[0002] With the rapid development of the automotive industry, people are paying more and more attention to automotive EPS (Electric Power Steering) motors. The performance and stability of automotive steering motors play an important role in the driving process of the car. Among them, the air permeability and waterproofness of the steering motor are very important factors affecting the quality stability and safety of the motor.

[0003] There are two main ways to achieve the ventilation and waterproof function of steering motors on the market:

[0004] (1) A circular through hole is designed at the upper cover of the motor, and a snap-on waterproof breathable valve is installed at the circular through hole in a snap-on manner. The waterproof breathable valve is used to balance the pressure difference between the inside and outside of the motor and prevent water vapor from entering the motor through the breathable valve. However, this structural method still has shortcomings when used: it is difficult to detect whether the breathable valve is properly assembled. If the breathable valve is not properly assembled, it is easy to loosen and fall during use, affecting the normal use of the motor.

[0005] (ii) A threaded through hole is designed on the upper cover of the motor, and a threaded assembled waterproof breathable valve is installed on the threaded through hole. The waterproof breathable valve is used to balance the pressure difference between the inside and outside of the motor and prevent water vapor from entering the motor through the breathable valve. However, this structural method still has shortcomings when used: the assembly efficiency through the thread is low, and the motor will vibrate during use. The vibration affects the stability of the threaded connection, and then affects the assembly stability of the waterproof breathable valve. Utility Model Content
