The described embodiments should not be regarded as limiting the present application. All other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in the field without making creative work are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0053] In the description of the present application, reference is made to “some embodiments”, which describe a subset of all possible embodiments, but it can be understood that “some embodiments” may be the same subset or different subsets of all possible embodiments and may be combined with each other without conflict.

Unless otherwise specified, "plurality" means at least two.

[0055] In the description of the present application, it should be understood that the terms "up", "down", "front", "back", "left", "right", "vertical", "horizontal", "top", "bottom", "inside", "outside", etc., indicating orientations or positional relationships, are based on the orientations or positional relationships shown in the accompanying drawings, and are only for the convenience of describing the present application and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the referred device or element must have a specific orientation, be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore should not be understood as a limitation on the present application.

[0056] In the description of this application, it should be noted that, unless otherwise clearly specified and limited, the terms "installed", "connected", and "connected" should be understood in a broad sense, for example, it can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; it can be a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; it can be a direct connection, or it can be indirectly connected through an intermediate medium, or it can be the internal communication of two components. For ordinary technicians in this field, the specific meanings of the above terms in this application can be understood according to specific circumstances.

[0057] In the present application, unless otherwise clearly specified and limited, a first feature being "above" or "below" a second feature may include that the first and second features are in direct contact, or may include that the first and second features are not in direct contact but are in contact through another feature between them. Moreover, a first feature being "above", "above" and "above" a second feature includes that the first feature is directly above and obliquely above the second feature, or simply indicates that the first feature is higher in level than the second feature. A first feature being "below", "below" and "below" a second feature includes that the first feature is directly below and obliquely below the second feature, or simply indicates that the first feature is lower in level than the second feature.

[0058] In the related art, for the motor, refer to Figure 1, the motor includes a stator 1 and a motor end cover 2, and the motor end cover 1 and the stator can be matched 2 for connection. The stator 1 is the core part of the motor, usually composed of an iron core and a winding. The iron core is made up of many thin sheets stacked together, and insulating paint is applied between these sheets to reduce eddy current losses. The winding is a wire wound around the iron core, which generates a magnetic field when current passes through it. The motor end cover 2 is a component used to protect the internal components of the motor and provide mechanical support. It can be made of metal or plastic and has a hole for installing a shaft or other accessories. In addition, the motor also includes a rotor, which consists of a central axis and a series of magnetic poles arranged around the axis. When current passes through the stator winding, a magnetic field is formed around the rotor, causing the rotor to start rotating.

[0059] In actual applications, when the power is turned on, the current passes through the winding in the stator 1, and according to the principle of electromagnetic induction, a rotating magnetic field is generated in the iron core of the stator 1. The direction and strength of this magnetic field change with the alternation of the current. The rotor located inside the stator 1 begins to rotate under the action of the rotating magnetic field generated by the stator. The conductor of the rotor cuts the magnetic lines of force, generating an induced current in the rotor conductor, which in turn generates a force that interacts with the magnetic field of the stator 1, pushing the rotor to rotate continuously. The rotational motion of the rotor is transmitted to the load through the motor shaft, realizing the conversion of electrical energy into mechanical energy.

[0060] In order to ensure the waterproof effect of the motor, the relevant technology adopts Figure 2 The waterproof structure shown, Figure 2 The end cover waterproof design is adopted. Figure 3 The enlarged view of the waterproof design of the end cap A is shown. Figure 2 and Figure 3 It can be seen that the motor end cover 2 and the stator 1 adopt an interference fit at the contact portion A3 and are tightly fitted at the contact portion A2. When rainwater penetrates from area A1, it can prevent rainwater from entering the motor. However, this structure has high requirements on process stability. If the component precision is not well controlled, the expected interference fit effect cannot be achieved.

[0061] Based on this, the embodiment of the present application provides a waterproof motor, which includes: a stator 1 and a motor end cover 2, and the motor end cover 2 is connected to the stator 1. The waterproof motor includes the following two types: the first is a waterproof motor based on a sealing gasket waterproof structure, such as Figure 4 As shown; the second is a waterproof motor based on a labyrinth waterproof structure, such as Fig.11 shown.

