Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to a device for preventing electric corrosion of motor bearings and a motor with the device. Background Art
[0002] Electrical corrosion is one of the factors that cause premature failure of motor bearings. Under the influence of the high switching frequency and high common-mode voltage of the inverter, a potential difference is formed between the motor shaft and the casing through the coupling of the internal capacitance of the motor. The potential difference forms a shaft current flowing through the inner and outer rings of the bearing.
[0003] Currently, with the significant increase in motor speed, the viscosity of the lubricant selected for motor bearings is becoming smaller and smaller, and the oil film thickness is also becoming lower and lower.
[0004] When the shaft voltage exceeds the critical withstand voltage of the bearing lubricant, the current breaks down the lubricant film, generating high temperatures and causing localized melting and uneven surface corrosion. Damage to the motor bearings can also reduce user comfort and even lead to motor failure and user safety.
[0005] Currently, there are three mainstream measures in the industry to solve this problem: 1. System optimization, 2. Insulation blocking, and 3. Shaft current diversion.
[0006] System optimization measures generally include optimizing the motor structure or process, reducing the low-frequency shaft voltage generated by the asymmetric internal magnetic field caused by motor structural asymmetry due to design, manufacturing, and assembly, and lowering the high-frequency common-mode voltage generated by the excitation source. However, with the application of SiC and the development of 800V high-voltage platforms, system optimization has limited effect on improving shaft voltage levels. Second, insulation blocking measures generally use ceramic ball bearings or bearings with insulated inner and outer rings, but these are generally expensive and difficult for users to accept.
[0007] Shaft current drainage usually uses conductive carbon rods or conductive fibers to drain the shaft current to the casing to eliminate the induced potential on the shaft and reduce or eliminate the potential difference between the inner and outer rings of the bearing.
[0008] Chinese patent document CN217036976U discloses a solution in which conductive fibers are evenly arranged around the circumference of a metal ring, thereby making radial contact with the outer diameter of the rotating shaft. However, at high motor speeds, the outer diameter contact line velocity is high, resulting in high fiber drag torque, frictional resistance, and wear. This wear powder affects the cleanliness of the motor's interior.
[0009] To this end, the utility model proposes a new shaft current diversion measure to overcome the problem of conductive fiber wear powder affecting the internal cleanliness of the motor while ensuring the unloading and diversion of the shaft current. Utility Model Content
[0010] The purpose of the utility model is to provide a device for preventing electric corrosion of motor bearings and a motor using the device, so as to effectively ensure the unloading and diversion of shaft current.
[0011] To this end, the utility model provides, on the one hand, a device for preventing electrical corrosion of motor bearings, including a conductive mounting seat, a conductive fiber bundle being fixed to the front end of the conductive mounting seat, the conductive fiber bundle being located on the central axis of the motor and being extruded and fitted with the axis of the end face of the motor shaft, the conductive fiber bundle having a nickel-plated layer, and the rear end of the conductive mounting seat being screwed to the rear end cover of the motor for adjusting the extrusion amount of the conductive fiber bundle.
[0012] Furthermore, the extrusion amount of the conductive fiber bundle is 1-3 mm.
[0013] Furthermore, the conductive fiber bundle is a single conductive fiber bundle and the single conductive fiber bundle has a surface nickel plating layer.
[0014] Furthermore, the conductive mounting seat has an external hexagonal mounting portion.
[0015] Furthermore, the conductive mounting seat has a central cavity, and the cavity wall of the central cavity has symmetrically arranged and extrudable thin-walled parts for riveting and fixing the conductive fiber bundle.
[0016] According to another aspect of the present invention, a motor for preventing electrical corrosion of bearings is provided, comprising a stator housing, a rotor, a front bearing, a rear bearing, a motor front cover and a motor rear cover, wherein the motor rear cover has a seat cavity for placing the above-mentioned device for preventing electrical corrosion of motor bearings.
[0017] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following technical effects:
[0018] 1. This conductive mount adopts the shaft end contact method; the conductive fiber contacts the shaft center, and the linear velocity of the contact point is almost close to zero, which greatly reduces the drag loss and fiber wear on the motor, ensuring the motor efficiency and cavity cleanliness;
[0019] 2. Single bundle of conductive fiber, riveted in place at one time, simple structure and low cost;
[0020] 3. The conductive mounting seat adopts an external hexagonal thread design, which is easy and quick to install.
[0021] In addition to the above-described purposes, features and advantages, the present invention has other purposes, features and advantages. The present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
