Description

Technical Field

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

[0002] In the field of modern industry and precision control, direct-drive torque motors are favored due to their simple structure, high control accuracy and fast response speed. In the design of direct-drive torque motors, the power, bearings and encoders in the motor are usually arranged along the axial or radial direction of the motor to achieve efficient operation of the motor.

[0003] However, with the diversification of application scenarios, especially in those situations that require high compactness and large hollow space, more stringent requirements are placed on direct-drive torque motors. These requirements include reducing the height of the motor while maintaining the motor output torque, and increasing the hollow space to adapt to space-constrained environments and reduce weight.

[0004] Generally, the axial arrangement of power, bearings and encoders can reduce the height of the motor, but it will sacrifice the hollow space. Although the radial arrangement provides a larger hollow space, it increases the overall height of the motor. Therefore, a ring-shaped large hollow direct-drive motor is proposed to solve the above problems. Summary of the invention

[0030] The rotor 2 is located on the inner side of the stator 1 and there is a certain gap between the outer wall of the rotor 2 and the inner wall of the stator 1. The bearing 5 is arranged between the opposite side of the shaft 4 and the rotor 2. The shaft 4 and the rotor 2 are coaxially installed with the stator 1. The bearing 5 and the stator 1, the rotor 2 and the shaft 4 are radially arranged. The encoder 6 is arranged on the base 3 and the encoder 6 and the bearing 5 are axially arranged. The direct-drive torque motor is flat as a whole, with a height-to-diameter ratio of 1:4. At the same time, the direct-drive torque motor is large and hollow, and the inner diameter is 1:2 to the outer diameter.

[0031] Among them, the stator 1 is provided with a coil assembly 101, the coil can be a silicon steel sheet, and the coil assembly 101 is fastened to the base 3 by screws. The rotor 2 is provided with a permanent magnet 202 and a turntable 201, and the turntable 201 is connected to the inner side of the permanent magnet 202. The gland 7 is installed on the base 3, and the gland 7 is located inside the cavity of the turntable 201 close to the bearing 5, and fits and presses the outer ring of the bearing 5. The bearing 5, the turntable 201, the permanent magnet 202 and the coil assembly 101 form a radial arrangement. The rotating shaft 4 is located on the inner side of the base 3 and connected to the turntable 201. The rotating shaft 4 fits and presses the inner ring of the bearing 5 with the turntable 201, and is coaxially installed with the stator 1.

[0032] The encoder 6 includes a first encoder and a second encoder. The first encoder is installed on the rotating shaft 4 and rotates with the rotating shaft.

[0034] Embodiment 2: Embodiment 2 of the present application provides a large-hollow, annular direct-drive motor.

[0035] refer to Figure 3 and Figure 4 The difference between Example 2 of the present application and Example 1 is that it also includes a heat dissipation and dustproof component 8, which includes a heat dissipation fan 81 fixed to the outside of the rotating shaft 4, a protective shell 82, and a driving member 86 installed on the base 3, and the heat dissipation fan 81 is located in a connecting cavity 9 set between the rotating shaft 4 and the base 3.

[0036] The base 3 is provided with a ventilation channel 84, and the two ends of the ventilation channel 84 are respectively connected with the connecting cavity 17 and the connecting cavity 9. The base 3 is provided with an air inlet 88, and the housing 14 is provided with an air outlet 89. The air inlet 88 is connected with the connecting cavity 9, and the air outlet 89 is connected with one side of the connecting cavity 17. The rotation of the rotating shaft 4 will cause the heat dissipation fan 81 to rotate. The heat dissipation fan 81 cooperates with the connecting cavity 9, the connecting cavity 17, the air inlet 88, the air outlet 89 and the ventilation channel 84 to generate airflow, so that the airflow passes through the stator 1 and the heat conductive strip 85, and takes away the heat generated by the coil assembly 101 on the stator 1 and the heat of the coil assembly 101 absorbed by the heat conductive strip 85, thereby further improving the heat dissipation efficiency.

[0037] The driving member 86 is connected to the outer side of the protective shell 82. The driving member 86 can be a cylinder, which is convenient for providing power to drive the protective shell 82 to move, and then the air inlet 88 and the air outlet 89 are blocked or opened through the movement of the protective shell 82, so that under certain circumstances, dust can be further prevented from entering the interior of the motor and affecting its service life. At the same time, a sealing ring is provided on the inner side of the protective shell 82 to further prevent dust and moisture from entering the interior of the motor. The protective shell 82 is also provided with cooling fins 83, which can increase the heat dissipation area and improve the heat dissipation efficiency.

