Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present application belongs to the field of aircraft technology, and in particular relates to an aviation drive motor, an aircraft propulsion device, and an aircraft. Background Art
[0002] With the continuous advancement of aviation technology, the performance requirements of modern aircraft are constantly increasing, placing more stringent standards on parameters such as power unit efficiency, weight, and size. Traditional aircraft power units are gradually showing limitations in these key indicators, making it difficult to meet the development needs of high performance and low energy consumption.
[0003] As an emerging technology in the field of electric motors, axial flux motors, with their outstanding advantages such as high power density, high efficiency, and compact structural design, provide new ideas and solutions for upgrading aircraft power systems. The introduction of axial flux motors into the aircraft field is expected to fundamentally break through the bottlenecks of traditional power units and achieve significant improvements in aircraft performance. However, due to their inherent structural characteristics, existing axial flux motors have problems with heat dissipation and low heat dissipation efficiency. Moreover, when axial flux motors are used in aircraft propulsion systems, as the aircraft's flight altitude increases, the air becomes thinner and the convective heat dissipation effect deteriorates, further increasing the heat dissipation difficulty of the motor. In addition, due to their structural characteristics, axial flux motors generate large centrifugal forces during operation, which intensify the vibration of the motor during operation. At the same time, their electromagnetic torque fluctuates relatively greatly, which also leads to increased motor vibration. This vibration may be transmitted to the aircraft's fuselage structure through the mounting bracket. Long-term accumulation may affect the structural stability of the aircraft, leading to problems such as loose components and fatigue damage.

[0047] Reference Figures 1-6 As shown, the present application discloses an aviation drive motor and an aircraft propulsion device. The aviation drive motor is applied to the aircraft propulsion device to provide power for the power mechanism of the aircraft propulsion device.
[0048] In one example, continue with Figure 1 As shown, the aircraft propulsion device in the present application includes a duct 1, a ducted fan propeller 2 is used inside the duct 1 as a power mechanism, and an aviation drive motor 3 is connected to the ducted fan propeller 2 to drive the ducted fan propeller 2 to rotate. In order to improve the heat dissipation capacity of the aviation drive motor in the present application so that it can be better applied to the aircraft propulsion device, and also as a preferred embodiment of the present application, the motor cooling mechanism of the aviation drive motor in the present application scheme includes a motor housing 31 and a cooling circulation mechanism arranged between the stator 32 and the rotor 33 of the aviation drive motor 3, the stator 32 includes a mounting disk 321 and a plurality of coil windings 322 arranged on the mounting disk 321, the plurality of coil windings 322 are arranged at intervals along the circumference of the mounting disk 321, the cooling circulation mechanism is arranged in the air gap 34 between the stator 32 and the rotor 33 and / or the gap between the plurality of coil windings 322, and the cooling circulation mechanism is connected to the motor housing 31, and also includes a motor vibration damping mechanism, the motor vibration damping mechanism includes a stator adjustment mechanism connected to the stator 32, the stator adjustment mechanism drives the stator 32 to move axially to adjust the axial distance between the stator 32 and the rotor 33.
[0049] In the above scheme, the use of the above-mentioned motor cooling mechanism can improve the heat dissipation efficiency and heat dissipation effect of the aviation drive motor 3 in the aircraft propulsion device, and by setting the stator adjustment mechanism, the distance between the stator 32 and the rotor 33 of the aviation drive motor 3 can be adjusted, that is, the air gap 34 can be adjusted to keep the distribution of the magnetic field in the air gap 34 between the stator 32 and the rotor 33 stable, reduce the electromagnetic force fluctuation and thus reduce the vibration generated during the operation of the motor, which is conducive to ensuring the high efficiency and stability of the aviation drive motor 3 during the propulsion process, and thus ensuring the high efficiency and stability of the entire aircraft propulsion device during operation, and ensuring the flight safety of the aircraft.
[0050] Further, refer to Figure 2 、 Figure 3As shown, the cooling circulation mechanism includes a cooling jacket 41 and circulating blades 42 connected to the cooling jacket 41. The circulating blades 42 are arranged around the circumference of the cooling jacket 41 and are arranged corresponding to the gaps between two adjacent coil windings 322. A first circulation passage 411 for the flow of coolant is provided inside the cooling jacket 41, and a second circulation passage 421 for the flow of coolant is provided inside the circulating blades 42. The second circulation passage 421 is connected to the first circulation passage 411, and the motor housing 31 is also provided with an external circulation passage 313. In the above scheme, the coolant enters the first circulation passage 411 and is diverted to each second circulation passage 421 through the first circulation passage 411 to perform heat exchange cooling on the stator 32 and the rotor 33 from the inside out. At the same time, the external circulation passage 313 inside the motor housing 31 is used to cool the entire motor structure inside and outside, greatly improving the heat dissipation efficiency of the motor to ensure its working efficiency and stability during the operation of the aircraft propulsion device.
