[0002] In traditional AC motors, the UVW phase lines of the armature assembly and the external power cables are connected by crimping them in advance and then assembled on the motor casing. They are then led out to the outside of the motor through the holes in the rear end cover of the motor. Since the armature assembly has a long lead wire (with an external power cable), the flow between assembly processes is extremely inconvenient, the processing and preparation process is relatively cumbersome, and it is not convenient for the tooling design of the assembly production line.

[0003] To this end, the patent number is "201920794225.7", and the patent name is "Motor structure and electric vehicle". A plug-in method is disclosed to connect the UVW phase line with the external power cable. Specifically, a terminal block, a first connector and a second connector are additionally designed. The terminal block is installed on the rear end cover and is used to be sleeved on the first connector and the UVW phase line. One end of the first connector is used for crimping with the UVW phase line, and the other end is provided with a female connector. One end of the second connector is used for fixed connection with the external power cable, and the other end is provided with a male connector. In this way, by first connecting the first connector to the UVW phase line, and then installing the armature assembly with the casing and the rear end cover, and connecting the second connector to the external power cable at the same time, the subsequent insertion of the male connector into the female connector completes the plug-in connection of the UVW phase line and the external power cable. In this way, it is convenient for the motor structure to flow between assembly processes, and it can also help to improve the tooling design of the motor structure assembly production line.

[0004] However, in the above patent, there are many problems with the plug-in method of the male and female connectors: First, because the current conduction on the connector terminal is achieved by matching the dimensions of the male and female ends, and there must be tolerances in the dimensions of the male and female ends, there is a risk of reliability of the connection; Second, even if there is no tolerance, this male and female plug-in method itself has the risk of separation, especially in the application scenarios of high-voltage and high-frequency motors, the above reliability risks will increase.

[0024] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the utility model to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the utility model, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the utility model.

[0025] Example 1

[0026] This embodiment provides a motor structure, such as Figures 1 to 4As shown, it includes a housing 1, an armature assembly 2, a rear end cover 4, a terminal block 5 and a connector 6. The armature assembly 2 is arranged inside the housing 1, and the rear end cover 4 is arranged at the end of the housing 1. The rear end cover 4 is provided with a wiring space 23. The wiring space 23 is provided with a first mounting port 24 and a second mounting port 25. The first mounting port 24 is connected to the inside of the housing 1. The second mounting port 25 is connected to the outside, and the external power cable 7 can extend into the wiring space 23 through the second mounting port 25. The terminal block 5 is installed at the first mounting port 24, and the connector 6 is installed in the terminal block 5. The connector 6 includes a connecting end and a protruding end. The connecting end is connected to the UVW phase line 3 of the armature assembly 2, and the protruding end extends out of the terminal block 5 and extends into the wiring space 23. The protruding end of the connector 6 is provided with a threaded hole 27 for the screw thread connection of the bolt 22. The end of the external power cable 7 extending into the wiring space 23 is fixedly connected with a power cable terminal 8, and a terminal connector 9 is provided on the power cable terminal 8, and a bolt hole 28 is provided on the terminal connector 9. After the screw rod of the bolt 22 passes through the bolt hole 28 and is screwed into the threaded hole 27, the nut of the bolt 22 can press the terminal connector 9 on the protruding end of the plug connector 6 to achieve the electrical connection between the UVW phase line 3 and the external power cable 7. The fixing method of the plug connector 6 and the terminal connector 9 by bolts 22 in the motor structure facilitates the connection between the UVW phase line 3 and the external power cable 7, and is conducive to the circulation and transportation of the intermediate components of the motor structure and the armature assembly 2 during the assembly process. In addition, the terminal connector 9 and the plug connector 6 have close contact and high reliability, which is suitable for use scenarios in various voltage and frequency ranges, and has low requirements for the dimensional tolerances of various materials, which can reduce the risks caused by problems in the supply chain such as incoming material inspection and unqualified dimensions.

