In the embodiment of the present application, the electric propulsion device 20 is composed of a power battery (not shown in the figure), an electric motor 21, a propeller 22, and the like, and accessories thereof. The motor 21 is composed of a power motor 100, a motor controller 600, cables, etc. and accessories thereof, and can convert electric energy into mechanical energy. In a practical implementation, the electric motor 21 may also be referred to as an electric propulsion system.
As shown in fig. 1, the motor engine 21 is disposed on the horn 14 or the nacelle 15, the propeller 22 is disposed on one side of the motor engine 21, the motor engine 21 is in transmission connection with the propeller 22, and the motor engine 21 is used for driving the propeller 22 to rotate.
Fig. 2 is a schematic structural diagram of an electric propulsion device 20 according to an embodiment of the present application.
As shown in fig. 2, the motor engine 21 includes a power motor 100 and a motor controller 600, the power motor 100 is in transmission connection with the propeller 22, the motor controller 600 is electrically connected with the power motor 100, and the motor controller 600 is used for controlling the power motor 100 to drive the propeller 22 to rotate.
As shown in fig. 2, the motor controller 600 is located inside the second stator 120 of the power motor 100. In addition, the motor controller 600 includes a power module, a bus capacitor, a driving board, a main control board, and the like. The motor controller 600 may be used to control the drive motor 400 and/or the pitch motor and/or the drive pump motor, in addition to the power motor 100 for controlling the rotation of the drive propeller 22.
During operation, the power motor 100 continuously accumulates heat therein, which causes the temperature inside the power motor 100 to rise. In view of this, the motor engine 21 further includes a heat dissipation system for dissipating heat from the power motor 100, ensuring the operation performance of the power motor 100.
In some embodiments, as shown in fig. 2, the electric motor 21 may be an integrated electric motor, which is a unitary structure in which the power motor 100 and the heat dissipation system are integrated together. Wherein in a practical implementation the integrated electric motor may also be referred to as an integrated electric propulsion system. The integrated motor engine has compact structure, is beneficial to saving the space of the aircraft, and is beneficial to reducing the volume of the aircraft. In addition, the power motor 100 and the heat dissipation system are integrated together, so that the assembly of the aircraft can be facilitated, the assembly process is reduced, and the assembly efficiency is improved.
As shown in fig. 2, the heat dissipation system includes a fan 300, a driving motor 400, and a heat sink 200. Wherein, driving motor 400 is connected with fan 300 transmission, and driving motor 400 is fixedly connected with the casing of power motor 100. For example, the housing of the power motor 100 includes a motor rear cover, and the driving motor 400 is fixedly connected to the motor rear cover to fix the driving motor 400.
The radiator 200 is used for radiating heat of the power motor 100, and the fan 300 is used for radiating heat of the radiator 200. The driving motor 400 is used for driving the fan 300 to rotate, generating air flow blowing to the radiator 200, and performing air cooling and heat dissipation on the radiator 200.
In order to remove heat generated from the power motor 100, the power motor 100 has a cooling flow passage, an inlet end of which is communicated with an outlet end of the radiator 200, an outlet end of which is communicated with an inlet end of the radiator 200, and the radiator 200 and the cooling flow passage are used to form a cooling medium circuit through which a cooling medium flows.
The cooling medium may be a single coolant (e.g., water/glycol mixture, oil, etc.) or a mixture of multiple coolants.
The cooling medium flows in the cooling flow passage, and can perform liquid-cooled heat dissipation on the power motor 100. The cooling medium absorbs heat generated by the power motor 100 and is changed from a low-temperature cooling medium to a high-temperature cooling medium, and when the high-temperature cooling medium flows to the radiator 200, the heat of the power motor 100 is transferred to the radiator 200.
The heat sink 200 has a large heat dissipation area and can rapidly release heat to the external environment. In addition, the air flow generated by the fan 300 can also act on the surface of the radiator 200, thereby improving the heat dissipation efficiency of the radiator 200.
