Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of bearing protection, in particular to a marine variable-frequency motor for preventing shaft current. Background Technique

[0002] At present, the bearing assembly structures of high-voltage motors are not insulated. When the shaft current generated during the operation of the motor passes through the inner and outer rings and rollers of the bearing, a discharge phenomenon will occur, electro-corroding the bearing structure. In severe cases or after a long operation time, the bearing will be burned out, resulting in the shutdown of the motor and affecting the production of enterprises.

[0003] The mechanism of shaft current damaging the bearing: When the shaft current flows through the rolling elements and raceways of the bearing, an electric arc burns on the raceway, forming metal protrusions. After being rolled over by the rolling elements, these protrusions flatten out on both sides of the raceway to form washboard-like wrinkles. The longer the motor operates, the more obvious the wrinkles, the greater the current, and the deeper the wrinkles.

[0004] The formation of shaft current: Generally, the generation of shaft current in motors mainly occurs in large motors. The formation of shaft current is based on the existence of shaft voltage (the voltage generated between the two bearings of the motor or between the motor shaft and the bearing) and reaching a certain value, which is sufficient to break down the oil film in the bearing raceway, thereby forming shaft current. Therefore, a marine variable-frequency motor for preventing shaft current is proposed to solve the above problems. Content of the Utility Model

[0005] In view of the deficiencies of the prior art, the utility model provides a marine variable-frequency motor for preventing shaft current, which has the advantages of setting an insulating layer between the end cover and the bearing sleeve, thereby preventing shaft current from passing through the bearing and preventing the shaft current from burning out the motor bearing, etc., and solves the problem that when the shaft current generated during the operation of the motor passes through the inner and outer rings and rollers of the bearing, a discharge phenomenon will occur, electro-corroding the bearing structure, and in severe cases or after a long operation time, the bearing will be burned out.

[0006] To achieve the above object, the utility model provides the following technical solution: A marine variable-frequency motor for preventing shaft current, including a transmission shaft, a bearing body, a bearing inner cover and a bearing outer cover, and a protection component is arranged on the outer surface of the bearing body;

[0007] The protection component includes a bearing inner sleeve, the bearing inner sleeve is installed on the outer surface of the bearing body, a bearing outer sleeve is installed on the top of the bearing inner sleeve, a first rubber insulating pad is arranged between the bearing inner sleeve and the bearing outer sleeve, a second protection pad is installed on the top of the bearing outer sleeve, a motor housing is installed on the top of the bearing outer sleeve, a connecting plate is fixedly connected to the right side of the motor housing, a mounting plate is fixedly connected to the right side of the bearing outer cover, a movable rod is hinged to the top of the mounting plate, and a pressing plate is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the movable rod.

[0008] Furthermore, a W-shaped groove is provided inside the bearing inner sleeve, a protrusion which is aligned with the bearing inner sleeve is provided at the bottom of the bearing outer sleeve, and the first rubber insulating pad is located between the bearing inner sleeve and the bearing outer sleeve through the groove.

[0009] Furthermore, an L-shaped groove is provided on the top of the bearing sleeve, the motor housing is located on the top of the bearing sleeve, and the bottom of the second protective pad is attached to the bearing inner cover and the top of the bearing sleeve.

[0010] Furthermore, a third protective pad is installed on the top of the bearing outer cover and the bearing sleeve, and the third protective pad is in the shape of a Z-shaped pad.

[0011] Furthermore, the top of the mounting plate is rotatably connected with a rotating shaft, the movable rod is hinged at the top of the mounting plate through the rotating shaft, a connecting plate groove is opened inside the pressing plate, and the connecting plate is located inside the pressing plate through the connecting plate groove.

[0012] Furthermore, a mounting groove is provided on the top of the bearing sleeve, the connecting plate is located inside the bearing sleeve through the mounting groove, the internal threads of the pressure plate are connected with screws, and the connecting plate and the pressure plate are fixedly connected via the screws.

[0013] Compared with the prior art, the technical solution of this application has the following beneficial effects:

[0014] 1. The marine variable frequency motor prevents shaft current. When the transmission shaft is working, the shaft current generated by the bearing body is being conducted. The special design shape of the bearing outer sleeve and the bearing inner sleeve blocks the shaft current when it encounters the first rubber insulating pad. With the second protective sleeve and the third protective sleeve, the protection against the shaft current is further enhanced, thereby setting an insulating layer between the end cover and the bearing sleeve to prevent the shaft current from passing through the bearing and burning the motor bearing. Since the motor housing adopts a connection method in which the connecting plate and the pressure plate are crimped to each other, the screws are finally locked, which makes the bearing body more effective in protecting the bearing body and extends the service life under double protection.

[0015] 2. The marine variable frequency motor prevents shaft current by hingedly connecting the movable rod so that when the connecting plate presses the second protective pad and the third protective pad, the pressing plate can be snapped onto the outer surface of the connecting plate and fixed by screws, thereby ensuring that gaps are avoided as much as possible during secondary protection and the pressing is more secure.
