Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of motor housing assembly structures, and in particular to a housing structure for mounting a motor and a clothes drying machine. Background Art

[0002] A motor is an electromagnetic device that converts or transmits electrical energy based on the law of electromagnetic induction. It has a wide range of uses, especially in industrial production, where it has an irreplaceable position. Its main function is to generate driving torque. As a power source for electrical appliances or various machines, the motor is often provided with a motor casing on the outside to support and protect the motor.

[0003] When the motor is in use, one end of the motor shaft needs to be fixed on the mounting plane. If the motor body is suspended in the air, the motor will be unstable. In the prior art, when assembling the motor housing, the connecting piece needs to be inserted through the fixing seat on the motor housing and the connecting hole of the target object in sequence to connect the motor housing to the target object.

[0004] Due to the large size of the motor housing and the long connecting piece, the connecting piece needs to go through a long stroke when inserted into the fixing seat and the connecting hole. In this process, the connecting piece made of metal will be attracted by the permanent magnet in the motor housing, causing the connecting piece to shift toward the permanent magnet (i.e., the motor) during assembly. It is necessary to manually align the fixing seat on the motor housing and the connecting hole on the target object multiple times, resulting in reduced installation efficiency of the motor housing. Utility Model Content

[0005] In view of the shortcomings of the prior art, the utility model provides a shell structure for installing a motor, including a shell and a connecting mechanism, wherein an accommodating space is formed inside the shell, and the accommodating space is used to accommodate the motor; the connecting mechanism includes a fixing seat, a guide seat and a connecting piece, the fixing seat and the guide seat are connected to the outer side surface of the shell at intervals along a first direction, the fixing seat is provided with a fixing hole for the connecting piece to pass through, the guide seat is provided with a guide groove for limiting the displacement of the connecting piece toward the shell, and the connecting piece is connected to the connecting hole on the object to be connected after passing through the fixing hole and the guide groove respectively, wherein the connecting piece is connected to the connecting hole on the object to be connected, wherein the line connecting the fixing seat and the guide seat along the first direction is parallel to the axis of the connecting hole.

[0006] In one of the embodiments, at least two fixing seats are disposed on a side surface of the shell, the two fixing seats are spaced apart from each other along the first direction, and the guide seat is disposed between the two fixing seats.

[0007] In one of the embodiments, the fixing hole is provided with an internal thread, the connecting piece is correspondingly provided with an external thread, and the internal thread is adapted to the external thread.

[0008] In one of the embodiments, the projection profile of the guide groove in the first direction is a circle with a diameter D, and the projection profile of the connecting member in the first direction is a circle with a diameter d, and D>d.

[0009] In one embodiment, the number of the guide seats is two, and the two guide seats are arranged at intervals on the outer side surface of the shell along the first direction.

[0010] In one embodiment, the guide groove (221) is a through hole, and the inner diameter D of the through hole gradually increases from a side close to the object to be connected to a side away from the object to be connected.

[0011] In one of the embodiments, the projection contour of the guide groove in the first direction is an arc with a diameter of D, and the projection contour of the connecting member in the first direction is a circle with a diameter of d, where D>d.

[0031] In order to make the purpose, technical solution and advantages of the embodiments of the present application clearer, the technical solution in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are part of the embodiments of the present application, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative work are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0032] like Figure 1-Figure 10 As shown, the present application provides a housing structure 1 for mounting a motor, comprising a housing 10 and a connecting mechanism 20. An accommodating space (not shown) is formed inside the housing 10. The accommodating space is used to accommodate the motor (not shown). The connecting mechanism 20 comprises a fixing seat 210, a guide seat 220 and a connecting member 230. The fixing seat 210 and the guide seat 220 are arranged along a first direction (such as Figure 1 The fixing seat 210 is provided with a fixing hole (not shown) through which the connecting member 230 can pass. The guide seat 220 is provided with a guide groove 221 for limiting the displacement of the connecting member 230 toward the housing 10. After the connecting member 230 passes through the fixing hole and the guide groove 221 respectively, it is connected to the connecting hole on the object 2 to be connected. The connecting line of the fixing seat and the guide seat along the first direction is parallel to the axis of the connecting hole.

