[0034] The present invention is further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific implementations. It should be understood that the specific implementations described in this specification are only for explaining the present invention, and are not intended to limit the present invention.

[0035] Figure 1 and Figure 2The schematic diagram of the structure and the exploded schematic diagram of the structure of a distribution ring installation structure provided according to an embodiment of the utility model are respectively shown. The collector ring installation structure has an axial direction Z, and the collector ring installation structure includes a bracket 100, an iron core 200 and a collector ring 300. The bracket 100 is a hollow cylindrical structure, and both ends of the bracket 100 in the axial direction Z have open surfaces for the motor rotor shaft to pass through. A plurality of iron cores 200 are fixedly installed on the inner wall of the bracket 100 in the circumferential direction of the bracket 100. The collector ring 300 annular structure is arranged on one side of the iron core 200 in the axial direction Z. In the axial direction Z, the iron core 200 overlaps with the orthographic projection of the collector ring 300.

[0036] Combination Figure 3 As shown, the core 200 includes a block-shaped substrate 210 and a shell 220 wrapped around the surface of the substrate 210. The shell 220 is used to protect the substrate 210 and insulate the substrate 210 from external components (such as windings wound around the periphery of the core 200). The material of the substrate 210 includes silicon steel material, and the material of the shell 220 includes plastic material. The core 200 is fixedly mounted on the inner wall of the bracket 100 through the shell 220. A first connecting member is provided on the side of the shell 220 facing the axial direction Z. A second connecting member is provided on the side of the collector ring 300 facing the core 200 at a position corresponding to the first connecting member, and the first connecting member is matched with the second connecting member to fix the collector ring 300 on the core 200.

[0037] The present application replaces the structure of fixed connection between the bracket and the collector ring in the prior art with a structure in which the collector ring 300 is installed on the shell 220 of the core 200, thereby avoiding the need to extend the bracket 100 to the position of the collector ring 300 for installing the collector ring 300, thereby reducing the size of the bracket 100, reducing the weight of the product and reducing the production cost.

[0038] Specifically, in this embodiment, the first connecting member is a boss 221 extending along the axial direction Z, and the second connecting member is a mounting seat 310 arranged on the side of the collector ring 300 facing the core 200. The axis of the mounting seat 310 has a mounting hole 311 that is compatible with the aperture and the diameter of the boss 221. The boss 221 is at least partially embedded in the mounting hole 311 to fix the collector ring 300 on the core 200.

[0039] It should be noted that, in this embodiment, the boss 221 is disposed on the housing 220 of the core 200, and the mounting seat 310 and the mounting hole 311 are disposed on the collector ring 300. In other embodiments, the boss 221 may also be disposed on the collector ring 300, and the mounting seat 310 and the mounting hole 311 may be disposed on the housing 220, and the positions of the two may be interchanged, which is not specifically limited herein.

[0040] It should also be noted that, in this embodiment, the first connector and the second connector are connection structures in which the boss 221 is matched with the mounting hole 311. In other embodiments, the first connector and the second connector may be connection structures such as buckles, which are not specifically limited here.

[0041] Furthermore, the collector ring mounting structure also includes a first direction X perpendicular to the axial direction Z and a reference plane A perpendicular to the first direction X. In the first direction X, the orthographic projection of the bracket 100 on the reference plane A is separated from the orthographic projection of the collector ring 300 on the reference plane A. Compared with the structure in the prior art in which the bracket 100 extends to the position of the collector ring 300 and is connected to the collector ring 300, the size of the bracket 100 in the axial direction Z of the present application is smaller to meet the demand for lightweight products. The housing 220 and the collector ring 300 are usually made of plastic material with insulating properties, and the bracket 100 is made of metal material. The cost of plastic material is lower than that of metal material, thereby reducing the cost of the product.

[0042] Furthermore, the housing 220 and the first connecting piece are an integrated structure, and the collector ring 300 and the second connecting piece are an integrated structure. Both are formed using an integrated injection molding process, which reduces manufacturing costs. The integrated structure can reduce the number of product parts, simplify the assembly process, and further reduce production costs.