In one embodiment, as shown in fig. 2, the power motor 100, the driving motor 400, the fan 300, and the heat sink 200 are sequentially arranged in the axial direction of the power motor 100 (e.g., in the Z direction of fig. 2) such that the axial dimension of the motor generator 21 in the axial direction of the power motor 100 is long, and thus the axial dimension of the electric propulsion device 20 is long. However, during the flight of the aircraft, the axial direction of the electric propulsion device 20 shown in fig. 2 is perpendicular to the direction of travel of the aircraft, which increases the drag experienced by the aircraft.
In addition, in order to secure the heat radiation effect of the heat sink 200, the space between the heat sink 200 and the fan 300 needs to be set to a large space, which will also further increase the axial dimension of the electric propulsion device 20.
In view of this, the embodiment of the present application provides an electric motor 21 with a shorter axial dimension, and the electric motor 21 is configured to shorten the stacking dimension of the fan 300 and the driving motor 400 in the axial direction of the power motor 100 by embedding at least a portion of the fan 300 inside the driving motor 400, so that the arrangement of the electric motor 21 in the axial direction is more compact, and the purpose of shortening the axial dimension of the electric motor 21 is achieved, thereby reducing the axial dimension of the electric propulsion device 20 and further reducing the resistance of the aircraft during flight.
In addition, the fan 300 is arranged by utilizing the depth space inside the driving motor 400, so that the distance between the fan 300 and the radiator 200 can still be set to be a large distance, the heat dissipation performance of the radiator 200 is ensured, and the axial dimension of the electric propulsion device 20 is reduced. In addition, the distance between the radiator 200 and the power motor 100 may be set to be a small distance, so as to meet the requirement that air enters the air duct 210 of the radiator 200, and achieve heat dissipation of the radiator 200.
A specific structure of embedding the fan 300 inside the driving motor 400 will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.
Fig. 3 is a schematic cross-sectional view of another electric propulsion device 20 according to an embodiment of the present application, and fig. 4 is a schematic cross-sectional view of the radiator 200, the driving motor 400 and the fan 300 in fig. 3.
Specifically, as shown in fig. 3, the radiator 200 is connected to the housing of the power motor 100, the driving motor 400 is connected to the radiator 200, and the driving motor 400 is located at a side of the radiator 200 away from the power motor 100 in the axial direction of the power motor 100, that is, the driving motor 400 and the power motor 100 are respectively located at both sides of the radiator 200.
As shown in fig. 4, the driving motor 400 has a top end and a bottom end in an axial direction (Z direction in fig. 4) of the driving motor 400, and the driving motor 400 has a receiving through hole 510 penetrating the top end and the bottom end. The heat sink 200 is positioned at the top end of the driving motor 400 and is covered on the receiving through-hole 510, that is, the heat sink 200 covers one side of the receiving through-hole 510.
At least a portion of the fan 300 is located inside the receiving through-hole 510, for example, as shown in fig. 4, a portion of the fan 300 is located inside the receiving through-hole 510, and of course, the entire fan 300 may be disposed inside the receiving through-hole 510. The driving motor 400 is in transmission connection with the fan 300, the driving motor 400 is used for driving the fan 300 to rotate, and in the process that the driving motor 400 drives the fan 300 to rotate, the fan 300 blows air to the radiator 200 so as to perform air cooling and heat dissipation on the radiator 200.
The greater the depth of the fan 300 protruding into the accommodating through hole 510 in the axial direction of the power motor 100 (in the Z direction in fig. 4), the lower the stacking height of the fan 300 and the driving motor 400 in the axial direction of the power motor 100, and the shorter the axial length of the motor engine 21. When the axial direction of the electric propulsion device 20 is perpendicular to the forward direction of the aircraft during the flight of the aircraft, the axial length of the electric propulsion device 20 is short, which can reduce the drag experienced by the aircraft.
