[0002] Ships, such as yachts, speedboats and sailboats, etc., usually use a driving device (such as an electric motor or engine, etc.) to provide a power source for the ship so that the ship can move on the water surface. Among them, the driving device generates a large amount of heat when working. If the heat cannot be dissipated in time, the driving device is easily damaged and affects the normal operation of the ship. In the related art, a waterway is provided in the driving device, and the ship can directly pump external natural water such as seawater into the waterway to absorb the heat generated by the driving device, and take away the heat when the external natural water such as seawater flows out of the waterway, thereby realizing water cooling and heat dissipation of the driving device. However, due to the presence of impurities such as microorganisms in external natural water such as seawater, during long-term use, the impurities are easily attached to the surface of the waterway or even block the waterway, thereby affecting the absorption effect of the external natural water on the heat generated by the driving device, that is, resulting in a decrease in cooling efficiency, and then resulting in a decrease in the stability of the ship's operation.

[0029] In addition, the embodiments of the present application described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are only used to explain the embodiments of the present application and should not be understood as limiting the present application.

Furthermore, when a first feature is "above," "above," or "above" a second feature, it may mean that the first feature is directly above or diagonally above the second feature, or simply means that the first feature is at a higher level than the second feature. When a first feature is "below," "below," or "below" a second feature, it may mean that the first feature is directly below or diagonally below the second feature, or simply means that the first feature is at a lower level than the second feature.

[0031] Referring to Figures 1 and 2, the power device 100 provided in the embodiment of the present application includes a drive mechanism 10 and a heat dissipation mechanism 20. The drive mechanism 10 includes an electronic control component 11, a drive member 13 and a reducer 15. The electronic control component 11 is electrically connected to the drive member 13 and is used to control the operation of the drive member 13. The drive member 13 is connected to the reducer 15, and the reducer 15 is used to transmit the driving force of the drive member 13 to the outside. The heat dissipation mechanism 20 includes a heat exchanger 21, a first heat dissipation component 23 and a second heat dissipation component 25. The first heat dissipation component 23 is used to drive the cooling medium to flow between the heat exchanger 21 and the drive mechanism 10, and the cooling medium is used to cool the drive mechanism 10. The second heat dissipation component 25 is used to drive the external coolant to flow between the outside and the heat exchanger 21. The external coolant is used to cool the cooling medium and exchanges heat with the cooling medium in a non-contact manner in the heat exchanger 21.

[0032] Referring to Figure 4 , in certain embodiments, the electronic control assembly 11 is a device for controlling the operation of the driver 13. In this application, controlling the operation of the driver 13 means that the electronic control assembly 11 can control the start / stop, speed, and torque of the driver 13, among other things. The electronic control assembly 11 may include an electronic control housing 111 and electronic control components 113. The electronic control housing 111 is provided with a housing 1114. The electronic control components 113 are disposed within the housing 1114 and are used to control the operation of the driver 13. A cooling medium is used to cool the electronic control components 113. In this embodiment, the electronic control components 113 include a central control unit and a driver unit. The central control unit is electrically connected to the driver unit to manage and control its operation. The driver unit is electrically connected to the driver 13 to control its operation. The central control unit is also electrically connected to the remote communication terminal, the control terminal, and the energy terminal to manage and control their operation. It also interacts with the communication terminal, the control terminal, and the energy terminal to enable multi-module collaborative operation. The remote communication terminal is a communication module used to communicate with external terminal devices, cloud servers, or network data terminals. The remote communication terminal can be located within the electronic control component 113 or outside of the electronic control component 113 and connected to the electronic control component 113 via a cable. The control terminal is a control module used to receive user control commands and provide feedback on the control status to the user. The control terminal can be located on the ship's control console and can include, for example, a steering wheel, an electronic throttle lever, and a touch screen, or a combination of multiple devices. The energy terminal is an energy module used to provide power to multiple modules, such as the power unit, the control terminal, and the communication terminal. The energy terminal can include, for example, a lithium battery, a hydrogen battery, a generator, a solar cell, a wind power generator, or a combination of multiple devices. Specifically, when the first heat dissipation assembly 23 drives the cooling medium to flow between the heat exchanger 21 and the drive mechanism 10, the cooling medium can flow through the electronic control component 113 to cool and dissipate heat for the electronic control component 113, thereby preventing damage to the electronic control component 113 due to overheating, thereby improving the operational stability of the drive mechanism 10. In addition, the arrangement of the electric control housing 111 can prevent external impurities such as water or dust from directly contacting the electric control component 113 and causing damage to the electric control component 113, thereby ensuring the normal operation of the electric control component 113 and extending the service life of the electric control component 113.

[0033] The driver 13 is a device that converts electrical energy into mechanical energy and outputs the mechanical energy externally. Referring to Figure 6 , in this application, the driver 13 includes a driver body 131 and a driver housing 133. The driver body 131 is connected to a reducer 15, which reduces and increases the torque output by the driver body 131. The driver housing 133 is sleeved around the driver body 131, and a cooling medium passes through the driver housing 133 to cool the driver body 131.

[0034] Specifically, when the first heat dissipation assembly 23 drives the cooling medium to flow between the heat exchanger 21 and the drive mechanism 10, the cooling medium can flow in the drive housing 133 to cool and dissipate heat to the drive body 131. This prevents the drive body 131 from overheating and causing damage during operation, thereby improving the operational stability of the drive mechanism 10. It should be noted that in some embodiments, the drive member 13 may be a motor. Motors include, but are not limited to, DC servo motors, AC servo motors, and stepper motors.

[0035] In addition, in some embodiments, the electronic control housing 111 can be connected to the drive housing 133, that is, the electronic control component 11 can be designed as an integrated whole with the drive member 13. Therefore, compared with the case where the electronic control housing 111 and the drive housing 133 are separately arranged, the overall size of the electronic control component 11 and the drive member 13 is smaller. This can, on the one hand, reduce the volume of the drive mechanism 10, which is conducive to the miniaturization of the power device 100; on the other hand, it can reduce the distance between the electronic control component 11 and the drive member 13, thereby reducing the time required for the cooling medium to flow between the electronic control component 11 and the drive member 13, thereby improving the cooling efficiency of the heat dissipation mechanism 20 on the drive mechanism 10. It should be noted that in some embodiments, the electronic control housing 111 can be connected to the drive housing 133 by one or more of the following connection methods: bolt connection, snap connection, bonding or welding.

[0036] The reducer 15 is a device used to reduce the speed of the drive member 13 and increase the torque. Referring to Figures 9 and 10 , in this application, the reducer 15 includes a reduction housing 151 and a reduction body 153. The reduction body 153 is mounted within the reduction housing 151 and connected to the drive body 131. A cooling medium is also used to cool the reduction body 153.

[0037] Specifically, when the first heat dissipation component 23 drives the cooling medium to flow between the heat exchanger 21 and the driving mechanism 10, the cooling medium can flow in the reduction housing 151 to achieve cooling and heat dissipation of the reduction body 153, thereby preventing the reduction body 153 from overheating and causing damage during operation of the reducer 15, and improving the working stability of the driving mechanism 10.