[0062] Please refer to Figure 4 The waterproof motor further comprises: a sealing pad 3, which is arranged between the stator 1 and the motor end cover 2. The sealing pad is usually made of elastic materials such as rubber and silica gel, and has good sealing performance. Figure 5A cross-sectional schematic diagram of the waterproof motor is shown. Figure 5 In the embodiment, the sealing gasket 3 is tightly filled in the small gap between the stator 1 and the motor end cover 2. Figure 5 At point B in the middle. Figure 6 is a local enlarged schematic diagram of point B. Figure 6 It can be seen that the sealing gasket 3 is tightly filled between the stator 1 and the motor end cover 2 to form a waterproof barrier, which can effectively prevent moisture and other pollutants from invading the interior of the motor even in a humid or underwater environment, protect key components such as the motor windings and bearings from damage, and ensure stable and safe operation of the motor.

[0063] Reference Figure 7 The sealing gasket 3 includes an annular body and a first annular portion 31 located on the inner wall of the annular body, a first protrusion 311 is provided on the first annular portion 31, and the first protrusion 311 is used to be inserted between the stator 1 and the motor end cover 2; the motor end cover 2 includes an end cover body and a second annular portion 21 located on the circumferential outer edge of the end cover body, and the first annular portion 31 is matched and connected with the second annular portion 21.

[0064] It should be noted that the sealing gasket 3 has an annular body, and a first annular portion 31 is designed on the inner wall of the annular body, and the first annular portion 31 is an arc surface. A first protruding portion 311 is further provided on the first annular portion 31, and the first protruding portion 311 can be a boss structure, and the boss can be an annular boss, which is intended to be inserted into the gap between the stator 1 and the motor end cover 2, and enhance the sealing effect by physical buckling.

[0065] It is understandable that a second annular portion 21 is provided on the circumferential outer edge of the end cover body. The second annular portion 21 is an arc surface that precisely matches the first annular portion 31 of the sealing gasket 3 to ensure that the two are firmly connected to form a reliable waterproof interface.

[0066] Thus, the embodiment of the present application introduces a sealing gasket waterproof structure, a sealing gasket 3 is arranged between the stator 1 and the end cover 2, and a first protrusion 311 is arranged on the sealing gasket 3 to ensure a stable and sealed connection between the motor end cover 2 and the sealing gasket 3 and the stator 1. This method directly constructs the first line of defense on the potential water inlet path of the motor, effectively preventing direct intrusion of water. In addition, the waterproof structure of the waterproof motor in the embodiment of the present application is simple and has strong manufacturability, which improves the practicality of the product.

[0067] In some embodiments, Figure 7 As shown, a positioning hole 312 is further provided on the first annular portion 31 , and a second protruding portion 211 is provided on the second annular portion 21 . The second protruding portion 211 is used to be inserted into the positioning hole 312 .

[0068] It can be understood that the number of the positioning holes 312 is one or more, and the positioning holes 312 arranged on the first annular portion 31 cooperate with the second protrusion 211 on the second annular portion 21 of the motor end cover. This design not only ensures the position accuracy of the sealing gasket 3 during installation, but also further enhances the connection stability between the sealing gasket 3 and the motor end cover 2, thereby preventing the sealing from failing due to vibration and other reasons during the operation of the motor.

[0069] In some embodiments, Figure 7 As shown, the first annular portion 31 is also provided with a first mating annular portion 313 and a second mating annular portion 314 arranged along the height direction. The first mating annular portion 313 is provided on the motor end cover 2 side and is matched and connected with the second annular portion 21 of the motor end cover 2. The second mating annular portion 314 is provided on the stator 1 side and is matched and connected with the third annular portion 13 provided on the inner wall of the stator cavity.

[0070] It can be understood that a first protruding portion 311 is provided between the first mating annular portion 313 and the second mating annular portion 314 for being inserted between the motor end cover 2 and the stator cavity.

[0071] It should be noted that a positioning hole 312 is provided on the first matching annular portion 313 , and the positioning hole 312 on the first matching annular portion matches with the second protruding portion 211 of the motor end cover 2 , which helps to accurately position during installation.

[0072] In some embodiments, an interference fit connection is adopted between the first matching annular portion 313 and the second annular portion 21, and between the second matching annular portion 314 and the third annular portion 13. The first interference is set between 0.1 and 0.3 mm. This can ensure the feasibility of the assembly process and avoid assembly difficulties or parts damage due to excessive assembly difficulty. At the same time, it can also ensure that there is enough pressure after assembly to keep the parts tightly combined, and it is not easy to loosen under long-term use, maintaining good waterproof performance.

