Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of automotive motor technology, specifically to a gasket protection structure and its motor housing. Background Technology

[0002] In the field of motor manufacturing, the motor shaft will experience axial movement during operation. Therefore, a corrugated shim is usually installed between the bearing at the end of the motor shaft and the motor housing to buffer this reciprocating impact force. When the motor shaft moves axially, it will cause the bearing to compress the corrugated shim. If this compression repeatedly reaches or exceeds the bearing limit of the corrugated shim, it will lead to a decrease in the performance of the corrugated shim or even damage, thereby affecting the stability and service life of the motor. Utility Model Content

[0003] The purpose of this invention is to provide a gasket protection structure and its motor housing to improve the problem of performance degradation or damage caused by interference fit of the wave gasket.

[0041] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0042] Example 1:

[0043] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, this utility model provides a gasket protection structure, including an end cap 1 with a bearing hole 11. In this embodiment, the bearing hole 11 of the end cap 1 has an inner liner 12, which is integrally cast with the end cap 1. The end cap 1 is made of aluminum, and the inner liner 12 is made of steel, which reduces the weight of the end cap 1 while improving the durability of the bearing hole 11. The motor shaft passes through the bearing 2, which is installed in the bearing hole 11. A wave-shaped gasket 3 is disposed at the inner end of the bearing 2 to provide cushioning. When the motor shaft is working, it will move axially upwards, and the magnitude of the movement is uncontrollable. This may cause the bearing 2 to compress the wave-shaped gasket 3 to its limit position, greatly accelerating the fatigue damage of the wave-shaped gasket 3.

[0044] Combined Figure 4 As shown, in this embodiment, a positioning ring 4 is installed at the bottom of the bearing hole 11, and a wave-shaped washer 3 is positioned between the positioning ring 4 and the inner end of the bearing 2. The positioning ring 4 has an annular stepped structure with a lower outer ring and a higher inner ring. Multiple grooves 41 evenly distributed around its own axis are formed on the end face of the outer ring of the positioning ring 4. The positioning ring 4 is fitted onto the inner ring of the positioning ring 4 and abuts against the end face of the outer ring of the positioning ring 4. The troughs of the wave-shaped washer 3 fit into the grooves 41. The inner ring of the positioning ring 4 is lower than the crests of the wave-shaped washer 3.

[0045] When in use, the bearing 2 is installed into the bearing hole 11. The bearing 2 will pre-compress the wave shim 3 inward. At this time, the bearing 2 is still a certain distance away from the inner ring of the positioning ring 4. The wave shim 3 provides elasticity to the bearing 2 at this distance. When the bearing 2 compresses the wave shim 3 inward to reach this distance, the bearing 2 will press against the inner ring of the positioning ring 4 to prevent the wave shim 3 from reaching the compression limit and improve the service life of the wave shim 3.

[0046] In this embodiment, the wave-shaped gasket 3 has an annular closed or open structure. The inner diameter of the wave-shaped gasket 3 is larger than the inner diameter of the outer ring of the positioning ring 4, and the outer diameter of the wave-shaped gasket 3 is smaller than the outer diameter of the outer ring of the positioning ring 4. When the bearing 2 compresses the wave-shaped gasket 3 inward to a certain distance, the inner ring of the bearing 2 abuts against the inner ring of the positioning ring 4, and the outer ring of the bearing 2 and the inner ring of the positioning ring 4 are completely interlocked and do not contact each other.

[0047] In this embodiment, the outer side of the inner ring of the positioning ring 4 has a positioning boss 42, the height of which is higher than the trough of the corrugated gasket 3. In actual use, after the corrugated gasket 3 is installed on the positioning ring 4, the positioning boss 42 can be punched with iron nails to form a protruding point; the protruding point is located above the trough of the corrugated gasket 3, thereby restricting the corrugated gasket 3 from detaching from the positioning ring 4, facilitating the smooth installation of the positioning ring 4 and the corrugated gasket 3 into the bearing hole 11.

[0048] Example 2:

[0049] Based on the above embodiment one, combined with Figure 5 As shown, the difference between this second embodiment and the first embodiment is:

[0050] The positioning ring 4 adopts an annular stepped structure with a higher outer ring and a lower inner ring. A groove 41 is opened on the end face of the inner ring, and a positioning boss 42 is provided on the inner side of the outer ring. In use, the wave-shaped gasket 3 is fitted into the outer ring of the positioning ring 4, and the trough of the wave-shaped gasket 3 fits into the groove 41. When the bearing 2 compresses the wave-shaped gasket 3 inward to a certain distance, the bearing 2 abuts against the outer ring of the positioning ring 4, limiting the bearing 2 and preventing the wave-shaped gasket 3 from reaching its compression limit, thereby improving the service life of the wave-shaped gasket 3.

[0051] Example 3:

[0052] Based on the above embodiment one, combined with Figure 6 As shown, the difference between this embodiment three and embodiment one is:

[0053] The positioning ring 4 does not adopt an annular stepped structure, but only a single annular structure; the end face of the positioning ring 4 has evenly distributed grooves 41, and there are arc-shaped protrusions 43 between adjacent grooves 41. In use, the troughs of the wave pad 3 fit into the grooves 41, and the crests of the wave pad 3 are located above the arc-shaped protrusions 43 and are at a certain distance from the arc-shaped protrusions 43. The wave pad 3 provides elasticity to the bearing 2 at this distance; when the bearing 2 compresses the wave pad 3 inward to a certain distance, the crests of the wave pad 3 abut against the arc-shaped protrusions 43, limiting the bearing 2, preventing the wave pad 3 from reaching its compression limit, and improving the service life of the wave pad 3.

[0054] Example 4:

[0055] This fourth embodiment provides a motor housing, which adopts a gasket protection structure from any of the above embodiments.

[0056] Obviously, those skilled in the art can make various modifications and variations to this utility model without departing from its spirit and scope. Therefore, if these modifications and variations fall within the scope of the claims of this utility model and their equivalents, this utility model also intends to include these modifications and variations.