In addition, by embedding the fan 300 inside the receiving through hole 510, the fan 300 is directly connected with the driving motor 400 without connecting the fan 300 with the driving motor 400 through a connection shaft, and there is no gap between the fan 300 and the driving motor 400 along the axial direction of the fan 300, thereby reducing the vibration of the fan 300.
In the axial direction of the power motor 100, at least a portion of the heat sink 200 is spaced apart from the power motor 100, for example, as shown in fig. 3, a portion of the heat sink 200 is spaced apart from the power motor 100, and another portion of the heat sink 200 is located inside the power motor 100, that is, a portion of the heat sink 200 is disposed outside the power motor 100 and spaced apart from the power motor 100, and another portion of the heat sink 200 extends into the power motor. In this way, the axial length of the heat sink 200 after stacking with the power motor 100 is facilitated to be reduced. Of course, in some embodiments, the heat sink 200 may also be spaced apart from the power motor 100.
The heat sink 200 has air duct 210, and the air duct 210 communicates with the accommodating through-hole 510 and the area between the heat sink 200 and the power motor 100.
In the embodiment of the present application, the fan 300 is used to draw air from the radiator 200 toward one side of the power motor 100 into the air duct 210, for example, as shown in fig. 3, and the fan 300 blows air (as shown by solid arrows in fig. 3) in the area between the power motor 100 and the radiator 200 toward the inside of the air duct 210. Air in the air duct 210 enters the inside of the accommodating through hole 510 and flows toward the side of the driving motor 400 away from the heat sink 200.
Of course, in some embodiments, the fan 300 may also suck air into the inside of the accommodating through hole 510 at a side of the driving motor 400 away from the heat sink 200. Wherein air within the receiving through-hole 510 may enter the air duct 210 until flowing into the area between the power motor 100 and the radiator 200.
Fig. 5 is a schematic perspective view illustrating the cooperation of the heat sink 200, the driving motor 400 and the fan 300 in fig. 3, fig. 6 is an exploded schematic view of the heat sink 200, the driving motor 400 and the fan 300 in fig. 3, and fig. 7 is a schematic perspective view illustrating the heat sink 200 in fig. 6.
The specific structure of the heat sink 200 is not limited herein. Illustratively, as shown in fig. 7, the heat sink 200 includes a liquid inlet 230, a liquid outlet 240, and a body 220. Wherein, the body 220 is spaced apart from the power motor 100 (as shown in fig. 3), and the body 220 has an air duct 210 (as shown in fig. 7). The liquid inlet portion 230 is used for communicating with an outlet end of a cooling flow passage of the power motor 100, and the liquid outlet portion 240 is used for communicating with an inlet end of the cooling flow passage of the power motor 100. The liquid inlet portion 230 is used for allowing the cooling medium to enter the radiator 200, and the liquid outlet portion 240 is used for allowing the cooling medium to leave the radiator 200. In some embodiments, a portion of the liquid inlet 230 is located inside the power motor 100, and a portion of the liquid outlet 240 is located inside the power motor 100, which helps to reduce the spacing between the radiator 200 and the power motor 100, further reducing the axial length of the motor engine 21.
As shown in fig. 7, the number of liquid inlet portions 230 and the number of liquid outlet portions 240 are one, however, the number of liquid inlet portions 230 may be plural, and the number of liquid outlet portions 240 may be plural.
As shown in fig. 6, the driving motor 400 includes a first rotor 410 and a first stator 420. As shown in fig. 4, an end of the first rotor 410 away from the heat sink 200 is fixedly connected to the fan 300, and the first rotor 410 is spaced from the heat sink 200. The first stator 420 is located inside the first rotor 410, the first stator 420 is sleeved on the fan 300 and rotationally connected with the fan 300, and the first stator 420 is fixedly connected with the radiator 200. Thus, the first rotor 410 is rotatably connected to the first stator 420 by the fan 300, and the rotational connection between the first rotor 410 and the first stator 420 is achieved. In addition, the fan 300 is fixedly connected with the first rotor 410, and the first rotor 410 directly drives the fan 300 to rotate while the first rotor 410 rotates without arranging a connecting shaft in the axial direction of the fan 300.
