Figure 2 is a structural schematic diagram of a first gas flow passage and a second gas flow passage of a motor assembly according to an embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0095] As shown in Figure 1 and Figure 2 , the motor assembly 10 of the present disclosure can include components such as a driving device 100, a first frame 200, a second frame 300, and an impeller assembly 400.

[0096] The driving device 100 is configured to generate a driving force. In one embodiment, the driving device 100 can be an electric motor, such as a direct current motor. In this case, the driving device 100 can include components such as a stator, a rotor, and a rotating shaft 101. The stator can be fixed to an upper housing 230, and the rotor can be disposed on the rotating shaft 101. One of the stator and the rotor can be energized, thereby causing the rotating shaft 101 to rotate.

[0097] Figure 3 is a structural schematic diagram of an upper housing according to an embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0098] As shown in Figure 3 , the upper housing 230 can be cup-shaped with an open upper end and a closed lower end. The lower end of the rotating shaft 101 can pass through the upper housing 230 and be disposed below the upper housing 230, and the rotating shaft 101 can be rotatably supported by the upper housing 230. On the other hand, the interior of the upper housing 230 can be provided with a bracket portion 102, and the upper end of the rotating shaft 101 can be rotatably disposed in the bracket portion 102, thereby fixing the axial position of the rotating shaft 101.

[0099] Figure 4 is a structural schematic view of a bracket portion according to one embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0100] In one preferred aspect, as shown in Figure 4 , the bracket portion 102 has a hollow structure to meet the gas flow requirement.

[0101] As shown in Figure 1 and Figure 2 , the first frame 200 is arranged at least partially around the driving device 100, and a first gas flow passage 500 is defined by the first frame 200, wherein the inlet of the first gas flow passage 500 is located at the lower end of the first frame 200; that is, the first gas flow passage 500 is formed as a suction passage, so that the motor assembly 10 forms a suction device. More preferably, the outlet of the first gas flow passage 500 is located at the middle of the first frame 200, whereby when the impeller assembly 400 rotates, gas can be sucked from the inlet of the first gas flow passage 500 and discharged from the outlet of the first gas flow passage 500 via the impeller assembly 400, at this time, the gas on the upstream side of the impeller assembly 400 forms a negative pressure state along the gas flow direction in the first gas flow passage 500.

[0102] As shown in Figure 1 and Figure 2 , the second frame 300 is arranged at least partially around the first frame 200, and the second frame 300 is composed of a damping material and is configured to be detachably connected to the first frame 200. In one preferred embodiment, the shape of the second frame 300 matches the space of the installation position of the motor assembly 10, whereby different models of products and different installation positions can be matched by changing the shape of the second frame 300.

[0103] That is, the second frame 300 of the present disclosure is formed in a replaceable form, and at the same time, the second frame 300 forms a cooling air duct and also has a damping function.

[0104] The present disclosure simultaneously realizes the formation of a cooling air duct and damping by a replaceable outer frame.

[0105] In one specific embodiment, the lower end of the second frame 300 can support the first frame 200, that is, when the second frame 300 is installed on other components, the first frame 200 can also be fixed at the same time.

[0106] At this time, the lower end of the second frame 300 is in an open shape, and gas can enter the first gas flow passage 500 through the lower end of the second frame 300.

[0107] As shown in FIG. 1, the motor assembly 10 of the present disclosure comprises a first gas flow passage 500, which can also be referred to as a gas flow passage for the first gas flow passage 500. In other words, when the motor assembly 10 is in operation, the first gas flow passage 500 is internally filled with gas, and the gas flowing in the first gas flow passage 500 can flow through the stator and the rotor of the driving device 100, thereby cooling the stator and the rotor of the driving device 100. Further, the gas flowing in the first gas flow passage 500 can flow through the components of the driving device 100 that generate a large amount of heat, such as the motor controller, thereby cooling these components. Figure 2 As shown in FIG. 1, the motor assembly 10 of the present disclosure comprises a second gas flow passage 600, which can also be referred to as a cooling passage. In other words, when the motor assembly 10 is in operation, the second gas flow passage 600 is internally filled with gas, and the gas flowing in the second gas flow passage 600 can flow through the stator and the rotor of the driving device 100, thereby cooling the stator and the rotor of the driving device 100. Further, the gas flowing in the second gas flow passage 600 can flow through the components of the driving device 100 that generate a large amount of heat, such as the motor controller, thereby cooling these components.

[0108] In one embodiment, at least a portion of the second gas flow passage 600 passes through at least a portion of the driving device 100, and at least a portion of the second gas flow passage 600 is formed between the first frame 200 and the second frame 300. The outlet of the second gas flow passage 600 is located adjacent to the inlet of the first gas flow passage 500, so that the gas in the second gas flow passage 600 can be sucked by the negative pressure at the inlet of the first gas flow passage 500, and the gas in the second gas flow passage 600 can enter the first gas flow passage 500.

