Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of electric motor maintenance technology, and more specifically, to an auxiliary tool for installing electric motor fan blades. Background Technology
[0002] As a core power device in modern industry, asynchronous motors are widely used in critical scenarios such as production lines, large machinery, and lifting operations. Whether driving heavy machine tools or ensuring the stable operation of automated systems, their reliability directly affects the efficiency and safety of industrial production. In the daily maintenance and repair of motors, the installation of fan blades is a crucial aspect that cannot be overlooked—it not only concerns equipment heat dissipation but is also closely related to the long-term stable operation of the motor.
[0003] However, since electric motor fans are typically mounted at the rear of the motor, a position close to the end cover maximizes heat dissipation efficiency and ensures a secure hold. But in practice, technicians often encounter a tricky problem: during installation, the motor shaft gradually extends, causing the fan blades to lose their grip and the installation process is no longer complete. Traditional installation methods often rely on readily available materials, using adjustable wrenches, screwdriver handles, or other tools as temporary supports between the fan blades and the copper rod. While this method is flexible and simple, it lacks professional technical considerations, leading to uneven force on both sides of the fan blades during installation. This results in the fan blades being tilted and making abnormal noises during operation. If the temporary tools become unstable and fall, it can damage the fan blades or even cause injury.
[0004] Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop an auxiliary tool that is more conducive to the accurate and efficient installation of electric motor fan blades. Summary of the Invention
[0005] The technical problem this utility model aims to solve is that during the maintenance and installation of electric motors, issues such as the inability of fan blades to bear force, uneven force distribution, and the instability and fall of tools and equipment arise.
[0006] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model provides an auxiliary tool for installing electric motor fan blades, comprising: a fixed rod with a cavity in the middle, a ball bearing positioning component, the ball bearing positioning component having a tapered portion with a radially decreasing outer diameter, and pairs of opposing ball bearing locking holes on the side wall of the fixed rod, with a ball bearing between the ball bearing locking hole and the tapered portion, the ball bearing having a diameter larger than the ball bearing locking hole, wherein the ball bearing positioning component and the fixed rod are coaxially arranged, and when the ball bearing positioning component moves axially to change its position relative to the fixed rod, the ball bearing can protrude out of the fixed rod through the ball bearing locking hole or move into the cavity of the fixed rod; and an adjustable slider, the adjustable slider comprising a support rod and a fixed part, the fixed part being fixedly connected to the support rod, the fixed part having a through hole passing through the fixed rod, and the through hole being... Inside the hole, a pair of grooves corresponding to the ball bearings are arranged. When the ball bearings move into the cavity of the fixed rod, the fixing part is fitted onto the fixed rod. When the fixed rod reaches the appropriate position, the ball bearing positioning part is moved, causing the ball bearings to protrude from the fixed rod and press against the groove, thereby fixing the rod and the support rod. The support rods are arranged in pairs to clamp the motor fan blade to be installed. The relative position of the fixing part is adjusted so that the center formed by the two support rods is aligned with the center of the fan blade. The two support rods clamp the motor fan blade to be installed, ensuring that the semi-cylinders of the fixed sliders on both sides can make complete contact with the fan blade. The contact area is large and stable, while there is sufficient space in the middle, so that the motor shaft can extend smoothly and the fan blade is subjected to uniform force, which facilitates the accurate installation of the motor fan blade.

[0008] According to an embodiment of the present invention, an unlocking button can be provided at the other end of the fixing rod, which is fixedly connected to the other end of the tapered part and protrudes from the other section of the surface of the fixing rod. This facilitates the movement of the ball into the cavity of the fixing rod by pressing the unlocking button, or the release of the unlocking button by the spring pushing the tapered part to make the ball protrude from the fixing rod.
[0009] According to an embodiment of this utility model, the cross-section of the support rod can be a minor arc.
[0010] According to an embodiment of this utility model, the support rod can be arranged in a direction perpendicular to the fixed rod.
