[0028] Example
[0029] This embodiment provides a sealed water-cooled housing for an electric motor, such as... Figures 1-5 As shown, it includes: a motor housing, which includes a heat-conducting inner housing 1 and an outer housing 2. Both ends of the heat-conducting inner housing 1 and the outer housing 2 are open. Both ends of the outer housing 2 are threaded with connecting plates 4. A limit ring 3 is fixedly connected to the center of the surface of the outer housing 2. A water-cooling mechanism 5 is disposed between the heat-conducting inner housing 1 and the outer housing 2 for dissipating the heat absorbed by the heat-conducting inner housing 1.
[0030] A sealed water-cooled housing for an electric motor using the above-mentioned technical solution is equipped with a water-cooling mechanism 5. External coolant enters the connecting plate 4 through the inlet / outlet pipe 501 and is sprayed out from the inlet / outlet hole 502. Under the guidance of the guide plate 503 and the limiting plate 504, it flows along the guide channel 507. When the coolant flows, it carries away the heat absorbed by the heat-conducting inner housing 1. The coolant flows out from the inlet / outlet hole 502 at the other end and is discharged through another inlet / outlet pipe 501, realizing the circulation of the coolant. The circulation of the coolant dissipates heat from the motor. The coolant is in direct contact with the heat-conducting inner housing 1, which improves the heat dissipation effect.
[0031] To increase the heat exchange area between the coolant and the motor, and thus improve heat dissipation, the water-cooling mechanism 5 includes a water guide plate 503 fixedly connected to the outer surface of the heat-conducting inner housing 1. A liquid guiding channel 507 is provided between two adjacent water guide plates 503. An inlet / outlet hole 502 is provided on the surface of the connecting plate 4, and an inlet / outlet pipe 501 connected to the inlet / outlet hole 502 is fixedly installed on one side of the connecting plate 4. Motor heat is conducted through the heat-conducting inner housing 1 to the outer surface of the heat-conducting inner housing 1 and the water guide plate 503. The water guide plate 503 increases the contact area with the coolant, improving the coolant's heat absorption effect and thus enhancing the motor's heat dissipation.
[0032] To further improve the heat dissipation of the motor, the liquid guiding channel 507 is correspondingly set with the liquid inlet and outlet holes 502, and the heat-conducting inner shell 1 is made of copper. The copper shell of the heat-conducting inner shell 1 improves heat transfer efficiency, transferring more heat to the coolant, and dissipating heat from the motor through the flow of the coolant.
[0033] To facilitate cleaning and maintenance of the cavity between the inner heat-conducting housing 1 and the outer housing 2, a limiting plate 504 is fixedly connected to the top of the water guide plate 503, and a limiting groove 505 corresponding to the water guide plate 503 and the limiting plate 504 is provided on the inner wall of the outer housing 2. The outer housing 2 is installed and fixed by the cooperation of the water guide plate 503, the limiting plate 504, and the limiting groove 505. The gap between the inner heat-conducting housing 1 and the outer housing 2 is maintained and cleaned by installing and removing the outer housing 2.
[0034] To improve the sealing between the heat-conducting inner shell 1 and the outer shell 2, the connecting plate 4 is rotated to form a threaded connection between the connecting plate 4 and the outer shell 2. The cooperation between the connecting plate 4 and the second sealing ring 508 ensures a seal between the heat-conducting inner shell 1 and the outer shell 2. A second sealing ring 508 corresponding to the heat-conducting inner shell 1 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the connecting plate 4.
[0035] For ease of maintenance, a first sealing ring 506 is provided on the surface of the outer casing 2, and an internal thread corresponding to the first sealing ring 506 is provided on the inner wall of the connecting plate 4. The connecting plate 4 can be disassembled by the interaction of the internal and external threads, and the heat-conducting inner casing 1 and the outer casing 2 can be cleaned and maintained by disassembling the connecting plate 4.
[0036] To ensure that the whole is flush, the two ends of the limiting ring 3 are fixedly connected with external threads 509 corresponding to the connecting plate 4, and the maximum outer diameter of the connecting plate 4 is the same as the maximum outer diameter of the limiting ring 3.
[0037] In summary, the sealed water-cooled housing for motor provided in this embodiment has the following advantages: A water-cooling mechanism 5 is provided, where external coolant enters the connecting plate 4 through the inlet / outlet pipe 501 and is sprayed out from the inlet / outlet hole 502. Under the guidance of the guide plate 503 and the limiting plate 504, it flows along the guide channel 507. During the flow, the coolant carries away the heat absorbed by the heat-conducting inner housing 1. The coolant flows out from the inlet / outlet hole 502 at the other end and is discharged through another inlet / outlet pipe 501, achieving coolant circulation. This circulation of coolant dissipates heat from the motor, and the coolant is in direct contact with the heat-conducting inner housing 1, improving the heat dissipation effect.
[0038] In use, connect the two inlet and outlet pipes 501 to the coolant circulation tank, allowing coolant to flow in from one inlet / outlet pipe 501 and out from the other. The heat generated by the motor is transferred to the outer surface of the heat-conducting inner housing 1, where it exchanges heat with the coolant flowing in the liquid channel 507. The heat is carried away by the coolant, thus dissipating heat from the motor. After prolonged use, unscrew the connecting plate 4 to separate it from the outer housing 2, allowing for cleaning of the gap between the heat-conducting inner housing 1 and the outer housing 2. This increases the coolant flow rate, improves heat dissipation, and prevents blockage by impurities.
[0039] The above are merely preferred embodiments of the present utility model and are not intended to limit the implementation methods and protection scope of the present utility model. Those skilled in the art should realize that any equivalent substitutions and obvious changes made based on the description and illustrations of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
