Description
Technical Field
[0001] This application relates to the field of generators, and more particularly to a generator. Background Technology
[0002] Generators have a wide range of applications in industrial and agricultural production, national defense, science and technology, and daily life. A generator is a mechanical device that converts mechanical energy into electrical energy. It is driven by a water turbine, steam turbine, diesel engine, or other power machinery, converting the energy generated by water flow, air flow, fuel combustion, or nuclear fission into mechanical energy, which is then transferred to the generator and converted into electrical energy.
[0003] During operation, the copper losses, iron losses, permanent magnet eddy current losses, and mechanical losses generated by the generator cause the temperature of various components to rise. High temperatures not only degrade generator performance but also cause reliability issues. For example, the increased wire resistance and reduced remanence of permanent magnets caused by high temperatures significantly reduce the power and efficiency of permanent magnet motors. High temperatures also cause a significant decrease in insulation life and irreversible demagnetization of permanent magnets, severely affecting the generator's service life.
[0004] Small generators are widely used due to their small size and light weight. Currently, small generators generally consist of a housing and a working device installed inside the housing. For easy movement, casters are also provided at the bottom of the housing. To prevent the noise generated by the generator during operation from directly affecting the environment, sound-absorbing cotton is also installed on the inner wall of the housing. The sound-absorbing cotton reduces the transmission of generator noise, achieving the purpose of noise reduction and quiet operation.
[0005] However, the installation of sound-absorbing cotton reduces the generator's heat dissipation efficiency and affects its service life. Summary of the Invention
[0006] In order to improve the heat dissipation efficiency of a generator, this application provides a generator.
[0007] The generator provided in this application adopts the following technical solution:
[0008] A generator includes a housing, a generator motor, a water tank, an outlet pipe, a heat dissipation pipe, an inlet pipe, an impeller, and sound-absorbing cotton. The housing has a receiving cavity, the generator motor housing is connected to the bottom wall of the receiving cavity, the water tank is connected to the outer wall of the housing, the water tank has a water storage cavity, one end of the outlet pipe is connected to the water storage cavity, the other end of the outlet pipe is connected to one end of the heat dissipation pipe, the other end of the heat dissipation pipe is connected to one end of the inlet pipe, the other end of the inlet pipe is connected to the water storage cavity, the impeller is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the water storage cavity, the impeller is coaxially arranged with the inlet of the inlet pipe, the heat dissipation pipe is wound around the outer wall of the generator motor housing, and the sound-absorbing cotton is connected to the inner wall of the receiving cavity.
[0009] By adopting the above technical solutions, the sound-absorbing cotton reduces the transmission of generator noise, thus achieving the purpose of noise reduction. The impeller rotation enables water to circulate in the water storage chamber, outlet pipe, heat dissipation pipe, and inlet pipe, thereby achieving the purpose of heat dissipation for the generator motor and improving the generator's heat dissipation efficiency.
[0010] Preferably, the outer wall of the water tank is provided with a water inlet, one end of the water inlet pipe is connected to the inner wall of the water inlet, a ring body is coaxially provided on the outer periphery of the water inlet, the ring body is connected to the inner wall of the water storage cavity, and the impeller is coaxially provided in the ring body.
[0011] By adopting the above technical solution, the impeller rotates inside the ring, which reduces the pressure inside the ring and makes it easier to control the water intake through the inlet pipe.
[0012] Preferably, it further includes a first synchronous pulley, a drive shaft, a second synchronous pulley, and a synchronous belt. The motor shaft of the generator is coaxially and fixedly connected to a rotating shaft. The first synchronous pulley is coaxially and fixedly connected to the outer periphery of the rotating shaft. The drive shaft is rotatably connected to the water tank. The rotation axis of the drive shaft is parallel to the axis of the rotating shaft. The impeller is disposed in the water storage cavity and coaxially and fixedly connected to the outer periphery of the drive shaft. The second synchronous pulley is coaxially and fixedly connected to the outer periphery of the drive shaft. The synchronous belt is sleeved on the outer periphery of the first and second synchronous pulleys.
[0013] By adopting the above technical solution, the combustion of gasoline in the internal combustion engine controls the rotation of the crankshaft connecting rod, which in turn controls the rotation of the motor shaft. The rotating shaft is fixed coaxially with the motor shaft, so that the rotating shaft follows the rotation. The rotating shaft drives the drive shaft to rotate through the synchronous pulley and synchronous belt, which in turn controls the rotation of the impeller, realizing water circulation and achieving water cooling for the generator motor, thus improving the heat dissipation efficiency of the generator.
