Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of solar tracking motor technology, specifically to a waterproof and breathable structure for a solar tracking motor. Background Technology

[0002] In solar power systems, solar tracking motors play a crucial role by adjusting the angle of solar panels in real time to ensure they are facing the sun as directly as possible, thereby improving solar energy capture efficiency. However, since most solar power systems are installed outdoors, the motors are exposed to the elements for extended periods, presenting numerous challenges.

[0003] Existing solar tracking motors can be classified into sealed, airtight types and open-end, ventilated types based on their sealing performance. To ensure heat dissipation when the motor drives the solar photovoltaic panel, the open-end, ventilated type is usually used. However, when it rains, rainwater will enter the motor through the open end, causing corrosion and damage to the motor's internal components, thus reducing its performance. Therefore, improvements are needed. Utility Model Content

[0004] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this utility model provides a waterproof and breathable structure for a solar tracking motor. Through multiple waterproof designs, the waterproof capability is significantly improved. The sealing sleeve and sealing ring between the protective shell and the motor body form a double seal to prevent water seepage at the connection points. The waterproof and breathable membrane inside the air inlet prevents water from entering, and the drainage channel drains accumulated water inside, thus solving the problem of water easily entering the motor.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0006] The waterproof and breathable structure of the solar tracking motor includes a motor body, one end of which is provided with a protective shell through a connecting mechanism. Multiple air inlets are evenly opened on the outer surface of one end of the protective shell, a sealing element is provided inside the protective shell, and a filtering mechanism is provided inside the protective shell.

[0007] The connecting mechanism includes connecting plates that are fixedly installed in a circular array at one end of the protective shell. Bolts are threaded into the connecting plates, and threaded holes are provided on the motor body. One end of the bolts passes through the connecting plates and is threaded into the threaded holes.

[0008] The sealing element includes a sealing sleeve fixedly installed on the inner surface of one end of the protective shell. The inner surface of the sealing sleeve is in close contact with the outer wall of the motor body. An annular plate is fixedly installed inside the protective shell. A sealing ring is fixedly installed on the side of the annular plate near the sealing sleeve, and one side of the sealing ring is in close contact with one end of the motor body.

[0009] The filtration mechanism includes two mounting plates fixedly installed inside the protective shell, with a mounting frame between the two mounting plates. One end of the mounting frame penetrates the protective shell, and a filter screen is installed inside the mounting frame. Slider blocks are fixedly installed on both sides of the top of the mounting frame. Slide grooves are opened on opposite sides of the two mounting plates, and the two sliders can slide in the two slide grooves respectively. Threaded posts are fixedly installed on the top of the two sliders, and the top ends of the two threaded posts penetrate the protective shell. Locking elements are provided on the two threaded posts.

[0010] Preferably, the locking element is a nut screwed onto the two threaded posts respectively, and a waterproof and breathable membrane is provided in each of the multiple air inlets.

[0011] Preferably, a plurality of flow guide grooves are uniformly formed on the inner surface of one end of the protective shell.

[0012] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following advantages:

[0013] 1. The waterproof capability is significantly improved through multiple waterproof designs. The sealing sleeve and sealing ring between the protective shell and the motor body form a double seal to prevent water leakage at the connection point. The waterproof and breathable membrane in the air inlet prevents water from entering, and the guide groove drains the internal water, solving the problem of water entering the motor.

[0014] 2. While ensuring waterproofing, the system optimizes breathability and filtration performance. The air inlet ensures airflow to meet heat dissipation requirements, the filter screen filters impurities, and the mounting frame allows for easy assembly and disassembly via sliders, grooves, threaded posts, and nuts, facilitating maintenance. It balances breathability and heat dissipation with impurity protection, extending the motor's service life. Attached Figure Description

[0023] The technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present invention.

[0024] like Figure 1-7 As shown, this utility model provides a waterproof and breathable structure for a solar tracking motor, including a motor body 1 (the motor body 1 is prior art, and its specific structure and principle will not be described in this utility model).

[0025] One end of the motor body 1 is provided with a protective shell 2 through a connecting mechanism. Multiple air inlets 3 are evenly opened on the outer surface of one end of the protective shell 2. A sealing element is provided inside the protective shell 2. A filter mechanism is provided inside the protective shell 2. The surface of the protective shell 2 can be sprayed with an anti-ultraviolet coating to enhance its corrosion resistance.

[0026] like Figure 1 As shown, the connecting mechanism includes a connecting plate 4 fixedly installed in a circular array at one end of the protective shell 2. Bolts 5 are threaded into the connecting plate 4. The motor body 1 is provided with threaded holes. One end of the bolt 5 passes through the connecting plate 4 and is threaded into the threaded hole.