[0038] In some embodiments, the reducer 15 and the driver 13 can be coaxially connected (i.e., the central axis of the output shaft of the driver 13 coincides with the central axis of the rotating shaft 1533 of the reducer 15), thereby improving the coaxial accuracy of the connection between the driver 13 and the reducer 15 and enhancing the working stability of the drive mechanism 10. In addition, in some embodiments, the reduction housing 151 is connected to the drive housing 133, that is, the reducer 15 can be designed as an integrated unit with the driver 13. Therefore, compared with the separate arrangement of the reducer 15 and the driver 13, the overall size of the reducer 15 and the driver 13 is smaller. This can, on the one hand, reduce the volume of the drive mechanism 10, which is conducive to the miniaturization of the power device 100; on the other hand, it can reduce the distance between the reducer 15 and the driver 13, thereby reducing the time required for the cooling medium to flow between the reducer 15 and the driver 13, thereby improving the cooling efficiency of the heat dissipation mechanism 20 on the drive mechanism 10. It should be noted that, in some embodiments, the reduction housing 151 and the drive housing 133 may be connected by one or more connection methods such as bolt connection, snap connection, bonding or welding.

[0039] In some embodiments, the heat exchanger 21 is a device that can transfer part of the heat of a hot fluid to a cold fluid. The heat exchanger 21 is generally composed of a series of pipes, plates or other forms of heat transfer surfaces, and the heat of the hot fluid can be transferred to the cold fluid through the heat transfer surface, thereby achieving heat transfer and balance. In the present application, the heat exchanger 21 can transfer the heat in the cooling medium to the external coolant, so that the external coolant cools the cooling medium. Specifically, after the cooling medium cools the drive mechanism 10, the temperature of the cooling medium increases, that is, the cooling medium flowing into the heat exchanger 21 is a hot fluid, and the temperature of the external coolant flowing into the heat exchanger 21 from the outside is lower than that of the cooling medium, that is, the external coolant flowing into the heat exchanger 21 from the outside is a cold fluid, and the external coolant and the cooling medium can exchange heat in a non-contact manner in the heat exchanger 21, thereby, the external coolant can cool the cooling medium, so that the cooling medium flowing out of the heat exchanger 21 becomes a cold fluid again, thereby ensuring that the cooling medium can cool the drive mechanism 10.

[0040] Non-contact heat exchange can be achieved by allowing heat transfer between the external coolant and the cooling medium in the heat exchanger 21 without contact. For example, if the heat exchanger 21 has multiple pipes, the external coolant can be located within the pipes, while the cooling medium is located outside the pipes. Thus, heat transfer between the external coolant and the cooling medium can occur through the pipe surfaces.

[0041] The cooling medium includes, but is not limited to, water, a coolant, or a cooling gas. Coolants include, but are not limited to, ethylene glycol or propylene glycol; cooling gases include, but are not limited to, ammonia or hydrogen. In the present application, the cooling medium contains minimal or no impurities. Therefore, when the cooling medium flows between the heat exchanger 21 and the drive mechanism 10, the cooling effect of the cooling medium on the drive mechanism 10 is not affected by the precipitation of impurities, thereby ensuring the heat dissipation efficiency of the heat dissipation mechanism 20 on the drive mechanism 10. For example, if the cooling medium is water, the water can be purified water.

[0042] The external coolant includes but is not limited to water, coolant or cooling gas, etc. Among them, the coolant includes but is not limited to ethylene glycol or propylene glycol, etc.; the cooling gas includes but is not limited to ammonia or hydrogen, etc. In the present application, the external coolant can be external natural water, such as seawater or lake water, etc. Since the specific heat capacity of external natural water is relatively large, that is, the temperature of external natural water is not easily affected by the outside world and changes significantly, therefore, the external natural water can always maintain a relatively low temperature. Therefore, the external coolant is external natural water. On the one hand, it can ensure that when the external coolant and the cooling medium perform non-contact heat exchange in the heat exchanger 21, there is a large temperature difference between the external coolant and the cooling medium, thereby improving the heat exchange effect, and then improving the cooling effect of the cooling medium on the drive mechanism 10; on the other hand, the external natural water can be directly obtained from the outside. For example, when the water movable device 1000 moves on the sea surface, the external natural water (seawater) can be directly obtained from the sea, thereby ensuring the supply of external coolant and preventing the cooling medium from being effectively cooled due to insufficient external coolant.

[0043] It is understood that in other embodiments, the power unit 100 may further include a storage unit (not shown), in which external coolant is stored. Thus, the second heat dissipation component 25 can drive the external coolant in the storage unit to flow to the heat exchanger 21, so that when the hydraulic pressure of the second heat dissipation component 25 to obtain the external coolant from the external environment is insufficient, it can be supplemented by the external coolant in the storage unit. If the second heat dissipation component 25 cannot obtain the external coolant from the outside for a long time, the open external circulation cooling can be switched to a closed external circulation cooling, that is, after non-contact heat exchange with the cooling medium in the heat exchanger 21, it flows back to the storage unit, and an external coolant heat exchanger is set in the closed external circulation cooling path to temporarily remove the heat of the external coolant in the closed external circulation through the external coolant heat exchanger and take away the heat through the outside air. Among them, the type of external coolant stored in the storage unit is the same as the type of external coolant in the above-mentioned embodiment, and will not be repeated here.

[0044] Please refer to Figures 1 and 2. In some embodiments, the power device 100 may further include a shell 50, which is provided to cover the driving mechanism 10 and the heat dissipation mechanism 20. Therefore, the setting of the shell 50 can provide good protection for the driving mechanism 10 and the heat dissipation mechanism 20, preventing the driving mechanism 10 and the heat dissipation mechanism 20 from colliding with external devices and causing damage, thereby ensuring the normal operation of the power device 100.

[0045] Referring to Figure 17 , in certain embodiments, the power device 100 can be applied to a propeller 300 . Specifically, the power device 100 can be connected to the propeller 310 of the propeller 300 . When the drive mechanism 10 is in operation, the drive mechanism 10 can drive the propeller 310 to rotate, thereby enabling the mobile device 1000 in the water to move on the surface of the water. Specifically, the speed reducer 15 in the drive mechanism 10 can be connected to the propeller 310 . When the drive member 13 is in operation, the speed reducer 15 transmits the driving force generated by the drive member 13 to the propeller 310 , thereby enabling the propeller 310 to rotate.

[0046] In some embodiments, when the drive mechanism 10 is operating normally, the heat dissipation mechanism 20 can operate continuously to cool and dissipate heat for the drive mechanism 10, thereby ensuring the stability of the operation of the drive mechanism 10. In other embodiments, when the drive member 13 is operating, the heat dissipation mechanism 20 can operate intermittently to cool and dissipate heat for the drive mechanism 10. In other words, the heat dissipation mechanism 20 can alternately operate and rest within a preset time interval. Therefore, the intermittent operation of the heat dissipation mechanism 20 can not only ensure the heat dissipation effect of the heat dissipation mechanism 20 on the drive mechanism 10 and improve the stability of the operation of the drive mechanism 10, but also reduce the power consumption required for the operation of the heat dissipation mechanism 20.

[0047] In the power device 100 of the present application, the heat dissipation mechanism 20 includes a heat exchanger 21, a first heat dissipation component 23 and a second heat dissipation component 25. The first heat dissipation component 23 is used to drive the cooling medium to flow between the heat exchanger 21 and the driving mechanism 10 to cool the driving mechanism 10. The second heat dissipation component 25 is used to drive the external coolant to flow between the outside and the heat exchanger 21, and to perform non-contact heat exchange with the cooling medium in the heat exchanger 21 to cool the cooling medium. Therefore, compared with the traditional external coolant that directly cools and dissipates heat to the driving mechanism, the impurities in the external coolant in the present application will not affect the heat absorption effect of the cooling medium, thereby ensuring the heat dissipation efficiency of the heat dissipation mechanism 20 to the driving mechanism 10 and improving the stability of the operation of the movable device 1000 in water.

