TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The utility model relates to water -cooled motor technical field, concretely is a hexagonal water -cooled motor. BACKGROUND
[0002] The motor generates heat in the running process, and the heat mainly comes from winding resistance loss, core loss, mechanical loss and environmental temperature. These factors will cause the motor temperature to rise during long-term operation of the motor, thereby reducing the motor performance, reducing the motor life, and increasing the equipment failure rate. Therefore, the motor needs to have a heat dissipation function to take away the excess heat.
[0003] The conventional cooling method is air cooling, which is to install a cooling fan at the tail end of the motor rotor. The fan runs synchronously or independently with the motor, and the fan blows the motor shell to dissipate heat, ensuring that the motor runs stably and for a long time in a suitable working temperature range. The cooling principle of the air-cooled motor determines that it can only use the air in the space where the motor is located to cool the motor. Therefore, the air dust in the space where the motor is located, the size of the space, the environmental temperature, etc. have a great influence on the cooling effect of the motor. If the dust is too much, the motor cooling fan and the shell will be covered with dust, which is not conducive to heat dissipation. If the space where the motor is located is small, the temperature of the air circulated by the motor fan will rise, resulting in poor heat dissipation effect of the motor. If the ambient temperature of the motor is high, the temperature of the air that the motor fan can use is high, and the heat dissipation effect of the motor is poor. High temperature is of great importance to the performance and life of the motor.
[0004] To cope with the above-mentioned unsuitable scene of air-cooled motor, the existing technology produces water-cooled motor. The water-cooled motor is a kind of motor cooled by water circulation system, which has the characteristics of high efficiency, high energy efficiency, small size, low noise and small environmental impact. Water-cooled motor is widely used in many fields, including numerical control machine tool, petroleum chemical industry, semiconductor, liquid crystal panel, photovoltaic industry, new energy automobile, shipbuilding, etc. Its characteristics make it occupy an important position in high-end manufacturing equipment, and can improve the technical level and competitiveness of the whole industry. The cooling principle of water-cooled motor is to take away the heat of motor shell through water cavity or coil, cooling plate and other structures in contact with motor shell, which can control the running temperature of motor and ensure that the motor runs stably and for a long time in a small range of suitable working temperature. Compared with air-cooled structure, water-cooled motor has the characteristics of good cooling effect, controllable temperature, no environmental influence, small overall length of motor, small vibration and noise of water-cooled motor at high speed, good sealing of motor, etc. At present, the conventional water-cooled motor cooling structure mainly has the following four types, which have certain defects in implementation.
[0005] Type one, process water cavity with interlayer in motor shell. The disadvantage of this method is that the material cost of motor shell is high, the casting difficulty is large, and the scale in water cavity is difficult to clean;
[0006] Type two, welding outside water cavity on the outer cylinder of the motor shell, its disadvantage is that the material of the motor shell and the outside water cavity is required to be high, the thin plate is difficult to be welded in the production, and the water scale in the water cavity cannot be cleaned;
[0007] Type three, embedding cooling coil in the inside of the cast motor shell, the disadvantage of this way is that the low pressure casting mold is expensive, the processing equipment is expensive, the processing cost is high, the water scale generated in the coil cannot be cleaned, the coil interface is easy to be damaged and cannot be repaired, etc.
[0008] Type four, sticking water cooling plate on the outer surface of the motor shell, its disadvantage is that the water cooling plate processing precision is required to be high, the motor shell surface processing cost is high, the water cooling plate and the motor shell cannot be perfectly combined, there are problems such as relatively low air thermal resistance heat conduction efficiency.

A water guide groove is formed on the side of the cooling plate close to the motor shell. The water guide groove is used to connect the adjacent two slanting water holes.
[0012] Preferably, a water guide strip is arranged on the side of the cooling plate close to the motor shell. The water guide strip divides the water guide groove into a C-shaped structure. The slanting water hole is arranged at the position close to the one end of the motor shell. The two ends of the water guide groove are respectively communicated with the one end of the adjacent two slanting water holes.
[0013] Further, the cooling plate and the motor shell are connected through a screw. A first sealing ring is arranged between the cooling plate and the motor shell. The water guide groove is located in the first sealing ring.
[0014] Further, the two slanting water holes are respectively communicated with an inlet joint and an outlet joint in the side of the motor shell without the cooling plate.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0027] The technical scheme of the utility model will be described in further detail below in combination with the drawings, but the protection scope of the utility model is not limited to the following.
[0028] As Figures 1 to 4 shown, a hexagonal water-cooled motor includes a motor shell 1 and five cooling plates 2, the cross section of the motor shell 1 is regular hexagonal, the oblique water hole 3 is processed in the hexagonal position of a cross section in the motor shell 1, and the two ends of the oblique water hole 3 are communicated with the outside of the adjacent two sides of the motor shell 1 respectively. The five cooling plates 2 are detachably installed outside the five sides of the motor shell 1 respectively, and the water guide groove 4 is processed on the side of the cooling plate 2 close to the motor shell 1, which is used for connecting the adjacent two oblique water holes 3. Thus, the oblique water holes 3 and the water guide grooves 4 are connected to form an overall flow channel, and the cooling water is injected into one of the two oblique water hole orifices in the side of the motor shell without the cooling plate, and the cooling water is discharged from the other orifice after flowing through the overall flow channel.

Compared with conventional water-cooled motor structures, the hexagonal water-cooled motor can maintain and replace cooling parts, improve the repair rate of motor cooling parts damaged at the site of use, and reduce motor maintenance costs.

Each of the aforementioned oblique water holes 3 is located near one end of the motor housing, and the two ends of the C-shaped water channel 4 are connected to one end of two adjacent oblique water holes 3. In practice, the water channel 4 can be directly milled along a C-shaped trajectory, and the water guide bar 5 is directly formed after the machining is completed, making the manufacturing process convenient.
[0031] Furthermore, the cooling plate 2 is connected to the motor housing 1 by screws. A first sealing ring 6 is provided between the cooling plate 2 and the motor housing 1.

The installation process of the cooling plate 2 is extremely convenient.
[0032] Furthermore, on the side of the motor housing 1 where the cooling plate 2 is not installed, two oblique water holes 3 are respectively connected to a water inlet joint 7 and a water outlet joint 8 to facilitate connection with external water supply and return pipes.
