[0032] As Figure 1-7 shown, in an embodiment of the present utility model, an engine cooling structure and a generator set are provided. The engine cooling structure includes a power main body 10, a wind guide cover 20, an impeller 30, a motor main body 40, a muffler 50 and a wind guide plate 60. The wind guide cover 20 is arranged on one side of the power main body 10 and forms an installation cavity 71 with the power main body 10. A fan cover 21 is arranged on the wind guide cover 20. Both the impeller 30 and the motor main body 40 are arranged in the installation cavity 71, and the motor main body 40 is located between the motor main body 40 and the impeller 30. The muffler 50 is arranged below the cylinder head of the power main body 10 and is close to the power main body 10. The wind guide plate 60 is arranged between the power main body 10 and the muffler 50. The wind guide plate 60 is respectively connected to the wind guide cover 20 and the power main body 10. A wind duct 72 is formed between the wind guide plate 60 and the power main body 10. The wind duct 72 communicates with the installation cavity 71. An air outlet 73 is arranged at one end of the wind duct 72 far from the installation cavity 71. A flow guiding portion is arranged on the wind guide plate 60, and the flow guiding portion is used for guiding the air flow in the wind duct 72 to the muffler 50. Among them, the generator set includes the above-mentioned engine cooling structure.

[0033] When the power main body 10 drives the motor main body 40 and the impeller 30 to operate, the high-speed rotation of the impeller 30 will form a negative pressure in the installation cavity 71, and the outside air is sucked into the installation cavity 71 to form a cooling air flow. The cooling air flow will first cool the motor main body 40 in the installation cavity 71. Then, the cooling air flow will flow to the wind duct 72. During the flowing process, the cooling air flow will take away part of the heat of the power main body 10, so as to achieve the purpose of dissipating heat and cooling the power main body 10.

[0034] Meanwhile, during the flow of the cooling air flow in the air duct 72, under the action of the diversion part, part of the cooling air flow will be guided to the muffler 50, and this part of the cooling air flow can cool the muffler 50. In this way, the heat dissipation and cooling of the power main body 10 and the muffler 50 are realized.

[0035] An engine cooling structure and a generator set disclosed in this embodiment, by designing a wind guiding plate 60 with a diversion part between the power main body 10 and the muffler 50, during the process of the cooling air flow flowing out of the installation cavity 71 and flowing through the air duct 72, part of the cooling air flow will flow to the air outlet 73, which will take away part of the heat of the power main body 10. And part of the cooling air flow will be guided to the muffler 50. In this way, the heat dissipation and cooling of the power main body 10 and the muffler 50 are realized. At the same time, the heat radiation of the muffler 50 to the power main body 10 is reduced, and the problems of high temperature of the engine oil and the cylinder head of the power main body 10 caused by poor heat dissipation effect of the muffler 50 and heat radiation of the muffler 50 in the engine structure with the muffler 50 designed under the cylinder head are solved, the cooling effect on the power main body 10 is improved, and thus the power performance and economic performance of the whole machine operation are improved.

[0036] In one embodiment, the diversion part includes a first air hole 61, and the first air hole 61 penetrates through the wind guiding plate 60 and faces the muffler 50. During the process of the cooling air flow flowing through the air duct 72, part of the cooling air flow will blow from the first air hole 61 to the muffler 50, and the cooling air flow will blow away the heat on the surface of the muffler 50, so as to achieve the purpose of dissipating heat from the muffler 50, which reduces the heat radiation of the muffler 50 to the power main body 10.

[0037] Furthermore, the diversion part further includes a first diversion piece 62 arranged in the air duct 72. The first diversion piece 62 is close to the first air hole 61, and an air-facing surface 621 is arranged on one side of the first diversion piece 62 facing the air inlet direction of the air duct 72, and the air-facing surface 621 is connected to the edge of the first air hole 61. When the cooling air flow flows through the first diversion piece 62, it will be blocked by the air-facing surface 621 and diverted into the first air hole 61, thereby improving the diversion effect on the cooling air flow and enhancing the heat dissipation effect on the muffler 50.

[0038] In order to guide more cooling air flow into the first air hole 61 and further improve the diversion effect on the cooling air flow, one end of the air-facing surface 621 close to the power main body 10 is inclined towards the installation cavity 71.

[0039] In one embodiment, the wind guide plate 60 is provided with a wind guide slope 63, and one end of the wind guide slope 63 close to the installation cavity 71 is inclined toward the muffler 50, and the first wind hole 61 and the first guide plate 62 are arranged on the wind guide slope 63. By designing the wind guide slope 63 on the wind guide plate 60, when the cooling airflow flows along the wind guide slope 63, it is easier to flow to the first wind hole 61 and the windward surface 621, so that more cooling airflow can be guided to the muffler 50, thereby improving the heat dissipation and cooling effect of the muffler 50.

[0040] Different models can increase the number of first air holes 61 and the opening size of the first air holes 61 according to actual conditions, so as to adjust the air volume and wind speed. In this embodiment, three first air holes 61 and three first guide vanes 62 are provided, and the three first air holes 61 are arranged at intervals along the wind guide slope 63. Of course, second air holes 64 and second guide vanes 65 can also be designed on the wind guide plate 60 to further improve the guiding effect of the cooling airflow. The structure of the second guide vane 65 is the same as that of the first guide vane 62, and will not be repeated here.

[0041] In one embodiment, the air guide plate 60 covers the heat dissipation ribs on the side of the power body 10 close to the muffler 50. Specifically, an air duct 72 is formed between the air guide plate 60 and the heat dissipation ribs on the side of the power body 10 close to the muffler 50. After the cooling airflow in the installation cavity 71 flows to the air duct 72, part of the cooling airflow will flow along the gap between the adjacent heat dissipation ribs on this side of the power body 10, and the heat of the power body 10 will be taken away during the flow process, thereby achieving heat dissipation and cooling of the power body 10, and effectively reducing the temperature of the engine oil and the cylinder head.

[0042] In one embodiment, an exhaust pipe 11 is provided on the side of the power body 10 away from the air guide cover 20, and the two ends of the exhaust pipe 11 are respectively connected to the muffler 50 and the cylinder head of the power body 10, and the exhaust pipe 11 is close to the exhaust port 73. Part of the cooling airflow is discharged from the exhaust port 73 through the air duct 72, and this cooling airflow will blow toward the exhaust pipe, thereby taking away the heat of the exhaust pipe, reducing the temperature of the exhaust pipe, and reducing the heat radiation of the exhaust pipe 11.

[0043] Furthermore, the engine cooling structure also includes a protective shell 80, in which a mounting groove is provided, and the exhaust pipe 11 is provided in the mounting groove, the notch of the mounting groove faces the exhaust port 73, and a plurality of through holes 81 are provided on the protective shell 80. The design of the protective shell 80 can intercept the cooling airflow discharged from the exhaust port 73, so that this part of the cooling airflow can stay in the protective shell 80 for a short time, thereby improving the cooling effect on the exhaust pipe 11, and finally, this part of the cooling airflow will be discharged from the through hole 81 to take away the heat.

[0044] In the description of the present utility model, a large number of specific details are set forth. However, it is understood that the embodiments of the present utility model may be practiced without these specific details. In some instances, well-known methods, structures and technologies are not shown in detail so as not to obscure the understanding of this specification.

[0045] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present utility model and are not intended to limit the same; although the present utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those of ordinary skill in the art should understand that they can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or perform equivalent replacements for some or all of the technical features; and these modifications or replacements do not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present utility model, and they should all be covered by the scope of the claims and the specification of the present utility model.
