[0011] The present invention is described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings:

[0012] A direct air cooling structure of a three-phase asynchronous variable frequency motor for electric fracturing, comprising a three-phase asynchronous variable frequency motor and a centrifugal fan drive motor 16, wherein a motor drive end air inlet 2 and a motor non-drive end air outlet 3 are respectively arranged at the top of a three-phase asynchronous variable frequency motor base 1; a closed air inlet 4 is connected to the motor drive end air inlet 2, an air inlet window 5 is arranged on the left side elevation of the closed air inlet 4, an L-shaped isolation plate 6 is arranged in the closed air inlet 4 inside the air inlet window 5, the L-shaped isolation plate 6 divides the inner cavity of the closed air inlet 4 into an upward air induction area 7 and a downward air induction area 8, and a filter screen 10 and an air inlet shutter 11 are respectively arranged on the air inlet window 5; a closed air outlet 12 is connected to the motor non-drive end air outlet 3, and a closed air outlet 12 is connected to the motor non-drive end air outlet 3. A bell-mouth induced draft tube 13 is connected to the left side facade of the closed air outlet duct 12, and a closed centrifugal fan impeller cover 14 is connected to the outlet of the bell-mouth induced draft tube 13. A centrifugal fan impeller 15 is arranged in the closed centrifugal fan impeller cover 14, and an output shaft of a centrifugal fan drive motor 16 arranged at the top of the three-phase asynchronous frequency conversion motor base 1 is extended into the centrifugal fan impeller cover 14 and connected to the centrifugal fan impeller 15.

A rear side air outlet window is arranged on the rear side facade of the centrifugal fan impeller cover 14, and a rear side shutter is arranged on the rear side air outlet window.

[0013] A V-shaped water storage area 9 is arranged at the lower part between the air inlet louver 11 and the L-shaped isolation plate 6, a V-shaped water storage area drain outlet 19 is arranged at the bottom end of the V-shaped water storage area 9, and an impeller cover drain outlet 20 is arranged at the lower end of the centrifugal fan impeller cover 14; the louvers on the air inlet louver 11, the louvers on the front side louvers 18 and the louvers on the rear side louvers are all louvers that are 60 degrees to the upper and lower vertical directions; the filter screen 10 is a stainless steel wire woven screen that prevents 1 mm solid particles from passing through.

[0014] After the centrifugal fan driving motor 16 is started, the centrifugal fan impeller 15 rotates, and the hot air in the cooling motor first enters the closed air outlet 12 vertically through the air outlet 3 at the non-driving end of the motor, and then changes direction through the bell-shaped air induced pipe 13 to enter the centrifugal fan impeller cover 14. Then, driven by the centrifugal fan blades, the hot air is discharged horizontally into the atmosphere through the front air outlet window 17 set on the front side facade of the centrifugal fan impeller cover 14 and the rear air outlet window set on the rear side facade.

The air inlet louver 11 is The rain outside forms a barrier, and the filter 10 prevents 1 mm solid particles from passing through. Some of the rainwater that leaks into the upward air-inducing area 7 will gather in the V-shaped water storage area 9 and be discharged by the V-shaped water storage area drain outlet 19. The establishment of the L-shaped isolation plate 6 and the upward air-inducing area 7 forms a secondary isolation for rainwater, which avoids rainwater and dust from entering the motor to the greatest extent, achieving a high level of motor protection. The external placement of the centrifugal fan provides powerful cooling air for the motor, while meeting the motor's stringent axial size requirements.
