Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of motor testing technology, and in particular to a motor airtightness testing device. Background Technology

[0002] As industries increasingly demand higher quality motors, ensuring a good seal between the motor's internal cavity and the external environment has become a critical step in motor manufacturing. If a motor has airtightness defects, external dust, moisture, and corrosive gases can penetrate, damaging the windings and bearings. This can lead to decreased insulation performance, short circuits, increased friction, abnormal heating, and even motor failure. This not only reduces motor efficiency but can also cause safety accidents, increase maintenance costs and downtime, resulting in significant economic losses for the company. Therefore, airtightness testing of motors is necessary to improve quality control in motor production, enhance the company's competitiveness in the market, and provide strong assurance for the stable operation of motors under various complex working conditions.

[0003] Current methods for testing the airtightness of motors mostly involve filling the motor with gas at a certain pressure, cutting off the gas supply after reaching the set pressure, and then continuously monitoring the pressure changes inside the motor using an airtightness detector over a period of time. If the pressure drop exceeds the allowable range, it indicates a leak in the motor; the faster the pressure drops, the greater the leak. However, this testing method requires manual operation, which is cumbersome, complex, time-consuming, and labor-intensive, resulting in low testing efficiency. Furthermore, human error can affect the accuracy and reliability of the test results. Utility Model Content

[0004] To overcome the above shortcomings, this utility model provides a motor airtightness testing device, which aims to improve the existing technology of motor airtightness testing, which requires manual operation, is cumbersome and complicated, time-consuming and labor-intensive, has low testing efficiency, and suffers from the problem that human error affects the accuracy and reliability of the test results.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0006] An airtightness testing device for an electric motor includes a base plate, on which an air pump and a sealing sleeve are mounted. A motor is housed within the sealing sleeve. An air guide pipe is connected to the top of the air pump. A sealing ring is fixedly connected to the top of the outer wall of the sealing sleeve. A sealing membrane is sealed within the sealing ring and covers the motor. The motor is connected to the air guide pipe via a sealing mechanism. The sealing mechanism includes a hollow cylinder covering the motor's air inlet and a hollow threaded column fixedly connected to the end of the air guide pipe. The outer wall of the hollow cylinder is threadedly connected to the inner wall of the hollow threaded column.

[0007] In one embodiment of this utility model, the sealing film is sleeved on the outer periphery of the hollow cylinder and is sealed to the outer periphery of the hollow cylinder.

[0008] In one embodiment of this utility model, the air inlet of the motor and the hollow cylinder are sealed together by a sealing element.

[0009] In one embodiment of this utility model, a threaded strip is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the hollow cylinder, and an internal thread is provided on the inner wall of the hollow threaded column. The threaded strip is connected to the internal thread of the hollow threaded column.

[0010] In one embodiment of this utility model, fixed columns are fixedly connected to both sides of the outer wall of the hollow threaded column.

[0011] In one embodiment of this utility model, a connecting flange is provided at the top of the air pump, and the air guide pipe is connected to the air pump through the connecting flange.

[0012] In one embodiment of this utility model, a valve is provided on the air guide pipe.

[0013] In one embodiment of this utility model, rubber blocks are fixedly connected to both sides of the front end of the base plate, and the plurality of rubber blocks are arranged symmetrically among them.

[0014] In one embodiment of this utility model, sponge blocks are fixedly connected to both sides of the rear end of the base plate, and the multiple sponge blocks are arranged symmetrically.

[0015] In one embodiment of this utility model, a plurality of support blocks are fixedly connected to the bottom end of the base plate, and the plurality of support blocks are symmetrically distributed among them.

