DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0034] The following describes in detail embodiments of the present application, and the embodiments described with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary.

[0035] The electric drive assembly 1 according to an embodiment of the present application is described below with reference to FIG. 1 to FIG. 10 .

[0036] As shown in Figures 1-3, the electric drive assembly 1 according to an embodiment of the present application includes a housing 10, a cooling assembly 20, an oil pump assembly 30, and a filter assembly 40. Housing 10 is the overall outer shell of the electric drive assembly 1, serving as both a mounting and protective mechanism. Cooling assembly 20 primarily cools the cooling oil. Oil pump assembly 30 pumps oil. Filter assembly 40 filters the oil.

[0037] As shown in Figure 1, the cooling assembly 20, the oil pump assembly 30 and the filter assembly 40 are all arranged in the shell 10, so that the cooling assembly 20, the oil pump assembly 30 and the filter assembly 40 can be fixed, making the setting of the cooling assembly 20, the oil pump assembly 30 and the filter assembly 40 more secure, so that the cooling assembly 20, the oil pump assembly 30 and the filter assembly 40 can work more stably. In addition, the shell 10 can also isolate the cooling assembly 20, the oil pump assembly 30 and the filter assembly 40 from the external environment to prevent the external environment from affecting the operation of the cooling assembly 20, the oil pump assembly 30 and the filter assembly 40.

[0038] As shown in FIG1 , an oil chamber 11 is formed at the bottom of the housing 10. The oil chamber 11 is mainly used to store cooling oil. The oil pump assembly 30 is respectively connected to the oil chamber 11 and the cooling assembly 20 to pump the cooling oil in the oil chamber 11 into the cooling assembly 20. That is, when the electric drive assembly 1 needs cooling, the oil pump assembly 30 is controlled to operate, the oil pump assembly 30 pumps out the cooling oil in the oil chamber 11, and then pumps the cooling oil into the cooling assembly 20. The cooling assembly 20 cools the cooling oil to reduce the temperature of the cooling oil. Finally, the cooling oil is passed to the transmission 70 and the motor 80 to cool the transmission 70 and the motor 80 so that the transmission 70 and the motor 80 can work better.

[0039] As shown in Figures 1, 4-10, the filter assembly 40 is disposed within the oil chamber 11. The filter assembly 40 is provided with an oil suction port 41 and an oil discharge port 42. The oil discharge port 42 is connected to the oil pump assembly 30, and the oil suction port 41 is located below the liquid level of the cooling oil within the oil chamber 11. When the filter assembly 40 is disposed within the oil chamber 11, when the vehicle is not rolling, the oil chamber 11 is filled with cooling oil, and the filter assembly 40 is located within the cooling oil. When the oil pump assembly 30 pumps oil through the filter assembly 40, the oil suction port 41 can draw in the cooling oil, and the oil discharge port 42 can discharge the filtered cooling oil back to the oil pump assembly 30.

[0040] When the vehicle rolls, it is understandable that the cooling oil in the oil chamber 11 will also roll accordingly after the vehicle rolls. At this time, it is necessary to ensure that the oil suction port 41 is always located below the liquid level of the cooling oil in the oil chamber 11. When the oil suction port 41 is located below the liquid level of the cooling oil in the oil chamber 11, when the electric drive assembly 1 is working, the oil suction port 41 can still suck the cooling oil into the suction filter component 40, that is, the oil pump component 30 can pump the cooling oil into the cooling component 20, so that the transmission 70 and the motor 80 can be cooled normally.

[0041] Therefore, the oil chamber 11 is set at the bottom of the shell 10, so that the cooling oil can flow back to the oil chamber 11 better, reducing the cooling oil flowing to other positions, and the suction filter assembly 40 is set in the oil chamber 11, so that the cooling oil in the oil chamber 11 can be better pumped out, and when the vehicle rolls, the oil suction port 41 is located below the liquid level of the cooling oil in the oil chamber 11, so that the oil pump assembly 30 can be prevented from being sucked empty, and the oil suction port 41 can still suck the cooling oil into the suction filter assembly 40 to cool the transmission 70 and the motor 80 normally.

