AI Technical Summary
When a traditional motor shaft is installed horizontally, water can easily accumulate in the front end cover shaft hole and the gap between the shaft and the water baffle, leading to water ingress and motor failure.
The design incorporates a water-blocking ring, comprising an installation section and a water-blocking section. The installation section is fitted onto the bearing housing, while the water-blocking section is flared. Both the installation section and the water-blocking section have openings on one side and a shaft hole in the middle. A horizontal blocking washer is installed on the rotating shaft, covering the shaft extension hole. Combining the water-blocking ring and the horizontal blocking washer structure, when the motor shaft is installed horizontally, the opening faces downwards, preventing rainwater from entering.
It effectively prevents rainwater from entering the motor, ensuring motor performance and extending motor life.
