Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of motor waterproofing, and specifically relates to a waterproof motor for electric vehicles. Background Art

[0002] A waterproof motor for an electric vehicle is a special type of motor that, through special structural design and material selection, can prevent water or moisture from entering the interior of the motor, ensuring that the motor can operate normally in a humid or underwater environment without being damaged by water.

[0003] According to CN202020765929.4 disclosed in the Chinese patent, in this application document, by setting a partition net frame and a filler, when a certain amount of water vapor and dust enter the motor, the filler in the partition net frame can adsorb the dust and water vapor, preventing the water vapor and dust from affecting the use of the motor;

[0004] Although the partition net frame and filler in the application document can effectively handle the problems of water vapor and dust, during use, since a permanent magnet DC motor is usually used for the waterproof motor of an electric vehicle, only a rubber ring is used to seal the outer shell and the cover. The heat generated during the operation of the motor will be conducted to the outer shell and the cover, thereby affecting the rubber ring. Rubber materials are prone to aging in a high-temperature environment, manifested as hardening, embrittlement, and even loss of elasticity, thus reducing the waterproof performance. For this reason, we propose a waterproof motor for electric vehicles. Content of the Utility Model

Two groups of magnets 6 are fixed to the inner wall of the motor housing 1, and they are used to generate electromagnetic interaction with the rotor 5 to drive the motor to rotate.

[0029] Furthermore, the first sealing structure includes a sealing block 8, a first placement groove 9, a first sealing ring 10, and a second placement groove 11. A sealing block 8 is fixedly connected to the corresponding position of the inner wall of the motor housing 1 and the top of the magnet 6. A first placement groove 9 is opened at the top of the sealing block 8. The inner wall of the first placement groove 9 is movably connected with a first sealing ring 10. A second placement groove 11 is opened at the corresponding position of the outer side of the first sealing ring 10 and the bottom of the motor cover 2. The inner wall of the second placement groove 11 is movably connected with the outer side of the first sealing ring 10. The sealing block 8 is fixed at the corresponding position of the inner wall of the motor housing 1 and the top of the magnet 6. The first placement groove 9 is opened at the top of the sealing block 8 for placing the first sealing ring 10. The first sealing ring 10 is located in the first placement groove 9 and is movably connected with the second placement groove 11 opened at the bottom of the motor cover 2 to form a seal between the motor housing 1 and the motor cover 2.

[0030] Furthermore, a first tapered block 13 is fixedly connected to the corresponding position of the outer side of the connecting shaft 12 and the top of the rotor 5, and the first tapered block 13 is conical.

[0031] Furthermore, the seal compensation structure includes a second sealing ring 14 and a second tapered block 15.

[0034] Working principle:

[0035] The motor housing 1 and the motor cover 2 form the main housing of the motor and are connected together by a snap connection. Two groups of magnets 6 are fixed to the inner wall of the motor housing 1, which are used to generate electromagnetic interaction with the rotor 5 to drive the motor to rotate. The sealing block 8 is fixed at the position corresponding to the top of the magnet 6 on the inner wall of the motor housing 1. The first placement groove 9 is opened at the top of the sealing block 8 for placing the first sealing ring 10. The first sealing ring 10 is located in the first placement groove 9 and is movably connected to the second placement groove 11 opened at the bottom of the motor cover 2 to form a seal between the motor housing 1 and the motor cover 2. The first conical block 13 is fixed at the position corresponding to the top of the rotor 5 on the outside of the connecting shaft 12. The second sealing ring 14 is movably connected to the outside of the first conical block 13. When the rotating shaft 3 moves up and down, the second conical block 15 can move accordingly to squeeze the second sealing ring 14 to play a role in seal compensation. The rotating shaft 3 is threadedly connected to the outside of the top of the connecting shaft 12 through the threaded groove 7 at its axis. One end of the rotating shaft 3 penetrates through the motor cover 2 and extends to the outside, and two groups of rotating blocks 4 are fixed thereon to provide an external operation interface for the user or tool to rotate the rotating shaft 3. When the rotating block 4 is rotated, the rotating shaft 3 starts to rotate and moves downward, causing the second conical block 15 to move downward and squeeze the second sealing ring 14, which can compensate for the change in the seal gap caused by the temperature change inside the motor and maintain the stability of the sealing performance.
