[0015] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the following provides a more detailed description of the utility model. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative and not intended to limit the scope of the utility model.

[0016] Please see Figure 1-4This utility model provides a technical solution: a waterproof DC motor, including a housing 10; the housing 10 is provided with a permanent magnet 11, and a rotor 12 is provided inside the permanent magnet 11, with the output end of the rotor 12 passing through one end of the housing 10; a mounting groove 13 is provided inside one side of the housing 10, a placement groove 20 is fixedly provided inside the mounting groove 13, a slot 21 is provided inside the placement groove 20, a plurality of slots 22 are provided in the inner ring of the slot 21, a movable ring 23 is provided inside the slot 21, a plurality of rotating shafts 24 are provided in the inner ring of the movable ring 23, a ring connecting rod 25 is rotatably connected to the rotating shafts 24, and a locking plate 28 is connected to one end of the ring connecting rod 25 through the rotating shafts 24; a mounting groove 212 is provided on the contact surface between the slot 21 and the movable ring 23, an elastic element 213 is provided inside the mounting groove 212, and a connecting block 214 is provided around the elastic element 213.

[0017] In this embodiment, a waterproof component is installed inside the placement groove 20 within the housing 10 to ensure the DC motor is waterproof. The placement groove 20 contains a moving ring 23, an annular connecting rod 25, and a locking plate 28. When the motor is not in operation, the moving ring 23 is held in a preset position by the elastic element 213. At this time, the annular connecting rod 25 is connected via a rotating shaft 24, causing the locking plate 28 to fit tightly around the motor output shaft end. The locking plate 28 is typically made of corrosion-resistant material to ensure it can effectively block water flow. When the motor starts operating, electromagnets 210 and 211 are activated, pushing the moving ring 23 to move along a specific trajectory within the placement groove 20. This movement is transmitted through the annular connecting rod 25, causing the locking plate 28 to move away from the motor output shaft end, ensuring the normal operation of the motor.

[0018] Specifically, a moving groove 26 is provided on the side of the annular connecting rod 25, and a limiting post 27 is provided inside the moving groove 26. The moving groove 26 passes through the annular connecting rod 25, and the limiting post 27 is fixed in the middle position of the second groove 22.

[0019] In this embodiment, in order to ensure that the locking plate 28 moves along a predetermined trajectory when the moving ring 23 rotates, and to ensure the accuracy of the reset, a moving groove 26 is provided on the side of the annular connecting rod 25. A limiting post 27 is provided inside the moving groove 26. The moving groove 26 passes through the annular connecting rod 25, and the limiting post 27 is fixed in the middle position of the second groove 22 to ensure the normal movement and reset of the locking plate 28.

[0020] Specifically, an electromagnet 211 is installed inside the slot 21 and is located on the side of the slot 22. An electromagnet 210 is installed on the side of the moving ring 23 and is located in the inner ring of the moving ring 23. The electromagnet 210 and the electromagnet 211 attract each other when energized.

[0021] In this embodiment, through the interaction between electromagnet 1 210 and electromagnet 211, when both are energized, they generate a magnetic force that attracts each other. This magnetic force can serve as a driving force, causing the moving ring 23 to move along a predetermined path within the slot 21. This electromagnetic drive method is not only responsive but also precisely controlled, allowing for rapid adjustment of the position of the moving ring 23 as needed. Furthermore, the ring connecting rod 25 and the locking plate 28 are used to achieve tight sealing and opening of the gap at the motor output shaft end.

[0022] Specifically, the locking plate 28 is arc-shaped, and a rubber pad 29 is provided on the side of the locking plate 28 that contacts the rotor 12.

[0023] In this embodiment, a rubber pad 29 is provided on the side of the locking plate 28 that contacts the rotor 12, which enhances the sealing performance between the locking plate 28 and the rotor 12, effectively preventing the penetration of water or other liquids. In addition, its good elasticity and buffering effect reduce the vibration and noise caused by mechanical contact. The rubber pad 29 can also absorb and disperse the heat generated by the high-speed rotation of the rotor 12 to a certain extent, which helps to maintain the temperature stability inside the motor.

[0024] Specifically, the opening edge of slot 22 is set as an arc.

[0025] In this embodiment, the arc-shaped opening edge optimizes the movement trajectory of the annular connecting rod 25 within the slot 22. Since the arc-shaped edge better matches the contour of the annular connecting rod 25, it can reduce friction and resistance during movement, making the movement of the annular connecting rod 25 smoother and more stable, improving the motor's response speed and control accuracy, reducing heat and wear caused by friction, and extending the motor's service life.

[0026] The working principle and usage process of this utility model are as follows: Before starting, the locking plate 28 is tightly attached to the motor output shaft end when the electromagnet is not activated to prevent water from entering. During operation, by activating electromagnet 1 210 and electromagnet 211, the magnetic force pushes the moving ring 23 to move, which drives the ring connecting rod 25 and the locking plate 28 away from the output shaft end, ensuring smooth operation of the motor. After the operation is completed, the electromagnet is de-energized, and the locking plate 28 is reset under the action of the elastic element 213, re-sealing the gap. The whole process is completed automatically, effectively ensuring the waterproof performance and operating efficiency of the motor.

[0027] The above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solution of this utility model, and are not intended to limit it.