With continued reference to fig. 6, the driving motor 400 further includes a bearing 430, the bearing 430 is sleeved on the fan 300, the bearing 430 is located inside the first stator 420, and the fan 300 is rotatably connected to the first stator 420 through the bearing 430. The first stator 420 is rotatably coupled to the fan 300 by means of a bearing 430 such that the fan 300 and the first rotor 410 are movably fixed to the first stator 420. In addition, the structure of the first stator 420 rotatably connected to the fan 300 can be simplified by implementing the first stator 420 rotatably connected to the fan 300 using the bearing 430.
Illustratively, as shown in fig. 5, the first rotor 410 is fixedly connected to the fan 300 by a fastener 700, the fastener 700 being a screw, a bolt, or the like. The first rotor 410 is fixedly connected with the fan 300 through the fastening member 700, so that the first rotor 410 rotates while driving the fan 300 to rotate together.
Fig. 8 is a schematic perspective view of the first rotor 410 in fig. 6.
As shown in fig. 8, the first rotor 410 includes a first magnetic steel 412 and a first rotor housing 411, and the first magnetic steel 412 is fixedly connected to an inner sidewall of the first rotor housing 411. As shown in fig. 4, the first rotor housing 411 is arranged at intervals with the radiator 200, one end of the first rotor housing 411 away from the radiator 200 is fixedly connected with the fan 300, and the fan 300 is driven to rotate while the first rotor housing 411 rotates.
Fig. 9 is a schematic perspective view of the first stator 420 in fig. 6, and fig. 10 is a schematic cross-sectional view of the first stator 420 shown in fig. 9.
As can be seen in conjunction with fig. 9 and 10, the first stator 420 includes a first stator winding 422 and a first stator support 421. The first stator winding 422 is located outside the first stator support 421 and inside the first rotor housing 411 (as shown in fig. 4), and an air gap is formed between the first stator winding 422 and the first magnetic steel 412. As shown in fig. 4, the first stator 421 has a receiving through hole 510, and the first stator 421 is sleeved on the outer side of the bearing 430 and is rotatably connected to the fan 300 through the bearing 430, and the first stator 421 is fixedly connected to the heat sink 200. In this way, the first stator 420 can be coupled to each other with the first rotor 410 such that the first rotor 410 rotates. Meanwhile, the first stator 420 can accommodate the fan 300 and is rotatably connected with the fan 300.
As shown in fig. 4, the bearing 430 is located inside the receiving through hole 510, i.e., the first stator bracket 421 is sleeved on the outer ring of the bearing 430. Air between the power motor 100 and the radiator 200 enters the accommodating through hole 510 through the air duct 210, and can cool the bearing 430 by air.
To reduce the difficulty of assembling the bearing 430 with the first stator frame 421, in some embodiments, as shown in fig. 9, the receiving through-hole 510 includes a first through-hole section 511 and a second through-hole section 512. The first through hole section 511 is located between the heat sink 200 and the second through hole section 512, the inner diameter of the first through hole section 511 is smaller than the inner diameter of the second through hole section 512, the first through hole section 511 and the second through hole section 512 enclose a first step 4211 (as shown in fig. 10), the first step 4211 abuts against the top end surface of the bearing 430 (as shown in fig. 4), and the bearing 430 is fixed by the first step 4211, so as to prevent the bearing 430 from moving towards the heat sink 200 along the axial direction of the fan 300.
