[0010] The connecting part is fixedly connected to the rear end cover and connects the outlet hole and the through hole. The gearbox is fixedly connected to the drive box and seals the wire harness between the power line outlet and the through hole between the through cavity and the drive box.

[0011] As a further improvement to the above technical solution:

[0012] One side of the cable passage cavity is an open structure, and the end face of the open structure is a plane that contacts the outer surface of the drive box. The end face is provided with a plurality of threaded holes, and fasteners for fixing the end face to the housing of the drive box are provided in the threaded holes.

[0013] The rear end cover is installed at the end of the motor housing, and a wire-passing channel for passing the wire harness is provided on the side wall of the housing. The wire-passing channel is connected to the wire outlet hole.

[0014] The number of the threading channels is four, and they are evenly distributed around the axis of the outer shell. The cross-section of the outer shell is square, and each threading channel corresponds to one side of the square.

[0015] The housing includes a main housing and a brake protection cover, which are connected by a front end cover. The main housing contains a stator and rotor system connected to the output shaft, and the brake protection cover contains an electric brake connected to the output shaft.

[0045] The specific embodiments of this utility model are described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0046] Example 1:

[0047] like Figures 1-6 As shown, the industrial door operator with a concealed wiring structure in this embodiment includes:

[0048] The motor 3 has a wire outlet hole 340 on its rear end cover 34. The end of the output shaft 33 of the motor 3 is located outside the rear end cover 34. The wire harness 32 of the motor 3 passes through the wire outlet hole 340. The wire harness 32 on one side of the rear end cover 34 is located inside the motor 3.

[0049] Drive box 1, with a power line outlet 10 provided on drive box 1;

[0050] The gearbox 2 has a transmission assembly internally connected to the output shaft 33. A wire passage cavity 22 is provided on one side of the gearbox 2, and a connecting part 23 is provided on the other side of the gearbox 2 adjacent to the wire passage cavity 22. A wire passage hole 24 is provided on the connecting part 23 to connect the wire passage cavity 22 and the outside of the wire passage cavity 22. The wire harness 32 on the other side of the rear cover 34 is sequentially passed through the wire passage hole 24, the wire passage cavity 22 and the power line outlet 10. The end of the wire harness 32 is connected to the drive box 1.

[0051] The connecting part 23 is fixedly connected to the rear cover 34 and connects the outlet hole 340 and the through hole 24. The gear box 2 is fixedly connected to the drive box 1 and encloses the wire harness 32 between the power line outlet 10 and the through hole 24 between the through cavity 22 and the drive box 1.

[0052] Specifically, the wiring harness 32 on one side of the rear cover 34 is located inside the motor 3, ensuring that the wiring harness 32 does not protrude from the outer surface of the motor 3. The internal transmission component structure of the gearbox 2 is a conventional design and not an innovation of this application, so it will not be described in detail here. Figure 2 As shown, the gearbox 2 has a rectangular cross-section, with the through-line cavity 22 and the connecting part 23 located on two adjacent sides of the rectangle.

[0053] The gearbox 2 is also equipped with a drive shaft 21 for connecting with the door's roller drive. The drive box 1 contains a drive control board, a power switch, and other electronic components. The wiring harness 32 connects the drive box 1 and the motor 3. The drive box 1 serves to drive and control the motor 3.

[0054] The outlet hole 340 of the motor 3 is set on the rear end cover 34 of the motor 3. A wire passage cavity 22 is set on the gear box 2, which is fixedly connected to the drive box 1 and the motor 3. After the rear end cover 34 is connected to the gear box 2, the wire harness 32 located outside the motor 3 passes directly through the wire passage cavity 22 and enters the drive box 1. This prevents the wire harness 32 from being exposed outside the industrial gate machine, making the equipment appearance simpler, improving the overall visual effect, increasing safety, extending service life, and reducing maintenance costs.

[0055] Example 2:

[0056] The industrial door machine with a concealed wiring structure in this embodiment further optimizes the design of the external wiring on the industrial door machine based on the first embodiment, thereby further improving the overall visual effect of the industrial door machine.

[0057] like Figure 5 , Figure 6 As shown, a braking resistor 25 is installed inside the wire passage cavity 22, and the braking resistor 25 is electrically connected to the drive box 1.

[0058] The gearbox 2 housing is made of aluminum alloy, and the gearbox 2 housing and the wire passage cavity 22 are integrally formed.

[0059] Normally, the brake resistor 25 is installed at the bottom of the drive box 1 and exposed to the external environment. At the same time, the connection wire between the brake resistor 25 and the drive box 1 is exposed, which makes the overall integrity of the industrial gantry crane poor.

[0060] The braking resistor 25 converts excess electrical energy into heat energy and releases it into the environment when the motor 3 brakes or brakes suddenly, preventing voltage overshoot and protecting the inverter, driver, or other electronic components. Specifically, in this embodiment, the braking resistor 25 is connected to the drive control board inside the drive box 1 via a connecting wire, which passes through the power line outlet 10.