[0027] Note: The flow and transportation between assembly processes refers to the process of assembling the motor structure. Since the armature assembly 2 is a product of the previous process, it may be processed in other factories. The assembly of the armature assembly 2 is not only to embed the UVW phase line 3, but also requires some processes that have environmental protection requirements. These processes need to be completed in multiple locations and factories, and finally have to be transported back to the assembly line of the motor structure. There are multiple flows during this period, involving factory circulation, logistics, packaging and other links. The traditional method is to connect the UVW phase line 3 and the external power cable 7 together, so that the lead wire of the armature assembly 2 is very long, and the subsequent circulation and other scenes are very inconvenient.

[0028] In this embodiment, Figures 1 to 4As shown, there is a plug-in hole 29 in the wiring seat 5, and the plug-in hole 29 is used for plugging in the plug-in component 6. The plug-in hole 29 includes a small diameter section and a large diameter section arranged in sequence, the small diameter section is close to the UVW phase line 3, and the large diameter section is close to the wiring space 23. The cross-sections of the small diameter section and the large diameter section are both special-shaped sections. The connecting end of the plug-in component 6 matches the small diameter section, including matching in size and shape, and the connecting end of the plug-in component 6 is used to insert the small diameter section of the plug-in hole 29. The protruding end of the plug-in component 6 matches the large diameter section, including matching in size and shape, and the protruding end of the plug-in component 6 is used to insert the large diameter section of the plug-in hole 29. The plug hole 29 is divided into a small diameter section and a large diameter section. In this way, the small diameter section can resist the protruding end of the plug connector 6 and bear the axial force caused by the threaded hole 27 of the plug connector 6 being screwed into the bolt 22. The cross sections of the small diameter section and the large diameter section are special-shaped sections, which can position the plug connector 6 and avoid relative rotation between the plug connector 6 and the plug hole 29 when the bolt 22 is screwed in, so as to facilitate the installation of the bolt 22. The special-shaped cross section can be a polygonal shape, such as a triangle, a quadrilateral, a pentagon, etc., or any other shape with straight edges, such as a semicircle, a quadrilateral with arc edges on both sides, a gear shape, etc.

[0029] Further, in this embodiment, if Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the terminal block 5 can be made of insulating pressure-resistant plastic to play an insulating and isolating role.

[0030] In this embodiment, Figures 1 to 4 As shown, a crimping hole 30 is provided in the connection end of the plug connector 6, and the crimping hole 30 is for the UVW phase line 3 to extend into and be crimped with the connection end. The crimping is fixed by a cold pressing process, and has strong connection reliability. The diameter of the threaded hole 27 is smaller than the crimping hole 30, which can prevent the UVW phase line 3 from extending into the threaded hole 27.

[0031] In this embodiment, Figures 1 to 4As shown, a positioning groove 31 is provided on the inner wall of the wiring space 23, and the positioning groove 31 is coaxially arranged with the first installation opening 24. The inscribed circle diameter of the positioning groove 31 is larger than the aperture of the first installation opening 24. The wiring seat 5 includes a plug-in end and a positioning end, the plug-in end is inserted into the first installation opening 24, and the positioning end is plugged into the positioning groove 31. The external shape of the positioning end matches the shape of the positioning groove 31, that is, if the positioning groove 31 is a circular groove, the external shape of the positioning end is cylindrical, and if the positioning groove 31 is a polygon, the external shape of the positioning end is a polygonal column. A third installation opening 26 is provided on the wiring space 23, and the third installation opening 26 is connected to the outside. Through the third installation opening 26, internal operations can be performed in the wiring space 23, such as passing the bolt 22 through the bolt hole 28 and screwing it into the threaded hole 27. A high-voltage cover plate 10 is installed at the third installation opening 26. After the high-voltage cover plate 10 is installed, it can press the positioning end of the wiring seat 5 so that the positioning end is tightly pressed in the positioning groove 31. The positioning end is provided with an insertion opening 32 for the terminal connector 9 to be inserted into the interior of the wiring seat 5 and then crimped with the protruding end of the plug connector 6. The positioning end extends from the positioning groove 31 to the high-voltage cover plate 10, so that the wiring seat 5 is designed to be able to wrap the wiring area in the wiring space 23, which can effectively prevent materials and debris from falling into the motor during wiring and causing rework.

