Abstract
Description
[0001] This application is a divisional application of the application with the filing date of February 28, 2017, application number CN201710118952.7, publication number CN106655619 A, and invention title "Active drive unit with centrifugal unit and its solid-liquid separation equipment". Technical Field
[0002] The present invention relates to an active drive unit with a centrifugal unit and a direct-drive solid-liquid separation equipment with the active drive unit. Its final product form is a small solid-liquid mixture centrifugal separation equipment, belonging to the field of centrifuges. Background Art
[0003] During the laboratory small-scale and pilot-scale research processes, the most commonly used solid-liquid separation equipment mainly includes the combination of a Buchner funnel and a suction flask, and centrifuges of various specifications. Among them, the combination of a Buchner funnel and a suction flask is only suitable for laboratory small-scale research. In order to simulate the actual situation in production and provide necessary centrifugal separation operation data for production, the centrifuge is more recommended.
[0004] Currently, the commonly used centrifuges are all composed of a drive device (mainly a motor) and a solid-liquid separation device (mainly a liquid collection and discharge chamber and a centrifugal unit) that are separately placed and then assembled. Such equipment still has various defects or drawbacks, such as being too complex and heavy, having too much noise and vibration, having a complex manufacturing process, being inconvenient for maintenance, and being difficult for equipment cleaning validation, etc., and cannot fully meet the need for complete separation of solid-liquid mixtures in laboratory small-scale and pilot-scale tests. Summary of the Invention
[0005] Object of the Invention:
[0006] The object of the present invention is to provide an active drive unit with a centrifugal unit and a direct-drive solid-liquid separation equipment with the active drive unit. This equipment can overcome various defects or drawbacks existing in the existing centrifuges or solid-liquid separators, and better meet the need for complete separation of solid-liquid mixtures in laboratory small-scale and pilot-scale tests.
[0007] Technical Solution:
[0008] In order to overcome various defects or drawbacks existing in the existing solid-liquid mixture separation equipment, the present invention provides a direct-drive solid-liquid separation equipment with an integrated structural design of an active drive unit and a centrifugal unit. The active drive unit includes:
[0009] At least one rotor unit, and the rotor unit makes the active drive unit perform a rotational movement around the motor shaft center line through the rotational force generated by the electromagnetic interaction with the adapted stator unit;
[0010] A centrifugal unit, which includes a centrifugal drum with centrifugal through holes on its peripheral wall and a centrifugal cover with a feeding hole in the center;
[0011] A spacer that separates the active drive unit into an upper centrifugal unit and a lower rotor unit support while controlling the flow direction of a target substance and its components located inside and / or outside the centrifugal unit, and the spacer closes the bottom of the centrifugal unit;
[0012] At least one rotor unit support for carrying the rotor unit; and
[0013] One of the shaft connection methods (A) to (C), wherein the active drive unit is related to the motor shaft by any one of the following shaft connection methods (A) to (C):
[0014] (A) Through a motor shaft mounting hole located at the center of the spacer;
[0015] (B) Through a mounting bracket that is fixedly connected to the spacer and the motor shaft, or is an integral structure with the spacer and / or the motor shaft;
[0016] (C) The motor shaft and the active drive unit are an integral structure;
[0017] Wherein the centrifugal unit, the spacer, and the rotor unit support together form a rotor unit support member.
[0018] According to the active drive unit of the present invention, between the spacer and the rotor unit support, especially between the outermost rotor unit supports, they together form an integral structure with a -shaped longitudinal section, and the -shaped structure includes a metal structure part derived from at least one metal component and / or a molded structure part derived from a polymer material by molding. The molded part formed by the polymer material by molding gives the rotor unit support member or the active drive unit a complete structure and function.
[0019] Specifically, the centrifugal unit or its components, The -shaped structure and the electrical insulation measures (I) to (III) together ensure the success of the active drive unit of the present invention.
[0020] Specifically, Example 3 (Figure 3) is the shaft connection method (A), Example 1 (Figure 1) is the shaft connection method (B), Example 2 (Figure 2) and Example 4 (Figure 4) are the shaft connection method (C). The rotor units are shown as 104 and 106 in Figure 1. The centrifugal unit includes a centrifugal through-hole (111), a centrifugal drum (110), a feeding hole, and a centrifugal cover (304). The spacer is shown as 207 in Figure 2. The rotor unit supports are shown as the structures of 116 and 117 in Figures 1 to 4 but do not include the rotor units.
