Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this utility model, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of this utility model.
[0026] Example 1:

The newly designed end cover can be installed with the load by side screw locking through the screw hole group arranged on the side plane, which reduces the axial occupied area and height, making installation convenient. In addition, the tapered hole allows the motor to be clamped and removed using tools or a robot.
[0028] A set of screw holes 111 and tapered holes 112 are respectively arranged on two adjacent side planes 110. The structure is reasonably arranged so that a set of screw holes 111 and tapered holes 112 are evenly distributed on the side planes 110 of the base plate 11.
[0029] The bottom surface of the aforementioned base plate 11 is provided with several heat dissipation fins 113 to improve the heat dissipation effect.
[0030] The bottom surface of the base plate 11 has a protruding cable sleeve portion 114; the bottom surface of the base plate 11 has two protruding capacitor box mounting posts 117, which facilitates installation with capacitor boxes and has a reasonable structural layout.
[0031] A steel sleeve 15 is embedded in the bearing housing 14 located away from the base plate 11. The bearing 100 is installed in the steel sleeve 15 to prevent the bearing housing from deforming due to friction between the bearing and the bearing housing during motor operation, which could lead to a decrease in motor performance and the possibility of failure.
[0032] The top surface of the aforementioned base plate 11 is provided with a number of spaced first annular protrusions 115, and a first annular groove 116 is formed between adjacent first annular protrusions 115, which is a reasonable structural arrangement.
[0033] The base plate 11 is octagonal in shape, and a set of screw holes 111 refers to three screw holes spaced apart.

The end cover 5 is the motor end cover structure described in Embodiment 1 above. The rotating shaft 3 extends into the through hole 13 and is supported and mounted on the bearing 100. The top end of the rotating shaft 3 is connected to the external rotor assembly 2. The stator assembly 4 is installed on the outside of the sleeve 12, and the rotor assembly 2 is fitted over the stator assembly 4. Several second annular protrusions 21 are provided on the end face of the external rotor assembly 2, and a second annular groove 22 is formed between adjacent second annular protrusions 21. The concave-convex fit between the end face of the external rotor assembly 2 and the top surface of the base plate 11 forms a waterproof structure, improving waterproof and dustproof performance.
[0036] The above also includes a capacitor box 6. Two capacitor box mounting posts 117 protrude from the bottom surface of the base plate 11. The capacitor box 6 is mounted on the capacitor box mounting posts 117 with screws. The top of the capacitor box 6 is provided with a wire passage hole 61.

[0037] The edge of the aforementioned wire hole 61 has a protruding water-blocking ring 62, and the top of the capacitor box 6 is provided with a drain hole 63, which can prevent a small amount of water inside the capacitor box from flowing directly into the motor in outdoor environments. The drain hole can drain a small amount of water to the outside of the capacitor box, and the structure is reasonably arranged.
[0038] The above embodiments are preferred embodiments of the present utility model, but the embodiments of the present utility model are not limited thereto. Any changes, modifications, substitutions, combinations, or simplifications made without departing from the spirit and principle of the present utility model are equivalent substitutions and are included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
