First Embodiment

[0032] Referring to FIG. 1 to FIG. 4, the present disclosure provides a motor device with a coil dissipation structure, and the motor device includes a motor 1. The motor 1 includes a shell 10, a stator 20, and a rotor 30, the latter two of which are disposed inside of the shell 10. The stator 20 includes an iron core assembly 21. The iron core assembly 21 is substantially in a ring shape. The rotor 30 penetrates through a center of the iron core assembly 21. As shown in FIG. 3, in the present embodiment, the iron core assembly 21 of the stator 20 is formed by assembling a plurality of iron core blocks 22. In each of the iron core blocks 22, a winding portion 221 is formed at one side of the iron core block facing toward the rotor 30, two winding grooves 222 are respectively disposed at two sides of the winding portion 221, and a coil 23 winds surroundingly around the two winding grooves 222 of the winding portion 221 to form a plurality of armatures. The rotor 30 is disposed at a center of the stator 20 and includes a shaft 31. The shaft 31 penetrates and protrudes from an end plate 11 of the shell 10. When each of the coils 23 of the stator 20 is provided with electricity, each of the coils 23 and the rotor 30 generate a rotating magnetic field to drive the rotor 30 to rotate.

[0033] Referring to FIG. 3 to FIG. 8, an outer periphery of the coil 23 of each of the iron cores 22 is covered by a thermal conduction glue 25, and the thermal conduction glue 25 penetrates through a plurality of gaps of the coil 23 to a gap between the coil 23 and the winding grooves 222 of the iron core block 22. Since the coil 23 is in contact with the iron core block 22 through the thermal conduction glue 25, heat of the coil 23 can be transferred to the iron core block 22 through the thermal conduction glue 25. Therefore, a heat dissipation efficiency of the stator 20 can be increased, and the motor 1 in operation can be prevented from internally accumulating heat.

[0034] It should be noted that the iron core assembly 21 in the present embodiment is an assembled structure detachably formed by the iron core blocks 22, but the present disclosure is not limited thereto. In other embodiments, the iron core assembly 21 can be an integral structure formed by a whole silicon steel sheet.

[0035] Referring to FIG. 3, a plurality of thermal conduction glues 25 or a thermal paste having a high thermal conductivity can be filled between an outer surface of the iron core assembly 21 and the shell 10 of the motor 1 so that heat can be transferred to the shell 10. Therefore, a heat dissipation path is provided so that the heat of the coil 23 can be transferred to the iron core assembly 21 through the thermal conduction glues 25, and then transferred to the shell 10 through the iron core assembly 21.

[0036] In each of the winding portions 221, the two winding grooves 222 are provided with an insulation sleeve 24 disposed thereon. The insulation sleeve 24 is made of insulating plastic materials, and the coil 23 surrounds an outer periphery of the insulation sleeve 24 so that the insulation sleeve 24 is between the coil 23 and the two winding grooves 222. The insulation sleeve 24 can be a spacer and an insulator between the coil 23 and the two winding grooves 222 so that the coil 23 is not directly in contact with the iron core assembly 21, and the coil 23 and the iron core assembly 21 are insulated from each other.

[0037] Referring to FIG. 6 to FIG. 8, in each of the iron core blocks 22 of the present embodiment, the insulation sleeve 24 surrounds an outer periphery of the winding portion 221, and the insulation sleeve 24 has two side substrates 241. When the insulation sleeve 24 is disposed at the winding portion 221 of the iron core block 22, the two side substrates 241 are abutted against two groove bottom surfaces 223 of the two winding grooves 222. In the present embodiment, a plurality of hollow portions 242 are formed on the two side substrates 241. Therefore, the two groove bottom surfaces 223 of the two winding grooves 222 are not covered by the insulation sleeve 24 at positions corresponding to the hollow portions 242.

[0038] It should be noted that in the present embodiment, the insulation sleeve 24 is made of insulating plastic materials and can be integrally formed in an over-molding manner to be disposed at the outer periphery of the winding portion 221. However, in other embodiments, the insulation sleeve 24 can be an assembly having a plurality of members. For example, the insulation sleeve 24 can be divided into at least two detachable members, and the at least two detachable members can be engaged with the winding portion 221.

