Apparently, the described embodiments are some but not all of the embodiments of the present utility model. All other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art based on the embodiments of the present utility model without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0022] Embodiment 1:

[0023] As Figures 1 to 5 shown, the blower assembly provided in this embodiment is a kind of blower assembly, including a motor and a blower. The blower includes a volute 2 provided with an air inlet 21 and an air outlet 22, and an impeller 23 installed in the volute 2. The motor includes a motor body 3 and a motor controller 1. The motor body 3 is installed outside the volute 2, and the rotating shaft 31 of the motor body 3 extends into the volute 2 and is connected to the impeller 23. The motor controller 1 is installed on the volute 2, and the motor controller 1 is electrically connected to the motor body 3 and controls the operation of the motor body 3. Its characteristics are as follows: the motor controller 1 includes a housing 11, a cavity 10 is provided inside the housing 11, a control circuit board 12 is installed in the cavity 10, a plurality of IGBT modules 121 are installed on the control circuit board 12, a plurality of heat dissipation fins 111 protrude from the side wall and the bottom surface of the housing 11, a heat dissipation plate 112 protrudes from the side wall of the housing 11 into the cavity 10, the heat dissipation surface of the IGBT module 121 is attached to the heat dissipation plate 112, the heat dissipation plate 112 is close to the air inlet 21 of the volute 2, and the heat dissipation fins 111 behind the heat dissipation plate 112 extend into the air inlet 21.

[0024] For the blower assembly, by extending the heat dissipation fins 111 behind the heat dissipation plate 112 into the air inlet 21, the high-speed inlet air flow of the blower is effectively utilized to quickly take away the heat of the IGBT module 121, improving the heat dissipation effect of the motor controller 1.

[0025] In the above-mentioned housing 11, a plurality of heat dissipation grooves 113 are opened above the heat dissipation plate 112, and the heat dissipation grooves 113 are arranged between the heat dissipation fins 111 behind the heat dissipation plate 112. A wind channel is formed between the heat dissipation grooves 113 and the heat dissipation fins 111, further improving the heat dissipation effect.

[0026] The above-mentioned volute 2 is provided with a mounting plate 24 at the air outlet 22. A plurality of mounting feet 114 protrude from the side wall of the outer shell 11.
