Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of motor shaft technology, specifically a waterproof structure for a motor shaft. Background Technology
[0002] An electric motor is an electromagnetic device that converts or transmits electrical energy based on the law of electromagnetic induction. Its main function is to generate driving torque and serve as a power source for electrical appliances or various machines. The motor shaft used in conjunction with the motor is the output end of the motor, which is used for the power connection and transmission of the motor.
[0003] Existing motor shafts are designed to be used in conjunction with the motor's specifications. Due to installation limitations, the shaft length is often insufficient, necessitating the customization of shafts of sufficient length, which increases operating costs. Furthermore, existing motor shafts rely on simple sealing bearings for sealing, which becomes increasingly ineffective over time, leading to water ingress and motor damage. Additionally, the shaft requires lubrication during high-speed rotation, which rapidly depletes over time, increasing friction and reducing its lifespan. Therefore, we propose a waterproof structure for motor shafts. Summary of the Invention
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a waterproof structure for a motor shaft, addressing the issues raised in the background section. Existing motor shafts are designed to be used in conjunction with the motor's specifications. Due to installation location issues, the shaft length is often insufficient, necessitating the customization of a shaft of sufficient length. Furthermore, existing motor shafts rely on simple sealing bearings for sealing, which leads to a continuous decrease in waterproofing effectiveness over prolonged use. Additionally, the shaft requires lubrication during high-speed rotation, which rapidly depletes the lubricating oil, increasing friction.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution: a waterproof structure for a motor shaft, comprising a shaft body, a waterproof bearing, a motor end cover, an oil seal, and a sealing cover. The waterproof bearing is sleeved on the outer side wall of the shaft body, the motor end cover is sleeved on the outer side wall of the waterproof bearing, the oil seal is snapped onto the outer side wall of the shaft body and located to the right of the waterproof bearing, and the sealing cover is sleeved on the right side of the outer side wall of the shaft body and located to the right of the oil seal.
[0006] Preferably, the right end of the rotating shaft body has a slot, the inner cavity of the slot is fitted with a block, the right end of the block is integrally formed with a connecting shaft, and the slot and the block are triangular in shape.
[0007] Preferably, a fixing screw is sleeved between the inner cavity of the rotating shaft body and the connecting shaft, and a nut is screwed to the left side of the outer wall of the fixing screw, the nut being embedded in the left end of the rotating shaft body.
[0008] Preferably, the outer side wall of the rotating shaft body has a limiting groove, which is arranged sequentially from left to right. The inner cavity of the limiting groove is engaged with a limiting ring, and the top of the limiting ring is provided with an opening.
[0009] Preferably, the inner sidewall of the motor end cover has a first mounting groove arranged from left to right, and the inner cavity of the first mounting groove is fitted with a first sealing ring. The inner sidewall of the right side of the motor end cover is integrally formed with a fixing platform.
[0010] Preferably, a sealing seat is integrally formed around the outer side of the left side wall of the oil seal. The sealing seat is circular in shape and has an air bladder inside, which is evenly distributed.
[0011] Preferably, a first oil storage ring is fixedly connected to the left side of the inner wall of the sealing cap, and arranged sequentially from left to right; a second oil storage ring is fixedly connected to the inner side of the right side wall of the sealing cap, and arranged sequentially from the inside to the outside.
[0012] Preferably, the inner wall of the sealing cover is integrally formed with a sealing cylinder, and the inner wall of the sealing cylinder has a second mounting groove arranged from left to right, and a second sealing ring is engaged in the inner cavity of the second mounting groove.
[0013] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are:
[0014] 1. The waterproof structure of this motor shaft uses triangular slots and blocks. The blocks are engaged with the slots to mate and install the connecting shaft. A fixing screw passes through the shaft body and the connecting shaft and is screwed to the left side of the fixing screw with a nut. Rotating the fixing screw firmly fixes the connecting shaft. By mate and extend the length of the shaft body, there is no need to customize a special shaft, which can reduce the cost of using the motor shaft.
[0015] 2. The waterproof structure of the motor shaft has a first mounting groove on the inner side of the motor end cover, and a first sealing ring is installed in the first mounting groove. The first sealing ring can seal and waterproof between the motor end cover and the waterproof bearing. Furthermore, a sealing seat is provided on the left side of the oil seal, and an air bladder is provided inside the sealing seat. By squeezing the oil seal, the sealing seat is squeezed by the internal air bladder, so that the sealing seat and the motor end cover are tightly fitted. Thus, a multi-layer waterproof sealing device can be provided on the outside of the shaft, which can improve the sealing effect of the motor shaft.
[0016] 3. The waterproof structure of the motor shaft is achieved by using a first oil reservoir ring and a second oil reservoir ring on the left side of the sealing cover, and multiple of them are provided. By squeezing lubricating oil into multiple first oil reservoir rings and multiple second oil reservoir rings, a large amount of lubricating oil can be stored through the first oil reservoir rings and the second oil reservoir rings, which can continuously lubricate the shaft and thus improve the service life of the shaft.
