[0023] 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.
[0024] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, this utility model proposes a silent claw-pole synchronous motor, including a housing 1 and a cover 2. A rotor 3 is installed inside the housing 1, and a stator 4 is fitted over the rotor 3. The rotor 3 includes a gear shaft 31, which is connected to a gear assembly 5. A rotating shaft 33 is fitted inside the gear shaft 31, and an elastic element 32 is fitted over the rotating shaft 33. One end of the elastic element 32 contacts the cover 2, and the other end contacts the gear shaft 31, providing elastic support for the rotor 3. A planar bearing 12 is provided between one end of the rotor 3 and the inner cavity of the housing 1, and the planar bearing 12 is fitted over the rotating shaft 33. The planar bearing 12 reduces the friction between the rotor 3 and the housing 1 during rotation. The elastic element 32 pushes the rotor 3 towards the planar bearing 12. The use of elastic element 32 to elastically support rotor 3 significantly reduces noise generated by mechanical vibration during motor operation, improving the stability and quietness of motor operation and providing a more comfortable user environment. The application of flat bearing 12 not only reduces the frictional resistance between rotor 3 and housing 1, achieving lower noise levels, but also improves the overall transmission efficiency and service life of the motor. The overall design effectively solves the problem of high noise in traditional claw pole synchronous motors.
[0025] Furthermore, as a preferred embodiment of the present invention and not a limitation thereof, the gear shaft 31 is fixedly connected to the rotating shaft 33, and the rotating shaft 33 is rotatably connected to the housing 1 and the cover 2. The fixed connection between the gear shaft 31 and the rotating shaft 33 enhances the rigidity and synchronization of the transmission structure, avoids slippage or wear problems caused by friction transmission, improves the reliability of motor operation, and avoids the instability caused by friction between the gear shaft and the sidewall of the rotating shaft in traditional structures. The rotatable connection between the rotating shaft 33 and the housing 1 and the cover 2 transforms the friction area from a large-scale sidewall friction to a localized small-scale friction, effectively reducing friction noise and further improving the motor's quietness performance.
[0026] Optionally, in some embodiments, the gear shaft 31 is rotatably connected to the rotating shaft 33, and one end of the rotating shaft 33 is fixedly connected to the housing 1. Although the friction fit method in the conventional structure is retained, by introducing the elastic element 32 and the plane bearing 12 into the rotor 3 structure, the vibration and noise caused by friction can be effectively absorbed and mitigated.
[0027] Furthermore, as a preferred embodiment of the present invention and not a limitation thereof, the planar bearing 12 is a thrust ball bearing. The planar bearing 12 includes a ring and a seat. The ring contacts one end of the rotor 3, and the seat contacts the inner cavity of the housing 1 to effectively transmit and support the axial force of the rotor 3. The inner cavity of the housing 1 has a groove 11 that matches the shape of the seat. The seat is disposed in the groove 11 to achieve limiting and stable assembly of the seat within the groove 11, improving assembly accuracy and structural reliability, and preventing displacement during operation. Using a thrust ball bearing as the planar bearing 12 can effectively withstand the axial load of the rotor 3, improving the operating stability of the motor under complex working conditions. Compared with sliding friction, the rolling friction characteristics of the thrust ball bearing significantly reduce frictional resistance and noise levels, further improving the quietness of the motor.
[0028] Furthermore, as a preferred embodiment of the present invention and not a limitation thereof, the height of the groove 11 is consistent with the height of the bearing seat. This ensures that after assembly, the end face of the bearing seat remains flush with or tightly fitted to the corresponding surface of the inner cavity of the housing 1, preventing axial movement or loosening of the bearing seat during operation, and improving the overall stability of the bearing system. When the rotor 3 rotates, the axial force is transmitted through the rotor end face to the shaft ring of the thrust ball bearing, then through the rolling elements to the bearing seat, and finally evenly transmitted by the bearing seat to the housing 1, achieving effective transmission and support of the axial force.
[0029] Furthermore, as a preferred embodiment of the invention and not a limitation thereof, the elastic element 32 is a spring. In its compressed state, the spring applies a continuous elastic force to the rotor 3, pressing the rotor 3 towards the plane bearing 12, ensuring the rotor remains stable during rotation and reducing vibration and noise caused by axial clearance. When the motor generates minor vibrations or axial displacement during operation, the spring can absorb vibration energy through its own elastic deformation, playing a buffering and shock-absorbing role, and improving the smoothness of motor operation.
[0030] Furthermore, as a preferred embodiment of the invention and not a limitation thereof, the gear shaft 31 is fitted with a magnetic material, which is an injection-molded magnet or ferrite, and the magnetic material is formed by powder metallurgy. The rotating shaft 33 is integrally formed with the gear shaft 31 by insert injection molding.
[0031] Example 1:
[0032] This utility model proposes a silent claw-pole synchronous motor, including a housing 1 and a cover 2. A rotor 3 is installed inside the housing 1, and a stator 4 is fitted over the rotor 3. The rotor 3 includes a gear shaft 31, which is connected to a gear assembly 5. A rotating shaft 33 is fitted inside the gear shaft 31, and an elastic element 32 is fitted over the rotating shaft 33. One end of the elastic element 32 contacts the cover 2, and the other end contacts the gear shaft 31, providing elastic support for the rotor 3. A planar bearing 12 is provided between one end of the rotor 3 and the inner cavity of the housing 1, fitted over the rotating shaft 33. The planar bearing 12 reduces the friction between the rotor 3 and the housing 1 during rotation. The elastic element 32 pushes the rotor 3 towards the planar bearing 12. The use of elastic element 32 to elastically support rotor 3 significantly reduces noise generated by mechanical vibration during motor operation, improving the stability and quietness of motor operation and providing a more comfortable user environment. The application of flat bearing 12 not only reduces the frictional resistance between rotor 3 and housing 1, achieving lower noise levels, but also improves the overall transmission efficiency and service life of the motor. The overall design effectively solves the problem of high noise in traditional claw pole synchronous motors.