[0042] As shown in Figures 4-6, when the vehicle tilts forward, the cooling oil level has a first negotiation position 50 with the bottom of the housing 10. When the vehicle tilts backward, the cooling oil level has a second negotiation position 60 with the bottom of the housing 10. The oil suction port 41 is located between the first negotiation position 50 and the second negotiation position 60. In other words, when the vehicle tilts forward, the cooling oil also tilts forward. At this time, the cooling oil position toward the rear will negotiate with the bottom of the housing 10, that is, the first negotiation position 50. It is understandable that the position forward of this position will be below the cooling oil level. Similarly, when the vehicle tilts backward, the cooling oil also tilts backward. At this time, the cooling oil position toward the front will negotiate with the bottom of the housing 10, that is, the second negotiation position 60. It is understandable that the position backward of this position will be below the cooling oil level. It should be noted that the first negotiation position 50 is located behind the second negotiation position 60. Therefore, between the first and second negotiation positions 50, 60, when the vehicle is tilted forward or backward, the oil suction port 41 is located below the cooling oil level. Positioning the oil suction port 41 between the first and second negotiation positions 50, 60 prevents the oil pump assembly 30 from being drained when the vehicle is tilted forward or backward. The oil suction port 41 can still draw cooling oil into the filter assembly 40, effectively cooling the transmission 70 and motor 80.

[0043] Furthermore, as shown in Figures 4-6 , the cross-section of the oil intake port 41 is constructed into an arc-shaped structure. It should be noted that the positions of the oil level at different inclination angles are determined through simulation or calculation, and the curve of the oil intake port 41 is fitted to these oil level lines. This maximizes the cross-section of the oil intake port 41 while ensuring that the oil intake port 41 is below the oil level at different inclination angles, ensuring that the required oil flow rate is met.

[0044] In addition, as shown in Figures 1 and 7 to 9, the electric drive assembly 1 also includes: a transmission 70 and a motor 80. The transmission 70 is located in the upper left of the oil chamber 11, and the motor 80 is located in the upper right of the oil chamber 11. The transmission 70 and the motor 80 are respectively connected to the oil outlet of the cooling assembly 20. The transmission 70 is mainly used to change the speed and torque of the engine, and the motor 80 can provide electric driving force after operation. The transmission 70 is set in the upper left of the oil chamber 11, and the motor 80 is set in the upper right of the oil chamber 11. Moreover, the transmission 70 and the motor 80 are located at the same height position, which facilitates the arrangement of the transmission 70 and the motor 80, can reduce the space occupied by the transmission 70 and the motor 80, and at the same time, the cooling oil in the oil chamber 11 can be better passed to the transmission 70 and the motor 80. The transmission 70 and the motor 80 are respectively connected to the oil outlet of the cooling component 20, so that the cooling oil can be respectively introduced into the positions of the transmission 70 and the motor 80 after passing through the oil outlet of the cooling component 20, thereby cooling the transmission 70 and the motor 80 and making the transmission 70 and the motor 80 work more stably.

[0045] Of course, as shown in Figures 1, 4-9, the housing 10 is provided with an oil return portion 81. The oil return portion 81 is located below the motor 80 and is tilted toward the oil chamber 11. When the vehicle tilts right, the angle is α, and the angle between the oil return portion 81 and the horizontal plane is β. The relationship between α and β is: β ≥ α. The oil return portion 81 is provided on the housing 10. The oil return portion 81 is located below the motor 80 and is tilted toward the oil chamber 11. This allows the cooling oil passing through the motor 80 to flow back into the oil chamber 11 through the oil return portion 81, thereby forming a circulation within the electric drive assembly 1.

[0046] The angle when the vehicle tilts to the right is α, and the angle between the oil return portion 81 and the horizontal plane is β, β≥α. It can be understood that when the vehicle tilts to the right, the cooling oil will also tilt to the right. At this time, the cooling oil flows to the right as a whole. Since the oil return portion 81 is tilted toward the oil chamber 11, when the angle between the oil return portion 81 and the horizontal plane gradually increases, when the vehicle tilts to the right, the oil return portion 81 will gradually block the cooling oil in the oil chamber 11 from flowing to the right. When the angle between the oil return portion 81 and the horizontal plane is greater than or equal to the angle of the vehicle tilting to the right, when the vehicle tilts to the right, the oil return portion 81 can block the cooling oil in the oil chamber 11 from flowing to the right, so that the cooling oil can be stored in the oil chamber 11, thereby preventing the oil pump assembly 30 from being sucked empty, and the oil suction port 41 can still suck the cooling oil into the filter assembly 40 to cool the transmission 70 and the motor 80 normally.

