主导电部113为管状,可以根据具体应用环境的空间进行弯折延伸,主导电部113可以包括弧形段、直形段。本申请主导电部113由于其内设流道117,使得主导电部113更容易弯折,本实施方式中,从入口部111至出口部112,主导电部113的横截面尺寸不变。
图3和图4所示的实施方式中,主导电部113的所述流道117的内壁为光滑表面,流道117横截面可以为圆形、方形、椭圆形等任意形状。光滑表面的流道117易于制作,具 成本低的优势,可以直接选用标准管件,例如,直接用铜管。
参阅图5和图6,一种可能的实现方式中,所述主导电部113的所述流道117的内壁设有内凸的齿状结构1172,内凸的齿状结构1172的设计使得冷却液与主导电部113的接触面积增加,有利于增加换热面积。图5示意性地绘出了主导电部113的部分,为了方便标示齿状结构1172,图5中将主导电部113的环状管壁和齿状结构1172用不同方向的剖面线表达,只是为了区分环状管壁和齿状结构1172,实际上,齿状结构1172可以与主导电部113的环状管壁为一体式的结构。

图3至图11所示的各种可能的实现方式中,所述主导电部113的外表面1131为光滑表面,主导电部113的外表面1131的横截面可以为圆形、方形、椭圆形、多边形等。具有光滑的外表面1131的主导电部113结构简单,易于选材,例如,可以直接选铜管,或方管等管状结构。
参阅图12和图13,一种可能的实现方式中,所述主导电部113的外表面1131突设翅片结构1132。翅片结构1132可以提升主导电部113的散热能力。翅片结构1132可以设置在主导电部113的局部外表面,也可以呈间隔环绕分布,且包围主导电部113的外表面1131。翅片结构1132可以与主导电部113为同种材料,通过焊接连接为一体。翅片结构1132也可以通过机加工的方式一体成型制作在主导电部113的外表面1131。

参阅图3和图4,出口部112包括安装板1121,安装板1121焊接至主导电部113的一端1134的***,且与主导电部113电连接。主导电部113的一端1134呈弯管状,使得主导电部113内的流道117的出口段弯折延伸,以改变流道117出口的方向,使得流道117出口朝向安装板1121的安装孔1122的位置。安装板1121上设置的安装孔1122呈通孔状。安装板1121包括相对设置的第一表面1123和第二表面1124,安装孔1122贯穿第一表面1123和第二表面1124,第一表面1123用于设置电机定子绕组或者电连接至电机定子绕组的连接线,第二表面1123连接一螺母1125,螺母1125包围安装孔1122设置,螺母1125与穿过安装板1121的螺栓或螺柱配合,用于固定电机定子绕组或电连接电机定子绕组的连接线。需要说明的是,此处的螺母1125也可以为其它紧固件,例如具有螺纹孔的柱状结构,柱状结构内的螺纹孔用于与螺栓或螺柱配合,以固定电机定子绕组或电连接至电子绕组的连接线。
主导电部113包括呈弯管状的端部1135,出口部112连接至该端部1135,端部1135的弯管状的设置使得主导电部113内的流道117的出口朝向出口部112上的安装孔1122的位置。可以理解的,流道117的出口设置为朝向出口部112,可以使得冷却液从主导电部113的出口流出后直接对准出口部112喷淋,能够提供出口部112液冷效率。
其它可能的实现方式中,流道117的出口的朝向可以不正对出口部112,例如朝向其它的物体(可以为电机的壳体上延伸的挡墙)喷射,通过其它物体反射至出口部,换言之,冷却液从所述流道的所述出口喷出,可以被反射至所述出口部,可以在出口部的***设置遮挡件,对冷却液进行反射,或者借助电机壳体的部分结构来反射冷却液。
其它可能的实施方式中,流道117的出口可以相较出口部的方向倾斜一定的角度进行喷淋,倾斜喷淋的方向可以朝向电机绕组的引出线的位置,即冷却液可以不直接喷淋电机绕组引出线与出品部112的连接位置,也可以朝向电机绕组引出线的中部喷淋,电机绕组引出线的末端固定在出口部112的安装板1121上,电机绕组引出线的中部指的是电机绕组伸出的接线部分未延伸至末端的部分。