[0021] Specifically, the mounting bracket (103) in Embodiment 1 (Figure 1) is fixedly connected to the spacer through the electrically insulating mounting bracket mounting holes (101, formed after injection molding of the injection-molded insulating holes (115)). At the same time, it is fixedly connected to the motor shaft through the motor shaft hole. By simple modification, the mounting bracket and the motor shaft can be made into an integral structure. Embodiment 2 (Figure 2) specifically shows the case where the mounting bracket, the spacer, and the motor shaft are an integral structure, and also indirectly shows the method of making the mounting bracket and the motor shaft into an integral structure.
[0022] Specifically, the type structure of the integral structure includes a radial part and an axial part. Preferably, the radial part and / or axial part of the type structure includes a metal structure part derived from at least one metal component and / or a molded structure part derived from a polymer material by molding. More preferably, the metal structure part included in the radial part and / or axial part of the type structure is derived from the metal component of the integral structure. The type structure is preferably used to form a seal with a sealing element and / or to provide a fixed connection structure (such as the injection-molded insulating hole 115) for a component having at least a centrifugal unit. The seal prevents leakage of the target substance and its components.
[0023] Specifically, generally speaking, the structural strength of various materials is in the order of: metal material > metal material + polymer material > polymer material. The type structure, as the part in the active drive unit that bears the strongest force, the combination of the integral type structure and the metal component of the integral structure can not only meet the various strength requirements of the equipment to the greatest extent, but also be particularly convenient for providing a fixed connection structure for a component having at least a centrifugal unit, especially the second metal component, and / or a structure for releasing the fixed connection (Embodiment 4). It can also minimize the types and quantities of components and facilitate the manufacture of active drive units of various structures and specifications.
[0024] Specifically, in Embodiments 1 to 4 (Figures 1 to 4), the spacer closing the bottom of the centrifugal unit and the outermost rotor unit support part (116) together form a structure with a type cross-section ( Figure 2A at the position shown as 207 in ). The type structure in Embodiments 1 to 3 includes a metal structure part derived from the second metal component of the integral structure. The
[0025] According to the active drive unit of the present invention, the active drive unit is preferably fixed to the bottom of the centrifugal liquid collection unit by means of a rotary support unit and a nut that abuts against the rear bearing and is screwed onto the motor shaft.
[0026] Specifically, the structures at the tail ends of the motor shafts in Embodiment 2 (Figure 2) and Embodiment 4 (Figure 4) are particularly suitable for this installation method.
[0027] According to the active drive unit of the present invention, the components associated with the shaft are preferably electrically insulated from the rest of the active drive unit, and the "components associated with the shaft" include, but are not limited to, the first metal component.
[0028] Specifically, in Embodiment 2 (Figure 2) and Embodiment 3 (Figure 3), the first metal component associated with the shaft and the second metal component are electrically insulated from each other by being molded with a polymer material. In Embodiment 4 (Figure 4), the polymer material molded part includes a first metal component that non-electrically supports the rotor unit, and this injection molded part is electrically insulated from the second metal component having at least a centrifugal unit through an injection insulation hole (115).
[0029] According to the active drive unit or the solid-liquid separation device described in the present invention, in order to ensure electrical insulation between the rotor unit and the stator unit in any case, and more importantly, to ensure electrical insulation between the rotor unit and the motor shaft, especially to ensure electrical insulation between the target substance and its components and the active drive unit, thereby improving the safety of the device. As an equivalent replacement for the individual and combined use methods of the following three electrical insulation measures (I) to (III), at least the component containing the rotor unit in the active drive unit of the present invention, the surface of this component facing the air gap and / or the surface adjacent to the rotor unit support and not facing the air gap is electrically insulated by a non-conductive insulating material layer. The at least component containing the rotor unit includes, but is not limited to, one or both of the rotor unit and the metal component that non-electrically supports the rotor unit.
[0030] According to the active drive unit or the solid-liquid separation device described in the present invention, the active drive unit or the solid-liquid separation device has at least one of the following three electrical insulation measures (I) to (III):
[0031] (I) At least the surface of the rotor unit facing the air gap is coated with a non-conductive insulating material layer after being treated with a suitable treatment process;
[0032] (II) The rotor unit and each part of the adjacent rotor unit support are electrically insulated from each other by a non-conductive insulating material layer;
[0033] (III) The metal component that non - electrically supports the rotor unit is electrically insulated from the rest of the rotor unit support and from the target substance and its components located inside and / or outside the centrifugal unit by a layer of non - conductive insulating material.
