Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of motor technology and relates to a motor housing. Background Technology

[0002] An electric motor is a device that converts electrical energy into mechanical energy. Its main function is to generate driving torque, serving as a power source for electrical appliances or various equipment. During operation, an electric motor generates a significant amount of heat. To ensure normal operation and extend its lifespan, internal cooling is necessary. Common methods for motor cooling include installing heat sinks on the motor housing or mounting a cooling fan at the rear of the housing. Heat sinks facilitate heat transfer and dissipation, while the cooling fan provides continuous airflow to remove heat from the motor's surface. However, both heat sinks and cooling fans have relatively low cooling efficiency and limited cooling effect. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The purpose of this invention is to address the aforementioned problems in existing technologies by providing a motor housing. The technical problem this invention aims to solve is how to improve the heat dissipation efficiency of a motor.

[0004] The objective of this utility model can be achieved through the following technical solutions:

[0005] An electric motor housing includes a cylindrical housing body, characterized in that the housing body has a plurality of circumferentially arranged and annular cooling channels, the plurality of cooling channels being spaced apart along the axial direction of the housing body, each cooling channel having an inlet and an outlet on the housing body that are not interconnected, the outlet of the preceding cooling channel and the inlet of the following cooling channel in two adjacent cooling channels being connected by an auxiliary channel, a first cover plate being connected to the outer side wall of the housing body, the first cover plate being able to cover the inlet and outlet of the plurality of cooling channels, the first cover plate having a clearance notch for the inlet of the first cooling channel and the outlet of the last cooling channel to be exposed.

[0006] In use, simply connect the inlet of the first cooling channel and the outlet of the last cooling channel of the motor housing to the coolant source and set up a circulation pump to form a closed loop for coolant flow. Because the cooling channels of the motor housing are opened along the circumference of the housing body, and several cooling channels are distributed along the axial direction of the housing body, the outlet of the first cooling channel and the inlet of the second cooling channel in two adjacent cooling channels are connected by auxiliary channels, so that the flow direction of the coolant in the cooling channels is a continuous spiral around the housing body. This allows the coolant in the cooling channels to achieve better heat conduction through circulation, and has the characteristics of large heat capacity, large effective heat dissipation area, and good thermal conductivity, thereby improving the heat dissipation efficiency of the motor.

[0007] In the aforementioned motor housing, each cooling channel has a spare liquid inlet on the housing body. A second cover plate is also connected to the outer wall of the housing body. The second cover plate is disposed opposite to the first cover plate and can cover several of the spare liquid inlets. By providing spare liquid inlets, the early processing and manufacturing of the cooling channels are facilitated, and they can be used to replace the original liquid inlets or outlets of the cooling channels.

[0008] In one type of motor housing described above, the second cover plate is detachably connected to the housing body by several bolts. This facilitates easy assembly and disassembly, and allows for convenient cleaning and maintenance of the cooling channels.

[0009] In the aforementioned motor housing, the housing body has several radially arranged baffles, several liquid inlets and several liquid outlets arranged side by side along the axial direction of the housing body, and several baffles are disposed between the liquid inlets and outlets of each cooling channel. Each baffle is perpendicularly abutting against the first cover plate. The baffles separate the liquid inlets and outlets of the same cooling channel, allowing the cooling channels to form a large circulation flow, ensuring that the coolant in the cooling channels flows through the entire housing body as much as possible. Furthermore, the baffles support the first cover plate and allow bolts to be installed on the common wall to form new fixing points, thereby improving the stability of the first cover plate connection and the structural strength of the entire housing body.

[0010] In the aforementioned motor housing, the first cover plate is detachably connected to the housing body by several bolts. This facilitates easy assembly and disassembly, and allows for convenient pre-processing and manufacturing of the cooling channels, as well as subsequent cleaning.

[0011] Compared with existing technologies, the advantages of this motor housing are as follows: In use, it is only necessary to connect the inlet of the first cooling channel and the outlet of the last cooling channel of the motor housing to a coolant source and set up a circulation pump to form a closed loop for coolant flow. Because the cooling channels of this motor housing are opened along the circumference of the housing, and several cooling channels are distributed along the axial direction of the housing body, the outlet of the first cooling channel and the inlet of the second cooling channel in two adjacent cooling channels are connected by auxiliary channels, so that the flow direction of the coolant in the cooling channels is a continuous spiral around the housing body. This allows the coolant in the cooling channels to achieve better heat conduction through circulation, and has the characteristics of large heat capacity, large effective heat dissipation area, and good thermal conductivity, thereby improving the heat dissipation efficiency of the motor.

It has the characteristics of large heat capacity, large effective heat dissipation area and good heat conduction effect, thereby improving the heat dissipation efficiency of the motor.