[0048] The power device 100 will be further explained below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0049] Referring to Figures 1 to 3 , in certain embodiments, the drive mechanism 10, heat exchanger 21, and first heat dissipation assembly 23 collectively form a first heat exchange loop 30, through which a cooling medium flows. The heat exchanger 21, second heat dissipation assembly 25, and a cooling source from the external environment collectively form a second heat exchange loop 40, through which an external coolant flows. The first heat exchange loop 30 and the second heat exchange loop 40 are thermally coupled within the heat exchanger 21.

[0050] Specifically, in some embodiments, the driving mechanism 10, the heat exchanger 21 and the first heat dissipation component 23 are all provided with passages for the flow of cooling medium, and the passages on the driving mechanism 10, the heat exchanger 21 and the first heat dissipation component 23 are interconnected to form a first heat exchange loop 30, thereby, the cooling medium can circulate in the first heat exchange loop 30 to form a closed internal circulation cooling path; accordingly, the heat exchanger 21 and the second heat dissipation component 25 are all provided with passages for the flow of external coolant, and the passages on the heat exchanger 21 and the second heat dissipation component 25 are interconnected with the cooling source of the external environment to form a second heat exchange loop 40, thereby, the external coolant can circulate in the second heat exchange loop 40 to form an open external circulation cooling path.

[0051] Among them, since the cooling medium can exchange heat with the electronic control component 11, the driving part 13 and the reducer 15 when the cooling medium flows through the driving mechanism 10, the temperature of the cooling medium flowing out of the driving mechanism 10 increases, and the heated cooling medium can continue to flow in the first heat exchange circuit 30 and enter the heat exchanger 21, while the temperature of the external coolant is lower than the heated cooling medium. When the cooling medium in the first heat exchange circuit 30 and the external coolant in the second heat exchange circuit 40 are thermally coupled in the heat exchanger 21, heat exchange can be carried out between the cooling medium and the external coolant. Moreover, since there is a temperature difference between the external coolant and the heated cooling medium, the external coolant can cool the cooling medium, and the cooled cooling medium can continue to flow in the first heat exchange circuit 30 to cool the driving mechanism 10.

[0052] In certain embodiments, the flow rate and flow rate of the cooling medium in the first heat exchange circuit 30 are related to the output power of the drive mechanism 10. Specifically, when the output power of the drive mechanism 10 increases, that is, when the speed of the propeller 310 (shown in FIG17 ) increases, the heat generated by the drive mechanism 10 also increases. In this case, if the flow rate and flow rate of the cooling medium in the first heat exchange circuit 30 do not change accordingly, the cooling medium cannot effectively dissipate heat from the drive mechanism 10, thereby causing damage to the drive mechanism 10. Therefore, when the output power of the drive mechanism 10 increases, the flow rate and flow rate of the cooling medium in the first heat exchange circuit 30 also increase, thereby ensuring that the cooling medium effectively dissipates heat for the drive mechanism 10. Correspondingly, when the output power of the drive mechanism 10 decreases, that is, when the speed of the propeller 310 decreases, the heat generated by the drive mechanism 10 decreases. In this case, the flow rate and flow rate of the cooling medium in the first heat exchange circuit 30 can also be reduced. This can ensure that the cooling medium effectively dissipates heat for the drive mechanism 10 while reducing the energy consumption of the power device 100. It is understood that when the flow rate and flow rate of the cooling medium in the first heat exchange circuit 30 change, the flow rate and flow rate of the external coolant in the second heat exchange circuit 40 also change accordingly. Specifically, when the flow rate and flow rate of the cooling medium in the first heat exchange circuit 30 increase, the flow rate and flow rate of the external coolant in the second heat exchange circuit 40 also increase; when the flow rate and flow rate of the cooling medium in the first heat exchange circuit 30 decrease, the flow rate and flow rate of the external coolant in the second heat exchange circuit 40 also decrease.

[0053] Referring to Figures 2 and 3 , in some embodiments, the first heat dissipation assembly 23 includes a first delivery pipe 231 and a first suction member 233. One end of the first delivery pipe 231 is connected to the heat exchanger 21, and the other end of the first delivery pipe 231 is connected to the electronic control assembly 11. The first suction member 233 is disposed on the first delivery pipe 231 and is used to draw the cooling medium. The first heat exchange circuit 30 includes the inner cavity of the first delivery pipe 231. It should be noted that in some embodiments, the first suction member 233 can be a pump or other device capable of suction.

[0054] Specifically, in some embodiments, when the first suction member 233 operates normally, the first suction member 233 can suck the cooling medium in the heat exchanger 21 (the cooling medium after being cooled by the external coolant) into the inner cavity of the first delivery pipe 231, and pump the cooling medium in the inner cavity of the first delivery pipe 231 into the electronic control component 11, so that the cooling medium can cool the electronic control component 11.

[0055] Referring to Figure 4 , in some embodiments, the electronic control housing 111 includes a top cover 1115 and a base 1117. The top cover 1115 and the base 1117 are combined to form a receiving chamber 1114. Specifically, in some embodiments, the top cover 1115 and the base 1117 can be connected using one or more of bonding, welding, threaded connection, or snap-fit ​​connection. The electronic control component 113 is housed within the receiving chamber 1114. When the first suction member 233 is operating normally, the cooling medium can flow through the electronic control housing 111 into the receiving chamber 1114 and perform non-contact heat exchange with the electronic control component 113.

[0056] Furthermore, referring to Figure 5 , in some embodiments, the electrical control housing 111 further comprises a first opening 1111 and a second opening 1113 spaced apart from each other, and the other end of the first delivery pipe 231 is connected to the first opening 1111. The electrical control assembly 11 also comprises a loading member 115, which comprises a flow channel 1151. One end of the flow channel 1151 is connected to the first opening 1111, and the other end is connected to the second opening 1113. The electrical control component 113 is mounted on the loading member 115. The first suction member 233 drives the cooling medium into the flow channel 1151 through the first opening 1111 and out through the second opening 1113. The first heat exchange circuit 30 further comprises the first opening 1111, the second opening 1113, and the flow channel 1151. It should be noted that in some embodiments, the loading member 115 can be made of a material with good thermal conductivity, such as copper, aluminum, or steel, thereby improving the heat exchange efficiency between the cooling medium and the electrical control component 113.

[0057] Specifically, in some embodiments, the loading member 115 may have a hollow structure, that is, the interior of the loading member 115 is hollow, and this hollow space serves as the flow channel 1151. When the first suction member 233 is operating normally, the cooling medium in the first delivery pipe 231 can enter the flow channel 1151 through the first opening 1111 and absorb the heat generated by the electronic control component 113 mounted on the loading member 115, thereby cooling the electronic control component 113. The cooling medium then flows out of the electronic control housing 111 through the second opening 1113. It is understood that in some embodiments, the cooling medium can flow along the meandering flow channel 1151 to cool the electronic control component 113. As one possible embodiment, since the drive unit of the electronic control component 113 controls the operation of the drive element, the drive unit in the electronic control component 113 generates the most heat. The loading member 115 contacts the drive unit of the electronic control component 113, effectively reducing the temperature of the electronic control component 113. The electronic control component 113 includes two drive units, and the drive component 113 is provided with two sets of motor windings, namely, two side-by-side stators and two side-by-side rotors, which are fixed to the same rotating shaft. The two drive units are electrically connected to the two sets of motor windings to drive the two sets of motor windings, thereby improving the operating power of the drive component and simplifying the manufacturing cost of the drive component 13. The loading member 115 has two opposing sides (a first side of the loading member 115 and a second side of the loading member 115). The two drive units of the electronic control component 113 are respectively mounted on the two opposing sides of the loading member 115, namely, one of the two drive units is disposed on the first side of the loading member 115, and the other of the two drive units is disposed on the second side of the loading member 115. This allows the cooling medium to cool both drive units simultaneously when flowing through the flow channel 1151, thereby improving cooling efficiency.

