[0002] A motor's rear end cap generally refers to a cap at each end of the motor, where the axial dimension is larger than the radial dimension. Its primary function is to determine the spatial position of the rotor shaft. By coupling it with various bearing types and attaching it to the housing that holds the motor's stator, it ensures a proper clearance between the rotor and stator. In some motors, an encoder is installed to precisely control the motor's speed and position to detect its motion. The encoder's PCB needs to be fixed to a specific location on the motor to accurately read its motion information. In this case, the motor's rear end cap may be designed to secure the encoder PCB.

[0023] The following describes the specific embodiments of the present disclosure in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to illustrate and explain the present disclosure and are not intended to limit the present disclosure.
[0024] Example 1
[0025] like Figure 1-Figure 5 As shown, the utility model proposes a motor rear end cover for fixing an encoder PCB board, comprising an end cover body 1, a fixing seat 6 and a limiting mechanism. A mounting plate 2 is integrally formed on the outer side of the end cover body 1, and a plurality of groups of protrusions 3 are equidistantly arranged on the inner wall thereof in a circumferential manner. An annular PCB board 4 is connected to the inner limit, and a notch 5 is provided on the outer side of the annular PCB board 4 to cooperate with the protrusions 3. A fixing seat 6 is provided on the inner side of the end cover body 1, and an axial hole 7 integrally formed with the end cover body 1 is provided on the fixing seat 6. A limiting mechanism is provided on the fixing seat 6 for limiting the position of the annular PCB board 4.
[0026] like Figure 1 As shown, fixing holes 8 are symmetrically provided at the four corners of the mounting plate 2 , which are used to assemble the end cover body 1 with the motor housing.
[0027] like Figure 1 As shown, a finger groove 9 is provided on the inner wall of the end cover body 1 , which is used to pick out the annular PCB board 4 from the end cover body 1 .
[0028] When fixing the annular PCB board 4, first align the notch 5 on it with the insert block, and then push it into the end cover body 1 from one side of the mounting plate 2. During the pushing process, the limiting mechanism automatically limits it.
[0029] Example 2
[0030] like Figure 1-Figure 5 As shown, the present invention proposes a motor rear end cover for fixing an encoder PCB board. Based on the above embodiment, this embodiment also records in detail the specific components of the limiting mechanism and the limiting method for the annular PCB board 4.
[0031] like Figure 2 and Figure 5 As shown, the limiting mechanism includes a slide 10, a block 11 and a spring 12. Grooves 13 are provided on both sides of the fixed seat 6. The slide 10 is slidably arranged in the groove 13. One end of the spring 12 is connected to the groove wall of the groove 13, and the other end is connected to the slide 10. The side of the slide 10 facing away from the spring 12 is connected to the block 11 extending to the outside of the fixed seat 6.
[0032] like Figure 5 As shown, the two sets of stoppers 11 are provided with wedge-shaped surfaces on the opposite sides thereof, which are used to drive the stoppers 11 to move back and make way when subjected to a pressing force.
[0033] When the annular PCB board 4 is pushed in, the side of its inner ring will press the wedge-shaped surface of the stopper 11. When the stopper 11 is subjected to the squeezing force, it will move back toward the groove 13. During this movement, the end of the stopper 11 will drive the slide 10 to compress the spring 12. When the annular PCB board 4 passes over the stopper 11, the spring 12 releases the elastic potential energy accumulated when being squeezed, driving the stopper 11 to return to its original position, passing through the fixing seat 6 to limit the annular PCB board 4, thus completing the installation of the annular PCB board 4.
[0034] like Figure 1 and Figure 4 As shown, a through slot 14 communicating with the groove 13 is formed on the fixing seat 6 , and a connecting rod 15 passing through the through slot 14 is connected to the slide 10 , and a finger ring 16 is connected to the end of the connecting rod 15 facing away from the slide 10 .
[0035] When the annular PCB board 4 needs to be removed, the two finger rings 16 are clasped by the index finger and thumb of one hand, and then the two finger rings 16 are moved closer to each other. During the approaching process, the finger rings 16 drive the slide 10 to move via the connecting rod 15, so that the stopper 11 moves into the groove 13. The thumb of the other hand is inserted into the finger groove 9 to pull the annular PCB board 4 out of the end cover body 1.
[0036] The embodiments of the present invention are described in detail above with reference to the accompanying drawings, but the present invention is not limited thereto. Various changes can be made within the knowledge scope of those skilled in the art without departing from the purpose of the present invention.
