AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

When existing stepper motors use larger-sized bearings while ensuring unchanged output, the axial length of the motor increases, making it difficult to meet the size requirements at the same time.

Method used

The first and second grooves are designed on the rotor core to accommodate larger bearings. The inner diameter of the rotor hollow is larger than the outer diameter of the bearing, and the groove depth exceeds the bearing insertion depth. The length of the front and rear bearings of the motor inserted into the groove is one tenth to one third of the total length of the bearing.

Benefits of technology

This allows the use of larger bearings to improve motor life and reliability without reducing motor output, while shortening the motor's axial length, making it suitable for applications with specific size requirements.

Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to a motor, in particular to a stepping motor. Background Art

[0002] like Figure 1 As shown, the existing hybrid stepper motor includes a motor stator core 1, a motor front cover 2, a motor rear cover 3, a front rotor core 4, a rear rotor core 5, a rotor magnet 6, a motor front bearing 7, a motor rear bearing 8 and a rotating shaft 9. In the existing stepper motor solution, there is a certain proportional relationship between the rotor outer diameter R_OD and the stator outer diameter S_OD: 0.45*S_OD <R_OD<0.65*S_OD;

[0003] In this design, in order to reduce the inertia of the motor rotor, the rotor core on the side away from the magnetic steel will be hollowed out. Figure 1 As shown, the hollowed diameter is R_D: R_D < 0.6 * R_OD. A motor's lifespan generally depends on the lifespan of its bearings. Larger bearings have greater load-bearing capacity. For motors of the same output, larger bearings increase motor lifespan. Using bearings with greater load capacity inevitably increases bearing thickness, which in turn increases the motor's axial length (L). In applications with stringent dimensional requirements, motor lifespan and motor length become mutually exclusive.

[0004] Therefore, how to use larger bearings and reduce the axial length of the motor while ensuring that the motor output remains unchanged has become a technical problem that needs to be solved. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of the present invention is to provide a stepping motor to overcome the above-mentioned defects in the prior art. While ensuring that the motor output remains unchanged, a larger-sized bearing is used and the axial length of the motor is reduced.

[0006] The purpose of the utility model can be achieved through the following technical solutions:

[0008] As a preferred technical solution, the rotor hollow inner diameter R_D1 of the first groove and the second groove is larger than the bearing outer diameter B_OD1.

[0009] As a preferred technical solution, the specific relationship between the rotor hollow inner diameter R_D1 and the rotor outer diameter R_OD1 of the first groove and the second groove is as follows:

[0010] 0.65*R_OD1 <R_D1

[0011] As a preferred technical solution, the specific relationship between the outer diameter S_OD1 of the motor stator core and the outer diameter R_OD1 of the rotor is as follows:

[0012] 0.65*S_OD1 <R_OD1

[0013] As a preferred technical solution, the depth of the first groove and the second groove is greater than the insertion depth of the bearing.

[0014] As a preferred technical solution, the length of the motor front bearing inserted into the first groove is one tenth to one third of the total length of the bearing.

[0015] As a preferred technical solution, the length of the motor front bearing inserted into the first groove is one fifth of the total length of the bearing.

[0016] As a preferred technical solution, the length of the motor rear bearing inserted into the second groove is one tenth to one third of the total length of the bearing.

[0017] As a preferred technical solution, the length of the motor rear bearing inserted into the second groove is one-fifth of the total length of the bearing.

[0018] As a preferred technical solution, the overall length L1 of the motor is shortened.

[0019] Compared with the prior art, the utility model has the following advantages:

[0020] The motor of the utility model ensures that the motor output remains unchanged while the motor uses larger-sized bearings, which greatly improves the life and reliability of the motor. At the same time, the axial length of the newly designed motor is reduced, which can be applied to applications that have requirements on the axial length of the motor.

[0030] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the embodiments described are 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 should fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0031] like Figure 2 As shown, the utility model is a stepping motor, comprising a motor stator core 1, a motor front end cover 2, a motor rear end cover 3, a front rotor core 4, a rear rotor core 5, a rotor magnetic steel 6, a motor front bearing 7, a motor rear bearing 8 and a rotating shaft 9, wherein the rotating shaft 9 sequentially penetrates the motor front end cover 2, the motor front bearing 7, the front rotor core 4, the rear rotor core 5, the motor rear bearing 8 and the motor rear end cover 3, and the front rotor core 4 is provided with a first groove for partially inserting the motor front bearing 7 on the side facing the motor front bearing 7, and the rear rotor core 5 is provided with a second groove for partially inserting the motor rear bearing 8 on the side facing the motor rear bearing 8.

[0032] The depth of the first groove and the second groove is greater than the depth of the bearing insertion; the length of the motor front bearing 7 inserted into the first groove is one tenth to one third of the total length of the bearing; further preferably, the length of the motor front bearing 7 inserted into the first groove is one fifth of the total length of the bearing.

[0033] The length of the motor rear bearing 8 inserted into the second groove is one tenth to one third of the total length of the bearing. Further preferably, the length of the motor rear bearing 8 inserted into the second groove is one fifth of the total length of the bearing.

[0034] In the solution of the present invention, in order to use larger-sized bearings, improve the bearing capacity, and thus extend the life of the motor, the following methods are included:

[0035] 1)0.65*S_OD1 <R_OD1

[0036] 2)0.65*R_OD1 <R_D1

[0037] 3)B_OD1 <R_D1

[0038] Under this design, the outer diameter of the motor bearing is smaller than the outer diameter of the hollowed-out rotor core, so a portion of the motor bearing can be placed in the rotor, saving the axial dimension of the motor and shortening the length L1 of the motor.

[0039] As shown in Table 1, the comparison between the present invention and the original design is illustrated by taking a 42mm stepper motor as an example.

[0040] As can be seen from the table below, the existing design uses 625 bearings with inner and outer diameters of 5mm, 16mm, and 5mm, respectively. The motor's rotor outer diameter is small, and the rotor hollow outer diameter is also small. Even if the rotor hollow outer diameter is increased (due to some process limitations), it is impossible to accommodate a bearing with a larger outer diameter.

[0041] In the present invention, the rotor is designed with an outer diameter of 30 mm and a hollowed inner diameter of 22.6 mm, which can be placed on a 608 bearing. The inner and outer diameter thicknesses of the bearings are 8 mm, 22 mm and 7 mm respectively.

[0042] With the addition of the above design, the thickness of the motor is also reduced to a certain extent while ensuring the performance of the motor.

[0045] The motor of the utility model ensures that the motor output remains unchanged while the motor uses larger-sized bearings, which greatly improves the life and reliability of the motor. At the same time, the axial length of the newly designed motor is reduced, which can be applied to applications that have requirements on the axial length of the motor.

Any person skilled in the art can easily conceive of various equivalent modifications or substitutions within the technical scope disclosed in the present invention, and such modifications or substitutions are intended to be within the scope of protection of the present invention.
