Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of motor cooling water channels, and specifically provides a motor heat exchange cooling water channel. Background Art

[0002] At present, the design of motors is gradually tending towards high power, high efficiency, high power, small size, low cost, etc. In order to achieve these goals, water (liquid) cooling bases are increasingly widely used in motor cooling structures. Water cooling base cooling is an indirect cooling method for motors, which efficiently transfers the heat generated by the effective components of the motor (such as the stator core, windings, etc.) to the cooling medium. Motors using water cooling bases have the advantages of low noise, high efficiency, and high protection level.

[0003] The existing waterways are mainly Figure 1 The spiral waterway form shown in Figure 2 The return (circuitous) water channel form shown is selected based on factors such as the position of the motor's water inlet and outlet interfaces, axial length, pressure loss (pressure drop) of the cooling medium flowing in the water channel, and manufacturing cost. These two water channel structural forms have their own advantages and disadvantages and are widely used in motor design.

[0004] Spiral waterway (such as Figure 3 As shown in the figure, it is mainly composed of an inner sleeve 1, a spiral waterway rib 3, and an outer sleeve 2. The spiral waterway rib is a continuous spiral line, which is distributed between the inner sleeve and the outer sleeve along the motor axis. A continuous waterway is formed between the waterway ribs with adjacent pitches. The water inlet and the water outlet are arranged at the beginning and end of the spiral waterway respectively. Figure 4 As shown in the figure, it is mainly composed of an inner sleeve 1, a return water channel rib 3, and an outer sleeve 2. The return water channel rib is a steel bar of similar length, which is welded to the inner sleeve along the axial direction of the motor. Adjacent return water channel ribs are welded staggered, and the water inlet and outlet can be arranged at the same end.

[0005] In the prior art, the spiral waterway ribs are mainly formed on the outer surface of the inner sleeve by turning and milling, and then assembled with the outer sleeve to form a closed spiral waterway. The return waterway uses a return waterway inner cylinder with welded steel bars on the inner sleeve, and then assembled with the outer sleeve to form a closed return waterway. The spiral waterway and the return waterway mainly have the following problems:

[0006] 1. Due to the limitation of the water channel rib turning process, the number of choices for the pitch of the spiral water channel is limited, resulting in a lack of flexibility in the design; 2. The turning of the spiral water channel requires a full circle of processing space at the beginning and end for starting and retracting the tool during processing. The locations of the inlet and outlet are distributed on both sides of the motor, forming low flow rate, stagnant areas and reflux areas at both ends of the water cooling base. The heat exchange effect of these areas is poor, resulting in uneven cooling of the motor and local temperature increase. It is also a waste of the heat dissipation surface and axial length of the motor. Turning the spiral water channel Figure 5As shown, a is the inlet and b is the outlet; 3. When the spiral water channel ribs are processed by milling technology, the processing cost of the water channel ribs will increase significantly, such as Figure 6 As shown in the figure, due to the inherent characteristics of the spiral line of the spiral water channel, there must be areas at the beginning and end where an effective water channel cannot be formed or areas with low flow velocity in the water channel, which will also cause waste of the heat dissipation surface. Point a is the inlet and point b is the outlet; 4. Figure 7 As shown, the return water channel adopts an inner sleeve welded steel bar, the number of return water channel ribs is large, the welding amount is large, and the loss of mechanical strength of the inner cylinder of the motor is large. At the same time, due to the large number of welded water channel ribs, the positioning of the water channel ribs is complicated, the welding time is long, the efficiency is low, and the cost is high.

[0007] In summary, how to design a motor heat exchange cooling water channel with low manufacturing cost, high processing efficiency and improved cooling water channel space utilization is a problem that needs to be solved urgently. Utility Model Content

[0008] In order to solve the above problems, the utility model provides a motor heat exchange cooling water channel, which can improve processing efficiency, increase space utilization of the cooling water channel and reduce costs.

[0009] The utility model provides a motor heat exchange cooling water channel, comprising a combined inner sleeve and an outer sleeve, wherein a stopper is axially arranged on the outer wall of the inner sleeve or the inner wall of the outer sleeve, and a water channel rib is circumferentially arranged on the side of the stopper; one end of the water channel rib is connected to the stopper, and the other end of the water channel rib is not connected to the stopper and a water-passing gap is left between the water channel rib and the stopper; at least two annular water channels connected in series are formed by the water channel rib, and when there are two or more water channel ribs, the water-passing gaps between adjacent water channel ribs are respectively located on both sides of the circumference of the stopper; the axial position of the water channel rib is adjustable, and the axial widths between the annular water channels are equal or unequal.

[0010] Furthermore, the annular water channels located at both axial ends of the serially connected annular water channels are respectively a starting circle and an ending circle, the water inlet and the water outlet are respectively arranged on the starting circle and the ending circle, and the water inlet and the water outlet are both arranged close to the block.

[0011] Furthermore, the stopper is welded to the inner sleeve or the outer sleeve.

[0012] Furthermore, the water channel ribs are arranged on the inner sleeve or the outer sleeve by turning.

[0013] Furthermore, the water-passing gap is opened on the water channel rib by milling.

[0014] Furthermore, the block, the water channel ribs, the water inlet and the water outlet are all arranged on the outer wall of the inner sleeve.

[0015] Furthermore, the circumferential width of the water gap is adjustable.

[0016] Furthermore, an adjustment platform is provided on the stopper extending toward the water-passing gap, and the circumferential width of the water-passing gap can be adjusted by adjusting the circumferential width of the adjustment platform.

[0017] Furthermore, after the water channel ribs, baffles, water gaps, water inlets and outlets are processed, the outer sleeve is placed on the inner sleeve, and the split inner sleeve and outer sleeve are fixed into a whole by welding or interference fit.

[0018] Compared with the prior art, the utility model can achieve the following beneficial effects:

[0019] 1. Compared with the existing spiral water channel structure, the effective part of the annular water channel of this scheme almost occupies the entire axial space, and there is no low flow rate area or dead water area. At the same time, by changing the arrangement of the block and the like, the water flow direction can be flexibly adjusted, and the position of the water inlet and outlet can be flexibly adjusted. The spacing of the water channel ribs can be adjusted arbitrarily, which can reduce the manufacturing cost and improve the flexibility of the manufacturing process. It can be processed by turning, milling and welding. Compared with pure milling and spiral turning, the processing cost has been significantly reduced, and at the same time, the problem of long processing space for starting and retracting the spiral water channel has been solved.

[0020] 2. Compared with the existing welded structure return water channel, the present solution has significantly reduced number of water channel weld ribs, and only requires welding blocks. The welding amount is reduced, which can improve the overall strength of the machine base. No additional welding positioning tooling is required, thereby improving manufacturing production efficiency and reducing costs. The number of water channel returns is small, which is very beneficial to reducing flow resistance. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
