Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of motor technology, specifically to a compact grinding head motor. Background Technology

[0002] A grinding head motor is a specialized electric motor used to drive grinding tools (such as grinding wheels and grinding heads). It is widely used in machining, precision manufacturing, mold repair, and other fields. A grinding head motor is a high-speed rotating motor that connects directly to the grinding tool or via a transmission mechanism, providing stable speed and torque to achieve material removal, polishing, or precision machining.

[0003] Existing grinding head motors suffer from some or all of the following shortcomings: 1. Structural design flaws leading to low space utilization: Traditional motors are designed using conventional theories, resulting in redundant height and width dimensions. When multiple units are placed side-by-side, they occupy a large lateral space, and the length of the equipment cannot be compressed, leading to a bulky, rigid, and costly machine. There is a lack of compact structure and optimized heat dissipation, and the motor width is not specifically designed for high-density installation scenarios. 2. Failures in heat dissipation and waterproofing design: The straight-cylinder squeegee has defects: insufficient centrifugal force results in low cooling water ejection efficiency, making it easy for water to enter the interior; after the water flow breaks through the frame oil seal, the rubber hardens and fails, causing water ingress, impurity deposition, jamming, and burn-out failures. Summary of the Invention

The inner wall of the sprue cover mating with the front cover has a gradually expanding flared opening to improve the efficiency of liquid centrifugal sludge removal. The fan blade and the sprue cover can rotate synchronously with the main shaft. When the fan blade rotates, air is drawn in from the conical air guide pipe and then blown onto the heat sinks and heat dissipation grooves through the exhaust ports.

[0025] Reference Figures 1-7A compact grinding head motor includes a motor body 1, a front cover 2, a rear cover 3, a squeegee cover 4, a main shaft 5, a fan blade 6, and a fan shroud 7. The motor body 1 has a rectangular parallelepiped structure, with its height dimension greater than its width dimension, and a lifting hole 11 on the top. The front cover 2 and the rear cover 3 are respectively fixed to the front and rear ends of the motor body 1, and the squeegee cover 4 is fitted onto the front end of the front cover 2. The main shaft 5 passes through the motor body 1, with its front end connected to the squeegee cover 4 and its rear end connected to the fan blade 6, which is located within the cavity 31 of the rear cover 3. The upper and lower ends of the motor body 1 are provided with longitudinally parallel heat sinks 1. 2. A heat dissipation groove 13 is formed between adjacent heat sinks 12; at least two axially penetrating waist-shaped exhaust ports 32 are opened on the upper and lower ends of the rear cover 3; the fan cover 7 is fixed to the rear end of the rear cover 3, and a tapered air guide pipe 71 is provided on its axial side, and a mesh plate 72 is provided at the air inlet; the inner wall of the end of the fly cover 4 that mates with the front cover 2 is provided with a gradually expanding flared mouth 41 to improve the efficiency of liquid centrifugal detachment; the fan blade 6 and the fly cover 4 can rotate synchronously with the main shaft 5. When the fan blade rotates, air is drawn in from the tapered air guide pipe 71 and then blown to the heat sink 12 and the heat dissipation groove 13 through the exhaust port 32.

[0026] I. Working Principle: 1. Power Transmission Path: The main shaft 5 is driven by the motor body 1, synchronously driving the squeegee 4 and the fan blade 6 to rotate, forming a dual-function power output. Front end: The flared opening 41 of the squeegee 4 uses centrifugal force to throw off coolant or cutting fluid, achieving dynamic waterproofing; Rear end: The fan blade 6 generates axial airflow in the cavity 31, forcibly cooling the motor body 1. 2. Heat Dissipation Circulation System: Air intake: External air is accelerated through the conical air guide duct 71 and filtered through the mesh plate 72; Airflow guidance: After being pressurized by the fan blade 6, the airflow is directed from the waist-shaped exhaust port 32 to the heat sink 12 and the heat dissipation groove 13 for heat dissipation. 3. Waterproof Sealing Mechanism: Multi-level protection: First level: Centrifugal water throwing of the flared opening 41 improves the efficiency of liquid throwing; Second level: Double blocking by the media corrosion resistant fluororubber oil seal 9 and the high temperature resistant hydrogenated nitrile rubber oil seal 10.

