[0047] The ring body 10 comprises a driving end matching surface 13 and an execution end matching surface 12, in an embodiment, at least the execution end matching surface 12 is provided with a first waterproof groove 121 arranged in a ring shape; of course, in other embodiments, the driving end matching surface 13 can also be provided with a second waterproof groove 131 arranged in a ring shape.
[0048] Due to the setting of the first waterproof groove 121, the execution end fitting surface 12 is not a complete continuous end surface, in an embodiment, the execution end fitting surface 12 on the inner ring side and the execution end fitting surface 12 on the outer ring side corresponding to the first waterproof groove 121 are at different heights; of course, in other embodiments, the execution end fitting surface 12 on the inner ring side and the execution end fitting surface 12 on the outer ring side corresponding to the first waterproof groove 121 can also be at the same height. The same as the above, due to the setting of the second waterproof groove 131, the driving end fitting surface 13 is not a complete continuous end surface, in an embodiment, the driving end fitting surface 13 on the inner ring side and the driving end fitting surface 13 on the outer ring side corresponding to the second waterproof groove 131 are at different heights; in other embodiments, the driving end fitting surface 13 on the inner ring side and the driving end fitting surface 13 on the outer ring side corresponding to the second waterproof groove 131 are at the same height.
[0049] Regarding the installation mode of the waterproof labyrinth ring 1, the utility model also discloses a driving structure, as shown in Figure 4 The driving structure comprises the waterproof labyrinth ring 1, a shell 2, a motor 3, a fixed impeller 4 and a moving impeller 5.
[0050] The motor 3 is installed in the shell 2, and the motor shaft 31 of the motor 3 extends to the outside of the shell 2; the end surface inner wall of the shell 2, through which the motor shaft 31 penetrates, is provided with a bearing 32, and the bearing 32 is assembled on the motor shaft 31. The moving impeller 5 is fixedly connected with the motor shaft 31 extending to the outside of the shell 2, and can adopt an interference fit mode; a fluid passage 61 is formed on the end surface of the wind cover 6 opposite to the moving impeller 5.
[0051] In the traditional structure, due to the assembly gap at each assembly interface, the bearing 32 is easily damaged by water invasion. Therefore, in combination with Figure 4 The outer ring of the bearing 32 abuts against the end surface of the inner wall of the shell 2, and the inner ring corresponding to the bearing 32 is recessed to form a second oil groove 21 in the inner wall of the shell 2, and the second oil groove 21 is configured as an oil cup structure to prevent water from the external environment from entering the bearing 32.
[0052] The waterproof labyrinth ring 1 is assembled to the motor shaft 31 through the mounting hole 11 and is fixedly connected with the motor shaft 31, and rotates synchronously with the motor shaft 31 in the rotating process of the motor shaft 31; the waterproof labyrinth ring 1 and the bearing 32 are separately arranged on the inner and outer sides of the end surface of the shell 2, wherein the driving end fitting surface 13 faces the motor 3 side of the driving end, and the execution end fitting surface 12 faces the moving impeller 5 side of the execution end.
