    Abstract: An oil inlet of a motor communicates with a first end of an oil pump through a first passage. A first oil sump of the motor communicates with a second end of the oil pump through a second passage. When the oil pump is rotating, a port at the first end is an oil outlet of the oil pump, and a port at the second end is an oil inlet of the oil pump. The first end of the oil pump communicates with a second oil sump through a third passage with a first valve. The second end of the oil pump communicates with the second oil sump through a fourth passage with a second valve. In this way, when the oil pump is reversing, coolant may be input into a motor cavity and accumulate in the motor cavity, so as to cool motor components in an immersion manner.

    Abstract: A powertrain, a coolant flow rate estimation method, and an electric vehicle are provided. Coolant in a first cooling loop of the powertrain is configured to cool an inverter. An electronic pump drives the coolant to circulate in the first cooling loop. When a phase current of a motor is greater than or equal to a preset current value, a controller determines a rotation speed of the electronic pump at a first moment as a first rotation speed, and determines a coolant flow rate at the first moment based on a temperature at a first position in the first cooling loop, a temperature at a second position in the inverter, and a power loss of the inverter. In the solution of this application, data does not need to be separately calibrated for different thermal management systems. This reduces time consumed by data calibration and improves practicability.

    Abstract: An oil temperature control method is applied to a controller of an electric vehicle that includes an oil cooling circuit, where the oil cooling circuit flows through a motor and an inverter. The method includes the following steps: determining an oil temperature at a detection point, where the detection point is a specified location in the oil cooling circuit; when the oil temperature is lower than a first target temperature, triggering one or more of the following operations: bypassing an oil-water heat exchanger, reducing a water flow rate, and increasing a power of an oil pump; or when the oil temperature is higher than a second target temperature, triggering one or more of the following operations: disabling a bypass path of an oil-water heat exchanger, increasing a water flow rate, and reducing a power of an oil pump.
