Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to a vibration motor, more specifically, to a vibration motor capable of preventing grease from overflowing, belonging to the field of vibration motors. Background Art

[0002] A vibration motor is an excitation source that combines a power source with a vibration source. It utilizes a set of adjustable eccentric weights installed at either or both ends of the rotor shaft, generating an excitation force using the centrifugal force generated by the high-speed rotation of the shaft and eccentric weights. Vibration motors offer high excitation force utilization, low energy consumption, low noise, and a long lifespan. The excitation force can be adjusted steplessly, making them easy to use. Depending on the application, they can be divided into standard and explosion-proof vibration motors; and depending on the mounting structure, they can be divided into horizontal and vertical vibration motors. Vibration motors are widely used in various types of vibrating machinery, such as vibrating crushers, vibrating screens, and vibrating balers. They are widely used in hydropower construction, thermal power generation, construction, building materials, chemicals, mining, coal mining, metallurgy, light industry, and other industrial sectors. Furthermore, vibration motors in the YZO series are characterized by easy maintenance, high strength, and a proper balance between excitation force and output.

[0003] However, during the use of vibration motors, some mechanical failures may occur. Bearing system failure is a typical and relatively common problem. When a bearing system failure occurs, the main symptoms are noise and heat. In severe cases, grease leakage and blackening may occur, leading to aging problems.

[0004] Specifically, the issue of grease overflow from bearings in vibration motors, affecting the use of eccentric blocks, can be caused by a variety of factors. On the one hand, eccentricity during the bearing manufacturing and installation process may cause the bearing to be subjected to additional pressure and vibration during operation, accelerating grease aging and overflow. On the other hand, problems with the bearing system's fit or electrical corrosion may cause elevated temperatures, degrading the grease's performance and further increasing the heating of the bearing system, creating a vicious cycle.

[0005] When grease overflows and contaminates the eccentric weight or other motor components, it can affect the proper operation of the vibration motor. For example, degraded grease can cause abnormal bearing noise, resulting in rough rotation and, in severe cases, even heating and damage. Furthermore, grease contamination can affect the adjustment of the eccentric weight and the generation of the excitation force, thereby compromising the overall performance of the vibration motor.

[0006] Therefore, when using a vibration motor, it's important to pay attention to the maintenance and care of the bearing system. Grease should be regularly inspected and replaced to ensure that the quality and quantity meet the required requirements. Also, pay attention to the installation and adjustment of the bearings to avoid eccentricity. Vibration motors that experience problems such as grease overflow should be promptly inspected and maintained to ensure proper operation and extend their service life.

[0007] Therefore, it is an inevitable trend to develop a vibration motor with simple structure, strong practicality, and the ability to prevent grease in the bearing from overflowing or being thrown out to affect the adjustment of the eccentric block and the generation of exciting force, thereby ensuring normal operation and extending service life.

Therefore, they cannot be understood as limitations on the present invention.

[0027] like Figure 1-4 The figure shows a specific embodiment of a vibration motor that can prevent grease from overflowing. The embodiment of the vibration motor that can prevent grease from overflowing comprises a motor housing, at least one end of which is sealed with a bearing seat 1. Figure 1As shown, as a conventional design, a set of adjustable eccentric blocks are installed at each end of the rotor shaft (i.e., the shaft 3 of this application), and the centrifugal force generated by the high-speed rotation of the shaft and the eccentric blocks is used to obtain the exciting force. The following content only introduces the structure of one end of the rotor shaft. The bearing seat 1 is embedded with a bearing 2, and the shaft 3 of the vibration motor passes through the bearing 2 and extends out of the bearing seat 1 through the through hole 5 on the bearing seat 1. The shaft 3 outside the bearing seat 1 is detachably connected with an eccentric block 4, and the through hole 5 is embedded with an external oil seal 6. The sealing sleeve of the external oil seal 6 is provided on the shaft 3 to prevent the grease in the bearing 2 from overflowing;

[0028] In the conventional technology, only an oil seal is provided on the inner side of the bearing 2 to prevent the grease in the bearing from leaking inwards and ensure good lubrication and normal operation of the bearing. Therefore, there is no specific structure that can realize the combined design of the bearing, the rotating shaft and the outer oil seal.

[0029] Principle / Operational Scheme of the Application: When a vibration motor is in use, its bearing 2 is continuously subjected to additional pressure and vibration due to operation. According to the design scheme of the application, even when the grease ages and overflows, the grease can be prevented from overflowing and contaminating the eccentric weight 4. Specifically: The application creatively prevents the grease from overflowing and contaminating the eccentric weight 4 through the combination of the bearing seat 1 and the outer oil seal 6, thereby avoiding affecting the normal operation of the vibration motor. The structure is simple and practical.

[0030] In a preferred embodiment, a bearing mounting hole is defined on the inner side of the bearing seat 1. The through hole 5 is connected to the bearing mounting hole and is coaxially arranged. The bearing 2 is embedded in the bearing mounting hole. The bearing mounting hole is covered with a bearing sleeve 7 that can be mounted on the rotating shaft 3 to prevent the bearing 2 from falling out of the bearing mounting hole. The coaxial arrangement can prevent the rotating shaft 3 from being worn and increase its service life. The bearing sleeve 7 can not only prevent the bearing 2 from falling out of the bearing mounting hole, but also prevent grease from overflowing to a certain extent.

[0031] In a preferred embodiment, the bearing 2 is adapted to the size of the bearing mounting hole, so as to achieve a tight fit and clamping, thereby achieving assembly stability and reducing the probability of problems such as mechanical noise.

[0032] In a preferred embodiment, a retaining spring 8 is engaged in the bearing mounting hole outside the bearing sleeve 7 to prevent the bearing sleeve 7 from falling out of the bearing mounting hole. The structure is simple and practical.

[0033] In a preferred embodiment, a circular groove 9 is recessed on the inner wall of the bearing mounting hole, a portion of the retaining spring 8 is embedded in the circular groove 9 for positioning, and the other portion extends out of the circular groove 9 to limit the bearing sleeve 7. This positioning method of partially embedding the circular groove 9 can not only realize the function of limiting the bearing sleeve 7, but also achieve the stability of the position of the retaining spring 8 to a greater extent.

[0034] Preferably, the bearing 2 is a ball bearing 2, or a spherical bearing, a roller bearing, etc., which is selected according to actual needs, and the application does not make specific limitations.

[0035] Preferably, the bearing sleeve 7 is provided with an inner oil seal 10 at the through hole to prevent the grease in the bearing 2 from overflowing into the motor housing, which is simple in structure and strong in practicability, and the inner and outer oil seals are matched, thereby greatly improving the service life of the vibration motor.

[0036] Preferably, the motor housing is covered with a bearing seat 1 at both ends, which is simple in structure and strong in practicability.
