[0002] An electric vertical take-off and landing (eVTOL) aircraft includes an electric propulsion system, which includes a propeller and an electric motor. The electric motor includes a power motor, which is connected to the propeller and drives the propeller. During operation, the power motor generates a large amount of heat. If the power motor is not cooled in a timely manner, its operation will be affected. Utility Model Content

[0003] The present application aims to provide an electric engine, an electric propulsion device and an aircraft, wherein the heat dissipation efficiency of the power motor is high, which is conducive to ensuring the working performance of the power motor.

[0006] The fan has an air guide assembly, which is used to guide part of the airflow on the air inlet side of the fan to the middle area of ​​the fan and blow it toward the radiator from the middle area of ​​the fan.

[0007] The electric engine provided in the embodiment of the present application can increase the wind speed and air supply volume in the middle area of ​​the fan through the air guide of the air guide component, thereby increasing the air pressure between the middle area of ​​the fan and the radiator. The air outlet of the fan is relatively uniform, and it is less likely that the air on the side of the radiator facing away from the fan will pass through the middle area of ​​the radiator and flow back to the side of the radiator close to the fan, thereby causing the problem of heating the radiator. This is beneficial to improving the heat dissipation effect of the fan on the radiator, and is convenient for achieving a good heat dissipation effect on the power motor in a smaller electric engine, making it less likely that the motor will overheat and have other problems.

[0061] An embodiment of the present application provides an aircraft, which may be an electric vertical take-off and landing (eVTOL) aircraft, or may be other aircraft.

[0062] Figure 1 A schematic diagram of an aircraft provided in an embodiment of the present application. Figure 1 The aircraft shown is for illustration only and does not constitute a limitation to the specific structure and shape of the aircraft.

[0063] like Figure 1As shown, the aircraft includes a fuselage 11, wings 12 and a tail 13. Among them, the fuselage 11 is a symmetrical structure, and the remaining structure and shape of the fuselage 11 are not limited and can refer to the structure of the fuselage 11 of the existing aircraft. The wings are fixedly connected to the fuselage 11 and extend along both sides of the fuselage 11. The wings 12 on both sides are symmetrically arranged relative to the symmetry plane of the fuselage 11. The structure of the wings 12 can also refer to the fixed wing structure of the existing aircraft, and will not be repeated here. The tail 13 is fixedly set at the tail of the fuselage 11. The tail 13 is integrally formed with the fuselage 11 or mechanically connected, and has a symmetrical structure. The structure of the tail 13 can also refer to the structure of the tail 13 of the existing aircraft, and will not be repeated here.

[0064] It should be noted that, in some scenarios, the aircraft may also include a fuselage 11 and wings 12 , that is, the aircraft does not include a tail 13 .

[0065] like Figure 1 As shown, the aircraft further includes an electric propulsion device 20, which can be used to provide power for the aircraft. The number of the electric propulsion device 20 is one or more electric propulsion devices 20, for example Figure 1 As shown, the aircraft includes eight electric propulsion devices 20 .

[0066] The electric propulsion device 20 is arranged on the fuselage 11 and / or the wings 12 and / or the tail 13, for example Figure 1 As shown, electric propulsion devices 20 are symmetrically provided on the wings 12 and the tail 13. Of course, in some scenarios, the electric propulsion devices 20 are provided on the fuselage 11, while the wings 12 and tail 13 are not provided with electric propulsion devices 20. In other scenarios, the electric propulsion devices 20 are provided on the wings 12, while the fuselage 11 and tail 13 are not provided with electric propulsion devices 20. In still other scenarios, the electric propulsion devices 20 are provided on the tail 13, while the fuselage 11 and wings 12 are not provided with electric propulsion devices 20.

[0067] Continue to see Figure 1 As shown, the aircraft further includes an arm 14 and a nacelle 15, both of which are used to connect to an electric propulsion device 20, so as to set the electric propulsion device 20 on the fuselage 11, the wing 12, or the tail 13. Of course, in some scenarios, the aircraft may also include either the arm 14 or the nacelle 15.

[0068] In some embodiments, as Figure 1 As shown, the electric propulsion device 20 is disposed on the wing 12 via the arm 14. In other embodiments, the electric propulsion device 20 may also be disposed on the wing 12 via a nacelle 15 (not shown in the figure).

[0069] In some embodiments, as Figure 1As shown, the electric propulsion device 20 is disposed on the tail 13 via the nacelle 15. In other embodiments, the electric propulsion device 20 may also be disposed on the tail 13 via the machine arm 14 (not shown in the figure).

[0070] In some examples, the electric propulsion device 20 provided on the aircraft may include a fixed electric propulsion device 20 a , which is fixedly connected to any one of the fuselage 11 , the wings 12 , and the tail 13 .

[0071] In some examples, the electric propulsion device 20 provided on the aircraft may include a tilting electric propulsion device 20b, and a tilting mechanism is provided between the tilting electric propulsion device 20b and any one of the fuselage 11, wings 12 and tail 13, and the tilting mechanism is used to adjust the tilt angle of the tilting electric propulsion device 20b.

