[0023] The following specific examples illustrate the implementation of this utility model. Those skilled in the art can easily understand other advantages and effects of this utility model from the content disclosed in this specification. This utility model can also be implemented or applied through other different specific embodiments, and various details in this specification can also be modified or changed based on different viewpoints and applications without departing from the spirit of this utility model. It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the following embodiments and features described therein can be combined with each other.

[0024] It should be noted that the illustrations provided in the following embodiments are only schematic representations of the basic concept of the present invention. Therefore, the drawings only show the components related to the present invention and are not drawn according to the number, shape and size of the components in actual implementation. In actual implementation, the form, quantity and proportion of each component can be arbitrarily changed, and the layout of the components may also be more complex.

[0025] In this embodiment of the invention, all directional indicators (such as up, down, left, right, front, back, horizontal, vertical, etc.) are only used to explain the relative positional relationship and movement of each component in a specific posture. If the specific posture changes, the directional indicator will also change accordingly.

[0026] Due to installation errors and other reasons, the parallel relationship referred to in the embodiments of this utility model may actually be an approximate parallel relationship, and the perpendicular relationship may actually be an approximate perpendicular relationship.

[0027] This utility model provides a brushless direct-drive angle grinder, as described in the reference. Figure 1 It includes the head 1, handle 2, left housing 31 and right housing 32.

[0028] The handle 2 is for the user to grip. The handle 2 includes two ends. The head 1 is fixedly connected to one end of the handle 2. A motor is installed inside the head 1.

[0029] The left housing 31 and the right housing 32 are fixedly connected to each other, forming an internal cavity for accommodating the control circuit. After the left housing 31 and the right housing 32 are connected, they are further fixedly connected to the other end of the handle 2.

[0030] The head 1 and handle 2 can be fixed together by screws. The head 1 has a motor cavity 13 for accommodating the motor. (Refer to...) Figure 3 The inner peripheral wall of the motor cavity 13 is preferably in the form of a circular hole, which is used to form a tight fit with the outer periphery of the stator 51 of the motor. That is, the inner peripheral wall of the motor cavity 13 forms the outer wall of the motor, providing excellent heat conduction from the motor to the motor head 1.

[0031] Reference Figure 4The motor also includes a rotor 52, which passes through the center of the stator 51. The rotor 52 includes a motor shaft, on which a magnet sleeve is fixedly fitted. Multiple magnets 521 are fixedly installed on the magnet sleeve. The multiple magnets 521 are exposed on the outer periphery of the rotor 52. The magnets 521 are arranged in a circular array around the motor shaft. In this embodiment, preferably, the number of magnets 521 is set to six, so as to form a six-level magnet 521 in the circumferential direction of the rotor 52. By exposing the magnets 521, the gap between them and the inner periphery of the stator 51 is reduced, so as to reasonably enhance the torque formed by the rotor 52 and the stator 51. The middle of the rotor 52 is the motor shaft. One axial end of the motor shaft passes through the outside of the head 1 and is provided with external or internal threads for connecting with the tool head of the angle grinder. The tool head of the angle grinder includes cutting discs, grinding discs, flap wheels, wire wheels, etc.

[0032] Reference Figure 5 The stator 51 is composed of multiple laminations 511 spliced ​​together. The laminations 511 have an I-shaped structure. Each lamination 511 has an independent winding in the middle. The multiple laminations 511 are distributed along a ring array to form a ring stator 51 structure. Each lamination 511 has a retaining strip and a retaining groove at its front and rear ends in the circumferential direction, which are used to form a retaining engagement with the adjacent laminations 511 to ensure accurate positioning between each lamination 511 and a stable structure when the stator 51 is assembled.

[0033] One end of the stator 51 along the axial direction is also provided with a circuit board 512 and a protective sleeve. The circuit board 512 has a ring structure and is distributed along the outer periphery of the stator 51. Each winding on the lamination 511 has an externally led pin, so that the pin of each winding is electrically connected to the circuit board 512. Thus, all the windings of the stator 51 are connected through the circuit board 512. The protective sleeve is fitted on the circuit board 512 to form protection.

[0034] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 The outer periphery of the head 1 forms a front wall 11 and a rear wall 12. The rear wall 12 faces the handle 2. The handle 2 has a channel. One end of the channel forms a connecting opening facing the rear wall 12, while the other end away from the head 1 is provided with a fan 4. When the fan 4 is working, it generates airflow. The airflow flows through the channel and blows directly onto the rear wall 12 to dissipate heat from the rear wall 12.

[0035] Air outlets 14 are provided on the left and right sides of the head unit 1, and the air outlets 14 are connected to the rear wall 12 of the head unit. The fan 4 blows air directly onto the rear wall 12 of the head unit, and the airflow is further blown outward along the air outlets 14.

[0036] Furthermore, the other end of the channel can also be configured to communicate with the internal cavity formed by the left housing 31 and the right housing 32. An air inlet is provided on the left housing 31 or the right housing 32 so that the airflow can enter the internal cavity through the air inlet and then enter the channel, and simultaneously dissipate heat from the control circuit. The fan 4 can also be installed inside the internal cavity.

[0037] Obviously, the described embodiments are only some, not all, of the embodiments of this utility model. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of this utility model without inventive effort should fall within the protection scope of this utility model.