[0033] It can be seen that by setting the connection mechanism 20, when assembling the housing 10, under the guidance of the guide seat 220, the guide member is pushed to move along the first direction until it is sequentially connected with the fixing hole on the fixing seat 210 and the connecting hole on the object to be connected 2. In the process of pushing the guide member to move along the first direction, the guide seat 220 can assist the guide member to resist the magnetic attraction generated by the motor, thereby limiting the displacement of the connecting member 230 toward the housing 10, which is conducive to reducing the frequency of manually aligning the fixing hole and the connecting hole, thereby effectively improving the installation efficiency of the motor housing.

[0034] It should be noted that the length of the connecting member 230 should not be less than the distance between the end of the fixing seat 210 away from the connecting hole and the connecting hole, so as to ensure that the connecting member 230 can be smoothly inserted into the connecting hole after passing through the fixing hole.

[0035] In addition, the guide member may be made of a soft material, such as silicone, rubber, etc., to reduce the friction loss between the connecting member 230 and the guide member during the movement of the connecting member 230 along the first direction, thereby effectively improving the service life of the connecting member 230.

[0036] In one embodiment, Figure 1 , 2As shown in FIGS. 6 , 8 and 10 , at least two fixing seats 210 are disposed on one side of the housing 10 . The two fixing seats 210 are spaced apart from each other along the first direction. The guide seat 220 is disposed between the two fixing seats 210 .

[0037] It can be understood that the number and position of the guide seats 220 play an important role in the stability of the process of installing the connector 230, and can effectively improve the connection stability of the connector 230. Therefore, preferably, when the number of the guide seats 220 is one, the guide seat 220 should divide the distance between the two fixing seats 210 into two equal sections; when the number of the guide seats 220 is two, the two guide seats 220 should divide the distance between the two fixing seats 210 into three equal sections; when the number of the guide seats 220 is n, the n guide seats 220 should divide the distance between the two fixing seats 210 into (n+1) equal sections.

[0038] In one embodiment, the fixing hole is provided with an internal thread, and the connecting member 230 is correspondingly provided with an external thread, and the internal thread is adapted to the external thread.

[0039] It can be seen that when the installation of the object 2 to be connected to the housing 10 is completed, the connecting member 230 is screwed to the fixing seat 210, so that the connection between the connecting member 230 and the fixing seat 210 is stable. In addition, when the housing 10 needs to be removed, the connecting member 230 can be rotated in the opposite direction to release the screw connection between the connecting member 230 and the fixing seat 210, and then the connecting member 230 can be pulled out from the fixing hole. This disassembly method is simple and quick, which is conducive to improving the disassembly efficiency of the motor housing.

[0040] In one embodiment, Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, the projection profile of the guide groove 221 in the first direction is a circle with a diameter D. The projection profile of the connecting member 230 in the first direction is a circle with a diameter d, where D>d.

[0041] It can be seen that the guide groove 221 at this time can allow the connecting member 230 to pass through smoothly, and can effectively limit the connecting member 230 from deviating in a direction close to or even away from the housing 10 .

[0042] It should be noted that when the number of guide grooves 221 is one, the longer the length of the guide groove 221 in the first direction (but it must be smaller than the distance between the fixing seat 210 farthest from the connecting hole and the connecting hole), the better the guiding and limiting effect on the connecting member 230.

[0043] Preferably, if Figure 8 As shown, the number of the guide groove 221 is one, and the length of the guide groove 221 in the first direction is 9 / 10 of the distance between the two fixing seats 210 .

[0044] In one embodiment, Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, two guide seats 220 are provided on one side of the housing 10. The two guide seats 220 are spaced apart along the first direction on the outer side of the housing 10. Preferably, the two guide seats 220 in the present application are both located between the two fixing seats 210, and can divide the distance between the two fixing seats 210 into three equal sections.

[0045] In one embodiment, Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the guide groove 211 is a through hole, and the inner diameter D of the through hole gradually increases from the side close to the object to be connected 2 to the side of the object to be connected 2.