[0058] In some embodiments, along the direction from the electronic control component 113 to the loading part 115, the projection of the electronic control component 113 on the loading part 115 and the projection of the flow channel 1151 on the loading part 115 at least partially overlap. Thus, compared to the case where the projection of the electronic control component 113 on the loading part 115 and the projection of the flow channel 1151 on the loading part 115 do not overlap, the contact area of ​​the cooling medium with the electronic control component 113 when flowing through the flow channel 1151 is larger, thereby improving the cooling efficiency of the cooling medium on the electronic control component 113.

[0059] 2 to 5 , in some embodiments, the first opening 1111 and the second opening 1113 are disposed on the base 1117 and communicate with the flow channel 1151. Furthermore, in some embodiments, the base 1117 is provided with a first connecting channel 1118 and a second connecting channel 1119. One end of the first connecting channel 1118 communicates with the first opening 1111 and the other end communicates with one end of the flow channel 1151. One end of the second connecting channel 1119 communicates with the second opening 1113 and the other end communicates with the other end of the flow channel 1151. The first heat exchange circuit 30 further includes the first connecting channel 1118 and the second connecting channel 1119.

[0060] Specifically, when first suction member 233 operates normally, the cooling medium in first delivery pipe 231 can sequentially flow through first opening 1111, first connecting channel 1118, flow channel 1151, second connecting channel 1119, and second opening 1113 before exiting electronic control housing 111, thereby cooling and dissipating heat from electronic control component 113. The central axis of first connecting channel 1118 and second connecting channel 1119 can be linear or curved, etc., without limitation.

[0061] Please refer to Figures 2, 3 and 6. In some embodiments, the first heat dissipation component 23 also includes a second delivery pipe 235, one end of the second delivery pipe 235 is connected to the second opening 1113, and the other end is connected to the drive housing 133. The second delivery pipe 235 is used to transport the cooling medium flowing out of the second opening 1113 to the drive housing 133. The first heat exchange circuit 30 also includes an inner cavity of the second delivery pipe 235.

[0062] Specifically, when the first suction member 233 is operating normally, the cooling medium flowing out of the second opening 1113 can be pumped into the inner cavity of the second delivery pipe 235 and flow into the drive housing 133. As a result, the cooling medium can cool and dissipate heat from the drive body 131 in the drive housing 133. It can be understood from the above that the drive housing 133 is connected to the electronic control housing 111. Therefore, compared to when the drive housing 133 and the electronic control housing 111 are not connected, the distance between the drive member 13 and the electronic control assembly 11 is smaller. As a result, the length of the second delivery pipe 235 is shorter, thereby reducing the flow time of the cooling medium in the second delivery pipe 235, thereby improving the cooling efficiency of the cooling medium on the drive mechanism 10.

[0063] Referring to Figure 7 , in some embodiments, the drive housing 133 is provided with a cooling channel 1331 through which a cooling medium flows to cool the drive body 131. Specifically, in some embodiments, the drive housing 133 may be a hollow structure, i.e., the interior of the drive housing 133 is hollow, and this hollow space serves as the cooling channel 1331. When the first suction member 233 is operating normally, the cooling medium in the second delivery pipe 235 can enter the cooling channel 1331 and flow therein to cool the drive body 131.

[0064] In some embodiments, the cross-sectional area of ​​the cooling channel 1331 is the same as the surface area of ​​the outer peripheral wall of the drive housing 133. Thus, when the cooling medium enters the drive housing 133, the cooling medium can cover the drive housing 133, thereby cooling the drive body 131 in all directions.

[0065] In other embodiments, the cooling channel 1331 may be bent and extended along the circumference of the drive housing 133. For example, the cooling channel 1331 may be arranged in an "S"-shaped structure around the drive housing 133. Thus, when the cooling medium enters the drive housing 133, the bending and extension of the cooling channel 1331 can increase the flow time of the cooling medium in the cooling channel 1331, thereby allowing the cooling medium to fully exchange heat with the drive body 131, thereby improving the cooling effect of the cooling medium on the drive body 131.

[0066] Furthermore, in some embodiments, the outer peripheral wall of the drive housing 133 is further provided with a first inlet 1332 and a first outlet 1333. Both the first inlet 1332 and the first outlet 1333 are in communication with the cooling channel 1331. The first inlet 1332 is also in communication with the second delivery pipe 235. The cooling medium enters the cooling channel 1331 through the first inlet 1332 and flows out through the first outlet 1333. The first heat exchange circuit 30 also includes the first inlet 1332, the first outlet 1333, and the cooling channel 1331. It should be noted that in some embodiments, the drive housing 133 can be made of a material with good thermal conductivity, such as copper, aluminum, or steel, thereby improving the heat exchange efficiency between the cooling medium and the drive body 131.

[0067] 2 , 3 , 6 , and 7 , in certain embodiments, the drive housing 133 includes a first end 1334 and a second end 1335 opposite each other. The first end 1334 of the drive housing 133 faces the electronic control assembly 11, and the second end 1335 of the drive housing 133 faces the reducer 15. The drive housing 133 also includes a first blocking member 1336 , one end of which is connected to the first end 1334 of the drive housing 133 and the other end of which is connected to the second end 1335 of the drive housing 133. The first blocking member 1336 is used to separate the cooling channel 1331 to form a first sub-channel 13311 and a second sub-channel 13313 that are not connected to each other. The first sub-channel 13311 is connected to the first inlet 1332, and the second sub-channel 13313 is connected to the first outlet 1333.

[0068] Furthermore, in some embodiments, the second end 1335 of the driving housing 133 is provided with a second water outlet 1338 and a second water inlet 1339 .

[0069] Specifically, in some embodiments, the second water outlet 1338 is connected to the first sub-channel 13311, and the second water inlet 1339 is connected to the second sub-channel 13313. Thus, after the cooling medium enters the first sub-channel 13311 through the first inlet 1332, the cooling medium can dissipate heat to a portion of the drive body 131, and due to the setting of the first blocking member 1336, the cooling medium cannot flow directly into the second sub-channel 13313. Therefore, the cooling medium can pass through the second water outlet connected to the second sub-channel 13313. 1338 flows out to the outside. In addition, since the first end 1334 of the drive housing 133 can be connected to the electronic control housing 111, and the second end 1335 of the drive housing 133 can be connected to the reduction housing 151, the cooling medium can flow into the reducer 15 through the second water outlet 1338, and then flow into the second sub-channel 13313 through the second water inlet 1339 before flowing out from the first water outlet, so that the cooling medium can cool the drive component 13 and the reducer 15 at the same time, thereby improving the cooling efficiency of the heat dissipation mechanism 20.

[0070] Furthermore, in some embodiments, the drive housing 133 also includes a plurality of spaced second blocking members 1337, and the plurality of second blocking members 1337 are all arranged in the second sub-channel 13313. The second blocking members 1337 are used to limit the bending flow of the cooling medium in the second sub-channel 13313, thereby improving the uniformity of cooling of the drive body 131 by the cooling medium, thereby improving the cooling effect of the cooling medium on the drive body 131.

[0071] 8 , in some embodiments, one end of one of two adjacent second blocking members 1337 is connected to the first end 1334 of the drive housing 133, and the other end is spaced apart from the second end 1335 of the drive housing 133. The other of the two adjacent second blocking members 1337 has one end connected to the second end 1335 of the drive housing 133, and the other end is spaced apart from the first end 1334 of the drive housing 133.