[0047] In addition, as shown in Figures 7 to 9, the electric drive assembly 1 also includes: a motor end cover 90, which is arranged at the end of the motor 80 away from the transmission 70, and the motor end cover 90 is arranged to protrude toward the inside of the housing 10. The motor end cover 90 is the back cover of the motor 80, which can completely seal and fix the components inside the motor 80 to prevent them from being damaged and failing due to external influences, and can also protect the motor 80 and prevent external objects from entering the interior of the motor 80. The motor end cover 90 is arranged at the end of the motor 80 away from the transmission 70, so that the motor end cover 90 can avoid interfering with the connection between the transmission 70 and the motor 80. In addition, the motor end cover 90 is closer to the housing 10 and can be connected to the outside, which is beneficial to the heat dissipation of the motor 80. The motor end cover 90 is arranged to protrude toward the inside of the housing 10. In this way, the volume of the cavity in the right motor end cover 90 is compressed while ensuring a safe distance from the motor 80, further reducing the amount of oil stored on the motor 80 side, so that more cooling oil on the motor 80 side can flow back into the oil chamber 11, avoiding the oil pump assembly 30 from being sucked empty.

[0048] It should be noted that since the space on one side of the transmission 70 is smaller, when the electric drive assembly 1 tilts to the left as the vehicle does, a large amount of oil will not be stored on the left side of the transmission 70, the oil level will be much higher than the oil suction port 41, and the oil pump assembly 30 will not be sucked empty.

[0049] According to an optional embodiment of the present application, as shown in Figure 3, the oil pump assembly 30 is located diagonally below the output shaft 83 of the motor 80. As will be appreciated, the gears on the output shaft 83 of the motor 80 are smaller, leaving more available space around them. Placing the oil pump assembly 30 diagonally below the output shaft 83 of the motor 80 does not increase the dimensions of the electric drive assembly 1 in any direction, thus making the structure of the electric drive assembly 1 more compact and more integrated. Furthermore, arranging the oil pump assembly 30 diagonally below the output shaft 83 of the motor 80 reduces the distance the oil pump assembly 30 pumps oil, ensuring the oil pump assembly 30's head, and improving the oil pumping efficiency. The oil pump assembly 30's head is defined as the suction head + the pressure head, where the suction head refers to the height of the oil pumped by the oil pump assembly 30. Generally speaking, the smaller the height difference between the oil level and the inlet of the oil pump assembly 30, the better the oil pumping efficiency. However, when the oil temperature is low or the oil resistance is high, there will be head loss. Therefore, the distance the oil pump assembly 30 pumps oil should be minimized.

[0050] Specifically, as shown in FIG10 , the transmission 70 is provided with a first housing 71, and the motor 80 is provided with a second housing 84. The first housing 71 is connected to the second housing 84. The second housing 84 is provided with a suction chamber 85. The suction assembly 40 is disposed in the suction chamber 85. An oil pump pipe 31 is provided between the suction assembly 40 and the oil pump assembly 30. The oil pump pipe 31 is disposed in the first housing 71, and the oil discharge port 42 is disposed opposite to the inlet of the oil pump pipe 31. Connecting the first housing 71 to the second housing 84 fixes the transmission 70 and the motor 80 together, thereby improving the integration of the electric drive assembly 1.

[0051] A suction chamber 85 is provided in the second housing 84, allowing the suction assembly 40 to be positioned within the suction chamber 85. This allows the suction assembly 40 to be secured and stably filter the cooling oil within the suction chamber 85. An oil pump pipe 31 is provided between the suction assembly 40 and the oil pump assembly 30. The oil pump pipe 31 is disposed within the first housing 71, further securing the oil pump pipe 31 and providing greater stability. The oil discharge port 42 is positioned opposite the inlet of the oil pump pipe 31. Cooling oil filtered by the suction assembly 40 can enter the oil pump pipe 31 through the oil discharge port 42 and the inlet of the oil pump pipe 31, thereby entering the oil pump assembly 30. Furthermore, it should be noted that the suction chamber is integrally cast in the housing 10 between the suction port 41 and the inlet of the oil pump pipe 31. This arrangement fully utilizes the space at the bottom of the housing 10 and provides greater flexibility in the placement of the suction port 41.

[0052] Optionally, as shown in FIG10 , the electric drive assembly 1 further includes a seal 100 disposed between the first housing 71 and the second housing 84. The seal 100 can function as a seal. When the first housing 71 and the second housing 84 are connected, the seal 100 can seal the gap between the first housing 71 and the second housing 84, forming a closed oil passage. This allows the cooling oil to enter the pump oil pipe 31 after being filtered through the suction filter assembly 40 from the oil suction port 41, thereby improving the reliability and effectiveness of cooling oil filtration in the electric drive assembly 1.

[0053] The vehicle 2 according to the embodiment of the present application includes: the electric drive assembly 1 of the above embodiment, as shown in FIG11 .
