[0030] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be described clearly and completely below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention.

[0031] This embodiment discloses a motor end cover and a motor using the same, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, the motor end cover assembly is formed by assembling the motor end cover 1, the insulator 2, and the bearing steel sleeve 3. The bearing steel sleeve 3 is sleeved on the outside of the bearing 4, and the insulator 2 covers the outer wall of the bearing steel sleeve 3. The outer wall of the insulator 2 fits tightly with the inner wall of the bearing chamber 11 of the motor end cover 1, and the flow path of the shaft current can be effectively blocked without using an insulating bearing. The insulator 2 can be a separate component, and then embedded in the bearing chamber 11, or it can be directly formed in the bearing chamber 11 by injection molding or glue pouring of insulating materials. The injection molding or glue pouring method has a better effect, and the insulator 1 can be connected to the inner wall of the bearing chamber 11 as a whole, which is more stable. The following takes the use of glue pouring to form the insulator 2 as an example, and describes the structure and assembly relationship of each component in detail in combination with the accompanying drawings.

[0032] like Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 As shown, the side of the motor end cover 1 facing the inside of the motor is the inner wall, and the middle of the inner wall of the motor end cover 1 forms a circular concave bearing chamber 11, and the middle of the bottom surface of the bearing chamber 11 forms a circular groove embedded in the end of the rotating shaft, and the surface around the circular groove forms a protrusion 15, and the bottom surface of the bearing chamber outside the protrusion 15 forms a concave annular groove 14. A plurality of axial limiting grooves 12 are arranged at a certain interval on the annular inner wall of the bearing chamber 11, and a first radial limiting groove 13 is arranged on the inner wall near the open end of the bearing chamber 11, and a second radial limiting groove (not numbered in the figure) is arranged on the inner wall near one end of the bottom surface of the bearing chamber. Each axial limiting groove 12 has one end extending to the open end of the bearing chamber 11, and the other end is connected with the second radial limiting groove, and two adjacent axial limiting grooves 12 are also connected by the two radial limiting grooves. In order to facilitate the formation of the insulator 2 on the inner wall of the bearing chamber 11 by pouring glue, a glue injection hole connected to the inner cavity of the bearing chamber 11 is also opened on the motor end cover 1 in this embodiment. There are two glue injection holes in total, the first glue injection hole 16 is located at the annular groove 14 on the bottom surface of the bearing chamber, and the second glue injection hole 17 is located at the open end surface of the bearing chamber 11. A circular boss 18 is formed in the middle of the outer wall of the motor end cover 1, and the first glue injection hole 16 runs all the way from the annular groove 14 to the side wall of the boss 18; the second glue injection hole 17 is opened from the open end of the bearing chamber 11 along the inside of the motor end cover 1 and runs all the way to the outer wall of the end cover next to the boss 18 of the motor end cover 1. The opening positions and channel paths of the above two glue injection holes are different, and the purpose is to facilitate the simultaneous pouring of insulating material into both sides of the bearing chamber 11 to better form the insulator 2.

[0033] The structure of the bearing steel sleeve 3 is as follows Figure 8 and Fig. 9As shown, the bearing steel sleeve 3 includes an annular steel sleeve body 31, and a plurality of axial grooves 32 are formed on the outer wall of the steel sleeve body 31 at a certain interval, and two annular radial grooves 33 are provided at intervals along the circumferential direction of the outer wall of the steel sleeve body 31. The two ends of each axial groove 32 extend to the two ends of the bearing steel sleeve 3, and the adjacent axial grooves 32 are connected by the radial grooves 33. The edge of the steel sleeve body 31 on the side facing the bottom surface of the bearing chamber extends inward to form a steel sleeve annular flange 34, and the width of the steel sleeve annular flange 34 is smaller than the width of the inner ring groove 14 of the bearing chamber 11. A steel sleeve notch 35 is provided on the steel sleeve annular flange 34, and when the bearing steel sleeve 3 is embedded in the bearing chamber 11 of the motor end cover 1, the steel sleeve notch 35 corresponds to and penetrates the first glue injection hole 16 on the motor end cover 1.

[0034] After the bearing steel sleeve 3 is installed in the bearing chamber 11 and the position is determined, a reserved gap is formed between the bearing steel sleeve 3 and the inner wall of the bearing chamber 11, and an insulator 2 is formed in the gap by pouring insulating material. During pouring, glue is poured from the first glue injection hole 16 and the second glue injection hole 17 to the gap between the bearing steel sleeve 3 and the inner wall of the bearing chamber 11, and the insulating material fills the gap between the two. After cooling and solidification, the insulator 2 is formed. The insulator 2, the bearing steel sleeve 3, and the motor end cover 1 are combined into one.

[0035] Based on the structural design of the bearing chamber 11 and the bearing steel sleeve 3 given above, the structure of the insulator 2 formed by the glue injection is as follows: Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, the insulator 2 includes an annular body 21, and a plurality of spaced outer axial ribs 22 and annular outer radial ribs 23 are formed on the outer wall of the annular body 21, and the edge of the annular body 21 on the side facing the bottom surface of the bearing chamber extends inward to form an insulator annular flange 28. A plurality of spaced inner axial ribs 24 and annular inner radial ribs 25 are formed on the inner wall of the annular body 21. A glue injection through hole 27 is formed on the insulator annular flange 28, and the through hole 27 is respectively connected with the steel sleeve notch 35 and the first glue injection hole 16, and an insulator notch 26 is formed on the end face of the annular body 21 away from the insulator annular flange 28, and the insulator notch 26 is connected with the second glue injection hole 17.

[0036] The motor end cover 1, the insulator 2, and the bearing steel sleeve 3 are assembled with each other to form a motor end cover assembly, the insulator annular flange 28 is embedded in the annular groove 14 of the bearing chamber 11, the outer axial rib 22 of the insulator 2 is embedded in the axial limiting groove 12 of the bearing chamber 11, the outer radial rib 23 of the insulator 2 is embedded in the radial limiting groove 13 of the bearing chamber 11, the inner axial rib 24 of the insulator 2 is embedded in the axial groove 32 of the bearing steel sleeve 3, and the inner radial rib 25 of the insulator 2 is embedded in the radial groove 33 of the bearing steel sleeve 3. The width of the insulator annular flange 28 is greater than the width of the steel sleeve annular flange 34, and can just cover the steel sleeve annular flange 34.

[0037] When the motor end cover assembly given above is installed on the motor, its structure is as follows Fig.10 and Fig.11 As shown, the attached drawings of this embodiment take the motor end cover assembly installed at the non-shaft extension end as an example. Since the motor end cover assembly is formed as an integral part by glue injection, the bearing 4 can be directly embedded in the inner cavity of the bearing steel sleeve 3, which is convenient for installation and can block the flow path of the shaft current at the non-shaft extension end.

[0038] Although the embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be appreciated by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and variations may be made to the embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, and that the scope of the present invention is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