[0072] Specifically, one of the two adjacent second blocking members 1337 extends from the first end 1334 of the drive housing 133 toward the second end 1335 of the drive housing 133 and is spaced apart from the second end 1335 of the drive housing 133. In other words, there is a gap between one of the two adjacent second blocking members 1337 and the second end 1335 of the drive housing 133; the other of the two adjacent second blocking members 1337 extends from the second end 1335 of the drive housing 133 toward the first end 1334 of the drive housing 133 and is spaced apart from the first end 1335 of the drive housing 133. The ends 1334 are spaced, that is, there is a gap between the other of the two adjacent second blocking members 1337 and the first end 1334 of the drive shell 133. When the first suction member 233 operates normally, the cooling medium is limited by the setting of the second blocking member 1337. The cooling medium can flow in a bent manner in the second sub-channel 13313, thereby increasing the flow time of the cooling medium in the second sub-channel 13313, so that the cooling medium can fully exchange heat with the drive body 131, thereby improving the cooling effect of the cooling medium on the drive body 131.

[0073] In other embodiments, the second blocking member 1337 includes a first end and a second end relative to each other, the first end of the second blocking member 1337 is connected to the first end 1334 of the drive housing 133, and the second end of the second blocking member 1337 is connected to the second end 1335 of the drive housing 133, and the second blocking member 1337 is provided with a through hole (not shown in the figure), which is arranged at the first end of the second blocking member 1337, or the second end of the second blocking member 1337, or between the first end of the second blocking member 1337 and the second end of the second blocking member 1337, and the through holes on two adjacent second blocking members 1337 are staggered, so that the cooling medium can also bend and flow in the second sub-channel 13313, thereby increasing the flow time of the cooling medium in the second sub-channel 13313, and thus enabling the cooling medium to fully exchange heat with the drive body 131, thereby improving the cooling effect of the cooling medium on the drive body 131.

[0074] Referring to Figures 2, 6, 9, and 10, in some embodiments, the reduction housing 151 is provided with a circulation channel 1511, which is in communication with both the second water outlet 1338 and the second water inlet 1339. The first suction member 233 drives the cooling medium into the circulation channel 1511 through the second water outlet 1338, and into the second sub-channel 13313 from the second water inlet 1339. The first heat exchange circuit 30 also includes the second water outlet 1338, the second water inlet 1339, and the circulation channel 1511. It should be noted that in some embodiments, the reduction housing 151 can be made of a material with good thermal conductivity, such as copper, aluminum, or steel, thereby improving the heat exchange efficiency between the cooling medium and the electronic control component 113.

[0075] Specifically, when the first suction member 233 operates normally, the cooling medium flowing out from the second water outlet 1338 can directly enter the circulation channel 1511 and absorb the heat generated by the deceleration body 153, thereby realizing the cooling and heat dissipation of the deceleration body 153. In addition, the cooling medium flowing out from the circulation channel 1511 can also enter the second sub-channel 13313 through the second water inlet 1339 to cool the driving body 131.

[0076] Furthermore, referring to Figure 11 , in some embodiments, the reduction housing 151 further includes a receiving chamber 1513, within which the reduction body 153 is mounted. The reducer 15 also includes cooling oil, which is contained within the receiving chamber 1513. The cooling oil is used to cool and lubricate the reduction body 153. When the cooling medium flows through the circulation channel 1511, the cooling medium also cools the cooling oil. It should be noted that in some embodiments, the cooling oil may be lubricating oil.

[0077] Specifically, when the reduction gear body 153 is in motion, the cooling oil directly contacts the reduction gear body 153. This not only lubricates the reduction gear body 153, ensuring its operational stability, but also absorbs heat generated by the reduction gear body 153, preventing damage to the reduction gear body 153 due to overheating. Furthermore, while the cooling oil cools the reduction gear body 153, the cooling medium flowing through the circulation channel 1511 also cools the reduction gear body 153. Furthermore, the cooling medium can also cool the cooling oil, thereby enhancing the cooling effect of the heat dissipation mechanism 20 on the reducer 15 and improving the utilization rate of the cooling medium.

[0078] More specifically, in some embodiments, the reduction body 153 includes a bearing 1531, a rotating shaft 1533, and a gear set 1535. The rotating shaft 1533 passes through the bearing 1531 and is connected to the driving body 131. The gear set 1535 is connected to the rotating shaft 1533. When the driving body 131 is in operation, the rotating shaft 1533 rotates, driving the gear set 1535 and the bearing 1531 to rotate.

[0079] In certain embodiments, two bearings 1531 may be disposed on the reduction housing 151 . A rotating shaft 1533 rotatably passes through the two bearings 1531 and is connected to the propeller 310 of the propeller 300 . A gear set 1535 is located between the two bearings 1531 and is connected to the output shaft of the drive body 131 . When the output shaft of the drive body 131 rotates, the gear set 1535 can drive the rotating shaft 1533 to rotate, causing the propeller 310 to rotate along with the rotating shaft 1533 , thereby achieving movement of the mobile device 1000 in the water area. Cooling oil can lubricate the gear set 1535 and the bearings 1531 , thereby preventing them from getting stuck and ensuring the normal operation of the reducer 15 .

[0080] During the normal operation of the reducer 15, friction and mechanical movement occur between the various parts of the reducer body 153 (including the bearing 1531, the rotating shaft 1533, and the gear set 1535). Therefore, the reducer body 153 will generate heat, which will cause the air pressure in the accommodating chamber 1513 to increase, thereby increasing the friction resistance between the various parts, and thus limiting the power output of the reducer 15 and failing to achieve the expected speed or torque output. Therefore, in the present application, the reducer 15 also includes an air pressure valve 155, which is installed on the reducer housing 151 and is used to adjust the air pressure in the accommodating chamber 1513. Therefore, the provision of the air pressure valve 155 can, on the one hand, prevent the friction resistance between the various parts from increasing due to the increase in air pressure, thereby preventing the power output of the reducer 15 from being limited, ensuring that the reducer 15 can achieve the expected speed or torque output; on the other hand, it can also prevent the structure of the reducer 15 from being damaged due to excessive air pressure, thereby extending the service life of the reducer 15.

[0081] Please refer to Figures 2, 11 and 12. In some embodiments, the reduction housing 151 also includes a pressure relief channel 1515. The pressure relief channel 1515 is located on the side of the bearing 1531 away from the gear set 1535. One end of the pressure relief channel 1515 is connected to the accommodating chamber 1513, and the other end of the pressure relief channel 1515 is connected to the outside world. The air pressure valve 155 blocks the other end of the pressure relief channel 1515.

[0082] Specifically, since the rotating shaft 1533 can rotate along with the output shaft of the driving member 13 when the output shaft of the driving member 13 rotates, in this case, the gear group 1535 can also rotate and stir the cooling oil. Therefore, the cooling oil may splash under the stirring action of the gear group 1535. If the pressure relief channel 1515 is located between the two bearings 1531, the cooling oil may leak to the outside of the reducer 15 through the pressure relief channel 1515, which will cause the loss of cooling oil on the one hand; on the other hand, the cooling oil will cause pollution to the reducer 15 and other devices. Therefore, in the present application, the pressure relief channel 1515 is located on the side of the bearing 1531 away from the gear set 1535, and the air pressure valve 155 blocks the pressure relief channel 1515. On the one hand, this can ensure that the air pressure regulating function of the air pressure valve 155 in the accommodating chamber 1513 is normally realized; on the other hand, it can reduce or even avoid the cooling oil from leaking to the outside of the reducer 15 through the pressure relief channel 1515, thereby reducing the loss of cooling oil and preventing the cooling oil from contaminating the reducer 15 and other devices.

