  • Electric motor cooling system and method for operation of said system
    Patent number: 11973398
    Abstract: Methods and systems for cooling an electric motor are provided. An electric motor system, in one example, comprises a rotor with a plurality of axial air conduits, a first balancing plate positioned on a first axial side of the rotor, the first balancing plate comprising an inlet air duct and an outlet air duct, and a second balancing plate positioned on a second axial side of the rotor, the second balancing plate comprising an inlet air duct and an outlet air duct. In the electric motor system, the inlet air duct in the first balancing plate is radially offset from the inlet air duct in the second balancing plate.
    Type: Grant

  • Methods and systems for oil cooled rotor laminations
    Patent number: 11923754
    Abstract: Various methods and systems are provided for a system for cooling an electric motor that includes a rotor shaft rotatably mounted inside a motor housing, a lamination stack integrally connected to the rotor shaft, an encoder-end balance plate integrally connected to a first end of the lamination stack and a first end of the rotor shaft, an output-end balance plate integrally connected to a second end of the lamination stack and a second end of the rotor shaft, an oil supply coupled to the output-end balance plate and the rotor shaft. A closed-looped coolant pathway is formed between the transmission, the rotor shaft, the encoder-end balance plate, the lamination stack, and the output-end balance plate.
