Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of marine permanent magnet motor technology, and specifically to a sealed cable outlet device for marine permanent magnet motors. Background Technology

[0002] Aiming at the national "dual-carbon" strategy and the green and low-carbon development needs of the Yangtze River shipping industry, and accelerating the implementation of the Yangtze River Shipping Group's "dual-carbon" strategy special plan and "one enterprise, one policy" approach, the primary goal is to support the improvement of the economy and safety of Yangtze River vessels with the technological advantages of new power systems. Based on the functional requirements and operating environment characteristics of Yangtze River vessels, research on integrated electric propulsion systems is being conducted to determine the optimal overall scheme for ship electric propulsion systems. Typical marine direct-drive permanent magnet motors are being developed and standardized product lines are being established. This will comprehensively enhance the overall innovation and R&D design capabilities and key equipment manufacturing capabilities of the Yangtze River Shipping Group, strengthen the company's core competitiveness, and continuously lead the high-quality development of Yangtze River shipping. Marine direct-drive permanent magnet motors will become the development direction of green power systems for inland waterway vessels in my country. This practical marine direct-drive permanent magnet motor has no reduction gearbox, directly drives the propeller, and propels 10,000-ton Yangtze River vessels, achieving optimized matching between ship, engine, and propeller. It supports energy saving, consumption reduction, and efficiency improvement for Yangtze River vessels, and has advantages such as low-speed high torque, high efficiency, high power factor, low vibration, and low noise. The marine direct-drive permanent magnet motor uses built-in permanent magnets with an excellent magnetic circuit structure and good field weakening speed regulation capability. Currently, commercial ships are powered by main propulsion diesel engines, with diesel generator sets supplying electricity to the entire ship. This presents problems such as large peak capacity, power quality stability, and safety and reliability. Marine direct-drive permanent magnet motors have replaced diesel engine propulsion motors, enabling low-speed navigation. This is more conducive to energy conservation and emission reduction, saving transportation costs and contributing to the sustainable development of shipping companies.

[0003] The shortcomings of existing technology are:

[0004] 1. The existing junction box has a poor sealing structure design, which allows water vapor and salt spray to seep in, causing internal short circuits or corrosion.

[0005] 2. The existing terminal block structure has a small wiring cavity space and insufficient cable bending radius, especially since marine cables are thicker and more difficult to bend than ordinary cables.

[0006] 3. Without a wiring seal plate, there is a risk that small objects may fall into the motor when the user connects the wires.

[0007] 4. The existing terminal block size is too small, the cable shielding layer is not effectively connected, and electromagnetic interference affects the vector control accuracy of the permanent magnet motor.

[0008] 5. The hull structure is too thin to withstand ship vibrations. Summary of the Invention

[0009] This utility model addresses the aforementioned problems by providing a sealed cable outlet device for marine permanent magnet motors. Its purpose is to enhance the strength and sealing performance of the junction box while achieving a lightweight design, effectively saving space and facilitating debugging and installation in the confined spaces of a ship. It also effectively suppresses electromagnetic interference, improves the safety performance of the motor, extends its service life, avoids safety hazards, and prevents small objects from entering the motor during wiring, thereby improving the protection level.

[0010] To solve the above problems, the technical solution provided by this utility model is as follows:

[0011] The sealed cable outlet device for marine permanent magnet motors is characterized by comprising: a stainless steel waterproof cable connector, a junction box base, a grounding device, a copper busbar, an insulator, a wiring sealing plate, and a junction box cover, wherein:

[0012] The copper busbars are connected to the horizontal bars inside the junction box using the insulators; the insulators are made of insulating material and have threads drilled at both ends; the copper busbars include U-phase, V-phase, and W-phase, with sufficient electrical spacing between adjacent copper busbars, and sufficient electrical spacing between the copper busbars and the bottom of the junction box; the wiring sealing plate is a rectangular plate with multiple through holes drilled in the middle for wire threading; the bottom of the wiring sealing plate is sealed with a gasket and fixed to the junction box with screws; the grounding device is provided on one side inside the junction box; multiple stainless steel waterproof cable connectors are provided on one side outside the junction box.

[0013] Preferably, each phase of the terminal busbar is fixed with two insulators to ensure mechanical strength.

[0014] Preferably, the spacing between adjacent copper busbars is 80mm to 120mm.

[0015] Preferably, the wiring sealing plate has a length of 400mm to 700mm, a width of 150mm to 300mm, and a thickness of 10mm to 15mm.

[0016] Preferably, the wiring sealing plate is made of an insulating board and has sealing properties.

[0017] Preferably, the number of through holes is set to 6 to 18 according to the size and quantity of the cable, divided into three groups of 2 to 6 holes each, and the spacing and diameter of the through holes in the adjacent groups are 20mm to 30mm.

[0018] Preferably, a silicone sealing gasket is provided between the junction box base and the junction box cover, and sealant is applied to the interface to fill microscopic gaps.

