Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to a motor, in particular to a waterproof integrated stepping motor. Background Art

[0002] A stepper motor is an electric motor that converts electrical pulse signals into corresponding angular displacement or linear displacement. Each time a pulse signal is input, the rotor rotates an angle or moves forward one step. The output angular displacement or linear displacement is proportional to the number of input pulses, and the speed is proportional to the pulse frequency.

[0003] The stepper motor, also known as the pulse motor, is based on the most basic electromagnet principle. It is a freely rotating electromagnet, and its operating principle is to generate electromagnetic torque by relying on the change of air gap magnetic permeability. The biggest difference between the stepper motor and other control motors is that it receives digital control signals (electric pulse signals) and converts them into corresponding angular displacements or linear displacements. It is itself an actuator that completes digital mode conversion. Moreover, it can be open-loop position controlled. A pulse signal is input to obtain a specified position increment. Compared with the traditional DC control system, the cost of such an incremental position control system is significantly reduced, and there is almost no need for system adjustment.

[0004] The angular displacement of the stepper motor is strictly proportional to the number of input pulses and is synchronized with the pulses in time. Therefore, the required rotation angle, speed and direction can be obtained by controlling the number of pulses, frequency and phase sequence of the motor windings.

[0005] At present, the stepper motors on the market are still dominated by conventional stepper motors. Encoders will be added to improve the closed-loop control capability, and the driver and controller will be simply fixed to the tail of the motor and sold as an integrated product.

[0006] Therefore, when customers need a complete stepper motor solution, they must be very familiar with the entire set of mechanical fixation and electrical connections of stepper motors, encoders, drivers, and controllers. This not only requires the processing of customized mechanical parts, but also the processing of the connection and mechanical assembly process of more than 20 single-strand wires, which affects the neat appearance and causes electromagnetic compatibility problems due to long cables and lack of shielding. The lack of demand for high outdoor protection levels has also affected the selection intention of some customers. There is still a need for an integrated stepper motor with strong waterproof and dustproof performance on the market. The external cables of integrated stepper motors on the market are split into independent cables such as power, I / O, and communication, resulting in the problem that the external electrical wiring is still too complicated.
