In a high-vibration environment, Motor Connector faces severe challenges, and its structural reinforcement design is crucial.
First, optimizing the design of the connection part is a key step. The roughness of the connection surface can be increased to increase the friction between the bolt and the connector, effectively preventing loosening. For example, a special processing technology can be used to create subtle textures on the connection surface to enhance the stability of the connection. At the same time, the layout of the connection bolts should be reasonably designed, and the force should be more uniformly distributed or symmetrically distributed to avoid local stress concentration. For example, on a circular connector, multiple bolts are evenly distributed along the circumference to evenly distribute the force generated by vibration to each bolt, reducing the load on a single bolt.
Secondly, the main structure of the connector is strengthened. Increasing the wall thickness can improve the overall rigidity and make it better resist deformation caused by vibration. Through finite element analysis and other means, the wall thickness required under high vibration can be accurately calculated to achieve structural reinforcement without adding too much weight. In addition, setting reinforcement ribs is also a common strategy. In the key parts of the connector, such as the part connected to the motor shaft or the part that is prone to bending, the reinforcement ribs are reasonably arranged. These reinforcing ribs can be distributed radially or in a grid pattern to enhance the bending and torsion resistance of the structure and effectively reduce deformation and damage caused by vibration.
In addition, buffer materials or structures are used. Gaskets or washers made of buffer materials such as rubber and silicone are added to the contact surface between the connector and the motor or other components. These buffer materials can absorb part of the vibration energy and reduce the intensity of vibration transmission to the connector. