Abstract
Abstract Liquid cooled stator jacket and a method for extruding a billet of aluminum alloy to form a stator jacket. The billet of aluminum alloy is extruded to form a plurality of conduits along the longitudinal direction of the billet and to form a plurality of thickness lightening holes along the longitudinal direction of the billet. The thickness lightening holes are equally spaced in a circumferential direction of the billet and the conduits are arranged on both sides of each of the thickness lightening holes.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 6
Claim 1
Independent Claim
168 words
A liquid cooled motor comprising: a stator cooling jacket having front and rear surfaces and being a billet of aluminum alloy extruded to form a plurality of conduits along a longitudinal direction of said billet for passing coolant and to form a plurality of thickness lightening holes along the longitudinal direction of said billet, said plurality of thickness lightening holes being equally spaced from one another around the circumferential direction of said billet and said plurality of conduits being arranged on both sides of each of said plurality of thickness lightening holes around the circumferential direction of said billet; a front housing attached to said front surface of said stator cooling jacket; a rear housing attached to said rear surface of said stator cooling jacket; and a plurality of tie bolts which fasten together said stator cooling jacket and said front and rear housings, said tie bolts extending from said front housing to said rear housing through said plurality of thickness lightening holes of said stator cooling jacket.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
168 words
A liquid cooled motor comprising: a stator cooling jacket having front and rear surfaces and being a billet of aluminum alloy extruded to form a plurality of conduits along a longitudinal direction of said billet for passing coolant and to form a plurality of thickness lightening holes along the longitudinal direction of said billet, said plurality of thickness lightening holes being equally spaced from one another around the circumferential direction of said billet and said plurality of conduits being arranged on both sides of each of said plurality of thickness lightening holes around the circumferential direction of said billet; a front housing attached to said front surface of said stator cooling jacket; a rear housing attached to said rear surface of said stator cooling jacket; and a plurality of tie bolts which fasten together said stator cooling jacket and said front and rear housings, said tie bolts extending from said front housing to said rear housing through said plurality of thickness lightening holes of said stator cooling jacket.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
53 words
