Motor having shock-proof design
A motor includes a shaft, a shell, a sleeve, an abrasion-resistance piece, a bearing, an oil seal, and several compressed springs. The shaft has an axial line. The shell is connected to the shaft. The sleeve has an accommodating space, and the wall of the accommodating space forms a first inclined surface which is inclined at an angle with respect to the axial line. The abrasion-resistance piece is disposed at the bottom of the accommodating space. The bearing is disposed in the accommodating space, and the outer wall of the bearing forms a second inclined surface corresponding to the first inclined surface. The shaft passes through the bearing and abuts the abrasion-resistance piece. The oil seal is affixed to the wall of the accommodating space and covers the bearing. The compressed springs are connected between the oil seal and the bearing.
1. A motor, comprising:
a shaft having an axial line;
a rotor shell connected to the shaft;
a sleeve having an accommodating space, wherein a wall of the accommodating space forms a first inclined surface which is inclined at an angle with respect to the axial line;
an abrasion-resistance piece disposed at the bottom of the accommodating space;
a bearing disposed in the accommodating space, and an outer wall of the bearing forms a second inclined surface which corresponds to the first inclined surface, and the shaft passes through the bearing and abuts the abrasion-resistance piece;
an oil seal affixed to the wall of the accommodating space and covering the bearing; and
a plurality of compressed springs connected between the oil seal and the bearing.
2. The motor as claimed in claim 1 , wherein when the bearing and the shaft are subjected to an external force along a first direction to move parallel to the axial line of the shaft so that the shaft is separated from the abrasion-resistance piece, the compressed springs are deformed by force and exert an elastic restoring force along a second direction on the bearing to return the bearing and the shaft back to their original positions, wherein the second direction is opposite to the first direction.
3. The motor as claimed in claim 2 , wherein when the bearing and the shaft are subjected to another external force along a third direction so that the second inclined surface of the bearing slides with respect to the first inclined surface of the accommodating space and so that the shaft is separated from the abrasion-resistance piece, the compressed springs are deformed by force and exert an elastic restoring force on the bearing to return the bearing and the shaft back to their original positions, wherein the third direction is different from the first and second directions.
4. The motor as claimed in claim 3 , wherein a first limiting structure is provided on the first inclined surface of the accommodating space, and a second limiting structure is provided on the second inclined surface of the bearing, wherein the position and shape of the second limiting structure correspond to those of the first limiting structure so that the maximum sliding distance between the first inclined surface and the second inclined surface is limited by the first and second limiting structures.
5. The motor as claimed in claim 1 , further comprising a retainer ring connected to the shaft and situated between the bottom of the accommodating space and the bearing for preventing the shaft from being separated from the bearing.
