Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of aluminum end caps for motors, specifically an aluminum end cap for motors that facilitates the installation of encoders. Background Technology
[0002] With increasingly stringent requirements for motor performance and a growing emphasis on ease of equipment maintenance, the development of a motor end cover that simplifies encoder installation, improves installation accuracy and stability, facilitates routine maintenance, and reduces overall costs has become an urgent need for the industry.
[0003] The patent publication number "CN220798000U" discloses "an aluminum end cover for motors that facilitates encoder installation", which includes: an end cover body and a connecting positioning mechanism. The connecting positioning mechanism is disposed on the end cover body and includes an encoder body and a through slot. The through slot is opened on the left side of the end cover body. The encoder body is disposed on the left side of the end cover body and corresponds to the position of the through slot. The right side of the input end of the encoder body passes through the through slot and extends into it. Mounting blocks are installed on the top and bottom of the encoder body. A through hole is opened on the left side of the mounting block.
[0004] In the aforementioned patent, the encoder is easily installed onto the end cover through the cooperation of mounting blocks, through holes, positioning blocks, fixed shafts, adjusting plates, limiting plates, slots, threaded rods, rotating blocks, sliding grooves, and sliders. This simplifies the installation process and avoids the need for external tools during disassembly, thus improving efficiency and flexibility. However, when the encoder needs to be replaced, numerous interconnected components must first be disassembled, making the disassembly process complex and hindering encoder replacement. Furthermore, during daily use of the motor, objects in the surrounding environment may accidentally collide with the encoder, causing its outer casing to crack and internal parts to be damaged, thereby affecting the normal operation of the encoder.
[0005] Therefore, this utility model provides a motor aluminum end cover that facilitates encoder installation, in order to solve the above-mentioned problems. Utility Model Content
[0006] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this utility model provides a motor aluminum end cover that facilitates encoder installation, thus solving the aforementioned problems.
[0007] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model is implemented through the following technical solution: a motor aluminum end cover for easy encoder installation, comprising a protective component, the protective component comprising an aluminum end cover body, an installation component disposed on the left side of the aluminum end cover body, the installation component comprising a connecting plate, a small round hole being formed at the center of the side surface of the connecting plate, a sliding notch being formed on the inner wall of the small round hole, and an outer surface of a sliding rod being slidably connected to the inner wall of the sliding notch.
[0008] Furthermore, a protective plate is fixedly connected to one end of the sliding rod, and a mounting plate is movably connected to the other end of the sliding rod via bolts.
[0009] By adopting the above technical solution, the sliding rod slides back and forth on the inner wall of the sliding notch, causing the mounting plate, mounting cylinder, and encoder body to slide back and forth simultaneously with the sliding rod. Furthermore, the bolts connect the sliding rod and the mounting plate, making it easy to remove and install the mounting plate from the sliding rod. This avoids the need for complex component disassembly during encoder maintenance or replacement, achieving the beneficial effect of making encoder disassembly and replacement more convenient.
[0010] Furthermore, an mounting cylinder is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the mounting plate, and an encoder body is movably connected to the inner wall of the mounting cylinder.
[0011] By adopting the above technical solution, the mounting cylinder provides a stable mounting position for the encoder body, ensuring its installation accuracy.
[0012] Furthermore, a large circular hole is formed at the center of the outer surface of the aluminum end cap body, and a fixing groove is formed at the center of the outer surface of the aluminum end cap body.
[0013] By adopting the above technical solution, the opening of the large circular hole facilitates the unrestricted outward movement of the sliding rod and mounting plate when replacing and maintaining the encoder.
[0014] Furthermore, a hinge rod is fixedly connected to the inner wall of one end of the fixing groove, and a limit rod is rotatably connected to the side surface of the hinge rod.
[0015] By adopting the above technical solution, the setting of the fixed groove and the hinge rod provides an installation base for the limit rod, enabling the limit rod to rotate around the hinge rod, thereby achieving further limiting and fixing of the encoder installation position.
[0016] Furthermore, the other end of the limiting rod is movably connected to the inside of the aluminum end cap body by bolts.
[0017] By adopting the above technical solution, a protective cage is formed by a sliding rod, which can protect the encoder and prevent it from being affected by factors such as collisions during operation, thereby extending the life of the encoder and achieving the beneficial effects of improving the stability and reliability of the encoder operation.
