Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of brushless motors, and particularly relates to an ultra-long-life brushless motor for an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV). Background Art
[0002] A brushless motor for a UAV is an efficient, precise and durable motor applied to the power system of a UAV. The brushless motor switches the current direction through an electronic control method and does not require mechanical brushes and a commutator. The brushless motor for a UAV includes a motor housing, a motor rotating shaft penetrating through the motor stator assembly, a magnet bracket, a motor end cover, a motor stator assembly, and bearings sleeved at both ends of the motor rotating shaft. In the existing technology, the bearings are directly sleeved on the motor rotating shaft. When the motor is subjected to large impacts or vibrations, the bearings cannot well absorb these mechanical stresses, resulting in increased wear between the bearings and the motor rotating shaft, affecting the overall running stability, reducing the running precision of the motor, and generating relatively large noise, thus greatly shortening the service life of the motor. Summary of the Utility Model
[0003] To solve the above problems, the technical problem to be solved by the utility model is to provide an ultra-long-life brushless motor for a UAV.
[0004] The technical solution adopted by the ultra-long-life brushless motor for a UAV of the utility model is characterized in that it includes a motor housing, a stator assembly arranged in the motor housing, a motor bracket and a motor end cover arranged at both ends of the stator assembly, a motor rotating shaft penetrating through the stator assembly, a first bearing and a second bearing sleeved at both ends of the motor rotating shaft, and a bearing buffer assembly sleeved outside the second bearing. The bearing buffer assembly includes a buffer sleeve, elastic cushion blocks and buffer springs. The motor end cover includes an end cover body and an end cover cylinder penetrating through the stator assembly. A first end cover positioning groove for positioning the buffer sleeve is arranged in the end cover body. An end cover through hole for the motor rotating shaft to penetrate through and communicating with the first end cover positioning groove is arranged in the end cover cylinder.
[0005] The elastic cushion blocks are sleeved outside the second bearing at intervals around an arc and are arranged inside the buffer sleeve. An arc-shaped cushion fitting surface in contact with the second bearing is arranged on the inner side of the elastic cushion blocks. A spring receiving surface is arranged in the middle of the outer side of the elastic cushion blocks. A buffer sleeve positioning hole is arranged on the buffer sleeve. The buffer spring penetrates through the buffer sleeve positioning hole, with one end abutted against the spring receiving surface and the other end abutted against the side wall of the first end cover positioning groove.
[0006] It further includes a cover, within which there is a cover relief hole for the motor rotating shaft to pass through. Around the arc of the cover, there are cover clamping blocks arranged at intervals. On the end cover body, there is an end cover border outside the first positioning groove of the end cover, and on the end cover border, there are end cover border clamping openings that are clamped with the cover clamping blocks.
[0007] The number of both the elastic cushion blocks and the buffer springs is 3.
[0008] On the spring bearing surface, there is a spring limit seat, and within the spring limit seat, there is a spring limit hole for limiting the buffer spring.
[0009] The elastic cushion block is made of rubber material.
[0010] The advantages of the ultra-long-life brushless motor for the UAV of the present utility model are as follows: The bearing buffer assembly can adaptively adjust according to external impact force and vibration, making the motor rotating shaft and the second bearing maintain relative stability, reducing excessive friction and wear between the motor rotating shaft and the second bearing, effectively extending the bearing life, and reducing the maintenance cost.
