[0033] Please refer to Figure 1 , the steel sleeve body 100 has an arc outer wall and an anti-rotation outer wall that are connected to each other. At least one annular groove 110 is provided on the arc outer wall. The two side edges of the annular groove 110 distributed along the axial direction of the steel sleeve body 100 are respectively used as the first limiting edge 150 and the second limiting edge 160. An anti-rotation surface 120 is provided on the anti-rotation outer wall, and the anti-rotation surface 120 partially or completely covers the anti-rotation outer wall. The steel sleeve body 100 is applied in the field of end covers. An annular groove 110 is provided at the middle of the circumferential surface of the arc outer wall of the steel sleeve body 100. An anti-rotation surface 120 is provided in the vertical direction of the anti-rotation outer wall of the steel sleeve body 100. The anti-rotation surface 120 is made by means such as cutting, shearing, and punching. The annular groove 110 can prevent the steel sleeve from detaching from the end cover, which is beneficial to preventing the steel sleeve from generating an axial displacement relative to the end cover. In this embodiment, the axial direction is the up and down direction. The anti-rotation surface 120 is beneficial to preventing the steel sleeve from generating a circumferential displacement relative to the end cover, that is, preventing the steel sleeve from generating relative movement on the end cover. Please refer to Figure 3 , after the steel sleeve and the end cover are installed, the steel sleeve is effectively clamped on the end cover to prevent the steel sleeve from rotating or falling relatively; the anti-rotation surface 120 can completely cover the anti-rotation outer wall, and the anti-rotation outer wall can also include the anti-rotation surface 120 and the first chamfers 130 provided at both ends of the anti-rotation surface 120.
[0034] Please refer to Figure 1 , the anti-rotation surface 120 is an axial section, and the axial section is parallel to the axis of the annular groove 110. The axial section is a section in the up and down direction, and the axial section is perpendicular to the top surface and the bottom surface of the steel sleeve body.
[0035] As Figure 1 shown, the steel sleeve further includes first chamfers 130, and the first chamfers 130 are provided at the corner lines at the transverse two ends of the anti-rotation surface 120. The first chamfers 130 are in the structure of rounded corners, which can make the steel sleeve body 100 look smoother and more beautiful, eliminate the sharp corner lines, and are beneficial to preventing bump damage.
[0036] As Figure 1 shown, a second chamfer 140 is provided at the top of the inner circumferential surface of the steel sleeve body 100. The second chamfer 140 is a characteristic structure that cooperates with the motor output shaft and is determined according to the specific motor structure.

In this embodiment, the cross-sectional shape of the annular groove 110 is a rectangle. Under different models or manufacturing requirements, it can also be other geometric shapes. If the annular groove 110 is any one of a V shape, a trapezoid, and an arc, the beneficial effect is to increase the contact area, thereby increasing the friction area, so that the friction force between the two increases, thus achieving a better clamping function.
[0038] Please refer to Figure 2 , this embodiment also provides an end cover, including an end cover body 200. The end cover body 200 is provided with a central hole 210. The end cover body 200 is provided with a stepped groove 220 around the central hole 210. An annular protrusion 230 and a rotation prevention surface 240 are provided on the circumferential surface of the inner wall of the stepped groove 220. The two side edges of the annular protrusion 230 distributed along the axial direction of the stepped groove 220 are respectively used as a third limiting edge 280 and a fourth limiting edge 290. By abutting the third limiting edge 280 against the first limiting edge 150, and then abutting the fourth limiting edge 290 against the second limiting edge 160, the annular protrusion 230 is embedded in the annular groove 110, and the rotation prevention surface 240 is embedded in the anti-rotation surface 120, so that the steel sleeve is embedded in the end cover; the end cover body 200 embedded with the steel sleeve body 100 is applied in the field of motors. The end cover body 200 and the steel sleeve are in a mutually cooperative relationship. The motor output shaft passes through the central hole 210, and the steel sleeve is embedded in the stepped groove 220. Please refer to Figure 3 , by providing an annular protrusion 230 for limiting the annular groove 110 in the steel sleeve and a rotation prevention surface 240 for clamping the anti-rotation surface 120 in the stepped groove 220 of the end cover body 200, the steel sleeve body 100 can be effectively clamped on the end cover body 200. The rotation prevention surface 240, the annular protrusion 230, and the end cover body 200 are all integrated structures.
[0039] Please refer to Figure 2, the cross-sectional shape of the annular bump 230 is any one of a rectangle, a V-shape, a trapezoid, and an arc. The cross-sectional shape of the annular bump 230 is designed to match and define the cross-sectional shape of the annular groove 110. The cross-sectional shape of the annular bump 230 is any one of a rectangle, a V-shape, a trapezoid, and an arc. In this embodiment, the cross-sectional shape of the annular bump 230 is a rectangle. Under different models or manufacturing requirements, it can also be other geometric shapes.
[0040] Please refer to Figure 2 , one side of the anti-rotation surface 240 facing the axis of the step groove 220 is a plane, and third chamfers 250 are provided at the corner lines at both transverse ends of the plane. Please refer to Figure 3 , the plane of the anti-rotation surface 240 and the tangent plane of the anti-rotation surface 120 are mutually adapted, and the third chamfer 250 can be mutually adapted with the first chamfer 130, enabling better clamping.
[0041] Please refer to Figure 2 , a boss 260 is provided on the end cap body 200, and a plurality of mounting holes 270 are provided on the boss 260. The central hole 210 and the step hole 220 are both provided on the boss 260. The mounting holes 270 facilitate the installation of the end cap body 200 by means of screws.
[0042] Please refer to Figure 3 and Figure 4 , this embodiment also provides a motor, including a steel sleeve and an end cap. By abutting the third limiting edge 280 against the first limiting edge 150, and then abutting the fourth limiting edge 290 against the second limiting edge 160, the annular bump 230 is embedded in the annular groove 110, and the anti-rotation surface 240 is embedded in the anti-rotation surface 120, so that the steel sleeve is embedded in the end cap.
[0043] The usage process of the motor provided by the present utility model is as follows:
[0044] First, embed the annular groove 110 in the steel sleeve on the annular bump 230 of the end cap, and abut the anti-rotation surface 120 in the steel sleeve against the anti-rotation surface 240 of the end cap to prevent the anti-rotation angle 120 of relative rotation between the steel sleeve body 100 and the end cap body 200, thereby improving the overall strength of the end cap and thus enhancing the working stability and efficiency of the motor.