[0016] This utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0017] This invention provides a motor airtightness testing device that allows the motor to be positioned within a sealed space formed by a sealing sleeve, sealing ring, and sealing membrane. An air pump is connected to an air guide pipe and secured with a connecting flange. The air guide pipe is then connected to the motor's air inlet via a sealing mechanism. The air pump is turned on, and the valve is adjusted, allowing the pumped air to enter the motor's interior along the air guide pipe. If the motor's airtightness is poor, the air entering the motor will leak into the sealed space formed by the sealing sleeve, sealing ring, and sealing membrane. Since the sealing membrane and sealing sleeve are made of flexible materials, they will deform due to airflow. If the motor's airtightness is good, the air entering the motor will not leak into the sealed space formed by the sealing sleeve, sealing ring, and sealing membrane, and the sealing membrane and sealing sleeve will not deform. Therefore, by observing whether the sealing membrane and sealing sleeve deform, the motor's airtightness can be tested, effectively preventing damage to internal components due to poor airtightness. Therefore, this motor airtightness testing device eliminates the need for manual operation when testing the airtightness of motors, making it simple to operate, time-saving, labor-saving, and highly efficient, while ensuring the accuracy and reliability of the test results. Specifically, the inner wall of the sealing ring is sealed to the outer wall of the sealing membrane, the sealing membrane is sealed to the hollow cylinder, and the motor's air inlet is sealed to the hollow cylinder via a sealing element. This creates a sealed environment between the entire sealing sleeve, sealing ring, sealing membrane, and the motor, effectively preventing gas leakage and ensuring the accuracy and reliability of the motor airtightness test results.

[0018] Furthermore, the air duct of this motor airtightness testing device is connected to the motor via a sealing mechanism. The hollow threaded column of the sealing mechanism is fixedly connected to the air duct, the upper part of the hollow cylinder is threadedly connected to the hollow threaded column, and the lower part of the hollow cylinder is sealed to the motor's air inlet via a sealing element. Thus, the sealing mechanism achieves a sealed connection between the air duct and the motor's air inlet, effectively preventing gas leakage and ensuring the sealing performance at the connection. Moreover, the threaded connection between the hollow cylinder and the hollow threaded column facilitates easy installation and disassembly of the air duct and the motor's air inlet, improving the ease of use of the testing device.

A motor 7 is disposed inside the sealing sleeve 10. The top end of the air pump 3 is connected to an air guide pipe 4. A sealing ring 6 is fixedly connected to the top end of the outer wall of the sealing sleeve 10. A sealing membrane 8 is sealed inside the sealing ring 6. The sealing membrane 8 covers the motor 7. The motor 7 is connected to the air guide pipe 4 through a sealing mechanism 2. The sealing mechanism 2 includes a hollow cylinder 204 covering the air inlet of the motor 7 and a hollow threaded column 201 fixedly connected to the end of the air guide pipe 4. The outer wall of the hollow cylinder 204 is threadedly connected to the inner wall of the hollow threaded column 201.

[0030] Furthermore, the sealing membrane 8 is fitted around the outer periphery of the hollow cylinder 204 and is sealed to the outer periphery of the hollow cylinder 204. This sealed connection between the sealing membrane 8 and the hollow cylinder 204 prevents gas leakage from the connection point, ensuring the sealing performance at the connection.

[0031] Furthermore, the air inlet of the motor 7 is sealed to the hollow cylinder 204 via a sealing element 205. This design allows the gas pumped by the air pump 3 to pass through the air guide pipe 4 and the inner wall of the hollow cylinder 204, entering the motor 7 entirely through its air inlet, thus enabling airtightness testing of the motor 7 and ensuring the accuracy and reliability of the airtightness test.

Thus, the sealing mechanism 2 can achieve a sealed connection between the air guide pipe 4 and the air inlet of the motor 7, effectively preventing gas leakage and ensuring the sealing performance of the connection. Furthermore, the threaded connection between the hollow cylinder 204 and the hollow threaded post 201 makes it easy to install and disassemble the air guide pipe 4 and the air inlet of the motor 7, improving the ease of use of the detection device. The inner wall of the sealing ring 6 is sealed to the outer wall of the sealing membrane 8, the sealing membrane 8 is sealed to the hollow cylinder 204, and the air inlet of the motor 7 is sealed to the hollow cylinder 204 through the sealing element 205. This creates a sealed environment between the entire sealing sleeve 10, the sealing ring 6, the sealing membrane 8 and the motor 7, which can effectively prevent gas leakage and ensure the accuracy and reliability of the airtightness test results of the motor 7.