[0083] Please refer to Figures 3 and 6. In some embodiments, the first heat dissipation component 23 also includes a third delivery pipe 237, one end of the third delivery pipe 237 is connected to the first outlet 1333, and the other end is connected to the heat exchanger 21. The third delivery pipe 237 is used to transport the cooling medium flowing out of the first outlet 1333 to the heat exchanger 21. The first heat exchange circuit 30 also includes an inner cavity 2371 of the third delivery pipe 237.

[0084] Specifically, in some embodiments, when the first suction member 233 operates normally, the cooling medium in the second sub-channel 13313 can flow out to the inner cavity 2371 of the third delivery pipe 237 through the first outlet 1333, and enter the heat exchanger 21 through the third delivery pipe 237. As a result, the cooling medium realizes a heat exchange cycle in the first heat exchange circuit 30. After the cooling medium is cooled by the external coolant in the heat exchanger 21, the cooling medium can cool the driving mechanism 10 again through the first heat exchange circuit 30.

[0085] It is understandable that, in other embodiments, the first suction member 233 may also include multiple first suction members 233, and the multiple first suction members 233 are respectively arranged on the first delivery pipe 231, the second delivery pipe 235 and the third delivery pipe 237. Therefore, compared with including only one first suction member 233, the arrangement of multiple first suction members 233 can improve the working stability of the first suction member 233 and prevent the cooling medium from being unable to flow in the first heat exchange circuit 30 due to damage to a certain first suction member 233.

[0086] Referring to Figures 2 and 3 , in some embodiments, the second heat dissipation assembly 25 includes a first circulation conduit 251 and a second suction member 253. One end of the first circulation conduit 251 is connected to the heat exchanger 21, and the other end is connected to a cooling source in the external environment. The second suction member 253 is disposed on the first circulation conduit 251 and is used to draw external coolant from the cooling source through the first circulation conduit 251 into the heat exchanger 21. The second heat exchange circuit 40 includes an inner cavity 2511 of the first circulation conduit 251. It should be noted that in some embodiments, the second suction member 253 may be a pump or other device capable of suction.

[0087] Specifically, in some embodiments, when the second suction member 253 operates normally, the second suction member 253 can suck the external cooling liquid into the inner cavity 2511 of the first circulation pipe 251, and pump the external cooling liquid in the inner cavity 2511 of the first circulation pipe 251 into the heat exchanger 21, so that the external cooling liquid can cool the cooling medium in the heat exchanger 21.

[0088] In some embodiments, the second heat dissipation component 25 also includes a second circulation pipe 255, one end of the second circulation pipe 255 is connected to the heat exchanger 21, and the other end of the second circulation pipe 255 is connected to the cooling source of the external environment. The second suction member 253 is used to drive the external cooling liquid in the heat exchanger 21 to flow out to the cooling source of the external environment through the second circulation pipe 255. The second heat exchange circuit 40 also includes an inner cavity of the second circulation pipe 255.

[0089] Specifically, in some embodiments, when the second suction member 253 operates normally, the second suction member 253 can suck the external coolant in the heat exchanger 21 into the inner cavity of the second circulation pipe 255, and pump the external coolant in the inner cavity 2511 of the first circulation pipe 251 to the outside. As a result, the external coolant realizes a heat exchange cycle in the second heat exchange circuit 40. When the second suction member 253 is working, the second suction member 253 can continuously suck the external coolant to cool the cooling medium in the heat exchanger 21.

[0090] It is understandable that, in other embodiments, the second suction member 253 may also include multiple second suction members 253, and the multiple second suction members 253 are respectively arranged on the first circulation pipe 251 and the second circulation pipe 255. Therefore, compared with including only one second suction member 253, the provision of multiple second suction members 253 can improve the working stability of the second suction member 253 and prevent the external coolant from being unable to flow in the second heat exchange circuit 40 due to damage to a certain second suction member 253.

[0091] Referring to Figures 2, 3, 13, and 14, in certain embodiments, the heat exchanger 21 includes a heat exchange housing 211 and at least one heat exchange pipe 213. The heat exchange housing 211 defines a heat exchange cavity 2111. The heat exchange pipe 213 is disposed within the heat exchange cavity 2111. When a cooling medium and external coolant enter the heat exchanger 21, the cooling medium is located within the heat exchange cavity 2111 and outside the heat exchange pipe 213, while the external coolant is located inside the heat exchange pipe 213. The first heat exchange circuit 30 includes the heat exchange cavity 2111, and the second heat exchange circuit 40 includes the inner cavity of the heat exchange pipe 213.

[0092] Specifically, in some embodiments, the third delivery conduit 237 can communicate with the heat exchange chamber 2111 of the heat exchanger 21. Thus, under the suction action of the first suction member 233, the cooling medium that has absorbed heat from the drive mechanism 10 can enter the heat exchange chamber 2111. Furthermore, the first circulation conduit 251 communicates with the inner cavity of the heat exchange conduit 213. Thus, under the suction action of the second suction member 253, external coolant can enter the inner cavity of the heat exchange conduit 213. Thus, the external coolant can absorb heat from the cooling medium, thereby cooling the cooling medium. It is understood that the wall of the heat exchange conduit 213 serves as the heat transfer surface between the cooling medium and the external coolant.

[0093] In some embodiments, the heat exchange shell 211 is further provided with a first through-hole 2112 and a second through-hole 2113. The first delivery pipe 231 of the first heat dissipation component 23 is connected to the heat exchange chamber 2111 through the first through-hole 2112, and the third delivery pipe 237 of the first heat dissipation component 23 is connected to the heat exchange chamber 2111 through the second through-hole 2113. Thus, under the suction action of the first suction member 233, the cooling medium in the third delivery pipe 237 (the cooling medium that has absorbed the heat of the driving mechanism 10) can enter the heat exchange chamber 2111 through the second through-hole 2113, and the first delivery pipe 231 can output the cooling medium in the heat exchange chamber 2111 (the cooling medium cooled by the external coolant) to the electronic control component 11 through the first through-hole 2112.

[0094] In certain embodiments, the heat exchange housing 211 includes a housing body 2117 and two covers 2118. The housing body 2117 includes a first end and a second end. The first through-hole 2112 and the second through-hole 2113 of the heat exchange housing 211 are both provided through the housing body 2117. One of the two covers 2118 is mounted on the first end of the housing body 2117, and the other of the two covers 2118 is mounted on the second end of the housing body 2117.

[0095] In some embodiments, the shell body 2117 and the two covers 2118 may be connected by a non-detachable connection method such as bonding, welding, or integral molding, thereby preventing the shell body 2117 and the covers 2118 from separating during operation of the power device 100, thereby ensuring the operational stability of the power device 100. In other embodiments, the shell body 2117 and the two covers 2118 may be connected by a detachable connection method such as a threaded connection or a snap connection, thereby facilitating removal and replacement of damaged parts in the heat exchange chamber 2111 (e.g., corrosion of the heat exchange pipe 213).

[0096] Further, referring to FIG. 15 , in some embodiments, the shell body 2117 includes a first side 21171 and a second side 21173 opposite to each other, the first through-hole 2112 is provided on the first side 21171 of the shell body 2117 , and the second through-hole 2113 is provided on the second side 21173 of the shell body 2117 . Among them, when the movable device 1000 in water area is carried on the water surface, the first side 21171 of the shell body 2117 is the bottom of the shell body 2117 (the bottom of the shell body 2117 in the heat exchanger 21 as shown in Figure 2), and the second side 21173 of the shell body 2117 is the top of the shell body 2117 (the top of the shell body 2117 in the heat exchanger 21 as shown in Figure 2). Therefore, when the cooling medium enters the heat exchange cavity 2111 through the second through-hole 2113, the cooling medium can flow toward the first through-hole 2112 under the dual action of the suction force of the first suction member 233 and the gravity of the cooling medium itself. Compared with the cooling medium flowing toward the first through-hole 2112 only under the action of the suction force of the first suction member 233, the power consumption of the first suction member 233 is smaller, thereby reducing the power consumption of the power device 100.

