Detailed Implementation

[0021] The following are specific embodiments of the present invention, which are described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. However, the present invention is not limited to these embodiments.

[0022] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, in the motor cooling structure, the motor includes a heat-conducting cylinder 1 and a motor barrel 2 arranged coaxially. The heat-conducting cylinder 1 is made of a thermally conductive material, preferably aluminum alloy. In actual products, the motor stator core 3 is fixed inside the heat-conducting cylinder 1, and the two are typically tightly fitted together. The motor barrel 2 is fitted outside the heat-conducting cylinder 1, and the two are fixedly connected.

[0023] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the motor cooling structure includes a spiral groove 1a disposed on the outer surface of the heat-conducting cylinder 1, and the length of the spiral groove 1a extends axially along the heat-conducting cylinder 1. Figure 1 As shown, the barrel 2 has an inlet 2a and an outlet at both ends, and the inlet 2a and outlet are connected to both ends of the spiral groove 1a. A tubular inlet connector 4 is fixed inside the inlet 2a; a conical guide 5 is fixed on the bottom wall of the spiral groove 1a, and the guide 5 and the inlet connector 4 are coaxially arranged; the diameter of the guide 5 gradually increases from the inlet 2a towards the spiral groove 1a, and one end of the guide 5 extends into the inlet connector 4.

[0024] The conical guide fluid 5 extends into the liquid inlet connector 4, which can guide the cooling water to enter the spiral groove 1a more smoothly, reduce the turbulence and eddies of the water flow at the inlet of the spiral groove 1a, thereby improving the water flow introduction efficiency and improving the cooling effect of this cooling structure.

[0025] In this embodiment,

[0026] As Figure 3 shown, the liquid inlet connector 4 is structured as follows: the liquid inlet connector 4 comprises a straight pipe-shaped body 4a, and the body 4a and the flow guide 5 are coaxially arranged. The body 4a is composed of a liquid inlet section 4a1 and a liquid outlet section 4a2 which are continuously distributed along the axis of the body 4a, and the liquid inlet section and the liquid outlet section 4a2 are both straight pipe bodies, and the liquid outlet section 4a2 is inserted and fixed at the liquid inlet 2a away from the liquid inlet section 4a1. Further explanation, an annular groove is formed on the outer wall of the liquid outlet section 4a2, the annular groove is coaxially arranged with the liquid outlet section 4a2, and a sealing ring 6 is arranged in the annular groove, and the outer side surface of the sealing ring 6 is in contact with the inner wall of the liquid inlet 2a to form a reliable and stable seal between the liquid outlet section 4a2 and the inner wall of the liquid inlet 2a.

[0027] As Figure 2 and Figure 3 shown, the inner diameter of the liquid inlet section 4a1 is smaller than that of the liquid outlet section 4a2, and one end of the flow guide 5 extends into the liquid outlet section 4a2. The body 4a is divided into the liquid outlet section 4a2 with a larger inner diameter and the liquid inlet section 4a1 with a smaller inner diameter, and the flow guide 5 extends into the liquid outlet section 4a2, which can effectively avoid the blockage of the liquid outlet of the liquid inlet connector 4, further accelerate the efficiency of the cooling water introduction, and make the cooling effect of the cooling structure better.

[0028] The installation method of the liquid inlet connector 4 is as follows: positioning blocks 4b are formed on the outer walls of both sides of the liquid inlet section 4a1, the positioning blocks 4b are pressed on the barrel 2, and both positioning blocks 4b are fixed to the barrel 2 by screws.

[0029] As Figure 3 shown, the installation method of the flow guide 5 is as follows: a positioning column 5a is formed on the bottom surface of the flow guide 5, the positioning column 5a and the flow guide 5 are coaxially arranged and are an integral structure. A positioning groove with the same shape and size as the positioning column 5a is formed on the bottom surface of the spiral groove 1a, and the positioning column 5a is inserted into the positioning groove. The flow guide 5 is positioned by being inserted into the positioning groove through the positioning column 5a, so that the installation can be completed by simply pressing the flow guide 5 during assembly, effectively facilitating the assembly.

[0030] Further explanation, a tapered guide surface 5b is formed on the outer side surface of the end of the positioning column 5a away from the flow guide 5, which is used for guiding the insertion of the positioning column 5a, further facilitating the installation of the flow guide 5.

[0031] The connection between the heat-conducting cylinder 1 and the barrel 2 is as follows: the shape and size of the outer wall of the heat-conducting cylinder 1 match the inner wall of the barrel 2, and the heat-conducting cylinder 1 and the barrel 2 are fixed together by an interference fit. Further, an annular positioning seat 2b is formed on the inner wall of one end of the barrel 2. The positioning seat 2b is coaxially arranged with the barrel 2, and one end of the heat-conducting cylinder 1 presses against the positioning seat 2b. An annular limiting seat 1b is formed on the outer wall of the other end of the heat-conducting cylinder 1. The limiting seat 1b is coaxially arranged with the heat-conducting cylinder 1, and presses against the other end of the barrel 2. The positioning seat 2b and the limiting seat 1b, in cooperation, limit the relative position of the barrel 2 and the heat-conducting cylinder 1, facilitating assembly.

[0032] In actual products, such as Figure 3 As shown, the positioning post 5a has an axially arranged weight-reducing hole 5c. One end of the weight-reducing hole 5c extends to the fluid guide 5, and the other end extends to the end face of the positioning post 5a away from the fluid guide 5. The design of the weight-reducing hole 5c can simultaneously reduce the weight of the fluid guide 5 and the material input.
