DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0040] In order to make the content of the utility model more clearly understood, the utility model is further described in detail below based on specific embodiments and in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0041] Embodiment 1:

[0042] See also Figures 1 to 8 As shown, this embodiment provides an outlet box suitable for a stepper motor, comprising: an outlet box cover 1 for covering a wiring opening 21 on a housing 2 of the stepper motor, and a buckle provided on the outlet box cover 1 for matching with a coil frame 3 of the stepper motor. That is to say, for the overall outlet box, the outlet box is fixed relative to the motor assembly of the stepper motor by the buckle and the coil frame 3, and the outlet box cover 1 matches with the wiring opening 21 to cover the wiring opening 21.

[0043] Furthermore, in order to prevent dust or small flying insects and other tiny debris from entering the interior of the housing 2 through the matching gap formed by the outlet box cover 1 and the wiring opening 21 of the housing 2, the outlet box of this embodiment is designed as follows:

[0044] Generally speaking, an outer side wall is formed on the outlet box cover 1 for fitting on the outer side wall of the opening edge of the wiring opening 21; under this structure, after the buckle of the outlet box and the coil frame 3 are snapped into place, the outer side wall fits on the outer side wall of the casing 2 and just covers the wiring opening 21.

[0045] Next, an optional implementation is given in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. The wiring opening 21 can be any mature means in the prior art, and this embodiment does not make an absolute limitation on this. Here, a conventional implementation technical solution is given as an example. The wiring opening 21 is U-shaped, that is, the wiring opening 21 includes a pair of longitudinal side edges 211 distributed in pairs and a transverse bottom edge 212 connected to the pair of longitudinal side edges 211 at the same time; and the side edge opposite to the transverse bottom edge 212 is an open opening.

[0046] Based on the structure of the wiring opening 21 , firstly, the outer edging wall used in this embodiment includes at least a pair of longitudinal outer edgings 11 for one-to-one fitting on the outer side walls of a pair of longitudinal side edges 211 .

[0047] Furthermore, the side end surface of the outlet box cover 1 facing the coil frame 3 is also provided with a convex transverse inner edging wall 12 suitable for extending into the wiring opening 21. Based on this structure, when the buckle of the outlet box and the coil frame 3 are assembled in place, the connecting wall formed between the transverse inner edging wall 12 and the outlet box cover 1 can be pressed against the transverse bottom edge 212 of the wiring opening 21. Here, the length of the connecting wall is preferably equal to the length of the transverse bottom edge 212 of the wiring opening 21, so that when the outlet box cover 1 and the wiring opening 21 are in a matched state, the connecting wall can achieve sealing of the transverse bottom edge 212.

[0048] Based on the above situation, it is necessary to explain that the length of the transverse inner edging wall 12 can be equal to the length of the transverse bottom edge 212 or greater than the length of the transverse bottom edge 212, and this embodiment does not make an absolute limitation on this. From the perspective of facilitating demoulding of the outlet box during the production process, the length of the transverse inner edging wall 12 can be equal to the length of the transverse bottom edge 212.

[0049] On the basis of the above structure, in an optional implementation, in order to further strengthen the sealing of the matching structure formed by the outer edging wall and the housing 2 of the stepper motor, the outer edging wall used in this embodiment also includes a transverse outer edging 13 for fitting on the outer side wall of the transverse bottom edge 212 of the wiring opening 21. Based on this structure, that is to say, for a pair of longitudinal side edges 211 and a transverse bottom edge 212 of the wiring opening 21, a sealing fit with the outer side wall of the housing 2 is achieved by a pair of matching longitudinal outer edging 11 and transverse outer edging 13, respectively. It is necessary to explain here that when the transverse outer edging 13 is designed, the length of the transverse inner edging wall 12 can be less than the length of the transverse bottom edge 212 of the wiring opening 21. Under this design, it is convenient to demold the outlet box during the production process.

