Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of vertical motors, in particular to a lower bearing structure of a vertical motor. Background Art
[0002] Insulated bearings are more expensive than ordinary bearings. The lower bearing of a vertical motor is on the load side, so its bearing life is shorter than that of the non-load side. To optimize maintenance costs, the insulation structure of the lower bearing of a vertical motor is often welded or cast into an integral part of the end cover and bearing chamber, then designed with an insulating sleeve. Due to the insulating sleeve, the outer diameter of the bearing chamber entrance is designed to be larger than the outer diameter of the bearing. Large, purely vertical motors lack a base, so a raised platform is required for pure vertical installation. The commonly used installation structure requires the bearings to be first installed on the rotor shaft, with the bearing chamber secured to the bottom of the motor housing with the end cover. When the rotor enters the stator, the bearing and the insulating sleeve must be aligned, and then the end cover must be tightened to allow the bearing to enter the insulating sleeve. Because the bearing chamber entrance is larger than the outer diameter of the bearing and the bearing and insulating sleeve are a tight fit, installation and positioning are difficult, making it difficult for the bearing to fit into the bearing chamber. Incorrect installation can cause wear on the bearing chamber and the bearing. Utility Model Content

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0025] The specific implementation of the present utility model will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0026] Since the vertical motor is arranged vertically when installed, the up and down directions described in this article refer to the directions of the components of the lower bearing structure of the vertical motor when it is installed.
[0027] like Figure 1 、 Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, a lower bearing structure of a vertical motor includes a bearing chamber 1. The lower end surface of the bearing chamber 1 is detachably connected to an end cover 2 via a plurality of bolts. The end cover 2 provides axial support for the entire motor.
[0028] The end cover 2 and the bearing chamber 1 adopt a split structure for disassembly and assembly. During installation, the lower bearing structure except the end cover 2 is first installed on the motor rotor shaft. When the rotor enters the stator, the bearing chamber 1 uses a slightly longer guide screw and the bearing chamber mounting hole of the end cover to guide the installation, and then bolt it to conveniently install the rotor.
[0029] like Figure 1 、 Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, a bearing 7 is disposed within the inner cavity of the bearing chamber 1. The inner ring of the bearing 7 is sleeved onto the motor shaft 8. A bearing locating shoulder is disposed on the motor shaft 8. The upper end face of the bearing 7 contacts the bearing locating shoulder, while the lower end face of the bearing 7 contacts a retaining spring 9. The retaining spring 9 is mounted in a slot in the motor shaft 8. The bearing locating shoulder and retaining spring 9 together secure the bearing 7 in position on the motor shaft 8.
[0030] like Figure 1 、 Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the bearing chamber 1 is provided with an inner cover 3 and an outer cover 4 at the upper and lower ends, respectively. Both inner cover 3 and outer cover 4 are mounted on the motor shaft 8. The inner cover 3 is detachably connected to the upper end surface of the bearing chamber 1 by multiple bolts evenly distributed along the circumference. The outer cover 4 is detachably connected to the lower end surface of the bearing chamber 1 by multiple bolts evenly distributed along the circumference.
[0031] like Figure 3 and Figure 5 As shown, a plurality of spring installation cavities are provided on the lower end surface of the inner cover 3 , and springs 15 are provided in the spring installation cavities. The springs 15 can press and contact the upper end surface of the bearing 7 , thereby realizing axial positioning of the bearing 7 .
[0032] like Figure 3 As shown, the motor shaft 8 is provided with an oil retaining ring 10, which is located between the bearing 7 and the outer cover 4. The lower end of the oil retaining ring 10 is provided with a waterproof retaining ring 11, which is detachably connected to the lower end surface of the oil retaining ring 10 by multiple bolts. Figure 4 As shown, the waterproof retaining ring 11 is located below the outer cover 4. A water-shedding trough 20 is provided on the outer ring of the waterproof retaining ring 11. The water-shedding trough 20 has a water-shedding slope that is tilted from top to bottom and from the inside to the outside. During use, the lower end surface of the outer cover 4 can guide water droplets into the water-shedding trough 20 of the waterproof retaining ring 11. The water droplets are then shed out by the water-shedding trough 20 to prevent the water droplets from entering the lower bearing structure.
[0033] like Figure 3 As shown, the oil retaining ring 10 is provided with multiple screw holes evenly distributed along the circumference. Each screw hole is connected to a set screw 12, which can radially contact the motor shaft 8. The motor shaft 8 is provided with an annular groove, and the set screw 12 can radially extend into the annular groove to achieve the positioning and installation of the oil retaining ring 10 on the motor shaft 8.
[0034] like Figure 7 and Figure 8As shown, the upper end surface of the oil retaining ring 10 is provided with an oil storage groove 16, which can store the incoming grease and prevent the grease from completely escaping from the lower part of the bearing 7. The lower end surface of the oil retaining ring 10 is provided with multiple oil scrapers 17, which are evenly distributed along the circumference. During the grease change period, the oil scrapers 17 can guide the waste grease into the oil outlet 14 of the outer cover 4.

The two ends of the lubrication channel 18 are connected to the oil filling nozzle 13 and the inner cavity of the inner cover 3 respectively. The lubricating oil added from the outside enters the lubrication channel 18 through the oil filling nozzle 13, and then enters the inner cover 3 through the lubrication channel 18. Figure 4 As shown, the inner ring of the inner cover 3 is provided with a plurality of annular labyrinth grooves 19, which can prevent grease from entering the interior of the motor.
[0037] like Figure 3 As shown, an insulating sleeve 5 is provided between the bearing chamber 1 and the bearing 7 for physical insulation. An insulating plate 6 is provided between the inner cover 3 and the bearing 7 for physical insulation. Spring 15 can compress and contact the insulating plate 6. A gap exists between the inner cover 3 and the motor shaft 8 and the inner ring of the bearing 7, providing spatial insulation. A gap exists between the outer cover 4 and the oil retaining ring 10 and the waterproof retaining ring 11, also providing spatial insulation.

[0039] The end cover 2 and the bearing chamber 1 of the present invention adopt a split structure. During installation, the bearing structure except the end cover 2 is first installed on the rotor. When the rotor enters the stator, the bearing chamber 1 uses a slightly longer guide screw and the end cover bearing chamber mounting hole to guide the installation, and then the bolts are connected to realize the rotor installation. Because the end cover 2 and the bearing chamber 1 adopt a split structure, the end cover 2 is not restricted by the bearing model and is the same as the end cover of the motor with the same frame number, which simplifies the end cover mold. When processing the bearing chamber 1, the original need for large-scale vertical milling processing along with the end cover is simplified to lathe processing alone, avoiding the work of lifting large objects and reducing the demand for production equipment. The bearing chamber 1 of the present invention can be installed in advance, avoiding the traditional difficult installation process, avoiding installation errors and rework, and reducing the wear of the bearing 7 and the bearing chamber 1. The end cover 2 of the present invention is reduced in weight, which is convenient for workers to install and disassemble, and reduces the installation risk. The utility model adds an oil storage retaining ring 10 to optimize the oil storage performance and waste oil removal.
