[0001] This utility model relates to the field of motors for power tools, specifically to a motor for a mini lathe. Background Technology
[0002] There is a mini lathe that requires a compact motor with easily replaceable carbon brushes to drive the spindle. In order to eliminate EMC electromagnetic interference, a capacitor needs to be installed in the motor. However, it is inconvenient to replace the carbon brushes and capacitors in existing motors. Utility Model Content
[0003] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to provide a compact motor for mini lathes that allows for easy replacement of carbon brushes and capacitors.
[0004] To solve the above problems, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows: a motor for a mini lathe, comprising: a cylindrical metal housing, a front end cover installed on the front end of the housing, a rear end cover installed on the rear end of the housing, an armature shaft coaxially mounted in the housing, the two ends of the armature shaft being respectively mounted to the two end covers via bearings, allowing the armature shaft to rotate within the housing, an armature core, an armature rear end plate, an armature front end plate, a fan blade, and a commutator mounted on the armature shaft, copper wire wound around the armature core to form the armature, magnets installed in the housing on both sides of the armature core, the armature core being located between the armature rear end plate and the armature front end plate, the fan blade being located between the commutator and the armature rear end plate, and the end of the armature being connected to the commutator, characterized in that: a wiring board is installed at the rear port of the housing, the rear end cover is placed on the wiring board, a carbon brush holder is provided on the left and right sides of the wiring board, and a snap-fit notch is provided on the left and right sides of the rear port of the housing. Two carbon brush holders are respectively snapped into two mounting notches from back to front. Each carbon brush holder has a capacitor compartment and a carbon brush compartment that communicates with the inner cavity of the outer casing. The capacitor compartment is located between the rear cover and the carbon brush compartment. Copper sleeves are inserted into each of the two carbon brush compartments. The two carbon brushes are inserted into the corresponding copper sleeves and contact the commutator. Two capacitors are placed in the two capacitor compartments. One wire of each capacitor is soldered to the copper plate on the corresponding carbon brush. The other wire of each capacitor passes through a wire groove on the rear surface of the wiring board and connects to the outer casing. The rear cover has a wire hole through which the power supply wire passes. Then, the positive and negative wires of the wire pass through a wire groove on the rear surface of the wiring board and extend to the two capacitor compartments. Then, the positive and negative wires of the wire are connected to the copper plates of the two carbon brushes. Both carbon brush holders have replacement ports for replacing capacitors and carbon brushes. Each replacement port has a removable cover plate.
[0005] Furthermore, in the aforementioned motor for a mini lathe, the cover plate has the following mounting structure: a retaining edge is provided on each of the left and right sides of the replacement port; a U-shaped groove is provided on each of the left and right sides of the cover plate; a retaining edge is provided on each of the left and right sides of the front part of the replacement port; a spring is provided in the middle of the cover plate, with only the inner end of the spring connected to the cover plate, making the spring elastic; a backstop edge is provided on the lower part of the outer end of the spring; and ramp sections are provided on each of the left and right sides of the rear part of the replacement port. When the cover plate is inserted into the replacement port from back to front, the two retaining edges will respectively engage with the two U-shaped grooves, and the backstop edge will abut against the two ramp sections. As it is inserted, the backstop edge will be lifted by the two ramp sections. When the left and right sides of the cover plate abut against the two retaining edges, the backstop edge will move away from the two ramp sections and return to its original position. At this time, the two ramp sections can block the outside of the backstop edge and prevent the cover plate from separating from the replacement port.
[0006] Furthermore, in the aforementioned mini lathe motor, the mounting structure of the two end caps is as follows: a connecting shaft arranged along the axial direction of the housing is fixed on the upper and lower sides of the outer wall of the housing, and internal thread holes are provided on both ends of the connecting shaft. The rear end cap is screwed into the internal thread holes of the rear ends of the two connecting shafts by two screws passing through its two sides, and is sealed on the rear end of the housing by two screws passing through its two sides, and is sealed on the front end of the housing by two screws passing through its two sides, and is screwed into the internal thread holes of the front ends of the two connecting shafts.
[0007] Furthermore, in the aforementioned motor for a mini lathe, a locking block is provided on the upper and lower sides of the wiring board, and a slot for the locking block to be engaged is provided on the upper and lower sides of the rear port of the housing.
[0008] Furthermore, in the aforementioned motor for a mini lathe, two limiting posts are provided on the outer end face of the wiring board, and the wire is limited by the two limiting posts before passing through the rear end cover. The rear end cover is provided with holes to allow the two limiting posts to pass through.
[0009] The advantages of this utility model are: the motor for the mini lathe has a compact structure and the position of the capacitor compartment has been optimized, so that the capacitor can be replaced when the carbon brush is replaced, making the motor maintenance more convenient; the carbon brush compartment is usually closed by a screw cap, which requires unscrewing the cap to replace the brush, and the rotation of the cap is relatively troublesome, while the cover plate can be quickly disassembled and assembled, making the replacement of carbon brushes and capacitors faster.
