[0038] By applying the technical solution of the present utility model, a drive system with a heat dissipation structure is provided, the drive system includes a motor housing 10, a motor assembly 20, a pump body structure 30 and a heat dissipation structure 50, wherein the motor housing 10 has an accommodating cavity 11 and a first avoidance hole 12 connected to the accommodating cavity 11, and the motor housing 10 also has an oil passage 13; the motor assembly 20 includes a driving part 21 and a transmission part 22, at least part of the driving part 21 is arranged in the accommodating cavity 11, the driving part 21 is driven and connected to the transmission part 22, and the end of the transmission part 22 away from the driving part 21 passes through the first avoidance hole 12 for being connected to the propeller drive; the pump body structure 30 is arranged at the end of the motor housing 10 away from the first avoidance hole 12, the pump body structure 30 has an oil storage chamber and an oil return chamber that are connected, and the oil storage chamber is connected to the oil passage inlet of the oil passage 13; the heat dissipation structure 50 is arranged at the axial end of the pump body structure 30 away from the motor housing 10, for dissipating the heat of the lubricating oil in the oil storage chamber and / or the oil return chamber.
[0039] Furthermore, a first annular space is formed between a portion of the outer peripheral surface of the transmission part 22 located in the first avoidance hole 12 and a portion of the hole wall surface of the first avoidance hole 12, and the first annular space is used to accommodate the first bearing structure 122, and the first oil channel outlet 131 of the oil channel 13 is connected to the first annular space to lubricate and cool the first bearing structure 122, and the first annular space is connected to the return oil chamber; and / or, the driving part 21 includes a stator structure 211, the accommodating cavity 11 has a first sub-annular cavity 111, the stator structure 211 is located in the first sub-annular cavity 111, and the second oil channel outlet 132 of the oil channel 13 is connected to the first sub-annular cavity 111 to cool the stator structure 211, and the first sub-annular cavity 111 is connected to the return oil chamber.
[0040] The drive system provided in the present application is configured with a pump body structure 30 and an oil passage 13 in the motor housing 10, so that the pump body structure 30 can pump the lubricating oil in the oil storage chamber to the first oil passage outlet 131 through the oil passage 13, so that the lubricating oil flows into the first annular space, thereby lubricating and cooling the first bearing structure 122 in the first annular space, and finally the lubricating oil after lubrication and heat exchange flows back to the return oil chamber.
[0041] Of course, the pump body structure 30 can also pump the lubricating oil in the oil storage chamber to the second oil channel outlet 132 through the oil channel 13, so that the lubricating oil flows into the first sub-annular cavity 111, thereby achieving the purpose of cooling the stator structure 211 in the first sub-annular cavity 111, and finally the lubricating oil after heat exchange flows back to the return oil chamber.
[0042] In addition, the present application sets up a heat dissipation structure 50, which serves the purpose of dissipating the heat of the lubricating oil in the oil storage chamber and / or the oil return chamber, thereby ensuring that the lubricating oil in the oil storage chamber and / or the oil return chamber can always maintain a preset temperature to ensure its lubrication and heat exchange effects.
[0043] Optionally, the heat dissipation structure 50 is detachably connected to the pump body structure 30 , thereby ensuring that the heat dissipation structure 50 and the pump body structure 30 are easily assembled and disassembled.
[0044] It should be noted that, in the present application, the motor housing 10 is concentrically arranged with the motor assembly 20; and / or, the motor assembly 20 is concentrically arranged with the pump body structure 30; and / or, the heat dissipation structure 50 is concentrically arranged with the pump body structure 30.
[0045] like Figure 4 and Figure 5As shown, the heat dissipation structure 50 includes a heat dissipation housing 51, which has a receiving groove 511. The notch of the receiving groove 511 faces the side of the pump body structure 30, so that an installation space is formed between the groove wall surface of the receiving groove 511 and the end surface of the rotor pump housing 31 of the pump body structure 30 facing away from the motor housing 10. The drive system also includes a motor controller 60, which is arranged in the installation space and is controlled and connected to the drive unit 21. In this way, the installation reliability of the motor controller 60 is ensured. It also plays a protective role for the motor controller 60 and heat dissipation.
[0046] like Figure 4 As shown, the heat dissipation shell 51 has a first installation area and a second installation area on the end face facing away from the pump body structure 30, and the second installation area is located on the outer peripheral side of the first installation area; the heat dissipation structure 50 also includes a fan 52 and heat dissipation fins 53, wherein the fan 52 is rotatably arranged in the first installation area; there are multiple heat dissipation fins 53, and the multiple heat dissipation fins 53 are radially arranged in the second installation area.
[0047] It should be noted that, in the present application, considering that the area of the second mounting area is larger than that of the first mounting area, optionally, the number of blades of the fan 52 is smaller than the number of the heat dissipation fins 53. In this way, the heat dissipation reliability of the fan 52 and the heat dissipation reliability of the heat dissipation fins 53 are ensured.
[0048] like Figure 4 As shown, the radial length of the heat dissipation fins 53 of the heat dissipation housing 51 is greater than the radial length of the fan blades of the fan 52 of the heat dissipation housing 51. This ensures that the rotation of the fan 52 drives the air flow at the bottom, and the flowing air flows to the heat dissipation fins 53 and exchanges heat with the heat dissipation fins 53, thereby removing heat from the motor controller 60 and heat from the lubricating oil in the oil storage chamber and / or the oil return chamber.
[0049] like Figure 4 As shown, the drive unit 21 includes a motor drive shaft 212, a rotor structure 213, and a stator structure 211. Part of the motor drive shaft 212 is rotatably disposed within the accommodating cavity 11, while another part of the motor drive shaft 212 extends into the first avoidance hole 12. The rotor structure 213 is sleeved around the outer periphery of the motor drive shaft 212. The stator structure 211 is sleeved around the outer periphery of the rotor structure 213. The stator structure 211 has a stator gap, which communicates with the first sub-annular cavity 111. This ensures that lubricating oil flowing through the stator gap can flow back into the oil return cavity under its own gravity after heat exchange.

