AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

After a long time of working, the electric tractor power supply causes creep and plastic deformation inside the material due to high temperature, which in turn causes cracks, hollows, etc., which seriously affects the power output performance. The existing graphite flake heat dissipation method is not enough to solve this problem.

Method used

A thermal management device for power supply of electric tractors is designed, including U-shaped feeding plates, graphite sheets, heat dissipation fans, temperature sensors and micro switches. The electric telescopic rod is controlled by a temperature sensor to push the displacement of the heat dissipation fan, so that its outlet end is located directly under the graphite sheet, achieving efficient heat dissipation. When the surface temperature of the graphite sheet decreases, the heat dissipation fan will automatically turn off, allowing the graphite sheet to dissipate heat naturally.

Benefits of technology

It effectively solves the problem of insufficient heat dissipation of the power supply, extends the service life of the power supply, improves the power output performance, and ensures the stable operation of the electric tractor during long-term work.

Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of electric tractors, and in particular to a power supply thermal management device for electric tractors. Background Art

[0002] Aircraft tractors are classified into two types according to the traction method: aircraft tractors with a pole and aircraft tractors without a pole. In the early days, aircraft tractors with a pole were the only traditional tractors used for aircraft dispatching, which could meet the traction matching requirements for different aircraft. With the development of society, aircraft tractors without a pole have appeared in everyone's field of vision and are becoming increasingly mature.

[0003] According to the power energy classification, tractors are divided into three types: fuel-driven, hybrid and electric-driven. Electric tractors have the advantages of high energy conversion efficiency, low noise, no exhaust emissions and easy control. At present, fuel-driven aircraft tractors are mostly used, but with the increase in environmental governance efforts, relevant departments are considering replacing internal combustion tractors with electric tractors, and the demand for electric tractors in airports, railway stations and postal and telecommunications departments is also becoming increasingly prominent.

[0004] Compared with large aircraft tractors with manned vehicles, wireless electric tractors are smaller and more convenient. Manned tractors often have a cab and require many operating levers to complete the work. At the same time, multiple people often cooperate to drive a tractor. In the MOTOTOK electric tractor, all control buttons are integrated in a small remote control. Only one remote control is needed to easily complete the work of tractor aircraft, saving manpower. At the same time, this is a pure electric aircraft tractor, which uses electric drive to be more environmentally friendly. There is a drive wheel and a free wheel on each side of the tractor. The steering is achieved by the differential speed of the left and right drive wheels. The turning radius is very large, and the drive wheels are driven by two motors. The left and right sides of the vehicle are also equipped with 4 large-capacity 12V batteries. The 4 12V batteries are first connected in series to form a 48V battery pack, and then the battery packs on the left and right sides are connected in parallel to power the tractor.

[0005] The power supply of an electric tractor has become an important component of the tractor. A large amount of heat is generated when the power supply is working. Short-term use will not affect the output efficiency of the driving power supply. After long-term operation, the high temperature will cause creep and plastic deformation inside the power supply material, and then produce cracks, voids, etc., which seriously affect the output performance of the power supply. Nowadays, the heat dissipation of the power supply is generally only carried out through graphite sheets. The heat dissipation effect is acceptable for short-term use, but the heat dissipation is insufficient for long-term work. Summary of the invention

[0006] The object of the present invention is to provide a power supply thermal management device for an electric tractor to solve the problems raised in the above background technology.

[0007] To achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the present invention provides the following technical solutions: an electric tractor power supply thermal management device comprises a U-shaped loading plate, wherein the U-shaped loading plate and a supporting bottom plate are connected by a supporting cross plate, a plurality of second positioning screw holes are arranged on one side of the upper surface of the U-shaped loading plate, a graphite sheet is placed on one side of the upper surface of the U-shaped loading plate, the graphite sheet and the U-shaped loading plate are threadedly connected by a plurality of positioning bolts, the positioning bolts are threadedly connected to the second positioning screw holes that are directly opposite to each other, a temperature sensor is fixedly installed on the upper surface of the U-shaped loading plate near the graphite sheet, limiting sliding grooves are arranged on both sides of the inner wall of the U-shaped loading plate, a limiting sliding block is slidably connected to the interior of each limiting sliding groove, a heat dissipation fan is fixedly connected between the two limiting sliding blocks, a plurality of heat dissipation through holes are arranged at the center of the lower surface of the U-shaped loading plate, the heat dissipation through holes are located below the heat dissipation fan, an electric telescopic rod is fixedly installed at the center of the inner wall of the U-shaped loading plate, and the telescopic end on one side of the electric telescopic rod is connected to the heat dissipation fan. One side of the fan is fixedly connected, a first microswitch is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the U-shaped material placing plate near the graphite sheet, and a second microswitch is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the U-shaped material placing plate away from the graphite sheet, the first microswitch and the second microswitch are both opposite to the position of the heat dissipation fan, and the upper surface of the U-shaped material placing plate and the graphite sheet are both provided with a plurality of first positioning screw holes; the purpose of such arrangement is: to dissipate the heat of the power supply used for a short period of time through the provided graphite sheet, and the power supply used for a long period of time or a short period of time will make the surface temperature of the graphite sheet too high, so that the temperature sensor controls the electric telescopic rod to extend, and the electric telescopic rod pushes the heat dissipation fan to move, so that the air outlet end of the heat dissipation fan is located directly below the graphite sheet to dissipate the heat of the graphite sheet, when the surface temperature of the graphite sheet decreases, the temperature sensor causes the electric telescopic rod to contract, and the electric telescopic rod pulls the heat dissipation fan to move, and when the heat dissipation fan contacts the second microswitch, the second microswitch turns off the heat dissipation fan and stops the electric telescopic rod from contracting, at which time space can be left under the graphite sheet to facilitate natural heat dissipation of the graphite sheet.

[0008] Preferably, four supporting upright plates are fixedly connected to the edge of the upper surface of the supporting bottom plate.

[0009] Preferably, a plurality of positioning through holes are formed on one side of each of the supporting uprights.

[0010] Preferably, a supporting cross plate is inserted and connected between every two adjacent positioning through holes.

[0011] Preferably, the upper surfaces of the two supporting transverse plates are in contact with the lower surface of the U-shaped placing plate.

[0012] Preferably, one end of the upper surface of the two supporting horizontal plates is fixedly connected with a pull ring.

[0013] Technical effects and advantages of the present invention: The device dissipates heat for short-term power supply through the graphite sheet. Long-term short-term power supply will make the surface temperature of the graphite sheet too high, so that the temperature sensor controls the electric telescopic rod to extend, and the electric telescopic rod pushes the heat dissipation fan to move, so that the air outlet of the heat dissipation fan is located directly below the graphite sheet to dissipate heat for the graphite sheet. When the surface temperature of the graphite sheet decreases, the temperature sensor causes the electric telescopic rod to shrink, and the electric telescopic rod pulls the heat dissipation fan to move. When the heat dissipation fan contacts the second micro switch, the second micro switch turns off the heat dissipation fan and stops the electric telescopic rod from shrinking. At this time, space can be left under the graphite sheet to facilitate the natural heat dissipation of the graphite sheet, thereby solving the problem of insufficient heat dissipation only through the graphite sheet. The pull-out ring, the supporting horizontal plate and the positioning through hole are provided to provide different use heights for the power supply to adapt to different height use requirements of the power supply.