[0061] In one specific implementation, when the industrial gantry crane does not have high requirements for braking speed, the power of the braking resistor 25 is relatively small, such as less than 100W. In this case, the heat generated by the braking resistor 25 is not much, and the heat dissipation through the aluminum alloy wire cavity 22 is sufficient to meet the requirements.

[0062] In another specific embodiment, the gearbox 2 is equipped with a lubricating oil cooling system. This cooling system can indirectly ensure the temperature inside the wire passage cavity 22 through the gearbox 2 housing, ensuring good heat dissipation of the brake resistor 25 and making full use of the cooling capacity of the lubricating oil cooling system.

[0063] Based on the specific working conditions of the industrial gantry crane, the brake resistor 25 is placed inside the cable passage cavity 22 between the drive box 1 and the gear box 2 to prevent the brake resistor 25 and the connecting wires from being exposed, thus meeting the heat dissipation requirements of the brake resistor 25.

[0064] like Figures 3-5 As shown, one side of the through-hole 22 is an open structure. The end face of the open structure is a plane that contacts the outer surface of the drive box 1. The end face is provided with multiple threaded holes, and fasteners for fixing the end face to the housing of the drive box 1 are provided in the threaded holes.

[0065] The connecting part 23 includes an extension block 231 that is connected to the outside of the gearbox 2. A connecting plate 232 is provided at the outer end of the extension block 231. The wire hole 24 passes through both the extension block 231 and the connecting plate 232. The connecting plate 232 is fixedly connected to the rear cover 34.

[0066] The assembly process of the industrial gantry crane with concealed wiring structure in this embodiment is as follows:

[0067] After the wiring harness 32 of the motor 3 passes through the wire hole 24, the wire cavity 22 and the power line outlet 10, it is connected to the electronic components in the drive box 1. At the same time, the rear cover 34 and the connecting plate 232 are fixedly connected, and the output shaft 33 of the motor 3 is connected to the transmission component inside the gear box 2.

[0068] The brake resistor 25 is fixedly installed in the wire passage cavity 22, and the connecting wire of the brake resistor 25 is connected to the drive control board in the drive box 1.

[0069] The open end face of the through-hole 22 is brought into contact with the outer surface of the drive box 1, and then the box body of the drive box 1 is fixedly connected using fasteners.

[0070] Example 3:

[0071] Based on the above embodiments, the concealed wiring structure of the industrial door operator in this embodiment, such as... Figures 7-9As shown, a rear end cover 34 is installed at the end of the housing 31 of the motor 3, and a wire passage 3130 for threading the wire harness 32 is provided on the side wall of the housing 31. The wire passage 3130 is connected to the wire outlet hole 340.

[0072] Furthermore, there are four wiring channels 3130, evenly distributed around the axis of the housing 31. The cross-section of the housing 31 is square, and each wiring channel 3130 corresponds to one side of the square. By providing four wiring channels 3130 on the housing 31, the wiring space on the housing 31 is arranged symmetrically, eliminating the need to confirm direction, improving assembly efficiency, reducing material usage, and saving costs. Specifically, the shape of each wiring channel 3130 is related to the number and type of cables in the wire harness 32.

[0073] Furthermore, the outer casing 31 includes a main casing 313 and a brake protection cover 311, which are connected by a front end cover 312. The main casing 313 is provided with a stator and rotor system connected to the output shaft 33, and the brake protection cover 311 is provided with an electric brake 35 connected to the output shaft 33. A wire passage 3130 is provided on the main casing 313 and passes through the side wall of the main casing 313 along the axial direction of the main casing 313. The front end cover 312 is provided with a clearance hole 3120 corresponding to the wire passage 3130.

[0074] The wiring harness 32 includes a first cable 321 connected to the stator and rotor system, and a second cable 323 connected to the electric brake 35. The clearance hole 3120 is used to allow the first cable 321 to bend and pass through the wiring channel 3130, while the clearance hole 3120 is used to pass through the second cable 323.

[0075] If there are four wire passages 3130, one clearance hole 3120 can be provided. Once the installation direction of the main housing 313 is selected, one of the wire passages 3130 can be aligned with the clearance hole 3120.

[0076] An encoder is installed inside the main housing 313. The wiring harness 32 also includes a third cable 322 connected to the encoder. The clearance hole 3120 is used to avoid the third cable 322, so that the third cable 322 is bent and passed through the wiring channel 3130.

[0077] The front cover 312 is plate-shaped, and the cross-sectional shapes of the main housing 313 and the brake protection cover 311 match the shape of the front cover 312. The output shaft 33 passes through the front cover 312 and connects to the electric brake 35. Figure 7 , Figure 8 As shown, the connection structure of the main housing 313, the front cover 312 and the brake protection cover 311 is a conventional design, which will not be described in detail in this application.

[0078] The above description is an explanation of the present utility model and not a limitation thereof. The scope of the present utility model is defined by the claims. Within the protection scope of the present utility model, any form of modification may be made.
