DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0025] With reference to the drawings of the embodiments of the present application, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present application, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative labor fall within the scope of the present application.

[0026] In the description of the present application, it should be understood that the terms "longitudinal", "transverse", "upper", "lower", "front", "rear", "left", "right", "vertical", "horizontal", "top", "bottom", "inner", "outer" and the like indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the drawings, and are only for the convenience of describing the present application and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a particular orientation, be constructed and operated in a particular orientation, and therefore cannot be understood as a limitation on the present application. In addition, the features defined as "first" and "second" can explicitly or implicitly include one or more of the features, which are used to distinguish the described features and have no order or importance.

[0027] In the description of the present application, it should be noted that unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "mounting", "connecting", "connection" should be understood broadly, for example, it can be fixed connection, or detachable connection, or integral connection; it can be mechanical connection, or electrical connection; it can be directly connected, or indirectly connected through an intermediate medium, or the communication between two elements. For those skilled in the art, the specific meaning of the above terms in the present application can be understood according to the specific circumstances.

[0028] The technical solutions of the present application will be further described below in combination with the specific embodiments. Figures 2-5 The technical solutions of the present application will be further described below in combination with the specific embodiments.

[0029] In one preferred embodiment of the present application, an external braking resistor servo driver, the servo driver comprises: a servo drive circuit board 1, a heat dissipation bracket 2 and a braking resistor 3, wherein: the heat dissipation bracket 2 is fixed on the servo drive circuit board 1, the braking resistor 3 is fixed on the heat dissipation bracket 2, and the braking resistor 3 is electrically connected with the servo drive circuit board 1.

[0030] Specifically, when the servo motor needs to brake or decelerate, the braking resistor 3 is connected to the circuit to operate. At this time, the energy of the servo motor is consumed through the braking resistor 3, converted into heat energy. If heat is not dissipated in time, its temperature will rise, affecting the performance and lifespan of the resistor. Compared with the prior art where the braking resistor 3 is directly fixed to the drive circuit board 1, this technical solution uses a heat sink bracket 2 fixed to the servo drive circuit board 1, and then the braking resistor 3 fixed to the heat sink bracket 2. In this embodiment, the heat sink bracket 2 provides heat dissipation for the entire servo drive: the heat generated by the servo drive circuit board 1 during operation is transferred from the servo drive circuit board 1 to the heat sink bracket 2 through thermal conduction, while also providing a heat dissipation channel for the braking resistor 3. The heat sink bracket 2 quickly dissipates the heat generated by the servo drive circuit board 1 and the braking resistor 3 into the air. Furthermore, integrating the braking resistor 3 and the heat sink bracket 2 onto the servo drive circuit board 1 saves space, allowing the servo drive to have a more compact structural layout. This technical solution solves the problem of the braking resistor's temperature rising too quickly and its low heat dissipation efficiency, even causing the servo drive casing to scorch.

[0031] In an optional embodiment, the heat dissipation bracket 2 includes a heat dissipation body 21 and a plurality of heat dissipation fins 22 disposed on the heat dissipation body 21 and a first mounting groove 23. The height of the first mounting groove 23 is lower than the height of the heat dissipation fins 22. The bottom of the heat dissipation body 21 is fixed on the servo drive circuit board 1, and the braking resistor 3 is mounted in the first mounting groove 23.

[0032] Specifically, there is a height difference between the first mounting groove 23 and the heat dissipation fins 22. This height difference allows the braking resistor 3 to fit tightly into the first mounting groove 23 of the heat dissipation fins 22, forming a more direct heat conduction path and improving heat dissipation efficiency. The braking resistor 3 is cleverly embedded in the low-lying area of ​​the heat dissipation fins 22, avoiding additional space occupation. Furthermore, the braking resistor 3 can easily slide into or out of the first mounting groove 23 without a complex disassembly process, which greatly reduces maintenance costs and difficulty. Moreover, the bottom of the heat dissipation body 21 is fixed to the servo drive circuit board 1. The heat generated by the servo drive circuit board 1 is transferred to the heat dissipation body 21 through heat conduction, and then the heat dissipation body 21 dissipates the heat into the air.

[0033] In an optional embodiment, the heat dissipation body 21 is provided with a wire slot 210, and the braking resistor 3 and the servo drive circuit board 1 are connected by an electrical connection line 6. One end of the electrical connection line 6 is connected to the braking resistor 3, and the electrical connection line 6 is locked in the wire slot 210 and connected to the servo drive circuit board 1 through the other end.

[0034] Specifically, the electrical connection cable 6 can be orderly fixed to the heat dissipation body 21 through the cable clamping groove 210, which avoids the electrical connection cable 6 being arranged haphazardly in the space. At the same time, since the electrical connection cable 6 is clamped in the cable clamping groove 210, it can prevent the electrical connection cable 6 from being pulled at will, thereby affecting the electrical performance and reducing the risk of the electrical connection cable 6 falling off from both ends.