[0039] Referring to FIG. 7 and FIG. 8, an assembling method of each of the iron core blocks 22 of the present disclosure is described as below. After the insulation sleeve 24 is disposed on the winding portion 221, the coil 23 is disposed to surround the outer periphery of the two winding grooves 222 and the insulation sleeve 24. Therefore, after the coil 23 is disposed to surround the outer periphery of the winding portion 222 and the insulation sleeve 24, the insulation sleeve 24 is sandwiched between the coil 23 and the two winding grooves 222. An inner surface of the coil 23 and the groove bottom surfaces 223 are spaced apart by the insulation sleeve 24 with a distance. Since the insulation sleeve 24 is provided with the hollow portions 242, the thermal conduction glues 25 at positions corresponding to the hollow portions 242 can be in contact with the groove bottom surfaces 223 of the two winding grooves 222 through the hollow portions 242. Therefore, the thermal conduction glues 25 can be filled in a gap between the coil 23 and the two winding portions 222.

[0040] In the present disclosure, the thermal conduction glues 25 can be disposed by a method described below. After the coil 23 is disposed to surround the outer periphery of the winding portion 222 and the insulation sleeve 24, the thermal conduction glues 25 cover the outer periphery of the coil 23 in an over-molding manner through a molding process. When the thermal conduction glues 25 undergo an injection molding process, air in a mold is suctioned away so that the mold is in a vacuum state, and bubbles of the thermal conduction glues 25 disappear. Afterwards, the thermal conduction glues 25 enter the coil 23 through gaps between the coil 23 and are in contact with the groove bottom surfaces 223 of the two winding grooves 222 through the hollow portions 242. Therefore, after the injection molding process is finished, the thermal conduction glues 25 cover the outer periphery of the coil 23 and the gaps of the coil 23, and the gap between the coil 23 and the two winding grooves 222 is filled with the thermal conduction glues 25. Compared with conventional plastics, the thermal conduction glues 25 have a better thermal conductivity, so that the heat of the coil 23 can be quickly transferred from the thermal conduction glues 25 to the iron core assembly 21.

[0041] In addition, in the present disclosure, after the insulation sleeve 24 is disposed on the winding portion 221, a first thermal conduction glue disposing step, a winding step, and a second thermal conduction glue disposing step can be implemented in sequence. The first thermal conduction glue disposing step is implemented by disposing a part of the thermal conduction glues 25 on the groove bottom surfaces 223 of the winding grooves 222 and filling up the hollow portions 242 of the insulation sleeves 24 with the thermal conduction glues 25. The winding step is implemented by disposing the coil 23 to surround the outer periphery of the winding grooves 222 and the insulation sleeve 24. The second thermal conduction glue disposing step is implemented by covering the outer periphery of the coil 23 with the thermal conduction glues 25 in a molding manner.

Second Embodiment

[0042] Referring to FIG. 9 to FIG. 11 for the second embodiment of the present disclosure, a basic structure and technical characteristics of the second embodiment that are similar to that of the first embodiment will not be reiterated herein. The difference between the second embodiment and the first embodiment of the present disclosure is that in each of the iron core blocks 22, an insulation structure between the coil 23 and the winding portion 221 is changed into two insulation sleeves 24 respectively disposed at two ends of the winding portion 221 along a longitudinal direction of the iron core block 22. The two insulation sleeves 24 respectively have two side substrates 241. The two insulation sleeves 24 are correspondingly disposed at two ends of the winding portion 221. Two ends of the side substrates 241 of the two insulation sleeves 24 are opposite to each other, and the two side substrates 241 of the two insulation sleeves 24 only partially cover two end portions of the two groove bottom surfaces 223 so that the hollow portions 242 are formed between the two ends of the two side substrates 241 of the two insulation sleeves 24. Therefore, the two groove bottom surfaces 223 between the two ends of the two the side substrates 241 of the two insulation sleeves 24 are exposed from the hollow portions 242.

