Abstract

An aircraft motor driver having a power board and a motor, wherein the power board includes a base plate and a power element, and the power element is located at the edge of the base plate. The motor is located near the middle of the power board and is electrically connected to the terminal block on the base plate, and the motor driver is provided with an airflow circulation channel for providing the airflow used for heat dissipation of the power element. The aircraft motor driver arranges the power element on the outer edge of the power board, so that the motor of the driver can be assembled near the middle of the power board, reducing the assembly difficulty and assembly volume of the driver, and, so that the power board can be cooled by air cooling mode of air convection.
