Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of motor manufacturing technology, and in particular to a motor potting device. Background Technology
[0002] The motor manufacturing process includes a coil encapsulation step. The encapsulating adhesive improves the coil's insulation performance, offering advantages such as protecting the coil, preventing damage and deformation, and increasing mechanical strength. To ensure consistency and efficiency in the encapsulation process, the industry typically uses encapsulation molds. These molds consist of multiple templates assembled to form a cavity. The coil is placed inside the cavity, and adhesive is injected to encapsulate it. After curing, the encapsulating adhesive forms. The mold templates are usually made of metal plates. Due to limitations in processing and assembly precision, the assembly surfaces of adjacent templates are difficult to fit perfectly, easily creating gaps. This can cause adhesive leakage from the cavity during encapsulation, affecting the motor's appearance and performance, polluting the production environment, and increasing processing costs.

[0029] The embodiments of this utility model are described in detail below. Examples of these embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals denote the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions throughout. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are only used to explain this utility model, and should not be construed as limiting this utility model.
[0030] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, this embodiment provides a motor potting device for encapsulating motor coils with adhesive. The device includes a housing assembly 1, which comprises multiple interconnected cover plates forming a potting cavity 11. The housing assembly 1 has at least one first potting hole 121 communicating with the potting cavity 11. The potting cavity 11 accommodates the motor coil, and adhesive is injected into it from an external potting tool through the first potting hole 121. At least one cover plate has a first sealing groove 131 abutting at least one end face of an adjacent cover plate. The first sealing groove 131 extends along the length, height, or width of the potting cavity 11, and is filled with a flexible first sealing strip to seal the gap between adjacent cover plates. Because the first sealing strip is flexible, it effectively seals the gap between adjacent cover plates, reducing the risk of adhesive leaking out of the potting cavity 11 through the gap between adjacent cover plates, and preventing the encapsulation quality of the motor potting device from being limited by processing and assembly precision. The first sealing groove 131 guides and limits the flexible first sealing strip, causing it to extend circumferentially along the injection cavity 11, preventing it from moving due to the pressure of the injection. The first sealing strip always has a good sealing effect, while preventing overflow of adhesive from polluting the surrounding production environment and reducing processing costs.
[0031] The material of the first sealing strip can be set with reference to existing technology, which is not the focus of this application, and this embodiment does not impose any limitations. Adjacent cover plates are fastened together with bolts for easy assembly and disassembly.
[0032] The system includes multiple cover plates, including a top cover plate 141 and a bottom cover plate 142 arranged opposite to each other, and a front cover plate 143, a rear cover plate 144, and two side panels 145 connected between the top cover plate 141 and the bottom cover plate 142. The top cover plate 141, bottom cover plate 142, front cover plate 143, rear cover plate 144, and two side panels 145 form a rectangular injection cavity 11 to meet the overall appearance requirements of the motor coil. Injection bosses 146 are respectively provided on the inner sides of the two side panels 145. The injection bosses 146 extend into the injection cavity 11 and are designed to fill the irregularly shaped space of the motor coil to adapt to the shape of the motor coil, improve the uniformity of the adhesive thickness on the surface of the motor coil, and improve the encapsulation accuracy.
[0033] A second sealing groove 132 is provided on the injection boss 146 and / or the side panel 145. The second sealing groove 132 is filled with a flexible second sealing strip to seal the gap between the injection boss 146 and the side panel 145. For example, Figure 2 As shown, in one embodiment, a second sealing groove 132 is provided on the side panel 145. The second sealing groove 132 extends circumferentially around the glue injection boss 146 and forms an annular groove. The second sealing strip in the second sealing groove 132 seals the gap between the glue injection boss 146 and the side panel 145 to prevent glue from leaking between the glue injection boss 146 and the side panel 145.
[0034] In one embodiment, the front cover plate 143 and the rear cover plate 144 are disposed opposite to each other. The inner end face of the front cover plate 143 is simultaneously attached to one end of the top cover plate 141, the bottom cover plate 142 and the two side panels 145. The inner end face of the rear cover plate 144 is simultaneously attached to the other end of the top cover plate 141, the bottom cover plate 142 and the two side panels 145. The front cover plate 143 is provided with four first sealing grooves 131 respectively corresponding to the front end faces of the top cover plate 141, the bottom cover plate 142 and the two side panels 145. The rear cover plate 144 is provided with four first sealing grooves 131 respectively corresponding to the rear end faces of the top cover plate 141, the bottom cover plate 142 and the two side panels 145. In this way, the gaps between the front cover plate 143 and the top cover plate 141, bottom cover plate 142 and two side panels 145 that abut against it, as well as the gaps between the rear cover plate 144 and the top cover plate 141, bottom cover plate 142 and two side panels 145 that abut against it, are all effectively sealed.
