Preferably, the air inlet part 211 and the air outlet part 212 in this embodiment are both sleeved on the outer periphery of the housing 150 and are respectively provided with an air inlet 2111 and an air outlet 2121.

It can be understood that when the cooling air enters the gap between the rotor 120 and the stator 110, the heat on the rotor 120 can be transferred to the cooling air, that is, the cooling air can absorb the heat of the rotor 120, the temperature of the cooling air after absorbing the heat will be increased, that is, the temperature of the cooling air flowing out of the air outlet 2121 is high, in order to ensure that the cooling air re-entering the motor interior from the air inlet 2111 can effectively cool and heat dissipate the rotor 120, the air-water cooler 216 is arranged between the fan 215 and the air outlet 2121 in the embodiment, the air-water cooler 216 cools the cooling air flowing out of the air outlet 2121.

The heat transferred to the bearing 160 by the rotor 120 can be transferred to the heat dissipation plate 231 through the mounting plate 232. Since the heat dissipation plate 231 arranged on the front end cover 130 is located in the gap between the front end cover 130 and the stator 110, the heat transferred to the heat dissipation plate 231 arranged on the front end cover 130 can be transferred to the cooling air in the gap between the front end cover 130 and the stator 110. Correspondingly, since the heat dissipation plate 231 arranged on the rear end cover 140 is located in the gap between the rear end cover 140 and the stator 110, the heat transferred to the heat dissipation plate 231 arranged on the rear end cover 140 can be transferred to the cooling air in the gap between the rear end cover 140 and the stator 110, thereby cooling and dissipating heat for the bearing 160.

[0055] Preferably, the first water passage 223 and the second water passage 224 are arranged on the shell 150, in other words, the water cooling unit in the embodiment further comprises the first water passage 223 and the second water passage 224 arranged on the shell 150, the first water passage 223 and the second water passage 224 are respectively communicated with two ends of the groove 222, that is, the first water passage 223 and the second water passage 224 are respectively communicated with two ends of the water channel 221, the embodiment can inject cooling water into the water channel 221 through the first water passage 223, and the cooling water can flow out of the water channel 221 through the second water passage 224.

[0056] In order to save energy, the motor cooling system in the embodiment further comprises a control unit, the control unit is configured to control the air cooling unit and / or the water cooling unit to start or stop cooling, the control unit can control the air cooling unit to start cooling the rotor 120 when the temperature of the rotor 120 rises to be greater than the first preset temperature, and can control the air cooling unit to stop cooling when the temperature of the rotor 120 drops to be less than the second preset temperature, correspondingly, the control unit can also control the water cooling unit to start cooling when the temperature of the stator 110 rises to be greater than the third preset temperature, and can control the water cooling unit to stop cooling when the temperature of the stator 110 drops to be less than the fourth preset temperature.

[0057] In the embodiment, the control unit comprises a controller (not shown in the figure), a first temperature sensor 241 and a second temperature sensor 242, the first temperature sensor 241 and the second temperature sensor 242 are both in communication connection with the controller, the first temperature sensor 241 and the second temperature sensor 242 are respectively arranged on the rotor 120 and the stator 110, and can respectively detect the temperature of the rotor 120 and the stator 110, the first temperature sensor 241 can detect whether the temperature of the rotor 120 is greater than the first preset temperature or less than the second preset temperature, when the temperature of the rotor 120 is greater than the first preset temperature or less than the second preset temperature, the first temperature sensor 241 can send an electric signal to the controller, the controller can control the air cooling unit to start or stop cooling according to the electric signal transmitted by the first temperature sensor 241, correspondingly, the second temperature sensor 242 can detect whether the temperature of the stator 110 is greater than the third preset temperature or less than the fourth preset temperature, when the temperature of the stator 110 is greater than the third preset temperature or less than the fourth preset temperature, the second temperature sensor 242 can send an electric signal to the controller, the controller can control the water cooling unit to start or stop cooling according to the electric signal transmitted by the second temperature sensor 242.

[0058] Since the rotor 120 needs to rotate around its axis during the operation of the motor, the first temperature sensor 241 arranged on the rotor 120 cannot be directly connected with the controller through a lead wire. Therefore, the control unit in the embodiment further comprises a signal transmitter 243 connected to the rotor 120 and connected with the first temperature sensor 241 through a first lead wire 244. The first temperature sensor 241 can transmit an electric signal to the signal transmitter 243, and the signal transmitter 243 further transmits the electric signal to the controller.

[0059] Compared with the rotor 120, the stator 110 remains stationary during the operation of the motor. Therefore, the second temperature sensor 242 arranged on the stator 110 is directly connected with the controller through a second lead wire (not shown in the figure).

[0060] Based on the above description, the motor cooling system in the embodiment is provided with an auxiliary cooling unit 230 for cooling the bearing 160. As described above, the auxiliary cooling unit 230 is cooled by the air cooling unit, and the temperature of the bearing 160 also affects whether the motor can work normally. Therefore, in addition to the temperature of the rotor 120, the start or stop of the air cooling unit is also related to the temperature of the bearing 160. In order to accurately control the start or stop of the air cooling unit, the front end cover 130 and the rear end cover 140 are both provided with a temperature measuring hole 131 communicating with the inner hole thereof. The third temperature sensor 245 is arranged in the temperature measuring hole 131 of the front end cover 130 and the rear end cover 140. The third temperature sensor 245 is in communication connection with the controller. The third temperature sensor 245 can detect the temperature of the bearing 160. When the temperature of the bearing 160 is greater than a fifth preset temperature or less than a sixth preset temperature, the third temperature sensor 245 can send an electric signal to the controller. When the air cooling unit does not cool the rotor 120, the temperatures of the rotor 120 and the bearing 160 gradually increase. When only one of the temperatures of the rotor 120 and the bearing 160 is too high, the controller controls the air cooling unit to start cooling after the first temperature sensor 241 or the third temperature sensor 245 sends an electric signal to the controller. After the air cooling unit starts cooling, the temperatures of the rotor 120 and the bearing 160 gradually decrease. When the first temperature sensor 241 and the third temperature sensor 245 both send an electric signal to the controller, the controller controls the air cooling unit to stop cooling.

[0061] Obviously, the above embodiments of the present application are merely exemplary but not intended to limit the embodiments of the present application. Various obvious changes, re-adjustments and substitutions can be made by those skilled in the art without departing from the scope of the present application.