[0027] The detachable threaded connection allows for a secure assembly of the protective shell 2 and the motor body 1, while also facilitating the maintenance or replacement of internal components (such as filters and seals) in the future, ensuring the maintainability of the structure.

[0028] like Figure 2-3 As shown, the sealing element includes a sealing sleeve 6 fixedly installed on the inner surface of one end of the protective shell 2. The inner surface of the sealing sleeve 6 is in close contact with the outer wall of the motor body 1. An annular plate 7 is fixedly installed inside the protective shell 2. A sealing ring 8 is fixedly installed on the side of the annular plate 7 near the sealing sleeve 6, and one side of the sealing ring 8 is in close contact with one end of the motor body 1.

[0029] Enhance the sealing of the connection between the protective shell 2 and the motor body 1 to prevent external rainwater, moisture or impurities from seeping into the motor body 1 from the connection between the two, make up for the gaps and defects that may occur during the assembly of the connection mechanism, and improve the overall waterproof performance.

[0030] like Figure 3-5As shown, the filtration mechanism includes two mounting plates 9 fixedly installed inside the protective shell 2. A mounting frame 10 is provided between the two mounting plates 9, and one end of the mounting frame 10 penetrates the protective shell 2. A filter screen 11 is provided inside the mounting frame 10. Slider blocks 12 are fixedly installed on both sides of the top of the mounting frame 10. A sliding groove 13 is provided on the opposite side of the two mounting plates 9, and the two sliders 12 can slide in the two sliding grooves 13 respectively. A threaded post 14 is fixedly installed on the top of the two sliders 12. The top of the two threaded posts 14 penetrates the protective shell 2, and a locking element is provided on the two threaded posts 14.

[0031] The pull-out mounting frame 10 design allows for easy installation and removal of the filter 11, facilitating regular cleaning or replacement to ensure filtration effectiveness. The filter 11 filters dust, particulate matter, and other impurities from the air, preventing them from entering the motor body 1 and causing wear or malfunction.

[0032] like Figure 5 As shown, the locking element is a nut 15 screwed onto two threaded posts 14 respectively. A waterproof and breathable membrane 16 is provided in each of the multiple air inlets 3. The waterproof and breathable membrane 16 can be glued to the inner wall of the air inlet 3.

[0033] Nut 15 enhances the stability of the mounting frame 10 and prevents it from loosening during motor operation vibration; waterproof and breathable membrane 16 ensures the ventilation function of air inlet 3 while directly blocking external rainwater from entering the interior of the protective shell 2 through the air inlet, thereby improving the waterproof capability of the air inlet channel.

[0034] like Figure 6 As shown, multiple guide grooves 17 are evenly formed on the inner surface of one end of the protective shell 2, and a rubber plug (not shown in the figure) is provided at the end of the guide groove 17.

[0035] The small amount of water that accumulates inside the protective shell 2 is drained to prevent water from flowing freely inside the protective shell and seeping into the motor body 1, thereby further improving the waterproof reliability of the structure.

[0036] The working principle of this utility model is as follows:

[0037] In use, the protective shell 2 is securely connected to the motor body 1 via a connecting mechanism (connecting plate 4, bolt 5). The bolt 5 passes through the connecting plate 4 and is screwed into the threaded hole of the motor body 1 to ensure that the relative position of the protective shell 2 and the motor body 1 is fixed, providing a foundation for the installation of subsequent functional components. At this time, the connection between the protective shell 2 and the motor body 1 is reinforced with double sealing to enhance waterproofness. The sealing sleeve 6 is in close contact with the outer wall of the motor body 1 to block radial gaps. The sealing ring 8 on the annular plate 7 is in close contact with one end of the motor body 1 to block axial gaps and prevent water from seeping in from the connection. External air enters through the air inlet 3 of the protective shell 2. The waterproof and breathable membrane 16 inside the air inlet 3 first blocks liquid water and only allows air molecules to pass through. Then the air flows through the filtration mechanism. The filter screen 11 in the mounting frame 10 filters dust, particulate matter and other impurities in the air. The purified air enters the interior of the protective shell 2 and finally connects with the motor body 1 to achieve ventilation and heat dissipation of the motor.

[0038] When the filter screen 11 needs to be cleaned or replaced, loosen the nut 15 on the threaded post 14, and slide the slider 12 in the groove 13 of the mounting plate 9 to pull the mounting frame 10 out of the protective shell 2. The operation is convenient and ensures the long-term stability of the filtration effect.

[0039] If a small amount of condensation or minor leakage enters the protective shell 2, the guide groove 17 on its inner wall will guide the water to a specific location, which can be discharged periodically through the rubber plug, preventing water from seeping into the motor body 1.

[0040] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
