Abstract
A dustproof structure for a sleeve bearing includes an axial tube, a sleeve bearing and a dustproof cushion. The axial tube accommodates the sleeve bearing which bears an axial hole through which a shaft of a motor rotor is freely extended. The dustproof cushion is attached to an end surface of the sleeve bearing to prevent from entering foreign dust. At least one oil-returning groove is formed between the sleeve bearing and the dustproof cushion to ensure cycling lubricant so that sufficient lubricity between the sleeve bearing and the shaft is ensured.
Claims14
A dustproof structure for a sleeve bearing, comprising:
- an axial tube having a tubular body, said axial tube engaging a motor stator;
- a sleeve bearing mounted in the axial tube, the sleeve bearing including an axial hole through which to extend a shaft of a motor rotor;
- a dustproof cushion received in the axial tube and attached to an end surface of the sleeve bearing for preventing foreign dust from entering into a gap formed between an inner circumference of the axial tube and an outer circumference of the sleeve bearing, the dustproof cushion including an axial hole through which to extend the shaft of the motor rotor, said dustproof cushion further including an annular wall that projects upwardly from an inner periphery of the axial hole;
- and
- at least one oil returning groove formed on a surface of the dustproof cushion facing the end surface of the sleeve bearing and adapted to re-lubricate an inner circumference of the axial hole of the sleeve bearing.
A dustproof structure for a sleeve bearing, comprising:
- an axial tube having a tubular body, said axial tube engaging a motor stator;
- a sleeve bearing mounted in the axial tube, the sleeve bearing including an axial hole through which to extend a shaft of a motor rotor;
- and
- a dustproof cushion received in the axial tube and attached to an end surface of the sleeve bearing, said dustproof cushion including an axial hole through which to extend the shaft of the motor rotor;
- said dustproof cushion further including at least one oil-returning groove formed on a surface of the dustproof cushion facing the end surface of the sleeve bearing, and a buffer space connected with an end of the oil-returning grooves proximate the axial hole.
A dustproof structure for a sleeve bearing, comprising:
- an axial tube having a tubular body;
- a sleeve bearing mounted in the axial tube, the sleeve bearing including an axial hole through which to extend a shaft of a motor rotor;
- and
- a dustproof cushion fittingly mounted in the axial tube, the dustproof cushion being further spaced a predetermined distance from an end surface of the sleeve bearing so that an oil-returning channel is formed between the end surface of the sleeve bearing and the dustproof cushion.
A dustproof structure for a sleeve bearing, comprising:
- an axial tube having a tubular body;
- a sleeve bearing mounted in the axial tube, the sleeve bearing including an axial hole through which to extend a shaft of a motor rotor;
- and
- a dustproof cushion integrally formed with the axial tube, the dustproof cushion being further spaced a predetermined distance from an end surface of the sleeve bearing so that an oil-returning channel is formed between the end surface of the sleeve bearing and the dustproof cushion.
A dustproof structure for a sleeve bearing, comprising:
- an axial tube having a tubular body, said axial tube engaging a motor stator;
- a sleeve bearing mounted in the axial tube, the sleeve bearing including an axial hole through which to extend a shaft of a motor rotor;
- a dustproof cushion received in the axial tube and attached to an end surface of the sleeve bearing for preventing foreign dust from entering into a gap formed between an inner circumference of the axial tube and an outer circumference of the sleeve bearing, the dustproof cushion including an axial hole through which to extend the shaft of the motor rotor;
- and
- at least one oil returning groove formed on a surface of the dustproof cushion facing the end surface of the sleeve bearing and adapted to re-lubricate an inner circumference of the axial hole of the sleeve bearing,
- wherein the dustproof cushion includes an annular engaging wall and an engaging flange thereof;
- and the annular engaging wall projects upwardly from an outer periphery of the dustproof cushion while the engaging flange extends from a top portion of the annular engaging wall.
