Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of motors, specifically to a motor housing with a cooling structure and a motor. Background Technology
[0002] Motors generate a lot of heat during operation. If this heat cannot be dissipated, it will cause the motor circuit board to burn out, affecting the motor's performance. Prolonged exposure to high temperatures and heat can also cause circuit aging, unstable motor operation, and other problems, affecting the motor's normal operation and reducing its lifespan.
[0003] Some water-cooled motors are already on the market, achieving efficient heat dissipation by having liquid flow inside the casing to carry away heat. However, existing water-cooled motors have the following problems:
[0004] The liquid flow channel is poorly designed, only achieving localized heat dissipation and failing to achieve full circumferential heat dissipation of the motor;
[0005] The sealing part of the liquid flow channel and the end cap are separate structures, which have poor sealing performance and are prone to liquid leakage, causing short circuits in the motor; and also increase the processing steps.
[0006] The lack of heat dissipation structures at both ends of the cover causes heat to concentrate at both ends, affecting the normal operation of the motor.
[0007] Therefore, there is an urgent need to provide a new motor housing with a cooling structure and a motor to solve the above-mentioned technical problems. Utility Model Content
[0008] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model provides a motor housing and a motor with a cooling structure. The liquid flow channel is connected by end caps at both ends of the motor, eliminating the need for additional connecting parts, reducing processing difficulty and saving materials. The liquid flow channel is reasonably set up to achieve a uniform layout in the entire circumference, which greatly improves the heat dissipation performance of the motor.
[0009] The technical solution adopted by this utility model to solve its technical problem is as follows: a motor housing with a cooling structure, including a housing body and end caps. The housing body has a receiving cavity, and a liquid flow channel is arranged circumferentially on its outside. The liquid flow channel has liquid inlet at one end and liquid outlet at the other end. The end caps include a front end cap and a rear end cap, which are respectively sealed and installed at both ends of the housing body. Grooves are respectively opened on the inner side of the end caps. After the end caps are installed with the housing body, the grooves are installed corresponding to the liquid flow channels. The front end caps have a liquid inlet and a liquid outlet. The liquid inlet and the liquid outlet are connected to any groove, and the two are staggered. The liquid inlet, the groove, the liquid flow channel, and the liquid outlet form multiple S-shaped continuous liquid flow paths.
[0010] Furthermore, the diameter of the liquid flow channel connecting the inlet and outlet is larger than the diameter of other liquid flow channels.
[0011] Furthermore, the grooves on the front and rear covers are offset in the circumferential direction.
[0012] Furthermore, sealing gaskets are respectively provided between the front cover, the rear cover and the shell body.
[0013] Furthermore, heat sinks are provided on the exterior of the housing.
[0014] Furthermore, the inlet and outlet are symmetrically arranged at 180 degrees, with the inlet connected to one of the grooves and the outlet connected to the other groove.
[0015] Furthermore, the groove communicating with the liquid inlet and the groove communicating with the liquid outlet are respectively connected to two liquid flow channels to achieve liquid diversion.
[0016] Furthermore, a cooling mechanism is also provided, wherein the liquid inlet is connected to the liquid outlet of the cooling mechanism, and the liquid outlet is connected to the liquid inlet of the cooling mechanism.
[0017] An electric motor includes a housing, a stator, a rotor, and a motor shaft, wherein the housing is the housing with a cooling structure described above.
[0018] The beneficial effects of this utility model are: 1) By arranging multiple axial liquid flow channels around the outer periphery of the shell body, the shell body can achieve all-round heat dissipation; 2) By using multiple grooves arranged circumferentially on the inner side of the front end cover and the rear end cover, the liquid flow channels are connected, which not only realizes the continuous flow of liquid, but also plays the role of heat dissipation at both ends of the motor; 3) The grooves and end covers adopt an integrated structure, which can realize the integral molding of the grooves and end covers, save processing steps, and achieve a good sealing effect.
