AI Technical Summary
In the existing technology, the method of delivering cooling water to the inner cylinder of the rotor through the water inlet pipe cannot effectively achieve heat dissipation inside the electric vehicle motor. This is because the inner cylinder rotates along with the rotor, which prevents the water from being delivered smoothly.
The design employs a combination of liquid-cooled heat exchange plate and cooling fan. The liquid-cooled heat exchange plate transfers heat from inside the motor to the outside, while the cooling fan accelerates airflow to remove heat. At the same time, heat exchange copper plates and S-shaped heat exchange channels are used to exchange heat with the coolant to accelerate heat dissipation.
High-efficiency heat dissipation inside the motor is achieved. The combination of liquid-cooled heat spreader and fan significantly improves heat dissipation efficiency, and the heat exchange between the coolant and the heat exchange copper fins further accelerates the heat dissipation effect of the motor.

Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of electric vehicle motor heat dissipation technology, and in particular relates to an electric vehicle motor heat dissipation device based on a liquid-cooled heat spreader. Background Technology
[0002] Electric vehicles (EVs) are vehicles powered by an onboard power source, driven by an electric motor, and compliant with all road traffic and safety regulations. Due to their relatively smaller environmental impact compared to traditional vehicles, their prospects are widely considered promising. The power source provides electrical energy to the EV's drive motor, which converts this electrical energy into mechanical energy, driving the wheels and working devices via a transmission or directly. During the EV motor's rotation, heat is generated, requiring timely cooling of the motor's internal components. A search revealed patent application number 202222581778.9, which discloses a liquid-cooled heat dissipation device for an EV motor. This device includes an outer cylinder, with a drive box fixedly connected to the top of the outer cylinder. An inner rotor cylinder is located inside the outer cylinder. A water inlet pipe is fixedly connected to the left side of the outer cylinder through an opening, and the right end of the water inlet pipe penetrates the inner rotor cylinder and extends into its interior.
[0003] However, during actual use, the applicant found that the method of supplying cooling water to the inner cylinder of the rotor through the water inlet pipe to dissipate heat from the electric vehicle motor was not feasible because the inner cylinder rotated with the rotor. As a result, the water in the water inlet pipe could not be delivered smoothly to the inner cylinder of the rotor, thus failing to achieve proper heat dissipation inside the electric vehicle motor. In view of this, we propose an electric vehicle motor heat dissipation device based on a liquid-cooled heat spreader. Utility Model Content

Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0025] Please see Figure 1-4 As shown, this utility model provides a technical solution:
[0026] A heat dissipation device for an electric vehicle motor based on a liquid-cooled heat spreader includes a base 1, a motor body 2 fixedly connected to the top of the base 1, a connecting support 21 fixedly installed at the bottom of the motor body 2, a liquid-cooled heat spreader 22 evenly fixedly installed on the outer wall of the motor body 2, a cooling fan 8 fixedly installed on the rear side of the motor body 2 (the cooling fan 8 is existing technology, and its model can be selected according to requirements), and the cooling fan 8 is controlled by an external controller and can rotate together with the rotation of the motor body 2; details are omitted here. A connecting seat 7 is fixedly connected to the rear side of the motor body 2, and the cooling fan 8 is fixedly installed on the connecting seat 7. An arc-shaped cover 3 is fitted over the outside of the motor body 2, and the bottom of the arc-shaped cover 3 is connected to the base. 1. Sliding connection: T-shaped connecting sliders 31 are symmetrically arranged at the bottom of the arc-shaped cover 3. The T-shaped connecting sliders 31 slide in conjunction with the T-shaped connecting grooves 11 opened at the top of the base 1. The front end face of the arc-shaped cover 3 is flush with the front end face of the base 1, and the rear end face of the arc-shaped cover 3 is flush with the rear end face of the base 1. A front sealing plate 5 is fixedly connected to the front side of the arc-shaped cover 3 by screws 4. The rear side wall of the front sealing plate 5 is in contact with the front end face of the motor body 2 housing. A front dustproof net 51 is provided on the front sealing plate 5 on the front side of the liquid cooling heat spreader 22. The front dustproof net 51 is arc-shaped. An avoidance hole 52 for avoiding the output end of the motor body 2 is opened in the middle of the front sealing plate 5. A rear sealing plate 6 is fixedly connected to the rear side of the arc-shaped cover 3 by screws 4. Cooling fan A rear dustproof net 61 is provided on the rear sealing plate 6 on the rear side of the