[0072] In some examples, all electric propulsion devices 20 provided on the aircraft are fixed electric propulsion devices 20 a.

[0073] In other examples, all electric propulsion devices 20 provided on the aircraft are tilting electric propulsion devices 20b.

[0074] In some other examples, some of the electric propulsion devices 20 provided on the aircraft are fixed electric propulsion devices 20a, and some of the electric propulsion devices 20 are tilting electric propulsion devices 20b, for example. Figure 1 As shown, four of the electric propulsion devices 20 are fixed electric propulsion devices 20a, and the remaining four electric propulsion devices 20 are tilting electric propulsion devices 20b. The fixed electric propulsion devices 20a are arranged on the outside of the tilting electric propulsion devices 20b.

[0075] In this embodiment, the electric propulsion device 20 includes a power battery (not shown), an electric motor 21, and a propeller 22. The electric motor 21 includes a power motor 100, a motor controller (not shown), and cables, and can convert electrical energy into mechanical energy. In actual implementation, the electric motor 21 can also be referred to as an electric propulsion system.

[0076] like Figure 1 As shown, the electric engine 21 is arranged on the arm 14 or the nacelle 15, and the propeller 22 is arranged on one side of the electric engine 21. The electric engine 21 is transmission-connected to the propeller 22, and the electric engine 21 is used to drive the propeller 22 to rotate to provide power for the aircraft.

[0077] Figure 2 A schematic diagram of an electric motor provided in an embodiment of the present application.

[0078] like Figure 2As shown, in the embodiment of the present application, the electric engine 21 includes a power motor 100, and the power motor 100 can be set on the fuselage 11 and / or the wing 12 and / or the tail 13 through a mounting seat.

[0079] The propeller 22 may be disposed on one side of the power motor 100 . The power motor 100 is in transmission connection with the propeller 22 . The power motor 100 is used to drive the propeller 22 to rotate.

[0080] The electric engine 21 also includes a radiator 300, which is arranged on the side of the power motor 100 away from the propeller 22. The radiator 300 can be arranged on the housing of the power motor 100. The heat on the power motor 100 can be transferred to the radiator 300. The radiator 300 is used to dissipate heat for the power motor 100.

[0081] The electric motor 21 also includes a fan 200, which is disposed on the side of the power motor 100 facing away from the propeller 22. Along the axial direction of the fan 200, the fan 200 has an air inlet side and an air outlet side. The power motor 100 is located on the air inlet side of the fan 200, and the radiator 300 is located on the air outlet side of the fan 200. In other words, the radiator 300 and the power motor 100 are disposed on opposite axial sides of the fan 200, with the fan 200 located between them. The fan 200 is configured to blow air toward the radiator 300, thereby cooling and dissipating heat from the radiator 300.

[0082] The axial direction of the fan 200 refers to the extending direction of the rotation axis of the fan 200 .

[0083] The electric engine 21 also includes a drive motor 700, which is arranged on the side of the power motor 100 away from the propeller 22. The drive motor 700 is connected to the housing of the power motor 100 (for example, it can be fixedly connected). The drive motor 700 is located on the air inlet side of the fan 200. The drive motor 700 is transmission-connected to the fan 200. The drive motor 700 is used to drive the fan 200 so that the fan blows air toward the radiator 300.

[0084] The fan 200 includes an impeller including a plurality of blades 220 arranged along the circumference of the fan 200 . The drive motor 700 is used to drive the blades 220 to rotate to generate an airflow flowing toward the radiator 300 .

[0085] Exemplarily, the impeller also includes a hub 210, and the end of the fan blade 220 facing the center of the fan 200 is fixedly connected to the hub 210. The drive motor 700 is transmission-connected to the hub 210, and the drive motor 700 is used to drive the hub 210 to rotate, so that the hub 210 drives the fan blade 220 to rotate.

[0086] In some examples, the fan 200 further includes a transmission shaft 250, through which the drive motor 700 is transmission-connected to the hub 210. This allows the drive motor 700 and the impeller to be spaced axially apart from each other in the fan 200, thereby facilitating the fan 200 to draw air through the gap between the impeller and the drive motor 700. Furthermore, this facilitates assembly of the drive motor 700 onto the housing of the power motor 100, making assembly of the drive motor 700 relatively easy.

[0087] Exemplarily, the hub 210 and the blades 220 rotate around the transmission shaft 250 , and the extension direction of the transmission shaft 250 is the axial direction of the fan 200 .

[0088] Illustratively, the transmission shaft 250 is coaxial with the output shaft of the driving motor 700 .

[0089] In other examples, the hub 210 may be directly connected to the output shaft of the drive motor 700 .

