Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of motor technology, specifically relating to a brushed motor. Background Technology

[0002] In fields such as automobiles and medical equipment, miniaturization of motors, especially DC motors, is a current development trend to avoid taking up too much space and weight. Miniaturized DC motors, while reducing size, can maintain high power output, meaning they can provide greater power within the same volume or weight, thus improving equipment performance or reducing overall energy consumption while meeting the same performance requirements. Furthermore, more compact DC motors have relatively lower electromagnetic and mechanical losses during operation, consuming less electrical energy and improving energy efficiency. However, when miniaturized DC motors are used in vibration environments, the housing is prone to loosening, which can lead to equipment failure.

[0003] Therefore, the above problems urgently need to be solved. Utility Model Content

[0004] Purpose of the utility model: In order to overcome the above shortcomings, this utility model provides a brushed motor that makes the housing connection firm, avoids the front cover and rear cover from loosening, improves the reliability of the motor, and extends its service life.

[0005] Technical Solution: To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides a brushed motor, including a housing, within which a stator and a rotor are housed. The housing includes a front cover and a rear cover, the openings of which are connected to form a hollow cavity. The rotor is movably connected at both ends to the front cover and the rear cover, respectively. The stator is connected to the inner wall of the rear cover. A slot is provided at the end of the front cover near the rear cover, the slot being positioned around the axis of the front cover. A buckle is provided at the end of the rear cover near the front cover. The buckle and the slot are correspondingly positioned and engage. The buckle includes a bent portion and a pressing portion. One end of the bent portion is connected to the rear cover, and the end of the bent portion away from the rear cover is connected to the pressing portion. The end of the pressing portion away from the bent portion abuts against the slot. The curved portion has an arc-shaped cross-section, and the pressing portion is vertically positioned at the bottom surface of the slot. The bent portion pushes the pressing portion, and the pressing portion presses against the bottom surface of the slot. This utility model connects the front cover and the rear cover using a buckle and a slot. The buckle is divided into a bending part and a pressing part. The arc-shaped bending part presses the pressing part into the slot. The bending part is elastic and can provide damping in a vibration environment, reducing the loosening of the connection between the front cover and the rear cover caused by vibration, and keeping the front cover and the rear cover tightly connected. The pressing part is vertical to the bottom surface of the slot and has an anti-disassembly function, preventing non-professionals from disassembling it at will and damaging the internal structure and connection of the motor.

[0006] Furthermore, in the brushed motor described above, the rotor includes a shaft and an iron core. The two ends of the shaft are movably connected to a front cover and a rear cover, respectively. The iron core is connected to the outside of the shaft and has windings wound around it. A commutator is located at the end of the shaft near the front cover, and the commutator is coaxially connected to the shaft. The commutator is electrically connected to the windings. When energized, the rotor rotates relative to the stator. This design is simple, has few parts, reduces the failure rate, and facilitates assembly and maintenance.

[0007] Furthermore, in the brushed motor described above, the iron core is composed of multiple stacked chips. An insulating coating is applied between the chips to reduce eddy current losses and improve motor efficiency.

[0008] Furthermore, in the aforementioned brushed motor, the front cover is connected to a terminal block, and carbon brushes are installed inside the front cover. The terminal block is electrically connected to the commutator through the carbon brushes. The motor receives current through the terminal block, providing a standardized connection method that facilitates wiring and enclosure, and improves the convenience of installation and maintenance.

[0009] Furthermore, in the aforementioned brushed motor, the wiring terminals are Z-shaped. The front cover has a connection hole, one end of the wiring terminal is inserted into the fastener and connected to the connection hole, and the middle section of the wiring terminal is snapped into the through groove provided in the front cover. The Z-shaped wiring terminals make the wiring terminal connection more secure, less prone to movement or shaking due to external forces, and enhance the stability of the connection.

[0010] Furthermore, in the aforementioned brushed motor, a carbon brush groove is provided on the side of the front end cover near the rear end cover. The carbon brush is placed within the carbon brush groove, which includes S-shaped sidewalls arranged opposite each other. The middle sections of the two S-shaped sidewalls are located on both sides of the rotor. The carbon brush groove formed by the two S-shaped sidewalls is smaller at both ends and larger in the middle, and the S-shaped sidewalls provide support for the carbon brush. Placing the carbon brush within the carbon brush groove clearly defines the installation position of the carbon brush, limits its movement, reduces the risk of the carbon brush falling out due to vibration, and improves the stability of the equipment.

[0011] Furthermore, in the brushed motor described above, the carbon brush is connected to a spring. The spring is positioned along the S-shaped sidewall, pressing the carbon brush against the commutator to bring them into contact. The placement of the spring along the S-shaped sidewall ensures normal operation of the carbon brush. Simultaneously, the contact between the S-shaped sidewall and the spring maintains stable contact between the carbon brush and the commutator, allowing the pressure from the spring to be more evenly distributed across the contact surface between the carbon brush and the commutator, thus preventing localized wear caused by uneven pressure.

[0012] Furthermore, in the brushed motor described above, a first bearing is located at the center of the front end cover, and a second bearing is located at the center of the rear end cover. The rotor is connected to the first bearing and the second bearing at both ends, respectively. The first bearing and the second bearing can reduce the rotor's rotational resistance and improve the motor efficiency.

[0013] Furthermore, in the brushed motor described above, to prevent leakage and short circuits, the rear end cover is made of a non-conductive material. Non-conductive materials are easy to process and shape, which can reduce weight and cost.

[0014] As can be seen from the above technical solution, this utility model has the following beneficial effects: The brushed motor of this utility model has a simple structure, few parts, low failure rate, and is easy to assemble and maintain. The front and rear covers are connected by snaps and slots. The bent part provides damping in a vibration environment, reducing damage caused by vibration and maintaining a tight connection between the front and rear covers. Furthermore, the pressing part is vertically positioned at the bottom of the slot, providing anti-disassembly functionality and preventing unauthorized disassembly that could damage the internal structure and connections of the motor. The Z-shaped wiring terminals make the connection more secure, less prone to movement or shaking due to external forces, and enhance connection stability. The carbon brushes are placed in the brush slots, clearly defining their installation position and limiting their movement, reducing the risk of brushes coming off due to vibration and improving equipment stability. The carbon brush is connected to a spring, which is set along the S-shaped sidewall to ensure the normal operation of the carbon brush. At the same time, the S-shaped sidewall and the spring contact each other, so that the carbon brush and the commutator maintain stable contact. This makes the pressure of the spring on the carbon brush more evenly distributed on the contact surface of the carbon brush and the commutator, avoiding local wear caused by uneven pressure.
