[0022] Firstly, this embodiment provides an electrode lead-out device for an electric motor. Figure 1 This is a three-dimensional structural diagram of an electrode lead-out device for an electric motor provided in this embodiment. Figure 2 This is an exploded view of the structure of an electrode lead-out device for an electric motor provided in this embodiment. Figure 3 This is a schematic diagram illustrating the usage state of an electrode lead-out device for a motor provided in this embodiment.
[0023] like Figures 1-3 As shown, the electrode lead-out device 0 for a motor in this embodiment includes an electrode rod 1 and a sealing member 4. The electrode rod 1 includes a first terminal 2 and a second terminal 3. The sealing member 4 is sleeved on the electrode rod 1. The sealing member 4 is located between the first terminal 2 and the second terminal 3. When the electrode rod 1 is inserted into the motor housing 9, the first terminal 2 and the second terminal 3 are located on the inner and outer sides of the housing 9, respectively, and the sealing member 4 can be sealed to the housing 9.
[0024] In some examples, see Figures 1-3 Electrode rod 1 is made of copper. Copper electrodes have good electrical conductivity and are easy to process, allowing for the fabrication of electrodes of various shapes and sizes as needed. Furthermore, copper electrodes can be easily connected to other components via brazing, riveting, or bolting; they also offer good corrosion resistance and are relatively inexpensive, resulting in low cost.
[0025] In some examples, such as Figure 3 As shown, when the electrode rod 1 is inserted into the motor housing 9, the first terminal 2 is located inside the housing 9, and the second terminal 3 is located outside the housing 9. However, it should be noted that in other embodiments, when the electrode rod 1 is inserted into the motor housing 9, the second terminal 3 may also be located inside the housing 9, and the first terminal 2 may be located outside the housing 9. This embodiment does not impose excessive restrictions on this, as long as the installation and usage requirements are met.
[0026] The electrode lead-out device 0 for a motor in this embodiment includes an electrode rod 1 and a sealing member 4. The electrode rod 1 includes a first terminal 2 and a second terminal 3. The sealing member 4 is sleeved on the electrode rod 1. When the electrode rod 1 passes through the motor housing 9, the first terminal 2 and the second terminal 3 are located on the inner and outer sides of the housing 9, respectively, and the sealing member 4 can be sealed to the housing 9. The electrode lead-out device 0 of this embodiment enables the motor's electrode lead-out structure to have a reliable static seal, allowing the motor to operate safely under high pressure while ensuring good power output capability.
[0027] In some embodiments, such as Figures 1-3 As shown, the sealing element 4 includes a conductive end 41, a sleeve 42, and a fixed end 43. The conductive end 41 is sleeved on and fixedly connected to the electrode rod 1. The sleeve 42 is sleeved on the electrode rod 1. The inner wall of the sleeve 42 fits against the outer wall of the electrode rod 1. One end of the sleeve 42 is connected to the conductive end 41. The fixed end 43 is disposed on the sleeve 42. The fixed end 43 is provided with external threads. The fixed end 43 is connected to the housing 9 by a threaded seal.
[0028] In some embodiments, such as Figure 3 As shown, the outer wall of the electrode rod 1 is provided with external threads. The inner wall of the sleeve 42 is provided with internal threads, and the sleeve 42 is sleeved on the electrode rod 1 and connected to the electrode rod 1 through threaded engagement.
[0029] It should be noted that in this embodiment, the conductive end 41, sleeve 42, and fixed end 43 are designed as separate units, which facilitates processing and installation. However, in other embodiments, the conductive end 41, sleeve 42, and fixed end 43 can also be designed as a single-piece structure.
[0030] In this embodiment, the sealing element 4 includes a conductive end 41, a sleeve 42, and a fixed end 43. The conductive end 41 can be welded to the electrode rod 1, thereby making the connection more secure. The sleeve 42 is connected to the conductive end 41, and the fixed end 43 is disposed on the sleeve 42. The fixed end 43 is threaded and tightened to the housing 9, effectively avoiding problems and safety hazards caused by loose connection. In addition, after the fixed end 43 is threaded and tightened to the housing 9, the connection between the fixed end 43 and the housing 9 on the outside of the housing 9 is sealed by argon arc welding, further improving the sealing performance between the two.
[0031] In some embodiments, see Figures 1-3 The conducting end 41 and the fixed end 43 are made of Kovar alloy. The sleeve 42 is made of a composite material of ceramic and Kovar alloy.
[0032] In this embodiment, the conductive end 41 and the fixed end 43 are made of Kovar alloy, which has high strength, corrosion resistance, wear resistance, high temperature resistance, and good processing and welding performance. The sleeve 42 is a composite material of ceramic and Kovar alloy, that is, it is formed by welding Kovar alloy and ceramic parts. The ceramic parts have high hardness and excellent corrosion resistance, while Kovar alloy has good matching performance and is easy to process. The composite component can obtain the excellent properties of both ceramic and metal.
