DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0025] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the utility model, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative labor fall within the scope of protection of the utility model.

[0026] Embodiment one:

[0027] As Figures 1 to 5 shown, the utility model embodiment one provides a kind of electric motor of electric vehicle oil seal waterproof structure, its structure mainly includes limit ring 1, first elastic body 6 and two groups of elastic restraint.Just, limit ring 1 is fixed in the mounting groove 2 on motor end cover 21.As Figure 3 shown, limit ring 1 is specifically a cylinder 3, and first ring body 4 and second ring body 5 are fixed at the both ends of cylinder 3 respectively, and second ring body 5 is located at the outside of mounting groove 2.Limit ring 1 is metal material.In order to ensure firm fixation, a circle of convex edge 19 is fixed on the outer wall of limit ring 1, and the convex edge 19 is closely connected with motor end cover 21 by bolt.Meanwhile, between the inner wall of mounting groove 2 and first ring body 4, sealing pad 20 is additionally provided, when bolt is fastened in mounting groove 2, first ring body 4 abuts tightly sealing pad 20, so that the lubricating oil in motor cannot leak from the gap between mounting groove 2 and first ring body 4, to enhance waterproof effect and the sealing property of installation.

[0028] As Figure 3As shown, a first elastic body 6 is disposed on the side of the retaining ring 1 near the motor shaft 22. The first elastic body 6 is primarily composed of an annular body 7, which is fixed to the inner wall of the cylindrical body 3. The motor shaft 22 passes through the center of the annular body 7. Two symmetrical sealing lips 8 are disposed on the side of the annular body 7 near the motor shaft 22. The sealing lips 8 are capable of clamping onto the motor shaft 22, maintaining close contact with the motor shaft 22, thereby preventing lubricating oil from leaking through the gap between the sealing lips 8 and the motor shaft 22 and effectively preventing external moisture from entering the motor.

[0029] The first elastic body 6 and the two sealing lips 8 are an integral structure made of rubber. In order to enhance the fit between the sealing lips 8 and the motor shaft 22, the present invention has designed two sets of elastic restraints. These elastic restraints are symmetrically arranged in the limiting ring 1, and are respectively used to press the two rings of sealing lips 8 toward the motor shaft 22. Each set of elastic restraints is evenly distributed in a ring with the axis of the limiting ring 1 as the center to ensure uniform pressure distribution and sealing effect. Figure 3 and Figure 5 As shown, the elastic constraint member comprises a first arc segment 11, a second arc segment 12, and a connecting segment 13. The first arc segment 11 and the second arc segment 12 are respectively fixed to the ends of the connecting segment 13. The connecting segment 13 has a multi-turn curved structure and a certain degree of elasticity to adapt to different pressure changes. This ensures that when the first arc segment 11 and the second arc segment 12 are closer, there is an elastic force in the opposite direction, thereby pressing the sealing lip 8 against the motor shaft 22.

[0030] like Figure 3 As shown, cavities 14 for installing elastic constraints are symmetrically provided on both sides of the annular body 7. A first interference groove 15 and a second interference groove 16 are provided in the cavity 14. The first interference groove 15 is located on the inner wall of the cavity 14 close to the sealing lip 8, and is used to interfere with the first arc segment 11; the second interference groove 16 is located on the inner wall of the cavity 14 away from the sealing lip 8, and is used to interfere with the connecting segment 13. The second arc segment 12 interferes with the joint between the annular body 7 and the limiting ring 1. In this way, the second arc segment 12 and the connecting segment 13 can provide support to ensure the stability of the entire structure, so that the first arc segment 11 can stably press down the sealing lip 8. A limiting protrusion 17 is also designed on the outer edge of the first interference groove 15 to further stabilize the installation position of the elastic constraint and prevent the first arc segment 11 from detaching from the first interference groove 15.

[0031] Example 2:

[0032] On the basis of the above embodiment, in order to improve the waterproof effect, Figure 3As shown, a skirt 18 is fixed to the side of the sealing lip 8 adjacent to the second ring body 5. The skirt 18 extends into the gap between the second ring body 5 and the motor shaft 22, which can effectively prevent dust particles from entering the limiting ring 1 from this area.

[0033] Example 3:

[0034] To achieve lubrication and further waterproofing, e.g. Figure 3 As shown, the barrel 3 is provided with an oil filling hole 9, while the annular body 7 is provided with a through hole 10 corresponding to the oil filling hole 9. Lubricating oil can be injected into the cavity formed by the two sealing lips 8 and the motor shaft 22 through the oil filling hole 9 and the through hole 10 using a syringe. The end of the through hole 10 located between the two sealing lips 8 can be sealed by its own elasticity to ensure that oil does not leak from the through hole 10.

[0035] Thus, when the motor shaft 22 rotates, the sealing lip 8 near the motor interior has lubricant on both sides, minimizing friction between that sealing lip 8 and the motor shaft 22. The other sealing lip 8, on one side, also has lubricant, reducing friction with the motor shaft 22. If water from the outside enters the gap between the first elastic body 6 and the second ring body 5 through the gap between the second ring body 5 and the motor shaft 22, even if the gap between the sealing lip 8 near the motor exterior and the motor shaft 22 widens, the cavity between the two sealing lips 8 is filled with lubricant, making it difficult for water to enter the motor interior.

[0036] Obviously, those skilled in the art may make various modifications and variations to the present invention without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. Thus, if such modifications and variations fall within the scope of the claims of the present invention and their equivalents, the present invention is intended to include such modifications and variations.
