AI Technical Summary
External rotor motors have difficulty dissipating heat, especially when water circulation is set up in a confined space, which leads to increased motor weight and low heat dissipation efficiency, affecting the overall vehicle performance.
Design a stator assembly for an external rotor motor. An S-shaped refrigerant flow channel is arranged on the outer ring, combined with an arc-shaped heat dissipation groove and an annular pressure cap to achieve a semi-open structure, which facilitates coolant flow. The weight is also reduced by the heat dissipation groove and sealing design on the outer ring of the bracket.
It improves heat dissipation efficiency, reduces motor weight, lowers vehicle energy consumption, and is easy to maintain, making it suitable for industrial mass production.