[0046] In addition, the openings at both ends of the guide groove 221 are a first opening 2211 and a second opening 2212. The first opening 2211 is arranged toward the connecting hole. The inner diameter D of the guide groove 221 gradually increases from the first opening 2211 to the second opening 2212. The projection contour of the first opening 2211 in the first direction is a circle with a diameter of D1. The projection contour of the second opening 2212 in the first direction is a circle with a diameter of D2, and D1<D2.

[0047] It can be seen from this that the guide groove 221 at this time is in a "trumpet-mouth" shape. Compared with the guide groove 221 structure of D1=D2, the "trumpet-mouth" shape can effectively increase the "guiding range" of the guide groove 221, so that the connecting piece 230 that has deviated to a certain extent relative to the first direction can also smoothly enter the second opening 2212 and pass through the first opening 2211. Therefore, this solution can also reduce the frequency of manual alignment of the guide groove 221, thereby further improving the installation efficiency of the motor housing.

[0048] In one embodiment, Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, the projection contour of the guide groove 221 in the first direction is an arc with a diameter of D. The projection contour of the connecting member 230 in the first direction is a circle with a diameter of d, D>d. The opening direction of the guide groove 221 is arranged away from the housing 10 .

[0049] It can be seen from this that the guide groove 221 in this solution can not only effectively limit the deviation of the connecting member 230 towards the direction close to the shell 10, but also reduce the difficulty of the user to "align the connecting member 230 with the guide groove 221", reduce the frequency of manual alignment of the guide groove 221, thereby further improving the installation efficiency of the motor housing.

[0050] In one embodiment, Figure 8 , Fig. 9 as well as Fig.10 As shown, the depth of the guide groove 221 is S, and D / 2≤S<D. At this time, the projection profile of the guide groove 221 in the first direction is a major arc with a diameter of D.

[0051] It should be noted that when the depth S of the guide groove 221 is greater than D / 2, the guide groove 221 can not only limit the connection member 230 from deviating toward the direction close to the housing 10 , but also limit the connection member 230 from deviating toward the direction away from the housing 10 .

[0052] In one embodiment, the depth of the guide groove 221 is S, and D / 3≤S<D / 2. At this time, the projection of the guide groove 221 in the first direction is a minor arc with a diameter of D.

[0053] Preferably, in this embodiment, the depth S of the guide groove 221 is equal to D / 2.

[0054] It should also be noted that the connecting member 230 passes through the guide groove 221 in the first direction for fixed installation. The guide groove 221 has different depths, so that the guide groove 221 has different effects:

[0055] When the depth S of the guide groove 221 is greater than D / 2, the guide groove 221 is a deep groove capable of containing the connecting member 230. At this time, it is equivalent to the connecting member 230 being inserted into the guide groove 221, and the guide groove 221 plays the role of guiding, supporting and limiting.

[0056] When the depth S of the guide groove 221 is between D / 3 and D / 2, the shape of the guide groove 221 is a shallow groove smaller than a semicircle. At this time, the connecting member 230 is mounted on the guide groove, and the guide groove 221 plays a guiding and supporting role.

[0057] In one embodiment, at least two guide seats 220 are disposed on a side surface of the housing 10. The two guide seats 220 are disposed on the outer side surface of the housing 10 at intervals along the first direction.

[0058] Furthermore, the connection mechanism 20 further includes a nut 240, which is installed at one end of the connection member 230 away from the connection hole. The nut 240 is used to fix the connection member 230 and the fixing seat 210, which is conducive to further improving the connection stability between the connection member 230 and the fixing seat 210.

[0059] Specifically, in this embodiment, the nut 240 is hollow, and its inner wall is provided with internal threads; the outer periphery of the end of the connector 230 away from the connecting hole is provided with external threads, so the nut 240 can be screwed with the end of the connector 230 away from the connecting hole. When the nut 240 is fixed, the end of the nut 240 facing the connecting hole abuts against the end of the connecting seat away from the connecting hole, thereby firmly fixing the connector 230 and the fixing seat 210.

[0060] In addition, the present application also provides a clothes drying machine (not shown), including a motor and the above-mentioned housing structure 1 for mounting the motor.
