As shown in
By means of the foregoing arrangement, according to the disclosure, the cooling oil passages 112 in communication with each other are formed, and the oil intake pipeline 2 is in communication with the cooling oil passages 112, so that the cooling oil can enter the cooling oil passages 112 and flow inside the cooling oil passages 112 in the axial direction of the stator 1, so as to cool the interior of the stator 1 formed by stacking the plurality of first laminations 11 in the axial direction of the first laminations 11. Further, in the electric motor for a vehicle according to the disclosure, the cooling oil passages 112 are further arranged to enable the cooling oil to flow in the axial direction of the stator 1, and also enable the cooling oil to flow between a plurality of cooling oil passages 112 in the radial direction of the stator 1, so as to increase a flow path of the cooling oil inside the stator 1. This, compared with a plurality of independent cooling oil passages, further enables the oil temperature to be more balanced, has a better cooling effect, and also provides a longer flow path and more routes, thereby further increasing a heat exchange area inside the stator 1, and improving the cooling effect on the interior of the stator 1. This solves the problems usually existing in the existing electric motor for a vehicle that during spraying and cooling of the outer surface of the iron core, a heat dissipation area of the outer surface of the iron core is small, and a convective heat transfer coefficient of a heat dissipation surface is small, and is greatly affected by a direction of gravity.
In addition, in this embodiment, the number of oil passage holes 111 formed in the first laminations 11 may be set according to different cooling requirements of the electric motor.
Further referring to
As shown in
It should be noted that in this embodiment, the arrangement positions and the number of oil passage holes 111 in the first laminations 11 may be set according to actual requirements, to meet the design requirements that the cooling oil passages 112 according to any implementation shown in
By means of the foregoing arrangement, in the electric motor for a vehicle in this embodiment, the plurality of first laminations 11 are stacked in such a way that oil passage holes 111 in two adjacent first laminations 11 are in a staggered alignment, to form staggered cooling oil passages 112. This increases the flow path of the cooling oil in the cooling oil passages 112 and increases the heat exchange area inside the stator 1, so as to improve the cooling effect on the interior of the stator 1. In addition, the plurality of first laminations 11 are stacked in such a way that oil passage holes 111 in two adjacent first laminations 11 are in a staggered alignment, to enable the cooling oil to flow in the axial direction of the stator 1, and also enable the cooling oil to flow between the plurality of cooling oil passages 112 in the radial direction of the stator 1, so as to further improve the cooling effect on the interior of the stator 1.
As shown in
Through the foregoing arrangement, in the electric motor for a vehicle in this embodiment, further, the second lamination 12 is arranged in the stator 1, the second lamination 12 is provided with a pressure relief hole 121, the pressure relief hole 121 has a diameter greater than that of the oil passage hole 111, and at least one second lamination 12 is arranged between two first laminations 11. Since the pressure relief hole 121 formed in the second lamination 12 has a diameter greater than that of each oil passage hole 111 formed in the first laminations 11, after flowing out of the oil passage holes 111 above the second lamination 12, the cooling oil flows into the pressure relief hole 121 formed in the second lamination 12, so that the pressure is reduced, and then during the flowing of the cooling oil from the pressure relief hole 121 into the oil passage holes 111 below the second lamination 12, the pressure relief hole 121 can relieve the pressure of the cooling oil to enable the cooling oil to flow more smoothly in the cooling oil passages 112. By means of the flow guide function of the pressure relief hole 121, the pressure drop of the cooling oil during the flow is reduced, so as to further improve the cooling effect on the interior of the stator 1 through the flow of the cooling oil in the cooling oil passages 112.
As shown in
In this embodiment, the side walls of the oil passage holes 111 are provided with the disturbance protrusions 113, so that during the flow of the cooling oil in the cooling oil passages 112, a heat dissipation area inside the stator 1 is increased, and the flow disturbance effect of the cooling oil is enhanced, thereby further improving the heat dissipation capability inside the stator 1.
