Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of DC brushless rotor technology, specifically a DC brushless rotor heat dissipation mechanism. Background Technology
[0002] Because the rotor of a brushless DC motor is enclosed inside the stator, heat dissipation is difficult. Traditional methods rely on heat dissipation through the outer casing or indirect heat conduction within the stator, which is inefficient. Especially in high-speed and high-power scenarios, the rotor permanent magnets are prone to demagnetization due to high temperatures, leading to a decline in performance.
[0003] According to the utility model patent with Chinese patent application number 202321676363.8, a high-strength external rotor brushless DC motor is affected by external impacts during use, which can affect the normal operation and strength of the motor. However, this high-strength external rotor brushless DC motor does not have an efficient heat dissipation function for the rotor, which can significantly affect the service life of the rotor under long-term high-speed rotation. Therefore, it is necessary to propose a DC brushless rotor heat dissipation mechanism to solve the above-mentioned problems. Utility Model Content

[0005] To achieve the above-mentioned goal of efficient heat dissipation for the rotor, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a DC brushless rotor heat dissipation mechanism, including a rotor body, a balance shaft sleeved inside the rotor body, a stator winding sleeved around the rotor body, a stator core disposed outside the stator winding, heat sinks disposed outside the stator core, a water-cooling heat dissipation structure disposed inside the balance shaft and the stator core, a cooling fan movably installed on the rear door of the rotor body, and a ventilation opening on the outside of the stator core;
[0006] The water-cooled heat dissipation structure includes a spiral groove. A spiral groove is formed on the inner wall of the balance shaft. A first spiral conveying pipe is arranged inside the spiral groove. A second spiral conveying pipe is connected to the end of the first spiral conveying pipe. A plug is inserted into the starting end of the first spiral conveying pipe.
[0007] Furthermore, a bearing is provided on the outside of the balance shaft, the balance shaft has a hollow structure, and the first spiral conveying pipe is disposed inside the balance shaft.

[0011] Furthermore, the height of the heat sink is 1 / 20 to 1 / 30 of the outer diameter of the rotor body 1, and the spacing between the heat sinks is 1.5 to 3 times the height.
[0012] Compared with the prior art, the technical solution of this application has the following beneficial effects:
[0013] This DC brushless rotor cooling mechanism, through the water-cooling structure 7, allows for the introduction of cooling water into the first spiral conveying pipe 703 and the second spiral conveying pipe 704 by opening the blocking head 701 during use. The first spiral conveying pipe 703 is located inside the positioning iron core 5 and can absorb the heat generated by the high-speed rotation of the rotor body 1. Furthermore, the two ends of the first spiral conveying pipe 703 are the input and output of cooling water, respectively, which can circulate the water and thus better dissipate the heat generated by the operation of the rotor body 1.
[0014] This DC brushless rotor cooling mechanism features heat sinks 6 and through holes 8, with internal axial ventilation ports 8 evenly distributed around the circumference of the rotor body 1 to form an airflow channel. When the rotor body 1 rotates, it pushes the airflow through the ventilation ports 8 to dissipate the heat generated by the high-speed rotation of the stator windings 4 and the rotor body 1.

[0020] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0021] Please see Figure 1-4 A DC brushless rotor heat dissipation mechanism in this embodiment includes a rotor body 1, a balance shaft 2 sleeved inside the rotor body 1, a stator winding 4 sleeved around the rotor body 1, a stator core 5 disposed outside the stator winding 4, a heat sink 6 disposed outside the stator core 5, a water cooling structure 7 disposed inside the balance shaft 2 and the stator core 5, a cooling fan 12 movably installed on the rear side door of the rotor body 1, and a ventilation opening 8 opened on the outside of the stator core 5.
[0022] The water-cooled heat dissipation structure 7 includes a spiral groove 702. The spiral groove 702 is provided on the inner wall of the balance shaft 2. A first spiral conveying pipe 703 is provided inside the spiral groove 702. A second spiral conveying pipe 704 is connected to the end of the first spiral conveying pipe 703. A plug head 701 is inserted into the starting end of the first spiral conveying pipe 703.
[0023] In the implementation of the case, by setting up a water-cooled heat dissipation structure 7, when in use, by opening the blocking head 701, cooling water is introduced into the interior of the first spiral conveying pipe 703 and the second spiral conveying pipe 704. The first spiral conveying pipe 703 is set inside the positioning iron core 5, which can absorb the heat generated by the high-speed rotation of the rotor body 1. The two ends of the first spiral conveying pipe 703 are the input and output of cooling water, which can circulate the water and make the heat generated by the operation of the rotor body 1 better dissipated.
[0024] In the implementation of the case, by setting heat sink 6 and through hole 8, and providing axial ventilation 8 inside, the ventilation 8 is evenly distributed along the circumference of rotor body 1 to form an airflow channel. When rotor body 1 rotates, it will push the airflow at the ventilation 8 to dissipate the heat generated by the high-speed rotation of stator winding 4 and rotor body 1. At the same time, by setting coating 9, which is a ceramic coating, the heat radiation heat dissipation of stator core 5 can be enhanced. A cooling fan 12 is set on one side of rotor body 1, which can drive the external airflow into the interior of the balance walkway 2 for heat dissipation.
[0025] In the implementation of the case, by providing thermal grease 11 at the connection between permanent magnets 10, the permanent magnets 10 can be quickly cooled; by providing thermal adhesive in the inner groove where the permanent magnets 10 are installed, and by covering the outside of the permanent magnets 10 with a copper foil layer, the heat is conducted to the stator core 5 through the copper foil for further heat dissipation.
[0026] When implementing this procedure, please follow these steps:
[0027] 1) First, the rotor body 1 is driven to rotate by the action of the permanent magnet 10, the stator core 5 and the heat sink 6;
[0028] 2) Then, the rotation of the rotor body 1 will drive the hot air out of the vent 8;
[0029] 3) The heat generated by the rotation of the rotor body 1 is then absorbed by the water-cooled heat dissipation structure 7;
[0030] 4) Finally, the heat is further absorbed by the heat sink 6.
[0031] In summary, this DC brushless rotor cooling mechanism, by setting up a water-cooling structure 7, allows for the introduction of cooling water into the first spiral conveying pipe 703 and the second spiral conveying pipe 704 by opening the blocking head 701 during use. The first spiral conveying pipe 703 is located inside the positioning iron core 5 and can absorb the heat generated by the high-speed rotation of the rotor body 1. Furthermore, the two ends of the first spiral conveying pipe 703 are the input and output of cooling water, respectively, which can circulate the water and thus better dissipate the heat generated by the operation of the rotor body 1.
[0032] Furthermore, by setting heat sink 6 and through hole 8, an axial ventilation port 8 is provided inside. The ventilation port 8 is evenly distributed along the circumference of the rotor body 1 to form an airflow channel. When the rotor body 1 rotates, it will push the airflow at the ventilation port 8 to dissipate the heat generated by the high-speed rotation of the stator winding 4 and the rotor body 1. At the same time, by setting a coating 9, which is a ceramic coating, the heat radiation heat dissipation of the stator core 5 can be enhanced. A cooling fan 12 is set on one side of the rotor body 1, which can drive the external airflow into the interior of the balance walkway 2 for heat dissipation.