[0011] According to an embodiment of the present invention, the length of the support rod in the direction perpendicular to the fixed rod may be greater than that of the fixed part.
[0012] According to embodiments of this utility model, the ball bearings are arranged in pairs as a group, and two or more groups of ball bearings are provided. Preferably, two to eight groups of ball bearings are provided. More preferably, three to six groups of ball bearings are provided. Even more preferably, four groups of ball bearings are provided. The specific arrangement is not limited to these, and can be determined by the user according to actual needs.
[0013] Compared with the prior art, the technical solution provided by the embodiments of this utility model can achieve at least the following beneficial effects:
[0014] The auxiliary tool for installing electric motor fan blades according to this utility model can effectively solve the problems of random installation of electric motor fan blades, uneven force on both sides during installation due to lack of special tools, abnormal noise during operation of the fan blades, and the risk of damage to the fan blades or even personal injury if the temporary tool becomes unstable and falls.

[0027] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the auxiliary tools for mounting the motor fan blades include: a fixing rod 1 and an adjustable slider 2.
[0028] The fixed rod 1 has a cavity in the middle and is equipped with a ball bearing 3 positioning component. The ball bearing 3 positioning component has a tapered portion 8 with a radially decreasing outer diameter. Pairs of opposing ball bearing positioning holes 11 are provided on the side wall of the fixed rod 1. A ball bearing 3 is arranged between the ball bearing positioning hole 11 and the tapered portion 8. The diameter of the ball bearing 3 is larger than that of the ball bearing positioning hole 11. The ball bearing positioning component 11 and the fixed rod 1 are coaxially arranged. When the ball bearing positioning component 11 moves axially to change its position relative to the fixed rod 1, the ball bearing 3 can protrude out of the fixed rod 1 through the ball bearing positioning hole 11 or move into the cavity of the fixed rod 1.
[0029] The adjustable slider 2 includes a support rod 21 and a fixing part 22. The fixing part 22 is fixedly connected to the support rod 21. The fixing part 22 has a through hole through the fixing rod 1, and the inside of the through hole is provided with a pair of grooves 23 corresponding to the balls 3. When the balls 3 move into the cavity of the fixing rod 1, the fixing rod 1 is sleeved on the fixing rod 1. When the fixing rod 1 is in a suitable position, the positioning member of the balls 3 is moved so that the balls 3 protrude out of the fixing rod 1 and press against the grooves 23, thereby fixing the rod 1 and the support rod 21.
[0030] The support rods 21 are arranged in pairs to clamp the motor fan blades to be installed. The relative position of the fixing part 22 is adjusted so that the center formed by the two support rods 21 is aligned with the center of the fan blade. The two support rods 21 clamp the motor fan blades to be installed, ensuring that the semi-cylinders of the fixed sliders on both sides can fully contact the fan blades. The contact area is large and stable, while there is sufficient space in the middle, so that the motor shaft can extend smoothly and the fan blades are subjected to uniform force, which facilitates the accurate installation of the motor fan blades.
[0031] The auxiliary tool for installing electric motor fan blades according to this utility model can effectively solve the problems of random installation of electric motor fan blades, uneven force on both sides during installation due to lack of special tools, abnormal noise during operation of the fan blades, and the risk of damage to the fan blades or even personal injury if the temporary tool becomes unstable and falls. It makes the electric motor fan blades accurate and efficient.
[0032] Figure 5a -c is a schematic diagram showing the engagement of the adjustable slider and ball bearing fixing assembly according to an embodiment of the present invention.
[0033] like Figure 5a As shown in -c, the fixing rod 1 has two ends. A spring 4 is installed inside one end, and one end of the tapered portion 8 is pressed onto the spring 4. An unlocking button 5 is installed at the other end of the fixing rod 1, fixedly connected to the other end of the tapered portion 8, and protrudes from the other section of the fixing rod 1. This allows the ball bearing 3 to move into the cavity of the fixing rod 1 by pressing the unlocking button 5, so that the adjustable slider 2 can be installed, or as... Figure 5b As shown, when the unlock button 5 is released, the spring 4 pushes the tapered part 8, causing the ball 3 to protrude from the fixed rod 1, thus fixing the adjustable slider 2. Figure 5c As shown, press the unlock button 5 again to remove the adjustable slider 2.
