Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of agricultural tillage machinery, in particular to a micro-tillage machine with good heat dissipation performance and a power generation function. Background Art

[0002] Mini-tillers are agricultural tillage machines powered by small diesel or gasoline engines, characterized by their light weight, compact size, and simple structure. They are widely used in drylands, paddy fields, and orchards across plains, mountainous areas, and hilly regions. Currently, mini-tillers are used only for plowing and cultivating fields. After spring plowing, they are essentially idle for extended periods, hindering their application. In rural areas, especially during power outages and when power is needed for field operations, the need for power generation equipment, such as for electrical equipment and electric vehicle charging, becomes increasingly important. However, purchasing a separate generator is costly and requires extensive maintenance. Utility Model Content

[0003] The technical problem to be solved by the utility model is to provide a micro-tillage machine with a simple structure, reasonable design, stable use, good heat dissipation effect and power generation function in response to the deficiencies in the existing technical solutions.

[0004] In order to achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the technical solution of the present utility model is as follows:

[0005] A micro-tillage machine with a power generation function is characterized in that it includes a frame, an engine, a generator, an inverter, a cooling fan and a voltage regulator; the engine is obliquely arranged on the frame, the engine includes a cylinder and a crankcase, the crankcase is arranged at the lower end of the cylinder, the crankcase includes a crankshaft, and the crankshaft includes a front shaft and a rear end shaft; the generator is arranged at the front end of the crankcase, and the cooling fan is arranged at the front end of the generator; the generator includes a stator component arranged in the middle and a rotor component arranged on the periphery of the stator component, the front end shaft of the crankshaft passes through the center of the stator component and is fixedly connected to the center of the rotor component, the cooling fan is fixedly arranged on the rotor component and is coaxially arranged with the rotor component and the front end shaft; the cylinder and inverter are respectively arranged on the left and right sides of the cooling fan, so that the cooling fan can dissipate heat for the cylinder, inverter and generator at the same time.

[0006] By tilting the engine and placing the engine cylinders and inverter on either side of the cooling fan, the cooling fan generates rotating air when the engine is running. Part of the airflow cools the crankcase and cylinders, while another part cools the inverter and voltage regulator, ensuring optimal functioning of all components. A single cooling fan simultaneously cools the engine, inverter, and voltage regulator, eliminating the need for two fans to cool the engine and motor separately in traditional generators and simplifying the structure. Furthermore, the micro-tiller can serve two purposes, reducing costs. The micro-tiller is lightweight, energy-efficient, and self-propelled, making it flexible and convenient to use.

[0007] Furthermore, the generator further includes a connecting disk, which is fixed on the crankcase. The stator component is fixed on the connecting disk and consists of twelve groups of windings. The rotor component is covered on the stator component.

[0008] The stator component is provided with twelve windings to increase the power generation capacity. The stator component is easily fixed by providing a connecting plate.

[0009] Furthermore, the cooling fan is composed of a starting cup and a plurality of fan blades, the starting cup is fixedly set on the rotor component, and the plurality of fan blades are evenly arranged in a circle around the starting cup; a fan cover is provided on the cooling fan, and a plurality of air vents are provided around the fan cover; the starting cup passes through the fan cover, and a starting assembly for starting the engine is provided on the starting cup.

[0010] The front end of the crankshaft connects to the starting assembly for starting the engine, while the rear end serves as the power output shaft. Ventilation holes allow the cooling fan to dissipate heat from the engine and inverter on both sides, while also dissipating heat from the generator. The structure is simple and rational.

[0011] Furthermore, a bracket is provided on one side of the cooling fan, and the inverter and voltage regulator are arranged on the bracket; the vent on one side of the cooling fan is opposite to the inverter and voltage regulator, and the cylinder is arranged on the other side of the cooling fan opposite to the inverter.

[0012] The bracket makes it easy to install the inverter and voltage regulator on the bracket and also allows for easy removal. When using the tiller for farming alone, the inverter and voltage regulator can be removed. When using the tiller for power generation, the inverter and voltage regulator can be directly installed. This flexible and compact design allows for dual use.

[0013] Furthermore, the output terminal of the generator is electrically connected to an inverter, the inverter is electrically connected to a voltage regulator, and the voltage regulator is electrically connected to a battery or an electrical appliance.

[0014] When the engine starts running, the stator and rotor components generate a magnetic field, and the coils inside the stator generate voltage and current, which are transmitted to the inverter to be converted into usable voltage and current to stabilize them; finally, the voltage and current are output through the voltage regulator and can be connected to the battery or electrical appliances for use.

[0015] Furthermore, the inverter is provided with heat dissipation fins, which are directly opposite to one side of the heat dissipation fan. The heat dissipation fins provided on the inverter can better dissipate heat for the inverter and the voltage regulator, ensuring the stability of the inverter and having a simple and reasonable structure.

[0016] The micro-tillage machine with power generation function of the utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0017] 1. Advantages of variable frequency motor: light weight, low energy consumption, and very stable voltage waveform.

[0018] 2. Utilize the power part of the micro tiller to add a power generation device, which is small in size, light in weight and has a reasonable structure.

[0019] 3. An independent cooling system cools the engine crankcase, cylinders, generator, inverter, and voltage regulator according to engine operation, ensuring long service life. This inverter can be widely used for powering various household appliances and charging electric vehicles. Its variable frequency power generation function offers advantages such as stable frequency, high power, and stable operation. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0027] Generator 3 includes a centrally located stator component 31, a rotor component 32 disposed around stator component 31, and a connecting plate 33.

Cooling fan 5 is provided with a fan cover 53, which is surrounded by a plurality of ventilation holes. Starting cup 51 passes through fan cover 53 and is provided with a starting assembly 7 for starting engine 2. The front end shaft 23 of the crankshaft is connected to the starting assembly 7 for starting the engine 2, and the rear end shaft 24 of the crankshaft is the power output shaft; the front end shaft 23 of the crankshaft passes through the center of the stator component 31 and is fixedly connected to the center of the rotor component 32, and the cooling fan 5 is fixedly set on the rotor component 32 and is coaxially arranged with the rotor component 32 and the front end shaft 23.