The assembly shaft section extends into the center hole of the motor drive shaft 212 to connect with the motor drive shaft 212, and the stop ring is flush with the end surface of the motor drive shaft 212 that faces away from the flange connection shaft. A fifth avoidance hole is defined at a position in the first mounting area opposite the fourth avoidance hole of the motor controller 60. The end of the drive shaft section 322 that faces away from the assembly shaft section passes through the second avoidance hole, the third avoidance hole, the fourth avoidance hole, and the fifth avoidance hole in sequence to be drivingly connected to the fan 52. In this way, the reliability of the drive shaft section 322 driving the fan 52 is ensured without the need for an additional drive structure for the fan 52.

In this way, due to Figure 4 The drive system is installed vertically. When the drive system rises with the low-altitude aircraft, the outside air flows through the first heat sink 17, so that the outside air flowing through the first heat sink 17 can take away the heat on the first heat sink 17, thereby exchanging heat with the higher temperature lubricating oil flowing through the first channel section 133, forming a cooling circuit for the lubricating oil, and ensuring the thermal balance of the drive system.
[0052] It should be noted that, in the present application, the first avoidance hole 12 is provided at the first axial end of the motor housing 10, and the pump body structure 30 is provided at the second axial end of the motor housing 10. In this way, the axial space of the drive system is fully utilized, thereby ensuring the overall compactness of the drive system.
[0053] Preferably, the motor housing 10 and the motor assembly 20 are arranged concentrically; and / or the motor assembly 20 and the pump body structure 30 are arranged concentrically. In this way, the force transmission reliability and power output reliability of the drive system provided by the present application are ensured.
[0054] It should be noted that Figure 4The schematic diagram of the drive system in the figure shows the vertical installation direction of the drive system, so that the lubricating oil pumped upward after heat exchange and lubrication can flow back to the oil return chamber under the action of its own gravity, ensuring the circulation of the lubricating oil.

In this way, due to Figure 4 The drive system is installed vertically. When the drive system rises with the low-altitude aircraft, the outside air flows through the first heat sink 17, so that the outside air flowing through the first heat sink 17 can take away the heat on the first heat sink 17, thereby exchanging heat with the higher temperature lubricating oil flowing through the first channel section 133, forming a cooling circuit for the lubricating oil, and ensuring the thermal balance of the drive system.
[0072] The beneficial effects of this application are as follows:
[0073] 1) Through the oil channel design of the rotor pump and the motor housing, the lubricating oil output by the rotor pump flows to the corresponding oil channels, respectively forcing lubrication and cooling of the bearings and motor stators. Through oil spray lubrication, the bearing life can be significantly improved, and the motor stator can be quickly cooled, thereby improving the reliability and efficiency of the system and achieving greater torque and higher power output. At the same time, the rotor pump shaft is fixedly connected to the motor rotor shaft, relying on the power of the motor rotor shaft to drive the rotor pump to work, without the need for external power input, simplifying the system structure and space;
[0074] 2) The lubricating oil output from the rotor pump flows through the inner wall pipe of the housing, where it comes into contact with the heat sink of the outer housing for convection cooling. After cooling, the lubricating oil enters the bearings and motor stator. In addition, the fan in the bottom housing of the motor rotates to cool the lubricating oil in the motor controller and oil pan, further cooling the system's lubricating oil and improving the system's cooling efficiency.
[0075] 3) The motor’s internal rotor output reduces motor design costs and facilitates system lubrication design.
