Abstract

Background

The application of electric vehicles in daily life is becoming increasingly widespread. However, the heat dissipation issues of the electric motors directly impact electric vehicles' stability and safety. Thus, research on the heat dissipation of the electric motor is conducive to improving the reliability of the drive motor and ensuring the overall stability and safety of electric vehicles; there is a growing emphasis on the development trends of heat dissipation technologies for electric vehicle drive motors.

Objective

In order to meet the increasing requirements of electric vehicles for stability and safety and to solve the problems of low heat dissipation efficiency of electric vehicle drive motors, the size of heat dissipation devices, and the short life span caused by the high temperature of drive motors, the heat dissipation of drive motors is optimized and the heat dissipation structure is improved.

Methods

Based on the structural characteristics of heat dissipation of electric vehicle drive motors, various representative patents related to the current heat dissipation technology of electric vehicle drive motors are summarized.

Results

By summarizing a large number of patents on electric vehicle drive motor heat dissipation technology, it is concluded that the current research on electric vehicle drive motor heat dissipation mainly focuses on liquid heat dissipation or gas heat dissipation and that the main reason for the heat dissipation problem of electric vehicle drive motors is the low heat dissipation efficiency due to over-reliance on a single heat dissipation method, and the reliability is poor due to failure to reasonably control heat dissipation according to the need for heat dissipation. This paper proposes a new idea of heat dissipation for electric vehicle drive motors, which effectively combines liquid heat dissipation and gas heat dissipation. Moreover, the heat dissipation efficiency will be significantly higher than the existing heat dissipation scheme, and the proposed heat dissipation concept of “on-demand distribution” will effectively improve the utilization rate of the heat dissipation medium and reduce the heat dissipation cost and the reasonable heat dissipation structure will reduce the volume of the heat dissipation device. The reasonable heat dissipation structure will also reduce the volume of the heat dissipation device. In addition, the future development of heat dissipation technology for electric vehicle drive motors is also discussed.

Conclusion

The heat dissipation scheme proposed in this paper will effectively improve the heat dissipation problem of electric vehicle drive motors. Compared with the existing heat dissipation methods, the heat dissipation efficiency of the heat dissipation scheme proposed in this paper will be improved by more than 8.5%, and the service life of the drive motor will be extended by more than 5.1%, while the size of the electric vehicle drive motor will be reduced by 6%. More related patents will be invented in the future.
