Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of motors, and more particularly to a motor. Background Art

[0002] Currently, there are two main types of motors on the market: metal-cased motors, which are expensive and lack rust resistance; and plastic-encapsulated motors, which are manufactured by placing the stator into a pre-molded mold. These are low-cost and waterproof. However, during the manufacture of plastic-encapsulated motors, the high temperature and high pressure generated by the injection molding material inevitably damage the stator coils, and in severe cases, can even cause them to break, resulting in a high motor defect rate and low injection molding production efficiency.

[0003] Chinese Patent No. CN108574363A discloses a plastic-cased motor. While this prior art motor utilizes a plastic casing for assembly, preventing coil damage caused by injection molding, its stator assembly is loosely fitted to the inner sidewalls of the two plastic casings. This relies entirely on tooling to ensure the concentricity of the motor's two bearing chambers and bearings. This not only complicates the production process but also makes concentricity difficult to guarantee. Furthermore, during operation, the stator and rotor of this prior art motor are contained within the same cavity, preventing effective heat dissipation. Utility Model Content

[0008] In this technology, the first groove is used to form a cold air channel for air intake, and the second groove and the notch are used to form a hot air channel for air outlet, so as to realize air convection inside the motor housing, form a heat dissipation duct structure, realize effective heat dissipation of the motor, and help extend the service life of the motor.

[0009] In a preferred technical solution, multiple first grooves are evenly arranged on the inner wall of the first shell along the circumferential direction, and multiple second grooves are evenly arranged on the lower end outer wall of the second shell along the circumferential direction; the first grooves and the second grooves are staggered, and adjacent first grooves and second grooves are not on the same plane.

[0010] In this technology, the heat dissipation effect of the motor housing is further improved by evenly arranging multiple first grooves and multiple second grooves.

[0011] In a preferred technical solution, a fully or partially tight fit relationship is formed between the inner wall of the first shell and the outer peripheral wall of the stator core, so that the stator core is not easy to loosen, ensuring the concentricity of the stator assembly and the first shell.

[0012] In a preferred technical solution, a fully tight fit or partially tight fit relationship is formed between the lower end outer wall of the second shell and the upper end inner wall of the first shell, so that the second shell is assembled more firmly and the fitting accuracy is high, which can ensure the concentricity of the second shell and the first shell.

[0013] In a preferred technical solution, the first shell and the second shell are respectively provided with mounting ears, and the first shell is connected to the second shell via the mounting ears. In this technology, the first shell and the second shell are mechanically connected together via the mounting ears, and the assembly is more secure.

[0014] In a preferred technical solution, the first shell and the second shell are fixedly connected by glue, and the glue connection is easy to operate and has low manufacturing cost.

[0031] Reference Figure 1-4 A motor according to an embodiment of the present invention is described.

[0032] In one embodiment, if Figure 1-4 As shown, a motor includes a first shell 1, a second shell 2, a stator assembly 3, a rotor 4, a motor shaft 5 and a bearing 6. The first shell 1 and the second shell 2 are respectively provided with a bearing chamber 7 for installing the bearing 6. The motor shaft 5 is passed through the axial hole of the rotor 4, and both ends are installed in the bearing chamber 7 through bearings 6. The rotor 4 is arranged at the center of the stator assembly 3. The stator assembly 3 includes a stator core 31 and a stator winding 32.

[0033] Among them, the outer shell of the above-mentioned motor is composed of a first shell 1 and a second shell 2, and the first shell 1 and the second shell 2 are fixedly connected together; a first bearing chamber 71 is provided at the center of the first shell 1, and a second bearing chamber 72 is provided at the center of the second shell 2; the center line of the first bearing chamber 71 coincides with the center line of the inner cavity of the first shell 1, and the center line of the second bearing chamber 72 coincides with the center line of the inner cavity of the second shell 2, and the center line of the first bearing chamber 71 is coaxial with the center line of the second bearing chamber 72; a first bearing 61 and a second bearing 62 are respectively provided in the first bearing chamber 71 and the second bearing chamber 72, and the first bearing 61 and the second bearing 62 are respectively sleeved on both ends of the motor shaft 5, so that the motor shaft 5 can be rotatably arranged between the first shell 1 and the second shell 2, thereby ensuring the concentricity of the stator assembly 3, the rotor 4 and the motor shaft 5.

