Title: Electric motor

description

The invention relates to an electric motor having a housing and a rotor which is mounted in the housing via a fixed / floating bearing, wherein a deep groove ball bearing with an inner ring and an outer ring is provided as a fixed bearing and the outer ring of the fixed bearing by means of a spring steel disc in the housing elastically clamped is.

The shape of the spring steel disc according to the invention is known per se,

especially in spherical bearings such components are used regularly. An essential difference to the genus of the invention is that with spherical bearings, the shaft exerts no axial moment on the bearing. On the other hand, a large axial load can be transmitted to the bearing in a firmly pressed with the shaft inner ring of a deep groove ball bearing, especially in vibration and impact load.

The object of the invention is to define a deep groove ball bearings with simple means, with as few process steps and few components safely and permanently in a deep-drawn steel housing. This object is achieved by the features of claim 1.

It is proposed that the housing is a deep-drawn steel housing (10) or a deep-drawn steel housing pot, the spring steel disc (5) is hardened, the hardness of the spring steel disc (5) is greater than the hardness of the deep-drawn steel housing (10) and the spring steel disc (5 ) has the form of a clamping ring, which in the region radially outside the outer ring (9) has a

closed ring with radially inwardly directed spring arms (2) which act on the outer ring (9) so that each spring arm (2) with an axial and a radial force component acts on the outer ring (9). Due to the different degrees of hardness of the joining partners, the spring steel disc can (5) dig in a force against the joining direction in the deep-drawn steel housing (10) and find a secure fit. The outer ring (9) of the deep groove ball bearing (8) is mounted axially movable in the steel housing (10) and is held only by the spring steel disc (5). When a force against the joining direction against an axial and radial force component acts on the spring arms (2), whereby these, depending on the amount of force, more or less deflect, whereby the distance between adjacent ends of the spring arms (2) increases slightly. With a closed ring, this effect would lead to breakage of the hardened component. Since the indicated frictional connection has proven to be sufficiently strong, no additional security elements or forming operations are required. Thus, a very simple and effective attachment of the deep groove ball bearing (8) is given.

Further developments of the invention are presented in the subclaims.

It is particularly advantageous if the steel housing (10) is galvanized. The

Zinc layer, which is very thin after deep drawing, nevertheless causes the holding force of the spring steel disc (5) in the steel housing (10) to increase significantly.

It is further claimed that the steel housing (10) has a plurality of cascade-like recesses (1 1, 12, 13) and a first recess (1 1) is radially bounded by a first cylinder jacket (21) and for receiving the spring steel disc (5). This recess (1 1) is dimensioned in diameter so that it is sufficient for receiving the spring steel disc (5).

In addition, it is proposed that the steel housing (10) has a second recess (12) defined radially by a second cylinder jacket (22) whose inside diameter is smaller than the inside diameter of the first recess (11) and in that the second recess (12 ) for receiving the deep groove ball bearing (8). The diameter of the second recess (12) differs from the diameter of the first recess (1 1) so that the spring arms (2) extend radially into the region of the second recess (12), so that the outer ring (9) of the deep groove ball bearing (8) by the spring arms (2) can be held in the axial direction. Finally, it is expedient that the steel housing (10) has a third recess (13), which is bounded radially by a third cylinder jacket (23) and whose inner diameter is smaller than the inner diameter of the second

Cylinder shell (22). This recess (13) is designed so that a cap (1 6) is securely mounted. A cap (16) may be required if a housing opening is required to allow access for an assembly tool for pressing the inner ring onto a motor shaft.

It is particularly important that the outer ring (9) of the deep groove ball bearing (8) axially has a greater dimension than the depth of the second recess (12). Only then is a backlash-free recording of the outer ring (9) in the second recess (12) possible.

Advantageously, it is provided that the spring steel disc (5) rests in the mounted state in the axial direction on a stop (6). The axial position of the stop (6) is decisive for the bias with which the spring arms (2) act on the outer ring (9). Thereby, also due to the dimensional tolerances, the joining partner a definable force within calculable tolerance limits possible.

It is provided that the spring steel disc (5) has a cone-shaped clamping region (4), with which it claws in the mounted state on the inner wall of the first cylinder jacket (21) of the steel housing (10). The hold of the spring steel disc (5) in the steel housing (10) increases in a force against the joining direction due to geometric

Laws, because in the situation shown, the cone-shaped clamping region (4) is urged radially outward, whereby the adhesion is reinforced.

It is expressly claimed that the deep groove ball bearing (8) is held exclusively by the frictional connection of the spring steel disc (5) with the steel housing (10) in order to meet the object of the invention.

Another important advantage of the invention is that the deep groove ball bearing (8) by the spring arms (2) is elastically held. This allows Radial loads are cushioned without a permanent deformation occurs.

Last but not least, it makes sense that a force directed axially from the outer ring (9) of the deep groove ball bearing (8) towards the spring arms (2) in the dismounting direction increases the force acting radially on the first cylinder jacket (21) from the clamping area (4).

It has been shown that the spring arms (2) of the spring steel disc (5) in

unmounted state relative to the disk plane should be inclined by 25 ° to 35 ° that the clamping region (4) of the spring steel disc (5) should be inclined in the unassembled state relative to the disk plane by 35 ° to 45 ° and that the outer diameter of the clamping region (4) the spring steel disc (5) should be in the unmounted state 2% to 4% larger than the inner diameter of the first cylinder jacket (21) to effect an optimal holding force of the spring steel disc (5) and an optimal elastic support of the deep groove ball bearing (8).

The invention also includes such housing, which has more than said number of recesses (1 1, 12, 13). In this case, the term "first depression" would mean the depression in which the spring steel disc (5) is received.

An embodiment of the invention will be explained in more detail with reference to an example. Show it:

An outer clamping region 4 is tapered cone-shaped. A middle stop ring portion 3 is aligned in the mounted state perpendicular to a motor shaft. Inner spring arms 2 form part surfaces of a conical surface in their entirety. The spring arms 2 are separated by slot-like recesses 14. The recesses 14 extend into the stop ring area 3.

Fig. 3 shows an assembly drawing with the steel housing 10, the

Deep groove ball bearing 8 and the spring steel disc 5. As can be clearly seen, the deep groove ball bearing 8 protrudes from the second recess 12, so that the

Spring steel plate 5 with its spring arms 2 rests on an edge of an outer ring 9 of the deep groove ball bearing 8 and can exert a radial and an axial force component on the outer ring 9. The spring steel disc 5 is in a first

Well 1 1 and the deep groove ball bearing 8 is in a second recess 12th

added. The spring steel disc 5 is clamped with its clamping region 4 on the first cylinder jacket 21 (see FIG. 1). To make this possible, is the

Spring steel disc 5 cured so that its material is harder compared to the steel housing 10. With its stop ring area 3, the spring steel disc 5 bears against the stop 6 of the steel housing 10.