[0090] Many high-power, heat-generating moving parts, such as the drive motors of new energy vehicles and the engines of fuel vehicles, generate a lot of heat during operation. Therefore, they are usually equipped with a cooling system (radiator and fan). The airflow generated by the fan blows through the radiator, thereby removing the heat generated by the moving parts. The heat dissipation of motors and engines such as automobiles is relatively spacious due to the structural layout and no rigid quality requirements. Therefore, in order to meet the heat dissipation requirements, there are not too many restrictions on the size of the radiator and the fan, and the front end of the radiator is usually not very tight and has no excessive obstruction. In order to meet the weight and layout space requirements of current electric vertical take-off and landing aircraft, the design of the product is usually required to be small and precise, and to ensure the achievement of performance. In this way, the air inlet of the radiator may be blocked by components such as the drive motor. This layout will inevitably cause new problems that do not occur in other industries, such as uneven distribution of the air intake, which can seriously cause a large amount of heat backflow in the middle area of ​​the radiator.

[0091] Specifically, due to the obstruction of the drive motor, the air intake volume of the middle area of ​​the fan (that is, the middle area of ​​the impeller) is small, resulting in a small air supply volume in the middle area of ​​the fan. In addition, due to the centrifugal force of the rotation of the impeller, the wind speed in the outer area of ​​the fan (that is, the outer area of ​​the impeller) is higher than the wind speed in the middle area of ​​the fan. The wind blown out by the fan is blocked by the radiator, and the airflow between the fan and the radiator will be pressed toward the outer area of ​​the fan. In this way, the space between the fan and the radiator will have a phenomenon in which the air pressure in the middle area of ​​the fan is low and the air pressure in the outer area of ​​the fan is high. At this time, the wind blown out by the fan will pass through the part of the radiator close to the outside. On the side of the radiator facing away from the fan, due to the pressure difference between the middle area of ​​the radiator and the area near the part of the radiator close to the outside, the air that has passed through the radiator and exchanged heat with the radiator will flow to the middle area of ​​the radiator. Due to the pressure difference between the middle area of ​​the radiator on the side close to the fan and the side away from the fan, the air on the side of the radiator away from the fan will pass through the middle area of ​​the radiator and flow back to the side of the radiator close to the fan. The wind blown by the fan is difficult to dissipate heat to the middle area of ​​the radiator, and the return air passing through the middle part of the radiator will heat the radiator, resulting in poor cooling effect of the fan on the radiator, making the power motor prone to overheating and other problems.

[0092] In related fields, to improve heat dissipation, the size of the radiator or fan is increased, or the distance between the radiator and fan is increased. However, increasing the size of the radiator or fan, or increasing the distance between the radiator and fan, often results in an increase in the size of the device. However, aircraft electric engines are relatively small, and the space for the cooling system is often limited, making it impossible to install the large radiators or fans commonly used in related fields, or to increase the distance between the radiator and fan.

[0093] Based on this, in an embodiment of the present application, the fan 200 has an air guide assembly, which is used to guide part of the airflow on the air inlet side of the fan 200 to the middle area of ​​the fan 200 and blow it from the middle area of ​​the fan 200 to the radiator 300.

[0094] In this way, the wind guide of the air guide component can increase the wind speed and air supply volume in the middle area of ​​the fan 200, increase the air pressure between the middle area of ​​the fan 200 and the radiator 300, and make the air discharge from each part of the fan 200 more uniform. It is not easy for the air on the side of the radiator 300 away from the fan 200 to pass through the middle area of ​​the radiator 300 and flow back to the side of the radiator 300 close to the fan 200, thereby causing the problem of heating the radiator 300. This is beneficial to improving the heat dissipation effect of the fan 200 on the radiator 300, and is convenient for achieving a good heat dissipation effect on the power motor 100 in the smaller electric engine 21, so that the motor is less likely to have problems such as overheating.

[0095] Part of the air located on the side of the radiator 300 close to the fan 200 can pass through the radiator 300 through the middle area of ​​the radiator 300, so that the wind blown out by the fan 200 can dissipate heat from the middle area of ​​the radiator 300. It is less likely that the air located on the side of the radiator 300 away from the fan 200 will pass through the middle area of ​​the radiator 300 and flow back to the side of the radiator 300 close to the fan 200.

[0096] The air guide assembly can be used to guide part of the airflow on the air inlet side of the fan 200 to the area near the hub 210 , and blow it from the area near the hub 210 to the radiator 300 .

[0097] In some possible embodiments, one end of the air guide assembly is arranged around the outer periphery of multiple fan blades 220, and the other end of the air guide assembly extends along the fan blades 220 toward the center of the fan 200, so as to block at least part of the airflow from flowing toward the outer periphery of the fan blades 220 and to guide part of the airflow located on the outer periphery of the fan blades 220 to the central area of ​​the fan 200.

[0098] Figure 3 A schematic diagram of a fan provided in an embodiment of the present application is shown. Figure 4 A schematic diagram of airflow at a fan and a radiator of an electric engine provided in an embodiment of the present application. Figure 4 The arrows in the figure indicate the airflow direction of the fan and heat sink.