[0051] In one example, continue with Figure 3 As shown, the mounting plate 321 is provided with a plurality of mounting grooves 3211 on the side facing the stator 32, and a cooling jacket mounting seat 3212 is provided in the middle of the radial mounting plate 321. The cooling jacket 41 is provided in the mounting seat, and a plurality of coil windings 322 are correspondingly provided in the mounting grooves 3211. The circulating blades 42 are provided in the middle of the interval between two adjacent mounting grooves 3211. This arrangement greatly reduces the difficulty of processing and manufacturing the motor stator 32, especially reduces the difficulty of manufacturing and uniformly arranging the coil windings 322, and can reserve space for the installation of the circulating blades 42, thereby improving assembly efficiency. Continue to refer to Figure 3 As shown, preferably, in this example, an air hole 3213 is provided between two adjacent mounting grooves 3211, which penetrates the mounting disk 321 axially. The air hole 3213 extends radially along the mounting disk 321 and the width of the air hole 3213 is greater than the thickness of the circulating blade 42. The cooling circulation mechanism also includes a forced cooling fan 43 arranged on the side of the mounting disk 321 away from the rotor 33. The cooling air blown out by the forced cooling fan 43 is blown toward one side of the rotor 33 through the air hole 3213, and after passing through the air hole 3213, it is diverted by the circulating blade 42 and enters the air gap 34 close to the coil winding 322 on both sides of the circulating blade 42.
[0052] At the same time, refer to Figure 2As shown, the motor housing 31 is also provided with a plurality of air outlets 311 arranged circumferentially around the motor housing 31 corresponding to the air gap 34. The air outlets 311 are connected to the air gap 34 and the air duct in the duct 1, and the end of the air outlet 311 connected to the duct 1 opens along the axial direction of the duct 1 toward the air duct outlet of the duct 1. In the above scheme, the cooling air flows along the path of the air hole 3213 - both sides of the circulation blade 42 - the air gap 34 - the air outlet 311 - the duct 1, which can increase the flow speed of the gas inside the motor and blow the cooled gas on both sides of the circulation blade 42 into the air gap 34 to assist in heat dissipation of the rotor 33. In the above scheme, the direction of the air outlet 311 is the same as the direction of gas discharge in the duct 1, thereby preventing the cooling air from being unable to be discharged through the air outlet 311 due to excessive air pressure in the duct 1, and also increasing the rate of cooling air discharge.
[0053] Further, refer to Figure 4 As shown, the cooling circulation mechanism also includes a centrifugal airflow channel 333. The rotor 33 includes a rotor disk 331 and a magnet 332 arranged on the rotor disk. The centrifugal airflow channel 333 is arranged on the side of the rotor disk 331 facing the stator 32, and includes a plurality of radial grooves arranged radially. There are multiple magnets 332, and the multiple magnets 332 are arranged corresponding to the coil winding 322 and arranged at intervals along the circumference of the rotor disk 331. The radial grooves are arranged in the gap between two adjacent magnets 332. By setting up the centrifugal airflow channel 333, the centrifugal force generated when the rotor 33 rotates at high speed can be used to automatically form a directional airflow channel. Forced convection heat dissipation can be achieved without the need for an additional power device, which is beneficial to reducing the volume and structural complexity of the cooling structure and achieving a lightweight design of the motor. In addition, by adopting the above structure, the cooling air can be accelerated to be discharged from the air outlet 311 on the motor housing 31, thereby improving the cooling efficiency.
[0054] Continue to refer to Figure 4As shown, preferably, the radial groove includes interconnected straight segments 3331 and curved segments 3332. The radial curved segments 3332 are arranged along the edge of the rotor disk 331. In the above solution, when the cooling airflow passes through the curved segments 3332, centrifugal force generates a circulation perpendicular to the main flow direction, breaking the laminar boundary layer and enhancing the heat exchange intensity between the cooling airflow and the surface of the magnet 332. The straight segments 3331 can avoid excessive turbulent energy loss caused by a purely curved spiral structure. In other words, the segmented flow channel design not only maintains the stability of the directional flow, but also enhances heat dissipation through local spiral disturbances, thereby enhancing the turbulence effect and heat dissipation efficiency. At the same time, since the straight section 3331 extends radially along the rotor disk 331, it can ensure that the cooling airflow can evenly cover the rotor disk 331, avoiding local overheating. The straight section 3331 can reduce the pressure head loss caused by continuous turning of the pure curved spiral flow channel, and the curved section 3332 assists in propelling the fluid through centrifugal force. The combination of the two reduces the total pressure drop by 15%-20% compared with a single curved spiral structure. Under high-speed conditions, the centrifugal force of the curved section 3332 dominates the flow acceleration, and at low speeds, the straight section 3331 maintains the basic flow rate, ensuring cooling stability under all operating conditions.
