Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of aerator technology, specifically to a direct-drive permanent magnet variable frequency aerator. Background Technology

[0002] In aquaculture, aerators are crucial equipment, primarily used to increase dissolved oxygen levels in the water to prevent oxygen deficiency. They also inhibit the growth of anaerobic bacteria, preventing water quality deterioration that could threaten the survival of fish and shrimp. Aerators include impeller aerators, paddlewheel aerators, spray aerators, air-filled aerators, suction aerators, and vortex aerators. Among these, paddlewheel aerators offer excellent oxygenation and promote water flow, making them suitable for various water types. Current paddlewheel aerators mainly consist of a float, mounting frame, motor, and impeller. During operation, the motor shaft is connected to the impeller shaft via couplings at both ends, driving the impeller to rotate and agitate the water, generating a large amount of water spray that dissolves air and forms dissolved oxygen. Currently, the motors used in waterwheel aerators on the market are usually internal rotor drive structures. Motors with this structure are large in size and heavy in weight. When the motor is in use, it is fixed on the mounting frame, which is in turn fixed on the floating vessel. This requires thickening the mounting frame and correspondingly increasing the volume of the floating vessel. As a result, assembling the waterwheel aerator is more laborious and also increases the manufacturing cost of the waterwheel aerator. Utility Model Content

[0003] To overcome the aforementioned problems in the existing technology, this utility model provides a direct-drive permanent magnet variable frequency aerator. This direct-drive permanent magnet variable frequency aerator includes a floating platform, a mounting frame, a motor, and an impeller. The components are connected using a specific structure, making installation very convenient for users. The motor is fixed to the mounting frame via feet on both sides, and these feet are detachably connected to the motor housing. This allows for the selection of feet with the corresponding center height based on the impeller's outer diameter during actual use. In this case, only one type of motor is needed to adapt to different impeller models, resulting in a wide range of applications and reduced user operating costs. Furthermore, the motor in this aerator has its stator located inside the rotor frame, making the overall structure compact and lightweight, thus reducing the overall size and weight of the aerator, lowering production and transportation costs. This type of motor also has high operating efficiency, further reducing user electricity expenses and offering good economic benefits. (External rotor structural design)

[0004] The technical solution of this application is as follows: a direct-drive permanent magnet variable frequency aerator, including a floating platform, a mounting frame, a motor, and an impeller; the mounting frame is fixed on the floating platform; the motor is fixed to the mounting frame via feet on both sides; the motor includes a housing, and a rotor and a stator disposed within the housing; the rotor includes a rotating shaft and a rotor frame sleeved on the rotating shaft; magnets are provided on the inner circumferential surface of the rotor frame; the stator is fixed on the stator frame and disposed inside the rotor frame; the stator frame is fixedly connected to the housing; both ends of the rotating shaft extend out from the housing and are connected to the impeller shaft via couplings; the impeller is fixed on the impeller shaft; a mounting boss is provided on each side of the housing, and the feet are detachably connected to the mounting boss.

[0005] Compared with existing technologies, the direct-drive permanent magnet variable frequency aerator of this application includes a floating platform, a mounting frame, a motor, and an impeller. The motor is fixed to the mounting frame via feet on both sides, and the feet are detachably connected to the motor housing. This allows for the selection of feet with the corresponding center height based on the outer diameter of the impeller during actual use. In this case, only one type of motor is needed to adapt to different impeller models (traditional aerators require different motors for different impellers), resulting in a wide range of applications and reduced user costs. Furthermore, the motor of the aerator of this application adopts an external rotor structure, with the rotor frame mounted on the motor shaft, driving the motor shaft to rotate. The stator is located inside the rotor frame. This external rotor design reduces the outer diameter of the stator, making the motor structure more compact and the overall weight lighter, thus reducing the size and weight of the aerator, facilitating user installation, reducing production and transportation costs, and offering good economic efficiency. Moreover, this type of motor has high operating efficiency, which helps reduce users' electricity expenses.

[0006] As an optimization, in the aforementioned direct-drive permanent magnet variable frequency aerator, the impeller shaft is fixed to the mounting frame via a bearing housing. The bearing housing supports the impeller shaft, ensuring its stability during rotation. Furthermore, the bearing housing includes a base fixed to the mounting frame and a top cover on top of the base; a rubber bearing sleeve is provided between the top cover and the base, and the rubber bearing sleeve is fitted onto the impeller shaft. Dividing the bearing housing into multiple detachable parts facilitates the installation and fixation of the impeller shaft.

[0007] As an optimization, in the aforementioned direct-drive permanent magnet variable frequency aerator, the coupling includes a connecting component and mounting sleeves A and B fixed on both sides of the connecting component; mounting sleeve A is fixed to the end of the rotating shaft, and mounting sleeve B is fixed to the end of the impeller shaft. The coupling with the above-described structure is simple in design and easy to manufacture; moreover, it facilitates connection with the impeller shaft and the rotating shaft.

[0008] As an optimization, in the aforementioned direct-drive permanent magnet variable frequency aerator, the mounting feet are fitted onto the mounting boss and secured with screws. The screw connection between the mounting feet and the mounting boss facilitates easy assembly and disassembly, making it simpler and more convenient to replace feet with different center heights, thus reducing implementation difficulty. Furthermore, the outer circumferential surface of the mounting boss has external splines, and correspondingly, the inner circumferential surface of the mounting feet has internal splines; the mounting feet and the mounting boss are positioned by the interaction of the internal and external splines. Furthermore, the center height of the mounting feet can be 50mm or 130mm. In aquaculture, paddlewheel aerators mainly use impellers with outer diameters of 450mm and 680mm; a 50mm center height mounting foot is suitable for a 450mm outer diameter impeller, and a 130mm center height mounting foot is suitable for a 680mm outer diameter impeller.

[0009] As an optimization, in the aforementioned direct-drive permanent magnet variable frequency aerator, the mounting frame includes a rectangular frame; the four corners of the rectangular frame are respectively fixed to the floating vessel; two crossbars are provided in the middle of the rectangular frame for mounting two machine feet. The mounting frame adopts a frame structure, which can save manufacturing materials and reduce production costs while ensuring the connection is firm.

[0010] As an optimization, in the aforementioned direct-drive permanent magnet variable frequency aerator, a floating platform is provided on each side of the motor, and an impeller is provided on each side of each floating platform.

[0011] Furthermore, the impeller includes a hub and a set of blades spaced apart on the outer circumferential surface of the hub; the hub is fitted onto the impeller shaft and secured with bolts. In this configuration, the connection structure is simple and easy to implement. Attached Figure Description