[0099] like Figure 3 、 Figure 4 As shown, in some possible embodiments, the air guide assembly includes an air shield 230 and an air guide structure 240. The air shield 230 is disposed around the outer periphery of the plurality of fan blades 220. The air guide structure 240 is disposed on the fan blades 220. The air guide structure 240 is configured to guide a portion of the air from one end of the fan blade 220 near the air shield 230 to the end of the fan blade 220 near the center of the fan 200, and blow the air from the end of the fan blade 220 near the center of the fan 200 toward the heat sink 300.

[0100] In this way, part of the air flowing toward the outside of the fan blade 220 will be blocked by the wind protection ring 230 and will be blocked by the wind guide structure 240. The wind guide structure 240 will guide this part of the air to the end of the fan blade 220 close to the center of the fan 200, and then blow it toward the radiator 300, so as to achieve the blocking of part of the airflow flowing toward the outer peripheral side of the fan blade 220 and guide part of the airflow located on the outer peripheral side of the fan blade 220 to the central area of ​​the fan 200. The structure of the air guide component is relatively simple and it is more convenient to set it on the fan 200.

[0101] Exemplarily, the wind shield 230 may be a circular ring structure.

[0102] In the example where the fan 200 includes the hub 210 , the air guide structure 240 is used to guide part of the air at the end of the fan blade 220 close to the wind shield 230 to the end of the fan blade 220 close to the hub 210 , and blow it toward the radiator 300 from the end of the fan blade 220 close to the hub 210 .

[0103] like Figure 3 As shown, in some possible implementations, the fan blade 220 can be fixedly connected to the wind shielding ring 230. Specifically, one end of the fan blade 220 away from the hub 210 can be fixedly connected to the wind shielding ring 230.

[0104] In this way, the wind shield 230 is more convenient to assemble. In addition, the wind shield 230 has a better blocking effect on the air flowing toward the outside of the fan blades 220, which is conducive to blocking more air to the wind guide structure 240, thereby helping to increase the wind speed and air volume in the central area of ​​the fan 200.

[0105] In some other possible implementations, the wind shield 230 may be fixedly connected to the radiator 300 or the housing of the power motor 100 via a connection mechanism.

[0106] like Figure 3 As shown, in some possible implementations, the fan blade 220 includes a pressure surface 221 and a suction surface 222 that are arranged opposite to each other, and the wind guide structure 240 is provided on the pressure surface 221 .

[0107] In this way, the air guiding structure 240 can exert force on the air, and the air guiding structure 240 has a better air guiding effect, which is conducive to guiding more air from the end of the fan blade 220 close to the wind protection ring 230 to the end of the fan blade 220 close to the center of the fan 200.

[0108] The pressure surface 221 is a blade surface for pushing air when the fan blade 220 rotates, and the suction surface 222 is a blade surface for sucking air when the fan blade 220 rotates. The pressure surface 221 and the suction surface 222 are located on both sides of the fan blade 220 in the thickness direction.

[0109] In some other possible implementations, the suction surface 222 of the fan blade 220 may also be provided with an air guide structure 240 .

[0110] Figure 5 A simplified structural diagram of a fan provided in an embodiment of the present application. Figure 5 The direction of the arrow in FIG. 1 is the airflow direction of the air flowing through the air guide duct.

[0111] like Figure 5 As shown, and see Figure 3 、 Figure 5In some possible embodiments, the air guide structure 240 includes an air duct structure portion 241, which has an air guide duct 242 inside the air duct structure portion 241, and the air duct structure portion 241 has an air inlet 243 and an air outlet 244. The air inlet 243 and the air outlet 244 respectively connect the air guide duct 242 to the outside of the air duct structure portion 241. Except for the air inlet 243 and the air outlet 244, the rest of the air duct wall of the air guide duct 242 is a closed structure. The airflow flowing into the air guide structure 240 can enter the air guide duct 242 through the air inlet 243. The duct wall of the air guide duct 242 can limit the direction of the airflow in the air guide duct 242, so that this part of the airflow will not flow randomly. The airflow flowing from the air inlet 243 to the air outlet 244 is more efficient. After the airflow in the air guide duct 242 flows to the air outlet 244, it flows out from the air outlet 244 and blows toward the radiator 300. The air guide structure 240 has a better air guiding effect, which is conducive to guiding more air from the end of the fan blade 220 close to the wind shield 230 to the end of the fan blade 220 close to the hub 210.

[0112] The two ends of the air guide duct 242 extend toward the center of the fan 200 and toward the wind shield 230 respectively, so that the air flow in the air guide duct 242 has higher flow efficiency from the position near the wind shield 230 to the position near the center of the fan 200, and the wind pressure and wind speed losses are small.

[0113] The air inlet 243 is located at one end of the air duct structure 241 near the wind shield 230 and on the side of the air duct structure 241 near the power motor 100, facilitating the efficient flow of air from the wind shield 230 into the air guide duct 242. The air outlet 244 is located at one end of the air duct structure 241 near the center of the fan 200 and on the side of the air duct structure 241 near the radiator 300, facilitating the efficient flow of air within the air guide duct 242 from the central area of ​​the fan 200 toward the radiator 300.

