A method and system for cooling an electric motor of a simulation or video game controller that comprises a rotor arranged in a casing, wherein the method comprises a forced air ventilation from the outside of the casing to the inside of the casing by a fan arranged on the rotor and kinetically decoupled from the rotor. As such, cold outside air is recovered and circulates through the coils which constitute the heat source and expulsed to the other end of the motor. There is therefore a homogeneous extraction of the heat from the coils. As the fan is kinetically decoupled from the rotor, the cooling system therefore operates independently of the speed of rotation of the main shaft of the motor.
A method for cooling an electric motor of a video game controller, the electric motor comprising a casing defining an interior motor space, a rotor and a number of motor coils positioned in the interior motor space, wherein the method comprises a forced air circulation between the motor coils, by a fan which is positioned in the interior motor space of the casing, and which is supported by the rotor and is mobile in rotation with respect to the rotor, in such a way that the speed of rotation of the fan is independent from the speed of rotation of the rotor.
A video game controller having a motor comprising a main motor rotor which is mobile in rotation about an axis xx' with respect to a casing, and a fan mobile in rotation about an axis yy', wherein the fan is arranged on the main motor rotor, into the casing, in that the fan is coaxial with the main motor rotor, and in that the fan is mobile in rotation with respect to the main motor rotor.
A method for cooling an electric motor of a video game controller when the motor converts electrical energy into a mechanical couple to tend to cause rotation of a main rotor about an axis xx' and exterior forces substantially oppose to such rotation, the motor having a casing having an opening for entry of sucked air wherein the method comprises a forced air ventilation from the outside of the casing to the inside of the casing, and a forced longitudinal circulation of air between coils of the motor, by at least one fan inside the casing, which is supported by the main rotor and rotatably movable with respect to the main rotor about an axis yy' which is coaxial with the axis xx'.
