The present disclosure relates to the technical field of galvanometers, and in particular, relates to a stator structure for a galvanometer motor.
A galvanometer system is a high-precision and high-speed servo control system constituted by a drive plate and a high-speed swing motor, which is widely applied in the fields such as laser material machining, biomedical detection, and image and graphics processing. The core component of a high-speed scanning galvanometer system is a galvanometer motor. A high-efficiency and high-quality galvanometer motor is capable of implementing high-speed laser marking.
In one conventional galvanometer, a motor housing of the galvanometer is made of iron, and two arc-shaped coils are mounted in a frameless and sensorless fashion inside the galvanometer. Another galvanometer motor is a sensored motor using a laminate of silicon steel sheets as a coil frame as disclosed in Patent Application No. CN 103051075 A. Such motors all include a front bearing mounting seat, a rear bearing mounting seat, and a coil frame having a silicon steel sheet laminated structure sandwiched between the two seat. This structure has the following defects: (1) The motor apparatus includes too many parts; (2) the assembling complexity is high; (3) since the core is fixed to the housing using an epoxy resin, the subsequent assembling operations may be performed in the case that the adhesive is cured, which affects the assembling efficiency; (4) the assembling, disassembling and maintenance are complex and involve too many operations, and the motor apparatus may be disassembled by heating the epoxy resin, and thus non-destructive disassembling is hard; and (5) the motor apparatus is compact in terms of space, and one type of motor corresponds to one winding parameter, which is irreplaceable.
To overcome the defects in the related art, the present disclosure provides a stator structure for a galvanometer motor.
To achieve the above object, the present disclosure employs a technical solution of a stator structure for galvanometer motor. The stator structure includes a frame and a single electromagnetic coil, wherein a first through hole configured to allow a rotor assembly to run through is molded on the frame, a support portion disposed on a side of the first through hole and extending along an axial direction perpendicular to the first through hole; wherein the electromagnetic coil is wound on the support portion, a protrusive restraining block is molded on both sides of an outer wall of the support portion on the frame, wherein a distance between the support portion and either of the two restraining blocks is a maximum width for winding the electromagnetic coil.
Further, a protrusion height of the restraining block is greater than a winding radius of the electromagnetic coil.
Further, two separation gaps extending to run through the frame are molded on an inner wall of the first through hole.
Further, the two separation gaps are face-to-face arranged on an inner wall of the first through hole along a direction perpendicular to a lengthwise direction of the support portion.
Further, the frame is formed by lamination of a plurality of silicon steel sheets.
The present disclosure achieves the following beneficial effects: The structural design of the frame is optimized, such that the deployment of the electromagnetic coil is more reasonable, and hence the assembling is more convenient.

In this embodiment, the stator assembly 2 includes a frame 21 and a single electromagnetic coil 22, wherein the frame 21 is formed by lamination of a plurality of silicon steel sheets. A first through hole 211 extending along the direction of the laminated silicon steel sheets is molded on the frame 21, and the first through hole 211 is configured for rotatable plug-in fitting of the magnet 32. A support portion 212 disposed on the side of the first through hole 211 and extending along an axial direction perpendicular to the first through hole 211 is molded on the frame 21, and the electromagnetic coil 22 is wound on the support portion 212, such that the electromagnetic coil 22 is wound on the frame 21, and the electromagnetic coil 22 is excitable to generate a drive magnetic field to magnetize the frame 21 to supply a torque to the magnet 32. By using the single electromagnetic coil 22 as described above, the volume of the frame 21 may be reduced, which facilitates reduction of the volume of the motor apparatus.
Specifically, in the case that a forward current is applied to the electromagnetic coil 22, a clockwise torque is generated to drive the magnetic 32 to rotate clockwise; on the contrary, in the case that a reverse current is applied to the electromagnetic coil 22, a counterclockwise torque is generated to drive the magnetic 32 to rotate counterclockwise. The torque is generated proportionally to the magnitude of the current applied to the electromagnetic coil 22.
Further, the electromagnetic coil 22 according to this embodiment is wound on the support portion 212 in an in-advance separative winding fashion, which facilitates the manufacture.
In this embodiment, two separation gaps 214 extending to run through the frame 21 are molded on an inner wall of the first through hole 211. The two separation gaps are face-to-face arranged on the inner wall of the first through hole along a direction perpendicular to a lengthwise direction of the support portion.
In this embodiment, the housing 1 includes a front bearing seat 13, a rear bearing seat 15, and a connection bridge 14 that are integrally molded. Two ends of the connection bridge 14 are respectively integrally connected to upper end portions of the front bearing seat 13 and the rear bearing seat 15. In this case, the front bearing seat 13, the connection bridge 14, and the rear bearing seat 15 define a U-shaped structure. A cut-out region enclosed by the front bearing seat 13, the connection bridge 14, and the rear bearing seat (15) defines a recess 11. That is, a recess 11 configured to receive the stator assembly 2 is molded in the housing 1. In this case, the recess 11 has openings in three faces relative to the housing 1, and the frame 21 and coils of the stator assembly 2 may be placed into the recess via any of the three openings. Second, the shape of the frame 21 mates with the shape of the recess 11, such that an outer surface of the frame 21 placed into the recess 11 is correspondingly flush with outer surfaces of the front bearing seat 13, the connection bridge 14, and the rear bearing seat 15. In this case, the frame 21 is capable of being more compactly assembled into the recess 11, such that the assembling accuracy is effectively improved, the assembling complexity is lowered, and extra slits are prevented and entry of dusts is prevented.