[0114] In some possible implementations, the air duct structure 241 includes a guide wall 2411 , and the guide wall 2411 is used to guide the airflow flowing toward the center of the fan 200 to the air outlet 244 .

[0115] In this way, the turbulence in the air guide duct 242 can be reduced, making it easier for the airflow in the air guide duct 242 to flow out of the air outlet 244 efficiently. The efficiency of guiding the air from the end of the fan blade 220 close to the wind shield 230 to the end of the fan blade 220 close to the center of the fan 200 is higher. The air guide structure 240 has a better guiding effect on the airflow, which is conducive to guiding more airflow from the end of the fan blade 220 close to the wind shield 230 to the end of the fan blade 220 close to the center of the fan 200.

[0116] In the axial direction of the fan 200, the guide wall 2411 is arranged opposite to the air outlet 244, and the distance between the guide wall 2411 and the air outlet 244 gradually increases from the end of the guide wall 2411 close to the center of the fan 200 to the end of the guide wall 2411 away from the center of the fan 200, so that the guide wall 2411 can guide the airflow flowing in the air guide duct 242 toward the center of the fan 200 to the air outlet 244.

[0117] In some possible implementations, the air duct structure 241 is located at an edge of the fan blade 220 close to the heat sink 300 .

[0118] In this way, more airflow blocked by the wind shield 230 can flow into the air guide duct 242 through the air inlet 243, and more airflow can be guided from the end of the fan blade 220 close to the wind shield 230 to the end of the fan blade 220 close to the center of the fan 200.

[0119] In some possible implementations, one end of the air duct structure portion 241 close to the center of the fan 200 extends to one end of the fan blade 220 close to the center of the fan 200 .

[0120] In this way, the airflow in the air guide duct 242 is conveniently guided to a position close to the center of the fan 200 , so as to increase the wind speed and air supply volume in the middle area of ​​the fan 200 .

[0121] Exemplarily, one end of the air duct structure portion 241 close to the center of the fan 200 extends to the hub 210 and is fixedly connected to the hub 210 .

[0122] In some possible implementations, one end of the air duct structure 241 facing away from the center of the fan 200 extends to the wind shielding ring 230 and is fixedly connected to the wind shielding ring 230 .

[0123] In this way, the airflow at the wind shield 230 can be efficiently flowed into the wind guide duct 242, which is conducive to increasing the air intake of the wind guide duct 242. In addition, the fan blade 220 and the wind shield 230 can be fixedly connected through the wind duct structure 241.

[0124] Figure 6 A schematic diagram of another fan provided in an embodiment of the present application.

[0125] like Figure 6As shown, in other possible embodiments, the air guide structure 240 includes air guide ribs 245, which are provided on the pressure surface 221 of the fan blade 220. The air guide ribs 245 may extend from the edge of the fan blade 220 facing away from the radiator 300 to the edge of the fan blade 220 near the radiator 300. The distance between the end of the air guide rib 245 located on the edge of the fan blade 220 facing away from the radiator 300 and the center of the fan 200 is greater than the distance between the end of the air guide rib 245 located on the edge of the fan blade 220 near the radiator 300 and the center of the fan 200. This facilitates guiding part of the airflow at the end of the fan blade 220 near the wind shield 230 to the end of the fan blade 220 near the center of the fan 200 through the air guide rib 245, and blowing the airflow from the end of the fan blade 220 near the center of the fan 200 toward the radiator 300. In addition, it is more convenient to provide solid air guide ribs 245 on the fan blade 220.

[0126] Illustratively, each fan blade 220 may be provided with a plurality of wind guide ribs 245 .

[0127] like Figure 4 As shown, in some possible implementations, the heat sink 300 is disposed perpendicularly relative to the axial direction of the fan 200 .

[0128] Figure 7 A schematic diagram of airflow at a fan and a radiator of another electric engine provided in an embodiment of the present application.

[0129] like Figure 7 As shown, in some other possible implementations, the heat sink 300 is tilted relative to the axial direction of the fan 200 .

[0130] In this way, when there is insufficient space for arranging part of the fan 200 on the side away from the power motor 100, the distance between part of the radiator 300 and the fan 200 can be increased by arranging the radiator 300 at an axial angle relative to the fan 200. The increased distance between part of the radiator 300 and the fan 200 is beneficial to the diffusion of high-speed airflow in the local area between the radiator 300 and the fan 200, thereby helping to increase the speed of the airflow blown onto the radiator 300, and also making the airflow blown onto various places on the radiator 300 more uniform, which is beneficial to improving the heat dissipation efficiency of the radiator 300.

[0131] Figure 8 A schematic diagram of another electric engine provided in an embodiment of the present application.

[0132] like Figure 8As shown, in some possible embodiments, the power motor 100 has a liquid cooling channel 110. The outlet end of the liquid cooling channel 110 is connected to the inlet end of the radiator 300, and the outlet end of the radiator 300 is connected to the inlet end of the liquid cooling channel 110. The liquid cooling channel 110 and the radiator 300 are used to form a cooling medium circulation loop.

