Definitions

  • the object of the invention is to provide an electric motor having an air-gap jacket in particular of utility in central heating accelerators and other like fluid circulating applications having the aforementioned drawbacks, such as circuits for circulating chemical products, oil for burners, and nuclear station circuits, this electric motor comprising a number of devices of known type which are so combined as to avoid the aforementioned drawbacks inherent in the present state of the art.
  • the air-gap jacket defines two cavities, one of which comprises the rotor and the other the stator .and the winding, the part of the inner cavity opposed to the pump communicates with the exterior only by way of a vent and the part of the inner cavity adjacent the pump communicates with the fluid driven by the pump through a filter having such dimensional characteristics as to filter'the fluid in the course of the first filling of said inner cavity while insuring the equilibrium of the pressures on both sides of said filter and on both sides of the bearing sleeve for the shaft of the motor, practically no circulation of fluid therefore occurring between said inner cavity and the exterior, the air gap and the thickness of the jacket being on account of the purity of the fluid reduced to the minimum values corresponding to the conditions of mechanical manufacture, the jacket being stiffened at its ends by flanges co- "ice operating with toric sealing elements mounted on the bearings and the case being provided, in contradistinction to the usual practice in this art, with cooling fins.
  • a thermic contact is provided between the winding and the case by replacing the air filling the stator cavity by a solid powdered material which is a better heat conductor than air, such asquartz, silica or the like, the whole being, if desired, subjected to a special impregnation for both mechanical and thermic reasons.
  • the single mechanical air gap does not exceed a value given in millimetres by the expression 0.2 mm.+D/500 in which D is expressed in millimetres and the thickness of the jacket does not exceed D/ 200.
  • the toric sealing means are disposed in recesses formed in the cylindrical faces of the bearings.
  • Said vent communicates with a de-gassing chamber with which communicates a blind hole formed in the end of the shaft of the motor opposed to the pump, this hole communicating with the inner cavity of the jacket by way of radialiholes.
  • FIG. 1 is a longitudinal sectional view of the motor according to the invention:
  • FIG. 1A shows a modification of a detail of the jacket.
  • FIG. 2 is a sectional view ofthe air-gap jacket.
  • FIG. .3 is a sectional view of the forward bearing of the motor
  • FIG. 4 is a sectional view-of the rear bearing of the motor.
  • FIG. 1 shows a stator 1 having a winding 2 and an air-gap jacket 3 having a generally circular tubular shape which fits in the bore of the stator.
  • a rotor 4 mounted on a shaft '5, there being a clearance or air gap 6 between the stator and rotor.
  • the shaft is supported by a rear bearing 7 and a forward bearing 8 provided with their sleeves 9 and 10' respectively.
  • the rear bearing is provided with a closing cap 11 defining between the cap and the shaft a chamber 12 performing the function of a de-gassing chamber with which communicates an axial blind hole 13 formed in the shaft of the motor, this hole communicating with the inner space of the motor by way of radial holes 14.
  • the inner wall of the bearing 8 is heat insulated by means of a heat insulator.
  • the forward bearing has a filter 21.
  • the air-gap jacket 3 (FIGS. 1 and 2) is composed of very thin stainless steel sheet, for example 0.2 mm. thick for a diameter of 40 mm. In order to insure that this jacket has suitable rigidity, it is provided at its ends with an outwardly extending flange 22 and an inwardly extending flange 23. These flanges also permit the easy disassembly of the jacket and the removal of the rear sealing element 15.
  • the inner flange 23 is formed by a forming over of the end of the Wall of the jacket 3 which can be formed over at 90 as shown in FIG. 1; preferably it is formed over at 180 as shown in FIG. 1A, which affords an improved stiffening of the jacket.
  • the filter 21 (FIG. 3) is constituted, for example, of a sintered metal pellet maintained in a chamber 24 formed in the bearing 8 forward of a chamber 25. The latter enables the fluid to flow to the interior of the motor through apertures 26 which communicate with a recess 27.
  • the section of the filter 21 and its porosity are so calculated that the pressure drop across the filter is less than that resulting from the clearance between the hearing sleeve 9 and the rotor shaft.
  • the filter 21, the chamber 24, the apertures 26 and the recess 27 are arranged as shown in the drawings and insure the maximum pas sage of fluid and thus permit satisfying the aforementioned condition.
  • the fluid in the annular clearance between the bearing sleeve 9 and the shaft is consequently fed round the rear of the bearing so as to ensure the lubrication. It is therefore a fluid devoid of dirt which performs this function.
  • This lubrication by means of a filtered fluid precludes any premature wear of the bearing sleeves.
  • the forward bearing 8 furthermore carries a fixed abutment 28 which contacts a moving abutment 29 connected to the rotor when, owing to the axial thrust of the pump, the rotor is biased in the direction of arrow F (FIG. 1).
  • This abutment 28 and the bearing sleeves are preferably composed of a conglomeration of sintered bronze encased in a mass of polytetrafiuorethylene (known under the trade name of Teflon), which permits an accidental operation in the dry condition.
  • FIG. 4 represents the detail of the rear bearing 7 and shows how it is possible to combine the known assembly of the sealing element 15 with the air-gap jacket 3 having the formed-over inner flange 23.
  • a cylindrical portion 30 of short length is provided forward of the groove 17, which serves as a housing for the sealing element 15,.
  • This cylindrical portion precludes any damage to the sealing element when assembling and prevents it from becoming pulled off inwardly of motor under the effect of the lateral thrust.
  • the diameter of this cylindrical portion is so calculated that the expansion of the sealing element is within the values indicated by the manufacturer whereas the diameter in the bottom of the groove 17 is within normal seal assembly limits.
  • the shaft 5 carries at the rear (FIG. 1) a shoulder 32 through the medium of which it abuts against the face of the rear bearing 7 when the motor is stationary and the static pressure of the fluid on the turbine of the pump urges the rotor rearwardly; this shoulder 32 thus performs the function of a valve.
  • the rear bearing is provided with a bleeder 33 which can be automatic or otherwise and puts the chamber 12 in communication with the atmosphere.
  • This machine is surrounded by a case 34 provided with outer cooling fins 35 which are shown in FIG. 1 to be circular but which could be longitudinal.
  • This case further comprises inner cooling fins 36. All these surfaces are painted a dark colour.
  • the motor operates in a reliable manner under the following conditions.
  • the inner wall of the bearing 8 can be insulated by means of a heat insulator.
  • the losses of the rotor are evacuated through the medium of the air-gap jacket and stator.
  • the main obstacle to the heat flux is the air gap.
  • the certainty that no impurity can enter the latter permits reducing it so far as mechanical construction permits, for example down to a value 0.2 mm.+D/500, in which D is the diameter of the jacket.
  • the small value of the thickness of the air-gap jacket facilitates this evacuation of heat.
  • the losses of the stator (and those transmitted thermically by the rotor) are easily evacuated owing to provision of the outer and inner fins on the case, the inner fins 36 more particularly contributing to the evacuation of the heat generated by the heads of the windings.
  • stator cavity is filled with a powdered solid material which is a better thermic conductor than air, such as quartz, silica or like material.
  • vent communicates with a de-gassing chamber which communicates with a blind hole formed in the shaft of the motor at the end thereof opposed to the pump, said blind hole communicating with the inner cavity of the jacket by way of radial holes.
  • bearing sleeves and abut-ments are composed of a conglomeration of sintered bronze encased in a mass of polytetrafluorethylene known under the trade name of Teflon.