[0034] Both the first shell 1 and the second shell 2 are made of plastic; a stator support 8 is provided at the bottom of the inner cavity of the first shell 1 for supporting the lower end surface of the stator core 31, and the inner wall of the first shell 1 is tightly matched with the outer peripheral wall of the stator core 31; the lower end of the second shell 2 is inserted into the inner cavity of the first shell 1 and pressed against the upper end surface of the stator core 31, and the lower end outer wall of the second shell 2 is tightly matched with the upper end inner wall of the first shell 1.

[0035] The stator core 31 is formed by stacking a large number of silicon steel sheets by pressure and adhesive, and the stator winding 32 is wound on the stator core 31 .

[0036] The first housing 1 can be a cylindrical housing with an open upper end, whose inner cavity constitutes an installation cavity for installing the stator assembly 3. The stator assembly 3 is arranged in the inner cavity of the first housing 1. The inner diameter of the stator support 8 is smaller than the outer diameter of the stator core 31 so as to support the lower end surface of the stator core 31 and prevent the stator core 31 from moving downward. At the same time, since the inner wall of the first housing 1 is tightly matched with the outer wall of the stator core 31, the stator core 31 can be prevented from moving left and right, ensuring that the center line of the stator assembly 3 is coaxial with the center line of the first bearing chamber 71 on the first housing 1, thereby obtaining better concentricity.

[0037] The inner diameter of the lower end of the second shell 2 is smaller than the outer diameter of the stator core 31, and the height of the second shell 2 is greater than or equal to the distance from the upper end surface of the stator core 31 to the top surface of the first shell 1. This ensures that after the second shell 2 is inserted into the inner cavity of the first shell 1, its lower end can press the upper end surface of the stator core 31, thereby preventing the stator assembly 3 from moving upward. At the same time, the outer wall of the lower end of the second shell 2 and the inner wall of the upper end of the first shell 1 form a tight fit structure, which can serve as a guide and facilitate the pressing of the second shell 2 into the inner cavity of the first shell 1.

[0038] At the same time, since the structure of the motor is to fix the stator assembly 3 by pressing the silicon steel sheets of the stator core 31 at the lower end of the second shell 2, there is no limit on the thickness of the stator core 31. Therefore, the stator core 31 can be of different thicknesses, which is more versatile.

[0039] In specific implementation, if there are other models of motors and silicon steel sheets need to be added to the stator core 31, the second shell 2 can be used with different motors while ensuring that the second shell 2 extends into the inner cavity of the first shell 1 to a certain depth, can press the upper end surface of the stator core 31, and ensures that the various components of the motor are coaxial, thereby achieving multiple uses with one mold.

[0040] The motor provided in the above embodiment can fix the stator assembly 3 in the inner cavity of the first shell 1 by supporting the stator support 8 provided on the first shell 1 and pressing down the lower end of the second shell 2. At the same time, the inner wall of the first shell 1 is tightly matched with the outer peripheral wall of the stator core 31, which can prevent the stator assembly 3 from shaking laterally, thereby improving the concentricity between the various components of the motor.

[0041] In this embodiment, a first groove 101 communicating with the stator support 8 is provided on the inner wall of the first shell 1 in the vertical direction; a second groove 201 is provided on the outer wall of the second shell 2 in the vertical direction, and a notch 202 communicating with the second groove 201 is provided on the side wall of the lower end of the second shell 2 that presses the stator core 31.

[0042] Among them, a groove extending downward from the top edge is provided on the inner wall of the first shell 1, and a groove is also provided on the top of the stator support 8. The two grooves are connected to form a first groove 101. The upper end opening of the first groove 101 is located at the top edge of the first shell 1, and the lower end opening is located on the side of the stator support 8 and contacts the lower end surface of the stator core 31, so that a cold air channel can be formed on the outside of the stator assembly 3, and the cold air channel leads to the bottom surface of the stator core 31.

[0043] The upper opening of the second groove 201 is located at the top edge of the second shell 2, and the lower opening is connected to the notch 202 and contacts the upper end surface of the stator core 31. The second groove 201 and the notch 202 are connected to each other to form a hot air channel.

