Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of motors, in particular to a motor shaft current conduction structure. Background Art
[0002] For a permanent magnet synchronous motor and a three-phase asynchronous motor driven by an inverter, the common-mode voltage generated may cause a discharge phenomenon between the raceway and the balls of the bearing, resulting in electrical corrosion of the bearing and damage to the bearing. To solve this problem, currently, ceramic ball bearings or insulation of the inner ring or outer ring of the bearing are usually used to avoid shaft current corrosion of the bearing; however, these methods usually have high costs or cannot effectively solve the problem of shaft current. Therefore, we propose a motor shaft current conduction structure to solve the above problems. Summary of the Utility Model
[0003] The purpose of the utility model is to solve the drawback that for a permanent magnet synchronous motor and a three-phase asynchronous motor driven by an inverter in the prior art, the common-mode voltage generated may cause a discharge phenomenon between the raceway and the balls of the bearing, resulting in electrical corrosion of the bearing and damage to the bearing, and to propose a motor shaft current conduction structure.
[0004] To achieve the above purpose, the utility model adopts the following technical scheme:
[0005] A motor shaft current conduction structure includes a motor end cover. A motor shaft is arranged in the middle of the motor end cover. The motor shaft is rotationally connected with the motor end cover through a bearing. An installation ring is clamped at the bottom surface of the outer end of the motor end cover. Carbon fiber is arranged on the installation ring. The inner end of the carbon fiber contacts the motor shaft, and the carbon fiber is tightly fixed through a voltage-conducting plate.
[0006] As a preferred technical scheme of the utility model, a clamping groove is opened at the bottom of the motor end cover. The installation ring is embedded in the clamping groove, so that the installation ring is lower than the outer end surface of the motor end cover.
[0007] As a preferred technical scheme of the utility model, an installation groove for installing the voltage-conducting plate is arranged at the bottom of the motor end cover. The voltage-conducting plate is fixed on the motor end cover through screws. The voltage-conducting plate is detachably connected with the motor end cover. By disassembling the voltage-conducting plate, the installation ring and the carbon fiber can be taken out.
[0008] As a preferred technical scheme of the utility model, the carbon fiber is annularly distributed on the inner side of the installation ring, and the carbon fiber is sleeved on the motor shaft.
[0009] The beneficial effects of the utility model are:
[0010] By installing carbon fiber on the motor end cover, the carbon fiber and the motor shaft are kept in continuous contact, and a conductive pressure plate is used to press the carbon fiber to fix it. The conduction between the inner ring and the outer ring of the bearing is achieved through the conductive parts such as the carbon fiber, the conductive pressure plate and the end cover, thus avoiding the corrosion of the shaft current of the bearing and reducing the production cost at the same time.

[0014] Next, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present utility model, rather than all the embodiments.
[0015] Referring to Figure 1-2 , a structure for conducting shaft current of a motor includes a motor end cover 1. A motor shaft 2 is arranged in the middle of the motor end cover 1. The motor shaft 2 is rotatably connected to the motor end cover 1 through a bearing 6. The connection between the motor shaft 2 and the motor end cover 1 is a conventional connection method.
[0016] Among them, a mounting ring 3 is clamped at the bottom surface of the outer end of the motor end cover 1. A clamping groove is opened at the bottom of the motor end cover 1. The mounting ring 3 is embedded in the clamping groove so that the mounting ring 3 is lower than the outer end surface of the motor end cover 1. Carbon fiber 4 is arranged on the mounting ring 3. The carbon fiber 4 is annularly distributed on the inner side of the mounting ring 3. The carbon fiber 4 is sleeved on the motor shaft 2. The inner end of the carbon fiber 4 is in contact with the motor shaft 2, and the carbon fiber 4 is tightly fixed by a conductive pressure plate 5.
[0017] Secondly, an installation groove for installing the conductive pressure plate 5 is arranged at the bottom of the motor end cover 1. The conductive pressure plate 5 is fixed on the motor end cover 1 by screws. The conductive pressure plate 5 is detachably connected to the motor end cover 1. By disassembling the conductive pressure plate 5, the mounting ring 3 and the carbon fiber 4 can be taken out.
[0018] In this embodiment: By installing the carbon fiber 4 on the motor end cover 1, the carbon fiber 4 and the motor shaft 2 are kept in continuous contact, and the carbon fiber 4 is fixed by pressing the carbon fiber 4 with the conductive pressure plate 5. The conduction between the inner and outer rings of the bearing 6 is realized through these conductive parts such as the carbon fiber 4, the conductive pressure plate 5 and the motor end cover 1, so as to avoid the corrosion of the bearing 6 caused by shaft current and reduce the production cost at the same time;
