[0023] See also Figure 1-5 The utility model provides an integral circulating water cooling mechanism for a motor and a frequency converter, comprising a motor 1 and a frequency converter 2. The motor 1 is fixedly sleeved with a circle of outer shell 3 outside the shell, and the motor 1 and the outer shell 3 are separated into two cooling chambers 5 each surrounding the shell of the motor 1 by a partition 4. The two cooling chambers 5 are respectively provided with a water inlet 6 and a water outlet 7. The two cooling chambers 5 are connected by a notch 8. A baffle with a through hole is provided in the cooling chamber 5. The baffle is provided to facilitate the diversion of the coolant through the through hole, and further facilitates the uniform flow of the coolant; the frequency converter 2 is fixed on the outer shell 3, and an IGBT module 9 is provided in the frequency converter 2. The IGBT module 9 is directly mounted on the outer shell 3. A cooling connection part 10 located below the IGBT module 9 is provided on the top of the cooling chamber 5, and the cooling connection part 10 and the IGBT module 9 is provided with a mounting hole 11 corresponding to the partition plate 4, and is connected by screws; when working, the coolant enters the cooling cavity 5 between the corresponding partition plates 4 from the water inlet 6, and after entering, the coolant will circle the motor 1 to cover it, and enter the adjacent cooling cavity 5 through the notch 8, and then circle the motor 1 again to give the motor 1 a full coverage and cooling, and then flow out from the water outlet 7 for circulating cooling; at the same time, when the coolant enters the upper part of the cooling cavity 5, it will fully contact the upper part of the outer shell 3 to cool it, and fully dissipate the heat of the inverter 2 as a whole from the bottom, and the cooling effect is good; as common sense, the main heat source of the inverter 2 is the IGBT module 9. By setting the cooling connection part 10, the heat dissipation surface of the upper part of the outer shell 3 at the IGBT module 9 can be increased, which is conducive to the rapid heat dissipation of the IGBT module 9; thereby keeping the motor 1 and the inverter 2 sealed, the motor 1 and the inverter 2 can still dissipate heat efficiently, and achieve long-term efficient and stable operation.

[0024] Specifically, the motor 1 and the frequency converter 2 are sealed and connected. In this embodiment, the sealed environment can be satisfied and the problems of dust easily entering and being difficult to clean can be avoided.

[0025] Specifically, the top of the outer shell 3 is a flat plate 12, and the inverter 2 is covered and installed thereon; in this embodiment, the inverter 2 is covered and installed on the flat plate 12, and the structure of the flat plate can fully dissipate the heat of the inverter 2 as a whole from the bottom, and the cooling effect is good.

[0026] Specifically, the plate 12 and the cooling connection part 10 are both made of highly heat-conductive materials; in this embodiment, the motor 1 and the inverter 2 are facilitated to dissipate heat through the plate 12 and the cooling connection part 10 and the coolant.

[0027] Specifically, the cooling connection part 10 passes through the top of the cooling cavity 5 front to back along its length direction, and the IGBT module 9 is arranged along the length direction of the cooling connection part 10; in this embodiment, the area directly corresponding to the cooling connection part 10 and the IGBT module 9 is increased, which is beneficial to heat dissipation.

[0028] Specifically, there are gaps between the cooling connection part 10 and the partitions 4 on both sides; in this embodiment, the coolant can flow from both sides of the cooling connection part 10 and fully contact the cooling connection part 10, which is beneficial to its heat dissipation.

[0029] In order to facilitate understanding of the above technical solution of the present invention, the working principle or operation method of the present invention in the actual process is described in detail below.

[0030] Working principle: During operation, the coolant enters the cooling cavity 5 between the corresponding partitions 4 from the water inlet 6. After entering, the coolant will circle around the motor 1 to cover it, and enter the adjacent cooling cavity 5 through the gap 8, and then circle around the motor 1 again to fully cover and cool the motor 1, and then flow out from the water outlet 7 for cyclic cooling; at the same time, when the coolant enters the upper part of the cooling cavity 5, it will fully contact the flat plate 12 to cool the entire flat plate 12, and the inverter 2 is covered and installed on the flat plate 12, and the flat plate 12 is made of a strong thermal conductive material. The structure of the flat plate will fully dissipate the heat of the inverter 2 as a whole from the bottom, and the cooling effect is good; as common sense, the main heat source of the inverter 2 is the IGBT module 9. By setting the cooling connection part 10, the heat dissipation surface of the flat plate 12 at the IGBT module 9 can be increased, which is conducive to the rapid heat dissipation of the IGBT module 9; thereby, while keeping the motor 1 and the inverter 2 sealed, the motor 1 and the inverter 2 can still dissipate heat efficiently, and achieve long-term efficient and stable operation.