[0018] Beneficial effects
[0019] This invention provides a motor aluminum end cover for easy encoder installation. Compared with the prior art, it has the following advantages:
[0020] 1. This convenient encoder mounting aluminum end cover for motors allows the mounting plate, mounting cylinder, and encoder body to slide back and forth simultaneously via a sliding rod that slides back and forth within the sliding notch. Furthermore, the bolts connecting the sliding rod and mounting plate facilitate easy removal and installation of the mounting plate from the sliding rod. This avoids the complex disassembly required for encoder maintenance or replacement, resulting in significantly improved ease of encoder removal and replacement.
[0021] 2. The motor aluminum end cover, which facilitates encoder installation, forms a protective cage through a sliding rod. This protective cage provides protection for the encoder, preventing it from being affected by collisions or other factors during operation, thus extending the encoder's service life and achieving the beneficial effects of encoder stability and reliability.

[0029] The present application will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.
[0030] Reference Figures 1 to 4 This application provides a motor aluminum end cap for easy encoder installation, including a protective component 1. The protective component 1 includes an aluminum end cap body 105. An installation component 2 is disposed on the left side of the aluminum end cap body 105. The installation component 2 includes a connecting plate 201. A small round hole 202 is formed at the center of the side surface of the connecting plate 201. A sliding notch 203 is formed on the inner wall of the small round hole 202. The outer surface of a sliding rod 204 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the sliding notch 203. One end of the sliding rod 204 is fixedly connected to the protective plate 205, and the other end of the sliding rod 204 is movably connected to the installation plate 206 by bolts.
[0031] In this embodiment, the sliding rod 204 can slide within the trajectory defined by the small round hole 202 and the sliding notch 203, and the protective plate 205 fixed at one end moves accordingly. When installing the encoder, the sliding rod 204 drives the protective plate 205 to move away. After the protective plate 205 is exposed on the outside of the device, the bolts are unscrewed to remove the protective plate 205. Then, the encoder body 208 is installed on the inner wall of the mounting cylinder 207. After installation, the protective plate 205 is pushed back to a suitable position. Then, one end of the limiting rod 103 is rotated to the inner wall of the fixing groove 102 and the bolts are tightened to fix the protective plate 205 and the sliding rod 204.
[0032] Reference Figures 1 to 4 In one aspect of this embodiment, an mounting cylinder 207 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the mounting plate 206, and an encoder body 208 is movably connected to the inner wall of the mounting cylinder 207.
[0033] In this embodiment, the mounting cylinder 207 fixed to the inner wall of the mounting plate 206 provides a dedicated mounting space for the encoder body 208. The encoder body 208 is movably connected to the inner wall of the mounting cylinder 207, which facilitates installation and ensures stable measurement of motor parameters.
[0034] Reference Figures 1 to 4 In one aspect of this embodiment, a large circular hole 101 is provided at the center of the outer surface of the aluminum end cap body 105, and a fixing groove 102 is provided at the center of the outer surface of the aluminum end cap body 105.
[0035] In this embodiment, when it is necessary to perform relevant operations on the encoder, the sliding rod 204 can drive the mounting plate 206 to move outward through the large circular hole 101 without being obstructed by the aluminum end cap body 105.
[0036] Reference Figures 1 to 4 In one aspect of this embodiment, a hinge rod 104 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of one end of the fixing groove 102, and a limit rod 103 is rotatably connected to the side surface of the hinge rod 104.
[0037] In this embodiment, the hinge rod 104 fixed to the inner wall of one end of the fixing groove 102 serves as the rotation axis of the limiting rod 103. One side surface of the limiting rod 103 is rotatably connected to the hinge rod 104, allowing it to rotate around the hinge rod 104.
[0038] Reference Figures 1 to 4 In one aspect of this embodiment, the other end of the limiting rod 103 is movably connected to the interior of the aluminum end cap body 105 by bolts.
[0039] Furthermore, any content not described in detail in this specification is existing technology known to those skilled in the art.
[0040] Working principle: The other end of the limit rod 103 is connected to the inside of the aluminum end cover body 105 by bolts. When the bolts are tightened, the limit rod 103 is fixed, restricting the encoder displacement; when the encoder needs to be disassembled or installed, the bolts are loosened, and the limit rod 103 rotates around the hinge rod 104 to open, releasing the restriction for easy operation.