[0073] In some embodiments, Figure 8 As shown, the annular body is also provided with a sealing gasket end face 32 located on the inner wall of the annular body, and the sealing gasket end face 32 is connected to the first matching annular portion 313; the end cover body is also provided with an end cover end face 22, and the end cover end face 22 is connected to the second annular portion 21, and the sealing gasket end face 32 and the end cover end face 22 are connected by interference fit.

[0074] also, Fig. 9 Shows Figure 8 The cross-sectional diagram of the waterproof motor, the matching between the sealing gasket, stator and motor end cover is shown in Fig. 9 As shown in C. Fig.10 A partial enlarged schematic diagram of C is shown, referring to Fig.10For the sealing gasket 3, the annular body not only includes a first annular portion 31 for being inserted between the stator 1 and the motor end cover 2, but also has a sealing gasket end face 32 directly connected to the first matching annular portion 313 arranged on its inner wall. The purpose of this design is to ensure that when the motor end cover 2 is installed in place, the end face 32 of the sealing gasket can form a close contact with the corresponding part of the end cover end face 22, further preventing moisture or other contaminants from entering the motor.

[0075] It is understandable that the design of the motor end cover 2 also takes this into consideration, and the end cover body is provided with an end cover end face 22 connected to the second annular portion 21. When the motor is assembled, the end cover end face 22 will be in contact with the sealing gasket end face 32, and the two are also connected by interference fit, ensuring the sealing effect of the motor on the axial end face.

[0076] The present application also provides a waterproof motor with a labyrinth waterproof structure, such as Fig.11 As shown, the stator 1 has a stator body, and the inner wall of the stator cavity in the positioning body is staggered along the height direction with at least two stator end faces 11 (not shown in the figure). This staggered design creates a series of annular inner arc surfaces 12, which are formed between adjacent stator end faces 11, increasing the difficulty of water penetration. The design of the motor end cover 2 matches the innovative structure of the stator 1. It not only has a basic end cover body, but also specially designed annular outer arc surfaces 23 that correspond one-to-one to the annular inner arc surface of the stator inner cavity, and an end cover end face 22 that is precisely docked with each stator end face 11. This design ensures that the motor end cover and the stator can fit perfectly in terms of both shape and position, further improving the waterproof performance.

[0077] Thus, the embodiment of the present application introduces a labyrinth waterproof structure, which forms a series of tortuous paths by smoothly transitioning and connecting the first grooves with different radii on the stator and the end face of the stator, thereby forming a labyrinth waterproof structure. The layered blocking of the labyrinth structure can prevent water from penetrating into the motor, significantly enhancing the waterproof effect, thereby improving the waterproof performance of the motor from different levels, and effectively preventing moisture from directly or indirectly entering the motor. In addition, the waterproof structure of the waterproof motor in the embodiment of the present application is simple, and the manufacturability is strong, which improves the practicality of the product.

[0078] In some embodiments, each annular inner arc surface 12 and each annular outer arc surface 23 have a clearance fit and / or an interference fit, and each stator end face 11 and each end cover end face 22 have a tight fit and / or a clearance fit.

[0079] It is understood that an interference fit is when the diameter of one part (usually the shaft) is slightly larger than the inner diameter of another part (usually the hole), and external force is required to force the shaft into the hole during assembly, thereby creating an interference between the two. This assembly method can achieve a keyless connection fixation, because the pressure generated by the interference can prevent the parts from sliding relative to each other, providing higher rotation accuracy and the ability to transmit torque. A tight fit, sometimes also called a transition fit, means that the dimensions of the hole and the shaft are designed to be very close, with either a slight interference or a slight gap, depending on the actual machining tolerance. This fit allows the parts to be assembled more easily without using additional force, while also providing a certain degree of fixation and stability. Tight fit is often used in situations where a certain degree of centering is required but it is not desired to completely restrict the relative movement of the parts. A clearance fit is when the size of the hole is larger than the size of the shaft, and there is a significant gap between the two. During assembly, the shaft can be easily inserted or withdrawn from the hole without external force. A clearance fit allows a certain degree of freedom between the parts, and is suitable for situations where the parts need to be able to slide relative to each other or adapt to expansion and contraction caused by temperature differences, such as bearing installation.