[0019] Compared with the prior art, this utility model has the following advantages:

[0020] 1. Due to the reasonable arrangement of the U-phase, V-phase, and W-phase of the wiring copper busbar in this utility model, space can be effectively saved, which is conducive to debugging and installation in the narrow space of the ship and effectively suppresses electromagnetic interference.

[0021] 2. Because the U, V, and W phases of this utility model have sufficient electrical spacing between each phase and each cable, it can not only improve the safety performance of the motor, but also extend the service life of the motor.

[0022] 3. Because the wiring sealing plate of this utility model makes the motor winding leads neatly and compactly arranged after passing through the frame, it avoids the damage caused by squeezing and stretching of the leads during installation to the copper busbar, thus avoiding safety hazards.

[0023] 4. Because the wiring sealing plate of this utility model seals the wire outlet hole of the base, it prevents small objects from entering the motor during wiring. Whether it is the installation of the finished motor, the wiring for testing and debugging, or the wiring used by the user, the motor can achieve a high level of protection even if the junction box cover is removed.

[0024] 5. The lightweight design of the sealed cable outlet junction box base adopts an integrated molded shell, reducing welds and avoiding stress weak points. The shell has high strength and can withstand the continuous vibration and impact of the ship. The multi-layer sealing structure between the junction box base, junction box cover and base effectively protects the motor from water vapor and salt spray. Attached Figure Description

[0030] The present invention will be further illustrated below with reference to specific embodiments. It should be understood that these embodiments are only for illustrating the present invention and are not intended to limit the scope of the present invention. After reading the present invention, any modifications of the present invention in various equivalent forms by those skilled in the art will fall within the scope defined by the appended claims.

[0031] like Figure 1 , 2 As shown, the sealed cable outlet device for a marine permanent magnet motor is characterized by comprising: a stainless steel waterproof cable connector 601, a junction box base 602, a grounding device 603, a copper busbar 604, an insulator 605, a wiring sealing plate 606, and a junction box cover 608, wherein:

[0032] The copper busbar 604 is connected to the horizontal bar 602a inside the junction box 602 by an insulator 605; the insulator 605 is made of insulating material and has threads drilled at both ends; the copper busbar 604 includes U phase, V phase, and W phase, and there is sufficient electrical clearance between adjacent copper busbars 604, and there is also sufficient electrical clearance between the copper busbar 604 and the bottom of the junction box 602; the wiring sealing plate 606 is a rectangular plate, and there are multiple through holes 606a drilled in the middle of the wiring sealing plate 606 for wire passing; the bottom of the wiring sealing plate 606 is sealed with a gasket and fixed to the junction box 602 by screws; a grounding device 603 is provided on one side inside the junction box 602; multiple stainless steel waterproof cable connectors 601 are provided on one side outside the junction box 602.

[0033] It should be noted that each phase copper busbar 604 is fixed with two insulators 605 to ensure mechanical strength. The reasonable arrangement of the U, V, and W phases of the copper busbar 604 can effectively save space, facilitate debugging and installation in the confined space of a ship, effectively suppress electromagnetic interference, and ensure sufficient electrical spacing between the three phases U, V, and W, as well as between each phase and each cable 607. This not only improves the safety performance of the motor but also extends its service life.

[0034] In this specific embodiment, the spacing between adjacent copper busbars 604 is 100mm.

[0035] It should be noted that a silicone sealing gasket is provided between the junction box base 602 and the junction box cover 608, and sealant is applied to the interface to fill the micro gaps.

[0036] It should be noted that the wiring sealing plate 606 ensures that the motor winding leads are neatly and compactly arranged after exiting the frame, preventing damage caused by compression or stretching during installation to the copper busbar 604, thus avoiding safety hazards. Furthermore, the wiring sealing plate 606 effectively prevents external debris from entering the motor stator windings during lead installation. MW-class marine permanent magnet motors have rated torques exceeding 10,000 N·m. Due to the strong magnetic force of the permanent magnet rotor, stator and rotor assembly requires a specialized assembly machine. Even so, secondary assembly during motor assembly should be avoided as much as possible. Therefore, the advantage of the wiring sealing plate 606 is that it seals the wiring outlet holes in the frame, preventing small objects from entering the motor during wiring. Whether it's finished motor installation, testing, debugging, or user wiring, the motor maintains a high level of protection even after the junction box cover is removed. Figure 3 As shown, cable 607 is sealed with adhesive after passing through wiring sealing plate 606.

[0037] In this specific embodiment, the wiring sealing plate 606 is 600mm long, 200mm wide, and 12mm thick.

[0038] It should be further noted that the wiring sealing plate 606 is made of insulating board and has sealing properties.

[0039] In this specific embodiment, there are 12 through holes 606a, divided into three groups of 4, with a spacing of 30mm between two adjacent groups of through holes 606a; the diameter of each through hole 606a is 25mm.
