Description

Technical Field

[0002] Electric motors, as the power source for electrical appliances and various machines, are widely used in various industries, such as the compressor industry.

[0003] The main function of an electric motor is to convert electrical energy into mechanical energy. An electric motor mainly consists of a stator and a rotor. The stator has stator coils, and the rotor has magnets. The rotation of the motor is achieved by the interaction of the magnetic field generated by the magnets and the magnetic field generated when the stator coils are energized. The stator includes a stator core, insulating components, and stator coils. The insulating components are located outside the stator teeth of the stator core, and the stator coils are mounted on the insulating components, which provide insulation between the stator coils and the stator core.

[0004] Currently, with the increasing speed and displacement of scroll compressors, the weight of the moving scroll plate is also constantly increasing, leading to a continuous increase in motor power and current, and consequently, a greater risk of insulation failure. Existing motor stator core insulation typically uses a single upper and lower frame spliced ​​together, or insulating paper wrapped around the stator core, or a single upper and lower frame with insulating paper used for insulation within the stator slots. However, these insulation devices are time-consuming and labor-intensive to install, and are prone to poor withstand voltage and frame deformation after stator winding, as well as loosening and peeling during long-term use.

[0034] In the following description, reference will be made to Figures 1 to 4 The specific structure of the aforementioned components of the integrally molded insulating frame and the connection relationship of the aforementioned components are described in detail.

[0035] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, in this embodiment, the number of toothed insulating members 1 can be multiple, corresponding to multiple teeth 40 of the stator core 4. The toothed insulating members 1 can be disposed between two adjacent teeth 40 of the stator core 4. The toothed insulating members 1 can cover the sidewalls of the teeth 40 of the stator core 4 (i.e., the toothed insulating members 1 are attached to the sidewalls of the teeth 40) to insulate the teeth 40 of the stator core 4. The toothed insulating members 1 can penetrate the stator core 4 axially. Two annular disk portions 2 can be disposed at both ends of the multiple toothed insulating members 1 axially. The stator core 4 can be sandwiched between the two annular disk portions 2 to insulate the ends of the stator core 4. An annular wall plate 3 can be disposed on the annular disk portion 2. The annular wall plate 3 can protrude axially from the annular disk portion 2, allowing the motor windings (not shown) to be wound and arranged on the annular wall plate 3. The toothed insulating component 1, the annular disk portion 2, and the annular wall plate 3 can be integrally molded, thereby avoiding the risk of poor pressure resistance and deformation of the integrally molded insulating skeleton. Placing the stator core 4 into a mold and then injection molding the integrally molded insulating skeleton ensures a stable bond between the stator core 4 and the integrally molded insulating skeleton, preventing loosening and peeling during use and eliminating the need for cumbersome installation procedures.

[0036] Preferred, such as Figures 1 to 3 As shown, in this embodiment, the number of toothed insulating members 1 can be equal to the number of teeth 40 of the stator core 4. That is, the mold used for injection molding the integrally formed insulating skeleton can be adaptively designed according to the specific structure of the stator core 4. When the integrally formed insulating skeleton is installed on the stator core 4, the toothed insulating members 1 are surrounded in the gap between two adjacent teeth 40, while the end face of the teeth 40 near the axis of the stator core 4 is exposed in the toothed insulating members 1.

[0037] Preferred, such as Figure 1 and Figure 4 As shown, in this embodiment, the toothed insulating member 1 is in close contact with the circumferential sidewall of the tooth 40 and the wall surface used to connect two adjacent teeth 40, so as to play an insulating role. Further, preferably, the wall thickness 10 of the toothed insulating member can be H, where H≤5mm, thereby preventing the integrally molded insulating skeleton from shrinking and collapsing during injection molding.

[0038] Preferred, such as Figures 1 to 3As shown, in this embodiment, the annular disk portion 2 may include a plurality of end insulating members 20, which may be arranged circumferentially at intervals. The end insulating members 20 cover the ends of the teeth 40 of the stator core 4, serving to insulate the ends of the teeth 40. The end insulating members 20 may be connected to the axial ends of two adjacent tooth insulating members 1. Furthermore, the side of the end insulating member 20 near the stator core 4 may be formed as a horizontal surface, allowing the axial end face of the stator core 4 to conform to the horizontal surface.

[0039] Preferred, such as Figures 1 to 3 As shown, in an embodiment, the annular disk portion 2 may include an upper annular disk 21 and a lower annular disk 22 (to...). Figure 2 The upward direction shown is upward, with Figure 2 (The downward direction shown is "down"), the upper annular disk 21 and the lower annular disk 22 are symmetrically arranged. The upper annular disk 21 can cover the top axial end of the teeth 40 of the stator core 4, and the lower annular disk 22 can cover the bottom axial end of the teeth 40 of the stator core 4.

