[0041] like Figures 1 to 11As shown, this embodiment provides a PCB motor, which includes a housing 10, a stator 20, and a heat dissipation structure 30. The stator 20 and the heat dissipation structure 30 are both disposed within the housing 10. The heat dissipation structure 30 includes an evaporation portion 31 and a condensation portion 32. The evaporation portion 31 is provided with an evaporation channel 311, and the condensation portion 32 is provided with a condensation channel 321. The evaporation channel 311 and the condensation channel 321 are connected end to end to form a cooling circuit. A gas-liquid phase change medium is disposed within the cooling circuit. The evaporation portion 31 and the stator 20 are disposed in contact with each other, and the condensation portion 32 is disposed in contact with the inner wall of the housing 10. The gas-liquid phase change medium can be an existing phase change material such as docosane or hexadecane, and the phase change temperature is required to be between 50°C and 80°C.
[0042] Specifically, in this embodiment, the stator 20 of the PCB motor is fixed to the inner wall of the shell 10, the evaporation part 31 of the heat dissipation structure 30 is fitted with the stator 20, and the condensation part 32 of the heat dissipation structure 30 is fitted with the inner wall of the shell 10. An evaporation channel 311 is provided inside the evaporation part 31, and a condensation channel 321 is provided inside the condensation part 32. The gas-liquid phase change medium provided in the cooling circulation loop formed by connecting the evaporation channel 311 and the condensation channel 321 end to end circulates back and forth between the evaporation channel 311 and the condensation channel 321, thereby transferring the heat of the stator 20 to the shell 10, thereby ensuring that the temperature rise of the stator 20 will not affect the performance of the PCB motor.
[0043] Furthermore, if Figures 7 to 11 As shown, the evaporation portion 31 is annular and closely attached to the end face of the stator 20, and the condensation portion 32 is connected to the end of the evaporation portion 31 away from the motor shaft 40. Specifically, in this embodiment, this arrangement enables the evaporation portion 31 to be attached to the axial end face of the stator 20, and the evaporation portion 31 is annular, that is, extends along the radial direction of the stator 20, which can increase the contact area between the evaporation portion 31 and the stator 20, which is beneficial to the improvement of the heat transfer effect, and the condensation portion 32 is connected to the end of the evaporation portion 31 away from the motor shaft 40, which facilitates the condensation portion 32 to be attached to the housing 10, so that the stator 20, the evaporation portion 31 and the condensation portion 32 are arranged along a certain direction, thereby allowing heat to be transferred along a fixed direction, ensuring that the heat gradually decreases, which is beneficial to the heat transfer.
[0044] Furthermore, two heat dissipation structures 30 are provided, and the two heat dissipation structures 30 are respectively located at the two ends of the stator 20 along the axial direction. Specifically, in this embodiment, the PCB motor further includes a motor shaft 40 and a rotor 50. The two rotors 50 are provided on the motor shaft 40, and the two rotors 50 are provided at intervals. The stator 20 is provided between the two rotors 50. The two heat dissipation structures 30 are respectively located at the two ends of the stator 20 along the axial direction. The condensation parts 32 of the two heat dissipation structures 30 are attached to the housing 10, and the evaporation parts 31 of the two heat dissipation structures 30 are respectively attached to both sides of the stator 20 for absorbing the heat of the stator 20. The two heat dissipation structures 30 are used to dissipate heat from both ends of the stator 20 at the same time, thereby improving the efficiency of heat transfer from the stator 20 and ensuring the temperature of the stator 20 during use.
[0045] For further information, please refer to Figure 10 The evaporation portion 31 is provided with a liquid collecting chamber 312 and an air collecting chamber 313. The air collecting chamber 313 is located above the liquid collecting chamber 312. The upper end of the evaporation channel 311 is connected to the air collecting chamber 313, and the lower end of the evaporation channel 311 is connected to the liquid collecting chamber 312. The upper end of the condensation channel 321 is connected to the air collecting chamber 313, and the lower end of the condensation channel 321 is connected to the liquid collecting chamber 312.
[0046] Specifically, in this embodiment, the liquid collecting chamber 312 is used to accommodate a gas-liquid phase change medium in a liquid state, and the gas collecting chamber 313 is used to accommodate a gas-liquid phase change medium in a gaseous state. When the PCB motor stops working, the temperature of the gas-liquid thermal conductive medium is low and is in a liquid state, so it will be accommodated in the liquid collecting chamber 312. When the PCB motor is working, the temperature of the stator 20 rises, and the gas-liquid thermal conductive medium in the liquid collecting chamber 312 is converted into a gaseous state. The gaseous gas-liquid thermal conductive medium will enter the gas collecting chamber 313 along the evaporation chamber, and then transfer the heat of the stator 20.
[0047] For further information, please refer to Figure 10 The volume of the gas collecting chamber 313 is smaller than that of the liquid collecting chamber 312. Specifically, in this embodiment, as the temperature of the stator 20 increases, the gas-liquid heat conducting medium in a liquid state gradually transforms into a gaseous state. The gas collecting chamber 313 is used to accommodate the gas-liquid heat conducting medium in a gaseous state. As more and more gaseous gas-liquid heat conducting medium enters the gas collecting chamber 313, the pressure of the gas collecting chamber 313 increases, which helps the gas-liquid heat conducting medium in the gas collecting chamber 313 enter the condensation channel 321, thereby improving the efficiency of temperature transfer.
