[0022] As Figures 1 to 2 shown, an engine cooling circulation mechanism includes a chassis 1, and an engine cooling assembly 3 is disposed in front of the chassis 1. The engine cooling assembly 3 includes a front axle 301, a gasoline engine 302, a front fan 303, a radiator water tank 304, a circulation pipe 305, and an electric water pump 306. The front axle 301 is internally provided with the gasoline engine 302, and the front fan 303 rotates at the front end of the gasoline engine 302. The radiator water tank 304 is disposed in front of the gasoline engine 302, and the radiator water tank 304 is externally connected with the circulation pipe 305, and the circulation pipe 305 communicates with both ends of the electric water pump 306. When the gasoline engine 302 is in operation, the front fan 303 extracts air from the front end of the chassis 1 to cool the radiator water tank 304 by air cooling. The coolant in the radiator water tank 304 realizes flow heat exchange in the pipeline through the built-in water pump of the gasoline engine 302. When using the gasoline engine 302, the front fan 303 extracts air from the front end of the chassis 1 to cool the radiator water tank 304 by air cooling when the gasoline engine 302 is in operation. Further, the coolant in the radiator water tank 304 realizes flow heat exchange in the pipeline through the built-in water pump of the gasoline engine 302, thereby establishing an internal cooling cycle of the gasoline engine 302. On the basis of the above internal cycle, an external cycle composed of the circulation pipe 305 and the electric water pump 306 is added in this application, so that the coolant in the radiator water tank 304 participates in the water cooling cycle of the battery pack 2 and the electric motor 405, and the front fan 303 or the rear fan 403 is responsible for the heat exchange cooling of the coolant, so that the battery pack 2 and the electric motor 405 are further assisted by liquid cooling on the basis of traditional air cooling, with higher efficiency and better overall vehicle heat dissipation effect;
[0023] As Figures 1 to 3As shown in the figure, a battery pack 2 is placed in the middle of the chassis 1, and the periphery of the battery pack 2 is surrounded by a circulation pipe 305. A motor cooling assembly 4 is placed at the rear of the chassis 1. The motor cooling assembly 4 includes a rear axle 401, a bracket 402, a rear fan 403 and a driven bevel gear 404. A bracket 402 is fixed to the rear end of the rear axle 401, and a rear fan 403 is rotatably installed in the middle of the bracket 402. The rear fan 403 is coaxially connected with a driven bevel gear 404. The motor cooling assembly 4 further includes a motor 405 and heat dissipation fins 406. The motor 405 is installed inside the rear axle 401, and heat dissipation fins 406 are arranged around the outside of the motor 405. The circulation pipe 305 passes through the heat dissipation fins 406. The motor cooling assembly 4 further includes a reduction gear set 407 and a driving bevel gear 408. One end of the motor 405 is coaxially connected to drive the reduction gear set 407, and the reduction gear set 407 is coaxially connected with a driving bevel gear 408. The driving bevel gear 408 is meshed with the driven bevel gear 404 for transmission. When the motor 405 is in use, the rear fan 403 extracts air from the rear end of the chassis 1 to cool the heat dissipation fins 406 by air cooling. When the motor 405 is started, the reduction gear set 407 drives the driven bevel gear 404 through the driving bevel gear 408, thereby driving the rear fan 403 to rotate inside the bracket 402. The fan extracts air from the rear end of the chassis 1 to cool the heat dissipation fins 406 by air cooling when the motor 405 is in use, improving the heat dissipation effect of the motor 405. In the above technical solution, the circulation pipe 305 spirally passes through the heat dissipation fins 406, and the heat exchange effect of the heat dissipation fins 406 is further improved by the flowing coolant, with stronger applicability.
[0024] Working principle: When using this engine cooling cycle mechanism, when using the gasoline engine 302, the front fan 303 extracts air from the front end of the chassis 1 to cool the radiator water tank 304 by air cooling in the enabled state of the gasoline engine 302. Further, the coolant in the radiator water tank 304 realizes the flow heat exchange in the pipeline through the built-in water pump of the gasoline engine 302, so as to establish the internal cooling cycle of the gasoline engine 302. On the basis of the above internal cycle, an external cycle composed of a circulation pipe 305 and an electric water pump 306 is added in this application, so that the coolant in the radiator water tank 304 participates in the water cooling cycle of the battery pack 2 and the motor 405, and the front fan 303 or the rear fan 403 is responsible for the heat exchange and cooling of the coolant, so that the battery pack 2 and the motor 405 can further obtain the auxiliary cooling of liquid cooling on the basis of traditional air cooling, with higher efficiency and better heat dissipation effect for the whole vehicle. When the motor 405 is enabled, the reduction gear set 407 meshes and drives through the driving cone pulley 408 to the driven bevel gear 404, and then drives the rear fan 403 to rotate inside the bracket 402. The fan extracts air from the rear end of the chassis 1 to cool the heat dissipation fins 406 by air cooling in the enabled state of the motor 405, improving the heat dissipation effect of the motor 405. And in the above technical solution, the circulation pipe 305 spirally passes through the heat dissipation fins 406, and the heat exchange effect of the heat dissipation fins 406 is further improved by the flowing coolant, with stronger applicability.
