Abstract

Disclosed are a motor, an electric drive device, an electric drive system, and an electric apparatus. The motor includes a casing and a stator. The casing has a first accommodation cavity configured to accommodate a cooling medium. The stator is disposed in the first accommodation cavity. At least part of the stator is immersed in the cooling medium.

Claims (30)

1 . A motor comprising

a casing provided with a first accommodation cavity inside, wherein the first accommodation cavity is configured to accommodate a cooling medium; and

a stator disposed in the first accommodation cavity, at least part of the stator being immersed in the cooling medium;

wherein the motor further comprises a rotor, a second accommodation cavity spaced apart from the first accommodation cavity is further provided inside the casing, and the rotor is disposed within the second accommodation cavity;

wherein the rotor comprises a rotor shaft and a rotor disk connected to the rotor shaft, the rotor shaft internally having a first cooling flow channel, and the first cooling flow channel being in communication with the first accommodation cavity; and

wherein the rotor disk internally has a second cooling flow channel, the second cooling flow channel having an end in communication with the first cooling flow channel and another end in communication with the second accommodation cavity.

2 . The motor according to claim 1 , wherein an end of the second cooling flow channel away from the first cooling flow channel penetrates an end face of the rotor disk to be in communication with the second accommodation cavity, optionally the end of the second cooling flow channel away from the first cooling flow channel penetrates two opposite end faces of the rotor disk.

3 . The motor according to claim 1 , wherein a plurality of second cooling flow channels are provided, and the plurality of second cooling flow channels are arranged around the rotor shaft.

4 . The motor according to claim 1 , wherein a wall body of the rotor shaft has a first through hole, the second cooling flow channel being in communication with the first cooling flow channel through the first through hole.

5 . The motor according to claim 4 , wherein a cavity wall of the second accommodation cavity is provided with a second through hole.

6 . A motor comprising

a casing provided with a first accommodation cavity inside, wherein the first accommodation cavity is configured to accommodate a cooling medium; and

a stator disposed in the first accommodation cavity, at least part of the stator being immersed in the cooling medium; wherein the first accommodation cavity comprises a first cavity body and a second cavity body; the stator comprises a first stator disposed in the first cavity body and a second stator disposed in the second cavity body; and the second accommodation cavity is formed between the first cavity body and the second cavity body and wherein the casing comprises an outer casing, an inner casing, a first sealing assembly, and a second sealing assembly, the inner casing comprising a first portion, a second portion, and a third portion disposed between the first portion and the second portion, wherein the first cavity body is defined by the first portion, the first sealing assembly, and the outer casing, and wherein the second cavity body is defined by the second portion, the second sealing assembly, and the outer casing.

7 . The motor according to claim 6 , wherein the outer casing comprises a first inner annular wall and a first outer annular wall surrounding the first inner annular wall; the first sealing assembly comprises a first sealing member disposed between the first outer annular wall and a side of the third portion in an axial direction of the motor; and the second sealing assembly comprises a third sealing member disposed between the first outer annular wall and another side of the third portion in the axial direction of the motor.

8 . The motor according to claim 6 , wherein the second accommodation cavity comprises a third cavity body and a fourth cavity body; the rotor comprises a first rotor disposed in the third cavity body and a second rotor disposed in the fourth cavity body; and the first accommodation cavity is formed between the third cavity body and the fourth cavity body.

9 . The motor according to claim 8 , wherein the third cavity body is formed in the first portion, or wherein the third cavity body is defined by the first portion, the first sealing assembly, and the outer casing.

10 . The motor according to claim 8 , wherein the fourth cavity body is formed in the second portion, or wherein the fourth cavity body is defined by the second portion, the second sealing assembly, and the outer casing.

11 . A motor comprising

a casing provided with a first accommodation cavity inside, wherein the first accommodation cavity is configured to accommodate a cooling medium; and

a stator disposed in the first accommodation cavity, at least part of the stator being immersed in the cooling medium;

wherein the motor further comprises a rotor, a second accommodation cavity spaced apart from the first accommodation cavity is further provided inside the casing, and the rotor is disposed within the second accommodation cavity; and

wherein the casing comprises an outer casing and an inner casing disposed in the outer casing, the first accommodation cavity and the second accommodation cavity being formed in the inner casing.

12 . A motor comprising

a casing provided with a first accommodation cavity inside, wherein the first accommodation cavity is configured to accommodate a cooling medium; and

a stator disposed in the first accommodation cavity, at least part of the stator being immersed in the cooling medium;

wherein the casing has a cooling medium inlet and a cooling medium outlet that are respectively in communication with the first accommodation cavity, the cooling medium inlet comprising a first inlet located at an inner peripheral side of the stator, and the cooling medium outlet being located at an outer peripheral side of the stator;

wherein the motor further comprises a rotor, wherein the casing further is further provided with a second accommodation cavity spaced apart from the first accommodation cavity inside, the rotor being disposed in the second accommodation cavity; the first accommodation cavity comprises a first cavity body and a second cavity body; the stator comprises a first stator disposed in the first cavity body and a second stator disposed in the second cavity body; and the second accommodation cavity is formed between the first cavity body and the second cavity body; and

wherein a plurality of first inlets are provided, at least one of the plurality of first inlets being located at a side of the first stator facing away from the rotor and in communication with the first cavity body, and at least one of the remaining of the plurality of first inlets being located at a side of the second stator facing away from the rotor and in communication with the second cavity body.

13 . The motor according to claim 1 , wherein the casing has a cooling medium inlet and a cooling medium outlet that are respectively in communication with the first accommodation cavity, the cooling medium inlet being located at a height smaller than a height of the cooling medium outlet.

14 . An electric drive device comprising a liquid supply mechanism; and the motor according to claim 1 , wherein the liquid supply mechanism is in communication with the first accommodation cavity to deliver the cooling medium into the first accommodation cavity.
