Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of motor structures, in particular to a motor manual adjustment structure. Background Art

[0002] Due to their stable operation and simple control, stepper motors have been increasingly used in new energy vehicles in recent years. For example, they are installed inside new energy vehicles to adjust the position of multimedia devices, or integrated into the lighting system of new energy vehicles to adjust the direction and angle of the lights.

[0003] The main structure of a stepper motor includes a motor housing, a stator member disposed in the motor housing, a rotor member rotatably disposed in the stator member, and a transmission rod driven by the rotor member; when the rotor member rotates, the transmission rod can achieve axial reciprocating movement. For the specific operating principle, please refer to patents such as CN203617873U and CN205792167U. The end of the transmission rod located outside the motor housing is usually integrated with a ball head assembly, which is used to cooperate with the headlight reflector to adjust the headlight illumination angle. However, after the stepper motor is assembled, the initial angle of the transmission rod may be offset to a certain extent, and the existing stepper motor structure makes it difficult to manually calibrate the initial angle of the transmission rod, affecting subsequent use. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of the utility model is to solve the problem that after the dimming stepper motor in the prior art is assembled, the initial angle of the transmission rod may be offset to a certain extent, and the structure of the existing stepper motor makes it difficult to manually calibrate the initial angle of the transmission rod, affecting subsequent use.

[0005] The cam is secured to the outer wall of the drive shaft and has a locking mechanism which extends outwardly past the locking mechanism, the locking mechanism being secured to the cam face and locking to the outer wall of the drive shaft when the cam is secured.

[0006] Compared with the prior art, the above scheme provides a through groove on the side circumferential wall of the head end of the outer sleeve, which divides the side circumferential wall of the head end of the outer sleeve into at least two arc-shaped parts, and the inner circumferential wall of the arc-shaped part is provided with a plurality of latching teeth distributed along the circumferential direction, and the latching teeth are elastically connected to the tooth group. Therefore, when the transmission rod needs to be manually calibrated after assembly is completed, the outer sleeve is manually rotated, and the outer sleeve will drive the ball head rod to rotate synchronously, so that the ball head rod produces axial movement relative to the transmission rod, thereby realizing calibration adjustment of the transmission rod; and when the ball head of the ball head rod moves to the extreme position or the position against the reflector, the axial movement of the ball head rod is restricted, and when the torque applied to the outer sleeve is greater than the maximum torque that the latching teeth and the tooth group can withstand due to the elastic engagement, the latching teeth slip relative to the tooth group; in other words, when the latching teeth of the outer sleeve and the tooth group of the ball head rod slip relative to each other, it means that the ball head of the ball head rod has moved to the extreme position; in addition, the design of the through groove on the outer sleeve can prevent the arc-shaped part of the outer sleeve from cracking and damage.

[0007] In an improved solution, the outer peripheral wall of the head end of the ball head rod is provided with guide teeth corresponding to the through grooves one by one. The guide teeth are used to cooperate with the through grooves during the process of the outer sleeve being sleeved onto the outside of the ball head rod to achieve a guiding effect on the outer sleeve. During installation, the inner sleeve is usually connected to the rotor part first, and then the socket of the ball head rod is sleeved onto the inner sleeve, and finally the outer sleeve is sleeved onto the outside of the ball head rod. Therefore, the guide teeth can cooperate with the through grooves during the installation process of the outer sleeve being sleeved onto the outside of the ball head rod to achieve a guiding effect on the outer sleeve, thereby facilitating the assembly of the outer sleeve.

[0008] In an improved solution, the width of the through groove on the side close to the tail end of the outer sleeve is greater than the width of the through groove on the side close to the head end of the outer sleeve, so that the arc portion has better deformation ability.

[0009] In an improved solution, the tooth group includes two teeth arranged at intervals, and the teeth extend axially from the tail end of the ball head rod to the head end of the ball head rod. A tooth groove is formed between the two teeth of the tooth group for a single latching tooth to engage, thereby improving the stability of the elastic latching between the tooth group and the latching tooth.

[0010] In an improved solution, the number of the through grooves is three and they are evenly distributed on the side wall of the head end of the outer sleeve, so that the head end of the outer sleeve forms three arc-shaped portions, and the outer wall of the ball head rod has four tooth groups, two of which are engaged with the latching teeth of the same arc-shaped portion, and the other two tooth groups are respectively engaged with the latching teeth of the remaining two arc-shaped portions, so that the latching teeth can withstand a larger torque after being elastically engaged with the tooth groups.

