Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of motors, and particularly relates to an end cover fixing structure and a motor. Background Art

[0002] See also Figure 1 In the existing iron shell motor, the housing and the end covers on both sides are generally fixed together by using screws to fix the front cover, iron shell (stator assembly) and rear cover into one piece.

[0003] However, in some scenarios where motor performance is to be optimized (e.g., improving power density, optimizing electromagnetic performance, increasing torque and speed, reducing motor temperature rise, etc.), it is necessary to enlarge the inner diameter of the stator while keeping the outer diameter unchanged. Figure 2 Increasing the inner diameter of the stator will result in an increase in the outer diameter of the coil. If the above fixing method is still used and the yoke of the stator punch is close to the screw hole, the safe creepage distance between the coil and the screw will be insufficient, resulting in short circuits, breakdown and other faults.

[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to improve the fixing method of the motor housing and the end cover. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of the utility model is to provide an end cover fixing structure and a motor to solve the above technical problems.

[0006] The present application provides an end cap fixing structure. The end cap fixing structure comprises: an end cap and a housing;

[0007] The end of the shell is provided with a plurality of protrusions facing the inner side of the shell;

[0008] The outer wall of the end cover is provided with a plurality of radially recessed grooves, and the grooves include a fixing surface axially facing the outer side of the shell;

[0009] The protrusion is used to be accommodated in the groove and pressed against the fixing surface.

[0010] In one embodiment of the present application, the end cover includes a large diameter section and a small diameter section along the axial direction;

[0011] A step surface is formed at the connection between the large diameter section and the small diameter section;

[0012] The small diameter section is used to be inserted into the end of the shell, and the end surface of the shell is pressed tightly against the step surface.

[0013] In one embodiment of the present application, the groove is formed by being axially recessed from the outer end surface of the end cover;

[0014] The axial depth of the groove is greater than the length of the large diameter section and less than the overall length of the end cover.

[0015] In one embodiment of the present application, a through hole is provided on at least one side of the protrusion along the axial direction of the housing.

[0016] In one embodiment of the present application, along the axial direction of the shell, one side of the protrusion is a side surface of the end portion of the shell, and the other side is a side surface of the through hole.

[0017] In one embodiment of the present application, the protrusion is a strip-shaped portion bent into the groove.

[0018] Accordingly, the present application provides a motor, comprising:

[0019] a housing, wherein a stator and a rotor are disposed;

[0020] The two end covers are fixed to the two ends of the shell respectively using the end cover fixing structure described above.

[0021] In one embodiment of the present application, a motor bracket mounting block is provided on the outer end surface of the end cover.

[0022] The beneficial effects of the utility model are:

[0023] Different from the prior art, the present application provides an end cap fixing structure. This end cap fixing structure includes an end cap and a housing; the end of the housing is provided with a plurality of raised portions facing the interior of the housing; the outer wall of the end cap is provided with a plurality of radially recessed grooves, and the grooves include a fixing surface axially facing the exterior of the housing; the raised portions are intended to be received within the grooves and abut against the fixing surface. In other words, the end cap fixing structure of the present application is connected by a snap-fit ​​connection between the grooves on the end cap and the raised portions at the end of the housing, which does not affect the structure of the remaining components within the housing and therefore does not interfere with the optimization of the internal structure of the motor.

[0038] To make the purpose, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention more clear, the technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the embodiments described are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of them. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts shall fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0039] The present application provides an end cap fixing structure and a motor, which are described in detail below. It should be noted that the order of description of the following embodiments does not limit the preferred order of the embodiments of the present application. In addition, in the following embodiments, the description of each embodiment has its own emphasis. For parts not detailed in a particular embodiment, please refer to the relevant description of other embodiments.

[0040] See also Figure 3 and Figure 9In one embodiment, the motor includes: a housing 2, in which a stator 3 and a rotor 4 are arranged; and two end covers 1, which are fixed to both ends of the housing 2 using an end cover fixing structure.

