摘要
A rotor assembly for an electric machine, including a rotor core and a shaft, is connected to the rotor core for conjoint rotation, wherein a cooling channel arrangement is formed within the rotor assembly and includes a cooling channel, which extends within the shaft. The rotor assembly further includes a separation element which has a separation portion extending in the circumferential direction at an inner radius of the shaft, wherein the separation portion separates an interior of the shaft into a first shaft portion, in which the cooling channel extends, and into a second shaft portion, wherein the separation element includes a sealing device, which seals off the shaft portions with respect to one another.
說明書
The present application is based on, and claims priority from, German Application No. 10 2018 118 276.7 filed Jul. 27, 2018, the disclosure of which is hereby incorporated by reference herein in its entirety.
The present invention relates to a rotor assembly for an electric machine, comprising a rotor core and a shaft, which is connected to the rotor core for conjoint rotation, wherein a cooling channel arrangement is formed within the rotor assembly and comprises a cooling channel, which extends within the shaft.
The invention also relates to an electric machine for a vehicle, and to a vehicle.
During the operation of electric machines, iron losses occur if magnetic alternating fields are produced. The iron losses produce heat in a rotor core and heat up permanent magnets arranged there, wherein a demagnetisation temperature of the permanent magnets must not be exceeded. In order to improve the performance of the electric machine it is known to dissipate the heat away from the permanent magnets. In the case of electric machines with a high utilisation, as can be used in electrically driveable vehicles, this can be achieved by the cooling of a shaft connected to the rotor core for conjoint rotation.
權(quán)利要求
The invention claimed is:1. A rotor assembly for an electric machine, comprising;a rotor core, and a shaft which is connected to the rotor core for conjoint rotation, a cooling channel arrangement formed within the rotor core and the shaft, and having a first cooling channel, which extends within the shaft, a separation element disposed in the shaft and having a separation portion extending in a circumferential direction at an inner radius of the shaft, wherein the separation portion separates an interior of the shaft into a first shaft portion, in which the first cooling channel extends to supply cooling fluid, and into a second shaft portion, and a sealing means, which seals off the shaft portions with respect to one another, and a termination element arranged at a free end opposite the first shaft portion, and having a passage to guide the cooling fluid out from the second shaft portion, and another sealing means which seals off the termination element and the shaft with respect to one another. 2. The rotor assembly according to claim 1 , wherein the sealing means is an O-ring. 3. The rotor assembly according to claim 1 , wherein the separation element further comprises an end portion, which is arranged protruding into the interior of the shaft at a free end, wherein at least one further sealing means is provided, which seals off the end portion and the shaft with respect to one another. 4. The rotor assembly according to claim 3 , wherein the at least one further sealing means is an O-ring and/or an adhesive layer arranged on a surface of the end portion, which surface is roughened. 5. The rotor assembly according to claim 1 , wherein the cooling channel arrangement extends through the rotor core into the second shaft portion. 6. The rotor assembly according to claim 1 , further comprising an end plate arranged on an end face of the rotor core and at least partially forming a second cooling channel of the cooling channel arrangement, which adjoins the first cooling channel. 7. The rotor assembly according to claim 6 , wherein a third cooling channel of the cooling channel arrangement adjoins the second cooling channel and extends through the rotor core. 8. The rotor assembly according to claim 7 , wherein a fourth cooling channel of the cooling channel arrangement adjoins the third cooling channel and is formed at least in part by a further end plate arranged on the rotor core and leads into the second shaft portion. 9. The rotor assembly according to claim 6 , wherein the end plate is sealed off with respect to the rotor core by means of a further sealing means. 10. The rotor assembly according to claim 9 , wherein the further sealing means is an O-ring. 11. The rotor assembly according to claim 6 , wherein the end plate is sealed off with respect to the shaft by means of a further sealing means (54, 55). 12. The rotor assembly according to claim 1 , wherein a lamination stack of the rotor core comprises an outer sealing layer or a plurality of outer sealing layers formed one on the other, made of a resin material. 13. An electric machine, comprising a stator and the rotor assembly according to claim 1 arranged within the stator. 14. A vehicle, comprising the electric machine according to claim 13 which is designed to drive the vehicle. 15. The rotor assembly according to claim 1 , wherein the shaft penetrates through the rotor core, the separation element extends from one end of the shaft to supply the cooling fluid to the rotor core, and the termination element is attached to the free end of the shaft arranged outside the rotor core and connected to a further feed element to discharge the cooling fluid from the rotor assembly. 16. A rotor assembly for an electric machine, comprising:a rotor core, and a shaft which is connected to the rotor core for conjoint rotation, a cooling channel arrangement formed within the rotor core and the shaft, and having a through hole extending throughout the shaft with a first cooling channel, which extends within the shaft, a separation element disposed in the shaft and having a separation portion extending in a circumferential direction at an inner radius of the shaft, wherein the separation portion separates an interior of the shaft into a first shaft portion, in which the first cooling channel extends to supply cooling fluid, and into a second shaft portion, and a sealing means, which seals off the shaft portions with respect to one another, and a termination element which seals off the second shaft portion fluid-tight at a free end opposite the first shaft portion, and having another sealing means which seals off the termination element and the shaft with respect to one another.
