Cooling lubrication is very important for electric machines, especially for high performance electric machines. The high-performance motor generates more heat and needs to reduce the working temperature to a range which can be borne by motor parts through cooling and lubricating. Taking an ac asynchronous motor as an example, the main heating elements in the motor are a stator winding, a stator core, a rotor core and a permanent magnet. At present, in the cooling and lubricating technology of the motor for the automobile, three cooling modes of air cooling, water cooling and oil cooling are mainly adopted, wherein the oil cooling is the main cooling and lubricating mode of the high-performance motor. At present, in the industry, a plurality of cooling and lubricating schemes for the motor stator assembly are adopted, the cooling and lubricating scheme is relatively mature, the cooling and lubricating scheme for the motor rotor assembly is less, and particularly, the cooling and lubricating scheme is efficient.
At present, the mainstream scheme of cooling and lubricating a motor rotor assembly is that cooling lubricating oil is guided into a hollow rotor shaft through an oil pump, enters oil holes in pressing plates at two ends through an oil hole of the hollow rotor shaft and then flows into an oil hole of a rotor core so as to cool and lubricate the rotor core, and then splashes to a winding at the end part of a stator through the oil hole of the pressing plate under the action of centrifugal force so as to cool and lubricate the winding. The cooling and lubricating scheme mainly has the problem that the cooling and lubricating efficiency is low and the requirement of a high-performance motor cannot be met.

Wherein, the whole or partial flow area of the diversion hole 41 is communicated with the first diversion groove 21, or communicated with the second diversion groove 14, etc. In an actual working state, as shown in fig. 4, cooling lubricant is introduced into the oil inlet channel of the rotor shaft 1 from the oil pool through an oil pipe or an oil passage by a device such as an electronic oil pump, and a centripetal force generated in the rotation process of the oil inlet channel and the rotor shaft 1 is decomposed into an axial force along the axial direction of the rotor shaft 1, and the axial force pushes the cooling lubricant to flow forward, so that the flow rate of the cooling lubricant is further increased, and the lubricating effect is improved. A part of the cooling lubricant flows to the rotor core 2 through the oil groove 12, and then flows through the guide holes 41 after passing through the first guide groove 21, so that the cooling lubricant splashes from the two ends of the rotor assembly, and the stator winding 31 is cooled and lubricated.
In some exemplary embodiments, as shown in fig. 1, the two pressing plates 4 may be configured to be identical to reduce the number of parts and the management cost of parts. In the actual assembly into a motor, the pressure plate 4 can be brought to different rotation angles for fitting onto the rotor shaft 1. The guide holes 41 of the left-hand press plate 4 can be arranged to communicate with a part of the first guide grooves 21 of the rotor core 2. The guiding holes 41 of the pressing plate 4 on the right side can be arranged to be communicated with the remaining first guiding grooves 21 on the rotor core 2. The number of the first flow guiding grooves 21 communicated with the flow guiding holes 41 positioned on the left side is the same as that of the first flow guiding grooves 21 communicated with the flow guiding holes 41 positioned on the right side, so that the uniformity of flow guiding to the two ends of the stator winding 31 is increased, and the reliability of the motor is improved.
In some exemplary embodiments, as shown in fig. 1, the pilot holes 41 may be provided as arc-shaped holes extending in the circumferential direction of the rotor shaft 1. The arc-shaped hole is matched with the circular motion of the rotor assembly, and the center of the arc-shaped hole and the central axis of the rotor shaft 1 can be arranged to be collinear, so that the cooling lubricating oil splashes out through the arc-shaped flow guide hole 41 by a larger flow passage under the action of the circumferential inertia force, and is used for guiding the cooling lubricating oil passing through the rotor assembly to the space where the stator winding 31 of the stator assembly 3 is located, as shown in fig. 4.
