Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of rail transit equipment technology, specifically relating to a spray motor for a windshield wiper of a rail transit vehicle. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, the spray motors used in windshield wipers of rail transit vehicles all employ an impeller pump structure. When air is present in the impeller cavity or water supply pipe, the spray motor may fail to pump water, preventing the windshield from being cleaned when needed, thus impairing the driver's visibility and affecting driving safety. In addition, the spray motors used in windshield wipers of rail transit vehicles are directly connected to the vehicle's power supply via a switch. When the washer fluid freezes or the spray pipe becomes blocked, it can easily damage the impeller or cause the impeller cavity seal to fail, allowing washer fluid to enter the motor and cause a short circuit, resulting in the vehicle tripping and affecting driving safety.

[0003] Therefore, it is necessary to propose a spray motor for windshield wipers of rail transit vehicles that is simple in structure, easy to use, and highly reliable to solve the problems existing in the prior art. Utility Model Content

[0009] The output shaft of the motor body passes through the motor base and is connected to the impeller installed in the cavity via a transmission.

[0010] The motor's lower cover is also equipped with a drain outlet and a water inlet.

[0011] Preferably, the lead wire of the motor body passes through the motor cover and is connected to a connector for connecting to external wires, and the lead wire and the motor cover are coated with sealant.

[0016] Preferably, the impeller is a self-priming centrifugal impeller, with the inner side of the impeller having a spiral self-priming structure and the outer side having a scattering curved surface structure. When the impeller rotates at high speed, the bottom of the impeller can draw in the washing liquid and throw the drawn-in washing liquid to the surrounding area of ​​the impeller.

[0017] Preferably, the water inlet is located at the bottom of the motor's lower cover, and the drain outlet is located on the side of the impeller.

[0018] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0026] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model. Example:

[0027] See Figure 1 and Figure 2 A spray motor for a windshield wiper in rail transit vehicles is disclosed. The spray motor is mounted on a water tank and pumps detergent solution from the tank to the windshield via a spray pipe when needed, cleaning the windshield and providing the driver with a clear view. The motor includes an upper cover 5, a motor body 6, a lower cover 3, a base 8, and an impeller 10. The upper cover 5 is an open container for mounting the motor body 6; the opening of the upper cover 5 is sealed by the base 8. The lower cover 3 is sealed to the base 8, and a cavity is provided between the base 8 and the lower cover 3. The output shaft of the motor body 6 passes through the base 8 and is connected to the impeller 10 located in the cavity. The lower cover 3 also has a drain outlet and a water inlet.

[0028] The control part of the spray motor in this embodiment consists of a spray motor MCU control circuit, a spray motor switch circuit, a spray motor drive circuit, and a current detection circuit. When the spray switch is closed, the MCU receives the closing command of the control switch and sends a command to drive the spray motor to operate. The motor body 6 drives the impeller 10 to rotate at high speed. The washing liquid enters from the bottom of the impeller through the spiral impeller on the inner side of the impeller. Under the action of centrifugal force, it is thrown to the outer side of the impeller by the scattering structure and discharged from the outlet of the motor lower cover 3. When the overcurrent detection circuit detects that the spray motor is overcurrent, it stops the spray motor from operating.

[0029] The lead wire of the motor body 6 passes through the motor cover 5 and is connected to a connector 4. This avoids direct connection to the vehicle's power supply via a switch, preventing short circuits caused by impeller damage or impeller cavity seal failure due to freezing of the washing liquid or blockage of the spray pipe, which could lead to the vehicle tripping and affecting driving safety. For connection to external wires, the lead wire is coated with sealant between itself and the motor cover 5 to prevent external impurities or water droplets from entering the motor body 6 and causing short circuits.

[0030] The output shaft of the motor base 8 and the motor body 6 are sealed by a skeleton oil seal ring 7 to prevent washing liquid from entering the motor body 6 and causing risks such as short circuit.

[0031] The motor lower cover 3 and the motor base 8 are sealed by an O-ring 9 to prevent the washing liquid from leaking.

[0032] The drain outlet of the motor lower cover 3 adopts an internal thread interface so as to connect with various drain connectors 1, which are connected to the external spray pipes.

[0033] The upper cover 5 and the lower cover 3 of the motor are fixed to the motor base 8 by fastening screws 2.

[0034] See Figure 3 and Figure 4 The impeller 10 is a self-priming centrifugal impeller. The inner side of the impeller 10 has a spiral self-priming structure, and the outer side has a scattering curved surface structure. When the spray motor body 6 rotates at high speed, it drives the impeller 10 to rotate at high speed. The bottom of the impeller 10 can suck in the washing liquid, which is thrown to the outside of the impeller by the scattering structure under the action of centrifugal force and discharged from the outlet of the motor cover. It is then pumped to the front window glass through the spray pipeline.

[0035] The water inlet is located at the bottom of the motor lower cover 3, and the drain outlet is located on the side of the impeller.
