Furthermore, the noise generated after prolonged operation is also relatively high. For working environments requiring low noise and high insulation (such as industrial automation equipment, precision instruments, and household appliances), existing designs are insufficient to meet the requirements.

[0039] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. These drawings are simplified schematic diagrams, illustrating only the basic structure of the present invention, and therefore only show the components relevant to the present invention.

[0040] In the description of this utility model, it should be understood that the terms "center," "longitudinal," "transverse," "length," "width," "thickness," "upper," "lower," "front," "rear," "left," "right," "vertical," "horizontal," "top," "bottom," "inner," "outer," "clockwise," "counterclockwise," "axial," "radial," and "circumferential," etc., indicating the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings, are only for the convenience of describing this utility model and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore should not be construed as a limitation of this utility model. Furthermore, features defined with "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of that feature. In the description of this utility model, unless otherwise stated, "a plurality of" means two or more.

[0041] In the description of this utility model, it should be noted that, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," and "joining" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; and they can refer to the internal connection of two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model based on the specific circumstances.

[0042] Example 1, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, an insulated motor includes a gearbox and a motor 1 mounted on the gearbox.

[0043] Specifically, the gearbox is made of insulating material, and the gearbox is connected to the motor 1 to form a first insulating structure. Preferably, the gearbox includes a housing 2 and a cover 3, both of which are made of insulating material. The cover 3, the housing 2, and the motor 1 are connected by screws 7, thereby forming the first insulating structure.

[0044] Specifically, housing 2 and cover 3 are made of plastic, preferably PBT G30, which has good insulation and sound insulation properties. Because housing 2 and cover 3 are made of highly insulating material, direct contact between the metal casing of motor 1 and the metal parts of gearbox can be avoided, preventing leakage of current from housing 2 and cover 3 and cutting off the external flow of current.

[0045] Specifically, the gearbox contains a gear set 4, which includes an input gear 41 connected to the output terminal 13 of the motor 1. The input gear 41 is made of insulating material, and its connection to the output terminal 13 of the motor 1 forms a second insulating structure. Preferably, the input gear 41 is made of nylon PA66, which has the advantages of high insulation and low vibration and noise during gear meshing. This prevents current from being transmitted from the output terminal 13 of the motor 1 to the input gear 41, thus cutting off the internal current flow.

[0046] In Example 2, based on Example 1, the housing 2 has a central mounting hole 21 and a side mounting hole 22. The upper end face of the motor 1 has a central boss 11 and a side boss 12. The motor 1 is assembled with the housing 2 such that the central boss 11 is inserted into the central mounting hole 21 and the side boss 12 is inserted into the side mounting hole 22. The housing 2 has a cylindrical shape. By assembling the above-mentioned components accordingly, the central boss 11 and the central mounting hole 21, as well as the side mounting hole 22 and the side boss 12, achieve circumferential positioning. After the motor 1 and the housing 2 are aligned and assembled, the side boss 12 will protrude from the side mounting hole 22. The screw 7 passes through the cover 3, the fixing plate 5, and the housing 2 in sequence and is screwed into the threaded hole of the side boss 12, thereby connecting the above-mentioned components into a whole.

[0047] In Example 3, based on Example 1, the input gear 41 has a single flat mounting part 411, which is fixedly connected to the output end 13 of the motor 1, thereby forming a second insulation structure. This connection method reduces the risk of gear slippage and further improves power transmission efficiency.

[0048] In Example 4, based on Example 3, the gear set 4 further includes an output gear 42, which is made of insulating material. The gear set 4 also includes an intermediate gear 43. The input gear 41, intermediate gear 43, and output gear 42 mesh sequentially. The intermediate gear 43 is also made of insulating material. The input gear 41 is riveted to the output end 13 of the motor 1 by external force and meshes with the intermediate gear 43. Both the intermediate gear 43 and the output gear 42 can be made of PA material, within the condition of meeting the overall transmission strength requirements, which can further improve the insulation of the entire machine and provide good high-voltage resistance.