[0044] During specific implementation, the number of the first groove 101 and the second groove 201 is not limited and can be one or more; a sealed cavity is formed between the inner wall of the second shell 2 and the upper end surface of the stator core 31, which encloses the main heat source of the motor - the enameled wire in the stator winding 32. After the enameled wire is heated, the air density in the sealed cavity becomes smaller, forming a negative pressure, and cold air is sucked in through the cold air channel formed by the first groove 101. At the same time, the hot air generated when the motor is working is discharged through the hot air channel formed by the second groove 201 and the notch 202, forming air convection inside the motor, forming a heat dissipation duct structure with good heat dissipation performance.

[0045] In this embodiment, a plurality of first grooves 101 are evenly arranged along the circumferential direction on the inner wall of the first shell 1, and a plurality of second grooves 201 are evenly arranged along the circumferential direction on the lower end outer wall of the second shell 2; the first grooves 101 and the second grooves 201 are staggered, and adjacent first grooves 101 and second grooves 201 are not on the same plane.

[0046] In specific implementation, in order to ensure the heat dissipation effect and the force balance of the motor, the first groove 101 and the second groove 201 can be two or more, and multiple first grooves 101 can be evenly distributed along the circumference on the inner wall of the first shell 1, and multiple second grooves 201 can be evenly distributed along the circumference on the outer wall of the second shell 2.

[0047] In this embodiment, a fully tight fit or a partially tight fit is formed between the inner wall of the first housing 1 and the outer peripheral wall of the stator core 31 .

[0048] During specific implementation, the inner wall of the first shell 1 and the outer peripheral wall of the stator core 31 are squeezed against each other to form a full or partial tight fit, so that the stator core 31 is not easy to loosen. At the same time, the fit accuracy is high, which can ensure the concentricity of the stator assembly 3 and the first shell 1.

[0049] In this embodiment, a full tight fit or a partial tight fit is formed between the lower end outer wall of the second shell 2 and the upper end inner wall of the first shell 1 .

[0050] During specific implementation, the lower outer wall of the second shell 2 and the upper inner wall of the first shell 1 are squeezed against each other to form a full or partial tight fit, so that the second shell 2 is assembled more firmly and the fit accuracy is high, which can ensure the concentricity of the second shell 2 and the first shell 1.

[0051] In this embodiment, mounting ears 9 are respectively provided on the first shell 1 and the second shell 2 , and the first shell 1 is connected to the second shell 2 via the mounting ears 9 .

[0052] Among them, the mounting ears 9 are respectively arranged on the edges of the first shell 1 and the second shell 2, and the mounting ears 9 of the two can be fixedly connected by screws and threaded rods, so that the first shell 1 and the second shell 2 are fixedly connected together to form the outer shell of the motor.

[0053] In this embodiment, the first shell 1 and the second shell 2 are fixedly connected by glue. The glue connection is easy to operate and has low manufacturing cost.

[0054] In this embodiment, fan blades are further provided on the motor shaft 5. In specific implementation, the fan blades can be provided on the upper side or the lower side of the rotor 4, so that the negative pressure in the air duct is stronger, which helps to improve the heat dissipation effect.

[0055] In this embodiment, the bearing chamber 7 is made of metal or plastic.

[0056] The bearing chamber 7 includes a first bearing chamber 71 located at the center of the first housing 1 and a second bearing chamber 72 located at the center of the second housing 2 . Both the first bearing chamber 71 and the second bearing chamber 72 are made of metal or plastic.

[0057] In specific implementation, the bearing chamber 7 made of metal is more durable and is conducive to the installation of bearings, while the bearing chamber 7 made of plastic can be integrally formed with the first shell 1 and the second shell 2, which is more convenient to manufacture.

[0058] In this embodiment, both the first shell 1 and the second shell 2 are made of BMC material.

[0059] Among them, BMC (Bulk Molding Compound) refers to bulk molding compound, which is a material used to manufacture glass fiber reinforced thermosetting products. It has excellent electrical properties, mechanical properties, heat resistance and chemical corrosion resistance. It is used to manufacture the first shell 1 and the second shell 2. It has good insulation, stable structure, low cost, and is suitable for mass production.
