## Abstract

A motor includes a cooling enclosure. The cooling enclosure includes a cover body, an inner fan, and an outer fan. A first cooling cavity, a second cooling cavity, and an isolating cavity between the first cooling cavity and the second cooling cavity are formed in the cover body. A plurality of first and second cooling pipes are respectively disposed in the first and second cooling cavity; both being in communication with the isolating cavity and the outside. The cover body includes a first surface and an opposite second surface. The inner fan is disposed on the first surface. Sides of the inner fan are respectively in communication with the first and second cooling cavities. The inner fan is configured to provide circulating power for internal circulating air. The outer fan is in communication with the isolating cavity. The cooling enclosure and the motor can realize relatively high cooling efficiency.

## Claims

### Claim 1

A cooling enclosure, comprising:
a cover body, the cover body internally including