[0033] In some embodiments, such as Figure 3 As shown, the conductive end 41 includes a first stepped hole 411. The first stepped hole 411 penetrates the conductive end 41. The first stepped hole 411 includes a first small-diameter section and a first large-diameter section that are connected to each other. The first small-diameter section is sleeved on the electrode rod 1 and is close to the first terminal 2. The sleeve 42 is inserted into the first large-diameter section.
[0034] In this embodiment, the conductive end 41 includes a first stepped hole 411. The first stepped hole 411 includes a first small-diameter section and a first large-diameter section connected to each other. The inner diameter of the first small-diameter section matches the outer diameter of the electrode rod 1, and the inner diameter of the first large-diameter section matches the outer diameter of the sleeve 42. In this way, the sleeve 42 can be fixed on the electrode rod 1 using the conductive end 41, which facilitates assembly and fixation.
[0035] In some embodiments, such as Figure 2 and 3 As shown, the sleeve 42 includes a first pipe section 421 and a second pipe section 422 that are connected to each other. The outer diameter of the first pipe section 421 is larger than the outer diameter of the second pipe section 422. The end of the first pipe section 421 is inserted into the conductive end 41.
[0036] In this embodiment, the sleeve 42 includes a first pipe section 421 and a second pipe section 422 connected to each other.

The outer diameter of the first pipe section 421 is adapted to the mounting hole diameter on the housing 9, and the outer diameter of the second pipe section 422 is smaller than the mounting hole diameter, which can provide sufficient space for the installation of the fixed end 43.
[0037] In some embodiments, such as Figure 3 As shown, the fixed end 43 includes a second stepped hole 431. The second stepped hole 431 penetrates the fixed end 43. The second stepped hole 431 includes a second large-diameter section and a second small-diameter section that are connected to each other. The fixed end 43 is located at the connection between the first pipe section 421 and the second pipe section 422 of the sleeve 42, and the second large-diameter section is fitted onto the first pipe section 421, and the second small-diameter section is fitted onto the second pipe section 422.
[0038] The fixed end 43 in this embodiment includes a second stepped hole 431, which includes a second large-diameter section and a second small-diameter section connected to each other. The inner diameter of the second large-diameter section is adapted to the outer diameter of the first tube 421, and the inner diameter of the second small-diameter section is adapted to the outer diameter of the second tube section 422. With this arrangement, when the fixed end 43 is tightened to the housing 9 by thread positioning, the sleeve 42 can be pressed against the conductive end 41.
[0039] In some embodiments, such as Figure 2 and 3 As shown, the fixed end 43 also includes a retaining edge 432. The retaining edge 432 is located on the side where the second terminal 3 is located. The retaining edge 432 is used to abut against the outer wall of the housing 9.
[0040] The fixed end 43 in this embodiment also includes a retaining edge 432. When the fixed end 43 is tightened to the housing 9 by thread positioning, the retaining edge 432 can press against the outer wall of the housing 9, further playing a good role in fixing and sealing.
[0041] In some embodiments, such as Figures 1-3 As shown, the electrode rod 1 includes a connector 5. The connector 5 is connected to the end of the electrode rod 1. The connector 5 is cylindrical. A cut surface 51 is provided on the side wall of the connector 5. The cut surface 51 is parallel to the axis of the connector 5. A threaded hole 52 is provided on the cut surface 51. The first terminal 2 is fixed to the cut surface 51 by engaging the screw 6 with the threaded hole 52.
[0042] In this embodiment, the first terminal 2 is fixed to the electrode rod 1 by the cooperation of the connector 5 and the engagement screw 6. The side wall of the connector 5 is provided with a cut surface 51, which increases the contact area between the first terminal 2 and the connector 5, which is conducive to ensuring good motor power output.
[0043] In some embodiments, such as Figure 1 and 3 As shown, the electrode rod 1 includes a first nut 7 and a second nut 8. A second terminal 3 is sleeved on the electrode rod 1 and located between the first nut 7 and the second nut 8. The first nut 7 and the second nut 8 clamp and fix the second terminal 3 to the electrode rod 1.
[0044] In this embodiment, the second terminal 3 is clamped and fixed on the electrode rod 1 by the cooperation of the first nut 7 and the second nut 8, which facilitates installation and disassembly, ensuring connection strength and maintaining good motor power output.
[0045] Secondly, this embodiment also provides an electric motor for a helium compressor.

Figure 4As shown, the motor housing 9 of this embodiment includes at least one electrode lead-out hole. Each electrode lead-out hole is provided with the aforementioned electrode lead-out device 0 for the motor.
[0046] In this embodiment, the casing of the helium compressor includes three electrode lead-out holes. Each electrode lead-out hole is provided with the aforementioned electrode lead-out device 0 for the motor. The three electrode lead-out devices 0 have the same shape and size, and their structural dimensions are determined according to the motor power.
