thus, there is an urgent need in this field for an automatic water replenishment device for high-temperature oil resistance testing of oil-cooled electric drive systems. Utility Model Content

Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of this utility model.
[0019] Reference Figure 1 An automatic water replenishment device for high-temperature oil resistance testing of an oil-cooled electric drive system includes a computer 1 and an automatic water replenishment component. The automatic water replenishment component is connected to the test tank 5 and electrically connected to the computer 1, thereby controlling the automatic water replenishment component to perform real-time water replenishment operation into the test tank 5 through the computer 1.
[0020] The automatic water replenishment component includes a water pump 2, a relay 3, and a solenoid valve 4. The computer 1 is connected to the water pump 2 and the relay 3 respectively. The computer 1 has software pre-set to control the flow rate, start and stop, and running interval of the water pump 2. The running interval of the water pump 2 is calculated based on the pre-measured water evaporation rate. The inlet of the water pump 2 is connected to an external water source, and the outlet of the water pump 2 is connected to the test tank 5 through a water supply pipeline. At least one solenoid valve 4 is installed on the water supply pipeline. During actual testing, the number of solenoid valves 4 is increased or decreased as needed. The solenoid valves 4 are electrically connected to the relay 3. In this embodiment, the control of the water pump 2 and the solenoid valve 4 by the computer 1 is existing technology and will not be described in detail.

The computer 1 has preset temperature control software and is electrically connected to the environmental chamber 7 to adjust the temperature inside the environmental chamber 7. The environmental chamber 7 is also equipped with a temperature sensor (not shown in the figure) that is signal-connected to the computer 1. During the test, the temperature inside the environmental chamber 7 is adjusted to a specified range by the computer 1 according to preset conditions, and is monitored in real time by the temperature sensor, thereby ensuring that the high-temperature oil resistance test is always in the optimal temperature state. In this embodiment, the connection and use of the environmental chamber 7 and the temperature sensor are existing technologies and will not be described in detail.

[0023] During testing, the operating conditions, flow rate, and speed are set in the software. The environmental chamber 7 is turned on for testing. When the set conditions are met (such as a certain time interval, the environmental chamber 7 reaching a specified temperature, etc.), the computer 1 controls the solenoid valves 4 to open all or sequentially, and then the water pump 2 is turned on to supply water. After the specified conditions are met, the water supply is stopped, the water pump 2 is turned off, and the system waits for the next condition to be met, and so on in a cycle.
