DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0023] In order to make the purpose, technical solution and advantages of the utility model clearer, the technical solution of the utility model will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the utility model, rather than all of the embodiments.

[0024] Therefore, the following detailed description of the present invention provided in the accompanying drawings is not intended to limit the scope of the present invention claimed for protection, but merely represents selected embodiments of the present invention. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in the field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0025] Example 1

[0026] This embodiment discloses a brushless exciter ventilation cooling structure as a preferred embodiment of the utility model. Figure 1 As shown, it includes an air guide cover 1 and a centrifugal fan 2.

[0027] The air guide cover 1 is a columnar structure with a hollow interior, such as an air guide cover 1 that can be welded with steel plates into a rectangular structure. One end of the air guide cover 1 (in the length direction) is open, and the other end is sealed. A splitter plate 3 is arranged inside the air guide cover 1 along the length direction, and the splitter plate 3 divides the interior of the air guide cover 1 into an air inlet channel 4 and an air outlet channel 5; an air inlet 6 is provided at the bottom of the air inlet channel 4, and an air outlet 7 is provided at the bottom of the air outlet channel 5. The bottom of the air inlet channel 4 and the bottom of the air outlet channel 5 are both side surfaces of the air guide cover 1, which are perpendicular to the open end surface and the sealed end surface.

[0028] The air guide hood 1 is installed on the top of the exciter housing 8, and its air inlet 6 and air outlet 7 are respectively sealed and connected to the exciter housing 8, and the air inlet 6 is conductively connected to one side (air inlet side) of the exciter rotor 18, and the air outlet 7 is conductively connected to the other side (air outlet side) of the exciter rotor 18; the open end of the air guide hood 1 is sealed and connected to the end cover 10 of the main motor 9, and a vent 11 is provided on the end cover 10 of the main motor 9 corresponding to the open structure of the air guide hood 1, so that the air guide hood 1 is sealed and conductive to the internal environment of the main motor 9.

[0029] The rotor pressure plate facing the main motor 9 inside the exciter housing 8 is the first pressure plate 12 , and the rotor pressure plate facing the rectifier disk 15 is the second pressure plate 13 . The first pressure plate 12 and the second pressure plate 13 are respectively provided with ventilation structures.

[0030] The centrifugal fan 2 is installed inside the exciter housing 8 near the air outlet 7 of the air guide cover 1 .

[0031] Based on the above structure, the working principle of the technical solution is as follows: during the operation of the centrifugal fan 2, the air in the outlet side of the exciter housing 8 enters the main motor 9 from the air outlet 7 through the air outlet channel 5, so that a pressure difference is generated between the air outlet side and the air inlet side, and the air on the air inlet side passes through the ventilation structure on the first pressing plate 12, the exciter rotor 18 and the ventilation structure on the second pressing plate 13 to enter the air outlet side in turn, and at the same time, the cold air inside the main motor 9 enters the air inlet side inside the exciter housing 8 through the air inlet channel 4. It can be seen that the centrifugal fan 2 shell can drive the exciter and the main motor 9 to quickly exchange heat by accelerating the air circulation speed. Based on the above principle, the cold air inside the main motor 9 enters the air inlet side inside the exciter housing 8 through the air inlet 6 of the air inlet channel 4 of the air guide cover 1, enters the exciter rotor 18 through the ventilation structure on the first pressing plate 12 to cool it, and then enters the air outlet 7 through the ventilation structure on the second pressing plate 13, and is discharged from the main motor 9 from the centrifugal fan 2 to the air outlet channel 5. When the cold air circulates inside the exciter housing 8 , it also takes away the heat generated by the power devices inside the exciter housing 8 .

[0032] Example 2

[0035] The air guide hood 1 is installed on the top of the exciter housing 8, and its air inlet 6 and air outlet 7 are respectively sealed and connected to the exciter housing 8, and the air inlet 6 is conductively connected to one side of the exciter rotor 18, and the air outlet 7 is conductively connected to the other side of the exciter rotor 18; the open end of the air guide hood 1 is sealed and connected to the end cover 10 of the main motor 9, and a ventilation hole 11 is opened on the end cover 10 of the main motor 9 corresponding to the open structure of the air guide hood 1.

