Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the field of motors, and more specifically, to a structure for preventing electric corrosion of motor bearings. Background Art

[0002] When a permanent magnet motor for a new energy vehicle is frequency-converted, shaft voltage will be generated between the motor rotor shaft, the shaft and the bearing. When the shaft voltage accumulates to the maximum bearing value of the bearing, it will break down the bearing and discharge inside the bearing, thereby generating an electric corrosion phenomenon, affecting the service life of the bearing, and increasing the maintenance cost of the entire motor.

[0003] In order to avoid the electric corrosion failure of the bearing, some manufacturers replace the insulating bearing. However, after the motor bearing is insulated, the shaft voltage (current) will cause electric corrosion to the bearing on the reducer side, and the problem has not been fundamentally solved. There are also some manufacturers that connect conductive parts such as conductive brushes or conductive rings to the motor shaft to conduct the shaft voltage (current) on the motor shaft to the ground. However, during the high-speed operation of the motor shaft, the high-speed rotation of its conductive brushes or conductive rings will cause contact wear with surrounding related parts (such as the motor housing), resulting in poor contact and poor conductivity.

[0039] The groove of the pin body 31 is filled with conductive grease. As the front end steel ball rotates, the conductive grease will gradually coat the surface of the steel ball, thereby achieving the function of conducting shaft current. At the same time, the conductive grease overflowing from the steel ball end will be stored in the blind hole of the rotating shaft. An oil seal 9 is also provided between the blind hole 21 near the opening and the pin body 31.
