Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of motors, and in particular to a motor exhaust device. Background Art
[0002] At present, the hub motor basically has no exhaust device. When the motor is in normal operation, the stator and rotor will heat up. The inner cavity of the motor is a closed space. When the motor heats up, the gas in the inner cavity will expand and cause the pressure in the motor cavity to increase. When the pressure in the motor cavity increases, and the internal gas cannot be discharged, it will continuously impact the motor sealing device, such as the oil seal, the contact surface between the end cover and the wheel hub, and the position of the outlet hole. Under long-term high pressure, the seal may fail, which will eventually lead to the failure of the motor waterproofing and the failure of the motor due to water ingress.
[0003] Some motors also use breathable valves to balance the pressure difference between the motor and the outside. However, the current breathable valve technology is only suitable for dust-free, oil-free and water-free environments. It is easy to fail and become blocked in dust, oil and water environments. In addition, the current breathable valves are made of a waterproof breathable membrane material. The pores on the surface of this waterproof breathable membrane are very small, resulting in a very slow ventilation speed.
[0004] There is also a one-way exhaust valve. When the motor heats up, the internal high-pressure gas is discharged. When the motor cools down, the outside air cannot enter the motor, which will form a negative pressure inside the motor, also causing the air pressure inside and outside the motor to be unbalanced.
[0005] With the development of the electric vehicle industry, the motor power is getting bigger and bigger, the corresponding motor stator heat is also getting bigger and bigger, and the internal air pressure of the hub motor is also getting bigger, which requires a more effective, more reliable and more adaptable exhaust device.

[0018] Compared with the prior art, the utility model has the following beneficial effects:
[0019] The present application uses an internal air storage bag of the motor to connect to the outside of the motor through an exhaust hose.

It has a wide range of applications, maintains the waterproof performance of the motor, and increases the service life of the motor. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0024] The utility model is described in detail below in conjunction with specific embodiments. The following embodiments will help those skilled in the art to further understand the utility model, but do not limit the utility model in any form. It should be pointed out that for those of ordinary skill in the art, several changes and improvements can be made without departing from the concept of the utility model. These all belong to the protection scope of the utility model.
[0025] Example
[0026] According to a motor exhaust device provided by the utility model, Figure 1-2 As shown, it includes: a motor rotor 11, a motor stator 12 and a bearing 4. The motor rotor 11 is composed of a wheel hub 1, a motor left end cover 2 and a motor right end cover 10. The motor stator 12 is composed of a stator core 3, a motor shaft 6 and an air storage bag 9. The motor rotor 11 and the motor stator 12 are connected by the bearing 4 to form a complete wheel hub motor.
[0027] The motor left end cover 2 and the motor right end cover 10 are fixed to both sides of the wheel hub 1, and the fixed surfaces between the wheel hub 1 and the motor left end cover 2 and the motor right end cover 10 are coated with sealant, and an oil seal 5 is provided between the motor left end cover 2 and the motor right end cover 10 and the motor shaft 6. The motor interior forms a closed motor cavity 001 through the cooperation of the motor rotor 11 and the motor stator 12, and the air storage bag 9 is located inside the motor cavity 001 of the motor, and the air storage bag 9 does not contact the motor rotor 11. The air storage bag 9 is fixedly connected to the stator core 3, and the stator core 3 is connected to both sides of the motor shaft 6.
[0028] An exhaust hole 601 is provided at one end of the motor shaft 6, and the exhaust hole 601 is connected to the outside of the motor. A wire outlet hole 602 is provided at the other end of the motor shaft 6, and a power line is installed in the wire outlet hole 602, and the wire outlet hole 602 is filled with sealant. The air storage bag 9 is connected to the exhaust hole 601 through the exhaust hose 8 and the air pipe joint 7 in sequence. The exhaust hose 8 is formed integrally with the air storage bag 9; or, the exhaust hose 8 is fixedly connected to the air storage bag inner cavity 901 of the air storage bag 9.
[0029] The material used for the air bag 9 is elastic, high temperature resistant and aging resistant rubber, or other materials with the same characteristics. Its size should occupy the motor cavity 001 to the maximum extent, but should not have any contact with the motor rotor 11. The air bag 9 needs to be pre-inflated during assembly, and the inflation pressure is equal to or slightly greater than the normal atmospheric pressure, between 1-1.5 atmospheric pressures.
[0030] During normal operation of the motor, the stator and rotor will generate heat. The inner cavity 001 of the motor is a completely enclosed space. When the motor generates heat, the gas in the inner cavity 001 will expand, causing the pressure in the inner cavity 001 of the motor to increase. The air storage bag 9 is directly connected to the outside of the motor through the motor shaft exhaust hole 601 inside the motor. When the pressure in the inner cavity 001 of the motor increases, the air storage bag 9 will become smaller due to the gas discharged under pressure. The air storage bag 9 can be reduced to the maximum extent until all the gas in the inner cavity 901 of the air storage bag is discharged, and the volume of the air storage bag 9 will be greatly reduced. This is equivalent to increasing the space in the inner cavity 001 of the motor, absorbing the pressure generated by the expansion of the gas in the inner cavity 001, thereby balancing the pressure inside and outside the motor.
[0031] When the motor stops working, the temperature inside the motor gradually decreases, and the temperature of the gas in the inner cavity 001 also decreases accordingly. The air temperature decreases and the volume of the motor inner cavity 001 also shrinks accordingly. At this time, the air pressure in the air storage bag inner cavity 901 also decreases to negative pressure, so that the external air pressure enters the air storage bag inner cavity 901, and the air storage bag 9 returns to its original state volume.
[0032] In this way, by reducing or increasing the size of the air storage bag inner cavity 901, the motor is improved due to the internal and external pressure difference, the situation where the motor seal is damaged due to the pressure difference is reduced, the waterproof performance of the motor is maintained, and the service life of the motor is increased.