[0055] Further, refer to Figure 2 As shown, the aforementioned motor housing 31 includes an end cover, and the stator adjustment mechanism includes a drive member and a transmission member. The transmission member is respectively connected to the drive member, the mounting plate 321, and the cooling jacket 41. The drive member drives the mounting plate 321 and the cooling jacket 41 to move axially through the transmission member to adjust the size of the air gap 34 between the stator 32 and the rotor 33. Preferably, the drive member is a micro-motor 51 connected to the end cover of the motor housing 31. The transmission member includes a screw 521 that cooperates with the micro-motor 51 and a connecting seat 522 disposed on the screw 521 and connected to the mounting plate 321 and / or the cooling jacket 41. In the above solution, the micro-motor 51 has high precision and fast response, and can accurately control the adjustment distance of the stator 32 in conjunction with the screw 521 transmission mechanism. In addition, the micro-motor 51 is small in size and light in weight and can be directly disposed on the end cover of the motor housing 31, facilitating installation and commissioning.
[0056] Further, refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, the motor vibration damping mechanism also includes a vibration damping connecting arm and a buffer layer 312 arranged on the inner wall of the motor housing 31, and the two ends of the vibration damping connecting arm are respectively connected to the shell of the duct 1 and the motor housing 31. Preferably, the buffer layer 312 uses a rubber shock-absorbing pad with high damping characteristics to isolate the vibration inside the motor. The vibration damping connecting frame 11 is made of carbon fiber composite material and the vibration damping connecting frame 11 is also provided with a buffer pad at the connection with the duct 1 and the motor housing 31 to absorb vibration and dampen vibration. The use of carbon fiber composite material is also conducive to the lightweight design of the vibration damping connecting frame 11. In the above scheme, the provision of the vibration damping layer and the vibration damping connecting arm can further reduce the vibration transmitted from the motor to the duct 1 and even other parts of the propulsion device, which is conducive to ensuring the structural stability of the aircraft propulsion device.
[0057] Further, refer to Figure 1 As shown, in order to further improve the overall heat dissipation capacity of the aircraft propulsion device in this application, the aircraft propulsion device in this application is also provided with a ducted cooling mechanism. Figure 1 As shown, the ducted cooling structure includes a liquid cooling device 61 and a ducted cooling passage disposed inside the shell of the duct 1. The ducted cooling passage extends and is distributed inside the shell of the duct 1. At the same time, a connecting passage 62 is disposed inside the damping connecting arm 11. The ducted cooling passage and the connecting passage 62 are both connected to the liquid cooling device, and the connecting passage 62 is connected to the first circulation passage 411 in the cooling circulation mechanism. In the above scheme, the ducted cooling mechanism is organically combined with the motor cooling mechanism through the connecting passage. The ducted cooling mechanism can improve the heat dissipation capacity inside the duct 1, thereby providing a better heat dissipation environment for the aviation drive motor 3, and further improving the cooling efficiency of the motor cooling mechanism in this application, thereby improving the working efficiency, operational stability, and safety of the aviation drive motor 3 and the entire flight propulsion device in this application.
[0058] Reference Figure 6 As shown, as a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the aircraft propulsion device of the present invention further includes a monitoring unit 7 and a control unit 8. The monitoring unit 7 includes a temperature monitoring element for monitoring the temperature of the coil winding 322 and a distance monitoring element for monitoring the size of the air gap 34. The control unit 8 is respectively connected to the monitoring unit 7, the liquid cooling device 61, and the stator adjustment mechanism. The provision of the monitoring unit 7 enables real-time monitoring of the motor temperature and the distance between the stator 32 and the rotor 33. In conjunction with the control unit 8, the operating state of the cooling unit and the stator adjustment mechanism can be adjusted in a timely and accurate manner to maintain the entire aircraft propulsion device in optimal operating condition, ensure the stability of the aircraft propulsion device, and thus facilitate the flight safety of the aircraft.
