The invention relates to an air guider installed in a grinding machine tool, and more particularly to an air guider guides a first heat dissipation airflow entering from a casing to flow toward a top of a motor.
It is found that the motor of a grinding machine tool is prone to generate thermal energy after being used for a long time. Although the existing grinding machine tools are equipped with a fan on a side of the motor, and the fan rotates with an output shaft and outputs a wind current toward the motor; however, the wind current can only flow toward the side of the motor facing the fan, resulting in the heat on the side of the conventional motor that does not face the fan cannot be dissipated, which causes uneven heat dissipation of the motor and the thermal energy on the motor will continue to accumulate and transfer to the motor casing.
Further, the existing motors are mostly arranged at a position at which the user holds the grinding machine tool. In order to reduce dust flowing into the machine tool, the conventional grinding machine tools employ a machine tool casing to seal off the inside of the machine body, resulting in the gas inside the machine tool being incapable of flowing. After the motor has been used for a long time, a large amount of thermal energy is prone to accumulate on the side of the motor that does not face the fan, and is transferred to the casing of the grinding machine tool through thermal radiation, which causes the casing of the grinding machine tool to heat up and thus is unfavorable for the user to hold.
In order to solve the aforementioned problem that it is not easy to dissipate heat inside the grinding machine tool, U.S. Pat. No. 7,270,598 discloses a conventional grinding machine tool technology that introduces external air into the inside of a grinding machine tool to dissipate heat. Specifically, the conventional grinding machine tool uses a dust suction tube to suck the dust-containing gas generated during grinding in order to change the gas pressure inside the machine tool, so that external air can enter into the machine tool and then enter into the dust suction tube through an air inlet. The external air passes through the motor while flowing toward the dust suction tube and dissipates heat from the motor. However, since the conventional heat dissipation mechanism is such that the flow direction of the external air after flowing into the machine tool is different from the flow direction of the dust-containing airflow, the external air and the dust-containing airflow easily interfere with each other and cause turbulence. Furthermore, when the conventional dust suction tube extracts dust, the dust suction airflow has to enter into the dust suction tube through the space inside the machine tool, resulting in the grinding machine tool being incapable of blocking the dust in the dust suction airflow from flowing into the grinding machine tool, and therefore the dust is prone to accumulate on the conventional motor and other electronic components to affect the operation of the components.
In addition, in order to solve the aforementioned problems, patents such as CN 110270930A and U.S. Pat. No. 9,408,513B no longer use the conventional heat dissipation mechanism for heat dissipation, that is, the grinding machine tools disclosed in patents CN 110270930A and U.S. Pat. No. 9,408,513B are not equipped with an air inlet through which external air enters, instead employ the casings of the grinding machine tools to seal off the inside of the machine tools in order to reduce dust accumulation. Further, the motors and the grinding machine tool casings in patents CN 110270930A and U.S. Pat. No. 9,408,513B are arranged spacedly apart from each other, thereby reducing the thermal energy accumulated by the motors from being transferred to the grinding machine tool casings. However, the grinding machine tools of CN 110270930A and U.S. Pat. No. 9,408,513B can still only dissipate heat locally on the motors, the motors still have the problem of uneven heat dissipation, and the heat dissipation solution of the motors not touching the casings of the grinding machine tools can only reduce the speed at which heat on the motors is transferred to the casings, but cannot specifically solve the problems of thermal energy accumulation on the motors and transfer of heat from the motors to the casings. Furthermore, since the conventional fan cannot introduce external air into the machine tool, the fan can only drive the gas inside the machine tool to form a wind current. After the conventional grinding machine tool has been used for a long time, heat accumulated on the motor and circuit board inside the grinding machine tool will cause the temperature of the gas inside the machine tool to rise, and the wind current generated by the fan will also heat up and cannot provide effective heat dissipation for the motor, resulting in the machine tool casing will still receive thermal energy from the motor and become hot. In addition, since the conventional grinding machine tool has a closed structure, and external air cannot flow into the machine tool to cool down the air inside the machine tool, the casing of the grinding machine tool may be affected by the internal air and heat up, which is unfavorable for the user to hold.
A main object of the invention is to solve the problem that the conventional grinding machine tool with a closed casing being incapable of specifically reducing hotness of the machine tool casing. In order to achieve the above object, the invention provides an air guider disposed in a grinding machine tool. The grinding machine tool comprises a casing and a motor disposed in the casing. The casing comprises a head for disposing the motor and a body formed with at least one air inlet. The air guider comprises a main body, and an ascending diversion portion integrally formed with the main body, the main body is disposed at a junction between the head and the body. The ascending diversion portion is located on a side of the main body facing the body, and the ascending diversion portion comprises a main guide surface which guides a first heat dissipation airflow entering from the air inlet to flow toward a top of the motor, and two auxiliary guide surfaces which are respectively disposed on two sides of the main guide surface to generate a second heat dissipation airflow.
In one embodiment, the air guider comprises two descending diversion portions respectively connected to two sides of the ascending diversion portion, and the two descending diversion portions are integrally formed with the main body.
In one embodiment, at least one of the two descending diversion portions tapers from a part thereof connected to the ascending diversion portion toward a direction opposite from the ascending diversion portion.
In one embodiment, at least one of the two descending diversion portions gradually expands from a part thereof connected to the ascending diversion portion toward a direction opposite from the ascending diversion portion.
