[0002] In recent years, with the rapid development of cities and the rapid increase in the population of large cities, existing passenger transportation can no longer meet people's needs. In daily life, short-distance transportation or passenger transport often uses ground transportation such as buses, cars, and trucks. These modes of transportation are often restricted by ground roads and often experience traffic congestion. In terms of aircraft, manned aircraft are suitable for short-distance transportation and will be widely used and developed now and in the future.
[0003] During the use of an aircraft, some equipment will need to be cooled to improve the aircraft's endurance. However, existing radiators are too large and limited by the size of the transfer space, making them inconvenient to install and affecting the cooling effect of the motor and reducer.

Hot water enters from the water inlet, exchanges heat with the air, and flows out from the water outlet. A water flow path is formed between the water inlet and the water outlet and the heat dissipation flat tube to ensure that the water can flow.

[0021] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the embodiments described are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0022] See also Figure 1-3 A water-cooled radiator for an electric aircraft includes a confluence body 1 arranged on both sides, a heat sink arranged between the confluence bodies 1 on both sides, and a polygon formed between the confluence bodies 1 on both sides and the heat sink. The polygon can be adapted according to the shape of the aircraft body and is not limited to a quadrilateral, hexagon, octagon, etc. A water inlet and a water outlet are respectively provided on the confluence bodies 1 on both sides, which are used for water inlet and water outlet respectively. Hot water enters from the water inlet, is dissipated, and flows out from the water outlet. A water flow path is formed between the water inlet and the water outlet and the heat sink to ensure that the water flow can flow.
[0023] The heat sink includes heat dissipation flat tubes 2 and heat dissipation fins 3. The heat dissipation flat tubes 2 are distributed horizontally or vertically between the converging bodies 1, and multiple groups of heat dissipation fins 3 are distributed between the heat dissipation flat tubes 2. An inner ring fluid 4 is also provided in the middle of the heat sink. The inner ring fluid 4 is provided with a mounting hole, through which the radiator can be installed on the equipment. The inner ring fluid 4 is connected to the heat sink to form a water flow path.
[0024] Typical application scenarios also include a motor 5 and a fan 6. The motor 5 is coaxially connected to the fan 6. The radiator is placed between the fan 6 and the motor 5, or on the other side of the fan 6, to achieve rapid airflow in the equipment space, thereby achieving the purpose of rapid heat dissipation of the equipment. The inner annular fluid 4 is sleeved on the rotating shaft of the motor 5 and rotates together with the rotating shaft.
[0025] A bearing is also provided between the inner annular fluid 4 and the rotating shaft of the motor 5. The stability of the radiator can be improved by installing the bearing; the radiator is made of metal, which can quickly absorb and dissipate heat, thereby achieving a cooling effect.
[0026] Working principle: First, place the radiator in the duct in the space where heat dissipation is required. The shape of the radiator can be determined according to the shape of the duct. The radiator can be installed between the fan 6 and the motor 5, or it can be installed on the side of the fan 6 away from the motor 5. When the radiator is installed between the fan 6 and the motor 5, the motor 5 drives the fan 6 to rotate, forcing air to blow to the surface of the radiator for heat dissipation; when the radiator is installed on the other side of the fan 6, the motor 5 drives the fan 6 to rotate, forcibly extracting air from the surface of the radiator, so that the air flows on the surface of the radiator, and heat is exchanged when passing through the radiator fins 3 and the heat dissipation flat tubes 2. During this process, the coolant will enter from the water inlet and flow out from the water outlet.
[0027] Although the embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and variations may be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, and the scope of the present invention is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
