[0026] To further elaborate on the technical means and effects adopted by the present utility model to achieve the predetermined invention purpose, the following, in conjunction with the attached drawings and preferred embodiments, details the specific embodiment, structure, features and effects of the air-cooled rotor engine cooling structure proposed according to the present utility model as follows.

[0027] Please refer to Figure 1-8 , which is the schematic diagram of each part of the air-cooled rotor engine cooling structure of the present utility model. The air-cooled rotor engine cooling structure includes a front end cover 1, a cylinder block 2 and a rear end cover 3. The front end cover 1 covers the front end face of the cylinder block 2, and the rear end cover 3 covers the rear end face of the cylinder block 2. A plurality of radiating fins III 103 are circumferentially spaced on the front end cover 1, and the end of the radiating fin III 103 is connected to the air guide cover I 104 extending along the circumference of the front end cover 1. The inner diameter of the air inlet end of the air guide cover I 104 is larger than the inner diameter of the air outlet end, so that the air guide cover I 104 has a flared structure with a large inlet size and a small outlet size. Thus, the end face (the end far from the front end cover 1) of the radiating fin III 103 connected to the air guide cover 104 I is an inclined plane.

[0028] At the center edge of the outer end face (the end face facing away from the cylinder block 2) of the front end cover 1, a plurality of radiating fins I 101 also protrude. At a position far from the center, the above-mentioned radiating fins I 101 extend outward into multiple radiating fins II 102, and the radiating fins II 102 are connected to the radiating fins III 103. That is, the front end face of the radiating fin III 103 of the present utility model extends forward along the axis of the front end cover 1 to form the radiating fin II 102 protruding from the air guide cover I 104. The inner end face (the end face close to the front end cover 1) of the radiating fin II 102 is connected to the radiating fin I 101. And each radiating fin I 101 is connected to at least two radiating fins II 102.

[0029] In this embodiment, the radiating fins II 102 and the radiating fins III 103 are cast together, and the air guide cover I 104 is cast together with the radiating fins III 103. In other embodiments, the air guide cover I 104 can be made of other high-temperature resistant materials and installed on the radiating fins III 103 later.

[0030] The rear end cover 3 is circumferentially provided with a plurality of heat dissipation fins VII 303 at intervals. The end of the heat dissipation fin VII 303 is connected to a wind guide cover III 304 extending along the circumference of the rear end cover. The wind guide cover III 304 also has a flared structure with a larger front and a smaller rear, so that more air can be introduced into the air inlet. The center edge of the outer end face of the rear end cover 3 is also convexly provided with a plurality of heat dissipation fins V 301. At a position far from the center, the heat dissipation fin V 301 extends outward into multiple heat dissipation fins VI 302, and the front end face of the heat dissipation fin VI 302 is connected to the rear end of the heat dissipation fin VII 303. In this embodiment, the rear end face of the heat dissipation fin VII 303 extends backward along the circumference of the rear end cover 3 to form a heat dissipation fin VI 302 protruding from the wind guide cover III 304, and the heat dissipation fin VI 302 is connected to the heat dissipation fin V 301. Preferably, the heat dissipation fin VII 303 and the heat dissipation fin VI 302 are cast together. The wind guide cover III 304 can be cast together with the heat dissipation fin VII 303, or can be made of other high-temperature resistant materials and installed on the heat dissipation fin VII 303 later.

[0031] The cylinder block 2 is circumferentially provided with a plurality of heat dissipation fins IV 201 at intervals, and the end of the heat dissipation fin IV 201 is connected to the inner wall of a wind guide cover II 202 extending along the circumference of the cylinder block 2. The inner diameter of the wind guide cover II 202 gradually increases from front to back, and the overall shape is a flared structure, so that the front end of the wind guide cover II 202 as the air inlet has a larger air inlet area, and the rear end as the air outlet has a smaller air outlet area, thereby enhancing the flow rate of the cooling air between the heat dissipation fins IV 201, and further enhancing its cooling effect.

[0032] The extension length of the wind guide cover II 202 along the axial direction of the cylinder block 2 is less than that of the heat dissipation fin IV 201, so that both the front and rear ends of the heat dissipation fin IV 201 protrude from the wind guide cover II 202. Thus, when the front and rear end covers are fixed at both ends of the cylinder block 2, there are gaps between the wind guide cover II 202 and the wind guide cover I 104 and the wind guide cover III 304, so that fresh air can enter between the heat dissipation fins III 103 and between the heat dissipation fins IV 201 through these gaps to achieve the purpose of heat dissipation.

[0033] The thickness, the length from the root to the end, and the distribution position of the heat dissipation fin IV 201, the heat dissipation fin III 103, and the heat dissipation fin VII 303 are the same, that is, when the cylinder block, the front end cover, and the rear end cover are assembled, the above-mentioned heat dissipation fin IV 201, heat dissipation fin III 103, and heat dissipation fin VII 303 correspond to each other one by one, so that the heat dissipation channels formed between adjacent heat dissipation fins correspond to each other and are axially connected to each other.

[0034] In this embodiment, the thicknesses of the heat sink Ⅳ 201, the heat sink Ⅲ 103, and the heat sink Ⅶ 303 gradually decrease from the root to the end. That is, the cross-sections of the heat sink Ⅳ 201, the heat sink Ⅲ 103, and the heat sink Ⅶ 303 of the present utility model are all isosceles triangles, and the apex of the triangle is connected to the air guide cover. Specifically, the root thicknesses of the heat sink Ⅳ 201, the heat sink Ⅲ 103, and the heat sink Ⅶ 303 are 8 mm, the length from the root to the end is greater than 70 mm, while the thickness of the existing heat sink from the root to the end is 2 mm and the length is less than 50 mm. The structural arrangement of the heat sink of the present utility model increases the heat dissipation area of the heat sink while increasing the heat conduction cross-sectional area of the heat sink. As a result, the above heat sinks are denser and longer in the hot arc area and sparser and shorter in the cold arc area. This arrangement can effectively reduce the temperature difference between the hot arc area and the cold arc area.

[0035] The above is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and does not impose any formal limitations on the present utility model. Although the present utility model has been disclosed above with the preferred embodiment, it is not intended to limit the present utility model. Any person skilled in the art can make some changes or modifications to the above-disclosed technical content to form an equivalent embodiment within the scope of the technical solution of the present utility model. However, any simple modification, equivalent change, and modification made to the above embodiment based on the technical essence of the present utility model without departing from the content of the technical solution of the present utility model still fall within the scope of the technical solution of the present utility model.
