Abstract

A motor, a rotor and a sleeve are provided. The motor includes a stator and a rotor which includes a shaft, a rotor core, a sleeve, a commutator, and a rotor winding wound on the rotor core. The sleeve is arranged between the rotor core and the commutator. The sleeve includes a first end portion close to the commutator, a second end portion close to the rotor core, and a middle portion therebetween. An outer diameter of the first end portion is smaller than an outer diameter of the middle portion, and the outer diameter of the middle portion is smaller than an outer diameter of the second end portion. An end of the commutator close to the sleeve has a groove, and the first end portion of the sleeve is placed in the groove. The rotor has a good seismic performance.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. A rotor for a motor, comprising a shaft, a rotor core, a sleeve, a commutator, and a rotor winding wound on the rotor core; the rotor core, the sleeve and the commutator being fixed to the shaft; the sleeve being arranged between the rotor core and the commutator;
wherein, the sleeve comprises a first end portion close to the commutator, a second end portion close to the rotor core, and a middle portion between the first end portion and the second end portion;
an outer diameter of the first end portion is smaller than an outer diameter of the middle portion, and the outer diameter of the middle portion is smaller than an outer diameter of the second end portion;
an end of the commutator close to the sleeve has a groove, and the first end portion of the sleeve is placed in the groove, the first end portion of the sleeve and the groove of the commutator being cylindrical;
the sleeve is made of metal, the middle portion of the sleeve is cylindrical, and the second end portion of the sleeve is in a shape of truncated cone; and
the sleeve is surrounded by an insulating layer.

2. The rotor according to claim 1 , wherein the sleeve is made of stainless steel or copper.

3. The rotor according to claim 1 , wherein a ratio of the outer diameter of the first end portion to an inner diameter of the first end portion ranges from 1.2 to 1.5.

4. The rotor according to claim 1 , wherein a ratio of an axial length of the first end portion to a total axial length of the sleeve ranges from 0.20 to 0.025.

5. The rotor according to claim 1 , wherein an axial length of the first end portion is greater than a depth of the groove, so that a first gap is formed between an end surface of the commutator and an end surface of the middle portion of the sleeve.

6. The rotor according to claim 5 , wherein the first end portion of the sleeve and the groove of the commutator are cylindrical, and the outer diameter of the first end portion is smaller than an inner diameter of the groove, so that a second gap is formed between an outer circumferential surface of the first end portion and an inner circumferential surface of the groove.

7. The rotor according to claim 6 , wherein the first gap and the second gap are filled with adhesives.

8. The rotor according to claim 1 , wherein the insulating layer further surrounds a part of the shaft located at the other end of the rotor core.

9. A motor, comprising a stator and a rotor, the rotor comprising a shaft, a rotor core, a sleeve, a commutator, and a rotor winding wound on the rotor core; the rotor core, the sleeve and the commutator being fixed to the shaft; the sleeve being arranged between the rotor core and the commutator;
wherein, the sleeve comprises a first end portion close to the commutator, a second end portion close to the rotor core, and a middle portion between the first end portion and the second end portion;
an outer diameter of the first end portion is smaller than an outer diameter of the middle portion, and the outer diameter of the middle portion is smaller than an outer diameter of the second end portion;
an end of the commutator close to the sleeve has a groove, and the first end portion of the sleeve is placed in the groove, the first end portion of the sleeve and the groove of the commutator being cylindrical;
the sleeve is made of metal, the middle portion of the sleeve is substantially cylindrical, and the second end portion of the sleeve is substantially in a shape of truncated cone; and
the sleeve is surrounded by an insulating layer.

10. The motor according to claim 9 , wherein the sleeve is made of stainless steel or copper.

11. The motor according to claim 9 , wherein the insulating layer further surrounds a part of the shaft located at the other end of the rotor core are surrounded by an insulating layer.