[0036] The rotor pressure plate facing the main motor 9 inside the exciter housing 8 is the first pressure plate 12 , and the rotor pressure plate facing the rectifier disk 15 is the second pressure plate 13 . The first pressure plate 12 and the second pressure plate 13 are respectively provided with ventilation structures.

[0037] The centrifugal fan 2 is installed inside the exciter housing 8 near the air outlet 7 of the air guide cover 1 .

[0038] Furthermore, the diverter plate 3 passes through the vent 11 on the end cover 10 of the main motor 9 and extends to the interior of the main motor 9, separating the inlet and outlet air paths inside the main motor 9, thereby avoiding the collision of cold air and hot air to the greatest extent and ensuring that cold air can enter smoothly and hot air can be discharged smoothly.

[0039] Furthermore, sponge rubber pads 14 are provided between the mating surfaces of the air guide cover 1 and the end cover 10 of the main motor 9, and between the mating surfaces of the air guide cover 1 and the exciter housing 8, respectively, to isolate the mechanical noise generated by the rotating parts inside the main motor 9 and the exciter housing 8.

[0040] Example 3

[0041] This embodiment discloses a brushless exciter ventilation cooling structure as a preferred embodiment of the utility model. Figure 1 As shown, it includes an air guide cover 1 and a centrifugal fan 2.

[0042] The air guide cover 1 is a hollow columnar structure, one end of which is open and the other end is sealed; a splitter plate 3 is arranged inside the air guide cover 1 along the length direction, and the splitter plate 3 divides the inside of the air guide cover 1 into an air inlet channel 4 and an air outlet channel 5; an air inlet 6 is provided at the bottom of the air inlet channel 4, and an air outlet 7 is provided at the bottom of the air outlet channel 5;

[0043] The air guide hood 1 is installed on the top of the exciter housing 8, and its air inlet 6 and air outlet 7 are respectively sealed and connected to the exciter housing 8, and the air inlet 6 is conductively connected to one side of the exciter rotor 18, and the air outlet 7 is conductively connected to the other side of the exciter rotor 18; the open end of the air guide hood 1 is sealed and connected to the end cover 10 of the main motor 9, and a ventilation hole 11 is opened on the end cover 10 of the main motor 9 corresponding to the open structure of the air guide hood 1.

[0044] The rotor pressure plate facing the main motor 9 inside the exciter housing 8 is the first pressure plate 12 , and the rotor pressure plate facing the rectifier disk 15 is the second pressure plate 13 . The first pressure plate 12 and the second pressure plate 13 are respectively provided with ventilation structures.

[0046] Furthermore, the side of the exciter rotor 18 connected to the air inlet channel 4 of the air guide cover 1 is the side facing the main motor 9, and the side of the exciter rotor 18 connected to the air outlet channel 5 of the air guide cover 1 is the side facing the rectifier disk 15.

[0047] Power devices are arranged on the rectifier disk 15. Based on the above mechanism, the technical solution limits the flow direction of cold air inside the exciter housing 8. Specifically, the cold air first takes away the heat on the exciter rotor 18, and takes away the heat generated by the power devices when passing through the heat sink 17 of the rectifier disk 15. In this way, it can be prevented that the air brings the heat generated by the power devices into the exciter rotor 18, affecting the heat exchange effect inside the exciter rotor 18, and improves the heat dissipation effect to a certain extent.

[0054] Furthermore, according to the disc-shaped structure of the rotor pressure plate, the ventilation structure includes a plurality of ventilation holes 16 circumferentially spaced around the center point of the rotor pressure plate, so that air can flow evenly. Furthermore, all the ventilation holes 16 are arranged at equal intervals.

[0055] Furthermore, the number of ventilation holes 16 on the first pressing plate 12 is greater than the number of ventilation holes 16 on the second pressing plate 13 , so as to increase the residence time of cold air inside the exciter rotor 18 , thereby improving the heat dissipation effect of the exciter rotor 18 to a certain extent.

[0056] Example 5

[0057] This embodiment discloses a brushless exciter ventilation cooling structure as a preferred embodiment of the utility model. Figure 1 As shown, it includes an air guide cover 1 and a centrifugal fan 2.