[0050] In the preferred case here, a pair of longitudinal outer edges 11 and transverse outer edges 13 are integrally formed, so that the outer edge walls form a slide rail structure relative to the outer side walls of the casing 2. In the process of assembling the outlet box of this embodiment with the casing 2 of the stepper motor, the outlet box is plugged into the wiring opening 21 as a whole from the opening where the casing 2 and the cover plate 4 are riveted together along the longitudinal height direction of the casing 2. Therefore, designing the outer edge walls here to form a slide rail structure relative to the outer side walls of the casing 2 can improve the positioning accuracy of the outlet box when plugging into the wiring opening 21 of the casing 2, thereby improving the assembly efficiency.

[0051] Based on the above situation, it is necessary to explain that a recessed groove 15 suitable for the transverse bottom edge 212 of the wiring opening 21 to be engaged therein is formed between the transverse inner edging wall 12 and the transverse outer edging 13. Under this structure, the engagement between the recessed groove 15 and the transverse bottom edge 212 of the wiring opening 21 can improve the stability of the outlet box cover 1 and the housing 2 in the assembled state.

[0052] It should be noted that in order to improve the sealing effect when the outer edge wall and the outer wall of the casing 2 of the stepper motor are in contact, the pair of longitudinal outer edges 11 and transverse outer edges 13 used in this embodiment are both arc-shaped structures that conform to the outer wall of the casing 2 of the stepper motor.

[0053] In addition, in an optional implementation, the outer edges of a pair of longitudinal outer edges 11 are formed with chamfers K1 or rounded corners. This structure can prevent the motor assembly casing 2 from damaging the outlet box cover 1 when the casing 2 is deformed and expanded outward when riveted to the cover plate 4.

[0054] On the basis of the above structure, in order to improve the firmness and stability of the outlet box assembled with the motor assembly during use, the outlet box cover 1 in this embodiment is provided with a support rib 16 on the end surface facing the coil frame 3; and the coil frame 3 is provided with a support block 31 suitable for abutting and cooperating with the support rib 16. Under this structure, when the outlet box is under pressure, it is more firm to prevent excessive external pressure, and the stress is all concentrated on the outer side wall, which causes the outer side wall to be damaged or even broken.

[0055] Next, the connection between the outlet box cover 1 and the coil frame 3 is described:

[0056] For example, in an optional case, the buckle includes a pair of protruding fixing claws formed on the side end surface of the outlet box cover 1 facing the coil frame 3. Correspondingly, a pair of clamping blocks 32 for one-to-one clamping cooperation with the pair of fixing claws are provided on the coil frame 3.

[0057] More specifically, the pair of fixing claws here include a connector 17 connected to the end face of the outlet box cover 1 facing the coil frame 3 and a claw head 18 arranged on the connector 17; wherein the connector 17 is a solid plate structure, which can increase the strength of the fixing claws and make the fixing structure formed by the fixing claws and the coil frame 3 more firm.

[0058] Furthermore, based on the above structure, it is also necessary to explain that a pair of claw heads 18 are formed with chamfered transition structures K2 at the ends facing the lateral bottom edge 212. Since in the process of assembling the outlet box of this embodiment with the casing 2 of the stepper motor, the outlet box is as a whole from the opening where the casing 2 and the cover plate 4 are riveted to the wiring opening 21 along the longitudinal height direction of the casing 2, the design of the chamfered transition structure K2 here facilitates the assembly of the outlet box cover 1 to the wiring opening 21 of the stepper motor, thereby preventing the casing 2 from colliding with the claw heads 18 and causing damage to the claw heads 18 when the outlet box and the casing 2 are installed.

[0059] In addition, in an optional implementation, a pair of claw heads 18 are formed with a slot 181 suitable for inserting the card block 32. In this regard, chamfers are respectively formed on the matching surfaces of the card block 32 and the slot 181, that is, a first installation chamfer K3 is formed on the card block 32, and a second installation chamfer K4 is formed on the slot 181. This design makes it easier for the card block 32 to slide into the slot 181, thereby preventing the claw head 18 from being damaged or even broken due to excessive force.

[0060] In summary, for the outlet box of the present embodiment suitable for the stepper motor, it is not only possible to prevent tiny debris such as dust or small flies from entering the interior of the housing 2 through the matching gap formed by the outlet box cover 1 and the wiring opening 21 of the housing 2, but also to improve the stability of the matching structure formed by the outlet box and the housing 2 during long-term use.