[0034] Specifically, in the individual and combined use of the three electrical insulation measures (I) - (III), it is preferred that at least the non - air - gap - facing surfaces of the components containing the rotor unit are electrically insulated from the rest of the active drive unit, and more preferably, both the air - gap - facing surfaces and the non - air - gap - facing surfaces of the components containing the rotor unit are electrically insulated from the rest of the active drive unit.
[0035] Specifically, the rotor unit with a radial air - gap flux is generally of a cylindrical structure, and the rotor unit with an axial air - gap flux is generally of a disc - like structure. The surfaces of both types of rotor units include an upper surface, a lower surface, an inner surface, and an outer surface. These four surfaces can be more simply divided into air - gap - facing surfaces and non - air - gap - facing surfaces (the surfaces adjacent to the rotor unit support). The electrical insulation measure (I) mainly targets the air - gap - facing surfaces, the electrical insulation measures (II) and (III) mainly target the non - air - gap - facing surfaces, and the various combinations of (I) - (III) target the air - gap - facing surfaces and / or non - air - gap - facing surfaces. The metal component that non - electrically supports the rotor unit means that there is no electrical insulation between the rotor unit and the metal component, and the metal component that non - electrically supports the rotor unit also includes the air - gap - facing surfaces and the non - air - gap - facing surfaces.
[0036] Specifically, in Example 1 (Figure 1) and Example 3 (Figure 3), the electrical insulation measure (II) is adopted. In Example 4 (Figure 4), the electrical insulation measure (III) is adopted. In Example 2 (Figure 2), the electrical insulation measures (I) and (II) are adopted. Comparing the outer and inner reinforcing ribs of the rotor unit support on the left and right sides between the marking lines 201 and 203 in Figure 2B with the positions shown by D and E in Figure 1B it can be seen that Figure 2B there are gaps between the inner and outer rotor units and the inner and outer reinforcing ribs, and they do not contact each other. According to the positional relationship between the components in Figure 2B after injection molding, the obtained active drive unit has its rotor unit electrically insulated from the metal component.
[0037] According to the active drive unit of the present invention, the target substance and its respective components refer to the mixture to be centrifugally separated and the respective components constituting the mixture to be centrifugally separated. The insulating material layer includes, but is not limited to, an electrically insulating polymer material layer, a non-conductive ceramic layer composed of metal oxides on the surface of the first metal component and / or the second metal component, an electrical insulating skeleton for the iron core, and / or an electrical insulating coating. The selection of the electrical insulation measures is determined according to the structure of the rotor unit, the structure of the first metal component or the second metal component, the connection mode of the first metal component and the second metal component, the structure of the centrifugal unit, and the structure of the active drive unit, while taking the convenience of production and the reduction of product cost as the criterion.
[0038] Specifically, among the three electrical insulation measures (I), (II), and (III), the second one of the preferred number (II) is selected. For this electrical insulation measure, it is equivalent to the rotor unit being electrically insulated and isolated by a non-conductive insulating material layer from the first metal component and / or the second metal component. This electrical insulation measure can expand the selectable range of the structure of the first metal component or the second metal component, the selectable range of the connection mode of the first metal component and the second metal component, or the selectable range of the structure of the active drive unit. Therefore, it is the first choice.
[0039] According to the active drive unit of the present invention, according to the construction method of the rotor unit, the rotor unit is preferably any one of the following four structures (7) to (10):
[0040] (7) A combination of a conductive winding or an iron core and a conductive winding;
[0041] (8) A combination of an iron core and a permanent magnet;
[0042] (9) A combination of rotor bars, end rings, and an iron core;
[0043] (10) A combination of a permanent magnet, rotor bars, end rings, and an iron core;
[0044] Among them, the permanent magnet includes, but is not limited to, any one of neodymium iron boron magnets, samarium cobalt magnets, alnico magnets, ferrite magnets, and plastic magnets, or a combination of two or more of them. The rotor unit structure is preferably composed of a permanent magnet and an iron core, and the combination of rotor bars, end rings, and an iron core is the second choice. Of course, it can also be composed of an iron core and its energizable conductor winding, or other rotor unit structures.
[0045] The active drive unit according to the present invention, the active drive unit having two or more rotor units (116, 117 in FIGS. 1 and 2), the rotor units of which are axially arrayed or radially juxtaposed with the center line of the motor shaft as the axis, the rotor units of the axial array having the same specifications, and the rotor units of the radial juxtaposition having different specifications (the radii of the rotor units are different, and the radius of the outer rotor unit is greater than the radius of the inner rotor unit).
