Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of motor technology, specifically to a motor structure that does not require a retaining spring. Background Technology

[0002] In the field of motor design and manufacturing, the motor shaft, as a crucial component, undertakes the critical tasks of transmitting torque and supporting rotating parts. The structural design of the motor shaft directly affects the overall performance, service life, and installation stability of the motor. However, in existing motor structures, the motor shaft commonly adopts a smooth shaft design, meaning its outer circumferential surface is smooth and featureless. While this design simplifies the shaft's manufacturing process, it has revealed numerous problems in practical applications, adversely affecting the overall performance and service life of the motor.

[0003] Firstly, from the perspective of component installation stability, when mounting rotating components (such as fans, gears, etc.) on a bare shaft motor, the lack of necessary limiting structures makes the components prone to axial and radial slippage on the motor shaft. This slippage not only leads to inaccurate component installation positions but also generates additional vibration and noise during motor operation, and may even cause friction and wear between components, thereby shortening the motor's service life.

[0004] Specifically, in the axial direction, since the smooth motor shaft does not provide any limiting structure, the axial position of the components on the motor shaft is difficult to fix. When the motor starts, stops, or the load changes, the components may slide axially on the motor shaft due to inertia or external forces. This sliding not only causes changes in the fit clearance between components, affecting the transmission efficiency of the motor, but may also cause the components to collide with the motor shaft or other fixed structures, resulting in damage.

[0005] In the radial direction, the smooth motor shaft also lacks the necessary limiting structure to prevent radial movement of components. During motor operation, due to centrifugal force and other external forces acting on the rotating components, the components may experience radial slippage or offset on the motor shaft. This radial slippage or offset not only causes changes in the relative positions between components, affecting the motor's balance and stability, but may also cause friction and wear between the components and the inner wall of the motor shaft or motor housing, generating heat and noise, and even leading to motor failure.

[0006] Furthermore, a significant problem exists in the installation of the bare rod motor shaft during component assembly: the difficulty of installing and disassembling the component. Due to the lack of a limiting structure, the installation and disassembly of the component on the motor shaft often requires specialized tools or equipment, which not only increases the complexity and time cost of the operation but may also cause damage to the component and the motor shaft.

[0007] To address the aforementioned issues and improve the installation stability of components on the motor shaft, researchers have been exploring new motor shaft structural designs. One traditional solution is to use fasteners such as snap rings to secure the components to the motor shaft. However, while this method improves installation stability to some extent, it also has some drawbacks. For example, installing and removing snap rings requires additional steps and tools, increasing operational complexity and time costs; furthermore, snap rings are susceptible to loosening or detachment due to vibration and impact during use, thus affecting the installation stability of the components. Utility Model Content

[0008] The purpose of this invention is to provide a motor structure that does not require a retaining ring, thereby solving the technical problem of inaccurate component installation position caused by the motor shaft of a bare rod structure.

[0009] The objective of this utility model can be achieved through the following technical solutions:

[0010] A motor structure that does not require retaining rings includes a motor housing and a motor shaft. A rear cover is fixedly mounted on one side of the motor housing, and a front cover is fixedly mounted on the other side of the motor housing. The motor shaft passes through the motor housing and the front cover and is rotatably mounted on the rear and front covers. A shaft connecting rod, fixedly connected to a drive component, is provided at one end of the motor shaft near the front cover. Several limiting mechanisms are fixedly provided on the outer periphery of the motor shaft inside the motor housing. A motor rotor is fixedly mounted on the outer periphery of the motor shaft inside the motor housing. A motor stator, which mates with the motor rotor, is fixedly mounted on the inner wall of the motor housing.

[0011] Preferably, the limiting mechanism consists of limiting protrusions arranged in a ring array on the outer periphery of the inner side of the motor housing along the motor shaft.

[0012] Preferably, the limiting protrusion is a triangular protrusion structure.

[0013] Preferably, the limiting protrusion is a rectangular protrusion structure.

[0014] Preferably, limit end plates are provided on both sides of the motor rotor, and end plate sleeves are fixedly provided on the limit end plates, and the end plate sleeves are sleeved on the outer periphery of the motor shaft.

[0015] Preferably, the end of the motor shaft near the motor rear cover is rotatably connected to the motor rear cover via a rear cover bearing, and a bearing bushing for protecting the rear cover bearing is provided between the motor rear cover and the rear cover bearing.

[0016] Preferably, the side of the motor shaft closest to the front cover of the motor is rotatably connected to the front cover of the motor via a front cover bearing.

[0017] Preferably, a bearing retainer ring is fixedly provided on the side of the front cover bearing away from the motor housing, and the bearing retainer ring is fixedly installed on the front cover of the motor by a plurality of self-tapping screws.

[0018] Preferably, a commutator is fixedly installed on the outer periphery of the motor shaft near the rear cover of the motor.

[0019] Preferably, the motor rotor, end plate sleeve, and commutator inner side are all provided with limiting grooves that cooperate with the limiting protrusions.

[0020] The beneficial effects of this invention are as follows: By improving the motor shaft and adding a limiting protrusion to its outer circumference, axial and radial positioning of the component is achieved. The design of the limiting protrusion fully considers the installation stability and ease of disassembly of the component on the motor shaft. In the axial direction, the limiting protrusion prevents the component from sliding axially on the motor shaft, ensuring the accurate position of the component on the motor shaft; in the radial direction, the limiting protrusion restricts the radial movement range of the component on the motor shaft, preventing the component from shifting or vibrating during motor operation. Furthermore, since the limiting protrusion is directly integrated into the motor shaft, the installation and disassembly of the component can be achieved without additional fasteners or tools, thereby simplifying the operation process and reducing costs.
