Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of motor end covers, and in particular to a low-wear motor end cover. Background Art

[0002] Motor end cover: It is the cover of the motor housing. It is generally divided into a front cover and a rear cover, which are used to fix and support the motor shaft. Generally, a motor sleeve is provided in the middle to pass the motor shaft. Poor lubrication between the motor end cover and the bearing or other rotating parts is one of the main causes of wear. If the lubricant is insufficient, contaminated or an inappropriate lubricant is used, it will increase friction and cause wear of the end cover.

[0003] At present, when lubricating the motor end cover, the motor end cover is usually lubricated by directly applying lubricating oil between the bearing and the bearing sleeve.

[0004] It is difficult to ensure uniform distribution of lubricating oil by manual application. Uneven distribution of lubricating oil will lead to insufficient lubrication in some areas and excessive lubrication in other areas. The areas with insufficient lubrication are prone to increased friction, which in turn leads to wear of the end cover. On the other hand, after long-term use, a certain amount of oil stains will accumulate inside the motor. Since the current lubrication method cannot automatically remove these oil stains, they will continue to accumulate and affect the normal operation of the motor. The accumulation of oil stains will reduce the lubrication effect and increase friction and wear. Therefore, regular maintenance by professionals is required, which increases the labor intensity of the staff. Summary of the invention

[0005] In view of the above-mentioned shortcomings of the prior art, the present invention provides a low-wear motor end cover, which can effectively solve the problems of uneven lubrication, inability to automatically clean dirt, and high labor intensity in the prior art.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0032] In order to make the purpose, technical solution and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention clearer, the technical solution in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0033] The present invention will be further described below in conjunction with the embodiments.

[0034] Example:

[0035] A low-wear motor end cover, see attached Figure 1-7 , including an end cover body 1, and also including:

[0036] The protective cover 2 is detachably connected to the end cover body 1, and the protective cover 2 is detachably connected to the end cover body 1 through multiple sets of bolts. An equipment cavity is provided between the bearing sleeve on the end cover body 1 and the protective cover 2, and an oil storage cavity 21 is provided on the protective cover 2.

[0037] Specifically, the oil storage chamber 21 is provided with two groups, one group is a recovery chamber, and the other group is an oil injection chamber, and the recovery chamber is located directly above the oil injection chamber, and the protective cover 2 is provided with a cover plate 22 for sealing the oil storage chamber 21, and a filter hole is provided between the recovery chamber and the oil injection chamber. The oil is recovered in the recovery chamber, and the waste oil is filtered through the filter hole provided on the protective cover 2, and then flows into the oil injection chamber for subsequent lubrication.

[0038] Furthermore, the cover plate 22 is provided with an air inlet hole 221 and an oil return hole 222 connected to the recovery chamber, and a liquid inlet hole 223 connected to the oil injection chamber. The air inlet hole 221 is used to recover waste oil, and the oil return hole 222 is used to pressurize and depressurize the oil storage chamber 21, so as to realize the continuous flow of lubricating oil between the recovery chamber and the oil injection chamber in the oil storage chamber 21. The cover plate 22 is composed of two semi-fan-shaped arc plates and is symmetrically distributed along the filter hole, so as to facilitate disassembly, cleaning or adding lubricating oil as needed during maintenance. An oil injection port is provided on the protective cover 2 for adding lubricating oil.

[0039] The one-way oil return pipe 23 extends into the oil storage chamber 21. The one-way oil return pipe 23 is provided with multiple groups and is slidably connected to the end cover body 1. The one-way oil return pipe 23 can be effectively positioned when inserted into the end cover body 1, which is convenient for installation. At the same time, one group of the one-way oil return pipe 23 is connected to the air inlet hole 221.

[0040] The one-way oil return pipe 23 is used to extract waste oil into the oil storage chamber 21 , and a limiting guide ring 231 located between the protective cover 2 and the end cover body 1 is provided on the one-way oil return pipe 23 , and a fixed gap is provided on the limiting guide ring 231 .

[0041] A fixing ring 25 is movably mounted on the protective cover 2 for pressurizing the oil storage chamber 21 , and a smear ring 26 is rotatably mounted on the fixing ring 25 . The fixing ring 25 is driven to reciprocate by the rotation of the smear ring 26 and the cooperation with the limiting guide ring 231 .

[0042] Among them, a piston disc 251 and a sleeve 252 arranged on the cover plate 22 and connected to the oil return hole 222 are provided on the side of the fixing ring 25 away from the smearing ring 26, and the piston disc 251 is movably connected with the sleeve 252. When the fixing ring 25 drives the piston disc 251 to move, the piston disc 251 cooperates with the sleeve 252 to realize the injection and extraction of air in the oil storage chamber 21. An elastic member 253 is sleeved on the outer circumference of the sleeve 252, and the two ends of the elastic member 253 respectively abut against the cover plate 22 and the fixing ring 25. The elastic member 253 is used for resetting the fixing ring 25. When the smearing ring 26 rotates, it cooperates with the limiting guide ring 231 to drive the fixing ring 25 to move toward the protective cover 2. When the smearing ring 26 cancels the squeezing of the fixing ring 25, the elastic member 253 is reset to drive the fixing ring 25 to reset. A refueling hose 254 connected to the liquid inlet hole 223 is provided on the side of the fixing ring 25 close to the cover plate 22.

