Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of motor technology, and in particular to an installation structure for a motor brake and encoder. Background Technology

[0002] The combination of a motor, brake, and encoder forms a closed-loop control system that provides braking and protection for the motor. This system is used to measure and control the speed, position, and angle of mechanical motion in real time, and has become a commonly used integrated unit in automated control systems. The encoder, a high-precision measuring device, converts rotary or linear motion into digital signals and is typically mounted on the motor shaft.

[0003] However, due to the frequent starting and stopping of the motor shaft, especially the intervention of the brake, the sudden start and stop action will generate an instantaneous reaction force. This force is transmitted to the encoder through the motor shaft, which makes the encoder susceptible to damage, thereby affecting its measurement accuracy and service life. Utility Model Content

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

A bearing is provided between the motor shaft and the motor end cover, and an inner bearing cover is provided on the inner surface of the motor end cover to limit one side of the bearing.

[0007] The brake is sleeved on the motor shaft and located on the outside of the motor end cover. The brake is equipped with an outer brake cover, which is installed on the outer surface of the motor end cover and limits the bearing on the other side. The outer brake cover is equipped with a lifting seat.

[0008] The encoder is mounted on a mounting base. The encoder is located outside the brake and coaxial with the motor shaft. A connecting sleeve is provided at the end of the motor shaft. A connector is provided on the measuring rod of the encoder. The connector passes through the connecting sleeve. Several radially protruding drive pins are provided on the connector. Elastic elements are sleeved on the drive pins. The connecting sleeve has notches corresponding to the drive pins. The drive pins engage with the notches to achieve linkage between the connecting sleeve and the connector.

[0009] As an alternative, the elastic element can be a rubber sleeve or several stacked O-rings.

[0010] As an alternative, the connecting sleeve is either interference-fitted or threaded to the end of the motor shaft.

[0011] As an alternative, the connector is locked to the encoder's measuring rod via a radial screw.

[0012] As an alternative, the brake cover has a first bolt that passes through the motor end cover and is threadedly connected to the bearing inner cover.

[0013] As an alternative, the lifting base and the brake cover are connected by a plug-in joint and secured with a second bolt.

[0014] As an optional solution, several annularly distributed ventilation holes are provided on the brake cover and the lifting base.

[0015] As an alternative, the encoder housing is mounted on an encoder base plate, which is fixedly connected to the mounting base.

[0016] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0017] The mounting structure of this motor brake and encoder installs the brake and encoder on the ends of the motor shaft respectively, and uses a connecting sleeve and a connector to achieve reliable fixing of the brake and flexible installation of the encoder. While ensuring that the brake and encoder function normally, have high coaxiality, and reliable connection, it also improves the protection of the encoder and extends its service life.

[0028] The encoder 4 is mounted on the mounting base 8. The encoder 4 is located outside the brake 3 and is coaxial with the motor shaft 1. The end of the motor shaft 1 is provided with a connecting sleeve 9. The measuring rod of the encoder 4 is provided with a connector 10. The connector 10 passes through the connecting sleeve 9.

[0029] Thus, by installing the brake 3 and encoder 4 on the shaft end of the motor shaft 1 respectively, and cooperating with the connector 10 through the connecting sleeve 9, the brake 3 is reliably fixed and the encoder 4 is flexibly installed. While ensuring that the brake 3 and encoder 4 function normally, have high coaxiality, and reliable connection, the protection of the encoder 4 is improved and the service life of the encoder 4 is extended.

[0030] Optionally, the elastic element 12 is a rubber sleeve or several stacked O-rings. The elastic element 12 is used to fill the gap between the notch 13 and the transmission pin 11, and to reduce the force transmitted from the motor shaft 1 during sudden start-up and shutdown, thereby reducing damage to the encoder 4.

[0031] Optionally, the connecting sleeve 9 is interference-fitted or threaded to the end of the motor shaft 1 to ensure reliable linkage between the connecting sleeve 9 and the motor shaft 1 and accurate transmission of rotation parameters.

[0034] Optionally, the lifting base 8 and the brake cover 7 are inserted into each other and fastened by the second bolt 16 to achieve a reliable connection between the lifting base 8 and the brake cover 7.

[0036] Optionally, the housing of encoder 4 is mounted on encoder base plate 18, and encoder base plate 18 is fixedly connected to the mounting base 8, reducing the installation difficulty of encoder 4.

[0037] Installation process of brake 3 and encoder 4:

[0038] 1) Fix the brake cover 7 of the brake 3 to the motor end cover 2. After the brake 3 is installed, adjust the gap.

[0039] 2) The hoisting base 8 is fixed to the brake cover 7;

[0040] 3) After heating, the connecting sleeve 9 is fitted onto the motor shaft 1;

[0041] 4) The encoder 4 is fixed to the encoder base plate 18, the encoder base plate 18 is fixed to the mounting base 8, and then the connector 10 is put on the measuring rod of the encoder 4 and fixed with the second bolt 16.

When the motor runs, the motor shaft 1 drives the connecting sleeve 9, the connecting sleeve 9 drives the connecting head 10, and then drives the measuring rod of the encoder 4 to rotate, and sends out an electrical signal to realize the function of the encoder 4.
