Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of direct-drive servo motors, and in particular to a direct-drive servo motor. Background Art

[0002] In the field of modern industrial automation, direct-drive servo motors have been widely used due to their excellent performance. However, in actual use, direct-drive servo motors still face some problems that need to be solved.

[0003] Noise is one of them. When the direct-drive servo motor is running, it will generate a certain degree of noise due to the effect of electromagnetic force, vibration of mechanical parts, air flow and other factors. This noise will not only interfere with the working environment and affect the comfort and work efficiency of operators, but also in some application scenarios with strict noise requirements, such as medical equipment and scientific research laboratories, excessive noise may also affect the normal operation of the equipment and the accuracy of experimental data.

[0004] The heat dissipation challenge should not be ignored either. As the power density of direct-drive servo motors continues to increase, the heat generated during operation also increases significantly. If the heat cannot be dissipated in a timely and effective manner, the internal temperature of the motor will rise rapidly, which will lead to a decline in motor performance, such as reduced output torque, unstable speed, etc. In severe cases, it may even damage the internal components of the motor and shorten the service life of the motor.

[0005] At present, although there are some solutions for direct-drive servo motor noise and heat dissipation, the results are often unsatisfactory. Common heat dissipation methods, such as fan heat dissipation and natural convection heat dissipation, may not meet the heat dissipation requirements when dealing with high-power operation; in terms of noise reduction, simply wrapping the servo motor with sound insulation materials to improve the noise reduction effect, but this will lead to reduced heat dissipation performance.

[0006] Therefore, in order to meet the higher performance requirements of direct-drive servo motors in industrial applications and provide a quiet, stable and efficient operating environment, it is necessary to develop a new type of direct-drive servo motor to solve the two key problems of noise and heat dissipation. Summary of the invention

[0007] The object of the present invention is to provide a direct-drive servo motor to solve the problem in the prior art that simply using sound insulation materials to wrap the servo motor to improve the noise reduction effect will lead to reduced heat dissipation performance.

[0011] A further technical solution is that the heat sink includes a heat-conducting flat plate and a plurality of heat-conducting fins vertically arranged on the heat-conducting flat plate.

[0012] A further technical solution is that the edge of the cooling water tank is sealed with the wall of the heat dissipation tank, and a cable gap is left between the cooling water tank and the rear end of the motor housing, the outer wall of the noise reduction pipe is provided with a threading hole connected to the cable gap, a sound insulation layer is provided on the side of the cooling water tank facing the motor housing, and a heat insulation coating is provided on the surface of the water tank.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0021] In order to make the purpose, technical solution and advantages of the present invention more clearly understood, the present invention is further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention.

[0022] Figures 1 to 3 An embodiment of the present invention is shown.

[0023] Embodiment 1: A direct-drive servo motor includes a motor housing 1, a rotor 2 is rotatably arranged in the motor housing 1, a stator 3 is arranged around the rotor 2 on the inner wall of the housing, a noise reduction housing 4 is arranged on the outer cover of the motor housing 1, a sound insulation interlayer is arranged in the noise reduction housing 4, a cooling housing 5 is arranged between the noise reduction housing 4 and the motor housing 1, a cooling chamber 6 is arranged in the cooling housing 5, a cooling water tank 7 is installed at the rear end of the motor housing 1, a water pump 8 is arranged in the cooling water tank 7, the water outlet of the water pump 8 is connected to the cooling chamber 6, the water inlet of the cooling water tank 7 is connected to the cooling chamber 6, and a cooling mechanism for cooling the cooling water tank 7 is installed on the surface of the cooling water tank 7. By providing the noise reduction housing 4 and the sound insulation interlayer in the housing, the motor housing 1 can be covered, thereby playing a role in noise reduction, and reducing the noise generated by the rotation of the rotor 2 from being transmitted to the outside. By providing a cooling casing 5, in conjunction with a water pump 8 and a cooling mechanism, the cooling casing 5 can be kept in a low-temperature state, so that the heat on the motor casing 1 can be absorbed by means of heat transfer, so that the temperature of the motor casing 1 is reduced. In this way, when the rotor 2 rotates, the air flow inside the motor casing 1 will contact the motor casing 1, thereby reducing the air temperature inside the motor casing 1, and the heat generated by the rotor 2 during operation can be absorbed by means of low-temperature air, thereby reducing the temperature of the rotor 2. The stator 3 directly contacts the inner wall of the motor casing 1 and can directly transfer heat to the motor casing 1.

[0024] The noise reduction housing 4 includes a noise reduction pipe 9 and a front plate 10. The noise reduction pipe 9 is fitted on the outer wall of the motor housing 1. The front plate 10 is fitted on the front end of the motor housing 1, and the edge of the front plate 10 is connected to the front end of the noise reduction pipe 9. The rear end of the noise reduction pipe 9 extends to the rear of the motor housing 1, and a heat dissipation groove 11 is formed at the rear end of the motor housing 1. By setting the front plate 10, the front side of the motor housing 1 can be noise-reduced. By setting the noise reduction pipe 9, the outer wall of the motor housing 1 can be noise-reduced. In this way, the decibel of the sound when it is propagated can be reduced from multiple directions when the motor is in use.

