Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of brushless motor technology, specifically a waterproof brushless cooling fan. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, most battery energy storage systems employ air-cooled thermal management technology to effectively dissipate heat from the batteries, making the cooling fan a crucial thermal management component. DC brushless cooling fans, with their long lifespan and excellent speed regulation performance, are the preferred choice. However, most battery energy storage systems operate outdoors in harsh environments, constantly exposed to dust, snow, and rain, while their electronic components (controllers) have high waterproofing requirements. Therefore, battery energy storage systems also place higher waterproofing demands on brushless cooling fans, necessitating the design of new technical solutions. Utility Model Content

[0026] 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.

[0027] Please see Figure 1-7 This utility model provides a technical solution:

[0028] In this technical solution, a waterproof brushless cooling fan includes a fan blade 1, a fan cover 2, and a motor 3. The motor 3 includes a rear end cover 4 and a housing 17. A motor shaft 24 is assembled inside the rear end cover 4, and a rotor 8 is assembled on the motor shaft 24. A stator 9 is assembled inside the housing 17, and the stator 9 and the rotor 8 cooperate. A controller 7 is assembled inside the rear end cover 4, and a bearing 15 is assembled on the rear side of the interior of the rear end cover 4. The motor shaft 24 is installed in the bearing 15. A groove a18 is provided at the bearing chamber of the rear end cover 4, and an O-ring a5 is assembled in the groove a18. A groove b is provided on the rear end cover 4. The housing 17 is coated with sealant 6 at the groove b; the bearing chamber of the housing 17 has a groove c, and an O-ring b is installed in the groove c; the controller lead 14 is installed inside the rear cover 4, and the end of the controller lead 14 extends to the outside of the rear cover 4 and is provided with a lead wire assembly 12. A potting compound chamber 11 is provided at the lead wire assembly 12 and the controller lead 14, and a potting plug 13 is provided at the potting compound chamber 11; a screw hole is provided at the connection between the housing 17 and the rear cover 4, and a bolt body 23 is screwed into the screw hole. The rear cover 4 is equipped with a lead wire end cap 10 at the lead wire assembly 12.

[0029] In this technical solution, the rear cover 4 adopts a holeless design, and the fan blade 1 and the motor shaft are tightly fitted. To prevent the motor shaft 24 from moving and scraping against the rear cover 4 during the assembly of the fan blade 1, a groove 20 is provided in the bearing chamber of the rear cover 4. A relatively hard O-ring 5 is installed in the groove 20. When the fan blade 1 is pressed into the motor shaft 24, the pressure generated causes the bearing 15 to squeeze the O-ring 5. The O-ring 5 deforms under the force and becomes shorter, and the motor shaft 24 contacts the rear cover 4. The force is transmitted to the rear cover, thus completing the assembly of the fan blade 1. After the assembly is completed, the assembly pressure disappears, the O-ring 5 springs back, and the rotor 8 moves towards the fan blade. The motor shaft 24 is disengaged from the end cover 4, ensuring that the rotating component shaft 23 does not contact the stationary component end cover 4 and that normal operation is possible. The bearing chamber of the housing 7 is provided with a sealing groove, in which an O-ring is placed. Through the tight fit between the fan blade 1 and the shaft 23, water is prevented from entering from the shaft extension end. At the same time, heat sinks are provided on the outer circle of the housing to facilitate heat dissipation of the stator 8. After the motor lead wire 12 is welded to the controller lead wire 14, a potting chamber for potting compound 11 is formed by the lead wire cover 10 and the rear end cover 4. After potting, the potting port is blocked with the potting port plug 13, thus preventing water from entering from the lead wire assembly 12.

[0030] In some technical solutions, a heat sink 19 is provided on the outer end face of the rear end cover 4, and a flat surface 20 is provided on the inner end face of the rear end cover 4.

[0031] In this technical solution, the outer end face of the rear end cover 4 is provided with multiple heat sinks 19, and the inner end face is machined with a flat surface 20. The flat surface 20 is in close contact with the heat dissipation surface of the power components on the controller 7 to ensure good heat dissipation. The rear end cover 4 is provided with a groove, and when it is assembled with the housing 17 of the stator 9 component, sealant 6 is applied. After the sealant 6 is cured, it forms a sealing ring to prevent water from entering from the joint between the rear end cover 4 and the housing 17 of the stator 9 component.

[0032] In some technical solutions, the O-ring a5 has a filling cavity 21 inside, and the filling cavity 21 has an elastic element 22 inside.

[0033] In this technical solution, the elasticity of the O-ring a5 can be improved by the elastic element 22.

[0034] In some technical solutions, a circular groove 231 is provided at the bottom end of the bolt body 23, and a bolt rod 233 is installed at the bottom end of the circular groove 231. The bolt rod 233 is screwed into the screw hole at the connection between the rear end cover 4 and the housing 17.

[0035] In this technical solution, the rear cover 4 and the housing 17 are connected by a threaded connection.

[0036] In some technical solutions, a retaining ring 236 is installed on the upper outer end of the bolt rod 233, and an annular pressure plate 235, a spring 237 and an annular rubber sheet 232 are fitted on the circumferential surface of the bolt rod 233.

[0037] In this technical solution, the annular pressure plate 235 is located above the fixed ring 236, the spring 237 is located above the annular pressure plate 235, and the annular rubber sheet 232 is located below the fixed ring 236.

[0038] In some technical solutions, an extrusion block 234 is installed at the upper edge of the annular rubber sheet 232.

[0039] In this technical solution, the annular pressure plate 235 is pressed downward by the spring 237, and the extrusion block 234 is pressed downward by the annular pressure plate 235, so that the extrusion block 234 further extrudes the edge of the annular rubber sheet 232, thereby improving the sealing effect.

[0040] In some technical solutions, the fan blade 1 is installed inside the wind shield 2, and the motor 3 is installed on the rear side of the wind shield 2.
