Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of servo motors, in particular to a servo motor with an explosion-proof function. Background Art

[0002] In today's highly automated industrial production, servo motors, with their exceptional precision and performance, have become indispensable drive components in various control systems. However, in certain specialized operating environments, such as those with flammable and explosive gases or high concentrations of volatile dust, the operation of conventional servo motors can generate potential hazards such as sparks and high-temperature hotspots due to the operation of internal electrical components and friction between mechanical parts. These factors, when interacting with surrounding flammable and explosive materials, can easily trigger violent explosions, severely disrupting production processes and causing immeasurable losses to personnel and property.

[0003] Therefore, explosion-proof servo motors are usually used in these special operating environments. The principles of explosion-proof servo motors are mainly based on the following aspects to achieve explosion-proof functions: 1. Limiting energy release: By adopting special designs and materials, the energy such as sparks and arcs generated during motor operation is limited to a safe range, so that it is not enough to ignite the surrounding flammable and explosive substances. 2. Strengthening sealing: Seal the motor casing, including the connection between the motor shaft and the casing, cable interfaces and other parts, to prevent flammable and explosive gases or dust from entering the inside of the motor. 3. Lowering surface temperature: Optimize the heat dissipation structure and cooling system of the motor to ensure that the surface temperature of the motor during operation is lower than the ignition temperature of flammable and explosive substances.

[0004] Traditional explosion-proof servo motors, while primarily designed with improved housings and enhanced sealing, often lack sufficient heat dissipation. Due to the inevitable heat generated by electromagnetic conversion and mechanical friction during motor operation, poor heat dissipation can lead to a sharp rise in the motor's internal temperature. This not only affects the motor's operating efficiency and accuracy, but more seriously, the high temperatures can trigger electrical failures within the motor, generating sparks and even arcing. In flammable and explosive environments, these high temperatures and sparks can easily ignite surrounding combustible materials, causing explosions and posing significant threats to production and personnel safety.

[0005] Furthermore, some common heat dissipation designs, such as simple fans or natural convection, often fail to effectively dissipate heat in high-load conditions or harsh environments. Furthermore, the heat dissipation structure of traditional motors can be poorly sealed, allowing flammable and explosive substances to enter the motor through the heat dissipation channels, increasing the risk of explosion. Therefore, to meet the requirements for safe operation in flammable and explosive environments, there is an urgent need to develop a servo motor with efficient heat dissipation and excellent explosion-proof performance.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0020] In order to make the purpose, technical solutions and advantages of the present invention more clearly understood, the present invention is further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention.

[0021] Figures 1 to 3 Shown is an embodiment of the present utility model.

[0022] Example:

[0023] A servo motor with explosion-proof function includes a shell 1, a working chamber 2 is provided in the shell 1, a rotor 3 is rotatably provided in the working chamber 2, the front end of the rotor 3 is placed outside the shell 1 through the output hole 4 at the front end of the shell 1, and the cavity wall of the working chamber 2 is surrounded by a stator 5. It also includes a heat dissipation module 6 installed on the side of the shell 1, and the heat dissipation module 6 is sequentially provided with an air inlet chamber 7, a heat exchange chamber 8 and an air outlet chamber 9. A plurality of heat exchange tubes 10 are provided in the heat exchange chamber 8, and the heat exchange chamber 8 is filled with coolant. One end of the heat exchange tube 10 is connected to the air inlet chamber 7, and the other end is connected to the air outlet chamber 9. The air inlet chamber 7 is connected to the working chamber 2 near the front end of the shell 1 through a first air pipe 11, and the air outlet chamber 9 is connected to the working chamber 2 near the rear end of the shell 1 through a second air pipe 12. A micro fan 13 is provided at the position where the first air pipe 11 is connected to the air inlet chamber 7. The micro fan 13 can drive the air in the working chamber 2 from the first air pipe 11 into the air inlet chamber 7, and then into the heat exchange chamber 8 through the air inlet chamber 7. In the heat exchange chamber 8, the heat exchange pipe 10 exchanges heat with the coolant in the heat exchange chamber 8, thereby reducing the temperature of the air passing through, forming low-temperature air. The low-temperature air enters the working chamber 2 from the air outlet chamber 9 and the second air pipe 12, and can absorb the temperature of the rotor 3 and the stator 5, thereby cooling the rotor 3 and the stator 5. The first air pipe 11 and the second air pipe 12 are respectively connected to the front and rear ends of the working chamber 2, and can form a reasonable heat dissipation duct in the working chamber 2, so that the low-temperature air can gradually absorb the temperature from the back side of the working chamber 2 and move toward the front side of the working chamber 2. The cooling airflow formed in the working chamber 2 of the utility model is internal circulating air and does not come into contact with the outside air. In this way, while cooling, it can also improve the sealing of the entire servo motor, prevent external dust from entering the working chamber 2, and improve the explosion-proof performance of the servo motor.