[0048] For further information, please refer to Figure 8The condensation portion 32 is provided with a first transition chamber 322 and a second transition chamber 323. The first transition chamber 322 is provided between the gas collecting chamber 313 and the condensation channel 321, and the second transition chamber 323 is provided between the liquid collecting chamber 312 and the condensation channel 321. Specifically, in this embodiment, the first transition chamber 322 is provided between the gas collecting chamber 313 and the condensation channel 321, and is used to transition between the gas collecting chamber 313 and the condensation channel 321. It can provide a buffer between the gas collecting chamber 313 and the condensation channel 321, which is conducive to the gas-liquid phase change medium in a gaseous state entering the condensation channel 321; the second transition chamber 323 is provided between the liquid collecting chamber 312 and the condensation channel 321, and is used to provide a buffer between the liquid collecting chamber 312 and the condensation channel 321, which is conducive to the gas-liquid phase change medium in a liquid state entering the liquid collecting chamber 312.
[0049] Furthermore, a plurality of evaporation channels 311 are provided, and the plurality of evaporation channels 311 are spaced apart. Specifically, in this embodiment, the plurality of evaporation channels 311 are arc-shaped and concentrically spaced apart on the circumferential surface of the evaporation portion 31, thereby providing guidance for the gas-liquid heat transfer medium in a gaseous state and improving the transport efficiency of the gas-liquid heat transfer medium in a gaseous state.
[0050] For further information, please refer to Figure 11 The condensation channel 321 is a wavy channel extending along the circumference of the stator 20. Specifically, in this embodiment, the condensation channel 321 is a rectangular wave, which can increase the contact area between the condensation channel 321 and the housing 10, ensuring the heat conduction effect between the condensation portion 32 and the housing 10.
[0051] Furthermore, the heat dissipation structure 30 is symmetrically arranged about a predetermined plane, and the central axis of the stator 20 lies in the predetermined plane, which is a vertical plane. Specifically, in this embodiment, the central axis of the stator 20 extends horizontally and lies within the predetermined plane. The symmetrical arrangement of the heat dissipation structure 30 about the predetermined plane can improve the phase transition smoothness of the gas-liquid phase change medium, ensure the thermal conductivity of the gas-liquid phase change medium, and thus ensure heat transfer from the stator 20.
[0052] In this embodiment, please refer to Figure 4 The motor shaft 40 includes a connecting portion 41 having a connecting hole, a through hole provided on one rotor 50, and a threaded hole provided on the other rotor 50. Bolts pass through the through holes and the connecting hole and are then threadedly connected to the threaded holes to connect the two rotors 50 to the motor shaft 40. Specifically, in this embodiment, the rotors 50 are connected to the motor shaft 40 using a bolted connection method, which provides a stable connection and facilitates disassembly.
[0053] In other embodiments, the rotor 50 is directly press-fitted onto the motor shaft 40 , or the rotor 50 and the motor shaft 40 are connected via a key, which will not be described in detail here.
[0054] In this embodiment, please refer to Figure 2 and Figure 6 The housing 10 includes a first housing 11 and a second housing 12. One of the first housing 11 and the second housing 12 is provided with a receiving groove 111. The stator 20 is provided with a protrusion 21, which is received in the receiving groove 111. Specifically, in this embodiment, the first housing 11 is provided with the receiving groove 111, and the stator 20 is provided with the protrusion 21. The protrusion 21 is received in the receiving groove 111, thereby limiting the position of the stator 20 and ensuring the function of the stator 20.
[0055] In this embodiment, one of the first housing 11 and the second housing 12 is provided with a connecting through-hole, and the other of the first housing 11 and the second housing 12 is provided with a connecting threaded hole. A locking screw passes through the connecting through-hole and is threadedly connected to the connecting threaded hole, thereby connecting the first housing 11 and the second housing 12. Specifically, in this embodiment, the use of the locking screw to connect the first housing 11 and the second housing 12 provides a stable connection and facilitates assembly and disassembly.
[0056] In this embodiment, the motor shaft 40 is rotatably disposed in the first housing 11 and the second housing 12 via a bearing 60. Specifically, in this embodiment, the motor shaft 40 is rotatably disposed in the first housing 11 and the second housing 12 via a bearing 60, thereby ensuring normal rotation of the motor shaft 40 and normal use of the motor.
[0057] Furthermore, the inner cavity of the housing 10 forms an air passage, and the housing 10 is provided with an air inlet and an air outlet. The two ends of the air passage are connected to the air inlet and the air outlet respectively, and a cooling fan is provided in the air passage. Specifically, in this embodiment, a cooling fan is provided in the air passage inside the housing 10. When the cooling fan is in operation, it can draw cold air from the air inlet, exchange heat with the housing 10 after passing through the housing 10, and then be discharged through the air outlet, thereby improving the heat dissipation efficiency of the housing 10. The installation of the cooling fan is consistent with that of existing air-cooled motors and will not be described in detail here.