[0043] Furthermore, the materials of the collector ring 300 and the housing 220 include plastic materials, and the thermal expansion coefficients of the materials of the collector ring 300 and the housing 220 are similar, and the thermal expansion coefficient of the collector ring 300 is in the range of 14*10 -6 / ℃~16*10 -6 / ℃, the thermal expansion coefficient of the housing 220 is in the range of 10.5*10 -6 / ℃~12.5*10 -6 / ℃, the difference in thermal expansion coefficients between the two is less than 5.5*10 -6 / ℃. When the motor is working and generating heat, the thermal expansion coefficients of the collector ring 300 and the housing 220 are similar. Compared with the structure in which the metal bracket 100 is connected to the plastic collector ring 300 in the prior art, the connection effect of the first connector and the second connector is less affected by thermal expansion, thereby improving the stability of the product.

[0044] In this embodiment, the present application is provided with 36 cores 200, the number of first connectors is 36 corresponding to the number of cores 200, the number of second connectors provided on the collector ring 300 is 6, and the second connectors are evenly provided on the collector ring 300. It should be noted that in other embodiments, the number of cores 200 can be set according to product performance requirements, the second connectors on the collector ring 300 can also be set according to actual requirements, and the number of first connectors is greater than or equal to the number of second connectors, which is not specifically limited here. The outer shells 220 of all cores 200 have first connectors regardless of whether there are corresponding second connectors, because the outer shells 220 of all cores 200 are formed by injection molding using the same mold, and there is no need to open a mold for designing cores 200 without first connectors, so as to reduce production costs.

[0045] Reference Figure 4 As shown, an annular winding groove is also provided on the outer periphery of the shell 220 of the core 200, and a strip pattern is provided on the bottom of the winding groove. The winding groove is used for bundling the winding on the outer periphery of the core 200. The strip pattern has a limiting effect on the metal wire of the winding, which facilitates bundling in the winding process of the winding and makes the metal wire in the winding evenly arranged, thereby improving the consistency of the stator composed of the core 200 and the winding, thereby improving the reliability and stability of the product.

[0046] Reference Figure 5 As shown, a plurality of annular grooves 301 and busbars 320 are provided on the side of the collector ring 300 away from the core 200, and the grooves 301 are coaxially arranged with the busbars 320. The busbars 320 are used to electrically connect the power input of the motor with the winding of the stator. The busbars 320 are annular structures with a notch. The busbars 320 are arranged in the grooves 301. The grooves 301 are used to isolate the busbars 320 corresponding to different phases to prevent the busbars 320 corresponding to different phases from contacting and short-circuiting. The busbars 320 include a terminal 321 arranged at the notch position of the busbars 320, and the terminal 321 is used to electrically connect the power input and the winding of the stator.

[0047] Furthermore, the lead terminals 321 of adjacent slip rings are staggered with each other in the radial direction of the slip ring 300 to improve the anti-electromagnetic interference (EMI) performance of the product.

[0048] Furthermore, a circular intermittently extending threading groove 302 is provided on the collector ring 300. The threading groove 302 is arranged on the outer periphery of all the grooves 301. The threading groove 302 passes through the collector ring 300 in the axial direction Z. The threading groove 302 is used for threading the line, so that the line is passed from one side of the collector ring 300 to the other side of the collector ring 300. The line electrically connects the winding and the bus 320.

[0049] On the other hand, the present application further discloses a motor. In addition to or instead of one or more of the features disclosed above, the motor includes a collector ring mounting structure as described above, and the motor also includes: a winding, the winding is wound around the outer periphery of the iron core 200, and the winding and the iron core 200 are configured to form a stator; a rotor shaft, the rotor shaft is rotatably arranged around the axial direction Z in a space surrounded by a plurality of stators; and a rotor, the rotor is fixedly mounted on the rotor shaft.

[0050] The above-mentioned embodiments only express several implementation methods of the present application. It should be noted that, for ordinary technicians in this field, several modifications and improvements can be made without departing from the concept of the present application, which all belong to the protection scope of the present application. Therefore, the protection scope of the patent of this application shall be subject to the attached claims.