[0133] In this way, the power motor 100 is convenient for transferring heat to the radiator 300. In addition, the heat dissipation efficiency of the power motor 100 is high through liquid cooling, and the power motor 100 is not prone to overheating.

[0134] In some examples, the electric engine 21 further includes a liquid supply pipe 500 and a liquid return pipe 600. The outlet of the liquid-cooling channel 110 is connected to the inlet of the radiator 300 via the liquid return pipe 600, and the outlet of the radiator 300 is connected to the inlet of the liquid-cooling channel 110 via the liquid supply pipe 500. The liquid-cooling channel 110, the liquid return pipe 600, the radiator 300, and the liquid supply pipe 500 are used to form a cooling medium circulation loop.

[0135] In this way, it is easy to achieve communication between the radiator 300 spaced apart from the power motor 100 and the liquid cooling channel 110 of the power motor 100 .

[0136] In some examples, the electric engine 21 further includes a liquid pump 400 , which is disposed on the cooling medium circulation loop and is used to drive the cooling medium to flow in the cooling medium circulation loop.

[0137] In this way, it is easy to drive the cooling medium to flow in the cooling medium circulation loop.

[0138] In some examples, the liquid pump 400 may be fixed to the housing of the power motor 100 . Of course, in other examples, the liquid pump 400 may also be disposed on the liquid supply pipe 500 or the liquid return pipe 600 .

[0139] Exemplarily, the outlet end of the radiator 300 is connected to the inlet end of the liquid pump 400 through the liquid supply pipe 500, and the outlet end of the liquid pump 400 is connected to the inlet end of the liquid cooling channel 110. The liquid cooling channel 110, the return liquid pipe 600, the radiator 300, the liquid supply pipe 500 and the liquid pump 400 are used to form a cooling medium circulation loop.

[0140] Figure 9 A schematic diagram of another electric engine provided in an embodiment of the present application.

[0141] like Figure 9 As shown, in some possible embodiments, at least one of the liquid supply pipe 500 and the liquid return pipe 600 is a rigid pipe, and the radiator 300 is rigidly connected to the housing of the power motor 100 through at least one of the liquid supply pipe 500 and the liquid return pipe 600.

[0142] In this way, the radiator 300 and the housing of the power motor 100 do not need to be fixed with other connecting structures, which is beneficial to the weight reduction and spatial layout of the aircraft. In addition, it can also reduce the obstruction of the air intake of the fan 200, which is beneficial to increase the air intake volume of the fan 200, and further improve the heat dissipation efficiency of the radiator 300.

[0143] Exemplarily, the liquid supply pipe 500 and the liquid return pipe 600 can both be rigid pipes, and the radiator 300 is rigidly connected to the housing of the power motor 100 through the liquid supply pipe 500 and the liquid return pipe 600, so as to achieve a relatively stable rigid connection between the radiator 300 and the housing of the power motor 100.

[0144] Exemplarily, the electric generator 21 may include multiple liquid supply pipes 500 and multiple liquid return pipes 600. The radiator 300 is fixedly connected to the housing of the power motor 100 via the multiple liquid supply pipes 500 and the multiple liquid return pipes 600, so that the radiator 300 is more firmly fixed to the housing of the power motor 100. In this case, the radiator 300 may include multiple outlet ports corresponding one-to-one with the liquid supply pipes 500 and multiple inlet ports corresponding one-to-one with the liquid return pipes 600. Each inlet port of the radiator 300 is connected to the outlet port of the liquid cooling channel 110 via a corresponding liquid return pipe 600, and each outlet port of the radiator 300 is connected to the inlet port of the liquid pump 400 via a corresponding liquid inlet pipe. For example, the electric generator 21 may include two liquid supply pipes 500 and two liquid return pipes 600, and the two liquid supply pipes 500 and the two liquid return pipes 600 are evenly spaced along the circumference of the radiator 300, so that the radiator 300 is fixed more firmly. The liquid supply pipes 500 and the liquid return pipes 600 can be alternately arranged along the circumference of the radiator 300, so that the cooling medium can flow into the radiator 300 from two opposite positions on the radiator 300 and flow out of the radiator 300 from two opposite positions on the radiator 300, which is beneficial to uniform heat dissipation of the radiator 300.

[0145] In some possible embodiments, the electric generator 21 includes a drive motor 700, and the liquid pump 400 includes a pump rotor. A first output end of the drive motor 700 is in driving connection with the pump rotor, and the drive motor 700 is used to drive the pump rotor to rotate, thereby driving the flow of the cooling medium. A second output end of the drive motor 700 is in driving connection with the fan 200.

[0146] In this way, the fan 200 and the liquid pump 400 can be driven by the same drive motor 700. Compared with the fan 200 and the liquid pump 400 being driven by independent drive motors 700 respectively, the number of components set in the electric engine 21 can be reduced, which is beneficial to the weight reduction and space layout of the aircraft.

