Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the field of vacuum pumps, in particular to an electric vacuum pump capable of preventing backflow of water. Background Art
[0002] Currently, the development of electric vehicles has become a global consensus to address energy crises and environmental pollution. However, due to technological limitations, my country's electric vehicle research and development generally focuses on improving existing internal combustion engine vehicles. Most cars use a vacuum-assisted servo system, which combines human and power.
[0003] The vacuum booster system in traditional internal combustion engine cars draws its vacuum source from the engine's intake manifold, typically achieving a negative vacuum pressure of -86 kPa. In electric vehicles converted from conventional vehicles, after the engine assembly is removed, the brake system loses its vacuum boosting function due to a lack of a vacuum power source. Human braking alone is insufficient to meet service braking requirements; therefore, an electric vacuum pump is required to provide vacuum boosting.
[0004] Since the electric vacuum pump is started and stopped by the control system based on the system pressure, the vacuum pump works intermittently. However, there will be a back-inhalation process at the moment the vacuum pump stops. In this way, if the vehicle wades through water, water will be sucked into the pump, causing the motor to burn out. Therefore, this problem must be solved fundamentally. Utility Model Content
[0005] The utility model aims to provide an electric vacuum pump which prevents backflow of water, so as to solve the problem that water is sucked into the interior of the pump when a vehicle is wading through water, thereby causing the motor to burn out.
[0006] The technical solution adopted by the utility model to solve its technical problems is: an electric vacuum pump that prevents backflow of water, including a motor, a housing assembly is provided on the motor, the housing assembly includes a pump housing machine installed on the motor and a pump cover adapted to the pump housing, a pump cavity is formed in the housing assembly, a pump assembly is provided in the pump cavity, and the pump assembly is connected to the shaft of the motor; an air intake port connected to the pump cavity is provided on the outside of the pump housing, and an exhaust port connected to the pump cavity is provided at the bottom of the pump housing; the pump cavity is provided with a waterproof groove, and an exhaust hole connected to the exhaust port is provided at the bottom of the waterproof groove; the waterproof groove is provided with a waterproof sealing plug, and an air vent is provided on the upper end surface of the waterproof sealing plug.
[0007] Furthermore, the waterproof sealing plug includes an upper sealing body, a sealing side wall is arranged around the upper sealing body, and the sealing side wall is adapted to the inner wall of the waterproof groove; an isolation block is provided on the side of the upper sealing body facing the waterproof groove, the top of the isolation block and the upper sealing body are integrally formed, the two ends are connected to the inner wall of the sealing side wall, and a gap is provided between the bottom of the isolation block and the bottom of the waterproof groove.
[0008] Furthermore, an avoidance gap is provided on the sealing side wall at a position corresponding to the exhaust hole.
[0009] Furthermore, a group of ventilation columns are integrally formed on one side of the upper sealing body facing the waterproof groove, and the ventilation columns are provided with ventilation holes that penetrate the upper sealing body; a gap is provided between one end of the ventilation column facing the bottom of the waterproof groove and the bottom of the waterproof groove.
[0010] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: 1. By providing a waterproof groove and a waterproof sealing plug, water can be prevented from being directly sucked back into the pump cavity when the pump stops for a moment during wading, thereby burning the motor. Instead, the water is sucked back and stored in the waterproof groove. At the same time, it is isolated by the waterproof sealing plug to prevent it from entering the pump assembly and burning the vacuum pump. After the motor is started, the water in the waterproof groove is discharged into the atmosphere with the exhaust pressure.
[0011] 2. By setting an avoidance gap, it is possible to prevent the waterproof sealing plug from blocking the exhaust hole and affecting the normal operation of the exhaust port.
[0012] 3. The strength of the waterproof sealing plug is improved by setting up isolation blocks and breathable columns. At the same time, the breathable columns can also improve the strength of the vent position and increase the service life of the waterproof sealing plug.
[0013] The present invention will be described in more detail below through embodiments. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