[0014] Preferably, it also includes a sliding plate, which is slidably connected to the inner wall of the receiving cavity. The sound-absorbing cotton is connected to the end of the sliding plate facing the generator motor. The sound-absorbing cotton has a through hole. The sliding plate has a connecting hole. The connecting hole and the through hole are arranged opposite to each other. The outer wall of the box has heat dissipation holes. The heat dissipation holes are used to allow air to pass through the through hole and the connecting hole and then enter the receiving cavity for heat dissipation.
[0015] By adopting the above technical solution, water circulation is used to cool the generator. If the water heats up too quickly in a certain environment and cannot control the cooling of the generator, the sliding plate is controlled to slide so that the heat dissipation holes and through holes are aligned, which facilitates air cooling and improves heat dissipation efficiency by sacrificing some of the generator noise reduction.
[0016] Preferably, it further includes a fixing block and a thermal expansion block. The fixing block is connected to the inner wall of the receiving cavity. The fixing block has a fixing groove at one end facing the sliding plate. The length direction of the fixing groove is parallel to the sliding direction of the sliding plate. One end of the thermal expansion block is connected to the bottom of the fixing groove, and the other end of the thermal expansion block is connected to the sliding plate.
[0017] By adopting the above technical solution, the heated expansion block expands under heat in the cavity, automatically pushing the sliding plate to open the heat dissipation holes, realizing air cooling, which is easy to operate and improves the heat dissipation efficiency of the generator.
[0018] Preferably, it also includes a fan, which is coaxially fixedly connected to the outer periphery of the rotating shaft, and the fan is located on the side of the first synchronous pulley away from the generator motor.
[0019] By adopting the above technical solution, when the heat dissipation holes are open, the fan improves the heat dissipation efficiency of air cooling by accelerating air convection.
[0020] Preferably, the inner wall of the receiving cavity is provided with a groove, the sliding plate is slidably embedded in the groove, and one side of the sliding plate is attached to the inner wall of the receiving cavity.
[0021] By adopting the above technical solution, the groove guides the sliding of the sliding plate, making the sliding plate slide stably and easy to control.
[0022] Preferably, it also includes a synchronizing rod, and the sliding plate is provided with multiple sliding plates, with the two ends of the synchronizing rod respectively connected to two opposite sliding plates.
[0023] By adopting the above technical solution, the synchronizing rod controls the two opposing sliding plates to move synchronously, so that the opposite heat dissipation holes open synchronously, which facilitates air convection and improves heat dissipation efficiency.
[0024] In summary, this application includes at least one of the following beneficial technical effects:
[0025] 1. The sound-absorbing cotton reduces the transmission of generator noise, thus achieving the purpose of noise reduction. The impeller rotation enables water to circulate in the water storage chamber, outlet pipe, heat dissipation pipe and inlet pipe, which achieves the purpose of heat dissipation of generator motor and improves the heat dissipation efficiency of generator.
[0026] 2. The combustion of gasoline in the internal combustion engine controls the rotation of the crankshaft connecting rod, which in turn controls the rotation of the motor shaft. The rotating shaft is fixed coaxially with the motor shaft, so that the rotating shaft follows the rotation. The rotating shaft drives the drive shaft to rotate through the synchronous pulley and synchronous belt, which in turn controls the rotation of the impeller to realize water circulation, thereby achieving water cooling of the generator motor and improving the heat dissipation efficiency of the generator.
[0027] 3. Water circulation is used to cool the generator. If the water heats up too quickly in a certain environment and cannot control the cooling of the generator, the sliding plate is controlled to slide so that the heat dissipation holes and through holes are aligned, which facilitates air cooling and improves heat dissipation efficiency by sacrificing some of the generator noise reduction.

When the temperature in the receiving cavity 17 continues to rise, the thermal expansion block 74 expands due to heat, pushing the sliding plate 71 to slide so that the heat dissipation hole 151 is aligned with the connection hole 711, the heat dissipation hole 151 opens, and the fan 75 rotates to accelerate the air flow in the receiving cavity 17, realizing air cooling.
