Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of dual liquid-cooled motor technology, specifically a novel dual liquid-cooled motor housing. Background Technology
[0002] Dual-liquid-cooled motors are a type of motor technology that uses two different liquid media to cool the motor. It typically combines water cooling and oil cooling. Water's high specific heat capacity quickly removes heat from the motor's main heat-generating parts, while oil lubricates and assists in cooling other critical areas of the motor. This design can more efficiently control motor temperature, improve heat dissipation, extend motor life, and enhance operational stability and reliability. It is suitable for high-power, high-load motor applications or those with stringent heat dissipation requirements.
[0003] In the field of motor technology, with the continuous improvement of motor power and the increasing diversification of application scenarios, the heat generated by motors during operation has become increasingly prominent. Excessive temperature not only affects the performance and efficiency of motors, but may also shorten the service life of motors and even cause safety accidents. However, existing motor cooling methods usually adopt air cooling and single liquid cooling. Although air cooling is simple in structure and low in cost, its cooling effect is often difficult to meet the requirements in high-power motor applications, especially under harsh conditions such as high temperature and high load. Air cooling cannot remove the heat generated by the motor in a timely and effective manner, resulting in excessively high motor temperature. At the same time, liquid cooling can usually only cool some of the heat-generating areas of the motor, making it difficult to achieve a comprehensive and uniform cooling effect. Utility Model Content

[0014] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:
[0015] This invention achieves dual-liquid cooling by setting an oil guide groove between the outer cylinder and the middle cylinder, and a water guide groove between the middle cylinder and the inner cylinder.

The inner wall of the inner cylinder 3 is connected to a water inlet 18 and a water outlet 19, and the water inlet 18 and the water outlet 19 are designed symmetrically from top to bottom. The oil inlet 16 is connected to the outer side of the outer cylinder 1 and is used to inject cooling oil into the oil guide tank 4 to ensure that there is enough cooling oil in the cooling system for circulation and cooling. The oil outlet 17 is connected to the outer side of the outer cylinder 1 and is used to discharge the cooling oil in the oil guide tank 4, which facilitates the replacement and maintenance of the cooling oil. The water inlet 18 is connected to the inner wall of the inner cylinder 3 and is used to inject cooling water into the water guide tank 5 to provide a water source for motor cooling. The water outlet 19 is connected to the inner wall of the inner cylinder 3 and is used to discharge the cooling water in the water guide tank 5 to realize the recycling or discharge of cooling water.
[0028] The inner wall of the oil guide tank 4 is provided with several sets of oil guide ports 20, and the inner wall of the water guide tank 5 is provided with several sets of water guide ports 21. The several sets of oil guide ports 20 on the inner wall of the oil guide tank 4 facilitate the uniform distribution and flow of cooling oil in the oil guide tank 4, thereby enhancing the cooling effect. The several sets of water guide ports 21 on the inner wall of the water guide tank 5 help the cooling water to be evenly distributed and flow in the water guide tank 5, thereby improving the cooling performance.
[0029] Working principle: When the motor housing is in use, an oil guide groove 4 is provided in the inner cavity formed by the outer cylinder 1 and the intermediate cylinder 2. Several oil guide ports 20 are opened on the inner wall of the oil guide groove 4. Cooling oil is injected into the inner cavity formed by the outer cylinder 1 and the intermediate cylinder 2 through the oil injection nozzle 16, and evenly distributed through the oil guide ports 20, absorbing the heat generated by the motor housing. Subsequently, the heated cooling oil is discharged through the oil drain nozzle 17, completing one oil circulation cooling cycle. Simultaneously, a water guide groove 5 is provided in the inner cavity formed by the intermediate cylinder 2 and the inner cylinder 3, guiding water... The inner wall of the tank 5 has several water guide ports 21. Cooling water is injected into the inner cavity formed by the intermediate cylinder 2 and the inner cylinder 3 through the water inlet 18, and is evenly distributed through the water guide ports 21 to absorb the heat generated inside the motor. Then, the heated cooling water is discharged through the drain nozzle 19, completing one water circulation cooling cycle. Since the mounting rings 6 are respectively installed at both ends of the outer cylinder 1, a first sealing ring 7 is set on the side closer to the outer cylinder 1, which fits into the groove 8 on the inner wall of the outer cylinder 1 to achieve a seal between the outer cylinder 1 and the mounting ring 6. The mounting ring 6 is close to the intermediate cylinder. A second sealing ring 9 is provided on one side of the inner cylinder 2 to enhance the sealing effect. Six sets of first fixing bolts 10 are threadedly connected to the inner wall of the mounting ring 6, which are threadedly connected to the six sets of threaded holes 11 on the inner wall of the intermediate cylinder 2 to fix the mounting ring 6 to the intermediate cylinder 2. Two sets of first sealing rings 12 on the outer side of the inner cylinder 3 fit into two sets of annular grooves 13 on the inner wall of the intermediate cylinder 2 to ensure the sealing between the intermediate cylinder 2 and the inner cylinder 3. At the same time, six sets of mounting blocks 14 on the outer side of the inner cylinder 3 are threadedly connected to the inner wall of the intermediate cylinder 2 through second fixing bolts 15 to fix the inner cylinder 3 to the intermediate cylinder 2. Since the outer cylinder 1, intermediate cylinder 2 and inner cylinder 3 adopt a detachable installation method, the oil circulation cooling device and the water circulation cooling device of the motor housing can be disassembled separately, which facilitates the maintenance of the oil circulation cooling device and the water circulation cooling device. At the same time, since the motor housing can quickly absorb the heat generated by the motor housing and the interior through the dual action of oil circulation cooling and water circulation cooling, it can greatly improve the cooling efficiency, reduce the motor operating temperature and extend the service life of the motor.
