Electric water pump
View Patent ↗An electric water pump may include: a housing with a cooling water inlet and a cooling water outlet; and a stator assembly provided inside the housing. The stator assembly includes a stator core, a stator coil arranged on the stator core, insulation members insulating the stator core and the stator coil, and a stator cover provided to cover the stator core, the stator coil, and the insulation members. The electric water pump further includes: a rotor assembly rotatably provided inside the stator assembly and having a magnetic body; and an impeller pumping cooling water introduced through the cooling water inlet by rotation of the rotor assembly. In particular, the stator core, the stator coil, and the insulation members of the stator assembly may be integrally formed in the stator cover.
1 . An electric water pump comprising:
a housing with a cooling water inlet and a cooling water outlet;
a stator assembly provided inside the housing, wherein the stator assembly includes:
a stator core,
a stator coil arranged on the stator core,
insulation members insulating the stator core and the stator coil, and
a stator cover provided to cover the stator core, the stator coil, and the insulation members;
a rotor assembly rotatably provided inside the stator assembly, and having a magnetic body; and
an impeller configured to pump cooling water introduced through the cooling water inlet by rotation of the rotor assembly,
wherein the stator core includes:
at least one stator slot configured to receive the stator coil, and
at least one stator tooth around which the stator coil is wound, the at least one stator tooth configured to be arranged along a circumferential direction of the stator core, and
wherein a radial inner end of the at least one stator tooth is exposed to a radial inner side of the stator cover toward the magnetic body of the rotor assembly, wherein the radial inner end of the at least one stator tooth protrudes on the radial inner side of the stator cover.
2 . The electric water pump of claim 1 , wherein the radial inner end of the at least one stator tooth protrudes on the radial inner side of the stator cover by a set amount.
3 . The electric water pump of claim 1 , wherein:
the stator coil is wound on the at least one stator tooth, and then the stator cover is manufactured through injection.
4 . The electric water pump of claim 1 , wherein the insulation members include:
an upper insulation member provided at an upper portion of the stator core, and
a lower insulation member provided at a lower portion of the stator core.