[0041] For details, see Figures 3 to 6 In one embodiment, the end cover fixing structure includes: an end cover 1 and a shell 2; the end of the shell 2 is provided with a plurality of protrusions 21 facing the inner side of the shell 2; the outer wall of the end cover 1 is provided with a plurality of radially recessed grooves 11, and the grooves 11 include a fixing surface 111 axially facing the outer side of the shell 2; the protrusions 21 are used to be accommodated in the grooves 11 and pressed against the fixing surface 111.

[0042] In this embodiment, the groove 11 on the end cover 1 and the protrusion 21 at the end of the housing 2 are engaged and connected, which will not affect the structure of other components inside the housing 2 and thus will not interfere with the optimization of the internal structure of the motor.

[0043] For further information, see Figure 7 The end cover 1 includes a large diameter section 101 and a small diameter section 102 along the axial direction; a step surface 103 is formed at the connection between the large diameter section 101 and the small diameter section 102; the small diameter section 102 is used to be inserted into the end of the shell 2, and the end face of the shell 2 is pressed against the step surface 103.

[0044] In this embodiment, due to the different outer diameters of the large diameter section 101 and the small diameter section 102 , a step surface 103 is formed at the junction, which can limit the depth of the end cover 1 inserted into the end of the shell 2 .

[0045] As a forming method of the groove 11 , the groove 11 is formed by being axially recessed from the outer end surface of the end cover 1 ; the axial depth of the groove 11 is greater than the length of the large diameter section 101 and less than the overall length of the end cover 1 .

[0046] In this embodiment, the end face of the shell 2 is pressed against the step surface 103, and the end of the protrusion 21 is pressed against the fixing surface 111, that is, the step surface 103 and the fixing surface 111 cooperate to clamp part of the shell 2 to achieve fastening.

[0047] Optionally, a motor bracket mounting block 5 is provided on the outer end surface of the end cover 1 and can be used to assemble the motor bracket.

[0048] In this embodiment, optionally, a through hole 22 is provided on at least one side of the protrusion 21 along the axial direction of the housing 2 .

[0049] In this embodiment, to facilitate the formation of the raised portion 21, two spaced apart through-holes 22 are bored in the housing 2, with the remaining portion between the through-holes 22 forming a strip-shaped portion 23, which is then bent inward to form the raised portion 21. Of course, to save processing costs, a through-hole 22 can be opened a certain distance inward from the end side of the housing 2, with the remaining portion between the through-hole 22 and the end side of the housing 2 forming the strip-shaped portion 23, which is then bent inward to form the raised portion 21.

[0050] In this embodiment, during assembly, the small-diameter section 102 of the end cover 1 can be first inserted into the end of the shell 2 in the axial direction; the end cover 1 or the shell 2 can be rotated to align each strip portion 23 with the corresponding groove 11; then the strip portion 23 is bent inward to form a protrusion 21, and the assembly of the end cover and the shell 2 is completed, which is simple and efficient.

[0051] In this embodiment, the small-diameter section 102 may be interference-fitted with the end portion of the housing 2 .

[0052] In this embodiment, since the strip portion 23 is bent inwardly along the radial direction to form the protrusion 21, the protrusion 21 will retreat only when subjected to radial force. Therefore, it can withstand a large axial force without deformation and can well fix the end cover 1 and the shell 2.

[0053] In summary, the end cover fixing structure and motor of the present invention remove the screws and nuts, and use the plug-in and clip-on connection between the end cover and the housing, so the end cover and the housing are no longer fixed by screws and nuts, which solves various faults caused by creepage distance, reduces product costs, saves time and labor, and improves product production efficiency.

[0054] It should be noted that the various devices selected in this application (components whose specific structures are not specified) are all universal standard parts or components known to technical personnel in this field, and their structures and principles can be known to technical personnel through technical manuals or through conventional experimental methods.
