[0025] Embodiment: As shown in Figures 1 to 6 , a motor housing of a high-efficiency aluminum-shell motor includes a cylindrical aluminum shell, which includes an upper shell 2 and a lower shell 1. A rectangular mounting seat 21 is formed on the outer wall of the front side of the upper shell 2, and a wire passing hole 22 penetrating the inner wall of the upper shell 2 is formed on the mounting seat 21. A plurality of arc-shaped and annularly uniformly distributed upper cooling grooves 23 are formed on the lower end surface of the upper shell 2 on the left, right and rear sides of the mounting seat 21;

[0026] The upper end surface of the lower shell 1 abuts against the lower end surface of the upper shell 2 and forms a plurality of arc-shaped lower cooling grooves 11 that are offset from the upper cooling grooves 23. The lower cooling grooves 11 are annularly and uniformly distributed around the central axis of the lower shell 1; the upper cooling grooves 23 on the upper shell 2 are located between the adjacent lower cooling grooves 11 of the lower shell 1, and both sides of the upper cooling grooves 23 are respectively communicated with the adjacent lower cooling grooves 11;

[0027] The outer wall of the upper shell 2 is formed with a plurality of upper prisms 24, and the outer wall of the lower shell 1 is formed with a plurality of lower prisms 14 facing the upper prisms 24. The upper prisms 24 are formed with vertical stepped holes 25, and the stepped holes 25 are inserted with locking bolts 3. The lower end of the locking bolts 3 extends out of the upper prisms 24 and is screwed and fixed to the lower prisms 14.

[0028] A water inlet interface 12 and a water outlet interface 13 are respectively formed on the outer wall of the lower shell body 1 directly below the mounting seat 21. The water inlet interface 12 and the water outlet interface 13 are respectively connected to the two adjacent groups of lower cooling grooves 11. The water inlet interface 12 can be connected to the liquid cooling inlet pipe, and the water outlet interface 13 can be connected to the liquid cooling outlet pipe.

[0029] The number of upper cooling grooves 23 on the upper shell 2 is odd, and the number of lower cooling grooves 11 on the lower shell 1 is even. The number of lower cooling grooves 11 is one more than the number of upper cooling grooves 23. Only when the lower cooling grooves 11 are even and odd, can an effective cooling channel be formed in the motor housing.

[0030] The depth of the upper cooling groove 23 is equal to 2 / 3 to 4 / 5 of the length of the upper shell 2; the depth of the lower cooling groove 11 is equal to 2 / 3 to 4 / 5 of the length of the lower shell 1. The depths of the upper cooling groove 23 and the lower cooling groove 11 are set to ensure the cooling effect. Otherwise, the structure with a shallow depth cannot achieve effective cooling.

[0031] The inner wall of the upper shell 2 and the inner wall of the lower shell 1 are on the same cylindrical surface, and the outer wall of the lower shell 1 and the outer wall of the upper shell 2 are on the same cylindrical surface;

[0032] The number of the upper prisms 24 is equal to the number of the lower prisms 14 , and the upper prisms 24 and the lower prisms 14 are evenly distributed in a ring shape around the central axis of the lower shell 1 .

[0033] The lower end face of the upper prism 24 is located on the upper side of the lower end face of the upper shell 2, and the upper end face of the lower prism 14 is located on the lower side of the upper end face of the lower shell 1. The locking bolt 3 adopts a hexagonal bolt, and an upper nut 4 and a lower nut 5 are screwed on the locking bolt 3. The upper nut 4 is pressed against the lower end face of the upper prism 24, and the lower nut 5 is pressed down against the upper end face of the lower prism 14. The upper nut 4 and the lower nut 5 are respectively arranged on the upper prism 24 and the lower prism 14, which can effectively limit the loosening of the locking bolt 3 and thus prevent leakage of the aluminum shell.

[0034] A threaded hole is formed on the lower end surface of the lower prism 14, and an internal thread is formed on the hole wall of the upper end of the stepped hole 25 on the upper prism 24. The upper prism 24 and the lower prism 14 can serve as connecting parts for connecting the motor housing cover.

[0035] An annular sealing groove 26 is respectively formed on the inner and outer circles of the lower end surface of the upper housing 2. A sealing ring 6 is inserted into the sealing groove 26, and the sealing ring 6 is clamped and fixed between the upper housing 2 and the lower housing 1; the lower cooling groove 11 and the upper cooling groove 23 are both located between the sealing rings 6.

[0036] A circular upper sealing ring groove 27 is formed on the upper end surface of the upper housing 2, and a circular lower sealing ring groove is formed on the lower end surface of the lower housing 1.

[0037] Working principle: The present utility model is the motor housing of a high-efficiency aluminum shell motor. The aluminum shell motor uses aluminum alloy to make the motor housing. Aluminum alloy has good heat conduction effect. At the same time, the internal water cooling flow channel can effectively improve the heat dissipation effect, and thus can comprehensively improve the performance and efficiency of the motor;

[0038] This aluminum shell is composed of an upper housing 2 and a lower housing 1. The upper cooling groove 23 and the lower cooling groove 11 which are offset from each other are respectively arranged on the upper housing 2 and the lower housing 1. The upper cooling groove 23 and the lower cooling groove 11 form a cooling flow channel similar to a sine shape in the aluminum shell. Water cooling of the motor is realized by introducing water through the water inlet interface 12 and discharging water through the water outlet interface 13.

[0039] The aluminum shell of this structure participates in the assembly of the motor as a whole component. Except when problems occur in the water cooling system and the upper housing 2 and the lower housing 1 need to be disassembled, when problems occur in other components of the motor, it is not necessary to disassemble the upper housing 2 and the lower housing 1. For conventional motor repairs, such as repairing the stator or rotor, it is not necessary to disassemble the aluminum shell, so there is no need for procedures such as draining water, which is convenient for repair operations.

[0040] The described embodiments are used to illustrate the present utility model by way of example, rather than to limit the present utility model. Any person skilled in the art can modify the described embodiments without departing from the spirit and scope of the present utility model. Therefore, the scope of the rights protection of the present utility model should be as listed in the claims of the present utility model.
