Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the technical field of motor structures, and in particular to a motor structure with a centrifugal brake and an electromagnetic brake. Background Technology

[0002] Electric cylinders convert the rotary motion of a motor into linear motion, and transform the precise speed control, rotational speed control, and torque control of the motor into precise speed control, precise position control, and precise thrust control; thus achieving a new series of high-precision linear motion products.

[0003] The motor includes a drive shaft, on the outer wall of which are mounted an electromagnetic brake and a centrifugal brake. When the friction disc of the electromagnetic brake is released, the rotor of the centrifugal brake, under the action of centrifugal force, limits the rotational speed of the drive shaft to a predetermined speed range, thus playing a safety role.

[0004] Currently, an outer shell is often added to the outside of the motor's rear cover, forming an installation space between the outer shell and the rear cover. The drive shaft extends into the installation space, and the centrifugal brake and electromagnetic brake are respectively installed on the outer wall of the drive shaft. The centrifugal brake and electromagnetic brake are located within the installation space. The main principle of the centrifugal brake is that a spring pulls a centrifugal block with friction. When the centrifugal force of the falling rotation exceeds the spring tension, the centrifugal block will be thrown out and rub against the inner wall of the outer shell. At this time, kinetic energy is converted into internal energy, producing a deceleration effect. When the centrifugal block rubs against the inner wall of the outer shell, it is easy to generate powder. Since the sealing between the centrifugal brake and the electromagnetic brake is weak, when the powder enters the interior of the electromagnetic brake, it will affect the use of the electromagnetic brake. Summary of the Invention

[0005] To improve the sealing between the centrifugal brake and the electromagnetic brake, this application provides a motor structure with both a centrifugal brake and an electromagnetic brake.

[0006] This application provides a motor structure with a centrifugal brake and an electromagnetic brake, which adopts the following technical solution:

[0007] A motor structure with a centrifugal brake and an electromagnetic brake includes a motor body, a rear cover, and a drive shaft. The rear cover seals the rear side of the motor body, and the drive shaft passes through the center of the motor body. A mounting shell is installed on the outer side of the rear cover, and a connecting shell is provided on the side of the mounting shell away from the rear cover. An installation cavity is formed between the mounting shell and the connecting shell. One end of the drive shaft moves through the side wall of the mounting shell and the side wall of the connecting shell, respectively. A centrifugal brake is installed on the outer wall of the drive shaft and is located in the installation cavity. An electromagnetic brake is installed on the end of the connecting shell away from the mounting shell. A first oil seal is installed on the end of the mounting shell near the drive shaft, and a second oil seal is installed on the end of the connecting shell near the drive shaft.

[0008] By adopting the above technical solution, physical isolation can be achieved under the action of the first oil seal and the second oil seal. When the drive shaft is stationary, the oil seal achieves static sealing through the tight fit between the outer edge and the cavity, preventing lubricating oil leakage. When the drive shaft starts to rotate, a dynamic lubricating medium film will be formed between the sealing lip and the surface of the drive shaft. This film can not only effectively prevent lubricating oil leakage, but also reduce friction and extend the service life of the oil seal. The first oil seal reduces the intrusion of dust generated by the centrifugal brake into the bearing, thereby reducing the wear or jamming of the bearing. The second oil seal can improve the sealing between the centrifugal brake and the electromagnetic brake, reduce the entry of dust generated by the centrifugal brake into the electromagnetic brake, and thus reduce the impact of dust on the use of the electromagnetic brake.

[0009] Preferably, a sealing groove is provided on the side of the rear cover near the mounting shell, and a first sealing ring is installed inside the rear cover. The first sealing ring is located in the sealing groove, and one side of the first sealing ring abuts against the side wall of the mounting shell.

[0010] By adopting the above technical solution, the sealing performance between the rear cover and the mounting shell can be improved under the action of the first sealing ring, reducing the possibility of external impurities or water entering the interior through the gap between the mounting shell and the rear cover.

[0011] Preferably, an abutment plate is fixed on the side of the mounting shell near the rear cover shell, and the outer wall of the abutment plate abuts against the inner ring of the rear cover shell.

[0012] By adopting the above technical solution, the outer wall of the abutment plate abuts against the inner ring of the rear cover. Under the action of the abutment plate, the contact area between the abutment plate and the rear cover can be increased, thereby further improving the connection stability between the mounting shell and the rear cover.

