[0022] The present invention will be described in further detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.
[0023] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the end cover sealing device of the brushless DC motor includes a motor housing 1 and a motor end cover 2 connected in sequence, and a plurality of fixing components are fixed to the outer peripheral walls of the motor housing 1 and the motor end cover 2 at intervals in the circumferential direction.
[0024] The fixing assembly includes a fixing block 3, a docking block 5, a positioning rod 6 and a connecting piece. The fixing block 3 is fixed to the outer peripheral wall of the upper part of the motor housing 1, and the docking block 5 is fixed to the outer peripheral wall of the motor end cover 2. The fixing block 3 and the docking block 5 are arranged to overlap in the axial direction. The bottom surface of the docking block 5 is fixedly connected with the positioning rod 6. The lower end of the positioning rod 6 penetrates into the fixing block 3 and passes out of the positioning groove 4 opened in the middle of the fixing block 3. The lower end of the positioning rod 6 is fixedly connected to the motor housing 1 through a connecting piece provided below the positioning groove 4. A first sealing ring 9 is provided at the connection between the connecting piece and the motor housing 1.
[0025] like Figure 3 and Figure 4As shown, the connecting part includes a bolt 8 and a tensioning bolt 12. The tensioning bolt 12 is arranged at the bottom end of the positioning rod 6. A positioning hole 7 is provided on the lower side end face of the positioning rod 6. The positioning hole 7 is a rectangular hole groove with a diameter slightly larger than the bolt 8, so that the bolt 8 can pass through the positioning hole 7. The outer peripheral wall of the motor housing 1 is provided with a threaded hole 10 coaxially arranged with the positioning hole 7. The first sealing ring 9 is provided on the outer peripheral wall of the motor housing 1 and coaxially arranged with the threaded hole 10. One end face of the first sealing ring 9 is bonded to the outer peripheral wall of the motor housing 1, and the other end face is located directly below the positioning groove 4. The first sealing ring 9 is provided with two toggle blocks 11 for compressing the first sealing ring 9 so that the positioning rod 6 passes through the positioning groove 4. Specifically, the two toggle blocks 11 are respectively connected to the two sides of the annular end face of the first sealing ring 9 to form an integrated structure.
[0026] One end of the bolt 8 is sequentially inserted into the positioning hole 7, the first sealing ring 9 and the threaded hole 10. One end of the tensioning bolt 12 passes through the threaded hole on the bottom surface of the positioning rod 6 and enters the positioning hole 7 on the lower side end surface of the positioning rod 6 and is tightly connected with the outer peripheral surface of the bolt 8. The tensioning bolt 12 pulls the positioning rod 6 downward by squeezing the bolt 8, so that the motor end cover 2 and the motor housing 1 are fixed. The head of the tensioning bolt 12 is provided with a ring, which can be screwed with any rod-shaped tool.
[0027] Specifically, pressing the toggle block 11 causes the first sealing ring 9 to deform, and the positioning rod 6 on the bottom of the docking block 5 is inserted into and out of the positioning groove 4. When the positioning hole 7 at the lower part of the positioning rod 6 and the first sealing ring 9 are at the same height, the end faces of the docking block 5 and the fixing block 3 are tightly attached to each other. At this time, the threaded end of the bolt 8 is inserted into the threaded hole 10 through the positioning hole 7 and the first sealing ring 9 in sequence and threadedly connected with the threaded hole 10, and then the tensioning bolt 12 is tightened. One end of the tensioning bolt 12 passes through the threaded hole on the bottom surface of the positioning rod 6 and enters the positioning hole 7 on the lower side end face of the positioning rod 6 and is pressed and connected with the outer peripheral surface of the bolt 8, so that the motor end cover 2 and the motor housing 1 are fixed. Due to the rubber material of the first sealing ring 9, the first sealing ring 9 is in a compressed state, which greatly increases the sealing between the bolt 8 and the threaded hole 10, making the bolt 8 not easy to corrode and rust, and increasing the convenience during disassembly and maintenance.
[0028] Several hook assemblies are circumferentially spaced apart on the outer peripheral wall in the middle of the motor housing 1. The hook assembly is composed of a hook 14, an elastic rope 13 and a protrusion connected in sequence. The protrusion is fixed to the outer wall of the motor housing 1. The hook assembly facilitates installation.
[0029] An annular groove 15 is provided on the bottom surface of the motor end cover 2, and a second sealing ring 16 for sealing is bonded in the annular groove 15. The materials of the first sealing ring 9 and the second sealing ring 16 are both silicone. Since the first sealing ring 9 and the second sealing ring 16 are fixed by bonding, it is convenient to reassemble them more quickly when damaged.
[0030] Specifically, when the motor end cover 2 is covered on one end of the motor housing 1, the motor end cover 2 compresses the second sealing ring 16 located in the annular groove 15 on its bottom surface, so that the second sealing ring 16 is completely in the annular groove 15, ensuring the sealing of the joint between the motor end cover 2 and the motor housing 1.