[0034] Furthermore, fixed posts 202 are fixedly connected to both sides of the outer wall of the hollow threaded post 201. The fixed posts 202 drive the hollow threaded post 201 to rotate, so as to achieve a threaded connection between the hollow cylinder 204 and the hollow threaded post 201.

[0035] Furthermore, a connecting flange 13 is provided at the top of the air pump 3, and the air guide pipe 4 is connected to the air pump 3 through the connecting flange 13.

[0038] Optionally, sponge blocks 12 are fixedly connected to both sides of the rear end of the base plate 1, and the sponge blocks 12 are arranged symmetrically. The base plate 1 can be abutted against the wall or other structure through the sponge blocks 12, which provide additional support for the entire device, play a role in shock absorption, prevent the base plate 1 from directly contacting the wall or other structure, and at the same time protect the base plate 1.

[0039] Optionally, a plurality of support blocks 9 are fixedly connected to the bottom end of the base plate 1, and the plurality of support blocks 9 are symmetrically distributed among each other. The support blocks 9 provide stable support for the entire detection device and ensure uniform force distribution.

[0040] Optionally, the sealing membrane 8 and the sealing sleeve 10 are made of flexible material.

[0041] Working Principle: When performing a sealing test on motor 7, motor 7 is placed in sealing sleeve 10, and the top of sealing sleeve 10 is sealed with sealing ring 6 and sealing membrane 8, thus placing motor 7 in the sealed space formed by sealing sleeve 10, sealing ring 6, and sealing membrane 8. Air pump 3 is connected to air guide pipe 4 and fixed and sealed with connecting flange 13. Air guide pipe 4 is connected to air inlet of motor 7 through sealing mechanism 2. Air pump 3 is turned on, and valve 5 is adjusted. The gas pumped by air pump 3 enters the interior of motor 7 along air guide pipe 4. If the airtightness of motor 7 is poor, the gas entering motor 7 will leak into the sealed space formed by sealing sleeve 10, sealing ring 6, and sealing membrane 8. Since sealing membrane 8 and sealing sleeve 10 are made of flexible material, they will be blown up and deformed. If the airtightness of motor 7 is good, the gas entering motor 7 will not leak into the sealed space formed by sealing sleeve 10, sealing ring 6, and sealing membrane 8, and sealing membrane 8 and sealing sleeve 10 will not deform. Therefore, the airtightness of the motor 7 can be tested by observing whether the sealing membrane 8 and the sealing sleeve 10 are deformed, thus effectively preventing damage to the internal equipment of the motor 7 due to poor airtightness. This motor airtightness testing device eliminates the need for manual operation, is simple to operate, saves time and effort, has high testing efficiency, and ensures the accuracy and reliability of the test results. Specifically, the inner wall of the sealing ring 6 is sealed to the outer wall of the sealing membrane 8, the sealing membrane 8 is sealed to the hollow cylinder 204, and the air inlet of the motor 7 is sealed to the hollow cylinder 204 through a sealing element 205. This creates a sealed environment between the sealing sleeve 10, the sealing ring 6, the sealing membrane 8, and the motor 7, effectively preventing gas leakage and ensuring the accuracy and reliability of the airtightness test results for the motor 7.

[0042] In this device, to allow air to circulate inside the motor 7, the air inlet of the air duct 4 must be completely sealed. Therefore, the air duct 4 of the motor airtightness testing device is connected to the motor 7 via a sealing mechanism 2. The hollow threaded post 201 of the sealing mechanism 2 is fixedly connected to the air duct 4, the upper part of the hollow cylinder 204 is threadedly connected to the hollow threaded post 201, and the lower part of the hollow cylinder 204 is sealed to the air inlet of the motor 7 via a sealing element 205. Thus, the sealing mechanism 2 achieves a sealed connection between the air duct 4 and the air inlet of the motor 7, effectively preventing gas leakage and ensuring the sealing performance at the connection. Furthermore, the threaded connection between the hollow cylinder 204 and the hollow threaded post 201 facilitates installation and disassembly between the air duct 4 and the air inlet of the motor 7, improving the ease of use of the testing device.

It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make several modifications and improvements without departing from the concept of this utility model, and these all fall within the protection scope of this utility model.
