[0044] The embodiments of the present application will be described below in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. In the case of no conflict, the features in the following embodiments may be combined with each other
The First Embodiment
[0045] Referring to
[0046] Referring to
[0047] The gear set includes an outer gear 2 that is integrated in and fixed to the motor rotor 8 and an inner gear 3 that is located in the outer gear 2 and engaged with the inner teeth of the outer gear 2. The inner gear 3 is eccentrically and rotatably connected to the fixed shaft 4, in which eccentrically means that the rotation axes do not coincide. The outer gear 2 is coaxially connected to the fixed shaft 4 and rotatably arranged in the pump housing 1. In the present disclosure, the outer gear 2 is integrated into the motor rotor 8, which are pressed into a whole. On the one hand, this design significantly reduces the volume of the system, reduces the weight of the system, and reduces the material and production costs of the system obviously. On the other hand, this design effectively reduces the friction of the chamber of gerotor, which is conducive to improving the efficiency of the system.
[0048] The pump housing 1 is provided with an enclosure 15 for separating the controller 91 from the busbar hub 92. With the enclosure 15, the oil paths may be separated from the electric control part, thereby improving the sealing effect and ensuring the work of the controller 91 at a suitable temperature. A PTC temperature sensor (not shown) for detecting and feeding back the temperature of the cooling oil is installed on the enclosure 15 and electrically connected to the controller 91. In some embodiments, the detection of the PTC temperature sensor may be accurate to 0.1 C.
[0049] The outer gear is integrated in the motor rotor and the thermal expansion coefficients of the motor stator 93 and the pump body are identical, which greatly reduces the influence of temperature on the clearances of the oil pump, so as to precisely ensure the end clearance of the pump, such that the influence of temperature on the flow efficiency of the system is effectively reduced or avoided.
[0050] During operation, the circuit control module 9 controls a plurality of stator windings 94 to be powered on to generate a magnetic field, which interacts with the permanent magnetic field of a magnet of the motor rotor 8, to drive the motor rotor 8 to rotate. The motor rotor 8 is fixed to the outer gear 2, that is, the motor stator 93 and the magnet of the motor rotor 8 interact with each other to drive the outer gear 2 to rotate, and the outer gear 2 in turn drives the inner gear 3 to rotate, thus realizing the relative rotation of the inner gear 3 relative to the outer gear 2.
[0051] In particular, projection areas of the motor stator 93, of the motor rotor 8, of the outer gear 2, of the inner gear 3 and of the fixed shaft 4 on a plane through the axis of the fixed shaft 4 at least partially overlap with each other. With the present structure, the axial height of the electric oil pump may be reduced, so as to attain a compact structure and a small size.
[0052] A sealing ring is further provided at an outer periphery of the pump housing 1. In some embodiments, the sealing ring is an O-ring and made of rubber. The O-ring 17 is configured for horizontal and axial deformation, which is conductive to sealing to reduce oil leakage and to form high pressure. This design is cost-effective and efficient, easy to assemble, has a long service life and is easy to maintain.
[0053] In some embodiments, the electric oil pump further includes an upper cover 25 fixedly connected to the outer gear 2. One end of the fixed shaft 4 is rotatably connected to the pump housing 1 via a bearing 6, and the other end of the fixed shaft 4 is coaxially and fixedly connected to the outer gear 2 through the upper cover 25. The inner gear 3 is eccentrically connected to the fixed shaft 4 through the pump housing 1, and the inner gear 3 is rotatably connected to the pump housing 1.
[0054] For the cold start of the high-power electric oil pump, the top of the fixed shaft 4 is also fixedly connected with a sensor 26 in this embodiment, for example, a magnetic transformer. In other embodiments, the sensor 26 may also be fixedly connected to the upper cover 25 fixedly connected to the outer gear 2.
[0055] The circuit control module 9 includes a busbar hub 92 above the motor in the pump housing 1 and a controller 91 above the busbar hub 92. The function of the busbar hub 92 is to collect the incoming and outgoing lines of the stator winding 94, so that the line ends are distributed orderly and clearly, and the line ends are welded on the busbar hub 92 by a simple and clean process. Another function of the busbar hub 92 is to separate the controller 91 from the motor part, so that the oil only circulates in the motor part to form a cooling and lubrication loop, thereby preventing the oil from entering the controller 91.
[0056] The busbar hub 92 is arranged above the stator assembly. Pins of the stator windings 94 are inserted in the busbar hub 92, thereby simplifying the design of the electric control module and thus the traditional winding structure.
[0057] The controller 91 may allow a fast response, which is characterized in a circuit reverse connection protection, prevention of signal interference, monitoring of oil temperature, prevention of overheating, independent communication channels, detection of the angular position of the motor, reception and calculation of the motor speed, and rational comparison and adjustment of the actual rotor speed.
[0058] Since the height of the whole electric oil pump is reduced, compared with a traditional electric oil pump, a short time for the pressurized cooling oil to flow to the stator assembly is required by the electric oil pump in this embodiment, thereby achieving a better cooling effect.
[0059] Referring to
[0060] When the inner gear 3 rotates relative to the outer gear 2, the volume of the intake-expulsion chamber 21 increases gradually, the oil is taken in through the inlet 11, so the amount of oil in the intake-expulsion chamber 21 increases as the volume increases. In this case, the oil with a low temperature comes into contact with the teeth of the inner gear 3 and the outer gear 2 during the intake of the oil, such that the oil absorbs the heat of the teeth. Then, the oil is discharged through the outlet 12 as the volume of the intake-expulsion chamber 21 decreases gradually, such that the amount of oil in the intake-expulsion chamber 21 decreases as the volume decreases. In this case, the oil with a high temperature after absorbing heat during the intake of the oil is discharged out of the pump body from the outlet 12, thereby realizing the cooling and lubrication of the inner gear 3 and the outer gear 2 while cooling the pump body.