During operation of the driving motor 400, heat is continuously generated inside the driving motor 400, and in order to bring the temperature inside the driving motor 400 within an allowable range, in some possible implementations, as shown in fig. 9, a plurality of air flow holes 520 are provided at the first stator 420 near the top end of the driving motor 400, and in particular, a plurality of air flow holes 520 are provided at the first stator support 421 near the top end of the driving motor 400. The plurality of air flow holes 520 are spaced apart along the circumferential direction of the fan 300, and the axial direction of the air flow holes 520 is parallel to the axial direction of the fan 300. As shown in fig. 4, the radiator 200 covers one side of the airflow through-hole 520, and the airflow through-hole 520 communicates with the air duct 210 of the radiator 200. When the fan 300 blows air in the region between the power motor 100 and the heat sink 200 toward the driving motor 400, the air flow passing through the air duct 210 can enter the inside of the air flow through hole 520 (as shown in fig. 4), then enter the air gap between the first magnetic steel 412 and the first stator winding 422, and finally exit from the gap between the first rotor 410 and the heat sink 200. In this way, the air inside the air duct 210 is used to cool and dissipate the heat of the first magnetic steel 412 and the first stator winding 422, so as to ensure the output power of the driving motor 400.
To further increase the heat dissipation efficiency of the bearing 430, in some possible implementations, as shown in fig. 9 and 10, the surface of the first stator 420 contacting the bearing 430 is provided with a plurality of first openings 530. The part of the first stator 420, which is in contact with the bearing 430, is a first stator bracket 421, and the first stator bracket 421 is sleeved on the outer ring of the bearing 430, so that the first opening 530 is disposed on the surface of the first stator bracket 421, which is in contact with the bearing 430. The first openings 530 are in one-to-one correspondence with the airflow through holes 520, and each first opening 530 communicates with the corresponding airflow through hole 520. In addition, each of the first openings 530 communicates with the receiving through-hole 510. The bearing 430 is located inside the accommodating through hole 510, and when the peripheral wall of the outer ring of the bearing 430 contacts with the inner wall of the first stator 420, the bearing 430 contacts with the air in the air flow through hole 520 through the first opening 530 (as shown in fig. 4), so that the air directly contacts with the bearing 430, and the heat dissipation effect of the bearing 430 can be further improved.
The second through hole section 512 is in contact with the peripheral wall of the outer ring of the bearing 430, and the first opening 530 may be disposed on the surface of the second through hole section 512 in contact with the bearing 430, and the opening area of the first opening 530 may be increased to increase the area of the bearing 430 in direct contact with air, further increasing the heat dissipation effect of the bearing 430.
In some embodiments, the opening depth of the first opening 530 is the same as the width of the bearing 430 in the axial direction of the bearing 430, at which time the bearing 430 covers the first opening 530. In other embodiments, the opening depth of the first opening 530 may be smaller or larger than the width of the bearing 430 along the axial direction of the bearing 430.
Illustratively, as shown in fig. 9 and 10, the first opening 530 is a bar-shaped notch extending in the axial direction of the power motor 100. Of course, the first opening 530 may be a bar-shaped through hole extending in the axial direction of the power motor 100.
Fig. 11 is a schematic perspective view of the fan 300 in fig. 6.
Illustratively, as shown in FIG. 11, the fan 300 includes a ring 310, a hub 330, and a plurality of blades 320. At least a portion of the ring member 310 is located at the outside of the first stator 420, as shown in fig. 4, a portion of the ring member 310 is located at the outside of the first stator 420 and fixedly connected with the first rotor 410, and another portion of the ring member 310 is located at the inside of the first stator 420, that is, a portion of the ring member 310 is located at the inside of the receiving through hole 510, and another portion of the ring member 310 is located at the outside of the receiving through hole 510 and fixedly connected with the first rotor 410. The ring 310 is fixedly connected to the first rotor housing 411 by fasteners 700. The hub 330 is located inside the ring 310, the hub 330 being the center of the fan 300. The plurality of blades 320 are positioned between the ring member 310 and the hub 330, the plurality of blades 320 are arranged at intervals along the circumference of the center of the fan 300, and both ends of each blade 320 are fixedly connected with the hub 330 and the ring member 310, respectively. Thus, the fan 300 can be fixedly connected with the first rotor 410, and the first rotor 410 rotates and drives the fan 300 to rotate.