Further, as shown in
Through the foregoing arrangement, in this embodiment, the side wall of the pressure relief hole 121 is provided with the disturbance protrusion 113, so that during the flow of the cooling oil through the pressure relief hole 121, a heat exchange area inside the stator 1 can be further increased under the effect of the disturbance protrusion 113 on the side wall of the pressure relief hole 121, and the disturbance effect of the cooling oil is enhanced, thereby further improving the cooling effect inside the stator 1.
As shown in
In this embodiment, on the one hand, by configuring the cross-section of the oil passage hole 111 as a rectangular hole, necessary structural features are provided to enable the cooling oil to flow in the cooling oil passages 112, and on the other hand, by configuring the cross-section of the oil passage hole 111 as a rectangular hole, the machining of the oil passage hole 111 is easy to operate, and machining costs are reduced.
As shown in
It should be noted that in this embodiment, the axis of each oil passage hole 111 being not parallel to the thickness direction of each first lamination 11 means that the axis of the oil passage hole 111 forms an angle a with respect to the thickness direction of the first lamination 11, as shown in
Through the foregoing arrangement, in the stator 1 of this embodiment, each oil passage hole 111 is arranged in such a way that the axis of the oil passage hole 111 is not parallel to the thickness direction of the first lamination 11, so that the flow path of the cooling oil is increased when the cooling oil flows through the oil passage hole 111, thereby increasing the heat exchange area inside the stator 1 and improving the cooling effect inside the stator 1.
As shown in
Through the foregoing arrangement, the cross-section of each oil passage hole 111 is configured as a trapezoidal hole, so that when the cooling oil flows through the oil passage hole 111, the flow path of the cooling oil is increased, thereby increasing the heat exchange area inside the stator 1 to improve the heat dissipation effect inside the stator 1. In addition, with the cross-section of the oil passage hole 111 being configured as a trapezoidal hole, the aperture sizes of the oil passage hole 111 in the axial direction of the oil passage hole 111 are different, and thus the flow rate of the cooling oil is constantly changed during flowing in the oil passage hole 111, so as to further improve the cooling effect inside the stator 1.
It should be noted that in this embodiment, when the cross-section of each oil passage hole 111 is set to be trapezoidal, the stacking form of two adjacent first laminations 11 is as shown in
In this embodiment, the cross-section of each oil passage hole 111 is configured as a stepped hole, so that when the cooling oil flows through the stepped hole as the cross-section, the cooling oil flows down along a side wall of the stepped hole as the cross-section, and under the action of the step-shaped side wall, the flow path of the cooling oil in the oil passage hole 111 is increased, so as to increase the heat exchange area inside the stator 1, so that the cooling effect on the stator 1 can be further improved.
It should be noted that in this embodiment, the number of steps in the stepped hole as the cross-section may be set according to actual cooling requirements for the electric motor, to meet requirements for vehicle performance. The more steps there are, the longer the flow path of the cooling oil in the oil passage hole 111, the larger the heat exchange area inside the stator 1, the better the heat dissipation effect inside the stator 1, and the better the cooling effect on the stator 1. However, as the number of steps increases, the machining difficulty of the oil passage hole 111 is greater, and the machining cost is higher.
It should be noted that, as shown in

Therefore, an oil path is formed in which the cooling oil enters the cooling oil passages 112 from the oil intake pipeline 2, then flows out from the cooling oil passages 112 and enters the cooling oil ring 3 through the cooling oil inlet 32, and is finally sprayed from the oil spray holes 31, in directions shown by the arrows in
In the electric motor for a vehicle in this embodiment, under the action of an internal pressure of each cooling oil ring 3, the cooling oil is sprayed from the oil spray holes 31 formed in the side wall of the cooling oil ring 3, so that the cooling oil flows in the oil path to provide a spray effect on the end portion of the winding of the electric motor, and then meet requirements for cooling the end portion of the winding of the electric motor by the cooling oil rings 3.

Further, in the electric motor for a vehicle according to the disclosure, the cooling oil passages 112 are further arranged to enable the cooling oil to flow in the axial direction of the stator 1, and also enable the cooling oil to flow between a plurality of cooling oil passages 112 in the radial direction of the stator 1, so as to increase the flow path of the cooling oil inside the stator 1, thereby further increasing the heat exchange area inside the stator 1, and then further improving the cooling effect on the interior of the stator 1.