In one embodiment, the ascending diversion portion extends from a bottom edge of the main body to reach a top edge of the main body, and a width of the ascending diversion portion at the bottom edge of the main body is smaller than a width of the ascending diversion portion at the top edge of the main body.

The drive assembly 14 includes a circuit board 141 provided in the casing 11, a motor 142 electrically connected to the circuit board 141, and an airflow generating member 143 rotating synchronously with the motor 142. Specifically, the motor 142 is placed from an open side of the motor cover 117 and is partially shielded by the motor cover 117. The airflow generating member 143 is located on a side of the motor 142 facing the grinding member 30. After the airflow generating member 143 is assembled, the open side of the motor cover 117 is shielded, so that an end of the motor 142 that is not shielded by the motor cover 117 faces the airflow generating member 143. In addition, the motor 142 is activated after receiving electric power from the circuit board 141, and an output shaft 144 of the motor 142 is rotated to drive the grinding member 30 to perform grinding operations. Furthermore, when the motor 142 operates, the airflow generating member 143 is rotated synchronously, and a first heat dissipation airflow 60 and a second heat dissipation airflow 70 are generated when the airflow generating member 143 rotates.
Specifically, gas pressure changes in the head 111 when the airflow generating member 143 rotates, so that external air enters from the air inlet 115 and transforms into the first heat dissipation airflow 60, and the first heat dissipation airflow 60 enters the casing 11 and flows along the airflow passage 118. Since the motor 142 is shielded by the motor cover 117, the first heat dissipation airflow 60 cannot flow into the motor 142 but flows along the motor cover 117 and an inner wall surface of the head 111, and then the first heat dissipation airflow 60 is guided by the airflow generating member 143 to be discharged from the air outlet 116. The first heat dissipation airflow 60 exchanges heat with the circuit board 141 during a flowing process, and then exchanges heat with the motor cover 117 when flowing through the head 111, so as to take away the thermal energy accumulated on the circuit board 141, and reduce heat of the motor 142 to be transferred to the motor cover 117. On the other hand, when the airflow generating member 143 rotates, a side of the motor 142 facing the airflow generating member 143 changes gas pressure to generate the second heat dissipation airflow 70. The second heat dissipation airflow 70 exchanges heat with the side of the motor 142 facing the airflow generating member 143, and the second heat dissipation airflow 70 is guided by the airflow generating member 143 to be discharged from the air outlet 116 to the outside during the flowing process. Thereby the second heat dissipation airflow 70 is capable of dissipating heat of the side of the motor 142 facing the airflow generating member 143, and the heat of the side of the motor 142 facing the airflow generating member 143 can be discharged outside of the casing 11.
In addition to dissipating heat from the side of the motor 142 facing the airflow generating member 143 by the second heat dissipation airflow 70 in the invention, after the casing 11 is assembled, the invention further utilizes the airflow passage 118 formed by the motor cover 117 without contacting the at least two casing parts 113, so that the first heat dissipation airflow 60 is capable of flowing in the airflow passage 118 to change airflow in the casing 11, thereby reducing a circumstance that thermal energy on a conventional circuit board and a conventional motor transfers thermal radiation to a conventional casing due to poor air circulation inside the conventional grinding machine tool, and also solving the problem of uneven heat dissipation of the conventional grinding machine tool. Furthermore, when the first heat dissipation airflow 60 flows through the airflow passage 118, since the motor 142 is shielded by the motor cover 117, the first heat dissipation airflow 60 cannot flow into the motor 142 but flows along a surface of the motor cover 117 and the inner wall surface of the head 111, thereby the first heat dissipation airflow 60 is capable of exchanging heat with the motor cover 117 and the head 111, and reducing dust in the first heat dissipation airflow 60 to be flew into the motor 142. In addition, when the first heat dissipation airflow 60 of the invention flows through the casing 11, the first heat dissipation airflow 60 not only dissipates heat of the motor 142, but the first heat dissipation airflow 60 can further simultaneously exchange heat with the circuit board 141. The first heat dissipation airflow 60 takes away heat accumulated on the circuit board 141 during the flowing process, reduces heat of the circuit board 141 being transferred to the casing 11, thereby preventing the casing 11 from getting hot.

Furthermore, in one embodiment, the at least two casing parts 113 are divided into a lower casing 127 and an upper casing 128. The lower casing 127 is assembled with the motor cover 117, the upper casing 128 and the lower casing 127 jointly define the airflow passage 118 without contacting to the motor cover 117. In one embodiment, the lower casing 127 is formed with the air inlet 115 for the first heat dissipation airflow 60 entering into the casing 11 so that the first heat dissipation airflow 60 is able to flow between the upper casing 128 and the lower casing 127. In another embodiment, the motor cover 117 can be formed with one of the at least two casing parts 113 which is divided into the lower casing 127. Further, the upper casing 128 includes an assembling portion 122 which is assembled with the lower casing 127 to form the body 112, and an extending portion 123 extending from the assembling portion 122 to form the head 111 with the lower casing 127. The assembling portion 122 is assembled with an operable operating press plate 124 thereon, the extending portion 123 is covered above the motor cover 117, and the airflow passage 118 is formed between the motor cover 117 and the upper casing 128.
