Specifically, the shell includes an upper shell 4, a lower shell 5 and an outer shell 6, the upper shell 4 and the lower shell 5 are oppositely arranged, and the outer shell 6 is sleeved on the outer periphery of the upper shell 4 and the lower shell 5. The upper shell 4 and the lower shell 5 are both provided with mounting flanges, screw holes are formed in the mounting flanges, screw holes are also formed in the two ends of the outer shell 6, and the upper shell 4 and the lower shell 5 are connected with the outer shell 6 through fastening screws 7. The upper shell 4 and the lower shell 5 are both provided with circular channels in the center, which are respectively a water outlet 41 and a water inlet 51 of the water flow channel. Lead-out wire holes 40 are formed in the end faces of the upper shell 4 and the lower shell 5, which are used for leading out the connecting wires connected with the stator 2 in the axial motor. The shell is provided with water permeation holes 61, and when working underwater, water enters the interior of the shaftless propeller through the water permeation holes 61 to lubricate the sliding bearings in the interior.
[0053] As Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 6As shown, the upper shell 4 and the lower shell 5 are provided with stator grooves 50, and a sealing sleeve 8 is tightly fitted in the stator grooves 50, and the sealing sleeve 8 is provided with a sealing groove 81 for accommodating the stator 2. Specifically, the sealing sleeve 8 is a hollow cylindrical structure, which has an inner wall 82 and an outer wall 83, and the inner wall 82 and the outer wall 83 are connected at one end and open at the other end to form the sealing groove 81, and the opening is sealed by the upper shell 4 or the lower shell 5 to form a sealing cavity.
[0054] In the embodiment, the stator 2 is a plastic-sealed stator, which has good waterproof and moisture-proof performance, can effectively prevent water and moisture from eroding the stator winding, and improves the reliability and service life of the axial motor.
[0055] As shown in the figure, Figure 7 When assembled, the plastic-sealed stator 2 is placed in the sealing groove 81 of the sealing sleeve 8, and then the combined structure is pressed into the stator groove 50 of the upper shell 4 (or the lower shell 5) to ensure that it is pressed to the bottom of the stator groove 50. At this time, the stator groove 50 just completely accommodates the combined structure, and this matching mode also plays a sealing and waterproof role.
[0056] As shown in the figure, Figure 8 The impeller 1 includes a hollow structure of a wheel frame 11, the wheel frame 11 has an inner wall layer 111 and an outer wall layer 112, the blades 10 are uniformly arranged on the inner side of the inner wall layer 111, a support beam 113 is arranged at the middle part between the inner wall layer 111 and the outer wall layer 112 to form two symmetrical mounting grooves 12, a protrusion 14 is arranged at the middle part of the outer side of the outer wall layer 112, and mounting ports are formed at both sides of the protrusion 14; the rotor 3 is tightly fitted in the mounting grooves 12, and a water-lubricated bearing assembly is mounted on the mounting ports. The blades 10 and the impeller 1 are formed in an integrated structure in a manner of tight fitting, gluing, screwing or one-piece forming.
[0057] As shown in the figure, Figure 9 The water-lubricated bearing assembly includes a ceramic bearing 15 and a graphite bearing 16, the ceramic bearing 15 is tightly fitted on the protrusion 14 of the mounting port, a notch is formed on the outer edge of the ceramic bearing 15 to form a stepped structure, and the graphite bearing 16 is arranged on the notch and loosely fitted with the ceramic bearing 15. Specifically, the graphite bearing 16 is a circular ring structure, and the inner diameter of the graphite bearing 16 is greater than the outer diameter of the notch position of the ceramic bearing 15 and less than the outer diameter of the ceramic bearing 15.
[0058] As shown in the figure, Figure 10As shown, the support beam 113 of the impeller 1 is symmetrical, and the upper and lower sides are provided with the rotor 3. The rotor 3 is installed in the installation groove 12, and the rotor 3 and the installation groove 12 form an integrated structure through tight fitting, so that the rotor 3 drives the impeller 1 to rotate when the rotor 3 rotates. When the ceramic bearing 15 is installed, the inner peripheral wall of the ceramic bearing 15 is tightly attached to the outer wall layer 112 of the impeller 1, and is tightly fitted with the impeller 1, and rotates with the impeller 1. The protrusion 14 also plays a limiting role. When the graphite bearing 16 is installed, the inner wall of the graphite bearing 16 is sleeved on the gap of the ceramic bearing 15, and the ceramic bearing 15 also has a limiting function similar to the protrusion 14. The graphite bearing 16 and the ceramic bearing 15 are loosely fitted.
[0059] As shown in Figure 11 The lower edge of the upper shell 4 is provided with a lower gap 42, and the upper edge of the lower shell 5 is provided with an upper gap 52, that is, the outer diameter of the end portion of the upper shell 4 and the lower shell 5 is smaller than that of other portions. The graphite bearing 16 is tightly fitted in the annular cavity formed by the upper gap 52 and the lower gap 42 and is limited by the outer shell 6. When the axial motor works, the graphite bearing 16 is tightly fitted with the upper shell 4 or the lower shell 5 and is fixed, the ceramic bearing 15 is tightly fitted with the rotor 3 and rotates integrally, and the ceramic bearing 15 and the graphite bearing 16 are loosely fitted in a non-contact manner. Thus, the ceramic bearing 15 and the graphite bearing 16 will slide relative to each other. This is the sliding friction between the two bearings, and water is used as lubrication to avoid dry grinding and improve the service life of the axial motor. This double-bearing structure avoids the direct friction between the rotor core and the bearing in the background art.
