Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of motor technology, specifically a waterproof device for motor shafts. Background Technology
[0002] An electric motor (commonly known as a "motor") is an electromagnetic device that converts or transmits electrical energy based on the law of electromagnetic induction. Currently, the shafts of most electric motors (those with low waterproofing requirements) are typically sealed with rubber sealing rings to prevent water splashes and dust particles from entering. However, traditional rubber sealing rings are prone to aging, leading to a decrease in their water and dust resistance. Direct water splashes or dust particles can easily reduce the motor's lifespan. To avoid this, the sealing rings need to be replaced promptly. For non-professionals, replacing the sealing rings is quite troublesome and inconvenient. Utility Model Content

The inner side of the second water-blocking ring 6 is fitted with the inner side of the shaft 3 with a clearance, and the shaft 3 can rotate relative to the second water-blocking block 61. The lower part of the shaft 3 is fitted with the first water-blocking ring 5, which is fitted with the shaft hole with a clearance and can rotate relative to the shaft hole. The lower part of the first water-blocking ring 5 is provided with the first water-blocking groove 51, which is fitted with the upper part of the second water-blocking block 61 to form a Z-shaped structure, preventing water from splashing in and dust particles from entering. The lower part of the shaft 3 is fitted with the third water-blocking ring 7, which is located below the first water-blocking ring 5. The upper part of the third water-blocking ring 7 is provided with the third water-blocking groove 71, which is fitted with the lower part of the second water-blocking block 61 to form a Z-shaped structure, preventing water from splashing in and dust particles from entering.
[0025] Specifically, a protruding first water-blocking block 52 is provided below the first water-blocking ring 5. The first water-blocking block 52 is located on one side of the first water-blocking groove 51. The second water-blocking block 61 is provided with a second water-blocking groove 62. The first water-blocking block 52 and the second water-blocking groove 62 cooperate with each other. The protruding first water-blocking block 52 forms a Z-shaped structure, which can prevent water from directly entering from the joint between the second water-blocking ring 6 and the cover plate 4, further improving the performance of splash prevention and dust prevention.
[0026] Specifically, a positioning block 31 is provided on the bottom side of the rotating shaft 3. The positioning block 31 cooperates with the upper part of the first water-blocking ring 5 to facilitate positioning and assembly.
[0027] Specifically, the first water-blocking ring 5 has countersunk bolt holes on its side and threaded holes on its rotating shaft 3. The first water-blocking ring 5 is fixed to the rotating shaft 3 by bolts. The bolt fixing method is reliable and easy to disassemble.

[0031] The principle of this utility model:
[0032] The first water-blocking ring 5, the third water-blocking ring 7, and the second water-blocking ring 6 cooperate to form a labyrinth-like structure. When the rotating shaft 3 rotates, it drives the first water-blocking ring 5 and the third water-blocking ring 7 to rotate, while the second water-blocking ring 6, which is fixed on the cover plate 4, remains stationary. When the rotating shaft 3 rotates, the second water-blocking block 61 slides relative to the first water-blocking groove 51 and the third water-blocking groove 71. When installing the first water-blocking ring 5 and the third water-blocking ring 7, a heating and pressing method and a cooling and shrinking method of the rotating shaft 3 are used to assemble the first water-blocking ring 5 and the third water-blocking ring 7, so that the first water-blocking ring 5 and the third water-blocking ring 7 fit tightly with the rotating shaft 3 to achieve a sealing function. Alternatively, a waterproof adhesive can be used to achieve a seal. When fixing the second water-blocking ring 6, a waterproof sealant is applied and then bolts are used to achieve a seal, preventing water from splashing in. With the above installation method, the first water-blocking ring 5, the third water-blocking ring 7, and the second water-blocking ring 6 cooperate to form a labyrinth-like structure, which can prevent water from splashing in directly or dust particles from entering, and can adapt to most low-level waterproof motor operating environments.
[0033] The above are merely optional embodiments of this utility model and are not intended to limit the utility model. Various modifications and variations can be made to this utility model by those skilled in the art. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model.
[0034] It should also be noted that the various specific technical features described in the above specific embodiments can be combined in any suitable way without contradiction. In order to avoid unnecessary repetition, this utility model will not describe the various possible combinations separately.
