[0025] Referring to Figures 1 to 3The embodiment provides a motor controller air-cooled heat dissipation structure, which comprises a whole machine 1, a motor controller 2 arranged in the whole machine 1, and a whole machine fan 3 arranged beside the motor controller 2. The whole machine fan 3 can suck the external cold air of the whole machine 1 into the inside of the whole machine 1, and blow the cold air to the surface of the motor controller 2 to dissipate heat. The motor controller 2 comprises a motor controller body 201, heat dissipation fins 202 and a motor controller fan 203. The motor controller body 201 is in contact with the heat dissipation fins 202 to conduct heat. The motor controller fan 203 is arranged at one end of the heat dissipation fins 202, and the motor controller fan 203 can blow the cold air into one end of the heat dissipation fins 202 and blow the cold air out from the other end to exchange heat. Effects: (1) The motor controller is arranged in the inside of the whole machine, the whole machine fan is arranged beside the motor controller, the whole machine fan can suck the external cold air of the whole machine into the inside of the whole machine, and the whole machine fan can blow the cold air to the surface of the motor controller to dissipate heat. Thus, the external cold air can be sucked into the motor controller by the whole machine fan to dissipate heat. (2) The motor controller comprises a motor controller body and heat dissipation fins, and a motor controller fan. The motor controller body is in contact with the heat dissipation fins to conduct heat. The motor controller fan is arranged at one end of the heat dissipation fins, and the motor controller fan can blow the cold air into one end of the heat dissipation fins and blow the cold air out from the other end to exchange heat. Thus, the cold air can be blown out from one end of the heat dissipation fins to the other end by the motor controller fan on the heat dissipation fins to exchange heat, and finally forced air cooling and heat dissipation are realized. According to the analysis, the motor controller surface can be directly and quickly cooled by the cooperation of the whole machine fan, the motor controller fan and the heat dissipation fins. Therefore, the heat dissipation effect is greatly improved, and the motor controller can work for a long time in high temperature in summer. Compared with the common heat dissipation mode (namely, a heat dissipation hole is formed on the covering part of the excavator, a heat dissipation fan in the excavator is used to realize air flow circulation, and the MCU is cooled), the heat dissipation of the utility model is efficient, and therefore the covering part does not need to be punched in a large number. Cost: The motor controller fan and the heat dissipation fins are added on the MCU, the cost is relatively low compared with punching the covering part, and the cost is reduced. Performance: The motor controller surface is directly cooled, and the heat dissipation effect is much better than that of the covering part.

[0026] Specifically, the motor controller fan 203 is arranged at the top end of the heat dissipation fin 202, and the motor controller fan 203 can blow the cold air out from the heat dissipation fin 202 from top to bottom to exchange heat. Effect: In this way, the hot air formed after heat exchange can flow from top to bottom.

[0027] Specifically, an air outlet channel 101 is arranged below the heat dissipation fin 202, the air outlet channel 101 passes through the bottom of the whole machine 1 downwards, and the cold air of the heat dissipation fin 202 can be blown out from the bottom of the whole machine 1 after heat exchange. Effect: The flow field of the motor controller heat dissipation in the whole machine is as shown in the figure. Figure 1As shown, the whole machine fan will suck the external cold air into the motor controller surface to dissipate heat, and the motor controller fan on the heat dissipation fin will blow the cold air from top to bottom to exchange heat, and finally blow out from the bottom of the whole machine, so as to combine the heat dissipation flow field (i.e. the air outlet channel 101) of the whole machine to export the motor controller temperature.

[0028] Specifically, the number of motor controller fans 203 is several, and the several motor controller fans 203 are sequentially arranged at the top end of the heat dissipation fin 202 in the horizontal direction, and the several motor controller fans 203 are connected in series, and one of the motor controller fans 203 is connected with the fan power supply port 204. Action: The several fans are connected in series, so as to blow the heat dissipation fin 202 from top to bottom together.

[0029] Specifically, the number of motor controller fans 203 is three, and the three motor controller fans 203 are sequentially arranged at the top end of the heat dissipation fin 202 in the left-right direction, and the power of the motor controller fan 203 is 18W±1W. Action: The number of fans is 3, and the power is 18W, which can enhance the effect of forced air cooling heat dissipation.

[0030] Specifically, the connection between the motor controller body 201 and the heat dissipation fin 202 is coated with heat dissipation silicone grease 205. Action: By coating the heat dissipation silicone grease at the connection between the heat dissipation fin and the motor controller body, the contact heat transfer efficiency is greatly improved, and of course other heat-conducting materials with the same function can also be used.

[0031] Specifically, a plurality of heat dissipation fins 202 are arranged at the front end of the motor controller body 201, and the heat dissipation fins 202 are parallel to the axial direction of the motor controller fan 203. Action: In this way, the wind can flow more easily.

[0032] Specifically, the whole machine fan 3 is arranged at the rear of the motor controller body 201. Action: In this way, the cold air blown out by the whole machine fan 3 can first cover the motor controller body 201 forward, and then flow from top to bottom under the power of the motor controller fan 203.

[0033] Specifically, the whole machine fan 3 is connected with the air suction channel 102, and the air suction channel 102 is arranged on the side wall of the whole machine 1. Action: Under the cooperation of the whole machine fan 3 and the air suction channel 102, the cold air can quickly enter the inside of the whole machine.

[0034] The utility model also provides an engineering machinery, including engineering machinery body, still include any one of preceding technical scheme's motor controller air cooling heat dissipation structure, motor controller air cooling heat dissipation structure sets up on engineering machinery body. The range of application of motor controller air cooling heat dissipation structure: electric excavator, electric forklift, high-altitude platform, electric loader and other engineering machinery.

[0035] The difference between the technical solution and the prior art is that: 1, the heat dissipation technology of the motor controller of the existing micro electric excavator mainly includes covering piece opening, so that the external air and the air in the motor compartment flow, and then the motor controller is cooled (a large number of openings are required for the covering piece); while in the technical solution, the motor controller body is provided with heat dissipation fins, the connection part between the heat dissipation fins and the motor controller body is coated with heat dissipation silicone grease, the top of the heat dissipation fins is provided with motor controller fans, the number of the motor controller fans is three, the power is 18W, the motor controller fans are connected in series, and forced air cooling is performed (a large number of openings are not required for the covering piece due to fast heat dissipation).

[0036] 2, in order to prevent the MCU from over-temperature, the MCU power selection of the prior art is relatively large, the power of the MCU is increased, so that the MCU is not easy to over-temperature, but the utility model does not need to select the MCU with large power, and the small-power motor can be directly used in the air cooling mode.

[0037] In summary, the utility model solves the problem of over-temperature of the motor controller during summer work, and solves the problem of a large number of openings of the covering piece, which leads to the decrease of the protection level of the whole vehicle.

[0038] The above is the preferred embodiment of the utility model, and it should be pointed out that for ordinary skilled persons in the technical field, some improvements and decorations can be made without departing from the principle of the utility model, and these improvements and decorations are also regarded as the protection range of the utility model.