In this embodiment, a protrusive restraining block 213 is molded on both sides of an outer wall of the support portion 212 on the frame 21; wherein a distance between the support portion 212 and either of the two restraining blocks 213 is a maximum width for winding the electromagnetic coil 22, and a protrusion height of the restraining block 213 is greater than a winding radius of the electromagnetic coil 22. In this way, a winding width and the winding radius of the electromagnetic coil 22 are restricted by using the two restraining blocks 213, such that the electromagnetic coil 22 is more regularly arranged without spillage.
Further, outer side arms of the restraining blocks 213 are flush with the outer surface of the frame 21, and outer end faces of the restraining blocks 213 are flush with lower end faces of the front bearing seat 13 and the rear bearing seat 15, such that the frame 21 is capable of being more closely mated and integral with the housing 1.
The deployment structure of the electromagnetic coil 22 is improved by using the frame 21 and the structure of the restraining blocks 213, such that the volume of the motor apparatus is further reduced on the premise of providing a sufficient torque, and hence a scanning angle of laser reflected by a lens 4 is increased.
In this embodiment, a second through hole 12 arranged coaxially with the first through hole 211 and extending to run through the recess 11 is molded on the housing 1. In this embodiment, two second through holes 12 are arranged. The two second through holes 12 are respectively molded in the front bearing seat 13 and the rear bearing seat 15. A rotary bearing 6 allowing the axle 31 to rotatably run through is arranged in the second through hole 12. That is, two ends of the axle 31 respectively run through the second through holes 12 in the front bearing seat 13 and the rear bearing seat 15. The end of the axle 31 running through the front bearing seat 13 is connected to the lens 4 configured to reflect laser. That is, one end of the axle 31 extends to the outside of a front end face of the housing 1 and is connected to the lens 4.
In this embodiment, the frame 21 and the housing 1 are connected via two fixing screws. Specifically, a screw hole mating with the fixing screw is opened in both the front bearing seat 13 and the rear bearing seat 15 of the housing 1. The two fixing screws respectively run through, in a front-rear direction, the screw holes in the front bearing seat 13 and the rear bearing seat 15, and are connected to the frame 21, such that the frame 21 and the housing 1 are fixedly connected.
For ease of understanding, the motor apparatus is further illustrated with reference to the specific assembling fashion.
During the assembling, first, the frame 21 on which the electromagnetic coil 22 is pre-wound is mounted into the recess 11 of the housing 1; then, the position of the frame 21 in the groove 11 is adjusted to ensure that various surfaces of the frame 21 are respectively flush with the outer surfaces of the front bearing seat 13, the connection bridge 14, and the rear bearing seat 15, such that the first through hole 211 and the second through hole 12 are coaxially aligned; subsequently, the axle 31 and the magnet 32 of the rotor assembly 3 are mounted into the second through hole 12 and the first through hole 211; and finally, two fixing screws respectively run through the front bearing seat 13 and the rear bearing seat 15 of the housing 1 in a front-rear direction, and are then connected to the frame 21. In this way, the assembling of the motor apparatus is completed. In this way, the assembling complexity of the motor apparatus is low and the mounting operations are simple, the assembling time and calibration time are greatly reduced, and manpower cost for the assembling is lowered.
In this embodiment, during replacement or repair of any part of the motor apparatus, the motor apparatus needs to be disassembled first. The disassembling process is as follows: First, the axle 31 and the magnet 32 of the rotor assembly 3 are pulled out, then the two fixing screws are loosened and removed, and finally, the frame 21 with the electromagnetic coil 22 is removed from the housing 1. In this way, the disassembling of the motor apparatus is completed. In this case, the parts need to be replaced may be replaced. In the case that the frame 21 or the electromagnetic coil 22 needs to be replaced, a new frame 21 (a new electromagnetic coil 22 is pre-wound on the new frame 21) may be directly employed and mounted onto the housing 1; in the case that the housing 1 needs to be replaced, a new housing may be directly employed for assembling of the original frame 21. If the axle 31 and the magnet 32 of the rotor assembly 3 need to be replaced, a new rotor assembly 3 is mounted onto the housing 1 and the frame 21. In addition, in actual operations, the rotor assembly 3 may be replaced without completely disassembling the motor apparatus, and a new rotor assembly 3 may be employed in the case that the original rotor assembly 3 is disassembled. By using the above disassembling and replacement fashions, the disassembling is simple and quick, and non-destructive replacement of the parts are achieved, such that modularized disassembling is achieved, and hence the maintenance cost is greatly reduced.
In this embodiment, the galvanometer motor apparatus further includes a wiring board 5 arranged on a rear end face of the housing 1. The wiring board 5 is provided with a temperature sensor 51. The temperature sensor 51 employs a surface-mounted structure, and is mounted closer as much as possible to a metal position of the motor apparatus, for example, the frame 21, the axle 31, and the like metal parts, which is not limited herein. A person skilled in the art may make adaptations according to the actual mounting requirements and the model and specification of the temperature sensor 51. Heat generated by the motor apparatus may be quickly transferred to the temperature sensor 51. Even in the case that no additional data acquisition line needs to be arranged between the wiring board 5 and the temperature sensor 51, temperature data acquired by the temperature sensor 51 is directly transmitted to a predetermined drive processing apparatus via the wiring board 5. In this way, the disassembling complexity of the temperature sensor 51 is low, and the acquisition has a low delay.
The above embodiments are used only for illustrating the present disclosure, but are not intended to limit the protection scope of the present disclosure. Various modifications and replacements readily derived by those skilled in the art within technical disclosure of the present disclosure shall fall within the protection scope of the present disclosure. Therefore, the protection scope of the present disclosure is subject to the appended claims.
