Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the field of stepping motors, and particularly to a stepping motor which is convenient for maintenance. Background Technique

[0002] A stepping motor is an open-loop control motor that converts an electrical pulse signal into an angular displacement or a linear displacement. It is the main actuator in a modern digital program control system and is widely used. Under non-overload conditions, the speed and stop position of the motor only depend on the frequency and number of pulse signals, and are not affected by load changes. When the stepping driver receives a pulse signal, it drives the stepping motor to rotate a fixed angle in the set direction, called the "step angle", and its rotation runs step by step at a fixed angle. The angular displacement can be controlled by controlling the number of pulses to achieve the purpose of accurate positioning; at the same time, the speed and acceleration of the motor rotation can be controlled by controlling the pulse frequency to achieve the purpose of speed regulation.

[0003] During the use of a stepping motor, as the use time increases, the lubricating grease effect in the motor bearing continuously deteriorates, which brings adverse effects to the operation of the motor. It is necessary to perform regular maintenance and add lubricating grease to the motor bearing to ensure the more efficient and stable operation of the motor. However, during the use of the existing stepping motor, the maintenance operation is relatively inconvenient, and the staff needs to spend a lot of time installing and disassembling the stepping motor, which brings inconvenience to the staff. Therefore, the utility model provides a stepping motor which is convenient for maintenance. Content of the Utility Model