安装板1121设有缺口1126,具体而言,缺口1126在安装板1121的一个边缘上内凹形成,缺口1126可以为矩形或弧形,缺口1126的形状可以与主导电部113的一端1135的形状匹配。主导电部113的一端1135伸入此缺口1126,以实现安装板1121与主导电部112 之间的定位,再通过焊接的方式将缺口1126的内壁与主导电部113的一端1135的外表面焊接固定,也可以通过点胶(导电胶)的方式固定。
本申请通过传导件11的入口部111与电机控制器电连接,出口部112与电机电连接,实现了电机控制器和电机之间的导电功能,而且,通过在传导件11的内部设置进液通道116和流道117,使得液冷导电结构在实现导电功能的同时,可以通过冷却液流经进液通道116和流道117,且喷淋出口部,即对出口部112与电机连接的接头位置进行液冷散热。此冷却液为电动汽车动力总成的冷却***的冷却液,冷却液经过电动汽车内的减速器后,进入电机,可以通过进液通道116流进主导电部113的流道117,喷淋出口部112后,再通过电机内的管路回流至冷却***,形成液冷循环,可以持续散热。
由于传导件11内部的进液通道116和流道117的设置,使得传导件11呈中空状,导电的过程中,可以提高电流密度,电流密度高使得液冷导电结构具有良好的导电性。
参阅图15,本申请一种实施方式提供的液冷导电结构包括三个传导件11,三个传导件11并排间隔设置,用于传输三相电流。各传导件11的具体结构如上文描述,不再赘述,上文描述了多种实施方式提供的传导件11,液冷导电结构所包括的三个传导件11可以为同一实施方式提供的传导件11,即三个传导件11的结构可以相同,当然三个传导件11也要以为不同实施方式提供的传导件11,即三个传导件11的结构也可不完全相同,只在都具有导电功能以及内设进液通道和流道,可以供冷却液流经并喷淋出口部,即可实现本申请要解决的技术问题。
本申请提供液冷导电结构包括绝缘体,绝缘体包覆在传导件的***,具体而言,绝缘体包覆入口部,但需要保护入口部111的进液管115进液通道116的开口位置及导电接头114的螺纹孔1112外露;绝缘体包覆主导电部113,但要保证主导电部113的邻近出口部112的流道117的出口1171外露,绝缘体包覆部分出口部112,要保证出口部112的安装板1121的第一表面1123外露。
绝缘体的作用是保护传导件、使得传导件与其它的导电元件绝缘隔离,以及安装液冷导电结构。绝缘体的形状尺寸可以与液冷导电结构的安装环境相匹配,可以平板状,也可以包括弧面状。例如液冷导电结构安装至电机外壳上时,电机外壳通常为金属壳体,不能直接将传导件连接至外壳,需要在传导件外部设置绝缘体,通过绝缘体安装至电机外壳。绝缘体可以为塑料材质,传导件可以为金属材质,传导件可以安装在绝缘体内部,也可以通过一体成型制作工艺成型在绝缘体内部,例如模内注塑工艺,将传导件作为嵌件转入模具内,利用注塑工艺将塑料材质形成在传导件的***,形成绝缘体。
参阅图16、图17和图18,分别为具有绝缘体12的液冷导电结构10的三个不同方向的示意图。绝缘体12包括第一部分121、第二部分122和连接在二者之间的主体部123,第一部分121包覆在入口部111的包围,并且进液管115进液通道116的开口位置及导电接头114的螺纹孔1112从第一部分121的相对的两端外露。第二部分122包覆部分出口部112,使得出口部112的安装板1121的第一表面1123外露,第二部分122将出口部112的螺母1125包覆在内部。主体部123包括主导电部113,主导电部113的流道117的出口1171外露(如图16所示)。主导电部113共面设置,主体部123呈平板状结构,这样的架构使得液冷导电结构方便安装至电机外壳。
一种可能的实施方式中,绝缘体12的材质可以为柔性绝缘材料,例如硅胶,绝缘体12包覆三个传导件11后,连接在各传导件11之间的部分绝缘体12呈柔性,能够产生形变,这样当液冷导电结构10安装至电机外壳上时,可以匹配各种安装环境,例如,外壳上的安装面不平,由于绝缘体12能够产生形变,绝缘体12也可以与安装面贴合的很好,除了便于安装的优势,柔性材料的绝缘体12的配置,在环境产生振动的过程中,还可以提供缓冲,能够吸收电机的振动,保证电动汽车的运行平稳。