[0060] The installation process of the underwater small shaftless propeller of the axial motor of the embodiment is as follows:
[0061] Firstly, the rotor 3 is placed in the installation groove 12 of the impeller 1, and the rotor 3 is connected with the installation groove 12 through tight fitting or gluing. The ceramic bearing 15 is sleeved on the outer periphery of the protrusion 14 of the impeller 1 and is attached to the outer wall layer 112. The ceramic bearing 15 and the outer wall layer 112 are also connected through tight fitting, gluing or screwing. At the same time, the protrusion 14 plays an axial limiting role, and the ceramic bearing 15 is pressed to the position of the protrusion 14, which means that the installation is in place.
[0062] Secondly, the graphite bearing 16 is sleeved on the gap position of the ceramic bearing 15. The lower half of the ceramic bearing 15 has a limiting effect similar to the protrusion 14 of the impeller 1, which limits the fitting of the graphite bearing 16. The gap portion of the graphite bearing 16 and the ceramic bearing 15 is loosely fitted. When the propeller works, the rotor 3 drives the impeller 1 and the ceramic bearing 15 to rotate, and the graphite bearing 16 is fixed. There is relative movement between the ceramic bearing 15 and the graphite bearing 16, and the graphite powder and water generated by the friction between the two bearings play a lubricating role.
[0063] Then, the stator 2 is assembled into the seal sleeve 8, and the two are tightly fitted, one is to fix the plastic encapsulated stator, and the other is to separate the plastic encapsulated stator from water. When the small underwater shaftless thruster is working, water flows into the water inlet 51, passes through the channel formed by the inner wall 82, and flows through the seal sleeve 8. The inner wall 82 separates the water and the stator 2, which separates the water and the stator 2, that is, protects the stator winding, and at the same time, the water takes away the heat generated by the winding, achieving the effect of liquid cooling.
[0064] Then, the assembled structure is assembled into the shell, ensuring that the stator slot 50 of the upper shell 4 and the lower shell 5 is aligned with the plastic encapsulated stator 2, and the assembled structure is pressed to the bottom of the stator slot 50. At this time, the stator slot 50 just completely contains the assembled structure, and such cooperation also plays a sealing and waterproof role.
[0065] Finally, the upper shell 4 and the lower shell 5 are assembled on the shell 6 through the fastening screw 7. After installation, the fastening screw 7 provides axial force for the entire device, fixing each component along the axial direction. The shell 6 provides radial force for the entire device, ensuring that each component is fixed along the radial direction.
[0066] Therefore, the underwater small shaftless thruster of the axial motor of the embodiment adopts the combination of the ceramic bearing 15 and the graphite bearing 16. The ceramic bearing 15 is tightly fitted with the rotor 3 and rotates with the impeller 1, and the graphite bearing 16 is fixed. The two form a loose water-lubricated sliding friction, avoiding dry grinding of the two bearings, reducing wear and tear, and significantly improving the service life of the bearings. By introducing external water flow through the water hole 61 to lubricate the bearings, not only the friction and heat are reduced, but also the pollution and failure of traditional lubricating oil in underwater environment are avoided. The ceramic bearing 15 and the graphite bearing 16 have excellent corrosion resistance and are suitable for long-term use in seawater environment. The plastic encapsulated stator 2 has good waterproof and moisture-proof performance, which can effectively prevent water and moisture from eroding the stator winding, prolonging the service life of the motor. The tight fitting design of the seal sleeve 8 and the stator slot 50 forms a reliable sealed cavity, further preventing water from entering the motor, and ensuring the stable operation of the motor in high-pressure underwater environment. The double-bearing structure, water-lubricated structure and sealing structure not only improve the performance and service life of the entire thruster, but also reduce the operating cost and maintenance difficulty.
[0067] Example Two
[0068] The difference from example one is that the water-lubricated bearing assembly adopts a silicon carbide bearing and a graphite bearing 16. The silicon carbide bearing is tightly fitted on the protrusion 14 of the mounting port, and the outer edge of the silicon carbide bearing is provided with a notch to form a stepped structure. The graphite bearing 16 is arranged on the notch and loosely fitted with the silicon carbide bearing. The loose fitting design of the silicon carbide bearing and the graphite bearing 16 can be further optimized to reduce friction and wear.
[0069] Example Three
[0070] The difference from the second embodiment is that the inner ring wall of the graphite bearing 16 is provided with lubricating grooves or micro-hole structures to improve the lubricating effect.
[0071] Fourth embodiment
[0072] The difference from the first embodiment is that an anti-bioadhesion coating is coated on the surface of the shell to prevent marine organisms from adhering, thereby reducing the maintenance frequency and the running resistance.