[0024] The radiator 14 also includes a water tank 15 and a water pump 16. The water inlet of the water pump 16 is connected to the heat exchange chamber 8 through a first water pipe 17, the water outlet of the water pump 16 is connected to the water inlet of the radiator 14 through a second water pipe 18, the water outlet of the radiator 14 is connected to the water inlet of the water tank 15 through a third water pipe 19, and the water outlet of the water tank 15 is connected to the heat exchange chamber 8 through a fourth water pipe 20. A cooling fan 21 is installed on the radiator 14 for dissipating heat from the radiator 14. Since the air in the working chamber 2 continuously exchanges heat with the coolant in the heat exchange chamber 8, the temperature of the coolant in the heat exchange chamber 8 will gradually rise. Therefore, in order to reduce the temperature of the coolant in the heat exchange chamber 8, the coolant in the heat exchange chamber 8 is cooled by the water pump 16, the water tank 15 and the radiator 14. The water pump 16 pumps the coolant from the heat exchange chamber 8 into the radiator 14, where it passes through the heat dissipation fins and is cooled by the cooling fan 21. The cooled coolant then flows into the water tank 15, where the low-temperature coolant in the water tank 15 flows into the heat exchange chamber 8. The water tank 15 can be flat to utilize its large surface area for auxiliary cooling.

[0025] The portion of the heat exchange tube 10 disposed in the heat exchange chamber 8 is curved or coiled, so that air can hit the surface of the heat exchange tube 10 as much as possible during circulation, thereby performing heat exchange.

[0026] The first air pipe 11 is connected to the working chamber 2 via a connecting seat 22. A through hole 23 connected to the working chamber 2 is provided on the surface of the housing 1 near the front end. An air hole connected to the side of the connecting seat 22 is provided at the bottom of the connecting seat 22. The connecting seat 22 is mounted on the surface of the housing 1, and the through hole 23 is aligned with the air hole at the bottom of the connecting seat 22. The first air pipe 11 is connected to one end of the air hole located on the side of the connecting seat 22. The provision of the mounting seat facilitates the fixing of the first air pipe 11. The mounting seat can be firmly fixed to the surface of the housing 1 using screws or adhesives, serving as the connection point between the first air pipe 11 and the through hole 23, thereby reducing the risk of leakage at the connection between the first air pipe 11 and the through hole 23.

[0027] A first sealing ring is provided around the air hole at the bottom of the connection base 22. When the connection base 22 is mounted on the surface of the housing 1, the first sealing ring is in sealing contact with the surface of the housing 1. By providing the first sealing ring, the through hole 23 and the air hole are sealed to prevent air leakage.

[0028] A sealing block 24 is installed in the working chamber at the position of the output hole 4. The sealing block 24 is provided with a first rotating hole 25 that runs through the front and rear ends. The first rotating hole 25 is aligned with the output hole 4. The rotor 3 is placed in the first rotating hole 25. A second sealing ring 26 and a first bearing 27 are provided around the hole wall of the first rotating hole 25. The outer wall of the second sealing ring 26 is connected to the hole wall of the first rotating hole 25, and the inner wall is rotatably fitted with the outer wall of the rotor 3. The outer ring of the first bearing 27 is connected to the hole wall of the first rotating hole 25, and the inner ring is connected to the outer wall of the rotor 3. By providing the sealing block 24, the output hole 4 can be sealed, improving the sealing performance of the entire housing 1. The first bearing 27 can improve the smoothness of the rotation of the rotor 3. The second sealing ring 26 can provide sealing during the rotation of the rotor 3. Multiple second sealing rings 26 can be provided to enhance the sealing effect.

[0029] A support plate 28 is provided near the rear end of the housing 1 in the working chamber. A second rotation hole 29 is provided on the support plate 28, extending through the front and rear ends. A second bearing 30 is disposed within the second rotation hole 29. The outer ring of the second bearing 30 is connected to the inner wall of the second rotation hole 29, while the inner ring is connected to the outer wall of the rear end of the rotor 3. The support plate 28 and the second bearing 30 provide support for the rear end of the rotor 3 and enhance smooth rotation.

[0030] Although the present invention has been described herein with reference to a number of illustrative embodiments thereof, it should be understood that numerous other modifications and implementations may be devised by those skilled in the art that fall within the scope and spirit of the principles disclosed herein. More specifically, within the scope of the present disclosure, the drawings, and the claims, various variations and modifications may be made to the components and / or layout of the subject combination arrangement.