[0043] In addition, the liquid inlet end of the liquid inlet hole 223 is located at the bottom of the oil filling cavity, which facilitates the lubricating oil in the oil storage cavity 21 to squeeze into the liquid inlet hole 223 and the filling hose 254, thereby preventing the ineffective addition of lubricating oil.

[0044] The inner wall of the smear ring 26 near the motor shaft is provided with a plurality of expansion members 262, and the expansion members 262 are used to expand in volume and abut against the motor shaft when heated, so as to rotate with the motor shaft. When the heat in the motor is overloaded, or the temperature exceeds a preset value, the expansion members 262 expand and abut against the motor shaft, and the motor shaft drives the smear ring 26 to rotate. The outer wall of the smear ring 26 near the limit guide ring 231 is provided with a plurality of guide strips 263, and the guide strips 263 are used to reciprocate into the limit guide ring 231 when the smear ring 26 rotates, so as to guide the fixing The reciprocating movement of the ring 25 increases or decreases the pressure in the oil storage chamber 21. When the fixed ring 25 is close to the cover plate 22, the oil storage chamber 21 is pressurized. Since the one-way oil return pipe 23 is a one-way pipe, the pressure in the oil return chamber is pressed into the filter hole and then enters the oil filling chamber for filtration. At the same time, the smear ring 26 is squeezed in to lubricate the bearing. Conversely, when the fixed ring 25 is away from the cover plate 22, the gas in the oil return chamber is extracted to reduce the pressure. Since the refueling hose 254 is also a one-way pipe, the waste oil on the side of the bearing sleeve away from the protective cover 2 is extracted through the one-way oil return pipe 23 to achieve circulation.

[0045] In addition, an oil storage tank 261 is provided on one side of the smear ring 26 close to the bearing sleeve on the end cover body 1, and a through hole connected to the refueling hose 254 is provided on the oil storage tank 261. The extruded lubricating oil enters the oil storage tank 261, and then the lubricating oil is added to the bearing in the bearing sleeve. The cross-section of the oil storage tank 261 is C-shaped, and the lubricating oil can be temporarily accumulated in the oil storage tank 261 after being introduced into the oil storage tank 261.

[0046] The seal 3 is detachably connected to the end cover body 1. The seal 3 is connected to the bearing sleeve on the end cover body 1 by screws and sealed to prevent lubricating oil from entering the motor. The seal 3 is provided with a waste oil chamber 31 on one side close to the end cover body 1. The waste oil chamber 31 is used to store waste oil generated during the operation of the bearing. The seal 3 is provided with an oil pumping ring 32 located in the waste oil chamber 31, and the oil pumping ring 32 is provided with an oil pumping hole 321 connected to the one-way oil return pipe 23. When the one-way oil return pipe 23 is extracted, the oil pumping hole 321 is used to prevent the oil from entering the motor. The waste oil in the waste oil chamber 31 is pumped back, wherein a connecting pipe 24 is provided on the one-way oil return pipe 23 inserted into the sealing member 3, and the connecting pipe 24 is communicated with the oil pumping hole 321 on the pumping ring 32, the pumping ring 32 is an open ring, and the opening on the pumping ring 32 is located at the corresponding position of the refueling hose 254 and directly below the connecting pipe 24. The used lubricating oil generates debris to form waste oil due to long-term lubrication of parts, and the waste oil will accumulate in the waste oil chamber 31, and the waste oil in the waste oil chamber 31 is pumped out through the pumping ring 32.

[0047] Working principle: Lubricating oil is added to the oil filling chamber of the oil storage chamber 21 through the oil filling port. When the motor shaft rotates and the temperature inside the motor reaches a preset value, the expansion piece 262 on the coating ring 26 expands and presses against the motor shaft, so that the coating ring 26 rotates with the motor shaft. At this time, the guide strip 263 on the outer peripheral surface of the coating ring 26 cooperates with the limiting guide ring 231, so that the coating ring 26 rotates and moves back and forth towards and away from the protective cover 2, thereby driving the fixed ring 25 to move back and forth. With the repeated reciprocating movements of the coating ring 26, the recovery chamber in the oil storage chamber 21 is pressurized or depressurized by the piston disc 251 and the sleeve 252. When pressurized, the recovery is squeezed. The lubricating oil in the cavity is filtered through the filter hole and enters the oil filling cavity, and then enters the oil storage tank 261 and is slowly applied to the bearing. As the bearing and the motor rotate, it overflows into the space between the bearing sleeve and the bearing on the end cover body 1, thereby improving lubrication and reducing wear. When the pressure is reduced, the recovery cavity is decompressed, thereby extracting part of the waste oil in the seal 3 through the one-way oil return pipe 23. At the same time, the lubricating oil between the auxiliary equipment parts moves to the waste oil cavity 31 to prevent the lubricating oil from overflowing into the motor and protecting the inside of the motor. During maintenance, it is only necessary to add an appropriate amount of lubricating oil to the oil storage cavity 21, and it is only necessary to clean the recovery cavity on the protective cover 2 during cleaning, thereby reducing the labor intensity of the staff and improving work efficiency.

[0048] The above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention, rather than to limit it. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the aforementioned embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that they can still modify the technical solutions described in the aforementioned embodiments, or make equivalent replacements for some of the technical features therein. However, these modifications or replacements will not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the protection scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention.