[0147] In some examples, the drive motor 700 is the pump motor of the liquid pump 400, that is, the liquid pump 400 includes the drive motor 700. The fan 200 is driven by the pump motor of the liquid pump 400. In this case, the liquid pump 400 is fixed to the housing of the power motor 100 so that the fan 200 is connected to the pump motor of the liquid pump 400.

[0148] In this way, the fan 200, the pump rotor and the drive motor 700 are connected more easily, and it is also convenient to set the drive motor 700 on the housing of the power motor 100, and the components of the electric motor 21 are arranged more easily.

[0149] In other possible examples, the fan 200 and the pump rotor of the liquid pump 400 may be driven by different motors. For example, the drive motor 700 is not the pump motor of the liquid pump 400. The fan 200 is driven by the drive motor 700, and the pump rotor of the liquid pump 400 is driven by the pump motor.

[0150] In some possible embodiments, the fan 200 further includes a fan cover 260, which is disposed outside the wind shield 230. The fan cover 260 can be fixedly disposed on the heat sink 300 or the housing of the power motor 100. For example, when the wind shield 230 is fixedly connected to the heat sink 300 or the housing of the power motor 100 via a connecting mechanism, the wind shield 230 can be fixedly connected to the fan cover 260, and the fan cover 260 can be fixedly connected to the heat sink 300 or the housing of the power motor 100 via the connecting mechanism. When the wind shield 230 is fixedly connected to the fan blades 220, the fan cover 260 can be fixedly connected to the heat sink 300 or the housing of the power motor 100 via the connecting mechanism, and the wind shield 230 can rotate relative to the fan cover 260. For example, the fan cover 260 can be fixedly connected to the heat sink 300 via fasteners.

[0151] In other examples, the heat from the power motor 100 can be transferred to the radiator 300 through other methods. For example, the heat from the power motor 100 can be transferred to the radiator 300 through a heat conductor.

[0152] Figure 10 This is a schematic diagram of a heat sink provided by an embodiment of the present application. In the figure, the x direction is a first direction, the y direction is a second direction, and the first direction is perpendicular to the second direction.

[0153] like Figure 10As shown, in some possible embodiments, the radiator 300 may include multiple heat dissipation flat tubes 320. The multiple heat dissipation flat tubes 320 are spaced apart, and an airflow channel is formed between adjacent heat dissipation flat tubes 320. The airflow channel is used to allow air from the outlet side of the fan 200 to pass through the radiator 300 and flow to the side of the radiator 300 away from the fan 200 when the fan 200 is blowing. Both ends of each heat dissipation flat tube 320 are connected to the liquid cooling channel 110 to form a cooling medium circulation loop. The cooling medium flowing into the heat dissipation flat tubes 320 can be dissipated through the heat dissipation flat tubes 320. This facilitates heat dissipation of the cooling medium.

[0154] In some possible embodiments, the radiator 300 further includes a first manifold 310 and a second manifold 330. The first manifold 310 communicates with one end of the plurality of heat-dissipating flat tubes 320, while the second manifold 330 communicates with the other ends of the plurality of heat-dissipating flat tubes 320. The first manifold 310 and the second manifold 330 are in communication with the liquid-cooling channel 110. Thus, the first manifold 310 allows cooling medium to flow into and / or out of the radiator 300, while the second manifold 330 allows cooling medium to flow into and / or out of the radiator 300, facilitating both the flow of cooling medium into and out of the plurality of heat-dissipating flat tubes 320.

[0155] Illustratively, the first manifold 310 and the second manifold 330 are arranged opposite to each other in a first direction, and the first manifold 310 and the second manifold 330 are connected by a plurality of heat dissipation flat tubes 320 arranged therebetween, so as to realize compact connection of various parts of the radiator 300 .

[0156] Illustratively, the plurality of heat dissipation flat tubes 320 are arranged side by side along the second direction, so as to realize a compact arrangement of the plurality of heat dissipation flat tubes 320 .

[0157] Illustratively, the heat dissipation flat tubes 320 are straight tubes extending along the first direction.

[0158] For example, the first manifold 310 and the second manifold 330 are both arc-shaped tubes, with their ends connected to form a ring structure. Each of the heat dissipating flat tubes 320 is located within the ring structure. This allows each portion of the heat dissipating flat tubes 320 to have high heat dissipation efficiency, thereby improving the heat dissipation performance of the radiator 300 while reducing the space occupied by the radiator 300.

[0159] The inner arc surface of the first header 310 is opposite to the inner arc surface of the second header 330 .

[0160] Illustratively, the annular structure formed by connecting the first manifold 310 and the second manifold 330 has openings at both ends in the second direction, which helps to further reduce the size and weight of the radiator 300 .

[0161] Exemplarily, the radiator 300 further includes heat dissipation fins, and two adjacent heat dissipation flat tubes 320 are connected via the heat dissipation fins, so as to improve the heat dissipation efficiency of the radiator 300 .