[0046] The active drive unit according to the present invention, according to the relative arrangement of the stator unit and the rotor unit, the rotor unit preferably selects any one of the following four radial air-gap flux structures (1) to (4):
[0047] (1) Outer stator single inner rotor structure with radial air-gap flux;
[0048] (2) Inner stator single outer rotor structure with radial air-gap flux;
[0049] (3) Inner and outer double stator intermediate rotor structure with radial air-gap flux;
[0050] (4) Double rotor structure combining intermediate stator with inner rotor and outer rotor with radial air-gap flux.
[0051] The active drive unit according to the present invention, according to the relative arrangement of the stator unit and the rotor unit, the rotor unit preferably selects any one of the following two axial air-gap flux structures (5) to (6):
[0052] (5) Single stator single rotor structure with axial air-gap flux;
[0053] (6) Intermediate stator upper and lower rotor structure with axial air-gap flux.
[0054] Specifically, the rotor unit of the motor rotor with the radial air-gap flux structure preferably selects an inner rotor or an outer rotor (116 in FIGS. 3 and 4), or a double rotor structure combining an inner rotor and an outer rotor. The double rotor structure includes two cases where the outer side is an outer rotor and the inner side is an inner rotor (116, 117 in FIGS. 1 and 2) and the outer side is an inner rotor and the inner side is an outer rotor; the motor rotor with the axial air-gap flux structure preferably selects a single stator single rotor or a disc-type motor with an intermediate stator upper and lower rotor structure (commonly known as a disc motor).
[0055] Specifically, the rotor unit particularly preferably selects a double rotor structure combining an intermediate stator with an inner rotor and an outer rotor with radial air-gap flux. This structural form can increase its balance when the motor rotor is in a centrifugal running state, and at the same time, accessories meeting the parameter requirements can be selected from the direct drive motors for washing machines in the market, reducing the product cost.
[0056] The active drive unit according to the present invention, the active drive unit includes at least one of the following (11) to (13):
[0057] (11) A first metal component located at the inner spacer position of the active drive unit;
[0058] (12) A second metal component located at the outer centrifugal unit position of the active drive unit;
[0059] (13) A molded component made of a polymer material that gives the active drive unit a complete structure and function.
[0060] Specifically, the active drive unit includes any one, any two, or all three of a first metal component, a second metal component, and a molded component molded from a polymer material with respect to the metal components.
[0061] Specifically, between the rotor unit, the first metal component, the second metal component, and the molded component molded from a polymer material, any two, any three, or all four are structurally adapted to each other so that the rotor unit support or the active drive unit has a complete structure and function.
[0062] The active drive unit according to the present invention, the first metal component includes, but is not limited to, any one of the following seven structures selected from (14) to (20):
[0063] (14) Splines of various structures;
[0064] (15) Motor shafts of various structures;
[0065] (16) A rotor insert having an inner shaft mounting structure and an outer connection structure, the rotor insert having the function of a mounting bracket;
[0066] (17) A first metal component having part or all of the spacer;
[0067] (18) A first metal component having a spacer and a rotor unit support;
[0068] (19) A first metal component having a spacer and a centrifugal drum;
[0069] (20) A first metal component having a spacer, a centrifugal drum, and a centrifugal cover.
[0070] The active drive unit according to the present invention, the second metal component includes, but is not limited to, any one of the following five structures selected from (21) to (27):
[0071] (21) A second metal component having a centrifugal drum and a centrifugal cover;
[0072] (22) The second metal component having a centrifugal drum and a rotor unit support part;
[0073] (23) The second metal component having a centrifugal drum, a centrifugal cover and a rotor unit support part;
[0074] (24) The second metal component having a centrifugal drum, part or all of the spacer parts and a rotor unit support part;
[0075] (25) The second metal component having a centrifugal drum, part or all of the spacer parts;
[0076] (26) The second metal component having a centrifugal drum, a centrifugal cover and part or all of the spacer parts;
[0077] (27) The second metal component having a centrifugal drum, a centrifugal cover, part or all of the spacer parts and a rotor unit support part.
[0078] Specifically, the motor shafts of various structures in the above (15) preferably refer to the case where the rotor insert and the motor shaft are of an integral structure.