[0033] The gear shaft 31 is fixedly connected to the rotating shaft 33, which is rotatably connected to the housing 1 and the cover 2. The fixed connection between the gear shaft 31 and the rotating shaft 33 enhances the rigidity and synchronization of the transmission structure, avoids slippage or wear problems caused by friction transmission, improves the reliability of motor operation, and avoids the instability caused by friction between the gear shaft and the side wall of the rotating shaft in traditional structures. The rotatable connection between the rotating shaft 33 and the housing 1 and the cover 2 transforms the friction area from large-scale side wall friction to localized small-scale friction, effectively reducing friction noise and further improving the motor's quietness.
[0034] The thrust ball bearing 12 comprises a shaft ring and a bearing seat. The shaft ring contacts one end of the rotor 3, and the bearing seat contacts the inner cavity of the housing 1 to effectively transmit and support the axial force of the rotor 3. The inner cavity of the housing 1 has a groove 11 that matches the shape of the bearing seat. The bearing seat is positioned within the groove 11 to achieve limiting and stable assembly of the bearing seat within the groove 11, improving assembly accuracy and structural reliability, and preventing displacement during operation. Using a thrust ball bearing as the thrust ball bearing 12 effectively withstands the axial load of the rotor 3, improving the motor's operational stability under complex conditions. Compared to sliding friction, the rolling friction characteristics of the thrust ball bearing significantly reduce frictional resistance and noise levels, further improving the motor's quietness. The height of the groove 11 is the same as the height of the bearing seat. This ensures that after assembly, the end face of the bearing seat remains flush or tightly fitted with the corresponding surface of the inner cavity of the housing 1, preventing axial movement or loosening of the bearing seat during operation and improving the overall stability of the bearing system. When the rotor 3 rotates, the axial force is transmitted through the rotor end face to the shaft ring of the thrust ball bearing, then through the rolling elements to the bearing seat, and finally evenly transmitted by the bearing seat to the housing 1, achieving effective transmission and support of the axial force.
[0035] The elastic element 32 is a spring. When compressed, the spring applies a continuous elastic force to the rotor 3, pressing it towards the plane bearing 12 to ensure stability during rotation and reduce vibration and noise caused by axial clearance. When the motor experiences minor vibrations or axial displacement during operation, the spring absorbs vibration energy through its elastic deformation, acting as a buffer and shock absorber, thus improving the smoothness of motor operation.
[0036] The gear shaft 31 is fitted with a magnetic material, which is either injection-molded magnet or ferrite and is formed using powder metallurgy. The rotating shaft 33 is integrally formed with the gear shaft 31 using an insert injection molding process.
[0037] Example 2:
[0038] The difference between Embodiment 2 and Embodiment 1 is that the gear shaft 31 is rotatably connected to the rotating shaft 33, and one end of the rotating shaft 33 is fixedly connected to the housing 1. Although the friction fit method in the traditional structure is retained, by introducing the elastic element 32 and the plane bearing 12 into the rotor 3 structure, the vibration and noise caused by friction can be effectively absorbed and mitigated.
[0039] Specifically, the working principle of this invention is as follows:
[0040] When the motor is running, the current passes through the stator 4 windings to generate a rotating magnetic field, which interacts with the magnetic material in the rotor 3, driving the rotor 3 to rotate synchronously. The rotor 3 transmits power to the external gear assembly 5 via a gear shaft 31. Inside the gear shaft 31 is a rotating shaft 33, which is fixedly connected to the gear shaft 31 and forms a rotatable connection with the housing 1 and the cover 2. This structure avoids the instability caused by traditional sidewall friction, concentrating the friction area in a small local area, thereby significantly reducing operating noise.
[0041] An elastic element 32, preferably a spring structure, is fitted onto the rotating shaft 33. One end of the spring contacts the cover 2, and the other end acts on the gear shaft 31. Under compression, it applies a continuous elastic force to the rotor 3, pushing the rotor 3 toward the plane bearing 12. This elastic support structure can absorb the minor vibrations generated during motor operation, improving the smoothness and quietness of operation.
[0042] At one end of the rotor 3, a thrust ball bearing as a planar bearing 12 is provided, including a shaft ring and a shaft seat. The shaft ring contacts the rotor 3, and the shaft seat is embedded in a groove 11 in the inner cavity of the housing 1, with the height of the groove 11 matching the height of the shaft seat, thus achieving the limiting and stable assembly of the shaft seat. This bearing structure not only effectively transmits the axial force of the rotor 3 but also significantly reduces frictional resistance and noise through rolling friction. Meanwhile, the gear shaft 31 is sleeved with a magnetic material (injection-molded magnet or ferrite) formed by powder metallurgy, and is integrally formed with the rotating shaft 33 through insert injection molding, enhancing structural strength and magnetic properties, and improving the overall operating efficiency and stability of the motor.
[0043] In summary, this invention solves the problem of high noise in traditional claw-pole synchronous motors.
