Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of ship propulsion, and in particular relates to a submersible propulsion motor structure. Background Art
[0002] Submersible propulsion motors are limited by the use conditions and the characteristics of the diving equipment itself, and are generally placed at the stern. In order to meet the requirements of fluid mechanics, acoustics and space layout, the stern of the diving equipment is contracted to facilitate linear design, so the motor volume is required to be as small as possible. When working, the submersible propulsion motor needs to withstand a large thrust while achieving underwater sealing, pressure bearing and other characteristics.
[0003] The limitation of volume and the requirement of sealing make it difficult to equip the submersible propulsion motor with thrust bearings of suitable size to bear the axial thrust. In order to achieve the thrust requirements and meet the small size of a single motor, submersible equipment usually adopts a solution of multiple propulsion motors to complete the submersible propulsion task. This solution has high maintenance cost, complex structure and great control difficulty. Summary of the invention
[0004] In view of the deficiencies in the prior art, the present invention proposes a submersible propulsion motor structure and optimizes the thrust bearing arrangement scheme thereof.
[0005] The technical solution adopted by the patent of the present invention to solve its technical problems is: a submersible propulsion motor structure, including a stator, a rotor and water-lubricated support bearings installed on both sides of the stator, and also including a water-lubricated thrust disc cover and a thrust disc arranged at the end of the water-lubricated support bearing, and an axial water hole is arranged on the thrust disc. The stator includes a stator housing and a stator armature and a stator sealing sleeve radially arranged in the stator housing. The rotor is a fully enclosed static sealing structure formed by installing a rotating shaft, a rotor core, a permanent magnet, a rotor sealing sleeve and rotor pressure rings on both sides in radial order. A radial bearing is arranged at the surface contact between the water-lubricated support bearing and the rotating shaft to support the rotor. The end of the water-lubricated support bearing and the water-lubricated thrust disc cover are provided with axial water-lubricated bearings. The thrust disc is used as a friction pair and forms a thrust bearing structure that can withstand bidirectional thrust with the water-lubricated support bearing and the water-lubricated thrust disc cover.
[0006] In the submersible propulsion motor structure, the radial clearance between the stator and the rotor is larger than the clearance between the water-lubricated support bearing and the surface of the rotating shaft.
[0007] The thrust plate of the submersible propulsion motor structure is fixedly mounted on the rotating shaft for transmitting axial thrust. The gap between the thrust plate and the water-lubricated support bearing and the water-lubricated thrust plate cover is smaller than the axial gap between the stator and the rotor, thereby forming an axial limit for the rotor.
[0008] In the submersible propulsion motor structure, the gap between the thrust plate and the water-lubricated support bearing and the water-lubricated thrust plate cover is smaller than the axial gap between the stator and the rotor, thus forming an axial limit for the rotor.
[0009] The water-lubricated support bearing of the submersible propulsion motor structure is an open bearing.
[0010] The beneficial effects of the patent of the present invention are: the present invention arranges the thrust bearing of the submersible motor at the end of the motor, maximizes the use of the radial dimension, increases the force-bearing area of the thrust bearing, is beneficial to improve its working condition and increase the axial bearing capacity, and both the stator and rotor adopt a fully enclosed static sealing structure, combined with an open water-lubricated bearing, to achieve the characteristics of a simple and reliable motor structure, and solve the submersible motor's needs for small size, large thrust, and full sealing.