[0079] Specifically, generally, the first metal component and the second metal component described in the present invention are not strictly distinguished. When there is only one kind of metal component in the active driving unit, this distinction is meaningless. In most cases, this metal component can be regarded as both the first metal component and the second metal component. Only when the active driving unit has two kinds of metal components, in order to show the difference, the metal component associated with the shaft at the inner spacer position of the rotor unit support is regarded as the first metal component, and the metal component at the outer centrifugal unit position of the rotor unit support is regarded as the second metal component.
[0080] Specifically, the rotor insert including but not limited to the above (16) (the first metal component shown as 202 in Embodiment 2 and FIG. 2) can independently realize the function of the mounting bracket in Embodiment 1, and thus can be used as a mounting bracket or further manufactured into a mounting bracket integrated with the motor shaft. This ingenious design of the first metal component enables it to be widely used in the active driving units with shaft connection methods (A), (B), and (C), and through Embodiment 2, the shaft connection methods (A), (B), and (C) are organically connected together. At the same time, it is also convenient to manufacture active driving units with different structures and specifications, reducing production costs.
[0081] Specifically, including but not limited to the above (14) to (20) and the first metal components in Embodiments 1 to 4, they can be separately combined with the rotor unit and molded with polymer materials into an active drive unit. The second metal components in the above (21) to (27) and Embodiments 1 to 4 can also be separately combined with the rotor unit and molded with polymer materials into an active drive unit. The first metal component and the second metal component that are structurally adapted to each other can also be combined with the rotor unit and molded with polymer materials into an active drive unit. Since a device cannot have two centrifugal units simultaneously, the first metal component with a centrifugal drum and the second metal component with a centrifugal drum cannot be used in combination.
[0082] Specifically, in theory, the first metal components including but not limited to the above (14), (16) to (20) and in Embodiments 1 to 4 can all be used as the second metal component, as long as the motor shaft hole is not made during manufacturing or is closed with polymer materials when molded into an active drive unit. However, it is difficult for the second metal component to be directly used as the first metal component due to the absence of a motor shaft hole.
[0083] Specifically, Embodiments 2 and 3 can be very easily transformed into Embodiment 4 with only minor changes. The second metal component in Figure 1 can be slightly processed and combined with the first metal components in Figures 2 and 3. The first and second metal components in Figures 2 and 3 can be combined and used as in Embodiments 2 and 3, or cross - combined, or separately combined with the rotor unit. Therefore, the first and second metal components, rotor unit, and polymer material components in Figures 1 to 4 can be combined to create various structures of active drive units and their embodiments. The preferred Embodiments 1 to 4 only show the most representative structures of the first and / or second metal components and the most representative combination methods between them.
[0084] Specifically, the first and second metal components between the above (18) to (27) can be transformed into each other through simple structural changes. The second metal component of Embodiment 4 is as described in the above (21), the second metal components in Embodiments 1 to 3 are as described in the above (24) to (27), the first metal component of Embodiment 4 is as described in the above (18), the first metal component of Embodiment 2 is as described in the above (16), and the first metal component of Embodiment 3 is as described in the above (14).
[0085] Specifically, for the first metal component or the second metal component in the present invention, preferably, both the centrifugal cover (304) and the centrifugal drum (110) are integrally formed, or the centrifugal drum and the rotor unit support part are integrally formed, or the spacer part and the rotor unit support part are integrally formed, or the centrifugal drum and the spacer part are integrally formed, or the centrifugal cover, the centrifugal drum and the rotor unit support part are integrally formed, or the centrifugal drum, the spacer part and the rotor unit support part are integrally formed, or the centrifugal cover, the centrifugal drum, the spacer part and the rotor unit support part are preferably integrally formed. The integral forming process includes but is not limited to at least one of molding, cutting, bending, and stamping processes, which facilitates manufacturing and reduces costs.
[0086] For the active drive unit according to the present invention, the non - centrifugal unit part of the first and / or second metal components is preferably made of the same material as the rotor unit iron core and manufactured by appropriate manufacturing processes, which can reduce manufacturing processes and costs. The appropriate manufacturing processes preferably include but are not limited to at least one of molding, cutting, bending, and stamping processes.
[0087] For the active drive unit according to the present invention, for the first metal component and / or the second metal component manufactured by an appropriate manufacturing process (the first manufacturing process), preferably, the corresponding spacer part and / or the position of the rotor unit support part of the component are processed by re - using an appropriate manufacturing process (the second manufacturing process) to form at least one of the following structures (28) - (32):
[0088] (28) Spacer part reinforcing ribs, which include but are not limited to being distributed radially and / or circumferentially;
[0089] (29) Rotor unit support parts, which include but are not limited to cylindrical, tile - shaped, strip - shaped, or column - shaped structures spaced circumferentially;
[0090] (30) Rotor unit support part reinforcing ribs, which include but are not limited to cylindrical, tile - shaped, strip - shaped, or column - shaped structures spaced circumferentially;
[0091] (31) Centrifugal cover, which is preferably made from a centrifugal cover body;
[0092] (32) Fixed connection structure of the component having at least a centrifugal unit.
