Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to an AC motor, and more particularly to an axial anti-movement structure for the motor shaft of an AC motor, belonging to the field of motor technology. Background Technology

[0002] The existing axial anti-running structure for AC motors includes a stator assembly, a rotor assembly, a housing, a front cover, a rear cover, and a motor shaft. The stator assembly is mounted on the housing, the rotor assembly is mounted on the motor shaft, the front cover is mounted on the front face of the housing, and the rear cover is mounted on the rear face of the housing. The rear cover has a boss in the center, with a blind hole for mounting a bearing in the center of the boss. The rear end of the motor shaft passes through the inner ring of the bearing, with an interference fit between the rear end of the motor shaft and the inner ring. The outer ring of the bearing has a clearance fit with the blind hole. A corrugated shim is placed at the bottom of the blind hole, and the bearing abuts against the corrugated shim. The alternating arrangement of the crests and troughs of the corrugated shim generates a uniform elastic force under pressure. The axial preload provided by this elastic force prevents axial runout of the motor shaft.

[0003] However, this AC motor axial anti-running structure has the following four defects during use: (1) The axial preload provided by the elastic force generated by the wave gasket when it is compressed is used to prevent the motor shaft from running axially. However, after the wave gasket has been subjected to alternating load for a long time, it is easy to undergo plastic deformation. After plastic deformation, the elasticity of the wave gasket decreases, stress relaxation occurs, the preload is gradually lost, or even completely lost, and finally it cannot prevent the axial running of the motor shaft; (2) Under high frequency vibration environment, the wave gasket is prone to fatigue cracks or even breakage, which affects the reliability of the motor; (3) When the wave gasket is damaged and needs to be replaced, the motor needs to be disassembled before it can be replaced, which is very inconvenient; (4) During installation, grease needs to be used to stick the wave gasket to the bottom of the blind hole, which is inconvenient. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art and provide an AC motor axial anti-movement structure that can effectively prevent axial movement of the motor shaft, enable quick installation and replacement, ensure smooth and reliable motor operation, and has a simple structure.

[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model adopts an axial anti-running structure for an AC motor, including a stator assembly, a rotor assembly, a housing, a front end cover, a rear end cover, and a motor shaft. The stator assembly is mounted on the housing, the rotor assembly is mounted on the motor shaft, the front end cover is mounted on the front end face of the housing, and the rear end cover is mounted on the rear end face of the housing. The top of the rear end cover has a window for cable insertion, and the center of the rear end cover has a boss with a blind hole for mounting a bearing. The motor shaft... The rear end of the motor shaft passes through the inner ring of the bearing, and the rear end of the motor shaft is interference-fitted with the inner ring of the bearing. The outer ring of the bearing is clearance-fitted with the blind hole. The motor shaft also includes a screw and an elastic plate with a U-shaped cross-section made of elastic material. The boss has a screw hole arranged parallel to the motor shaft. The screw shank passes through the elastic plate and is screwed into the screw hole. The distance between the bottom surface of the screw head and the top surface of the boss is adapted to the thickness of the elastic plate. The elastic plate is inserted between the bottom surface of the screw head and the top surface of the boss, and the lower end of the elastic plate abuts against the outer ring of the bearing.

[0006] In a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the distance between the bottom surface of the screw head and the top surface of the boss is 0 to 0.05 mm greater than the thickness of the elastic sheet.

[0007] In a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the elastic sheet is made of stainless steel or spring steel and has a thickness of 1.5 to 3 mm.

[0008] By adopting the above structure, this utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0009] This utility model includes a screw and an elastic sheet with a U-shaped cross-section made of elastic material. The boss has a screw hole, and the screw shank passes through the elastic sheet and is screwed into the screw hole. The distance between the bottom surface of the screw head and the top surface of the boss is adapted to the thickness of the elastic sheet. The elastic sheet is inserted between the bottom surface of the screw head and the top surface of the boss, and the lower end of the elastic sheet abuts against the outer ring of the bearing. This structure has several advantages. First, the lower end of the elastic plate abuts against the outer ring of the bearing, pressing and fixing the outer ring within the blind hole of the rear end cover. Because the outer ring is confined within the blind hole and cannot move axially, and because the rear end of the motor shaft is interference-fitted with the inner ring of the bearing, the motor shaft cannot move axially, effectively preventing axial movement. Second, installing the elastic plate does not require disassembling the motor; simply insert the elastic plate into the gap between the bottom surface of the nail head and the top surface of the boss through the window at the top of the rear end cover. When the elastic plate is damaged and needs replacement, it can be easily removed through the window at the top of the rear end cover, making installation and replacement convenient and quick. Third, the elastic plate is less prone to fatigue cracks or breakage under high-frequency vibration, better ensuring smooth and reliable motor operation.

[0010] This utility model has a simple structure, is easy to implement, and is convenient to promote and apply. Attached Figure Description
