Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of encoders for rail transit vehicle motors, in particular to a high-performance encoder for rail transit vehicle motor control. Background Art
[0002] Rail vehicle and industrial motor control systems rely on a large number of split, semi-sealed, and magnetic induction encoders due to limitations in mounting structure, space, and outdated technology. These products have long been susceptible to external interference, resulting in sporadic output signal distortion, frame loss, and signal advances and lags. They also suffer from distorted output waveforms and severe pulse distortion. They also have a narrow operating voltage range, leading to malfunction or burnout. They are bulky, inconvenient to install, and subject to large errors. Furthermore, they have poor sealing and are susceptible to dust and humidity, leading to operational anomalies. These issues have led to unstable and unreliable operation and high failure rates in rail vehicle and industrial motor control systems. Utility Model Content

[0021] See Figure 1-3 As shown, the present embodiment provides a high-performance encoder for rail transit vehicle motor control, comprising: an outer shell 1, an inner shell 2, a PCB board 3, a code disk 4, a bearing seat 5, a bearing 6, a transmission shaft 7, a transmission ring 8 and an upper cover 9. One side of the outer shell 1 is open and sealed by the upper cover 9, the inner shell 2 is fixedly connected to the inside of the outer shell 1, the PCB board 3 and the bearing seat 5 are fixedly connected to the inside of the inner shell 2, the transmission shaft 7 is rotatably connected to the bearing seat 5 through the bearing 6, one end of the transmission shaft 7 is fixedly connected to the code disk 4 and drives the code disk 4 to rotate relative to the PCB board 3, the other end of the transmission shaft 7 is connected to the motor shaft (not shown) of the drive motor through the transmission ring 8, and the motor shaft of the drive motor drives the transmission shaft 7 to rotate through the transmission ring 8, a photoelectric sensor for detecting the code disk 4 is installed on the PCB board 3, and a protrusion 10 perpendicular to the surface of the code disk 4 is provided on the side opposite to the PCB board 3. The position of the protrusion 10 of the code disk 4 and the non-protruding position on the surface of the code disk 4 are converted into a presence / absence signal for transmission by the photoelectric sensor. Among them, two raised portions 10 are spaced apart at the edge of the surface of the code disk 4, and two recessed portions 11 are separated by the recessed position between the two raised portions 10. The transmission ring 8 is sleeved on the motor shaft of the drive motor and is connected to the motor shaft with an interference fit. The ring end surface of the transmission ring 7 close to the drive motor is provided with a guide arc edge, which is used for the transmission ring 8 to automatically fit onto the motor shaft during rotation.
[0022] In this embodiment, the outer diameter of the motor shaft is slightly larger than the inner diameter of the transmission ring 8. When the transmission ring 8 is inserted into the motor shaft by an external force, it elastically deforms. Once pushed into place, the transmission ring 8 firmly embraces the motor shaft. The diameter of the transmission ring 8 at the end closest to the motor shaft is larger than the diameter at the end further away from the motor shaft. Anti-rotation protrusions 12 are evenly distributed around the outer circumference of the transmission ring 8. The transmission ring 8 and the code wheel 4 are made of nylon and fiberglass.
[0023] The encoder operates as follows: The encoder is powered and mounted on the motor's rotating shaft. When the motor's output shaft begins to rotate, the encoder's drive shaft 7 also begins to rotate, driving the code disc 4 concentrically. A photoelectric sensor mounted on the PCB 3 detects the gaps and bumps on the code disc 4, converting the duration of these gaps and bumps into a regular electrical signal. This regular electrical signal describes the rotation of the rotating mechanism and is then output as a signal.
[0024] Working principle: By changing the code disk to a 90° concave-convex structure, namely the raised part 10 and the recessed part 11, it is convenient for the photoelectric sensor to vertically detect the concave-convex position, changing the structure of the traditional photoelectric encoder plane grating, and reducing the overall volume by about 20%. The encoder is mounted on the motor shaft through the guide arc designed on the end face of the transmission ring 8, which is quickly and accurately inserted into the motor shaft, ensuring that the encoder and the motor shaft are completely concentric and coaxial. The transmission ring 8 is connected to the motor shaft in an interference fit manner. The outer diameter of the motor shaft is slightly larger than the inner diameter of the transmission ring. When the transmission ring 8 is inserted into the motor shaft by external force, the transmission ring 8 will undergo elastic deformation. After being pushed into place, the transmission ring 8 firmly holds the motor shaft. In addition, the anti-draft design of the transmission ring 8 with a large diameter at one end and a small diameter at the other end ensures that the transmission ring 8 will not fall out accidentally, avoiding the risk of transmission failure. The outer cylindrical surface of the transmission ring 8 is designed with a side protrusion structure to prevent the transmission ring from misalignment and slipping during operation.

Any modifications or substitutions that can be easily conceived by a person skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present invention should be included within the scope of protection of the present invention.