[0080] In some embodiments, Fig.11 as well as Fig.12 As shown, the stator end face 11 includes a first matching end face 111 and a second matching end face 112, and the first matching end face 111 and the second matching end face 112 are staggered in the height direction;

[0081] The inner wall of the stator cavity also includes a first annular inner arc surface 121 connected to the first matching end surface 111 along the height direction and a second annular inner arc surface 122 connected to the second matching end surface. A third annular inner arc surface 123 is formed between the first matching end surface 111 and the second matching end surface 112 .

[0082] In some embodiments, the annular outer arc surface 23 includes a first annular outer arc surface 231 corresponding to and matching the first annular inner arc surface 121 , a second annular outer arc surface 232 corresponding to and matching the second annular inner arc surface 122 , and a third annular outer arc surface 233 corresponding to and matching the third annular inner arc surface 123 ;

[0083] The end cover end surface 22 includes: a third matching end surface 221 corresponding to and matching with the first matching end surface 111 and a fourth matching end surface 222 corresponding to and matching with the second matching end surface 112 .

[0084] In some embodiments, Fig.11 and Fig.12 As shown, the first annular inner arc surface 121 and the first annular outer arc surface 231 as well as the third annular inner arc surface 123 and the third annular outer arc surface 233 are clearance-matched;

[0085] The first matching end surface 111 and the third matching end surface 221 are tightly matched;

[0086] The second matching end face 112 and the fourth matching end face 222 are clearance-fitted;

[0087] The second annular inner arc surface 122 and the second annular outer arc surface 232 are interference fit.

[0088] It is understandable that in Fig.13 In the figure, a partial enlarged view of the labyrinth structure at D is shown, based on which the specific details of the labyrinth seal can be seen. The labyrinth structure consists of five parts, namely Fig.13 The first labyrinth section D1, the second labyrinth section D2, the third labyrinth section D3, the fourth labyrinth section D4 and the fifth labyrinth section D5 shown together constitute a complex channel network, so that any gas or liquid trying to pass through here needs to pass through multiple obstacles to reach the destination. Among them, the first labyrinth section D1 (corresponding to the first annular inner arc surface 121 and the first annular outer arc surface 231) can be gap-matched, that is, a gap of 0.02 to 0.1 mm is retained between the first annular inner arc surface 121 and the first annular outer arc surface 231. Such a design not only allows the two components to move relative to each other, but also serves as a first-level labyrinth seal, increasing the difficulty of liquid or dust penetration through a tortuous path, and plays a preliminary protective role. The second labyrinth section D2 (corresponding to the tight fit between the first matching end face 111 and the third matching end face 221): Here is a close fit, which means that there is no gap between the first matching end face 111 of the stator and the third matching end face 221, forming a sealing surface, which serves as the first barrier to waterproofing and directly blocks the direct intrusion of water or other pollutants. The third labyrinth section D3 (clearance fit between the second matching end face 112 and the fourth matching end face 222): Similar to the first labyrinth section D1, it also adopts clearance fit, adding another level of tortuous path to enhance the waterproof effect. The fourth labyrinth section D4 (fit between the stator end face 112 and the end cover end face 222). The fifth labyrinth section D5 (interference fit between the second annular inner arc surface 122 and the second annular outer arc surface 232): This is an interference fit, which means that the outer arc of the end cover is slightly larger than the inner arc of the stator, and a certain amount of pressure needs to be applied during assembly to make it tightly combined.

[0089] On the whole, the maze-type fitting design of the embodiment of the present application combines multiple methods such as clearance fit, close fit and interference fit to form a complex and effective waterproof system, ensuring that the motor can still maintain good sealing and stability in harsh environments.

[0090] In some embodiments, the first annular inner arc surface 121 and the first annular outer arc surface 231 as well as the third annular inner arc surface 123 and the third annular outer arc surface 233 are clearance-fitted based on a first fitting clearance interval, and the first fitting clearance interval is 0.02-0.1 mm.

[0091] In some embodiments, the second annular inner arc surface 122 and the second annular outer arc surface 232 are interference-fitted based on a second interference amount, and the second interference amount is 0.05-0.1 mm. Here, the interference amount of 0.05-0.1 mm ensures an extremely tight seal, which is the last barrier to waterproofing and is crucial to preventing micro-leakage during long-term use.