[0013] Preferably, the connecting shell has a mounting groove on the side near the mounting shell, the mounting groove is arranged around the circumference of the connecting shell, and a second sealing ring is installed inside the connecting shell. The second sealing ring is located in the mounting groove, and one side of the second sealing ring abuts against one side of the mounting shell.

[0014] By adopting the above technical solution, the sealing performance between the mounting shell and the connecting shell can be improved under the action of the second sealing ring, reducing the possibility of external impurities or water entering the interior through the gap between the mounting shell and the connecting shell.

[0015] Preferably, a bearing is fitted on the outer wall of the drive shaft, and the outer wall of the bearing is installed on the inner wall of the rear cover, with the bearing located on the inner side of the rear cover.

[0016] By adopting the above technical solution, under the action of the bearing, sliding friction is converted into rolling friction. By separating the contact surfaces between the rear cover and the drive shaft during the rolling process, the bearing significantly reduces friction and wear. Rolling friction is less than sliding friction, thereby improving mechanical efficiency.

[0017] Preferably, a receiving cavity is formed between the side wall of the mounting housing and the rear cover housing, and an encoder is installed on the side of the rear cover housing near the mounting housing, with the encoder located inside the receiving cavity.

[0018] By adopting the above technical solution, the encoder is located in the receiving cavity, and the first oil seal improves the sealing between the mounting shell and the rear cover shell, thereby reducing the amount of powder generated by the centrifugal brake entering the receiving cavity and thus reducing the impact on the use of the encoder.

[0019] Preferably, the electromagnetic brake housing has an assembly groove on the side near the connecting shell, the assembly groove is arranged around the circumference of the electromagnetic brake housing, and a third sealing ring is installed on the side wall of the electromagnetic brake housing. The third sealing ring is located in the assembly groove, and one side of the third sealing ring abuts against one side of the connecting shell.

[0020] By adopting the above technical solution, the sealing performance between the electromagnetic brake housing and the connecting shell can be improved under the action of the third sealing ring, reducing the possibility of external impurities or water entering the interior through the gap between the electromagnetic brake housing and the connecting shell.

[0021] Preferably, the mounting shell and the rear cover shell are detachably connected, and the mounting shell and the connecting shell are detachably connected.

[0022] By adopting the above technical solution, the mounting shell and the rear cover shell are detachably connected, and the mounting shell and the connecting shell are detachably connected, which can improve the ease of disassembly and assembly between the mounting shell and the rear cover shell, and between the mounting shell and the connecting shell, thus facilitating the subsequent maintenance of the centrifugal brake and the electromagnetic brake.

[0023] In summary, this application includes at least one of the following beneficial technical effects:

[0024] 1. Physical isolation can be achieved through the action of the first and second oil seals. When the drive shaft is stationary, the oil seal achieves static sealing through the tight fit between the outer edge and the cavity, preventing lubricating oil leakage. When the drive shaft starts to rotate, a dynamic lubricating medium film is formed between the sealing lip and the surface of the drive shaft. This film can not only effectively prevent lubricating oil leakage, but also reduce friction and extend the service life of the oil seal. The first oil seal reduces the intrusion of dust generated by the centrifugal brake into the bearing, thereby reducing bearing wear or seizure. The second oil seal can improve the sealing between the centrifugal brake and the electromagnetic brake, reducing the entry of dust generated by the centrifugal brake into the electromagnetic brake, thereby reducing the impact of dust on the use of the electromagnetic brake.

[0025] 2. Under the action of the first sealing ring, the sealing performance between the rear cover and the mounting shell can be improved, reducing the possibility of external impurities or water entering the interior through the gap between the mounting shell and the rear cover.

The abutment plate 21 is arranged around the circumference of the mounting shell 2. The outer wall of the abutment plate 21 abuts against the inner ring of the rear cover shell 12. Under the action of the abutment plate 21, the contact area between the mounting shell 2 and the rear cover shell 12 can be increased, thereby further improving the connection stability between the mounting shell 2 and the rear cover shell 12.

[0035] A connecting shell 4 is provided on the side of the mounting shell 2 away from the rear cover shell 12. The outer side of the mounting shell 2 and the outer side of the connecting shell 4 are fixed together by bolts.