绝缘体12的边缘位置包括固定部124,具体而言,固定部124的数量为三个,这三个固定部分别位于第一部分121的边缘、主体部123的边缘及第二部分122的边缘。各固定部124均设固定孔1242。固定孔1242用于与螺丝配合将注液冷导电结构10固定连接至电机的外壳。
各所述传导件11的所述出口部112的***设置遮挡件125,所述流道117的所述出口1171位于所述出口部112和所述遮挡件125之间。遮挡件125为绝缘材质,例如塑料板,在相邻的出口部112之间可以使得相邻的出口部112绝缘隔离,也可以对冷却液进行挡止,具反射冷却液的作用,使得冷却液喷出后,更集中喷淋至出口部112,提升液冷效率。
所述遮挡件125包括第一板1251和两个第二板1252,1253,所述两个第二板1252,1253的一端分别连接在所述第一板1251的相对的两侧,所述两个第二板1252,1253的另一端之间形成安装口(即出口部112远离流道117的所述出口1171的一侧),安装口的位置用于连接电机定子绕组的接头至出口部112。第一板1251和两个第二板1252,1253均为平板状,两个第二板1252,1253相互平行且均垂直于第一板1251。其它可能实现的方式中,第一板1251可以为弧形,或者,第二板1252,1253为弧形,或者第一板1251和第二板1252,1253均为弧形,且共同构成曲率相同的弧面反射面,弧面反射面朝向出口部112。第一板1251和第二板1252,1253可以为分体式架构,第一板1251和第二板1252,1253之间可以有间隙,也可以无缝对接。第一板1251和第二板1252,1253也可以为一体式架构。
所述流道117的所述出口1171位于所述第一板1251和所述出口部112之间。出口部112形成液冷导电结构和电机定子绕组的接线位置,由于第一板1251的遮挡,冷却液从出口流出后,可以直接流向此接线位置,而且第一板1251和第二板1252,1253可以遮挡冷却液,不但能防止冷却液喷向其它位置,还可以对喷射至遮挡件125上的冷却液进行反射,反射至出口部112的接线位置,提升冷却效果。
图19和图20为具有绝缘体12的液冷导电结构10的剖面图,从图19可以看出,绝缘体12的第一部分121覆盖入口部111的导电接头114的侧面,并未覆盖第一端面S1,以此保留第一端面S1作为电连接的接口。第一部分121覆盖进液管115的侧面及第二端部S2,但是第一部分121设有开口1211,通过开口1121,进液管115的进液通道116可以与外界相通,冷却液可以从开口1211进入进液通道116。从图20可以看出进液通道116和主导电部113内的流道117是相通的,可以看到主导电部113与入口部111对接的结构。主导电部113的端部伸入入口部111,使得进液通道116和流道117相连通。
参阅图21和图22,本申请提供的电机130包括电机壳体1301、定子(图21中定子被电机壳体1301遮挡,未图示)和液冷导电结构10。可以理解的,电机壳体1301内设定子 和转子,定子设置在转子的***,电子壳体包围定子设置。

电机壳体1301内的冷却液通道13011内设过滤结构F,冷却液进入电机壳体1301后,通过此过滤结构F再进入进液管115,并在液冷导电结构10内流动。过滤结构F可以过滤掉冷却液内的大颗粒杂质,防止液冷导电结构10被堵塞。过滤结构F的位置可以设置在电机壳体1301的冷却液通道13011的入口位置,也可以设置在冷却液通道13011内部,只要位于各进液通道116的上游即可。
参阅图24,图24为电机130的剖视图,显示了液冷导电结构10的主导电部113内的流道117、出口部112、电机定子绕组1303、绕组连接线1304,及电机壳体1301内的冷却液流出通道13012。图24中,液冷导电结构10位于电机壳体1301的顶部,冷却液流出通道13012位于电机壳体的底部,冷却液进入流道117后,从流道117的出口喷出,喷淋出口部112,电子定子绕组1303通过绕组连接线1304连接至出口部112,冷却液喷淋绕组连接线1304与出口部112的接线位置,对定子绕组进行液冷散热。喷出的冷却液从电机壳体1301内流向冷却液流出通道13012,冷却液流出通道13012与电动汽车的液冷***连通,形成冷却液的循环流动。