[0093] For the active drive unit according to the present invention, the appropriate manufacturing processes (the first manufacturing process, the second manufacturing process) include but are not limited to at least one of molding, cutting, bending, and blanking processes, and the reinforcing ribs can also serve as fixing structures.
[0094] Specifically, the second manufacturing process includes both further processing of the first and / or second metal components by means of metal machining and further processing by means of polymer material molding. The reinforcing ribs formed thereby are classified according to direction into axially outer reinforcing ribs (107), axially inner reinforcing ribs (109), and reinforcing ribs (301) parallel to the motor shaft direction, and radially inner reinforcing ribs (302), radially reinforcing ribs (305), radially outer reinforcing ribs (401), and circumferential reinforcing ribs (306) perpendicular to the motor shaft direction. According to the material, they are classified into metal material reinforcing ribs (107, 109, 301, 302, 401) and polymer material reinforcing ribs (305, 306). According to the location, they are classified into spacer portion reinforcing ribs (302, 305, 306, 401) and rotor unit support portion reinforcing ribs (107, 109, 301). The latter includes various manifestations of the former two. After being processed by the second manufacturing process, a cylindrical rotor unit support portion with a continuous peripheral wall, a centrifugal cover (such as obtained by processing the centrifugal cover precursor 206 in Embodiment 2), and a fixed connection structure of a component including at least a centrifugal unit (including but not limited to that shown as 402 in Embodiment 4) can also be formed.
[0095] Under normal circumstances, the rotor unit support portion or the rotor unit support portion reinforcing rib of the metal component is a cylindrical structure with a continuous peripheral wall. In particular, most of the metal components manufactured by the first manufacturing process are like this. This structure is suitable for the motor rotor of a radial air-gap flux structure. However, if the rotor unit support portion is a full-metal structure, it will significantly increase the weight of the entire active drive unit. To reduce the weight of the active drive unit, the use of polymer materials with a relatively small specific gravity should be increased as much as possible. The plurality of tile-shaped, strip-shaped, or column-shaped structures distributed at intervals in the circumferential direction obtained by processing the first metal component or the second metal component can serve as both the rotor unit support portion and the metal reinforcing rib of the rotor unit support portion. After positioning the rotor unit thereon and injection molding it into an active drive unit, the weight of the active drive unit can be correspondingly reduced. At the same time, the gaps between the tile-shaped or strip-shaped structures can serve as the card slots for fixing the rotor unit before or after injection molding. It is particularly suitable for the manufacture of an active drive unit with a rotor unit having certain structures (such as a combination of rotor bars, end rings, and iron cores).
[0096] Specifically (FIG. 1, FIG. 2), by cutting the spacer portion of the second metal component integrally molded with the centrifugal drum and bending the cut piece, the axially outer reinforcing rib (107) and the axially inner reinforcing rib (109) of the rotor unit support portion in a substantially tile shape are formed;
[0097] Specifically (Figure 3), by cutting the position of the rotor unit support part of the second metal part integrally molded with the centrifugal drum and bending the cut piece, a tile-shaped rotor unit support part reinforcing rib (301) and an inner radial reinforcing rib (302) of the spacer part are formed;
[0098] Specifically (Figure 4), by cutting the position of the rotor unit support part of the first metal part integrally molded with the spacer part and bending the cut piece, a tile-shaped rotor unit support part reinforcing rib (301) and an outer radial reinforcing rib (401) of the spacer part are formed.
[0099] According to the active drive unit of the present invention, preferably, the centrifugal cover and the centrifugal drum are of an integral structure. More preferably, after manufacturing and forming a part at least including the centrifugal cover, it is assembled with other parts to form the active drive unit. The "part at least including the centrifugal cover" includes, but is not limited to, one of the centrifugal cover and a part having at least a centrifugal unit. The other parts include, but are not limited to, one of the first metal part, the second metal part, and a molded part at least including a molded structure and a rotor unit.
[0100] According to the active drive unit of the present invention, in further detail, for the first or second metal part having a centrifugal drum, the production of its centrifugal cover includes, but is not limited to, any one of the following four processes (33) to (36):
