AI Technical Summary
Traditional external rotor permanent magnet motor drives are prone to failures such as loose components, cracked solder joints, and broken circuit boards under vibration. Existing vibration reduction solutions have insufficient damping performance under high-frequency vibration, resulting in reduced reliability and service life.
The drive unit is connected to the fan motor bracket using rubber soft claws. A pre-compressed elastic connection is formed by bolt assembly. The elastic deformation of the rubber soft claws reduces vibration transmission. Combined with an isolation coating, it prevents oil stain corrosion. The drive unit body uses a waist-shaped hole to allow thermal expansion and contraction.
It significantly improves damping performance, reduces vibration transmission rate, extends the service life of rubber soft claws, avoids stress concentration, and improves the reliability and service life of the actuator.

Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of motor drive technology, specifically an installation structure for an external rotor permanent magnet motor driver. Background Technology
[0002] Permanent magnet synchronous motors (PMSMs) are synchronous motors that use permanent magnets to establish a magnetic field. They are characterized by their small size, high efficiency, and high power factor. Their rotors are made of permanent magnet materials, allowing them to operate without external excitation. Energy conversion is achieved through the synchronous interaction of the stator's rotating magnetic field and the rotor's magnetic field. Compared to traditional asynchronous motors, they offer significantly improved energy efficiency (by more than 10%) under light load conditions, and also boast higher power and torque densities.
[0003] External rotor permanent magnet motors generate strong vibrations during fan operation. Traditional drives are directly fixed to the motor or fan base via rigid brackets, causing vibration energy to be directly transferred to the drive. The internal electronic components are subjected to prolonged mechanical stress, which can easily lead to component loosening, solder joint cracking, and circuit board breakage, significantly reducing the drive's reliability and lifespan. Existing vibration damping solutions use ordinary rubber pads, but due to their lack of pre-compression design and simple structure, their damping performance is insufficient under high-frequency vibration environments, resulting in limited vibration reduction effects.

[0035] Example 1:
[0036] like Figure 1-4 As shown, this mounting structure includes a drive body 1, a fan bracket 2, a bolt assembly 3, and a rubber soft claw 4; the assembly process of the rubber soft claw 4 is as follows:
[0037] 1. Pre-treatment: Press a metal bushing into the mounting hole of the fan bracket 2, and machine an oblong hole in the mounting partition 101 at the bottom of the driver body 1;
[0038] 2. Positioning rubber soft claws: Place three rubber soft claws 4 on the mounting holes of the fan bracket 2, with their insulating coating 201 facing the driver side;
[0039] 3. Centering connection: The mounting plate 101 of the driver body 1 is pressed down to make the positioning hole 102 coaxial with the hollow hole of the rubber soft claw 4;
[0040] 4. Pre-compression fixing: Take the M6 bolts and pass them through the waist-shaped holes of the fan bracket 2-rubber soft claw 4-installation partition 101 in sequence. After adding the flat washer, tighten the nut. Control the torque wrench to 15 N·m. The rubber soft claw 4 is compressed to a height of 9 mm.
[0041] 5. Uniform reinforcement: Repeat steps 2-4 to complete the installation of the remaining two rubber soft claws by evenly distributing points around the 120° circumference.
[0042] Furthermore, the vibration damping mechanism of the mounting structure of the external rotor permanent magnet motor driver was verified:
[0043] When the fan is running at 2000 rpm, the vibration energy is transmitted to the bolt assembly 3 through the fan support 2;
[0044] The pre-compressed rubber soft claw 4 elastic body 202 undergoes radial / axial deformation, and the isolation coating 201 prevents oil stains from penetrating;
[0045] The accelerometer of the actuator body 1 showed that the vibration amplitude dropped from 12g to 5g in the rigid connection.
[0046] Example 2:
[0047] For certain high-temperature applications, a high-temperature resistant variant design for this mounting structure is required to adapt to different operational needs. Specific replacement options for this mounting structure are as follows:
[0048] The material of the rubber soft claw 4 is replaced with silicone rubber, which effectively improves its Shore hardness; the isolation coating 201 is thickened to 0.5mm, and the temperature resistance is improved to 150℃; the waist-shaped hole is arranged along the thermal expansion axis in the length direction, allowing ±0.8mm thermal displacement.
[0049] In actual use, this replacement part can maintain a stable working state for a long time, while the internal rubber soft claw 4 can ensure a stable compression rebound rate without cracking.
[0050] Example 3:
[0051] For applications requiring high-power motors for power supply, necessitating the use of high-power fans, the specific replacement solution for this installation structure is as follows:
[0052] The number of rubber soft claws has increased to 6, evenly distributed in a 60° circle;
[0053] The elastic body 202 is made of neoprene rubber and filled with carbon black to enhance damping.
[0054] The compression deformation increased to 12%, and the preload torque was increased to 20 N·m;
[0055] Results: At 2500rpm, the stress on the driver PCB board decreased from 180MPa to 75MPa, and there were zero failures at the chip solder joints.