[0109] Structurally, the outlet of the second gas flow passage 600 is located on the upstream side (in the direction of the gas flow in the first gas flow passage 500) of the impeller assembly 400, i.e. between the impeller assembly 400 and the first gas flow passage 500. The driving device 100 drives the impeller assembly 400 to rotate, so that the gas in the first gas flow passage 500 and the second gas flow passage 600 is forced to flow by the rotation of the impeller assembly 400.

[0110] Figure 5 is a structural schematic view of a lower housing according to an embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0111] In one embodiment, as shown in FIG. 1, the motor assembly 10 of the present disclosure comprises a first gas flow passage 500, which can also be referred to as a gas flow passage for the first gas flow passage 500. In other words, when the motor assembly 10 is in operation, the first gas flow passage 500 is internally filled with gas, and the gas flowing in the first gas flow passage 500 can flow through the stator and the rotor of the driving device 100, thereby cooling the stator and the rotor of the driving device 100. Further, the gas flowing in the first gas flow passage 500 can flow through the components of the driving device 100 that generate a large amount of heat, such as the motor controller, thereby cooling these components. Figure 1 and Figure 5As shown, the first frame 200 includes a lower housing 210, which can also be referred to as a shroud, and the outer wall surface (peripheral surface) of the lower housing 210 is provided with at least one longitudinal groove 211, and the longitudinal groove 211 forms a part of the second gas flow passage 600. More specifically, when the second frame 300 is mounted to the first frame 200, i.e., when the first frame 200 and the second frame 300 are fixed, the lengthwise opening of the longitudinal groove 211 is closed by the inner surface of the second frame 300, and thus the longitudinal groove 211 and the inner surface of the first frame 200 together form a cooling air duct. In a preferred embodiment, as shown in Figure 5 The number of longitudinal grooves 211 is three, and the three longitudinal grooves 211 are uniformly distributed along the circumference of the outer wall surface of the lower housing 210.

[0112] In another embodiment, the inner wall surface (peripheral surface) of the second frame 300 is formed with at least one longitudinal groove (not shown in the figure), and the longitudinal groove forms a part of the second gas flow passage 600; that is, the longitudinal groove can be formed in the lower housing 210, or can be formed in the second frame 300, or can be formed in both the lower housing 210 and the second frame 300.

Specifically, the first frame 200 further includes an air guide portion 220, which is fixed to the lower housing 210, for example, is fixed to the upper end of the lower housing 210, and the peripheral surface of the air guide portion 220 is formed with an annular protrusion 221 that cooperates with the annular groove 310, so that the first frame 200 and the second frame 300 are sealingly connected by mounting the annular protrusion 221 in the annular groove 310.

[0115] In the present disclosure, the air guide part 220 is formed with a through hole 222 which is formed as part of the second gas flow channel 600; more preferably, the through hole 222 is in communication with the longitudinal groove of the first frame 200 and / or the second frame 300. In a specific embodiment, the through hole 222 can be a round hole with a diameter of about 3mm, and the number and diameter thereof can be set according to the power of the motor assembly and the working condition of the driving device, for example, the diameter of the through hole 222 can be in the range of 2-5mm, and the number thereof is set to 3 or 4.

[0116] More preferably, the upper housing 230 is formed with a ventilation hole 231 which is in communication with the through hole 222 and makes the internal space of the upper housing 230 part of the second gas flow channel 600; in a specific embodiment, the ventilation hole 231 of the upper housing 230 is located on the side wall of the upper housing 230 close to the lower end, so that the gas in the upper housing 230 flows through the stator and rotor of the motor as much as possible.

[0117] As an implementation form, as shown in Figure 3 The cross-sectional shape of the ventilation hole 231 can be a racetrack shape, of course, those skilled in the art should know that the cross-section of the ventilation hole 231 can be formed into a circular shape, a square shape or other shapes.

[0119] In the present disclosure, as shown in Figure 7 The motor assembly 10 further comprises a cover part 700 which is arranged on the upper housing 230, and the cover part 700 is provided with a hole structure through which gas can enter the interior of the upper housing 230 to cool the driving device 100. More preferably, the control device is arranged in the space formed by the cover part 700 and the upper housing 230, and can be fixed to one of the cover part 700 or the upper housing 230; at this time, the gas entering through the cover part 700 can also cool the control device.

[0120] Figure 8 is a structural schematic diagram of a second frame 300 according to an embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0121] In the present disclosure, a groove is formed on the inner wall surface of the lower end of the second frame 300 to form a damping structure through the groove for damping the driving device 100.

[0126] The first wheel plate 410 and the second wheel plate 420 each have a circular outer contour or a substantially circular outer contour; in a preferred embodiment, the diameter of the circular contour of the second wheel plate 420 is smaller than that of the first wheel plate 410, thereby facilitating the guiding of the gas flow from downstream to upstream.

[0127] When the impeller assembly 400 is driven to rotate by the driving device 100, the impeller assembly 400 has an axis of rotation. The first wheel plate 410 and the second wheel plate 420 each have a central axis, and preferably, the central axis of the first wheel plate 410 is substantially coaxial with the central axis of the second wheel plate 420 and also coaxial with the axis of rotation.
