Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of electric motors, specifically to a multi-seal structure for electric motors. Background Technology
[0002] An electric motor is a machine that converts electrical energy (alternating current) into mechanical energy. An AC electric motor mainly consists of an electromagnet winding or distributed stator windings to generate a magnetic field and a rotating armature or rotor. Electric motors are made by utilizing the phenomenon that a current-carrying coil rotates in a magnetic field.
[0003] In existing electric motors, the rotor is sealed by a shaft seal. When the rotor rotates, friction occurs between it and the inner wall of the shaft seal, which easily causes wear on the shaft seal. When the shaft seal is damaged, the sealing performance of the electric motor decreases, which can lead to water ingress and damage to the electric motor. To solve the above problems, this application proposes a multi-seal structure for electric motors. Utility Model Content

It should be understood that these descriptions are merely exemplary and not intended to limit the scope of this utility model. Furthermore, descriptions of well-known structures and technologies are omitted in the following description to avoid unnecessarily obscuring the concept of this utility model.
[0028] like Figure 1-5 As shown, the multi-seal structure of the electric motor proposed in this utility model includes a motor 1, a cover 2 and a rotor 3. The cover 2 is fixed to the motor 1 by bolts. The rotor 3 is rotatably disposed in the inner cavity of the motor 1, and the end of the rotor 3 passes through the cover 2. A cover shaft seal 5 is embedded on the surface of the cover 2, and the rotor 3 is inserted into the inner cavity of the cover shaft seal 5.
[0029] The motor 1 has an integrally formed limiting ring 6 on its surface, and the inner cavity of the limiting ring 6 is provided with a double-sided shaft seal 7.
[0030] The double-sided shaft seal 7 is composed of an outer shaft seal ring 8, an inner shaft seal ring 9, and a partition plate 10. The outer shaft seal ring 8 and the inner shaft seal ring 9 are connected by the partition plate 10, which is located in the middle of the outer shaft seal ring 8 and the inner shaft seal ring 9.
[0031] The inner wall of the inner ring 9 of the shaft seal is movably provided with fixing rings 14 at the top and bottom.
[0032] It should be noted that the inner cavity of the double-sided shaft seal 7 is divided into an upper oil reservoir 11 and a lower oil reservoir 12 by a partition plate 10. Both the upper oil reservoir 11 and the lower oil reservoir 12 are filled with lubricating grease. The double-sided shaft seal 7 is placed in the limiting ring 6, and the rotor 3 is inserted into the inner cavity of the double-sided shaft seal 7. The locking ring 16 is threadedly connected to the threaded groove on the inner wall of the limiting ring 6. The double-sided shaft seal 7 can be fixed by the locking ring 16, which allows for quick replacement of the double-sided shaft seal 7 when it is damaged. Positioning is achieved through positioning slot 13, and fixing rings 14 are located in the upper oil storage chamber 11 and the lower oil storage chamber 12 respectively. The inner ring 9 of the shaft seal is contracted by the two sets of fixing rings 14, so that the inner ring 9 of the shaft seal is tightly attached to the surface of the rotor 3, which can improve the sealing effect of the double-sided shaft seal 7. The cover 2 is fixed to the motor 1 by bolts, and the rotor 3 passes through the inner cavity of the cover shaft seal 5. The double-sided shaft seal 7 and the cover shaft seal 5 can achieve multiple seals for the motor 1, which can improve the sealing performance of the motor 1 during use.
[0033] In this embodiment, as Figure 4 As shown, the inner cavity of the double-sided shaft seal 7 is located above the partition plate 10 to form an upper oil storage cavity 11, and the inner cavity of the double-sided shaft seal 7 is located below the partition plate 10 to form a lower oil storage cavity 12. The inner cavities of the upper oil storage cavity 11 and the lower oil storage cavity 12 are used for storing lubricating grease, and the inner walls of the upper oil storage cavity 11 and the lower oil storage cavity 12 are provided with oil outlet holes 15, which respectively penetrate the inner ring 9 of the shaft seal.
[0034] It should be noted that both the upper oil storage chamber 11 and the lower oil storage chamber 12 have oil outlet holes 15 on their inner walls. When the motor 1 is working, the heat generated is transferred to the oil storage chamber, causing the lubricating grease to liquefy. The liquefied lubricating grease flows out from the oil outlet holes 15, which can lubricate the surface of the rotor 3 and the inner ring 9 of the shaft seal, thereby reducing wear on the inner ring 9 of the shaft seal and extending the service life of the double-sided shaft seal 7.
[0035] In this embodiment, as Figure 4 As shown, the outer ring 8 of the shaft seal in the inner cavity of the upper oil storage chamber 11 and the lower oil storage chamber 12 is provided with positioning grooves 13, and the fixing ring 14 is located in the inner cavity of the positioning groove 13.
[0036] In this embodiment, as Figure 3 As shown, a threaded groove is provided at the top of the inner cavity of the limiting ring 6, and a locking pressure ring 16 is threadedly connected to the inner wall of the limiting ring 6 through the threaded groove. The locking pressure ring 16 abuts against the surface of the double-sided shaft seal 7.
[0037] It should be noted that the locking ring 16 is threadedly connected to the threaded groove on the inner wall of the limiting ring 6. The double-sided shaft seal 7 can be fixed by the locking ring 16, and the double-sided shaft seal 7 can be quickly replaced when it is damaged.
[0038] In this embodiment, as Figure 1 As shown, both sides of the motor 1 and the pressure cover 2 are integrally formed with fixing ears 4, which are symmetrically distributed.
[0039] It should be noted that the motor 1 can be easily fixed by the fixing ear 4.
[0040] The working principle and usage process of this utility model are as follows: The inner cavity of the double-sided shaft seal 7 is divided into an upper oil storage cavity 11 and a lower oil storage cavity 12 by a partition plate 10. Both the upper oil storage cavity 11 and the lower oil storage cavity 12 are filled with lubricating grease. The double-sided shaft seal 7 is placed in the limiting ring 6, and the rotor 3 is inserted into the inner cavity of the double-sided shaft seal 7. The locking pressure ring 16 is threadedly connected to the threaded groove on the inner wall of the limiting ring 6, and the double-sided shaft seal 7 can be fixed by the locking pressure ring 16. When the double-sided shaft seal 7 is damaged, it can be quickly replaced. The fixing ring 14 is positioned by the positioning slot 13, and the fixing ring 14 is located in the upper oil storage cavity 11 and the lower oil storage cavity 12 respectively. The two sets of fixing ring 14 fix the inner cavity of the shaft seal. The inner ring 9 of the shaft seal contracts, making it tightly adhere to the surface of the rotor 3, which improves the sealing effect of the double-sided shaft seal 7. The cover 2 is fixed to the motor 1 with bolts, and the rotor 3 passes through the inner cavity of the cover shaft seal 5. The double-sided shaft seal 7 and the cover shaft seal 5 can achieve multiple seals for the motor 1, which can improve the sealing performance of the motor 1 during use. At the same time, oil outlet holes 15 are opened on the inner walls of the upper oil storage chamber 11 and the lower oil storage chamber 12. The heat generated by the motor 1 during operation is transferred to the oil storage chamber, which will liquefy the lubricating grease. The liquefied lubricating grease flows out from the oil outlet hole 15, which can lubricate the surface of the rotor 3 and the inner ring 9 of the shaft seal, reduce the wear of the inner ring 9 of the shaft seal, and improve the service life of the double-sided shaft seal 7.
