MOTOR WITH HEAT DISSIPATION STRUCTURE

摘要

A motor includes a substantially cylindrical housing, a rotor assembly, a cover, and a cooling fan. The cooling fan is installed at one end of a rotating shaft of the rotor assembly to induce airflow. The cover, which is mounted to the housing, is provided with a plurality of wind-caching projections, each of which is located above one upstream through hole defined on the housing and faces towards the cooling fan. The wind-catching projections can receive the airflow induced by the cooling fan and guides the airflow to enter the housing via the upstream through holes to dissipate the heat accumulated in the motor, so that the motor can be prevented from damages due to heat accumulation. Therefore, the performance and service life of the motor can be increased.

1. In a motor including a substantially cylindrical housing, a rotor assembly, a cover, and a cooling fan, the housing having a circumferential wall which terminates at a flat closure wall and opens out at an opening opposite to the flat closure wall, the flat closure wall of the housing being provided with a first bearing at its center and defining a plurality of downstream through holes, the circumferential wall of the housing defining a plurality of upstream through holes, the rotor assembly being located in the housing, the cover being provided with a second bearing at its center and mounted to the housing for sealing the opening of the housing, the cooling fan being mounted at one end of a rotating shaft of the rotor assembly, near the cover; wherein the improvement comprises:
the cover is provided with a plurality of wind-catching projections around its circumference, such that each wind-collecting projection is located above one of the upstream through holes of the housing, wherein each wind-catching projection defines an air guiding channel facing towards the cooling fan and communicating with one of the upstream through holes of the housing, so that the airflow induced by the cooling fan can easily pass through the air guiding channels and the upstream through holes to enter the housing, and can go out of the housing via the downstream through holes to take away the heat generated in the motor, so that heat is not easy to accumulate in the motor, thereby increasing the performance and service life of the motor.