As shown in fig. 4, the bearing 430 is sleeved on the outer wall of the ring member 310, the bearing 430 is fixedly connected with the ring member 310, and the bearing 430 enables the ring member 310 to be rotatably connected with the first stator 420, so that the fan 300 can be movably connected with the first stator 420.
In some embodiments, as shown in fig. 11, the ring member 310 includes a first ring segment 311 and a second ring segment 312, the first ring segment 311 is located between the second ring segment 312 and the heat sink 200, the outer diameter of the first ring segment 311 is smaller than the outer diameter of the second ring segment 312, the first ring segment 311 and the second ring segment 312 form a second step 313, the second step 313 abuts against a bottom end surface of the bearing 430 (as shown in fig. 4), and the bearing 430 is fixed by the second step 313, so as to prevent the bearing 430 from moving in a direction away from the heat sink 200.
To further reduce vibration of the fan 300 during operation, in some implementations, the distance between the fan blades 320 and the heat sink 200 (as shown by L in fig. 4) decreases gradually from inside to outside along the center of the fan 300, and the width of the fan blades 320 in the axial direction of the fan 300 increases gradually, such that the fan blades 320 have an arc-shaped structure. The center of mass of the arc-shaped blades 320 is positioned on the bearing 430, so that the bearing 430 is supported at the center of mass of the fan 300, further reducing vibration generated when the fan 300 is operated.
In some possible implementations, the outer circumference of the ring 310 forms a plurality of second openings 550 with the first rotor 410, the plurality of second openings 550 being spaced apart along the circumference of the ring 310, the second openings 550 being in communication with the airflow through holes 520. Specifically, the ring 310, the first rotor 410, and the first stator 420 enclose a cavity, and the second opening 550 communicates with the airflow through-hole 520 through the cavity. In this way, air inside the air flow hole 520 may enter the cavity, a portion of air inside the cavity exits from the second opening 550, and another portion of air inside the cavity exits from the gap between the first rotor 410 and the heat sink 200, improving efficiency of exhausting air inside the driving motor 400.
To direct air inside the drive motor 400 away from the second opening 550, in some possible implementations, the fan 300 further includes a plurality of guide vanes 340, the guide vanes 340 being located outside the first stator 420 and inside the cavity, the guide vanes 340 being fixedly connected to the ring member 310, a portion of the guide vanes 340 being located between the first stator 420 and the ring member 310 along an axial direction of the ring member 310, a height of the guide vanes 340 along the axial direction of the ring member 310 being greater than or equal to an opening depth of the second opening 550 along the axial direction of the ring member 310. In this way, the deflector 340 is able to direct the air at the outlet of the airflow aperture 520 towards the second opening 550, ensuring, on the one hand, that the air in the cavity exits from the second opening 550 and, on the other hand, also to the air gap between the first stator 420 and the first rotor 410.
In some embodiments, as shown in fig. 11, the guide vane 340 and the ring member 310 are integrally formed, and the guide vane 340 and the ring member 310 may be manufactured at the same time, and the connection strength between the guide vane 340 and the ring member 310 may be improved.
As shown in fig. 11, the guide vane 340 has an arc-shaped plate structure. Of course, the guide vane 340 may have other structures, for example, the guide vane 340 may have a flat plate structure.
As shown in fig. 5, each second opening 550 corresponds to a plurality of guide vanes 340, and at this time, each second opening 550 is divided into a plurality of sub-openings by the corresponding plurality of guide vanes 340, so as to guide the air inside the driving motor 400 to exit.
The aircraft also has a mounting cavity 16, at least a portion of the propeller 22 being located outside of the mounting cavity 16 and at least a portion of the power motor 100 being located inside of the mounting cavity 16. The mounting cavity 16 is provided in the part of the horn 14, nacelle 15, etc. carrying the electric propulsion device 20, and the nacelle 15 is described below with the mounting cavity 16 as an example.
