[0003] External rotor motors have a wide range of applications, including fans, pumps, centrifuges, and some power tools. In these applications, external rotor motors are widely used because of their excellent heat dissipation performance and low noise. For example, in industrial and domestic environments, external rotor motors are used in air conditioning and ventilation systems, providing high-efficiency and low-noise operation.

[0004] In existing technical solutions, the external rotor motor operates at a high temperature during long-term operation, thus requiring heat dissipation. The common method of heat dissipation is to cool the motor from the outside. However, external heat dissipation components not only affect the weight and shape of the motor, but also have low heat dissipation efficiency and cannot stabilize the internal temperature of the motor.

[0034] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0035] Please see Figures 1 to 4 The present invention provides a technical solution:

[0036] An external rotor motor heat dissipation structure includes a motor housing 1, a motor flange 11 fixedly connected to the front end of the motor housing 1, a first bearing 2 fixedly connected to the front end of the inner part of the motor housing 1, a motor stator 3 fixedly connected to the inner part of the motor housing 1, a stator heat sink 4 fixedly connected to the rear end of the motor stator 3, a second bearing 21 fixedly connected to the front and rear of the motor stator 3, a third bearing 22 fixedly connected between the stator heat sink 4 and the motor shaft 31, the first bearing 2, the second bearing 21 and the third bearing 22 being internally fixedly connected to the motor shaft 31, a motor rotor 32 fixedly connected to the outside of the motor shaft 31, rotor blades 321 fixedly connected to the front end of the motor rotor 32, and strip magnetic blocks 34 fixedly connected to the inner wall of the rotor housing 33. The number of strip magnetic blocks 34 and heat dissipation blades 331 are both multiple.

[0037] By adopting the above technical solution, when the motor needs to work, it is powered on by connecting the motor. The wires are connected to the motor rotor 32 through the second positioning groove 62 inside the motor filter 6. When current flows through the wires inside the motor stator 3, a magnetic field is generated around it. This magnetic field can interact with the multiple bar magnets 34 inside the motor rotor 32, thereby generating a force. This force will cause the motor rotor 32 to rotate. The rotation of the motor rotor 32 causes the motor shaft 31 between the second bearing 21 and the third bearing 22 to rotate within the first bearing 2 inside the motor flange 11. As the motor rotor 32 rotates continuously, it also causes the rotor blades 321 at the front end to rotate. The continuous rotation of the rotor blades 321 will agitate the air flow inside the motor housing 1, causing the gas to flow axially through the heat dissipation holes 332, thereby carrying away the heat generated by the rotation of the motor rotor 32, thus improving the heat dissipation effect of the motor and increasing the efficiency of the motor heat dissipation structure.

[0038] Specifically, such as Figure 4 As shown, a rotor housing 33 is fixedly connected to the outside of the motor rotor 32, and heat dissipation blades 331 are fixedly connected to the outside of the rotor housing 33. A heat dissipation hole 332 is opened at the front end of the rotor housing 33. There are multiple heat dissipation blades 331 and heat dissipation holes 332, and all the multiple heat dissipation blades 331 are inclined in the same direction.

[0039] By adopting the above technical solution, during the operation of the motor, the rotor 32 rotates along with the external rotor housing 33, and the rotor housing 33 rotates along with the external heat dissipation blades 331. As the heat dissipation blades 331 rotate continuously, gas is generated and flows along the outside of the heat dissipation blades 331, thereby optimizing the airflow direction. At the same time, the rotor housing 33 and the rotor blades 321 form a directional air duct, allowing air to be discharged from the stator heat dissipation plate 4, providing all-round heat dissipation for the motor shaft 31 and the motor rotor 32.

[0040] Specifically, such as Figure 4 As shown, the stator heat sink 4 is externally fixedly connected with heat dissipation ribs 41 and heat dissipation blocks 42. The heat dissipation blocks 42 are externally provided with a first positioning groove 43. The front end of the stator heat sink 4 is fixedly connected with an extended hollow shaft 44. There are multiple heat dissipation ribs 41, heat dissipation blocks 42 and first positioning grooves 43. The stator heat sink 4 is slidably attached to the inside of the motor housing 1. The connecting block 51 is slidably attached to the inside of the first positioning groove 43. The motor shaft 31 is slidably attached to the inside of the extended hollow shaft 44.

[0041] By adopting the above technical solution, during the operation of the motor, as the motor shaft 31 rotates continuously, the heat generated by the rotation is transferred to the stator heat sink 4 through the extended hollow shaft 44, and then dissipated through the heat dissipation fins 41 and the heat sink 42. When it is necessary to install or remove the motor rear cover 5, the connecting block 51 is slid into the first positioning groove 43 to ensure the cleanliness of the motor housing 1 and reduce the air intake resistance. At the same time, filter cotton can be installed in the filter screen to prevent dust and hair from entering. The motor rear cover 5 is tightly fitted to the stator heat sink 4 and fixed with screws, which enhances the heat dissipation effect.