motor body 2. The rear dustproof net 61 is circular. By setting a liquid-cooled heat dissipation plate 22 on the outer wall of the motor body 2, the heat inside the motor body 2 can be conducted to the outside of the motor body 2. By driving the cooling fan 8 to rotate, the air flow on the surface of the liquid-cooled heat dissipation plate 22 can be accelerated, and the heat on the liquid-cooled heat dissipation plate 22 can be carried away, thereby accelerating the heat dissipation inside the motor body 2. The front dustproof net 51 and the rear dustproof net 61 can reduce the amount of dust entering the interior of the arc-shaped cover 3 with the flowing air. The base 1 is symmetrically fixed with mounting feet 12 on both sides. During use, when the motor body 2 rotates, the cooling fan 8 is simultaneously powered on and rotated. The heat generated inside the motor body 2 can be conducted to the outside of the motor body 2 through the liquid cooling heat spreader 22. The rotation of the cooling fan 8 can drive the external air from the front dust filter 51 into the arc-shaped cover 3 and out from the rear dust filter 61. During this process, the rapidly flowing air inside the arc-shaped cover 3 can carry away the heat on the surface of the liquid cooling heat spreader 22, thereby accelerating the heat dissipation inside the motor body 2. The front dust filter 51 and the rear dust filter 61 can reduce the amount of dust entering the interior of the arc-shaped cover 3 with the air. After a period of time, the front cover plate 5, the arc-shaped cover 3 and the rear cover plate 6 can be removed by unscrewing the screw 4, and the dust on the front dust filter 51, the rear dust filter 61 and the liquid cooling heat spreader 22 can be cleaned.
[0027] The lower part of the connecting support 21 is embedded and fixed in the base 1. Heat exchange copper plates 23 are staggered and fixedly arranged on the inner wall of the connecting support 21. The inner side wall of the connecting support 21 and several heat exchange copper plates 23 together form an S-shaped heat exchange channel 24. The top of the heat exchange copper plates 23 is fixedly mounted on the motor body 2. An inlet branch pipe 13 and an outlet branch pipe 14 are fixedly arranged on both sides of the base 1. One end of the inlet branch pipe 13 and the outlet branch pipe 14 are connected to the interior of the connecting support 21. One end of the inlet branch pipe 13 is connected to the inlet end of the S-shaped heat exchange channel 24, and one end of the outlet branch pipe 14 is connected to the outlet end of the S-shaped heat exchange channel 24. The other ends of the inlet branch pipe 13 and the outlet branch pipe 14 are connected to an external coolant circulation device, enabling the supply of coolant to the interior of the connecting support 21 through the heat exchange copper plates 23. The system can conduct heat downwards from the motor body 2, and simultaneously deliver coolant to the connecting support 21 through the inlet branch pipe 13, allowing the coolant to exchange heat with the heat exchange copper fins 23, thus cooling the copper fins 23 and further accelerating the heat dissipation efficiency of the motor body 2. Furthermore, the S-shaped heat exchange channel 24 extends the flow path of the coolant in the connecting support 21, allowing the coolant to fully exchange heat with the heat exchange copper fins 23, further improving the heat dissipation effect on the motor body 2. The heat generated during the rotation of the motor body 2 can also be conducted downwards through the heat exchange copper fins 23 to the connecting support 21, where it can exchange heat with the coolant flowing in the S-shaped heat exchange channel 24, cooling the copper fins 23 and further accelerating the heat dissipation efficiency of the motor body 2.
[0028] Working principle: During use, as the motor body 2 rotates, the cooling fan 8 is simultaneously energized and rotates. The heat generated inside the motor body 2 is conducted to the outside of the motor body 2 through the liquid-cooled heat spreader 22. The rotation of the cooling fan 8 draws external air from the front dust filter 51 into the arc-shaped cover 3 and out through the rear dust filter 61. During this process, the rapidly flowing air inside the arc-shaped cover 3 carries away heat from the surface of the liquid-cooled heat spreader 22, thereby accelerating the heat dissipation from the inside of the motor body 2 through the front dust filter 51 and the rear dust filter 61. This reduces the amount of dust entering the interior of the arc-shaped cover 3 with the air. After a period of time, the front cover 5, the arc-shaped cover 3, and the rear cover 6 can be removed by unscrewing the screws 4. The dust on the front dust filter 51, the rear dust filter 61, and the liquid-cooled heat exchange plate 22 can be cleaned. The heat generated during the rotation of the motor body 2 can be conducted downwards to the connecting support 21 through the heat exchange copper plate 23, and can exchange heat with the coolant flowing in the S-shaped heat exchange channel 24 to cool the heat exchange copper plate 23, thereby further accelerating the heat dissipation efficiency of the motor body 2.