[0162] In some examples, the inlet of the radiator 300 is located on the first manifold 310, and the outlet of the radiator 300 is located on the second manifold 330. After flowing through the inlet of the radiator 300 into the first manifold 310, the cooling medium flows into the heat dissipation flat tubes 320. Air blown by the fan 200 flows through the heat dissipation flat tubes 320 and the heat dissipation fins. The cooling medium in the heat dissipation flat tubes 320 can dissipate heat through the heat dissipation flat tubes 320 and the heat dissipation fins. After dissipating heat within the heat dissipation flat tubes 320, the cooling medium flows to the second manifold 330 and exits the radiator 300 through the outlet.

[0163] Figure 11 A schematic diagram of another radiator provided in an embodiment of the present application.

[0164] like Figure 11 As shown, in some examples, a first partition plate 311 is provided in the first collecting pipe 310, and the first partition plate 311 divides the first collecting pipe 310 into a first section and a second section, so that the flow of the cooling medium in the first section is not affected by the second section, and the flow of the cooling medium in the second section is not affected by the first section, which is beneficial to improving the reliability of the radiator 300 or extending the heat dissipation path of the cooling medium in the radiator 300.

[0165] In some examples, a second partition plate 331 is provided in the second collecting pipe 330, and the second partition plate 331 divides the second collecting pipe 330 into a third section and a fourth section, so that the flow of the cooling medium in the third section is not affected by the fourth section, and the flow of the cooling medium in the fourth section is not affected by the third section, which is beneficial to improving the reliability of the radiator 300 or extending the heat dissipation path of the cooling medium in the radiator 300.

[0166] In some examples where a first partition plate 311 is provided within the first manifold 310 and a second partition plate 331 is provided within the second manifold 330, one of the first and third sections is provided with a first liquid inlet 341, and the other of the first and third sections is provided with a first liquid outlet 342. A heat dissipation flat tube 320 is provided between the first and third sections, connecting the first and third sections via the heat dissipation flat tube 320 provided therebetween.

[0167] The first and third sections, as well as the heat dissipation flat tubes 320 connecting the first and third sections, form a heat dissipation channel. The first liquid inlet 341 serves as the inlet end of the heat dissipation channel formed by the first and third sections, and the heat dissipation flat tubes 320 connecting the first and third sections. The first liquid outlet 342 serves as the outlet end of the heat dissipation channel formed by the first and third sections, and the heat dissipation flat tubes 320 connecting the first and third sections. Cooling medium flowing out of the outlet end of the liquid-cooling channel 110 can flow into the radiator 300 through the first liquid inlet 341. The cooling medium flowing into the radiator 300 through the first liquid inlet 341 flows through the first and third sections, and the heat dissipation flat tubes 320 connecting the first and third sections. After dissipating heat within the heat dissipation flat tubes 320 connecting the first and third sections, it flows out of the radiator 300 through the first liquid outlet 342.

[0168] One of the second and fourth sections has a second liquid inlet 343, and the other has a second liquid outlet 344. A heat dissipation flat tube 320 is provided between the second and fourth sections, connecting the second and fourth sections via the heat dissipation flat tube 320 provided therebetween.

[0169] The second and fourth sections, as well as the heat dissipation flat tubes 320 connecting the second and fourth sections, form a heat dissipation channel. The second liquid inlet 343 serves as the inlet of the heat dissipation channel formed by the second and fourth sections, and the heat dissipation flat tubes 320 connecting the second and fourth sections. The second liquid outlet 344 serves as the outlet of the heat dissipation channel formed by the second and fourth sections, and the heat dissipation flat tubes 320 connecting the second and fourth sections. Cooling medium flowing out of the outlet of the liquid-cooling channel 110 can flow into the radiator 300 through the second liquid inlet 343. The cooling medium flowing into the radiator 300 through the second liquid inlet 343 flows through the second and fourth sections, and the heat dissipation flat tubes 320 connecting the second and fourth sections. After dissipating heat within the heat dissipation flat tubes 320 connecting the second and fourth sections, it flows out of the radiator 300 through the second liquid outlet 344.

[0170] This facilitates the formation of two independent heat dissipation channels. The cooling medium can be dissipated through at least two independent heat dissipation channels. A failure in one heat dissipation channel does not affect the operation of the other heat dissipation channels. The radiator 300 is less likely to stop dissipating heat, and the reliability of the radiator 300 is high. In addition, the structure of the radiator 300 with two independent heat dissipation channels is more compact.

[0171] The inlet end of the radiator 300 includes a first liquid inlet 341 and a second liquid inlet 343, and the outlet end of the radiator 300 includes a first liquid outlet 342 and a second liquid outlet 344.

The cooling medium flows in the heat dissipation channel formed by the first section, the third section, and the heat dissipation flat tubes 320 connecting the first section and the third section, and the cooling medium flows in the heat dissipation channel formed by the second section, the fourth section, and the heat dissipation flat tubes 320 connecting the second section and the fourth section more evenly.