[0035] In an optional embodiment, a resistor bracket 5 is provided on the braking resistor 3, the braking resistor 3 is located inside the resistor bracket 5, and a connection hole 51 is provided on the edge of the resistor bracket 5. The resistor bracket 5 is fixed to the heat dissipation body 21 by screws passing through the connection hole 51.

[0036] Specifically, the braking resistor 3 can be fixedly installed on the resistor bracket 5 by means of clips, welding, or bonding. The fixing of the resistor bracket 5 ensures that the braking resistor 3 is stably fixed to the heat dissipation bracket 2, preventing it from falling off and causing a reduction in electrical performance. For example, in harsh environments such as vibration or impact, the resistor bracket 3 is fixed to the heat dissipation body 21 with screws, making it less prone to loosening or falling off, thus ensuring the stability and reliability of the entire system.

[0037] In an optional embodiment, the plurality of heat dissipation fins 22 are arranged in parallel at intervals on the heat dissipation body 21.

[0038] Specifically, the heat dissipation fins 22 greatly increase the heat dissipation area, allowing heat to be transferred from the heat dissipation body 21 to the surrounding environment more quickly and effectively. Simultaneously, the parallel spacing of the heat dissipation fins 22 ensures that heat is evenly distributed on the heat dissipation body 21 and conducts rapidly along the fin direction, helping to reduce thermal resistance, improve heat conduction efficiency, and allow heat to dissipate from the heat dissipation fins 22 more quickly.

[0039] In an optional embodiment, the heat dissipation bracket 2 is provided with a second mounting groove 24 and a heat sink 4, the height of the second mounting groove 24 is lower than the height of the heat dissipation fins 22, and the heat sink 4 is mounted in the second mounting groove 24.

[0040] Specifically, the design of the second mounting slot 24 allows the heat sink 4 to be tightly installed in the middle area of ​​the heat dissipation fins 22, and this close contact facilitates rapid heat transfer. Simultaneously, the heat sink 4, as an additional heat dissipation element, can further absorb and disperse the heat generated by the braking resistor 3, thereby improving the overall heat dissipation performance. Furthermore, the design of the second mounting slot 24 provides greater flexibility to the heat dissipation device. Depending on different heat load requirements, heat sinks 4 of different specifications and materials can be selected for installation to meet various heat dissipation needs.

[0041] In an alternative embodiment, the heat sink 4 is a fan.

[0042] Specifically, the fan, as an active heat dissipation element, generates a powerful airflow, accelerating air movement and thus carrying away heat from the heat sink 2. This forced convection cooling method is more efficient than natural convection cooling, significantly reducing the temperature of the entire heat sink 2 and improving overall heat dissipation efficiency.

[0043] In an optional embodiment, the heat dissipation bracket 2 further includes a plurality of threaded holes 25, and the heat sink 4 is provided with a plurality of through holes 41, each of the through holes 41 being vertically and vertically aligned with the corresponding threaded hole 25.

[0044] Specifically, through the engagement of the threaded hole 25 and the through hole 41, the radiator 4 can be easily connected to the heat dissipation bracket 2 using bolts or other threaded fasteners. This installation method not only simplifies the installation process but also improves installation efficiency and reduces installation costs. Threaded connection is a reliable connection method; the threaded connection between the radiator 4 and the heat dissipation bracket 2 is stable and secure, able to withstand external vibrations and impacts, ensuring the long-term stable operation of the radiator 4.

[0045] In an optional embodiment, the heat dissipation bracket 2 further includes a plurality of support columns 26, which are evenly spaced between the heat dissipation bracket 3 and the servo drive circuit board 1.

[0046] Specifically, the evenly spaced support columns 26 make the installation of the heat sink 2 on the servo drive circuit board 1 more stable. This design helps reduce loosening and damage caused by vibration or impact, improving the structural stability of the entire servo drive. Simultaneously, the gaps formed between the support columns 26, the heat sink 2, and the servo drive circuit board 1 facilitate airflow, enhancing natural convection cooling and thus more effectively removing the heat generated by the servo drive circuit board 1.

[0047] In an optional embodiment, the heat dissipation body 21 and the heat dissipation fins 22 are made of aluminum alloy.

[0048] Specifically, aluminum alloy has excellent thermal conductivity and a high thermal conductivity coefficient. This means that the heat generated by the servo drive circuit board 1 can be transferred to the heat sink 21 more quickly. The heat sink bracket 2 then transfers the heat to the heat sink fins 22. Simultaneously, the braking resistor 3 is mounted on the heat sink fins 22, and heat is transferred from the braking resistor 3 to the heat sink fins 22. The heat is then dissipated into the air through the heat sink fins 22. This efficient heat conduction significantly improves heat dissipation efficiency, helps reduce the temperature of the braking resistor 3, and ensures stable operation of the equipment.

[0049] The embodiments of this utility model have been described in detail above. Specific examples have been used to illustrate the principles and implementation methods of this utility model. The description of the above embodiments is only for the purpose of helping to understand the method and core ideas of this utility model. At the same time, for those skilled in the art, there will be changes in the specific implementation methods and application scope based on the ideas of this utility model. Therefore, the content of this specification should not be construed as a limitation of this utility model.