[0043] Referring to FIG. 11, the thermal conduction glues 25 of each of the iron core blocks 22 can be in contact with the two groove bottom surfaces 223 of the two winding grooves 222 through the hollow portions 242 between the two insulation sleeves 24, so that the thermal conduction glues 25 can be filled in the gap between the coil 23 and the winding grooves 222.

[0044] The present embodiment shows that the structure of the insulation sleeve 24 can be changed according to practical requirements, but the present disclosure is not limited thereto.

Third Embodiment

[0045] Referring to FIG. 12 to FIG. 14 for the third embodiment of the present disclosure, in the third embodiment, a plurality of thermal conduction members 40 and a heat dissipation device 50 are provided. The thermal conduction members 40 can be heat pipes, or rods or cylinders made of copper. Each of the iron core blocks 22 has a connection groove 26. The connection grooves 26 are configured to be connected to the thermal conduction members 40. Each of the thermal conduction members 40 has a heat absorbing end 41 and a cooling end 42. In each of the iron core blocks 22, the heat absorbing end 41 of the thermal conduction member 40 is inserted into the connection groove 26, and the cooling end 42 of the thermal conduction member 40 penetrates through the end plate 11 of the motor 1 from an inner portion of the shell 10 and extends out of the end plate 11. The heat dissipation device 50 is disposed outside of the end plate 11, and the cooling end 42 of the thermal conduction member 40 is connected to the heat dissipation device 50.

[0046] More specifically, a working principle of the heat pipes is described below. When each of the thermal conduction members 40 is a heat pipe, a working fluid in the thermal conduction member 40 evaporates into a gas phase after the heat absorbing end 41 absorbs heat, and the working fluid in the gas phase is transferred to the cooling end 42 through a central space in the thermal conduction member 40 so that heat can be carried to the cooling end 42 by the working fluid that is evaporated into the gas phase. Afterwards, the working fluid is condensed into a liquid phase at the cooling end 42, and the working fluid is transferred back to the heat absorbing end 41 by capillary action. Through a circulation of the working fluid, the heat is continuously transferred from the heat absorbing end 41 having a high temperature to the cooling end 42 having a low temperature 42. Through the thermal conduction members 40, heat of the stator 20 can be quickly transferred to the heat dissipation device 50 so that heat inside of the motor 1 can be directly transferred to the heat dissipation device 50 outside of the shell 10 of the motor 1. Therefore, heat dissipation effects of the coil 23 can be further improved.

[0047] It is worth mentioning that in the present embodiment, the configuration of the thermal conduction members 40, the iron core assembly 21, and the heat dissipation device 50 can be changed according to practical requirements. For example, the cooling ends 42 of the thermal conduction members 40 can be connected to a heat dissipation block or a metal plate (not shown) and be connected to the heat dissipation device 50 through the heat dissipation block or the metal plate. Or, the heat absorbing ends 41 of the thermal conduction members 40 can be connected to the iron core assembly 21 through a thermal conduction component (e.g., a metal rack) so that heat of the iron core assembly 21 can be indirectly transferred to the thermal conduction members 40 through the thermal conduction component.

[0048] In conclusion, the effects of embodiments of the present disclosure are described below. The heat of the coil 23 of each of the iron core blocks 22 can be quickly transferred to the iron core assembly 21 of the stator 20 through the thermal conduction glues 25, and can be transferred to the shell 10 of the motor 1 or other heat dissipation device through the iron core assembly 21 to cool down the coil 23. Therefore, a heat dissipation effect of the coil 23 of the motor 1 can be improved, and a heat accumulation inside of the motor 1 can be prevented.

[0049] The foregoing description of the exemplary embodiments of the disclosure has been presented only for the purposes of illustration and description and is not intended to be exhaustive or to limit the disclosure to the precise forms disclosed. Many modifications and variations are possible in light of the above teaching.

[0050] The embodiments were chosen and described in order to explain the principles of the disclosure and their practical application so as to enable others skilled in the art to utilize the disclosure and various embodiments and with various modifications as are suited to the particular use contemplated. Alternative embodiments will become apparent to those skilled in the art to which the present disclosure pertains without departing from its spirit and scope.
