[0025] It should be understood by those skilled in the art that the embodiments of the present invention described above and shown in the accompanying drawings are only examples and do not limit the present invention. The purpose of the present invention has been fully and effectively achieved. The functions and structural principles of the present invention have been demonstrated and explained in the embodiments, and the embodiments of the present invention may be deformed or modified in any way without departing from the principles.

[0026] The embodiments of the present utility model are further described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0027] See also Figure 1-5 The electric turbocharger nested bearing seat structure shown in the figure includes: a motor end cover 1 and a bearing seat body 2. The motor end cover 1 has a casting cavity 11; the bearing seat body 2 is confined in the casting cavity 11 to complete the casting, and the motor end cover 1 and the bearing seat body 2 are fixed; the bearing seat body 2 includes a reinforcement ring 21 arranged on the outside; the reinforcement ring 21 is arranged to be embedded in the casting cavity 11.

[0028] In actual use, the motor end cover 1 of the utility model has a casting cavity 11 for casting the outer contour of the bearing seat body 2. Compared with using an independent casting mold, part of the mold structure is omitted, thereby reducing the manufacturing cost; and after the casting is completed, the motor end cover 1 and the bearing seat body 2 are naturally fixed, and the reinforcement ring 21 is configured to be embedded in the casting cavity 11, so that the connection between the two is more firm. On the basis of a stable connection, the assembly work of the two is omitted, thereby reducing the installation steps and reducing the assembly cost.

[0029] Please continue reading Figure 1-5 , wherein the motor end cover 1 is set to be an aluminum alloy material, and the bearing seat body 2 is set to be a stainless steel material.

[0030] By setting the motor end cover 1 and the bearing seat body 2 to be two different materials, the two have different casting temperatures, so that the bearing seat body 2 can be cast in the casting cavity 11 of the motor end cover 1; in addition, the motor end cover 1 also needs to play the role of protecting the motor and installing the volute, while the role of the bearing seat body 2 is to support the bearing. The two have different functions. Using different materials according to the actual functions can enable the motor end cover 1 and the bearing seat body 2 to play their respective roles.

[0031] Please continue reading Figure 3-5 , wherein the casting cavity 11 includes a first cavity 111 and a second cavity 112 which are arranged in communication with each other; the bearing seat body 2 includes a ring body 22; the reinforcement ring 21 is arranged on the outer wall of the ring body 22; the ring body 22 includes an inner ring body 221 which is arranged on one side of the reinforcement ring 21; the first cavity 111 is used to form the reinforcement ring 21 during casting, and the second cavity 112 is used to form the inner ring body 221 during casting.

[0032] By setting the first cavity 111 and the second cavity 112, the reinforcing ring 21 and the inner ring body 221 can be formed during casting of the bearing seat body 2. After casting, the reinforcing ring 21 and the inner ring body 221 are firmly nested in the first cavity 111 and the second cavity 112. Through these two cooperations, the motor end cover 1 and the bearing seat body 2 are fixedly connected, thereby eliminating the assembly step of the two.

[0033] Please continue reading Figure 5 , wherein the first cavity 111 is fixedly connected to the reinforcement ring 21 , and the second cavity 112 is fixedly connected to the inner ring body 221 .

[0034] Specifically, the inner wall of the first cavity 111 contacts and closely fits with the outer wall of the reinforcement ring 21 , and the inner wall of the second cavity 112 contacts and closely fits with the outer wall of the inner ring body 221 .

[0035] Please continue reading Figure 4 , Figure 5 , which further includes an anti-drop component 3; the anti-drop component 3 includes at least one anti-drop groove 31 and at least one anti-drop buckle 32 that can be embedded in the anti-drop groove 31; one of the anti-drop groove 31 and the anti-drop buckle 32 is set in the first cavity 111, and the other is set in the reinforcement ring 21.

[0036] During manufacturing, the anti-drop buckle 32 can be embedded in the anti-drop groove 31. A third drop is added on the basis of the two aforementioned drops, so that the bearing seat body 2 is more tightly connected to the motor end cover 1 after casting, and the bearing seat body 2 can be prevented from loosening during use.

[0037] Preferably, see Figure 5 , wherein the anti-dropout groove 31 is configured as an annular groove and is disposed on the outer side wall of the reinforcement ring 21 ; the anti-dropout buckle 32 is configured as a circular ring and is disposed on the side wall of the first cavity 111 .

[0038] Under this arrangement, the anti-drop buckle 32 can be fully embedded in the anti-drop groove 31 during casting, so the fastening effect is better and the molding is relatively simple.

[0039] In another embodiment, the anti-slip groove 31 can also be set to multiple groove segments, which are distributed circumferentially along the outer wall of the reinforcement ring 21, and the anti-slip buckle 32 can also be set to multiple buckle points, which are distributed circumferentially along the side wall of the first cavity 111 and the number and position correspond to the multiple groove segments.

[0040] Please continue reading Figure 3 , Figure 4, wherein the bearing seat body 2 further has a bearing fixing hole 23; the bearing seat body 2 further includes a bearing limiting portion 24 arranged on the inner side wall of the inner ring body 221.

[0041] When in use, the bearing fixing hole 23 is used to install the bearing so as to provide a reliable working environment for the bearing, and the bearing limiting portion 24 is used to support the bearing from one side so that the assembler can sense whether the bearing is installed in place.

[0042] Please continue reading Figure 3 , Figure 4 , wherein the motor end cover 1 further includes an end cover outer edge 12 and an end cover inner disk 13; the end cover inner disk 13 includes a thickened portion 131 arranged in the middle; and the casting cavity 11 is arranged in the end cover thickened portion 131.

[0043] By providing the thickened portion 131 , this position can accommodate the bearing seat body 2 having a certain thickness, and this position has better structural strength so as to withstand the high-speed rotation of the motor rotor and the turbine.

[0044] Please continue reading Figure 1 , wherein the inner disk body 13 of the end cover has at least one casting positioning hole 132 arranged on one end surface.

[0045] By setting the casting positioning hole 132 , the motor end cover 1 can be positioned so as to cast the bearing seat body 2 in the casting cavity 11 .

[0046] Please continue reading Figure 1 , Figure 2 , wherein the inner disk body 13 of the end cover has an output hole 133 arranged in the middle; the output hole 133 is arranged to communicate with the bearing fixing hole 23.

[0047] When in use, the output end of the motor rotor is movably connected to the bearing in the bearing fixing hole 23 and extends out from the output hole 133 so as to be connected to the turbine.

[0048] The above description is only for the best embodiment of the utility model, but it cannot be understood as a limitation of the claims. The utility model is not limited to the above embodiments, and its specific structure is allowed to be changed. All changes made within the protection scope of the independent claims of the utility model are within the protection scope of the utility model.