[0032] Further, in this embodiment, if Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the high-voltage cover plate 10 is fixed to the rear end cover 4 by a first fixing member 17, and the first fixing member 17 can be a fastener such as a bolt or a screw. A sealing gasket 15 is provided between the high-voltage cover plate 10 and the third mounting opening 26 to improve the sealing degree and realize dustproof protection of the wiring space 23.

[0033] In this embodiment, Figures 1 to 4 As shown, it also includes a rotating shaft 12, which is located inside the casing 1. One end of the rotating shaft 12 extends out of the casing 1, and a skeleton oil seal 13 is provided between the casing 1. The other end of the rotating shaft 12 extends out of the rear end cover 4, and the rear end cover 4 is provided with a low-pressure cover plate 11 that covers the rotating shaft 12. The low-pressure cover plate 11 is connected to the rear end cover 4 through a second fixing member 18, and the second fixing member 18 can be a fastener such as a bolt or a screw. A sealing ring 16 is provided between the low-pressure cover plate 11 and the rear end cover 4 to improve the sealing degree. Specifically, one end of the rotating shaft 12 is rotatably connected to the casing 1 through a bearing 21, and the other end of the rotating shaft 12 is rotatably connected to the rear end cover 4 through a bearing 21.

[0034] In this embodiment, Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the second installation port 25 and the external power cable 7 are sealed by the waterproof connector 14 to achieve waterproof and dustproof protection of the wiring space 23. The waterproof connector 14 can be freely selected from products that support or do not support shielding types. If it is matched with an external power cable 7 that supports shielding, the electromagnetic shielding requirements of the motor structure can be met.

[0035] In this embodiment, Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the rear cover 4 is detachably connected to the housing 1 through a third fixing member 19, and the third fixing member 19 can be a fastener such as a bolt or a screw. The installation gap between the rear cover 4 and the housing 1 is filled with a sealant 20. The rear cover 4 and the housing 1 are detachably connected to achieve an open assembly, which helps to improve the tooling and process design of the assembly production line.

[0036] Further, in this embodiment, if Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the connector 6 can be designed to be of standard size, and the bolts 22 matched therewith can also be of standard size to reduce costs. The design of the rear end cover 4 reserves sufficient size, and the external power cable 7 and the waterproof connector 14 can be of standard size to reduce costs. The power cable terminal 8 of the external power cable 7 can be of standard size, without customization requirements, to reduce costs. Furthermore, the other end of the external power cable 7 is supported to have a large connector or a bent copper busbar.

[0037] In this embodiment, Figures 1 to 4 As shown, during the installation process of the motor structure, the UVW phase line 3 is first connected to the connector 6, the casing 1 with the connector 6 and the armature assembly 2 are installed, and then the rear end cover 4 and the casing 1 are installed (there are other processes such as the rotor that are not marked in the actual process), and the installation gap between the rear end cover 4 and the casing 1 is filled with sealant 20, the terminal block 5 is combined with the rear end cover 4, the connector 6 can be matched and fixed with the terminal block 5, and the terminal connector 9 of the power cable terminal 8 of the external power cable 7 is fixed to the connector 6 on the terminal block 5 by bolts 22, a sealing ring 16 is used between the rear end cover 4 and the low voltage cover plate 11, and pressure is applied by the second fixing member 18 to achieve sealing, and a sealing gasket 15 is used between the rear end cover 4 and the high voltage cover plate 10, and pressure is applied by the first fixing member 17 to achieve sealing.
