Mechanical energy is converted from electrical energy by generating magnetic field between the stator 6 and the rotor yoke 9. When running, the rotor yoke 9 rotates, copper loss, iron loss and eddy current loss, etc. will be generated, and the loss is finally converted into heat. The higher the power of the motor, the higher the temperature rise, and the motor needs to be cooled to reduce the temperature to affect the stator and the rotor permanent magnet.

[0005] In the prior art, the axial permanent magnet motor adopts external auxiliary cooling air cooling method or external circulation cooling water channel method. As shown in Figure 1 , an external fan 1 is used to forcibly blow cold air into the motor interior for heat dissipation. This method installs the fan on the shaft of the motor, which not only increases the axial length H of the motor, but also increases the additional fan loss and reduces the efficiency of the motor. As shown in Figure 2 , the cooling water channel 2 needs to be constructed in the shell, and the cooling circulation system 3 provides circulating liquid for the cooling water channel 2. This method not only increases the cost of the motor, but also increases the cost of regular maintenance and replacement of cooling liquid, and has complex process, low efficiency and high cost.

[0010] The airflow air duct is communicated with the inside of the rotor by being provided with a radial through hole on the rotating shaft.

[0011] The air fins are distributed on the outside of the rotor.

[0021] The utility model axial permanent magnet motor circulation air cooling structure, see Figure 3 and Figure 4 , specifically is the exhaust hole 4 that sets up on the shell 11. The air flow channel 7 is set up in the rotating shaft 5, and the outer end of the air flow channel 7 is communicated with the atmosphere, and the inner end of the air flow channel 7 is provided with the radial through hole 12, and its position is between the upper and lower rotor yoke 9, so that the external airflow can enter the rotor interior. The air fin 10 is set up on the rotor yoke 9, and the air fin 10 is distributed on the outside of the rotor yoke 9, and the air fin 10 can be various shapes that can produce air volume, not limited to strip shape, including various curve shapes. The air fin 10 is not limited to the convex structure, and can include the air groove (concave structure) on the rotor yoke 8. Through the air fin 10 on the rotor yoke 9, the rotating airflow is formed in the motor interior, the wind speed is improved, and the speed of heat dissipation is accelerated. Figure 3 The arrow in the figure represents the airflow direction. The shape of the air flow channel 7 can be a round hole, a square hole, a triangular hole or other special-shaped hole.

[0022] The core of the structure is that the effective import of airflow is effectively flowed through the surface of the stator 6 and the rotor yoke 9 through the air fin 10 distributed on the rotor yoke 9, the heat generated by the stator and the rotor is taken out of the body, and the cooling of the axial permanent magnet motor has good effect.

[0023] In addition, the air fin 10 is added on the rotor yoke 8, the mechanical strength of the rotor yoke 8 is also enhanced, the consistency of the air gap is ensured, the consistency of the air gap magnetic distribution and the motor efficiency are improved, and the material removal position during dynamic balancing is increased.

[0024] The air volume (cooling air volume) Q generated by the air fin 10 is calculated according to the following process.

[0025] Q = V * A; wherein: Q is the air volume, V is the air speed, and A is the air duct cross-sectional area.

[0026] The heat dissipation amount is calculated by the formula: P = a (Ti - To) F; wherein: P is the heat dissipation amount, unit: w; Ti is the surface temperature of the heat dissipation surface, ℃; To is the external environment temperature, ℃; F is the area of the heat dissipation surface, m 2 ; and a is the comprehensive heat exchange coefficient, w / (℃×m 2 ).

[0027] The weight of air is the product of density and volume, and the volume of air is calculated by CMM or CFM (i.e. air volume), so the weight of air W = Q / 60*1185 (Q takes CMM), which is the weight of air per second. After substituting into the above formula and conditions and further simplifying, the following formula can be obtained:

[0028] Q = 1.8 * P / △Tc; wherein: Q is the air volume, P is the heat dissipation amount, and △Tc = Ti - To is the temperature difference.

[0029] In the case that other parameters of the motor are unchanged, the air volume Q is increased by the air fin 10 on the rotor yoke 9, the heat dissipation capacity is increased, and the heat dissipation efficiency is improved.

[0030] The above axial permanent magnet motor circulating air cooling structure, through the organic combination of the motor rotor yoke 8 and the air fin 10, utilizes the rotational kinetic energy of the motor rotor yoke 9. According to aerodynamics, when the rotor yoke 9 rotates, the air fin 10 thereon rotates to generate air pressure, forming air pressure flow, generating negative pressure at the inner end of the airflow duct 7, so that the outside air flows into the airflow duct 7 from the outside. The cold airflow enters the air gap composed of the stator 6 and the rotor yoke 9 through the airflow duct 7, forming two airflows flowing along the surface of the stator 6 and the surface of the rotor yoke 8 respectively, and exchanging heat. The airflow reaches the maximum outer diameter of the rotor yoke 8 and then returns to the back surface of the rotor yoke 8, forms a rotating airflow, and then continues to flow to the exhaust hole 4 on the outer shell 11, and finally the hot air is discharged from the exhaust hole 4, releasing the heat in the motor to the outside, forming a circulating airflow path, achieving the function of rapidly exchanging heat between the heat in the motor and the cold air outside, achieving the purpose of naturally cooling the heat in the motor, ensuring the normal operation of the motor, and solving the problem that the structure of the axial permanent magnet motor is not easy to dissipate heat.

[0031] Through testing, the surface temperature of the motor with this structure is about 15℃ lower than that of the motor without this structure.
