Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of motor technology, and in particular to a motor end cover with thermal protection function. Background Technology

[0002] During the operation of a motor with brushes and a commutator, the rotation of the commutator relative to the carbon brushes generates electrical sparks and radio frequency (RF) interference signals. These RF interference signals can interfere with circuits connected to the power supply or other unshielded circuits near the motor. Chokes or capacitors are typically installed on the motor to filter out this RF interference signal. Currently, some motor end covers have capacitors at both the front and rear ends, resulting in longer wiring distances between them and potentially complicating the wiring arrangement within the end cover. Summary of the Invention

[0003] This application provides a motor end cover with thermal protection function. Through the ingenious arrangement of the first conductive sheet, the second conductive sheet and the third conductive sheet, the space inside the cavity is effectively utilized, the space occupied by the conductive sheets is minimized, and the overall structure of the motor end cover is more compact.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a motor end cover with thermal protection function, comprising:

[0005] End cap body, the end cap body is provided with a cavity;

[0006] The conductive component is disposed within the cavity. The conductive component includes a first capacitor and a second capacitor respectively disposed at the front and rear ends of the cavity; a first conductive sheet electrically connecting one side of the first and second capacitors; a second conductive sheet electrically connecting the other side of the first and second capacitors; a thermistor; and a third conductive sheet. The first conductive sheet includes a first electrical connection portion vertically disposed at the front and rear ends corresponding to the first and second capacitors, and a first connecting portion inclinedly disposed on the side wall away from the end cap body. The first electrical connection portion at the front end and the first connecting portion are transitioned by a stepped first step transition portion. The first electrical connection portion located at the end is connected to the first connection portion through a first horizontal transition portion formed by bending the first electrical connection portion in a horizontal direction. The second conductive sheet includes a second electrical connection portion vertically located at the beginning end, a third electrical connection portion inclinedly located on the side wall away from the end cap body, and a second stepped transition portion that connects the second electrical connection portion and the third electrical connection portion in a stepped manner. The third conductive sheet includes a fourth electrical connection portion vertically located at the end end, a fifth electrical connection portion inclinedly located on the side wall away from the end cap body, and a second horizontal transition portion that connects the fourth electrical connection portion and the fifth electrical connection portion in a horizontal manner.

[0007] Compared with the prior art, the advantages of this utility model are:

[0008] The design of the conductive sheet fully considers the limited space inside the motor end cover. Through the ingenious arrangement of the first, second, and third conductive sheets, every inch of space inside the cavity is effectively utilized.

[0009] The stepped design of the first and second step transition sections, as well as the horizontal connection between the first and second horizontal transition sections, not only ensures a stable connection between the conductive sheets, but also minimizes the space occupied by the conductive sheets, making the overall structure of the motor end cover more compact.

[0010] This arrangement of conductive sheets not only simplifies wiring but also reduces manufacturing and assembly difficulties. The conductive sheets have a rational structural design, are easy to process and install, and improve production efficiency.

[0011] As an improvement, the first stepped transition section includes a first transition section formed by bending the first electrical connection section towards the side wall of the end cover body in a horizontal direction, a second transition section formed by bending the first transition section in a vertical direction, and a third transition section formed by bending the second transition section in a horizontal direction. The end of the third transition section is connected to the first connection section. The first stepped transition section with multiple bends can be flexibly adjusted according to actual space requirements to adapt to different installation environments and size requirements.

[0012] As an improvement, the second stepped transition section includes a fourth transition section formed by bending the second electrical connection section horizontally toward the side wall of the end cap body, a fifth transition section formed by bending the fourth transition section vertically, and a sixth transition section formed by bending the fifth transition section horizontally. The end of the sixth transition section is connected to the third electrical connection section. The design of the second stepped transition section with multiple bends helps to save space, making the entire structure more compact and efficient. The multiple bends of the transition section provide more installation and fixing points, making the installation process of the second conductive sheet more convenient.

[0013] As an improvement, one side of the cavity has a first conductive plate mounting groove adapted to the shape of the first conductive plate. The other side of the cavity has second and third conductive plate mounting grooves adapted to the shapes of the second and third conductive plates, respectively. The front and rear ends of the cavity have first and second capacitor mounting grooves, respectively, corresponding to the first and second capacitors. The other side of the cavity has a resistor mounting groove inclinedly positioned corresponding to the thermistor. The first capacitor mounting groove, first conductive plate mounting groove, second capacitor mounting groove, third conductive plate mounting groove, resistor mounting groove, and second conductive plate mounting groove are sequentially connected. This mounting groove design helps ensure a more reliable electrical connection between the conductive plates and components. The sequential connection of the mounting grooves makes the circuit path clearer and simpler.

[0014] As an improvement, the two sides of the end cap body are set in an arc shape, and the resistor mounting slot is inclined in a direction parallel to the tangent of the arc. By setting the resistor mounting slot in an arc and making it parallel to the tangent of the arc, space can be further saved and space utilization can be improved.

[0015] As an improvement, a bearing seat is provided at the center of the cavity, and a brush seat extending to the side of the first conductive plate and the third conductive plate is provided on one side. The brush seats are symmetrically arranged, and brushes are installed on the brush seats. The symmetrical arrangement of the brush seats ensures the balance of the brushes when subjected to force, reducing vibration and noise caused by uneven force.

[0016] As an improvement, the brush holder includes a fixed section that is fixedly connected to the first electrical connection part and the fourth electrical connection part, and a mounting section extending from the fixed section to the side near the bearing housing. The brush is mounted at the end of the mounting section. The brush holder is firmly connected to the first electrical connection part and the fourth electrical connection part through the fixed section, ensuring the stability of the brush holder during motor operation.

[0017] As an improvement, the first electrical connection part and the fourth electrical connection part are provided with several connecting protrusions, and the fixed section is provided with mounting holes corresponding to the connecting protrusions. The matching design of the connecting protrusions and the mounting holes makes the connection between the first electrical connection part, the fourth electrical connection part and the fixed section more stable. This design can effectively prevent the connection from loosening or falling off due to vibration or external force during motor operation. Attached Figure Description