The mounting cavity 16 has mounting holes, air inlet holes (as shown in fig. 3 a) and air outlet holes 18 (as shown in fig. 3). Wherein the mounting hole, the air outlet hole 18 and the air inlet hole are all communicated with the inside and the outside of the mounting cavity 16. At least a portion of the power motor 100 is positioned through the mounting aperture into the interior of the mounting cavity 16. The air outlet 18 is located at a side of the fan 300 away from the propeller 22, and the air outlet 18 is used for exhausting air inside the installation cavity 16. An air inlet hole is provided to communicate with a region between the power motor 100 and the radiator 200, the air inlet hole being for air outside the installation cavity 16 to enter the inside of the installation cavity 16. In this way, air outside the installation cavity 16 can enter the inside of the installation cavity 16 through the air inlet hole, enter the region between the power motor 100 and the radiator 200, and then enter the air duct 210 under the driving of the fan 300.
The air inlet hole (shown in fig. 3 a) is close to the area between the power motor 100 and the heat sink 200, and when the power motor 100 drives the propeller 22 to rotate, the air flow generated by the rotation of the propeller 22 enters the area between the heat sink 200 and the power motor 100 through the air inlet hole, and the fan 300 sucks the air in the area between the heat sink 200 and the power motor 100 into the air duct 210, blows the air in the air duct 210 toward the air outlet hole 18, and finally leaves the mounting cavity 16 from the air outlet hole 18. In this way, the heat sink 200 is radiated by the air flow generated by the rotation of the propeller 22, and the heat radiation capability of the heat sink 200 can be improved by the high flow rate of the air flow generated by the rotation of the propeller 22.
The number of the air inlet holes is multiple, and the multiple air inlet holes are arranged at intervals along the axial direction of the fan 300 so as to improve the air quantity entering the installation cavity 16 and allow air to enter from the circumferential direction of the installation cavity 16.
In some embodiments, a first air intake passage is formed between the power motor 100 and the inner wall of the mounting cavity 16, and an outlet end of the first air intake passage communicates with a region between the power motor 100 and the radiator 200, and an inlet end of the first air intake passage is used for air flow generated by rotation of the propeller 22 to enter. In this way, the air flow generated by the rotation of the propeller 22 enters between the radiator 200 and the power motor 100 through the first air inlet channel, and the air quantity of the air flow generated by the rotation of the propeller 22 entering between the radiator 200 and the power motor 100 is increased, so that the heat dissipation capability of the radiator 200 is further improved.
In other embodiments, the power motor 100 further includes a second air intake passage, an outlet end of which communicates with a region between the power motor 100 and the radiator 200, and an inlet end of which is used for air flow generated by rotation of the propeller 22 to enter. The air flow generated by the rotation of the propeller 22 can also enter the area between the radiator 200 and the power motor 100 through the second air inlet channel, so as to further improve the heat dissipation capability of the radiator 200.
In still other embodiments, the power motor 100 further includes a third air intake passage, an outlet end of which communicates with a region between the power motor 100 and the radiator 200, and an inlet end of which is for an air flow generated by rotation of the propeller 22 to enter. The air flow generated by the rotation of the propeller 22 can also enter the area between the radiator 200 and the power motor 100 through the third air inlet channel, so as to further improve the heat dissipation capability of the radiator 200.
It should be noted that at least one of the first air intake passage, the second air intake passage, and the third air intake passage may be provided in the aircraft to increase the area between the radiator 200 and the power motor 100, so as to improve the heat dissipation capability of the radiator 200.
Specifically, as shown in fig. 3, the power motor 100 includes a second stator 120 and a second rotor 110, and the second rotor 110 is fixedly connected with the propeller 22. The second rotor 110 includes a second magnetic steel 112 and a second rotor housing 111, the second magnetic steel 112 is connected to the inside of the second rotor housing 111, the second stator 120 includes a second stator winding 121 and a second stator bracket 122, and the second stator winding 121 is connected to the second stator bracket 122 and is located between the second stator bracket 122 and the second magnetic steel 112.