[0035] A top cover plate 141 is disposed on the upper side of the two side panels 145, and a bottom cover plate 142 is disposed on the lower side of the two side panels 145. The top cover plate 141 has two first sealing grooves 131 corresponding to the upper end faces of the two side panels 145, and the bottom cover plate 142 has two first sealing grooves 131 corresponding to the lower end faces of the two side panels 145. In this way, the gaps between the top cover plate 141 and the two side panels 145 it abuts against, and the gaps between the bottom cover plate 142 and the two side panels 145 it abuts against, are all effectively sealed.
[0036] Handles 17 are provided on the front cover plate 143 and the rear cover plate 144 respectively, so that users can hold the handles 17 from both sides to move the motor potting device. This embodiment does not limit the specific structure of the handles 17.
[0037] A through observation hole 15 is provided on the top cover plate 141, which connects to the glue injection cavity 11, allowing the operator to observe the glue injection process from above. The end of the motor coil cable can pass through the observation hole 15 to extend to the outside of the housing assembly 1, facilitating the connection of the motor coil to other structural components during subsequent processing. The observation hole 15 is a U-shaped hole formed at the edge of the top cover plate 141, which facilitates processing and prevents cable abrasion.
[0038] The housing assembly 1 also includes a fixing block 16, which is detachably mounted within the observation hole 15 and partially blocks the observation hole 15 to restrain the cable. The front cover plate 143 has mounting holes through which fasteners pass to connect the fixing block 16 and install it within the observation hole 15. The fixing block 16 can be removed when it is necessary to expand the observation area. The fixing block 16 restrains the cable, preventing it from being pulled during the glue application process and affecting the winding of the motor coil.
[0039] To facilitate control of the adhesive flow rate and injection location, the housing assembly 1 also includes an auxiliary adhesive injection hole 122. At least one first adhesive injection hole 121 is located at the bottom of the front cover plate 143 and / or the rear cover plate 144, and the auxiliary adhesive injection hole 122 is located at the top cover plate 141. For example, as... Figure 2 As shown, a first glue injection hole 121 is provided at the bottom of the rear cover plate 144 for primary glue injection, which is performed from bottom to top. An auxiliary glue injection hole 122 is provided on the top cover plate 141 for auxiliary glue injection, which is performed from top to bottom. Both the first glue injection hole 121 and the auxiliary glue injection hole 122 are provided with glue nozzles 19 of corresponding sizes to facilitate connection of external glue injection tools.
[0040] The motor potting device, after completing the glue injection, is placed in a vacuum chamber. By drawing a vacuum, tiny air bubbles in the glue are removed, improving the quality of the glue injection and resulting in a more aesthetically pleasing appearance of the potted motor coil.
[0041] The side panel 145 is detachably connected to the injection boss 146. The housing assembly 1 has multiple ejector holes 18. Ejectors pass through the ejector holes 18 to push the injection boss 146 and / or the motor coil, thereby detaching the injection boss 146 and the motor coil from the injection cavity 11. During demolding, the injection boss 146 and the motor coil need to be ejected together, and then the injection boss 146 and the motor coil are separated. During demolding, the pressing force of the ejector pushes against the injection boss 146 or the motor coil, making it relatively easy to remove the potted motor coil. In one embodiment, the inner wall of the injection cavity 11 is coated with a release agent to form a release layer, further increasing the ease of demolding.
[0042] To further improve the appearance quality of the motor coil, the inner wall of the injection cavity 11 is sandblasted, so that the cured adhesive has a glossy appearance and a better texture.
[0043] In one embodiment, the motor potting apparatus further includes a calibration plate, which is configured to be attached to the surface of the motor coil to centrally position the motor coil within the potting cavity 11. The calibration plate is formed by curing the potting adhesive. For example, when epoxy resin is used as the adhesive, the calibration plate is an epoxy sheet. The calibration plate adheres to the surface of the motor coil and abuts against the inner wall of the potting cavity 11, ensuring the motor coil is centrally positioned within the potting cavity 11 and guaranteeing consistent encapsulation thickness. Since the calibration plate is formed by curing the potting adhesive, it can integrate with the adhesive on the surface of the motor coil and will not affect the adhesive distribution. The thickness of the calibration plate is determined according to the encapsulation quality requirements, typically around 0.5 mm.
[0044] Obviously, the above embodiments of this utility model are merely examples for clearly illustrating the present utility model, and are not intended to limit the implementation of the present utility model. Those skilled in the art can make various obvious changes, readjustments, and substitutions without departing from the protection scope of this utility model. It is neither necessary nor possible to exhaustively describe all embodiments here. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, and improvements made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the protection scope of the claims of this utility model.
