Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of motor sealing, and in particular to a starter anti-water immersion structure. Background Art
[0002] The motor is a device with very high functional requirements. It is easily damaged by external dust and water, which affects its service life. Especially in harsh working conditions, the sealing requirements are higher. Especially the waterproof requirements, so the ideal structure of the motor's inner cavity should be a closed structure. However, the motor will generate heat when it is in continuous working state. The inner cavity will cause the internal gas to expand when it is sealed, and the internal pressure will increase, causing the body to rupture, and even in extreme conditions, high temperature will cause the motor to burn. Therefore, there are disadvantages to a completely sealed structure. In addition to considering the waterproofness of the body, the expansion and exhaust capacity and fire prevention function must also be considered.
[0003] Figure 1 The figure shows a motor body assembly, which consists of a split front cover, middle cover, housing, rear cover, isolator, switch assembly and lead wire assembly. There are many connections between the components, and it is difficult to ensure the sealing, resulting in poor water-proof ability and short service life. In addition, when the motor is in continuous operation, the low-sealing structure has the risk of high-temperature heating and combustion, resulting in damage.
[0004] However, for the above-mentioned body structure, after ensuring the sealing, it is necessary to set up an additional exhaust device for use in conjunction to achieve the effect of adjusting the air pressure in the inner cavity. In the prior art, there is a design of setting an electric control valve on the casing, which monitors parameters such as temperature and pressure by cooperating with sensors. Once the detected value is abnormal, the valve is controlled to open to achieve the purpose of pressure relief. When the detected value is normal, the valve is controlled to reset and close. This kind of structural control system is relatively complex and costly, has high requirements on sensor sensitivity, has a high failure rate, has poor anti-immersion ability, and requires a large degree of modification to the motor structure, resulting in insufficient adaptability.
[0005] Therefore, it is necessary to design a water-proof structure for it, which should have waterproof, breathable, fireproof and other functions. Summary of the invention
