Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of stepping motors, in particular to a stepping motor encoder. Background Art
[0002] A stepper motor is an electric motor that converts an electrical pulse signal into a corresponding angular displacement or linear displacement. Each time a pulse signal is input, the rotor rotates an angle or moves forward one step. The angular displacement or linear displacement output is proportional to the number of pulses input, and the speed is proportional to the pulse frequency. Therefore, a stepper motor is also called a pulse motor. A stepper motor is also called a pulse motor. Based on the most basic electromagnet principle, it is an electromagnet that can rotate freely. Its operating principle is to generate electromagnetic torque by relying on the change of air gap magnetic permeability. In the early 20th century, stepper motors were widely used in telephone automatic exchanges. Due to the development of the European Industrial Revolution, stepper motors have been widely used in independent systems such as ships and aircraft that lack AC power. The invention of transistors in the late 1950s was gradually applied to stepper motors, making digital control easier. After the 1980s, due to the emergence of cheap microcomputers with multifunctional postures, the control methods of stepper motors became more flexible and diverse. Existing stepper motor encoders generate a lot of heat during operation. If the heat is not dissipated in time, the heat will accumulate inside the encoder and accelerate the aging rate of the internal circuit of the encoder. This will not only shorten the service life of the encoder, but once the temperature exceeds the upper limit of the encoder, it will easily cause the encoder to burn out, which has great limitations.

[0021] In this embodiment, the rear end of the encoder body 21 is in contact with the heat conducting plate 28, the shape of the heat conducting fins 27 is a grid type, the heat conducting plate 28 is adapted to the encoder body 21, and the two sides of the heat dissipation pipe 29 are respectively connected to the liquid storage chamber 210 and the circulating pump 212, and the heat dissipation pipe 29 and the liquid storage chamber 210, the circulating pump 212, and the inner side of the connecting pipe 213 are all provided with refrigerant, the liquid storage chamber 210 is made of heat-conductive metal, and the two sides of the circulating pump 212 are respectively connected to the liquid storage chamber 210 and the circulating pump 212, the air inlet 216 is a dust-proof ventilation arrangement, and the card block 217 is engaged with the card slot 218.
[0022] Specifically, firstly, the circulating pump 212 installed inside the installation chamber 211 is started to make the refrigerant arranged inside the liquid storage chamber 210 circulate inside the heat dissipation pipe 29, and at the same time, the heat dissipation fan 26 installed inside the installation frame 25 is started to make the air with lower temperature outside the cover plate 215 flow into the inner side of the protective cover 22 from the inner side of the air inlet 216 of several groups, and when passing through the heat-conducting fins 27, the heat-conducting fins 27 are cooled by the refrigerant inside the heat-conducting pipe 29, and then the air passing through the heat-conducting fins 27 is further cooled by conduction, so that the heat around the encoder body 21 is dissipated as a whole, and the heat of the encoder body 21 can be directly transferred to the inner side of the heat-conducting fins 27 by the heat-conducting plate 28 for rapid cooling, and the air heated by the heat conduction of the encoder body 21 will eventually be discharged from the exhaust ports 23 of several groups, and the refrigerant after the heat conduction by the air will flow into the liquid storage chamber 210.
