Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of motor technology, and more particularly to a vertical motor with a dual oil passage direct-through structure. Background Technology

[0002] Industrial motors require their shafts to rotate for extended periods during operation, and their bearings are used for long periods as well. Therefore, bearing lubrication becomes particularly important. Most industrial motor bearings are lubricated with grease, which requires the regular injection of new grease and the removal of waste grease.

[0003] The existing oil injection and drainage methods mainly include the following:

[0004] 1. Passive sealing and leak prevention device: An oil seal, O-ring or labyrinth seal groove is installed between the motor end cover and the shaft, which relies on the deformation of elastic material or the tortuous channel to prevent lubricating oil from leaking out.

[0005] II. Intermittent manual oil draining scheme: By setting radial oil drain holes on the bearing sleeve and leading out an oil drain pipe, waste oil is periodically drained.

[0006] 3. Configure a small gear pump or peristaltic pump, driven by an independent motor, to forcefully extract waste oil from the bearing chamber to an external oil tank.

[0007] However, in practical use, passive sealing only prevents oil leakage and cannot drain the oxidized and deteriorated oil and wear debris mixture from the bearing housing, leading to bearing lubrication failure and increased wear rate. Intermittent manual oil draining requires machine shutdown and cannot handle continuous operation scenarios; manual maintenance is difficult and incomplete, easily resulting in leakage of waste oil, which carbonizes into sludge and blocks the bearing raceway. Active pumping oil draining requires an additional power source, increasing energy consumption; its complex structure and high cost lead to pump failure and interruption of oil draining, reducing system reliability. Moreover, currently, there are two main installation methods for low-speed, high-torque vertical motors. Due to the different directions of gravity, the flow direction of lubricating oil is also different, requiring separate design of bearing housing oil draining circuits for the above solutions, resulting in poor versatility.

[0008] Therefore, it is necessary to develop a vertical motor with a dual oil circuit direct-through structure to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

When the lubricating oil needs to be discharged, it is discharged through the oil pipe 6.

[0052] Another type is designed with the extended end facing down and the tail end facing up. When the lubricating oil needs to be changed, the new lubricating oil is injected through the second oil injection hole 237, passes through the through hole 241 and enters the cavity formed by the tight fit between the bearing inner cover 22 and the bearing sleeve 24, the inner cover groove 222 and the connecting groove 227, and then seeps into the gap between the bearing body 21 and the rotating shaft 11, and enters the cavity formed by the tight fit between the bearing outer cover 23 and the bearing sleeve 24, the outer cover groove 232, to complete the lubrication of the bearing. When the lubricating oil needs to be discharged, it is discharged through the first oil injection hole 236.

[0053] This utility model relates to a vertical motor with a dual-oil-circuit direct-flow structure. The dual oil circuits enable efficient oil injection and waste oil discharge, preventing oil buildup and lubrication failure. It is compatible with two vertical installation methods, offering strong versatility. No additional power source is required, reducing energy consumption and costs, and oil can be drained without stopping the machine, adapting to continuous operation. Multiple sealing and flow-guiding designs enhance operational stability and reduce maintenance requirements.
