Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of underwater propulsion technology, and more specifically, to a shielded underwater propulsion stator. Background Technology
[0002] Underwater special propulsion motors are a type of electric propulsion device with high technical content, encompassing fluid dynamics design, motor design, and material selection. Their novel and unique structure, coupled with superior characteristics, makes them ideal for use as propulsion systems for underwater robots and torpedoes.
[0003] A search revealed a utility model patent with publication number CN220562929U, which discloses an underwater thruster with pressure compensation, including an underwater thruster body and a pressure compensation component. The pressure compensation component includes a deformation container and a cavity disposed inside the underwater thruster body. The deformation container is connected to the cavity, and both the deformation container and the cavity are filled with pressure compensation liquid. This patent provides pressure compensation, thereby balancing the pressure inside the sealed shell of the underwater thruster with that in the water, achieving stable operation in deep water. However, the above patent has the following shortcomings: the underwater thruster requires a pressure compensation component and pressure compensation liquid, which is prone to leakage; seawater entering the motor cavity can cause the motor to burn out. Therefore, we propose a shielded underwater thruster stator. Utility Model Content

Each of the two metal flanges 2 has a connecting welding hole 10 in the middle. A shielding sleeve 3 is fixedly sleeved in the two connecting welding holes 10. The middle of the shielding sleeve 3 penetrates the inner cavity of the metal outer shell 1. Multiple slots 6 are provided at both ends of the metal outer shell 1. A stator winding 4 is fixedly sleeved on the outside of the shielding sleeve 3 and located on the inside of the metal outer shell 1. Multiple sets of stator coils 5 are provided on the stator winding 4. A reinforcing support mechanism 7 is provided on the outside of the shielding sleeve 3.
[0027] In this embodiment, the connection between the welding hole 10 and the shielding sleeve 3 is achieved by welding. In addition, the metal shell 1 and the metal flange 2 are made of high-strength corrosion-resistant metal materials to prevent them from being corroded by seawater.
[0028] For details, please refer to Figures 2 to 5 The reinforcing support mechanism 7 includes two reinforcing sleeves 8 sleeved on the outside of the shielding sleeve 3. Multiple support plates 9 are fixedly connected to the outside of the two reinforcing sleeves 8 respectively. The ends of the multiple support plates 9 are movably sleeved into the inner cavity of the slot 6. The inner wall of the reinforcing sleeve 8 is in contact with the outer surface of the shielding sleeve 3. One end of the two reinforcing sleeves 8 is in contact with both ends of the stator winding 4 respectively. The other end of the two reinforcing sleeves 8 is in contact with the end faces of the two metal flanges 2 respectively.
[0029] In this embodiment, the reinforcing sleeve 8 and the support plate 9 are used to support the shielding sleeve 3, and the reinforcing sleeve 8 and the support plate 9 play a role in bearing pressure.
[0030] For details, please refer to Figure 2 The shielding sleeve 3 is made of stainless steel.
[0031] In this embodiment, the stainless steel shielding sleeve 3 can effectively prevent it from being corroded by seawater.
[0032] For details, please refer to Figure 2 The stator winding 4 and the stator coil 5 are separated by an insulating material made of mica.

[0036] In this embodiment, the stability of the support plate 9 inserted into the inner cavity of the slot 6 is ensured.
[0037] Working principle: First, stator coil 5 is fitted onto stator winding 4, and stator winding 4 is fixedly fitted onto the middle of the outer side of shielding sleeve 3. Then, stator winding 4 is fitted onto the inner side of metal shell 1, and reinforcing sleeve 8 is fitted onto the outer side of shielding sleeve 3 and at both ends of stator winding 4. The support plate 9 on the side of reinforcing sleeve 8 is inserted into the slot 6 on the inner side of metal shell 1. Then, metal flange 2 is fitted onto both ends of metal shell 1, and both ends of shielding sleeve 3 are inserted into the connection welding holes 10 on the two metal flanges 2. Finally, the contact between metal shell 1 and metal flange 2 is welded, and the shielding sleeve 3 and the connection welding holes 10 are welded. This makes the stator an integral pressure-bearing structure design, which does not require a pressure compensation device or pressure compensation liquid. The sealing ring structure is eliminated, and no additional sealing ring is required. The sealing part adopts a metal welding structure, which effectively prevents leakage.
