[0024] Please refer to Figs. 1-3 The utility model discloses a liquid hydrogen cooling motor casing structure including casing body 7, first outer baffle 5 and second outer baffle 6, wherein:

[0025] Casing body 7 outer wall is provided with two flow channel grooves, and a plurality of flow channel baffles 11 radially distributed along casing body 7 are arranged in the flow channel grooves, the plurality of flow channel baffles 11 interval the bent flow channel of flow channel groove, and first outer baffle 5 and second outer baffle 6 are arranged on the outer wall of casing body 7, and first outer baffle 5, second outer baffle 6 are fixedly connected with both sides of casing body 7 respectively.

[0026] In the embodiment:

[0027] Flow channel baffle 11 is used for spacing the arcuate flow channel of flow channel groove;

[0028] Flow channel is used for liquid hydrogen heat exchange;

[0029] In specific embodiments, casing body 7 is in the form of a cylinder, and two flow channel grooves are arranged on the outer side of casing body 7, the flow channel baffles 11 in the flow channel grooves divide the flow channel grooves into an arcuate flow channel, liquid hydrogen enters the two arcuate flow channels of casing body 7 through first outer baffle 5 and second outer baffle 6 and cools the motor structure in casing body 7, by integrating the heat dissipation structure on casing body 7, casing body 7 can directly serve as the casing of the motor to dissipate heat for the motor structure inside, without the need to introduce additional cooling structure, and the problem of failure of the winding due to excessively low temperature caused by direct contact of liquid hydrogen with the winding inside the motor can be avoided.

[0030] In one embodiment, the number of flow channel grooves on the casing body 7 can be selected according to actual conditions, and can be three or four. The number of baffles is the same as the number of flow channel grooves, and only one flow channel is arranged in each flow channel groove. Liquid hydrogen enters from one end of the flow channel and exchanges heat, and finally changes into hydrogen gas and flows out from the other end. The shape of the flow channel can also be selected according to actual conditions.

[0031] Further, the two ends of the first outer baffle 5 are sequentially provided with the first hydrogen gas outlet pipe 2 and the first liquid hydrogen inlet pipe 1, and the two ends of the second outer baffle 6 are sequentially provided with the second liquid hydrogen inlet pipe 3 and the second hydrogen gas outlet pipe 4. The liquid hydrogen in the flow channels of the two flow channel grooves flows in the same direction, that is, counterclockwise or clockwise along the outside of the casing body 7.

[0032] In the present embodiment:

[0033] The first hydrogen gas outlet pipe 2 and the second hydrogen gas outlet pipe 4 are used to discharge hydrogen gas.

[0034] The first liquid hydrogen inlet pipe 1 and the second liquid hydrogen inlet pipe 3 are used to introduce liquid hydrogen.

[0035] In a specific embodiment, the first outer baffle 5 and the second outer baffle 6 are both circular arc-shaped, and the structures of the first outer baffle 5 and the second outer baffle 6 are the same. The first outer baffle 5 and the second outer baffle 6 are both arranged and fixed on the outside of the casing body 7, with the liquid hydrogen inlet pipe on the left side and the hydrogen gas outlet pipe on the right side. Liquid hydrogen flows into the first liquid hydrogen inlet and the second liquid hydrogen inlet for heat exchange and vaporization into hydrogen gas, and flows out from the first hydrogen gas outlet and the second hydrogen gas outlet. The liquid hydrogen in the two flow channel grooves flows clockwise or counterclockwise around the outside of the casing body 7, and cools the casing body 7.

[0037] In a specific embodiment, the flow channel baffles 11 near the liquid hydrogen inlet side in the flow channel groove are more dense than the flow channel baffles 11 near the hydrogen gas outlet side, so that the width of the arc-shaped flow channel gradually increases. After the liquid hydrogen is heat-exchanged and vaporized into hydrogen gas, the volume expands, which may cause the working medium to block the flow channel. The gradually increasing flow channel can avoid the differential pressure from blocking the working medium from entering, and also reduces the flow rate of the expanded hydrogen gas, ensuring safety.

[0038] Further, the heat exchange fins 10 are further included, and a plurality of heat exchange fins 10 are arranged between adjacent flow channel baffles 11; the plurality of heat exchange fins 10 are located between the flow channel baffles 11 close to the first hydrogen outlet pipe 2 and the second hydrogen outlet pipe 4 in the flow channel groove.

[0039] In the embodiment,

[0041] In the specific embodiment, the liquid hydrogen is converted into hydrogen gas after heat exchange in the flow channel, and the heat exchange fins 10 can strengthen the heat exchange area between the hydrogen gas and the casing body 7, thereby improving the cooling efficiency.

[0042] Further, the casing body 7 is further provided with a first end cover interface 8 and a second end cover interface 9 on two sides respectively.

[0043] In the specific embodiment, the first end cover interface 8 and the second end cover interface 9 are used for connecting other structures in cooperation with the casing body 7.

[0044] Of course, the utility model can also have other various embodiments, and other embodiments obtained by the ordinary skilled in the art based on the embodiment without any creative labor all belong to the range protected by the utility model.