[0038] A plurality of heat-conducting strips 85 are provided in the connecting cavity 17 . The coil assembly 101 cooperates with the permanent magnet 202 to drive the turntable 201 and the shaft 4 to rotate. When the motor is working, the heat generated by the coil assembly 101 can be better absorbed by the heat-conducting strips 85 .

[0039] refer to Figure 4 and Figure 5The heat dissipation fan 81 includes a connecting ring 811, a plurality of connecting rods 812 and an impeller 813. The inner wall of the connecting ring 811 is fixedly connected to the outer side of the rotating shaft 4. The outer side of the connecting ring 811 is connected to a plurality of connecting rods 812. The side of the connecting rod 812 away from the connecting ring 811 is connected to the impeller 813. A mounting ring 87 is provided in the connecting chamber 9. The mounting ring 87 is located on one side of the ventilation channel 84. The impeller 813 is located on one side of the mounting ring 87. When the connecting ring 811 rotates with the rotating shaft 4, the impeller 813 rotates to form a low-pressure area. The outside air is sucked into the connecting chamber 9 through the air inlet 88 and passes through the impeller 813. The airflow generated by the impeller 813 can be more concentratedly transported from the connecting chamber 9 to the ventilation channel 84 through the mounting ring 87, thereby realizing the cooling of the stator 1 in the connecting chamber 17 more quickly, further improving the cooling efficiency of the stator 1, and further ensuring the smooth flow of the airflow when the motor is working.

[0040] At the same time, the heat absorbed by the thermal conductive strip 85 and the heat generated by the coil assembly 101 are taken away to improve the heat dissipation efficiency. By adding the heat dissipation and dustproof assembly 8, not only the heat dissipation effect of the motor can be improved and the service life of the motor can be extended, but also dust can be prevented from entering the inside of the motor, thereby improving the reliability and safety of the motor.

[0041] refer to Figure 5 , and also includes an air pressure sensor 11 and an air intake pipe 12 arranged on the base 3. The sensor is located in the connecting cavity 9. The air intake pipe 12 is arranged on the base 3 and a valve is installed on the air intake pipe 12. The valve can be a manual valve or an electric valve. When the motor is working, air is introduced into the motor through the air intake pipe 12, and the heat dissipation and dustproof component 8 is cooperated to make the air flow better, effectively take away the heat generated inside the motor, and improve the heat dissipation efficiency.

[0042] An installation cavity 10 is provided between the rotating shaft 4 and the base 3. The bearing 5 is located in the installation cavity 10 and fits against the inner wall of the installation cavity 10. The installation cavity 10 is connected to the connecting cavity 9 through a first connecting channel 15 provided between the rotating shaft 4 and the base 3. One side of the installation cavity 10 is connected to a second connecting channel 16 provided between the rotating shaft 4 and the rotor 2. The air intake through the intake pipe 12 cooperates with the air pressure sensor 11 to detect whether the airflow entering the motor connecting cavity 9 can flow out through the connecting channel, and then check the internal air pressure to detect whether the bearing 5 is installed properly, so as to further ensure the normal installation and operation of the device, and also facilitate the subsequent maintenance and inspection of the motor.

[0043] The implementation principle of a large hollow direct-drive motor in annular shape in Example 2 of the present application is as follows: When the motor is working, the driving member 86 drives the protective shell 82 to open the air inlet 88 and the air outlet 89. The cooling fan 81 generates airflow as the rotating shaft 4 rotates, and takes away the heat through the connecting cavity 9 and the ventilation channel 84. The mounting ring 87 further ensures smoother airflow and improves the heat dissipation efficiency. It can also cooperate with the air intake pipe 12 to generate more airflow, thereby facilitating faster airflow inside the motor and effectively improving the heat dissipation efficiency. The multiple heat dissipation fins 83 on the protective shell 82 can also further increase the heat dissipation area and improve the heat dissipation efficiency.

[0044] When the motor stops working, the driving member 86 drives the protective shell 82 to close the air inlet 88 and the air outlet 89, effectively reducing the dust from entering the motor and extending the service life of the motor. At the same time, the air pressure sensor 11 and the air inlet pipe 12 can be used to detect the installation of the bearing 5 and facilitate the inspection and maintenance of the motor.

[0045] The above are all preferred embodiments of the present application, and the protection scope of the present application is not limited thereto. Therefore, any equivalent changes made according to the structure, shape, and principle of the present application should be included in the protection scope of the present application.
