Abstract

A rotorcraft together with a heat dissipation structure for a motor are provided. The motor includes a body and a revolving shaft driven by the body, and the heat dissipation structure for the motor includes: a casing being a hollow structure having a top opening and an air inlet in a bottom portion, in which the body is disposed inside of the casing, and an air channel is formed between a circumferential edge of the body and an inner wall of the casing; a head cover connected to the revolving shaft of the motor synchronously and provided with a plurality of air flow picks on the lower surface thereof; and a mounting stand fixed to an upper surface of the head cover.

Claims (31)

1. A heat dissipation structure for a motor, the motor comprising a body and a revolving shaft driven by the body, wherein the heat dissipation structure comprises:

a casing being a hollow structure having a top opening and an air inlet in a bottom portion, wherein the casing is configured to receive the body, and an air channel is formed between a circumferential edge of the body and an inner wall of the casing;

a head cover connected to the revolving shaft synchronously and covering the top opening, wherein the head cover is driven to rotate by the motor, a first gap communicating the air channel with an outside is defined by a lower surface of the head cover and a top end face of the casing, and the lower surface of the head cover is provided with a plurality of air flow picks; and

a mounting stand fixed to an upper surface of the head cover, covering an axial end of the revolving shaft, and configured to be connected with a propeller.

2. The heat dissipation structure according to claim 1 , wherein the plurality of air flow picks is arranged in a circumferential array around a central axis of the head cover, and an extension direction of each air flow pick is coincident with a radial direction of the head cover.

3. The heat dissipation structure according to claim 2 , wherein the top opening is formed with an upper end, which is open, of the casing.

4. The heat dissipation structure according to claim 2 , wherein the top opening is formed with a top portion, which is open, of the air channel in the casing.

5. The heat dissipation structure according to claim 2 , wherein the body is detachably mounted with respect to the casing.

6. The heat dissipation structure according to claim 1 , wherein a second gap exists between an inner end of each air flow pick and a center of the head cover.

7. The heat dissipation structure according to claim 6 , wherein the body is detachably mounted with respect to the casing.

8. The heat dissipation structure according to claim 1 , wherein the plurality of air flow picks is arranged to be spiral in shape.

9. The heat dissipation structure according to claim 1 , wherein each air flow pick is triangular in shape, and a distance between a top end surface and a bottom end surface of each air flow pick decreases from one end to another end.

10. The heat dissipation structure according to claim 1 , wherein the upper surface of the head cover is provided with a water guiding surface, and the water guiding surface has a height reducing from a center of the water guiding surface to an edge of the water guiding surface.

11. The heat dissipation structure according to claim 1 , wherein an edge of the head cover is located outside of a top edge of the casing.

12. The heat dissipation structure according to claim 1 , wherein the revolving shaft is provided with a support, and the head cover and the mounting stand are fixed to the support.

13. The heat dissipation structure according to claim 1 , wherein the air inlet is configured to be a hole arranged in a bottom portion of a side wall of the casing.

14. The heat dissipation structure according to claim 13 , wherein a plurality of holes is arranged in the bottom portion of the side wall of the casing.

15. The heat dissipation structure according to claim 1 , wherein the top opening is formed with an upper end, which is open, of the casing.

16. The heat dissipation structure according to claim 1 , wherein the top opening is formed with a top portion, which is open, of the air channel in the casing.

17. The heat dissipation structure according to claim 1 , wherein the body is detachably mounted with respect to the casing.

18. The heat dissipation structure according to claim 1 , wherein each air flow picks is triangular in shape, and a distance between a top end surface and a bottom end surface of each air flow picks decreases from a radially inner end to a radially outer end, and the upper surface of the head cover has a height reducing radially outwards from a center of the upper surface to an edge of the upper surface, to function as a water guiding surface.

19. A rotorcraft comprising:

a motor comprising a body and a revolving shaft driven by the body; and

a heat dissipation structure for the motor, wherein the heat dissipation structure comprises:

a casing being a hollow structure having a top opening and an air inlet in a bottom portion, wherein the body is disposed inside of the casing, and an air channel is formed between a circumferential edge of the body and an inner wall of the casing;

a head cover connected to the revolving shaft synchronously and covering the top opening in the casing, wherein the head cover is driven to rotate by the motor, a first gap communicating the air channel and an outside is defined by a lower surface of the head cover and a top end face of the casing, and the lower surface of the head cover is provided with a plurality of air flow pick; and

a mounting stand fixed to an upper surface of the head cover and covering an axial end of the revolving shaft.

20. The rotorcraft according to claim 19 further comprises:

an airframe;

an arm having a first end connected to the airframe;

wherein the casing of heat dissipation structure is disposed to the second end of the arm, and the propeller is connected to a second end of the arm and driven to rotate by the motor.
