Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of motor technology, and in particular to an oil-cooled motor heat dissipation structure and motor. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, new energy vehicles powered by electric motors are widely used. As the core of new energy vehicles, the operating efficiency of drive motors is receiving increasing attention, and the requirements for motor specifications are becoming more and more stringent.

[0003] As motors evolve towards lower cost, smaller size, and higher power density, heat dissipation becomes increasingly important. Motor cooling methods generally include air cooling, water cooling, and oil cooling. However, water cooling and air cooling suffer from low heat dissipation efficiency and large space requirements. Oil-cooled motors, with their superior heat dissipation performance, are gradually becoming the mainstream in the market, making oil cooling technology a hot research area for motor heat dissipation.

[0004] During the operation of an electric motor, the stator winding is one of the main heat-generating components. Currently, the commonly used oil cooling method for cooling stator windings is spray cooling. However, the coolant transmission channel is usually located outside the stator core. This not only increases the space occupied by the components inside the motor, but also results in extremely poor cooling efficiency and low utilization of the coolant, which has significant limitations.

[0005] Based on the above background, an oil-cooled motor heat dissipation structure and a motor are proposed to solve the problem. Utility Model Content

[0012] In some embodiments, an external heat exchange medium is installed on the heat exchanger.

[0013] In some embodiments, a rotor core is embedded within the stator core.

[0014] In some embodiments, the oil injection port includes a radial oil injection port and an axial oil injection port, both of which are used to spray coolant toward the stator winding, and the axial oil injection port is installed axially at an angle in the manifold.

Detailed Implementation

[0036] The following detailed description of the embodiments of this utility model, in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, will provide a thorough understanding of how this utility model uses technical means to solve technical problems and achieve technical effects, enabling its implementation. It should be noted that, provided there is no conflict, the various embodiments and features within them can be combined with each other, and all resulting technical solutions are within the protection scope of this utility model.

[0037] Furthermore, numerous specific details are set forth in the following description for illustrative purposes to provide a thorough understanding of the embodiments of this invention. However, it will be apparent to those skilled in the art that this invention may be practiced without the specific details or particular methods described herein.

[0038] Please see Figure 1-8 This utility model provides a heat dissipation structure for an oil-cooled motor, comprising: a housing 1, a stator core 2 that is in contact with the inner circular surface of the housing 1, a stator winding 3 embedded in the stator core 2, a coolant inlet 4 opened on the housing 1, a first circumferential diversion groove 5 arranged on the stator core 2 and communicating with the coolant inlet 4, and a busbar 6 installed on the stator winding 3 and located on both sides of the stator core 2. The busbar 6 is in contact with the inner circular surface of the housing 1, and a second circumferential diversion groove 7 is provided between the busbar 6 and the stator core 2. The first circumferential diversion groove 5 and the second circumferential diversion groove 7 are connected by a coolant channel 8, which is opened in the stator core 2. An oil spray nozzle 9 is provided in the busbar 6, and the oil spray nozzle 9 faces the stator winding 3. The two sides of the stator winding 3 extend beyond the end face of the stator core 2.

[0039] When cooling the stator winding 3, the coolant enters the housing 1 through the coolant inlet 4. As the stator core 2 comes into contact with the inner circular surface of the housing 1, the coolant flows into the first circumferential diversion groove 5 on the stator core 2. The first circumferential diversion groove 5 diverts the coolant to the coolant channel 8, and then the coolant flows through the coolant channel 8 to the second circumferential diversion groove 7. The second circumferential diversion groove 7 diverts the coolant to the manifold 6, and the oil spray nozzle 9 in the manifold 6 sprays the coolant onto the stator winding 3, thereby effectively and quickly cooling it.

[0040] According to some embodiments of this application, optionally, at least one coolant outlet 10 is provided on the lower side of the housing 1. This serves to discharge the coolant sprayed onto the stator windings 3 out of the housing 1.

[0041] According to some embodiments of this application, optionally, an oil pan 11 is provided at the bottom outer side of the housing 1 for collecting the coolant discharged from the coolant outlet 10. This serves to collect the discharged coolant.

[0042] According to some embodiments of this application, optionally, the oil pan 11 is connected to an external pipeline, which includes an oil filter 12, an oil pump 13, and a heat exchanger 14. One side of the oil filter 12 is connected to the oil pan 11, and the other side is connected to the oil pump 13. The pipeline of the oil pump 13 is connected to the coolant inlet 4 through the heat exchanger 14. The oil pump 13 draws in the coolant, and during the drawing process, it passes through the oil filter 12, which filters impurities from the coolant. The drawn coolant is cooled by the heat exchanger 14, and then introduced into the housing 1 through the coolant inlet 4 to cool the stator winding 1 again. This cycle not only improves the utilization rate of the coolant but also allows for long-term cooling of the stator winding 1, enabling the stator winding 1 to maintain long-term operation and improving the working efficiency of the motor.

[0043] According to some embodiments of this application, optionally, an external heat exchange medium 15 is installed on the heat exchanger 14. This results in better heat exchange performance.

[0044] According to some embodiments of this application, optionally, a rotor core 16 is embedded within the stator core 2. This serves to enhance the magnetic field of the motor.

[0045] According to some embodiments of this application, optionally, the oil injection port 9 includes a radial oil injection port 17 and an axial oil injection port 18, both used to spray coolant onto the stator winding 3. The axial oil injection port 18 is installed axially at an angle in the manifold 6. Coolant enters the manifold 6 and is sprayed onto the stator winding 3 via the radial oil injection port 17 and the axial oil injection port 18, achieving multi-directional spraying, resulting in more comprehensive and rapid cooling of the stator winding 3, and improved cooling efficiency.

[0046] Please see Figure 9 The axial oil injection port 18 has a certain tilt angle and faces the end of the stator winding 3. It is designed for the low height of the end of the stator winding 3, which requires directional spraying of the end of the stator winding 3. By adjusting the angle (tilt angle) of the axial oil injection port 18 relative to the axial direction, the oil can be effectively sprayed onto the end of the stator winding 3, thereby further achieving good heat dissipation.

[0047] According to some embodiments of this application, optionally, the cross-section of the axial oil injection port 18 can be cylindrical, conical, or elliptical. The position of the spray point can be adjusted to optimize the uniformity of coolant sprayed from the axial oil injection port 18 onto the stator winding 3.

[0048] According to some embodiments of this application, optionally, a plurality of radial oil injection ports 17 and axial oil injection ports 18 are arranged in the manifold 6 along the circumferential direction. This allows for different spray volumes at different positions of the stator winding 3; more ports are available at higher temperatures, where cooling requirements are greater, and therefore, a larger spray volume is required.

[0049] An electric motor includes the aforementioned oil-cooled motor heat dissipation structure. This motor has a stronger heat dissipation capacity.