Wherein a gap region between the second stator 120 and the second rotor 110 forms a second air intake passage. The second rotor housing 111 has a drainage through hole 113, the drainage through hole 113 communicates with an inlet end of the second air intake passage, and the inlet end of the drainage through hole 113 is used for introducing an air flow generated by rotation of the propeller 22 into the interior of the second air intake passage.
As shown in fig. 3, the second rotor housing 111 includes a rotor through hole 114, an outlet end of the rotor through hole 114 communicates with a region between the power motor 100 and the radiator 200, an inlet end of the rotor through hole 114 is used for allowing air flow generated by rotation of the propeller 22 to enter, and the rotor through hole 114 forms a third air inlet channel.
In the above, heat is radiated from the bearing 430 and the driving motor 400 by the air flow passing through the air duct 210, specifically, the air flow passing through the air duct 210 enters the inside of the driving motor 400 through the air flow through hole 520 and air-cools the first stator winding 422 and the first magnetic steel 412 to radiate heat, and then exits from the gap between the first rotor 410 and the heat sink 200 and/or the second opening 550. However, in some scenarios, the bearing 430 and the drive motor 400 may also be cooled by air outside the mounting cavity 16, such as with air outside the nacelle 15.
How the air outside the nacelle 15 dissipates heat from the drive motor 400 and the bearings 430 is described below with reference to the drawings.
Fig. 12 is a schematic structural diagram of yet another electric propulsion device 20 according to an embodiment of the present application.
Fig. 12 differs from fig. 3 in that the plurality of air inlet holes includes first air inlet holes 17 and second air inlet holes 19 disposed at intervals in the axial direction of the fan 300. The first air inlet hole 17 is provided to communicate with a region between the power motor 100 and the radiator 200. The second air intake hole 19 is provided in communication with the second opening 550 of the electric motor 21. Specifically, in the axial direction of the power motor 100, the second air intake 19 is located between the first air intake 17 and the air outlet 18, the second air intake 19 is close to the second opening 550 of the electric engine 21, the second air intake 19 communicates with the second opening 550 through the mounting cavity 16, and the second air intake 19 is configured to allow air outside the mounting cavity 16 to enter the second opening 550. The second air inlet hole 19 is far from the propeller 22 along the axial direction of the fan 300, and the temperature of the air at the second air inlet hole 19 and outside the nacelle 15 is low, so that the heat dissipation efficiency of the driving motor 400 and the bearing 430 can be further improved by radiating the driving motor 400 and the bearing 430 through the low-temperature air.
The number of the second air inlet holes 19 is plural, and the second air inlet holes 19 surround the fan 300 and are arranged at intervals along the circumferential direction of the fan 300.
When the fan 300 rotates, the pressure in the cavity is smaller than the pressure outside the nacelle 15, the cavity and the environment outside the nacelle 15 form a negative pressure relationship, and the air outside the nacelle 15 flows into the interior of the mounting cavity 16 from the second air inlet 19, then flows into the interior of the cavity, then flows to the air gap between the first stator 420 and the first rotor 410 and the interior of the air flow through hole 520, dissipates heat from the bearing 430, the first magnetic steel 412 and the first stator winding 422, and finally exits from the gap between the first rotor 410 and the heat sink 200 and the accommodating through hole 510.
When the bearing 430 and the driving motor 400 are cooled by the air outside the nacelle 15, the second opening 550 corresponds to an air inlet in function, so that the air outside the nacelle 15 enters the inside of the cavity. At the same time, the air guide 340 guides the air outside the nacelle 15 into the air flow hole 520 to radiate heat from the bearing 430 and the first rotor 410.
In summary, when any one of the air intake holes is provided to communicate with the area between the power motor 100 and the radiator 200, the bearing 430 and the driving motor 400 are cooled by the air passing through the air duct 210. When the plurality of air inlet holes are divided into the first air inlet hole 17 and the second air inlet hole 19, the air outside the nacelle 15 performs air cooling and heat dissipation on the bearing 430 and the driving motor 400 through the second air inlet hole 19 by combining the negative pressure principle.
