Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of permanent magnet motor technology, and in particular to a liquid-cooled permanent magnet motor. Background Technology

[0002] A permanent magnet motor is a synchronous motor that uses permanent magnets to generate a magnetic field. The rotor speed is synchronized with the current frequency of the stator windings. A permanent magnet motor typically consists of a stator, rotor, and end covers, and uses an air-cooled structure for heat dissipation. For example, patent CN221380725U discloses an intelligent air-cooled permanent magnet synchronous motor with a fan mounting base at the top of the stator assembly. An external cooling fan motor is mounted on top of the fan mounting base; to facilitate heat dissipation, fan blades are installed at the output end of the external cooling fan motor, and a fan cover is installed on top of the fan blades.

[0003] While this air-cooled heat dissipation structure can solve the motor's heat dissipation problem, it has at least the following two issues:

[0004] First, air-cooled heat dissipation requires ventilation openings that connect to the outside (such as heat dissipation holes on the fan cover) to ensure heat dissipation effect. However, this also brings problems of dust and water resistance. External dust or moisture can easily enter the motor through the ventilation openings, causing problems such as motor contamination, corrosion or short circuits.

[0005] Second, air-cooled heat dissipation requires additional structures such as fan mounting brackets, fans, and fan covers, which not only increases the overall size of the motor and limits its application scenarios, but also increases the structural complexity of the motor, the failure rate, and the later maintenance costs.

[0006] In conclusion, the existing heat dissipation structure of air-cooled permanent magnet motors needs improvement. Utility Model Content

[0025] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments.

[0026] It should be noted that all directional indicators (such as up, down, left, right, front, back, etc.) in this utility model embodiment are only used to explain the relative positional relationship and movement of each component in a certain specific posture (as shown in the figure).

Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model based on the specific circumstances.

[0028] like Figure 1-2 As shown, the liquid-cooled permanent magnet motor in this embodiment includes a housing 1, a stator 2, a rotor 3, and an end cover 4. The stator 2 is mounted on the inner wall of the housing 1 by a positioning component, the rotor 3 is rotatably mounted in the axial direction of the stator 1, and the end cover 4 is detachably mounted at the rear opening of the housing 1.

[0029] like Figure 3 As shown, the housing 1 has a cooling cavity 5 inside, and the cooling cavity 5 covers the outside of the stator 2. The outer wall of the housing 1 above the cooling cavity 5 has a liquid inlet 6 and a liquid outlet 7 on both sides, respectively. The liquid inlet 6 and the liquid outlet 7 are respectively connected to the two ends of the cooling cavity 5.

[0030] Coolant can be injected into the cooling chamber 5 by pressure (e.g., a circulating pump) through the inlet 6. After the cooling chamber 5 is full, the coolant flows out from the outlet 7 and is injected back into the cooling chamber 5 after heat exchange, thus realizing the circulation of coolant. The heat generated by the motor during operation is conducted to the cooling chamber 5 through the stator 2 and the housing 1 and carried away by the coolant.

[0031] A wiring terminal 8 is provided on the outer wall of the housing 1 between the liquid inlet 6 and the liquid outlet 7. The wiring terminal 8 is connected to the inside of the housing 1, which facilitates wiring.

[0032] Combination Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, the positioning assembly includes a bracket 9 and a pressure plate 10. The bracket 9 is radially disposed inside the housing 1 and located on both sides of the stator 2. The pressure plate 10 is radially disposed inside the housing 1 and located on the side near the end cover 4. The pressure plate 10 abuts against the bracket 9 on the rear side.

[0033] On one side end face of the bracket 9, a plurality of positioning posts 11 are spaced apart along its circumference, and on the other side end face, a plurality of slots 12 are spaced apart along its circumference. On the front inner wall of the housing 1, a plurality of locking blocks 13 are spaced apart along its circumference, and the plurality of locking blocks 13 are inserted into the plurality of slots 12 in a corresponding manner. On both sides end faces of the stator 2, a plurality of positioning holes 14 are spaced apart along its circumference, and the plurality of positioning posts 11 are inserted into the plurality of positioning holes 14 in a corresponding manner.

[0034] The pressure plate 10 includes an annular plate 15 and a central block 16.

[0036] When the pressure plate 10 is tightened, the pressure ring 20 presses tightly against the end face of the rear bracket 9, and the stator 2 is fixed inside the housing 1 by the cooperation of the two side slots 12 and the block 13, and the positioning post 11 and the positioning hole 14.

[0037] like Figure 5 As shown, an annular seat 22 is provided on the inner end face of the end cap 4. The annular seat 22 is located inside the rear opening of the housing 1, and a first sealing ring 23 is provided between the annular seat 22 and the inner wall of the housing 1.

[0038] When the end cap 4 is fixed at the rear opening of the housing 1, it exerts a squeezing effect on the first sealing ring 23 and the second sealing ring 24, thereby achieving a seal between the end cap 4 and the housing 1.

[0039] In summary, this utility model, through the cooling chamber 5, liquid inlet 6, and liquid outlet 7 structure set inside the housing 1, transfers the heat generated by the motor during operation to the coolant in the cooling chamber 5, and carries it away by the circulating coolant, thereby achieving heat dissipation of the motor. It eliminates the need for cooling fans, shrouds, and other structures, which simplifies the motor structure, reduces the overall size, and achieves a fully enclosed design for the motor, effectively solving the problems of dust and water resistance.
