Abstract
Description
Protective top cover suitable for motors with mixed-flow ventilation structure Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of motor technology, specifically to a protective top cover suitable for motors with mixed-flow ventilation structures. Background Technology
[0002] With the advancement of the national dual-carbon policy, the requirements for motor power density are constantly increasing. Adopting a mixed-flow structure improves ventilation and heat dissipation efficiency, thereby increasing product power density. For Y-series motors, since the mixed-flow ventilation structure uses a single large fan, a protective top cover is necessary to reduce motor noise. However, current protective top covers offer weak splash protection. In outdoor environments, high-speed air, airborne particles, and splashing water directly enter the internal airflow path of the motor's energized parts, reducing the motor's lifespan.
[0003] Summary of the Invention
[0004] In order to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art, the purpose of this invention is to provide a protective top cover suitable for motors with mixed-flow ventilation structures.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by the present invention to solve its technical problem is: a protective top cover suitable for a mixed-flow ventilation structure motor, comprising a cover body and a bottom plate, wherein the bottom of the cover body is fixedly connected to the bottom plate, and the cover body is divided into an air inlet chamber and an air outlet chamber by a main partition.
[0006] The air inlet chamber is equipped with a baffle plate, which divides the air inlet chamber into a front air inlet space, an upper air inlet space, and a rear air inlet space. The front air inlet space is located on the side of the baffle plate closer to the main baffle plate, and the rear air inlet space is located on the side of the baffle plate away from the main baffle plate. The upper air inlet space is located above the front air inlet space and the rear air inlet space, and connects the front air inlet space and the rear air inlet space. The side plate of the front air inlet space is equipped with louvers for external air intake, and the bottom plate at the lower end of the rear air inlet space is equipped with a through-hole for introducing air into the tail end of the motor.
[0007] The bottom plate at the lower end of the air outlet chamber is provided with a through opening for the air from the front end of the motor to enter the air outlet chamber. An air outlet is opened on the wall of the air outlet chamber opposite to the main partition. A steel mesh is installed at the air outlet. An inclined baffle is provided below the air outlet of the air outlet chamber. The inclined baffle extends obliquely upward from below the air outlet toward the inner side of the air outlet chamber.
[0008] In this invention, the air inlet chamber adopts louvers and a tortuous air inlet space structure, and the air outlet of the air outlet chamber adopts an inclined baffle and a steel mesh, which can withstand water splashing from different directions and prevent high-speed air and airborne particles from directly entering the internal air path of the motor's live parts, achieving an IP24 protection level; at the same time, it reduces the mechanical noise brought by the large fan of the motor in the mixed flow ventilation structure.
[0009] Furthermore, the flow guide baffle includes a vertical part, a horizontal extension part, and an upper bend part. The lower end of the vertical part is fixedly connected to the base plate. The horizontal extension part extends horizontally forward from the top of the vertical part and is located above the louver in the height direction. The upper bend part bends upward from the front end of the horizontal extension part.
[0010] The preferred design described above results in a simple and strong baffle structure that allows air to circulate within the intake chamber, reducing the amount of rain, snow, and suspended particles entering the motor.
[0011] Furthermore, sound-absorbing cotton is attached to the inner wall of the air outlet chamber.
[0012] By adopting the above-mentioned preferred solution, the ventilation noise of the motor is further reduced.
[0013] Furthermore, louvers are installed on both the left and right side panels of the forward airflow space.
[0014] By adopting the above-mentioned preferred solution, the air intake volume is increased, and the heat dissipation efficiency of the motor is improved.
[0015] Furthermore, the angle between the inclined baffle and the vertical direction is 20-30°, and the length of the inclined baffle is greater than 1 / 2 of the opening length of the air outlet in the height direction.
[0016] By adopting the above-mentioned preferred scheme, the blocking effect of rain, snow and suspended particles at the air outlet is improved.
[0017] Furthermore, multiple lifting rings are fixedly connected to the outer wall of the cover.
[0018] The above-mentioned preferred scheme facilitates the hoisting of the cover and improves installation convenience.
[0019] Furthermore, a connecting plate is provided on the bottom plate located on the outside of the cover, and the connecting plate is fixedly connected to the motor via a locking device.
[0020] The preferred design described above facilitates the installation of the cover and the motor. Attached Figure Description

[0032] As shown in Figure 1, in some embodiments of the present invention, the flow guide baffle 41 includes a vertical portion 411, a horizontal extension portion 412, and an upper bend portion 413. The lower end of the vertical portion 411 is fixedly connected to the base plate 20. The horizontal extension portion 412 extends horizontally forward from the top of the vertical portion 411 and is located above the louver 45 in the height direction. The upper bend portion 413 bends upward from the front end of the horizontal extension portion 412. The beneficial effect of adopting the above technical solution is that the flow guide baffle includes a vertical portion, a horizontal extension portion, and an upper bend portion. The lower end of the vertical portion is fixedly connected to the base plate. The horizontal extension portion extends horizontally forward from the top of the vertical portion and is located above the louver in the height direction. The upper bend portion bends upward from the front end of the horizontal extension portion.
[0033] As shown in Figure 1, in some embodiments of the present invention, sound-absorbing cotton 54 is attached to the inner wall of the air outlet chamber 50. The beneficial effect of adopting the above technical solution is that it further reduces the ventilation noise of the motor.
[0034] In other embodiments of the present invention, louvers 45 are installed on both the left and right sides of the forward airflow space 42. The beneficial effect of adopting the above technical solution is that louvers are installed on both the left and right sides of the forward airflow space.
[0035] As shown in Figure 1, in some other embodiments of the present invention, the angle between the inclined baffle 53 and the vertical direction is 20-30°, and the length of the inclined baffle 53 is greater than half the opening length of the air outlet 51 in the height direction. The beneficial effect of adopting the above technical solution is to improve the blocking effect on rain, snow and suspended particles at the air outlet.
[0036] As shown in Figure 2, in some embodiments of the present invention, a plurality of lifting rings 61 are fixedly connected to the outer wall of the cover 10.

It also includes a temperature sensor, a humidity sensor, and a controller installed outside the enclosure. The controller is signal-connected to the temperature sensor, humidity sensor, first electric actuator, and second electric actuator. The controller receives the external temperature and humidity signals detected by the temperature and humidity sensors, processes them, and issues command signals to control the operation of the first and second electric actuators. The lower the temperature value collected by the temperature sensor, the larger the angle between the horizontal extension of the flow guide baffle controlled by the first electric actuator and the horizontal plane, and the smaller the angle between the inclined baffle controlled by the second electric actuator and the vertical direction. The higher the humidity value collected by the humidity sensor, the larger the angle between the horizontal extension of the flow guide baffle controlled by the first electric actuator and the horizontal plane, and the smaller the angle between the inclined baffle controlled by the second electric actuator and the vertical direction. Different weighting coefficients can be set for the influence of temperature and humidity on the opening angle of the flow guide baffle and the inclined baffle to balance the blocking effect of external rain, snow, and suspended particles with the heat dissipation efficiency of the motor.
