As used in this description of the application, the following terms are defined with the following meanings:
[0020] To solve the problem of insufficient heat dissipation effect of traditional air cooling, and the problem of increasing system complexity and weight of the unmanned aerial vehicle and reducing reliability of water cooling although the heat dissipation efficiency is high, the application provides a heat dissipation structure of an axial flux motor, heat pipe mounting grooves are arranged between each sub-coil positioning cabin of the upper stator positioning plate and the lower stator positioning plate of the stator, so as to fix the heat pipes in the heat pipe mounting grooves, the heat pipes are arranged in the radial direction, the internal heat can be conducted to the outer side wall of the stator positioning plate through the heat pipes, the heat conducted to the outer side wall can be effectively dissipated through the external surface heat dissipation design such as air cooling or water cooling, the internal heat accumulation can be effectively reduced, and the heat dissipation effect is improved.

[0021] In particular, reference is made to Figure 1 and Figure 2The heat dissipation structure of the embodiment is mainly used for an axial flux motor, and is a double-rotor motor, comprising an upper stator positioning plate 110 and a lower stator positioning plate 120, and an upper rotor 210 and a lower rotor 220 arranged above the upper stator positioning plate 110 and below the lower stator positioning plate 120 respectively, and the whole is a symmetrical structure. In this paper, the symmetrical structure is mainly described, and the other half of the symmetry is not described.
[0022] In the embodiment, the surface heat dissipation system is a wind cooling heat dissipation, and the edge positions of the upper stator positioning plate 110 and the lower stator positioning plate 120 are provided with heat dissipation fins 101. The centrifugal air duct 203 is arranged in the upper rotor 210 and the lower rotor 220, the air inlet 201 of the centrifugal air duct 203 is arranged close to the center, and the air outlet 202 is directed to the heat dissipation fin 101. When the rotor rotates, the centrifugal air flow in the centrifugal air duct 203 blows to the heat dissipation fin 101, and the edge area of the upper stator positioning plate 110 and the lower stator positioning plate 120 is cooled.
[0023] Please further refer to Figure 4 In the embodiment, the total thickness of the upper stator positioning plate 110 and the lower stator positioning plate 120 is less than the height of the segmented coil 30 of the stator, and the centrifugal air duct 203 is a guide groove structure arranged on the lower surface of the upper rotor 210 and the upper surface of the lower rotor 220, so that the segmented coil 30 can be exposed outside the upper stator positioning plate 110 and the lower stator positioning plate 120 in the whole machine. The cooling air flow in the centrifugal air duct 203 can also directly act on the upper and lower parts of the segmented coil 30, improving the cooling effect.
[0024] Most of the structure of the segmented coil 30 is wrapped in the upper stator positioning plate 110 and the lower stator positioning plate 120. In order to reduce the heat accumulation of the part wrapped inside, in the embodiment, please further refer to Figure 3 The lower stator positioning plate 120 is also provided with a heat pipe mounting groove 102 in the gap of the segmented coil positioning cabin 103, and the heat pipe 40 is fixedly installed in the heat pipe mounting groove 102 and extends radially outward. The internal heat can be conducted to the outer wall of the upper stator positioning plate 110 and the lower stator positioning plate 120 through the heat pipe 40, and the heat conducted to the outer wall is cooled by the air cooling heat dissipation system. It can be understood that the heat pipe design of the embodiment can also be applied to the water cooling heat dissipation system, that is, various outer surface heat dissipation systems of the stator positioning plate are within the protection scope of the application.
[0025] In the application, the heat pipe 40 is an L-shaped structure, comprising a radial segment and a circumferential segment in communication, the circumferential segment extends along the circumference of the motor, and the radial segment conducts the internal heat of the motor outwards. After the heat is conducted outwards, it can be further dispersed through the circumferential segment, so as to improve the heat dissipation surface and improve the heat dissipation effect.
[0026] Due to the limitation of the L-shaped structure, in the embodiment, the heat pipe 40 is arranged on the abutting surface of the upper stator positioning plate 110 and the lower stator positioning plate 120, and is fixed with the closing of the upper stator positioning plate 110 and the lower stator positioning plate 120. In an alternative embodiment, the heat pipe 40 only includes a radial section, which can be embedded in the upper stator positioning plate 110 and the lower stator positioning plate 120, and a set of heat pipes is arranged in the upper stator positioning plate 110 and the lower stator positioning plate 120 respectively, which can further improve the heat dissipation effect.
[0027] The heat transferred to the edge area of the upper stator positioning plate 110 and the lower stator positioning plate 120 by the heat pipe 40 can be further spread to the heat dissipation fins 101 and carried away by the heat dissipation airflow. In order to further improve the heat dissipation effect, in the embodiment, the heat dissipation fins 101 are also arranged in the radial direction of the motor, so that when the heat dissipation airflow blows on the heat dissipation fins 101, the airflow can form a vortex through the blockage of the heat dissipation fins 101, thereby improving the heat dissipation efficiency.
[0028] The application also provides an aircraft comprising an axial flux motor with the above heat dissipation structure, which can reduce internal heat accumulation without significantly affecting the size and weight of the motor, improve the heat dissipation effect, improve the performance release capability of the axial flux motor in the aircraft, and improve the performance of the aircraft.
[0029] The heat dissipation structure of the axial flux motor provided by the application is provided with a heat pipe mounting groove between each sub-coil positioning cabin of the upper stator positioning plate and the lower stator positioning plate, so as to fix the heat pipe in the heat pipe mounting groove. The heat pipe is arranged in the radial direction, which can conduct the internal heat to the outer wall of the stator positioning plate through the heat pipe, and the heat conducted to the outer wall can be effectively dissipated through the external surface heat dissipation design such as air cooling or water cooling, which can effectively reduce the internal heat accumulation and improve the heat dissipation effect. The heat dissipation structure of the axial flux motor can conduct the internal heat of the sub-coils of the stator to the outside through the heat pipe, reduce the internal heat accumulation, and effectively realize the internal heat dissipation by combining the air cooling heat dissipation system of the external surface, thereby improving the heat dissipation efficiency of the air cooling heat dissipation system, and having little influence on the system complexity and weight of the unmanned aerial vehicle and high reliability.
