An electric machine generally includes a stator and a rotor. The stator includes laminated cores and coil windings wound around the laminated cores. The rotor includes a rotating shaft and a rotor core sleeved on the rotating shaft, and permanent magnets are provided on the outer edge of the rotor core. The main function of the electric machine in a circuit is to generate a driving torque and serve as a power source for electrical appliances or various machines.

[0003] To improve the operating stability of the electric machine, it is usually necessary to install a position sensor to detect the position signal of the rotor of the electric machine, and then the controller controls the electric machine with high performance according to the position signal. An encoder is a relatively commonly used position sensor, mainly including a magnetoresistive sensor chip, a magnetic head, and a signal processing circuit, etc. Among them, the magnetic head generates a position signal as the motor rotor rotates, the sensor chip collects this position signal, and sends it to the controller via the signal processing circuit.

[0004] Related prior art such as the Chinese patent application "Servo Motor with a Magnetic Encoder", application number: CN201820554677.3, discloses an electric machine main body and an independent cooling fan coaxially connected to one end thereof. A main shaft tail magnetic head mounting seat is provided at one end of the electric machine main body connected to the independent cooling fan. The magnetic head mounting seat is fixedly connected to the magnetic head through a magnet head copper bracket, and the magnetic head is facing the center position of the magnetic signal detection board; an encoder cover is also provided between the magnetic signal detection board and the independent cooling fan; a junction box is provided on the top of the electric machine main body, and a signal line adapter board is provided in the junction box, and the signal line adapter board is electrically connected to the magnetic signal detection board.

[0005] For the existing electric machine to install an encoder, the structure of the electric machine needs to be adapted to the encoder to achieve the installation of the encoder, and the installation of the encoder in the prior art is not convenient. This application makes further improvements in this regard. Summary of the Utility Model

[0006] The technical problem to be solved by this application is to provide an electric machine with an encoder, further optimize the structure of the electric machine, adopt an independently arranged adapter to match the installation of the encoder, and adopt the method of locking the rear bearing, which can control the distance between the magnetic head and the chip of the magnetic encoder to the greatest extent and ensure the normal operation of the encoder.

[0007] The technical solution adopted in this application is as follows: A motor with an encoder, including a motor body and an encoder. The encoder includes a magnetic head and a detection chip. An outer housing is sleeved outside the motor body. The rear side of the outer housing is open and covered by a rear cover. The rear cover is provided with a stepped hole. The rear end of the main shaft of the motor body passes through the stepped hole and is installed with a magnetic head. The stepped hole includes a first through hole, a second through hole, and a third through hole arranged in ascending order of diameter. A rear bearing is installed in the second through hole. The rear cover is rotationally connected to the main shaft through the rear bearing. An adapter is installed in the third through hole, and the detection chip is installed in the adapter.

[0008] Compared with the prior art, the advantages of this application are as follows: First, the rear side of the outer housing of this application is open to facilitate the installation of the motor body. Then, a rear cover is installed at the open rear side to fix the motor body in the outer housing and protect the motor body. Second, the rear end of the main shaft of the motor body is arranged to pass through the stepped hole and is installed with a magnetic head, which simply and conveniently realizes the installation of the magnetic head. Third, an adapter is installed in the third through hole, and the detection chip is installed in the adapter. By independently setting the adapter to match the installation of the encoder, the magnet head is directly opposite to the center position of the magnetic signal detection board, ensuring the normal operation of the encoder. Moreover, the adapter is independently set and can be replaced according to different encoder structures without changing other structures of the motor, improving the universality. Finally, the stepped hole includes a first through hole, a second through hole, and a third through hole arranged in ascending order of diameter.

[0013] In some embodiments of the present application, the adapter is annular in structure, the outer diameter of the adapter is adapted to the third through hole, and the rear end of the main shaft of the motor body passes through the center axis of the adapter. The above structure is used to design the position of the magnetic head, so that the magnetic head can be as close to the detection chip as possible while following the rotation of the motor main shaft, so that the detection chip can detect the rotation of the main shaft. In the present application, the detection chip installed on the adapter is already protruding from the back cover.

An outer housing 4 is sleeved outside the motor body 1. The rear side of the outer housing 4 is open and covered by a rear cover 5. The opening on the rear side of the outer housing 4 of the present application is for the convenience of installing the motor body 1. Then, the rear cover 5 is installed at the opening on the rear side to fix the motor body 1 within the outer housing 4 and protect the motor body 1.

[0028] The rear cover 5 is provided with a stepped hole. The rear end of the main shaft 6 of the motor body 1 passes through the stepped hole and is installed with a magnetic head 2. The stepped hole includes a first through hole 7, a second through hole 8, and a third through hole 9 arranged in ascending order of diameter. A rear bearing 10 is installed in the second through hole 8. The rear cover 5 is rotationally connected to the main shaft 6 through the rear bearing 10. On the one hand, the rear bearing 10 plays a role in installing the main shaft 6 and reducing the friction of the rotation of the main shaft 6. On the other hand, after the rear bearing 10 is installed with the main shaft 6, it also realizes the limitation and fixation of the relative position between the rear cover 5 and the main shaft 6, thereby ensuring the distance between the magnetic head 2 of the magnetic encoder and the chip and guaranteeing the normal operation of the encoder.

[0029] An adapter 11 is installed in the third through hole 9, and the detection chip 3 is installed on the adapter 11. By independently setting the adapter 11 to match the installation of the encoder, the magnet head is directly opposite the center position of the magnetic signal detection board to ensure the normal operation of the encoder. Moreover, since the adapter 11 is independently set, it can be replaced according to different encoder structures without the need to modify other structures of the motor, improving the universality.

[0030] Embodiment 2, as Figures 1 to 4 shown, the rear section of the main shaft 6 has a stepped frustum structure. The rear section of the main shaft 6 includes a first section 12, a second section 13, and a third section 14 arranged in descending order of diameter.

The magnetic head 2 is located on the extension line of the central axis of the third section 14, and the magnetic head 2 is coaxially arranged with the third section 14. When the main shaft 6 of the motor rotates, it will drive the magnetic head 2 to rotate synchronously. Moreover, the magnetic head 2 of the present application is small in size, and the resistance of the rotation of the main shaft 6 is reduced as much as possible.

[0034] The adapter 11 mentioned above is integrally in an annular structure. The outer diameter of the adapter 11 is adapted to the third through hole 9, and the rear end of the main shaft 6 of the motor body 1 passes through the central axis of the adapter 11.

[0035] An outer cover 16 is covered outside the rear cover 5. The outer cover 16 is fixed to the rear cover 5 by bolts. A wiring terminal 22 is arranged on one side surface of the outer cover 16. The wires of the encoder and the wires of the motor body 1 are led out from the wiring terminal 22. That is, with the structural setting of the present application, there is no need to open holes on the outer shell 4 of the motor to lead out the wires, but the wires can directly pass through the rear cover 5 and then pass through the wiring terminal 22 on the outer cover 16.

[0036] Other contents of the second embodiment are the same as those of the first embodiment.
