[0015] In one embodiment of the present invention, the second baffle is located on the midline between the liquid inlet and the liquid outlet.

[0028] The core of the present invention is to provide a disk motor cooling structure to extend the service life of the disk motor.

[0029] In order to enable those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solution of the present invention, the present invention is further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and implementation methods.

[0030] Please refer to Figures 1 to 4 The disc motor cooling structure disclosed in the present invention includes a stator core 100, a stator housing 200, a first baffle plate 300, a second baffle plate 400, a first coil 500, a second coil 600 and a third baffle plate 700, wherein the stator core 100 has a plurality of stator monomers 101; the stator housing 200 seals the stator core 100, the stator housing 200 and the outside of the stator core 100 form a first cavity 800, and the stator housing 200 and the inside of the stator core 100 form a second cavity 900, and the stator housing 200 is provided with a liquid inlet channel 203, a liquid outlet channel 204, a liquid inlet 201, a liquid outlet 202, a liquid spray port 205 and a liquid return port 206, wherein the liquid inlet channel 203 is connected to the liquid inlet 201 and the liquid spray port 205, and the liquid outlet channel 204 is connected to the liquid outlet 202 and the liquid return port 206; the first baffle plate 300 and the second baffle plate 400 are arranged between the outside of the stator core 100 and the stator shell 200, and the first baffle plate 300 and the second baffle plate 400 isolate the first cavity 800 into a first cooling channel 801 and a second cooling channel 802. The first cooling channel 801 is connected to the liquid outlet 202, and the second cooling channel 802 is connected to the liquid return port 206; the widths of the first coil 500 and the second coil 600 are different, and multiple first coils 500 and second coils 600 are arranged on the stator monomer 101; the third baffle plate 700 is between adjacent stator monomers 101, and a third cooling channel connecting the first cavity 800 and the second cavity 900 is formed between the third baffle plate 700 and the adjacent first coil 500 and second coil 600.

[0031] With the disk motor cooling structure of the present invention, the liquid refrigerant enters the liquid inlet channel 203 from the liquid inlet 201 and enters the first cooling channel 801 through the oil spray port; the liquid refrigerant entering the first cooling channel 801 exchanges heat with the first coil 500 and the second coil 600 outside the stator core 100, and then enters the third cooling channel and exchanges heat with the first coil 500 and the second coil 600 on the stator monomer 101 corresponding to the third cooling channel, and then enters the second cavity 900, and is located in the second cavity 900. The liquid refrigerant exchanges heat with the first coil 500 and the second coil 600 inside the stator core 100, then passes through the third channel and exchanges heat with the first coil 500 and the second coil 600 on the stator monomer 101 corresponding to the third cold channel, and then enters the second cooling channel 802. The liquid refrigerant entering the second cooling channel 802 exchanges heat with the first coil 500 and the second coil 600 outside the stator core 100, and then enters the liquid outlet channel 204 through the liquid return port 206 and flows out from the liquid outlet 202. It can be seen that in the above process, the liquid refrigerant can fully directly contact and exchange heat with the core heat-generating components such as the stator core 100, the first coil 500 and the second coil 600, thereby improving the heat dissipation efficiency of the disc motor and extending the service life of the disc motor.

[0032] The third baffle 700, along with the adjacent first and second coils 500 and 600, forms a third cooling channel. This channel dissipates heat from the stator 101, the first and second coils 500 and 600, and other core heat-generating components surrounding the third cooling channel. The first and second coils 500 and 600 have different widths, with the first coil 500 being smaller than the second coil 600.

[0033] To ensure uniform magnetic flux across the stator cells, the multiple first coils 500 and second coils 600 are alternately arranged on each stator cell 101. That is, for every two adjacent coils on each stator cell, one is a first coil 500 and the other is a second coil 600. This increases the number of third cooling channels within two adjacent stator cells 101. Of course, the arrangement of the first and second coils on each stator cell 101 can also be such that a plurality of second coils 600 are spaced between every two first coils 500. This is not exemplified in the present embodiment.

[0034] The third blocking plate 700 is located between adjacent stator monomers 101 , wherein the third blocking plate 700 abuts or does not abut against the second coil 600 on the adjacent stator monomer 101 . Preferably, the third blocking plate 700 abuts against the second coil 600 on the adjacent stator monomer 101 , thereby ensuring processing accuracy.

[0035] It should be noted that the width can be understood in this way. Taking the stator core 100 as a whole as an example, the axial direction of the stator core 100 is the thickness, the circumferential surface of the stator core 100 is the width, the thickness of the stator monomer 101 is the distance between the upper end face and the lower end face of the stator monomer 101 in the axial direction, and the width of the stator monomer 101 is the distance between the two side faces of the stator monomer 101. Since the stator monomer 101 is a trapezoidal structure, the distance between the two side faces of the stator monomer 101 close to the axis of the stator core 100 is smaller, and the distance between the two side faces of the stator monomer 101 away from the axis of the stator core 100 is larger; and for the coil arranged on the stator monomer 101, the distance between the outer surface of the coil and the inner surface of the coil is the width of the coil.

