AI Technical Summary
Existing snowplow motors are susceptible to the effects of snow, ice, and moisture. Snow can enter through the heat dissipation holes, causing the motor to overheat or burn out, thus affecting the safe operation of the equipment.
A motor heat dissipation hole is set on the snow shovel housing, and a shield is installed at the hole. After the snow hits the shield, it changes its path and avoids directly entering the motor. Through the design of the shield and the motor protection plate, the snow flows out along the inner wall of the housing.
This effectively prevents snow from directly contacting the motor, avoiding water ingress and overheating, and improving the operational reliability and service life of the equipment.

[0039] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to specific embodiments and accompanying drawings.
[0040] See Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, this embodiment provides a snowplow motor heat dissipation structure, including a snowplow housing 100 and a drive motor 200; a motor mounting base 110 is provided inside the snowplow housing 100, and the drive motor 200 is mounted on the motor mounting base 110; a motor heat dissipation hole 120 is provided on the snowplow housing 100, and a shielding member 300 is provided on the inner wall of the snowplow housing 100 at the motor heat dissipation hole 120, so that rain and snow entering from the motor heat dissipation hole 120 will hit the shielding member 300.
[0041] Specifically, when the snowplow is working, snow thrown off by the snowplow blades or by the wheels may enter the snowplow housing 100 through the motor cooling hole 120. After entering the motor cooling system, the snow will be loaded onto the baffle 300 at the end of the motor cooling hole 120. Then, the snow will move up or down along the baffle 300 and fall onto the inner wall of the snowplow housing 100. The snow will then flow down the inner wall of the snowplow housing 100 and finally be discharged from the bottom of the snowplow housing 100. The baffle 300 prevents the snow from being directly thrown onto the drive motor 200, thus avoiding water ingress and malfunction of the drive motor 200.
[0042] See Figures 1-6 As shown, in the optional embodiment, the shielding member 300 includes a shielding plate 310 and a connecting plate 320; both ends of the shielding plate 310 are provided with connecting plates 320, and the two connecting plates 320 are respectively provided at both ends of the motor heat dissipation hole 120 in the horizontal direction.
[0043] Specifically, the shielding component 300 includes a shielding plate 310 and a connecting plate 320. A connecting plate 320 is provided at both ends of the shielding plate 310. The shielding component 300 formed by connecting the shielding plate 310 and the two connecting plates 320 is n-shaped.
[0044] In addition, the two connecting plates 320 are respectively set at both ends of the motor heat dissipation hole 120 in the horizontal direction. With this setting, the shield can block the snow from entering from the motor heat dissipation hole 120, so that the snow changes its path and slides up and down, and will not be blown directly onto the drive motor 200.
[0045] See Figures 1-6 As shown, in an optional embodiment, the baffle 310 is tilted and gradually approaches the drive motor 200 from its top to its bottom.
[0046] Specifically, the shield 310 is set in an inclined state, and the shield 310 gradually approaches the drive motor 200 from its top to its bottom. With this setting, more of the snow that hits the shield 310 will slide downwards and flow along the inner wall of the snow shovel housing 100 to the bottom of the snow shovel housing 100.
[0047] See Figures 1-6 As shown, in the optional embodiment, the flow channel formed by the motor heat dissipation hole 120 and the shield 300 is T-shaped.
[0048] Specifically, the shield 300 is set at the motor heat dissipation hole 120, thereby changing the original straight flow channel of the motor heat dissipation hole 120 into a T-shaped flow channel. After the snow hits the shield 300, it will flow up and down.
[0049] See Figures 1-6 As shown, in the optional scheme of this embodiment, there are multiple motor heat dissipation holes 120, and the multiple motor heat dissipation holes 120 are arranged at equal intervals. A shielding member 300 is provided on the inner wall of the snow shovel housing 100 at each motor heat dissipation hole 120.
[0050] Specifically, multiple motor heat dissipation holes 120 are provided on the snow shovel housing 100, and the multiple motor heat dissipation holes 120 are arranged at equal intervals. This arrangement improves the heat dissipation effect of the drive motor 200 and extends the service life of the drive motor 200.
[0051] See Figures 1-6 As shown, in an optional embodiment, a motor protection plate 400 is provided on the motor mounting base 110; the motor protection plate 400 corresponds to the motor heat dissipation hole 120.
[0052] Specifically, a motor protection plate 400 is provided on the motor mounting base 110. The motor protection plate 400 can shield the drive motor 200, and the motor protection plate 400 corresponds to the motor heat dissipation hole 120, further protecting the drive motor 200 and preventing snow from falling directly on the drive motor 200.
[0053] See Figures 1-6 As shown, in the optional solution of this embodiment, a heat dissipation channel 410 is provided on the motor protection plate 400, and the heat dissipation channel 410 is arranged in a staggered manner with the motor heat dissipation hole 120.
[0054] Specifically, a heat dissipation channel 410 is provided on the motor protection plate 400, and the heat dissipation channel 410 is staggered with the motor heat dissipation hole 120. The heat dissipation effect of the drive motor 200 is improved by opening the heat dissipation channel 410.
[0055] See Figures 1-6 As shown, in an optional embodiment, the motor protection plate 400 is provided with a wire harness holder 420 for fixing the wire harness.
[0056] Specifically, a wire harness holder 420 is provided on the motor protection plate 400, and the power supply wire harness used to supply power to the drive motor 200 and the signal wire harness used to control the drive motor 200 can both be stored in the wire harness holder 420.
[0057] This embodiment provides an electric snowplow, including a snowplow motor heat dissipation structure.
[0058] Specifically, the snowplow motor heat dissipation structure is located inside the snowplow, and the drive motor 200 can drive the snowplow's snow-shoveling components to work, thereby completing the snow-shoveling operation.
[0059] In addition, the electric snowplow provided in this embodiment has the advantages of the above-mentioned snowplow motor heat dissipation structure compared with the prior art, which will not be elaborated here.
[0060] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this utility model, and are not intended to limit it. Although this utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or equivalent substitutions can be made to some or all of the technical features therein. Such modifications or substitutions do not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model.