[0049] Specifically, input gear 41 is the first gear, intermediate gear 43 is the second, third and fourth gears, and output gear 42 is the fifth gear.

[0050] In Example 5, based on Example 4, a fixing plate 5 is provided between the housing 2 and the cover 3. The output gear 42 and the output shaft assembly 6 are mounted on the upper end face of the fixing plate 5, and the intermediate gear 43 is mounted on the lower end face of the fixing plate 5. The fixing plate 5 and the housing 2 are connected by a circumferential limiting structure. The circumferential limiting structure includes housing grooves 23 on the left and right sides of the end face of the housing 2, positioning pins 24 inside the housing grooves 23, and housing protrusions 25 at the bottom of the end face of the housing 2. The fixing plate protrusions 51 on both sides of the fixing plate 5 engage with the housing grooves 23, the positioning holes 52 on the fixing plate 5 engage with the positioning pins 24, and the fixing plate grooves 53 of the fixing plate 5 engage with the housing protrusions 25. When the fixing plate 5 and the housing 2 are assembled, the fixing plate 5 is engaged with the protrusion 51 of the fixing plate through the groove of the housing, and the fixing plate 53 is engaged with the protrusion 25 of the housing. The fixing plate 5 is circumferentially fixed from the left and right ends and the bottom end. At the same time, the positioning pin 24 and the positioning hole 52 are used for auxiliary positioning. This structure can ensure the coaxiality of the fixing plate 5 and the plane of the housing 2, reduce the vibration during the operation of the whole machine, and improve the stability of the whole machine operation. The fixing plate 5 is clamped by the housing 2 and the housing cover 3 to form the structure of housing 2-fixing plate 5-housing cover 3. Screws 7 are used to lock the three to the motor 1 to prevent the fixing plate 5 from tilting or shaking inside the gearbox. The fastening method can provide uniform pressure distribution, ensure the reliability of the fixation, and prevent the fixing plate 5 from loosening during the operation of the whole machine.

[0051] In Example 6, based on Example 1, the housing cover 3 has a nut 31 inside. The housing cover 3 and the nut 31 are integrally injection molded, and the nut 31 is connected to an external fastener. An injection molding process is used to inject the nut 31 into the housing cover 3. The injection-molded body of the housing cover 3 fully wraps around the outer ring of the nut 31, significantly improving the bonding strength between the nut 31 and the housing cover 3 (pull-out force ≥ 8 N·m). The nut 31 is tightly connected to the housing cover 3 and is not easily detached, thereby improving the stability of the motor 1's operation.

[0052] In Example 7, based on Example 6, the housing cover 3 has a bearing mounting hole 32 in the middle. A bearing 33 is interference-fitted into the bearing mounting hole 32, and an output shaft assembly 6 is connected to the inner wall of the bearing 33. The output shaft assembly 6 is connected to the output gear 42. The outer wall of the bearing 33 is interference-fitted with the bearing mounting hole 32 of the housing cover 3, and the inner wall of the bearing 33 fits with the output shaft assembly 6, providing support. This bearing 33 is an oil-impregnated bearing with its own lubricating grease, which allows for self-lubrication when it fits with the output shaft assembly 6.

[0053] The bearing 33 and the housing cover 3 are tightly connected by riveting. Since the two are assembled by interference fit, the bearing 33 is not easy to fall off even when the whole machine is running at high speed. The radial clearance of the bearing after assembly can be controlled (≤0.05mm), which can reduce the radial wobble of the output shaft assembly 6, reduce the wear of the output shaft assembly 6, reduce the noise of the whole machine, and improve the stability of the motor 1.

[0054] In summary, the insulated motor of this utility model forms two sets of insulating structures through the gearbox made of insulating material and the input gear 41, which cut off the current transmission path and ensures the insulation effect.

[0055] The above description is based on the preferred embodiments of this utility model. Through the above description, those skilled in the art can make various changes and modifications without departing from the technical concept of this utility model. The technical scope of this utility model is not limited to the contents of the specification, but must be determined by the scope of the claims.