[0042] Specifically, such as Figure 4 As shown, a motor rear cover 5 is fixedly connected to the rear end of the motor housing 1, a connecting block 51 is fixedly connected to the front end of the motor rear cover 5, a fixing block 52 is fixedly connected to the rear end of the motor rear cover 5, an installation hole 53 is provided inside the motor rear cover 5, a filter screen hole 54 is provided outside the motor rear cover 5, a motor filter 6 is movably connected to the rear end of the motor rear cover 5, a mesh plate 61 and a second positioning groove 62 are provided outside the motor filter 6, the mesh plate 61 is located above the second positioning groove 62, and a switch positioning hole 63 is provided outside the motor filter 6, and the number of switch positioning holes 63 is multiple.

[0043] By adopting the above technical solution, when the motor is working, the motor shaft 31 rotates, causing the motor rotor 32 and the external rotor housing 33 to rotate together. As the rotor housing 33 rotates, the external heat dissipation blades 331 also rotate, thereby stirring the gas inside the motor housing 1 for heat dissipation. The dissipated gas is discharged along the heat dissipation blades 331 and then dissipates heat through the filter mesh 54 inside the motor rear cover 5. The motor filter 6 is positioned and installed by the fixing block 52, the mounting hole 53, the filter mesh 54 and the mesh plate 61. Finally, the filter is filtered through the switch positioning hole 63 on the outside of the motor filter 6. This allows the adjacent heat dissipation fins 41 and the inner wall of the motor housing 1 to form a vertical air duct, increasing the airflow and further improving the heat dissipation efficiency.

[0044] Working principle: When the motor needs to work, it is powered on by connecting the motor. The wires are connected to the motor rotor 32 through the second positioning groove 62 inside the motor filter 6. When current flows through the wires inside the motor stator 3, a magnetic field is generated around it. This magnetic field interacts with the multiple bar magnets 34 inside the motor rotor 32, thereby generating a force. This force causes the motor rotor 32 to rotate. The rotation of the motor rotor 32 drives the motor shaft 31 to rotate within the first bearing 2 inside the motor flange 11. As the motor rotor 32 rotates continuously, it also drives the rotor blades 321 at the front end to rotate. The continuous rotation of the rotor blades 321 stirs the motor. The airflow inside the motor housing 1 causes gas to flow axially through the heat dissipation holes 332, thereby carrying away the heat generated by the rotation of the motor rotor 32 and improving the motor's heat dissipation effect. During motor operation, the rotation of the motor rotor 32 causes the external rotor housing 33 to rotate together, and the rotation of the rotor housing 33 causes the external heat dissipation blades 331 to rotate. As the heat dissipation blades 331 rotate continuously, gas flows along the outside of the heat dissipation blades 331, optimizing the airflow direction. At the same time, the rotor housing 33 and the rotor blades 321 form a directional airflow channel, allowing air to be discharged from the stator heat sink 4, thus providing heat for the motor. The motor shaft 31 and motor rotor 32 provide all-around heat dissipation. As the motor shaft 31 rotates continuously, the heat generated by the rotation is transferred to the stator heat sink 4 through the extended hollow shaft 44, and then dissipated through the heat dissipation fins 41 and heat sink 42. When it is necessary to install or remove the motor rear cover 5, the connecting block 51 is slid into the first positioning groove 43 to ensure the cleanliness of the motor housing 1 and reduce the air intake resistance. At the same time, filter cotton can be installed in the filter screen to prevent dust and hair from entering. The motor rear cover 5 fits tightly with the stator heat sink 4 and is fixed with screws, which enhances the heat dissipation effect. The rotation of the motor shaft 31 carries... The motor rotor 32 and the external rotor housing 33 rotate together. As the rotor housing 33 rotates, the external heat dissipation blades 331 also rotate, thereby stirring the gas inside the motor housing 1 to dissipate heat. The dissipated gas is discharged along the heat dissipation blades 331 and then dissipates heat through the filter mesh 54 inside the motor rear cover 5. The motor filter 6 is positioned and installed through the mounting hole 53, the filter mesh 54 and the mesh plate 61. Finally, the filter is filtered through the switch positioning hole 63 on the outside of the motor filter 6. This allows the adjacent heat dissipation fins 41 and the inner wall of the motor housing 1 to form a vertical air duct, increasing the airflow and further improving the heat dissipation efficiency.