[0040] Furthermore, preferably, such as Figures 1 to 3 As shown, in this embodiment, the annular wall panel 3 may include a first annular wall 31 and a second annular wall 32. The first annular wall 31 may be located on the inner circumference of the annular disk portion 2. The two first annular walls 31 may be respectively disposed on the upper annular disk 21 and the lower annular disk 22. One first annular wall 31 protrudes upward from the upper annular disk 21, and the other first annular wall 31 protrudes downward from the lower annular disk 22, facilitating winding. The second annular wall 32 may be located on the outer circumference of the annular disk portion 2. The two second annular walls 32 may be respectively disposed on the upper annular disk 21 and the lower annular disk 22. One second annular wall 32 protrudes upward from the upper annular disk 21, and the other second annular wall 32 protrudes downward from the lower annular disk 22, facilitating winding.

[0041] Specifically, such as Figures 1 to 3 As shown, in this embodiment, the first annular wall 31 may include a plurality of arc-shaped plate portions 310. The width of the arc-shaped plate portions 310 gradually increases along the direction close to the stator core 4, and the wall surface of the arc-shaped plate portions 310 may be formed as an arc surface. The plurality of arc-shaped plate portions 310 may be arranged circumferentially at intervals, and the plurality of arc-shaped plate portions 310 are connected to a plurality of end insulating members 20 in a one-to-one correspondence. The plurality of windings may be wound around the plurality of arc-shaped plate portions 310 respectively, such that the plurality of windings are arranged at intervals from each other.

[0042] Further optimized, such as Figures 1 to 3As shown, in this embodiment, the second annular wall 32 may include a plurality of wire guide plates 321, a first wire-holding post 323, and a second wire-holding post 324. The plurality of wire guide plates 321 may be arranged circumferentially at intervals, and each wire guide plate 321 may protrude axially from the annular disk portion 2. The wire guide plates 321 are located on the outer periphery of the annular disk portion 2 and are disposed between two adjacent end insulators 20. Two wire guide posts 322 may be arranged at intervals on each wire guide plate 321, and the transition wire for winding may be wound around the wire guide post 322. The first wire-holding post 323 may be located at the end of one of the wire guide posts 322 away from the annular disk portion 2, and the first wire-holding post 323 protrudes radially from the outer surface of the wire guide post 322. The second wire-holding post 324 may be located at the end of the other wire guide post 322 near the annular disk portion 2, such that the second wire-holding post 324 is staggered from the first wire-holding post 323. The second wire-holding post 324 protrudes radially from the outer surface of the wire guide post 322. During use, the transition line can be wound around the two wire guide posts 322 of the wire guide plate 321 in the circumferential direction, and the transition line is locked between the first wire guide post 323 and the second wire guide post 324 to prevent the transition line from shifting or falling off.

[0043] Preferred, such as Figures 1 to 3 As shown in the embodiment, the center of the wire guide plate 321 may also have a wire-binding hole 325 for the wire to pass through. The operator can pass the wire through the wire-binding hole 325 to secure the transition wire and the motor's lead wire. Additionally, the second annular wall 32 also serves as an insulating barrier, separating the energized winding from the motor's metal casing or other conductive components at different potentials to prevent electrical conduction.

[0044] Furthermore, according to a second aspect of the present invention, a scroll compressor is provided, the scroll compressor comprising a motor and an integrally formed insulating frame as described above, the integrally formed insulating frame being mounted on the stator core 4 of the motor.

[0045] During use, the mold for the integrally formed insulating skeleton can be designed according to the stator core 4, meaning the mold can be adaptively changed according to the shape and stacking height of the stator core 4. First, the stator core 4 is placed in the mold, then the raw material for the integrally formed insulating skeleton is heated and injected into the mold through an injection molding machine. After the raw material solidifies, it is demolded. At this point, the integrally formed insulating skeleton can achieve a stable bond with the stator core 4 without loosening or peeling, and it has strong pressure resistance. The integrally formed insulating skeleton has high structural strength and rigidity, eliminating seams, connection points, or potential weak points present in traditional assembly structures. It can better resist vibration, impact, electromagnetic force during motor operation, and stress during assembly, reducing the risk of deformation, cracking, or displacement. Furthermore, the integrally formed insulating skeleton avoids burrs, gaps, or insulation gaps caused by improper assembly during the assembly process, avoids potential creepage distance shortening points, significantly improves dielectric strength and pressure resistance, and greatly enhances the electrical safety and long-term operational reliability of the motor.