[0061] Referring to
[0062] In this embodiment, the eccentric fit between the inner gear 3 and the outer gear 2 is achieved via the eccentric pressing hole 131 of the pump housing without any redundant accessories. The advantages of this design lie in that the structure of the gerotor is simplified and the assembly difficulty of the rotary shaft and the pump housing is lowered. The concentricity of the motor, the housing and the gear set is improved, which is conducive to ensuring the structure concentricity of the pump system. With this design, the accuracy of the air gap between the motor stator and the motor rotor may be improved, so that the motor always works in a precise and uniform magnetic field distribution. The motor works more stably and more precisely, the magnetic field of the motor is unitized more efficiently, so as to ultimately ensure the efficient operation of the electric oil pump. The accumulation of assembly deviations caused by multiple contact interfaces is reduced, which effectively reduces the friction resistance generated when the pump structure rotates. The large eccentricity caused by the rotation of a large-sized bearing is reduced, which improves the efficiency and stability of the electric oil pump. This design has a small size, light weight and is cost-efficient.
The Second Embodiment

[0066] Referring to
[0067] The bottom of pump housing 1 is integrally formed with a housing bottom 13 covering the inlet 11 and the outlet 12. An end face of housing bottom 13 is axially defined with a pressing hole 131 fixedly connected to one end of the fixed shaft 4. The fixed shaft 4 is inserted into the pressing hole 131, and an outer circumferential wall of fixed shaft 4 is tightly fit with the hole wall of the pressing hole 131. An end face of the housing bottom 13 is defined with an intake mouth 132 communicating with the inlet 11 and an expulsion mouth 133 communicating with the outlet 12. At the housing bottom 13, a partition 134 is formed to separate the intake mouth 132 and the expulsion mouth 133 after the intake mouth 132 and the expulsion mouth 133 are defined. One side of the partition 134 is attached to one side of the inner gear 3, improving the sealing between the intake mouth 132 and the expulsion mouth 133.
[0068] A location hole 52 is formed in one side of the crescent sleeve and penetrates through the crescent sleeve, a guide hole for assembly 135 corresponding to the location hole 52 is formed in the housing bottom 13, the guide hole for assembly 135 and the pressing hole 131 are arranged eccentrically. A bushing is provided between the fixed shaft 4 and the inner gear 3, to reduce sliding friction. The inner gear 3 is rotatably connected to the crescent sleeve and the fixed shaft 4 via the bushing 7.
[0069] An opening is formed in the pump housing 1 to match the fixed shaft 4, thereby effectively reducing the machining complexity of the pump housing 1, improving the machining efficiency of the pump housing 1, and improving the matching accuracy between the outer gear 2 and the inner gear 3.
[0070] The implementation principle of the high-precision electric oil pump in this embodiment of the present application is stated as follows.
[0071] A fixed shaft 4 is provided in the pump housing 1, and then an eccentric calibrator 5 is provided on the circumferential side wall of the fixed shaft 4 to form an eccentric assembly 41. In this way, when the outer gear 2 is rotatably connected to the fixed shaft 4, the eccentric assembly 41 may also be rotatably connected to the inner gear 3, thus achieving the relative coaxial and eccentric arrangement of the inner gear 3 relative to the outer gear 2.
The Third Embodiment
[0072] Referring to
[0073] The mechanism for cooling the stator assembly by the cooling oil in this embodiment is as follows.
[0074] The motor rotor 8 and the outer gear 2 jointly drive the inner gear 3 to rotate to pressurize the cooling oil from the inlet 11, so that one part of the pressurized cooling oil flows to the stator assembly via the hollow channel of the fixed shaft 4, to cool the stator assembly, and the cooling oil that undergoes heat exchange then flows back to a low-pressure area.
[0075] In addition, the other part of the pressurized cooling oil is directly discharged from the outlet 12 via a high-pressure area.
[0076] In this embodiment, the fixed shaft 4 is further equipped with a radial magnetic steel to monitor the position of the fixed shaft.
[0077] The specific process of cooling the stator assembly of the present application is as follows.
[0078] 1) First, the device is powered on. At this time, the controller 91 is powered on and converts electricity into three-phase electricity to power the stator windings 94. The electromagnetic force drives the motor rotor 8 and the outer gear 2 to rotate. The motor rotor 8 and the outer gear 2 rotate so that the cooling oil from the inlet 11 enters the low-pressure area through the filter screen 14.
[0079] 2) The motor rotor 8 and the outer gear 2 jointly drive the inner gear 3 to rotate around the fixed shaft 4, to pressurize the cooling oil from the inlet 11, so that one part of the pressurized cooling oil flows to the stator assembly through the fixed shaft 4, to cool the stator assembly, the cooling oil that undergoes heat exchange then flows back to the low-pressure area, and the cooling oil is pressurized by a pressure difference caused by the eccentric arrangement of the inner gear relative to the outer gear. In this case, the PTC temperature sensor 82 is configured to detect the current temperature value of the oil and feed the temperature value back to the controller 91, and the controller 91 then feeds the current temperature value of the oil back to an external control system.
[0080] 3) The other part of the pressurized cooling oil is directly discharged from the outlet 12 through the high-pressure area.
[0081] The above shows and describes the basic principles, main features and advantages of the present invention. Those skilled in the industry should understand that the present application is not limited by the embodiments described above. The described embodiments and description only illustrate the principles of the present application. Without departing from the spirit and scope of the present disclosure, the present application may also be subject to various changes, modifications, substitutions and variations, all of which fall within the scope of the present disclosure as claimed.