[0025] The cooling mechanism includes a semiconductor cooling sheet 12, a heat sink 13 and a silent cooling fan 14. The cooling water tank 7, the heat sink 13 and the silent cooling fan 14 are sequentially installed in the heat sink 11 from front to back. The cooling water tank 7 is provided with a cooling groove 15 in a concave shape on its surface. The cold end of the semiconductor cooling sheet 12 is fitted on the bottom of the cooling groove 15. The heat sink 13 is installed on the hot end of the semiconductor cooling sheet 12. The air outlet side of the silent cooling fan 14 is aligned with the heat sink 13. The surface of the noise reduction pipe 9 is provided with an air outlet 16 connected to the heat sink 11, and the air outlet 16 is aligned with the heat sink 13. In this arrangement, the water temperature in the cooling water tank 7 can be continuously reduced by fitting the cold end of the semiconductor cooling sheet 12 to the cooling groove 15, so that the water temperature in the cooling water tank 7 is kept at a low temperature. The water pump 8 sends the low-temperature water pump 8 to the cooling chamber 6, which can effectively absorb the heat of the motor housing 1. After the water that absorbs the heat and heats up returns to the cooling water tank 7, it is cooled again with the help of the semiconductor cooling sheet 12. Since the hot end of the semiconductor refrigeration sheet 12 will heat up quickly while cooling, the hot end of the semiconductor refrigeration sheet 12 is cooled by the silent cooling fan 14 and the heat sink 13, so that the semiconductor refrigeration sheet 12 can continue to work. By providing the air outlet 16, the heated hot air can be discharged from the air outlet 16.

[0026] The heat sink 13 includes a heat conducting plate 17 and a plurality of heat conducting fins 18 vertically disposed on the heat conducting plate 17. By providing the heat conducting plate 17 and the heat conducting fins 18, the heat dissipation effect of the semiconductor cooling plate 12 can be improved by increasing the heat dissipation area.

[0027] The edge of the cooling water tank 7 is sealed with the groove wall of the heat dissipation groove 11, and a cable gap is left between the cooling water tank 7 and the rear end of the motor housing 1. The outer wall of the noise reduction pipe 9 is provided with a threading hole 19 connected to the cable gap. The cooling water tank 7 is provided with a sound insulation bonding layer 20 on the side facing the motor housing 1, and the surface of the water tank is provided with a heat insulation coating. By setting the cable gap, it is convenient to connect the rotor 2, the stator 3, and the internal control elements to the external control end. By setting the heat insulation coating, the external temperature can be prevented from affecting the low-temperature water in the cooling water tank 7. By setting the sound insulation bonding layer 20, the noise in the motor housing 1 can be prevented from being transmitted from the rear end, and the noise reduction housing 4 is used to perform all-round noise reduction on the motor housing 1.

[0028] A cooling ring groove 21 is provided in the concave surface surrounding the motor housing 1, and the rear groove wall of the cooling ring groove 21 extends to communicate with the rear end of the motor housing 1. The cooling housing 5 is embedded in the cooling ring groove 21, and the outer wall of the cooling housing 5 is flush with the outer wall of the motor housing 1. By providing the cooling ring groove 21, it is easy to install the cooling housing 5. The inner wall of the cooling housing 5 and the groove bottom of the cooling ring groove 21 can be installed in a threaded manner, and the noise reduction housing 4 can be installed in the cooling ring groove 21 by screwing. The cooling housing 5 can also be fixed to the rear end of the motor housing 1 by fixing screws. When installing the cooling housing 5 and the noise reduction housing 4, the cooling housing 5 is first inserted into the cooling ring groove 21 from the rear end of the motor housing 1, and then the noise reduction housing 4 is sleeved on the outside of the motor housing 1 from the front end of the motor housing 1.

[0029] The sound insulation interlayer and the sound insulation bonding layer 20 are both made of aerogel sound insulation materials. The interior of the aerogel is full of nanopores that are open at both ends and connected to the surface. Its specific surface area of ​​up to 1000m² / g indicates that the number of pores contained is very large. Therefore, when sound propagates in it, the sound energy will be greatly consumed by the large number of pore walls, which makes the aerogel have a sound absorption effect that is dozens of times higher than that of ordinary porous materials. For example, after testing by an institution with professional qualifications, the aerogel noise reduction and sound insulation board sample developed by Huayang Group has an average sound absorption coefficient of 1.07 in the full frequency band of 100 to 5000 Hz, and the weighted sound insulation reaches 41 decibels. In addition, research reports show that the sound insulation of a certain type of aerogel with a thickness of 10mm can reach 44db, which is equivalent to the sound insulation effect of 100mm thick concrete; graphene aerogel weighing only 2.1 kilograms per cubic meter can suppress noise at 16 decibels. The noise reduction effect of aerogel will be affected by factors such as its thickness, density, and porosity. By adjusting these parameters, customized acoustic performance can be achieved for different frequency ranges to meet the sound insulation needs of specific scenarios. At the same time, aerogel also has good thermal stability, corrosion resistance, and hydrophobicity, which enables it to maintain good sound absorption performance in extremely high temperatures and harsh corrosive environments.

[0030] A first temperature sensor is installed in the cooling water tank 7, a second temperature sensor is installed on the inner wall of the motor housing 1 near the front end, and a third temperature sensor is installed on the inner wall of the motor housing 1 near the rear end; the first temperature sensor, the second temperature sensor, the third temperature sensor, the semiconductor refrigeration sheet 12 and the silent fan are all controlled by the controller. By setting the first temperature sensor, the temperature in the cooling water tank 7 can be monitored at any time, so as to control the start and shut down of the semiconductor refrigeration sheet 12, and avoid the semiconductor refrigeration sheet 12 from refrigerating for a long time, causing ice in the cooling water tank 7, which affects the use. By setting the second temperature sensor and the third temperature sensor, the temperature inside the motor housing 1 can be monitored, so as to judge whether the temperature inside the motor housing 1 is effectively cooled and maintained at a suitable working temperature, and the temperature abnormality can be monitored in time, so as to facilitate maintenance.

More specifically, within the scope of the present disclosure, drawings, and claims, a variety of variations and modifications may be made to the components and / or layout of the subject combination layout.
