Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of gardening tools, and particularly relates to a brushless motor for gardening tools. Background Art

[0002] Most gardening tools adopt a handheld structure, and their requirements for safety performance are more stringent to prevent the tool from being electrified, and there is a risk of electric shock for the user during the operation process. Brushless motors are frequently used in gardening tools. For traditional brushless outer rotor motors, the wire lead-out position of the stator winding is only wrapped with enameled wire and is not fixed. During the grass trimming process, vibrations will occur, and the lead position will move downward along the axis. Since the safety distance between the lead and the lower bracket is short, the lead will contact the lower bracket, resulting in an electrified phenomenon. The electrification will be transmitted to the cutter head, which affects both the safety of the motor itself and the safety of the operator.

The embodiments described below by referring to the drawings are exemplary and are intended to explain the present utility model and should not be construed as a limitation of the present utility model.

[0038] As Figures 1-7As shown in the figure, a brushless motor for a garden tool according to an embodiment of the present invention, the garden tool includes a lower bracket 1. In this embodiment, the brushless motor is a brushless outer rotor motor, which mainly includes a stator assembly 2, a fixing bracket 3, a rotor assembly 4 and a rotating shaft 5. The rotor assembly 4 is arranged outside the stator assembly 2, and the rotating shaft 5 passes through the stator assembly 2 and is in interference fit with the rotor assembly 4. When the stator assembly 2 is powered on, a magnetic field capable of cooperating with the rotor assembly 4 is generated, thereby driving the rotor assembly 4 to rotate and driving the rotating shaft 5 to rotate synchronously. Among them, the stator assembly 2, the rotor assembly 4 and the rotating shaft 5 are coaxially arranged.

[0039] The stator assembly 2 includes a stator winding 20, a stator core 21 and a stator bracket 22. The stator bracket 22 includes a first bracket 220 and a second bracket 221. The stator core 21 is axially located between the first bracket 220 and the second bracket 221, and one side of the first bracket 220 is connected to one side of the stator core 21, and the other side is in contact with the fixing bracket 3. The second bracket 221 is connected to the other side of the stator core 21. Among them, the stator bracket 22 is made of insulating material.

[0040] The fixing bracket 3 has a first surface and a second surface facing away from each other in the axial direction. The stator winding 20 is located on one side of the first surface, and the lower bracket 1 is located on one side of the second surface. The lead 200 on the stator winding 20 passes through the gap between the stator winding 20 and the first surface; the fixing bracket 3 is recessed axially and crosses the lead 200, so that the lead 200 and the lower bracket 1 are relatively isolated, preventing the current on the lead 200 from being conducted to the lower bracket 1.

[0041] Furthermore, the concave portion 36 of the fixing bracket 3 is in contact with the insulating portion 202 of the stator winding 20, so that the lead 200 and the lower bracket 1 are relatively insulated and isolated.

[0042] As Figure 3 shown, the stator core 21 is provided with a mating hole 210, and mating posts 222 are protruded on both the first bracket 220 and the second bracket 221. The mating post 220 is mated with the mating hole 210.

[0043] The fixing bracket 3 is made of insulating material and is arranged between the lower bracket 1 and the stator winding 20. In one way, the other side of the first bracket 220 abuts against the fixing bracket 3, and the abutting part of the two is located inside the multiple leads 200 of the stator winding 20. Thus, the multiple leads 200 and the lower bracket 1 can be completely isolated in the spaces on both sides of the fixing bracket 3, so that the contact between the multiple leads 200 and the lower bracket 1 can be completely avoided. Further, the current on the multiple leads 200 can be completely prevented from being conducted to the lower bracket 1 and then to the tool bit. This application adopts this way. In another way, the fixing bracket 3 is concave inward along the axis and crosses the lead-out part of the multiple leads 200 of the stator winding 20, which can also isolate the multiple leads 200 and the lower bracket 1 in the spaces on both sides of the fixing bracket 3. The vibration generated in the working environment basically will not cause any lead 200 to shake and contact the lower bracket 1, so that the current on the multiple leads 200 can be prevented from being conducted to the lower bracket 1 and then to the tool bit.

[0044] Multiple leads 200 are all externally connected with wire materials 23, and an enameled wire 201 is wrapped around the connection part of each lead 200 and the wire material 23. A limiting post 30 is convexly arranged on the fixing bracket 3, and the limiting post 30 is used to isolate the enameled wires 201 outside different leads 200 from each other. Specifically, multiple limiting posts 30 are arranged at intervals along the length direction perpendicular to the leads 200. Two adjacent limiting posts 30 can isolate one lead 30 from other leads 30, and there is no contact between them. Among them, the wire material 23 includes a core wire 230 connected to the lead 200 and an epidermis 231 wrapped outside the core wire 230. In the docking process, the epidermis 231 at the connection part needs to be removed to facilitate the electrical connection between the core wire 230 and the lead 200. After the electrical connection between the two, the enameled wire 201 is used for wrapping to avoid the exposure of the metal connection part and play an insulating role. However, due to the soft material and poor wear resistance of the enameled wire 201, and the compact structure of the multiple leads 200, there is a large amount of movement in the vibration environment, and the contact friction between the enameled wires 201 is more likely to cause wear. Therefore, by arranging the limiting posts 30 to separate the enameled wires 201 pairwise, the movement is reduced, and the contact between the enameled wires 201 outside different leads 200 is also avoided, thereby avoiding relative wear, ensuring the integrity and insulation of the enameled wire 201, and prolonging the service life.