[0034] According to one or more embodiments of the present invention, the cross-section of the support rod 21 is a minor arc.
[0035] According to one or more embodiments of the present invention, the support rod 21 is arranged in a direction perpendicular to the fixed rod 1.
[0036] According to one or more embodiments of the present invention, the length of the support rod 21 in the direction perpendicular to the fixed rod 1 is greater than that of the fixed part 22.
[0037] According to one or more embodiments of this utility model, the ball bearings 3 are arranged in pairs as a group, and two or more groups of ball bearings 3 are provided. Preferably, two to eight groups of ball bearings 3 are provided. More preferably, three to six groups of ball bearings 3 are provided. More preferably, four groups of ball bearings 3 are provided. The specific arrangement is not limited to these, and can be determined by the user according to actual needs.
[0038] This utility model provides a motor fan blade installation tool, comprising a fixed rod 1 and two adjustable sliders 2 on both sides. The adjustable sliders 2 can be flexibly selected according to the size of different fan blades. The adjustable sliders 2 are hollowed out, with grooves 23 cleverly left at the top and bottom to cooperate with the ball bearings 3 of the fixed rod 1. The fixed sliders 2 and the ball bearings 3 fixing group cooperate with each other to realize the locking / unlocking of the adjustable sliders 2 and the fixed rod 1. The fixed rod 1 is also hollow inside, and the ball bearings 3 fixing group is installed inside. The ball bearings 3 fixing group includes a number of balls 3 and a spring 4 on the right side. The balls 3 can move in the preset slots to realize the locking / unlocking of the adjustable sliders 2 on both sides.
[0039] Figure 6a -b is a schematic diagram showing an auxiliary tool for mounting electric motor fan blades according to an embodiment of the present invention; Figure 7 This is a schematic diagram of the motor fan blades to be installed.
[0040] like Figure 6a As shown in -b, when using it, select the appropriate adjustable slider 2 according to the size of different fan blades, and ensure that the two fixed sliders on both sides are the same size and placed in a mirror-symmetrical manner. Pick up the fixed rod 1 and press the unlock / lock button 5. At this time, the ball bearing 3 inside the fixed rod 1 is unlocked and can move freely. Take out the prepared fixed sliders on both sides, insert them into the fixed rod 1, and then release the unlock / lock button 5. At this time, under the pushing force of the internal elastic spring 4, the ball bearing 3 inside the fixed rod 1 is pushed out and stuck in the groove 23 of the fixed rod 1 and the adjustable slider 2, and cannot move. At this time, the assembly of the installation tool is completed.
[0041] The installation tool is then placed over the motor fan blades, aligning their centers to ensure complete contact between the semi-cylinders of the fixed sliders on both sides and the fan blades 6. The contact area is large and stable, while sufficient space is left in the middle to allow the motor shaft to extend smoothly. Then, two people work together, one holding the installation tool steady and the other tapping it with a copper rod 7. The installation tool will evenly transmit the thrust to the fan blades 6, allowing them to move smoothly to the installation position under the force. This solves the technical problems of inconvenience and poor reliability of traditional installation methods caused by the extension of the motor tail shaft.
[0042] After installation, press the unlock / lock button 5 again. At this time, the ball bearing 3 inside the fixed rod 1 will be unlocked, and the adjustable slider 2 can move freely and be removed.
[0043] The auxiliary tool for installing electric motor fan blades according to this utility model has high application value and feasibility, and can be widely promoted and applied within the system.
[0044] The above description is merely an exemplary embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the scope of protection of the present utility model. The scope of protection of the present utility model is determined by the appended claims.