[0097] In some embodiments, the heat exchanger 21 also includes a plurality of spaced barriers 219, and the plurality of barriers 219 are all arranged in the heat exchange cavity 2111. The barriers 219 are used to limit the bending flow of the cooling medium in the heat exchange cavity 2111, thereby increasing the flow time of the cooling medium in the heat exchange cavity 2111, improving the uniformity of contact between the cooling medium and the heat exchange pipe 213, and thus improving the cooling effect of the external coolant on the cooling medium.

[0098] In some embodiments, one end of one of the two adjacent blocking members 219 is connected to the first side 21171 of the shell body 2117, and the other end is spaced apart from the second side 21173 of the shell body 2117. The other of the two adjacent blocking members 219 has one end connected to the second side 21173 of the shell body 2117, and the other end is spaced apart from the first side 21171 of the shell body 2117.

[0099] Specifically, one of the two adjacent blocking members 219 extends from the first side 21171 of the shell body 2117 toward the second side 21173 of the shell body 2117 and is spaced apart from the second side 21173 of the shell body 2117. In other words, there is a gap between one of the two adjacent blocking members 219 and the second side 21173 of the shell body 2117; the other of the two adjacent blocking members 219 extends from the second side 21173 of the shell body 2117 toward the first side 21171 of the shell body 2117 and is spaced apart from the second side 21173 of the shell body 2117. The first side 21171 of 2117 is spaced, that is, there is a gap between the other of the two adjacent blocking members 219 and the first side 21171 of the shell body 2117. When the first suction member 233 operates normally, the cooling medium is limited by the setting of the blocking member 219, and can flow in a bent manner in the heat exchange cavity 2111, thereby increasing the flow time of the cooling medium in the heat exchange cavity 2111, so that the cooling medium can fully exchange heat with the external coolant, thereby improving the cooling effect of the external coolant on the cooling medium.

[0100] 16 , in other embodiments, the barrier 219 includes a first end 2191 and a second end 2193 relative to each other. The first end 2191 of the barrier 219 is connected to the first side 21171 of the shell body 2117, and the second end 2193 of the barrier 219 is connected to the second side 21173 of the shell body 2117. A through hole (not shown) is provided on the barrier 219. The through hole is located at the first end 2191 of the barrier 219, or the second end 2193 of the barrier 219, or between the first end 2191 of the barrier 219 and the second end 2193 of the barrier 219. The through holes on two adjacent barrier members 219 are staggered. Thus, the cooling medium can also flow in a zigzag manner in the heat exchange chamber 2111, thereby increasing the flow time of the cooling medium in the heat exchange chamber 2111, so that the cooling medium can fully exchange heat with the external coolant, thereby improving the cooling effect of the external coolant on the cooling medium.

[0101] Referring to Figures 2, 14, and 15, in certain embodiments, the heat exchange housing 211 further comprises a third through-hole 2114 and a fourth through-hole 2115. The third through-hole 2114 of the heat exchange housing 211 passes through one of the two covers 2118, and the fourth through-hole 2115 of the heat exchange housing 211 passes through the other of the two covers 2118. The heat exchanger 21 further comprises two spaced-apart mounting plates 215, which abut against the inner circumferential wall of the heat exchange housing 211 and, together with the heat exchange housing 211, form a heat exchange chamber 2111. The two mounting plates 215 are respectively passed through at both ends of the heat exchange pipe 213. The first circulation pipe 251 of the second heat dissipation assembly 25 communicates with one end of the heat exchange pipe 213 through the third through-hole 2114, and the second circulation pipe 255 of the second heat dissipation assembly 25 communicates with the other end of the heat exchange pipe 213 through the fourth through-hole 2115.

[0102] Specifically, the mounting plate 215 abuts the inner circumferential wall of the housing body 2117, and two mounting plates 215 are respectively passed through the ends of the heat exchange pipe 213. As a result, the ends of the heat exchange pipe 213 can respectively communicate with the third through-hole 2114 and the fourth through-hole 2115 on the two covers 2118. In other words, one end of the heat exchange pipe 213 can communicate with the first circulation pipe 251 connected to the third through-hole 2114, and the other end of the heat exchange pipe 213 can communicate with the second circulation pipe 255 connected to the fourth through-hole 2115. When the second suction member 253 is operating normally, external coolant can sequentially flow through the inner cavity 2511 of the first circulation pipe 251, the third through-hole 2114, the inner cavity of the heat exchange pipe 213, the fourth through-hole 2115, and the inner cavity of the second circulation pipe 255 before flowing out of the electronic control housing 111, thereby allowing the external coolant to cool the cooling medium and dissipate heat.

[0103] Please refer to Figures 13 to 15. In some embodiments, the heat exchanger 21 further includes a seal 217, which is arranged between the mounting plate 215 and the inner circumferential wall of the heat exchange shell 211. The seal 217 is used to seal the gap between the mounting plate 215 and the inner circumferential wall of the heat exchange shell 211.

[0104] Specifically, in certain embodiments, a seal 217 may be disposed between the mounting plate 215 and the inner circumferential wall of the housing 2117. Thus, the seal 217 can seal the gap between the mounting plate 215 and the inner circumferential wall of the housing 2117, preventing the cooling medium in the heat exchange cavity 2111 from escaping through the gap to the exterior of the heat exchanger 21, thereby reducing or even eliminating cooling medium loss. Materials for the seal 217 include, but are not limited to, rubber, plastic, or silicone. Alternatively, the seal 217 may be sealing grease.

[0105] In certain embodiments, the outer wall of the heat exchange pipe 213 is provided with a plurality of spaced-apart protrusions 2131, which extend from the outer wall of the heat exchange pipe 213 toward the inner wall of the heat exchange housing 211. Specifically, the provision of the protrusions 2131 can increase the contact area between the heat exchange pipe 213 and the cooling medium, that is, increase the heat exchange area between the external coolant and the cooling medium, thereby improving the heat exchange efficiency between the external coolant and the cooling medium and ensuring the heat exchange effect of the external coolant on the cooling medium.

[0106] Since the temperature of the cooling medium flowing into the heat exchange cavity 2111 from the first perforation 2112 is relatively high, the temperature of the cooling medium will cause the air pressure in the heat exchange cavity 2111 to increase, thereby increasing the flow velocity of the cooling medium in the heat exchange cavity 2111, and further causing a decrease in heat transfer efficiency; and, the increase in air pressure in the heat exchange cavity 2111 will also cause the structure of the heat exchanger 21 (such as the heat exchange shell 211 or the heat exchange pipe 213, etc.) to be damaged, thereby shortening the service life of the heat exchanger 21. Therefore, please refer to Figures 13 to 15 again. In this application, the heat exchanger 21 also includes a regulating member 218, which is installed in the heat exchange housing 211. The regulating member 218 is used to adjust the air pressure in the heat exchange chamber 2111. Therefore, the setting of the regulating member 218 can, on the one hand, prevent the increase in air pressure in the heat exchange chamber 2111, which leads to an increase in the flow rate of the cooling medium in the heat exchange chamber 2111, that is, prolong the residence time of the cooling medium in the heat exchange chamber 2111, thereby improving the heat transfer efficiency; on the other hand, it can prevent structural damage to the heat exchanger 21, thereby extending the service life of the heat exchanger 21. It should be noted that in some embodiments, the regulating member 218 can be a breathable cap or an air pressure valve 155, etc.

