COOLING SYSTEM FOR VEHICLE DRIVEN BY IN-WHEEL MOTOR - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18052343 titled 'COOLING SYSTEM FOR VEHICLE DRIVEN BY IN-WHEEL MOTOR
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes a cooling system for a vehicle with in-wheel motors. The system includes a cooling water channel in the in-wheel motor and inverter, a radiator to dissipate heat, a cooling water circulation line, and a water pump to circulate the cooling water.
- The cooling system is designed for vehicles with in-wheel motors.
- It includes cooling water channels in both the in-wheel motor and inverter.
- A radiator is provided to dissipate heat from the cooling water.
- A cooling water circulation line connects the channels and radiator.
- A water pump is used to circulate the cooling water through the system.
Potential Applications
- Electric vehicles with in-wheel motors.
- Hybrid vehicles with in-wheel motors.
Problems Solved
- Overheating of in-wheel motors and inverters.
- Efficient cooling of the components.
- Preventing damage and performance degradation due to excessive heat.
Benefits
- Improved performance and longevity of in-wheel motors and inverters.
- Enhanced cooling efficiency.
- Increased overall vehicle efficiency.
- Reduced risk of component failure due to overheating.
Original Abstract Submitted
A cooling system for a vehicle driven by in-wheel motors includes a cooling water channel provided in an in-wheel motor mounted on a wheel of a vehicle so that cooling water for cooling the in-wheel motor can pass through the cooling water channel, a cooling water channel provided in an inverter for driving and controlling the in-wheel motor so that cooling water for cooling the inverter can pass through the cooling water channel, a radiator provided to dissipate heat of cooling water that has cooled the in-wheel motor and the inverter by passing the cooling water, a cooling water circulation line connected such that cooling water can circulate between the cooling water channel of the in-wheel motor, the cooling water channel of the inverter, and the radiator, and a water pump configured to circulate cooling water through the cooling water circulation line by pumping cooling water in the cooling water circulation line.