[0027] II. Achieved Technical Effects: 1. Space Efficiency: The cuboid design compresses the lateral dimensions, facilitating side-by-side installation of multiple machines; the integrated junction box and mounting hole 11 at the top simplify wiring, reducing the overall size of the equipment. 2. Breakthrough in Heat Dissipation Performance: The forced air cooling system extends continuous working life; the directional airflow design and the waist-shaped structure of the exhaust vent 32 improve airflow coverage and enhance heat dissipation efficiency. 3. Reliability: Improved waterproof rating and vibration resistance. 4. Energy Efficiency Optimization: Low wind resistance design, with the combination of a tapered air duct 71 and a perforated plate 72, reduces wind pressure loss. 5. Integrated Functions: Waterproofing (fly cover), heat dissipation (fan blades), and structural support (arc-shaped shell) are integrated into a single compact module. In summary, this application eliminates the need for heat sinks 12 and exhaust vents 32 on the left and right sides of the motor body 1. By raising the center of the magnetic circuit and optimizing the stator winding arrangement, the size of the grinding head motor is compressed to an extremely narrow width, effectively improving the machine's space utilization and allowing for the integration of more grinding head motors into the equipment.

[0028] In some embodiments, the width-to-height ratio of the motor body 1 is 1:1.5-1:1.8, which is suitable for high-density installation, and the spacing between multiple units side by side can be ≤5mm; the depth of the heat dissipation groove 13 is 50%-70% of the height of the heat dissipation fin, balancing airflow resistance and heat dissipation area; the length-to-width ratio of the exhaust port is 3:1-5:1, which guides the airflow and improves the airflow coverage; the cone angle of the tapered air duct 71 is 15°-25°, which reduces wind pressure loss by 20% and increases air volume by 25%; the aperture of the mesh plate 72 is ≤2mm, which improves the dust filtration efficiency by 60% and maintains an opening rate of 70% without clogging; the cone angle of the horn mouth 41 is 20°-30°, which improves the centrifugal water-throwing efficiency by 40% and enhances the waterproof rating.

[0029] In some embodiments, a wire clamping plate 8 is also included, which is fixed to the top of the motor body 1 by bolts. The width of the wire clamping plate 8 does not exceed 30% of the width of the motor body 1 to avoid lateral expansion, maintain the overall compactness of the motor, and adapt to narrow installation scenarios. The left and right sides of the motor body 1 are curved surfaces, and the top is provided with a lifting hole 11.

[0030] In some embodiments, a first-stage fluororubber oil seal 9 with a Shore hardness of 70±5 is provided between the end face of the squeegee cover 4 and the front cover 2; a second-stage hydrogenated nitrile rubber oil seal 10 with a Shore hardness of 80±5 and a temperature resistance range of -40℃ to 150℃ is provided between the inner wall of the front cover 2 and the outer wall of the main shaft 5; the sealing reliability is improved, the service life is extended under high-speed rotation, and both elastic sealing and wear resistance are taken into account.

[0031] In some embodiments, the axial distance between the air inlet end face of the conical air guide duct 71 and the tip of the fan blade 6 is 5%-8% of the impeller diameter, which avoids airflow turbulence loss, increases air volume, ensures uniform airflow intake of the fan blade 6, and reduces noise.

[0032] In some embodiments, the surface of the heat sink 12 of the motor body 1 is provided with a nano-alumina coating with a thermal conductivity ≥30 W / (m·K), which improves heat transfer efficiency and quickly dissipates heat from inside the motor; the coating thickness is 20-50μm, which balances thermal conductivity and mechanical strength and prevents the coating from peeling off.

[0033] The technical features of the above embodiments can be combined arbitrarily. For the sake of brevity, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above embodiments are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, they should be considered to be within the scope of this specification. Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, those skilled in the art will understand that various changes, modifications, substitutions and variations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention. The scope of the present invention is defined by the claims and their equivalents.
