Motor assembly with integrated cooling means and enclosed compartment for electronic circuitry

摘要

A motor assembly includes a structural unit for mounting a motor, for mounting and enclosing electronic circuitry, and for providing a corridor for air to flow and cool the motor and/or the electronic circuitry. The motor assembly includes a substantially water-resistant motor that rotationally drives a fan for cooling the motor and/or rotationally drives a propeller for providing propulsion to watercraft. The electronic circuitry of the motor assembly receives and transmits instructions to a command post by way of electronic signals and distributes power to the motor. The structural unit seals the circuitry from the surrounding environment.

主权项

1. A motor assembly comprising:
an electric motor; motor control circuitry in electrical communication with the electric motor; and a structural unit including: a compartment defined at least by an interior wall and opposing side walls, the motor control circuitry being received in the compartment, the compartment being configured to enclose and seal the motor control circuitry therein, and the motor being mounted to the structural unit in a position adjacent to the interior wall opposite the compartment; and at least two flanges extending from the opposing side walls, the at least two flanges being configured to match a preconfigured external mounting configuration.
