Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the field of generators, in particular to a bearing cover plate and a generator assembly having the bearing cover plate. Background Art

[0002] The AC generator is the main power supply part of the automobile, and the front-end bearing of the generator is the main transmission part. Among the after-sales failure modes of the bearings, mud and water entering the bearings is one of the main failure modes.

[0003] Therefore, how to improve the bearing sealing performance is currently a research direction to improve the after-sales quality of generators.

[0004] When installing the bearing, the bearing is generally fixed by a bearing cover plate. The main function of the bearing cover plate is to fix the front end bearing by tightening with screws to limit the axial displacement of the bearing.

[0005] There are two ways to improve the sealing performance of existing generator bearings. The first is to improve the sealing performance of the bearing itself.

[0006] The second method is to set sealing parts around the bearing, such as sealing rubber, sealing parts, etc.

[0007] The first method relies on the bearing manufacturer to optimize the sealing lip structure, such as using a three-lip sealing structure. This method only relies on a single bearing part.

[0008] The second type is that the generator manufacturers design according to the motor structure and add sealing parts. This type of sealing design is generally more complicated. For example, the addition of new sealing parts requires increasing the generator assembly process and increasing the difficulty of parts processing (the generator needs to be equipped with a structure that cooperates with the sealing parts. Considering the matching accuracy, generally the matching parts need to be fine-machined).

[0009] In addition, the reliability of parts is insufficient, such as the sealing rubber is prone to aging.

[0010] For example, the content disclosed in Patent 201920206976.2-Long-life generator bearing seal.

[0011] In order to improve at least one of the above problems, it is necessary to optimize the design of the existing bearing sealing method. Utility Model Content

[0041] Furthermore, in the utility model, the drainage component 3 includes a plurality of drainage strips 31, and the plurality of drainage strips 31 are distributed at the edge of the cover body 1, which play a good blocking role. At the same time, in the utility model, each of the drainage strips 31 is symmetrically distributed on the cover body 1 at intervals; here, the symmetry of the arrangement position of the drainage strips 31 can be ensured, thereby ensuring the overall dynamic balance of the generator.

[0042] Furthermore, in the utility model, each of the drainage strips 31 includes two single drainage strips 311, and the two single drainage strips 311 are arranged to intersect each other; the horizontal projection of each drainage strip 31 is V-shaped; the V-shaped drainage strip 31 can better block the mud and water, and can also play a better drainage role, facilitating the rapid discharge of mud and water.

[0047] In addition, the transition cone 4 here also plays a secondary flow blocking role, and can cooperate with the drainage strip 31 to better block the flow of muddy water to the assembly hole 2.

[0048] At the same time, in the utility model, the transition cone 4 is provided with a guide slope 41 at one end away from the water retaining ring rib 5; the setting of the guide slope 41 facilitates the water between the transition cone 4 and the drainage strip 31 to be drained to the top of the transition cone 4, and finally diverted and drained through the water retaining ring; at the same time, in the utility model, the drainage strips 31 in the drainage component 3 are distributed around the transition cone 4; such a setting makes the transition cone 4 in the area before each drainage strip 31 and the water retaining ring rib 5, so that the three have a coordinated cooperation, first of all The three cooperate with each other to form a step on the cover body 1, thereby preventing mud and water from flowing into the assembly hole 2 along the end face of the cover body 1; at the same time, in the utility model, the drainage strip 31 plays a primary blocking and drainage role, and the setting of the transition cone 4 and the guide slope 41 plays a secondary blocking and drainage role. Subsequently, the water between the transition cone 4 and the drainage strip 31 enters the water retaining rib 5 through the transition cone 4; and the water retaining rib 5 plays the final blocking and diversion role, which is equivalent to having a three-level blocking and drainage role, and finally preventing water from entering the assembly hole 2.