[0036] The lengths of the first cooling channel 801 and the second cooling channel 802 may be equal or unequal. In the embodiment of the present invention, the length of the first cooling channel 801 is preferably equal to the length of the second cooling channel 802, wherein the first baffle plate 400 is located on the midline between the liquid inlet 201 and the liquid outlet 202; and the second baffle plate 500 is located on the midline between the liquid inlet 201 and the liquid outlet 202. The above is only one arrangement of the first baffle plate 400 and the second baffle plate 500. The first baffle plate 400 and the second baffle plate 500 may also not be arranged on the midline between the liquid inlet 201 and the liquid outlet 202. As long as the structure can separate the first cavity 800 into the first cooling channel 801 and the second cooling channel 802, it can be understood that it falls within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0037] The function of the stator housing 200 is to install the stator core 100, wherein the stator housing 200 includes a stator outer shell 200-1, a stator inner shell 200-2, a front stator plate 200-3 and a rear stator plate 200-4. The stator core 100 is located between the stator outer shell and the stator inner shell 200-2. The front stator plate 200-3 is arranged on the first end face of the stator housing 200-1, and the rear stator plate 200-4 is arranged on the second end face of the stator housing 200-1. The stator housing 200-1, the outside of the stator core 100, the front stator plate 200-3 and the rear stator plate 200-4 form a first cavity 800; the stator inner shell 200-2, the inside of the stator core 100, the front stator plate 200-3 and the rear stator plate 200-4 form a second cavity 900. The above is only one structural form of the stator housing 200 . Any structure that can seal the stator core 100 can be used as the stator housing 200 . The embodiment of the present invention will not be described in detail here.

[0038] In the above structure, one or more of the liquid inlet 201, the liquid outlet 202, the liquid spray port 205 and the liquid return port 206 are provided on the stator housing 200-1, the stator inner housing 200-2, the front stator plate 200-3 or the rear stator plate 200-4. It can be understood here that the liquid inlet 201, the liquid outlet 202, the liquid spray port 205 and the liquid return port 206 can be provided on the stator housing 200-1, or on the stator inner housing 200-2, or on the front stator plate 200-3 or on the rear stator plate 200-4 at the same time; two of the liquid inlet 201, the liquid outlet 202, the liquid spray port 205 and the liquid return port 206 can be provided on the stator housing 200-1, or on the stator inner housing 200-2 at the same time. The liquid inlet 201, the liquid outlet 202, the liquid spray port 205, and the liquid return port 206 are all disposed on the stator housing 200-1, the stator housing 200-2, the front stator plate 200-3, or the rear stator plate 200-4. The liquid inlet 201, the liquid outlet 202, the liquid spray port 205, and the liquid return port 206 are all disposed on the stator housing 200-1, the stator housing 200-2, the front stator plate 200-3, or the rear stator plate 200-4. Of course, the liquid inlet 201, the liquid outlet 202, the liquid spray port 205, and the liquid return port 206 can also be disposed across multiple components. For example, a portion of the liquid inlet channel 203 can be disposed on the stator housing 200-1, a portion of the liquid inlet channel 203 can be disposed on the front stator plate 200-3, a portion of the liquid outlet channel 204 can be disposed on the stator housing 200-1, and a portion of the liquid outlet channel 204 can be disposed on the front stator plate 200-3. In the figure, the liquid inlet 201, the liquid outlet 202, the liquid spray port 205 and the liquid return port 206 are all arranged on the stator housing 200-1.

[0039] In one embodiment of the present invention, there are multiple liquid spray ports 205, and each liquid spray port 205 corresponds to the middle part of the stator monomer 101; or each liquid spray port 205 corresponds to the third cooling channel. In order to extend the residence time of the liquid refrigerant in the first cooling channel 801, the liquid spray port 205 in the present invention corresponds to the middle part of the stator monomer 101. When the liquid refrigerant enters the first cooling channel 801 through the liquid spray port 205, when the pressure is relatively high, it is first sprayed onto the stator monomer 101, and then flows to both sides under the action of reflection from the stator monomer 101, thereby extending the residence time of the liquid refrigerant in the first cooling channel 801 and improving the heat dissipation efficiency.

[0040] The stator core 100 is a segmented core or an integral core.

[0041] The various embodiments in this specification are described in a progressive manner, and each embodiment focuses on the differences from other embodiments. The same or similar parts between the various embodiments can be referenced to each other.

[0042] The above description of the disclosed embodiments is intended to enable one skilled in the art to implement or use the present invention. Various modifications to these embodiments will be readily apparent to one skilled in the art, and the general principles defined herein may be implemented in other embodiments without departing from the spirit or scope of the present invention. Therefore, the present invention is not limited to the embodiments shown herein but is intended to conform to the widest scope consistent with the principles and novel features disclosed herein.
