Definitions
- the invention relates to a BLDC motor, in particular according to the preamble of patent claim 1.
- DE 100 18 728 A1 discloses a BLDC motor which has at least one cover for axially closing a motor housing of a BLDC motor and components such as current paths, plug contacts, Hall sensors and connections for the BLDC motor. These components are used for its electronic commutation.
- BLDC motors usually have a circuit board on which the Hall sensors, which are used to detect their direction of rotation and speed, are soldered on. A connector is also provided, the connector contacts of which are connected to the Hall sensors and the phases of the BLDC motor. Due to the temperature limits of the board and solder, these BLDC motors are not suitable for use in the internal combustion engine compartment of a motor vehicle, since temperatures of up to 150 ° C prevail, to which the self-heating of the BLDC motor of at least 10 ° to 20 ° C must be added.
- Object of the invention is not suitable for use in the internal combustion engine compartment of a motor vehicle, since temperatures of up to 150 ° C prevail, to which the self-heating of the BLDC motor of at least 10 ° to 20 ° C must be added.
- the object of the invention is to create a BLDC motor which can withstand maximum temperatures of at least 170 ° C. and has a small axial space requirement and low manufacturing costs.
- the plug module according to the invention and the extrusion-coated lead frame are made from sufficiently heat-resistant materials, temperature-related failures of the BLDC motor are eliminated. That means increased reliability and improved functionality of the same.
- the assembly of the BLDC motor is simplified by the plug module, which replaces a circuit board and a cover, and the axial space requirement is reduced accordingly.
- the lead frame on the plug side is designed as a plug contact for the BLDC motor and as another plug contact for Hall sensors and on the motor side as a connection for the phases as a BLDC motor and as another connection for the Hall sensors. Since the lead frame is formed in one piece with the plug contacts and the connections, the connections which are otherwise necessary are unnecessary, as a result of which the production outlay is reduced and the reliability is increased. The reliability of the connector module is also promoted by the fact that the Hall sensors are attached to the lead frame directly and preferably by welding. The welded connection has the advantage of high heat resistance compared to the soldered connection.
- the position fixing of the plug module with respect to the motor housing which is required for the exact radial and rotational position of the Hall sensors, is achieved in that the same has a centering collar and a rotation fixation.
- the stator must be centered and rotationally fixed in order to correspond to module.
- the connections of the phases of the BLDC motor and dowel pins, dowel screws, dowel sleeves or a fixing lug, which engages in a corresponding counter-contour of the motor housing, can be used as rotational fixation.
- the centering collar can also act as a sealing collar.
- an O-ring is inserted into a radial groove in the motor housing; in the case of an axial seal, the axial bearing surface of the centering collar on the motor side serves as a sealing surface for an O-ring located in the motor housing.
- the O-ring grooves can also be made radially or axially in the centering collar. In this case, the corresponding counter surfaces in the motor housing serve as sealing surfaces.
- the extrusion coating of the lead frame is oil-tight.
- the BLDC motor is usually protected against the ingress of oil from the adjustment gear by means of a shaft sealing ring. If such a seal is to be dispensed with, the lead frame must be overmolded in an oil-tight manner. This prevents the oil entering the BLDC motor from flowing out along the current paths via the plug contacts the environment arrives. In addition, there are no leakage currents between the current paths in this way.
- the seal between the motor housing and the plug module is also made using O-rings, paper seals or liquid seals.
- the lead frame can, however, also be plugged into the plug module, for example via bores in the lead frame and plastic pins on the plug module. However, it can also be injection molded on one side or only partially encapsulated if the engine is oil-tight.
- the plug contacts are arranged in a plug which is molded onto the plug module.
- the plug can be attached to the plug module both radially and axially or in a mixed form (radially axially).
- the plug module can also be implemented with a cable outlet, the cable having a plug at its end.
- Figure 1 is an interior view of a connector module
- FIG. 2 shows a side view of the plug module according to FIG. 1;
- FIG. 3 shows an external view of the plug module according to FIG. 1. Detailed description of the drawing
- the connector module 1 shown in Figure 1 is made of heat-resistant plastic, with which a likewise heat-resistant lead frame is molded.
- the lead frame serves as a current path and connects plug contacts 2 with connections 5 for phases of the stator of a brushless DC motor (BLDC motor), not shown.
- BLDC motor brushless DC motor
- the plug contacts 2, 3 and the connections 5, 6 are components of the lead frame.
- the Hall sensors 4 and the other connections 6 are connected in a heat-resistant manner by welding.
- the plug module 1 has a centering collar 7, which is used to center it relative to a motor housing of the BLDC motor, not shown.
- the stator of the BLDC motor is also centered in this motor housing. Since the connector module 1 and the stator are also rotationally fixed relative to the motor housing, an exact rotational and radial position of the connections 5, 6 is guaranteed.
- a bearing seat 8 is arranged coaxially to the centering collar 7, in which a motor bearing is pressed or glued.
- the engine mount can also be overmolded in the installed position.
- injection-molded or joined reinforcement rings are provided.
- oil of the internal combustion engine can penetrate into the BLDC motor via this adjustment gear.
- An oil-tight encapsulation of the lead frame prevents leakage currents between the current paths and prevents oil from escaping along the current paths via the plug contacts 2, 3.
- a connector 10 shown in partial section in FIG. 1 is molded onto the connector module 1.
- FIG. 2 shows a side view of the plug module 1, with the centering collar 7, the Hall sensors 4, the connections 5 and the plug 10. The low overall height of the plug module 1 can be seen.
- FIG. 3 shows the external view of the plug module 1 with the three through holes 9 and the molded plug 10.