[0011] In an improved solution, the outer peripheral wall of the inner sleeve is provided with an external thread, and the hole wall of the socket is provided with an asymmetric thread. The ball head rod is screwed to the outside of the inner sleeve through the asymmetric thread of the socket, thereby ensuring that the socket of the ball head rod will not be reversed when screwed to the inner sleeve through the setting of the asymmetric thread.

[0012] In an improved solution, the mounting end face is provided with a plurality of claws distributed around the outer sleeve, and the outer peripheral wall of the tail end of the outer sleeve is provided with an annular groove. The claws are clamped into the annular groove to achieve axial limitation of the outer sleeve, thereby ensuring that the tail end of the outer sleeve can rotate relative to the mounting end face while achieving convenient assembly.

[0025] See also Figures 1-6 The embodiment of the present invention provides a motor manual adjustment structure, comprising a motor housing 1 with a mounting end surface 11, the mounting end surface 11 having a through hole 12, a rotor member disposed in the motor housing 1, an outer sleeve 2, a ball rod 3 and a transmission rod 4, the rear end of the transmission rod 4 being connected to the rotor member and the front end being provided with an inner sleeve 5 extending outward from the through hole 12, the rear end of the ball rod 3 being provided with an insertion hole 32 along the axial direction and the front end being provided with a ball head 31, the insertion hole 32 of the ball rod 3 being provided with a ball head 31, It is sleeved onto the inner sleeve 5, and the tail end of the outer sleeve 2 is rotatably connected to the mounting end face 11 and the side wall of the head end is circumferentially provided with at least two through grooves 21, and the through grooves 21 divide the side wall of the head end of the outer sleeve 2 into at least two arc-shaped portions 22, and the inner wall of the arc-shaped portion 22 is provided with a plurality of latching teeth 23 distributed along the circumferential direction, and the outer wall of the ball head rod 3 is provided with a tooth group 33, and the outer sleeve 2 is sleeved onto the outer side of the ball head rod 3 and makes the latching teeth 23 elastically snap into the tooth group 33.

[0026] The above scheme is achieved by providing a through groove on the side circumferential wall of the head end of the outer sleeve, the through groove divides the side circumferential wall of the head end of the outer sleeve into at least two arc-shaped parts, and the inner circumferential wall of the arc-shaped part is provided with a plurality of latching teeth distributed along the circumferential direction, the latching teeth are elastically latched to the tooth group, so that when manual calibration is required, the outer sleeve is manually rotated, and the outer sleeve will drive the ball head rod to rotate synchronously, causing the ball head rod to move axially relative to the transmission rod to achieve calibration adjustment; and when the ball head of the ball head rod moves to the extreme position or the position against the reflector, the axial movement of the ball head rod is restricted, and when the torque applied to the outer sleeve is greater than the maximum torque that the latching teeth and the tooth group can withstand due to the elastic latching, the latching teeth slip relative to the tooth group; in other words, when the latching teeth of the outer sleeve and the tooth group of the ball head rod slip relative to each other, it means that the ball head of the ball head rod has moved to the extreme position; in addition, the design of the through groove on the outer sleeve can prevent the arc-shaped part of the outer sleeve from cracking and damage.

[0027] As an improvement to this embodiment, the outer peripheral wall of the head end of the ball head rod 3 is provided with guide teeth 34 corresponding to the through grooves 21 one by one. The guide teeth 34 are used to cooperate with the through grooves 21 during the process of the outer sleeve 2 being sleeved onto the outside of the ball head rod 3 to achieve a guiding effect on the outer sleeve 2. During installation, the inner sleeve 5 is usually connected to the rotor part first, and then the socket 32 of the ball head rod 3 is sleeved onto the inner sleeve 5, and finally the outer sleeve 2 is sleeved onto the outside of the ball head rod 3.

[0028] Furthermore, the width of the through slot 21 on the side close to the rear end of the outer sleeve 2 is greater than the width of the through slot 21 on the side close to the front end of the outer sleeve 2, thereby enabling the arc-shaped portion 22 to have better deformation capability.

[0029] In this embodiment, the tooth group 33 includes two teeth arranged at intervals, and the teeth extend axially from the tail end of the ball head rod 3 to the head end of the ball head rod 3.