[0045] See Figure 5 , multiple wire grooves 310 are further arranged on the extension part 31 of the fixing bracket 3, and the multiple wire materials 23 are respectively received in the multiple wire grooves 310. The wire grooves 310 adopt an open structure, and the multiple wire materials 23 are sorted into the wire grooves 310 in an intermittent manner. In this embodiment, three wire grooves 310 are provided, which are arranged corresponding to the three-phase wires, and each wire material 23 corresponds to one wire groove 310. Since the wire material 23 has a relatively loose structure, by arranging the wire grooves 310, the wire material 23 can be completely received in the groove body, with clear classification and the avoidance of mutual entanglement.

[0046] See also Figure 2 A limit plate 33 is arranged above the opening of the wire slot 310. The limit plate 33 is arranged horizontally on the wire slot 310 and can seal the opening of the wire slot 310 to prevent the wire 23 from escaping from the wire slot 310. Both ends of the limit plate 33 are fixedly connected to the lower bracket 1 by screws 34. The shape of the limit plate 33 adopts a strip-shaped structure. In this application, the number of limit plates 33 is one. The number of limit plates can be adaptively adjusted according to the lead-out strengths of the wire 23, which will not be described here.

[0047] The lower bracket 1 is provided with columns 12 at positions corresponding to the screws 34 , and the columns 12 are provided with threaded holes 120 for coupling with the screws 34 . In this embodiment, the two columns 12 are located on both sides of the extension portion 31 of the fixing frame 3 and can limit the extension portion 31 .

[0048] See also Figure 4 The lower bracket 1 includes a main body 11 and an extension portion 10 integrally formed with the main body 11. The extension portion 10 extends axially and is hollow. The stator core 21, the first bracket 220 and the second bracket 221 are all sleeved on the extension portion 10 of the lower bracket 1. The rotating shaft 5 passes through the extension portion 10 and is coaxially arranged with the extension portion 10.

[0049] See also Figure 4 , Figures 6-7 The main body 11 is formed with a convex portion 110, and the fixing frame 3 is provided with a concave portion 35 matched with the convex portion 110. After installation, the inner wall of the concave portion 35 can fit the outer wall of the concave portion 110. Among them, the end of the extension portion 10 adjacent to the stator core 21 is formed with a first bearing chamber 13, and the brushless motor includes at least one first bearing 6, which is sleeved on the rotating shaft 5 and placed in the first bearing chamber 13; the part of the inner wall of the convex portion 110 is formed with a second bearing chamber 14, and the brushless motor also includes at least one second bearing 7, which is sleeved on the rotating shaft 5 and placed in the second bearing chamber 14. The arrangement of the first bearing 6 and the second bearing 7 can ensure the stable rotation of the rotating shaft 5; and the integrated design of the main body 11 and the extension portion 10, on the one hand, has a more compact structure, and on the other hand, the first bearing chamber 13 and the second bearing chamber 14 are both located on the extension portion 10, thereby ensuring concentricity. In a vibration environment, the stability of the axis of the rotating shaft 5 and the theoretical center line can still be guaranteed, thereby ensuring the stability and safety of the operation of the cutter head.

[0050] See also Figure 5 The fixing frame 3 is provided with an avoidance hole 32 for the extension portion 10 of the lower bracket 1 to pass through, and an end wall 320 forming the avoidance hole 32 abuts against the other side of the first bracket 220 .

[0051] See alsoFigure 4 , the rotor assembly 4 includes a rotating housing 40 and permanent magnets 41 fixed on the rotating housing 40, and the rotating housing 40 is in interference fit with the rotating shaft 5. When the stator winding 20 is energized, a changing magnetic field is generated. Under the action of the magnetic field, the permanent magnets 41 drive the rotating housing 40 to rotate, and the rotating housing 40 drives the rotating shaft 5 to rotate synchronously.

[0052] The brushless motor further includes a fan 8 and a gear 9, and both the fan 8 and the gear 9 are in interference fit with the rotating shaft 5.

[0053] The above-described embodiments merely represent several implementation manners of the present invention, and the description thereof is relatively specific and detailed. However, it should not be construed as a limitation on the scope of the patent of the present invention. It should be noted that for those of ordinary skill in the art, without departing from the concept of the present invention, several modifications and improvements can still be made, and these all belong to the protection scope of the present invention. Therefore, the protection scope of the patent of the present invention shall be subject to the appended claims.