[0107] In some embodiments, the heat exchange shell 211 includes an expansion space 2116, which extends from the inner wall of the heat exchange shell 211 in a direction away from the center of the heat exchange chamber 2111. The expansion space 2116 is connected to the heat exchange chamber 2111. When the temperature of the cooling medium in the heat exchange chamber 2111 is greater than a preset temperature, the cooling medium enters the expansion space 2116.

[0108] Specifically, when the cooling medium flows into the heat exchange cavity 2111 through the first perforation 2112, the air pressure in the heat exchange cavity 2111 increases, causing the volume of the cooling medium to increase. Therefore, the cooling medium is likely to leak directly from the regulating member 218 to the outside of the heat exchanger 21, resulting in cooling medium loss, which in turn affects the cooling effect of the cooling medium on the drive mechanism 10. Furthermore, direct leakage of the cooling medium through the regulating member 218 may also damage the regulating member 218, shortening its service life. Therefore, in the present application, when the temperature of the cooling medium is greater than the preset temperature, the cooling medium can enter the expansion space 2116. At this time, the air pressure in the heat exchange chamber 2111 can be released to a certain extent, that is, the regulating member 218 does not need to release the air pressure in the heat exchange chamber 2111. Therefore, the setting of the expansion space 2116 can prevent the cooling medium from leaking directly from the regulating member 218 to the outside of the heat exchanger 21, thereby reducing or even avoiding the loss of the cooling medium on the one hand, and ensuring the cooling effect of the cooling medium on the drive mechanism 10; on the other hand, it can prevent the leaked cooling medium from causing damage to the regulating member 218, thereby extending the service life of the regulating member 218.

[0109] It will be appreciated that, in one embodiment, the regulating member 218 is mounted on the heat exchange housing 211 and is directly connected to the heat exchange chamber 2111. Thus, when the air pressure in the heat exchange chamber 2111 increases to a level requiring release, the regulating member 218 can directly release the air pressure in the heat exchange chamber 2111. In another embodiment, the regulating member 218 is mounted on the heat exchange housing 211 and is directly connected to the expansion space 2116. Thus, when the air pressure in the heat exchange chamber 2111 increases, thereby increasing the air pressure in the expansion space 2116, and when the air pressure in the expansion space 2116 increases to a level requiring release, the regulating member 218 can release the air pressure in the expansion space 2116.

[0110] Please refer to Figures 13 to 15 again. In some embodiments, the heat exchange shell 211 is further provided with a fifth through-hole 2119. The fifth through-hole 2119 is connected to the heat exchange cavity 2111 and the outside. The fifth through-hole 2119 is used to allow the cooling medium in the heat exchange cavity 2111 to flow out to the outside.

[0111] Specifically, in some embodiments, the heat exchanger 21 may also include a sealing member 216. When the heat exchanger 21 is operating normally, the sealing member 216 can seal the fifth perforation 2119, thereby preventing the cooling medium in the heat exchange chamber 2111 from leaking. When there is too much cooling medium or maintenance is required, the user can open the sealing member 216 to allow the heat exchange chamber 2111 to be connected to the outside world through the fifth perforation 2119. In this case, at least part of the cooling medium in the heat exchange chamber 2111 can flow out to the outside world through the fifth perforation 2119.

[0112] Referring to Figures 2 and 17, an embodiment of the present application provides a propeller 300. The propeller 300 includes the power device 100 of any of the above-mentioned embodiments. The power device 100 includes a drive mechanism 10 and a heat dissipation mechanism 20. The drive mechanism 10 includes an electronic control component 11, a drive member 13, and a reducer 15. The electronic control component 11 is electrically connected to the drive member 13 and is used to control the operation of the drive member 13. The drive member 13 is connected to the reducer 15, and the reducer 15 is used to transmit the driving force of the drive member 13 to the outside. The heat dissipation mechanism 20 includes a heat exchanger 21, a first heat dissipation component 23, and a second heat dissipation component 25. The first heat dissipation component 23 is used to drive the cooling medium to flow between the heat exchanger 21 and the drive mechanism 10. The cooling medium is used to cool the drive mechanism 10. The second heat dissipation component 25 is used to drive the external coolant to flow between the outside and the heat exchanger 21. The external coolant is used to cool the cooling medium and exchanges heat with the cooling medium in a non-contact manner in the heat exchanger 21. The propeller 300 includes but is not limited to inboard motors, outboard motors (outboard motors), propeller motors, trolling motors and other water propulsion equipment.

[0113] In certain embodiments, the propeller 300 may further include a propeller 310, which can be connected to the reducer 15 of the drive mechanism 10. For example, if the propeller 300 is an inboard engine, the reducer 15 of the power unit 100 may be connected to the propeller 310 via a stern shaft. When the electronic control component 11 controls the operation of the driver 13, that is, when the electronic control component 11 controls the output shaft of the driver 13 to rotate, the rotating shaft 1533 of the driver 13 can drive the rotating shaft 1533 of the reduction body 153 of the reducer 15 to rotate, thereby causing the rotating shaft 1533 to drive the propeller 310 to rotate, thereby providing propulsion.

[0114] In the propeller 300 of the present application, the heat dissipation mechanism 20 includes a heat exchanger 21, a first heat dissipation component 23 and a second heat dissipation component 25. The first heat dissipation component 23 is used to drive the cooling medium to flow between the heat exchanger 21 and the driving mechanism 10 to cool the driving mechanism 10. The second heat dissipation component 25 is used to drive the external coolant to flow between the outside and the heat exchanger 21, and to perform non-contact heat exchange with the cooling medium in the heat exchanger 21 to cool the cooling medium. Therefore, compared with the traditional external coolant that directly cools and dissipates heat to the driving mechanism, the impurities in the external coolant in the present application will not affect the heat absorption effect of the cooling medium, thereby ensuring the heat dissipation efficiency of the heat dissipation mechanism 20 to the driving mechanism 10 and improving the stability of the operation of the propeller 300.

[0115] Referring to Figures 2 and 17 , embodiments of the present application provide a mobile device 1000 for use in water. The mobile device 1000 includes a main body 200 and a propeller 300 according to any of the aforementioned embodiments, with the propeller 300 being mounted within the main body 200. Specifically, in certain embodiments, at least a portion of the propeller 300 may be disposed within the main body 200. The propeller 300 is an inboard engine, with the power unit 100 of the propeller 300 disposed within the main body 200. A propeller 310 extends from the main body 200 and is positioned in the water. Thus, when the propeller 310 rotates, the propeller 310 can propel the main body 200 across the water.

[0116] In the movable device 1000 for water areas of the present application, the heat dissipation mechanism 20 includes a heat exchanger 21, a first heat dissipation component 23 and a second heat dissipation component 25. The first heat dissipation component 23 is used to drive the cooling medium to flow between the heat exchanger 21 and the driving mechanism 10 to cool the driving mechanism 10. The second heat dissipation component 25 is used to drive the external coolant to flow between the outside and the heat exchanger 21, and to perform non-contact heat exchange with the cooling medium in the heat exchanger 21 to cool the cooling medium. Therefore, compared with the traditional external coolant that directly cools and dissipates heat for the driving mechanism, the impurities in the external coolant in the present application will not affect the heat absorption effect of the cooling medium, thereby ensuring the heat dissipation efficiency of the heat dissipation mechanism 20 on the driving mechanism 10 and improving the stability of the operation of the movable device 1000 for water areas.
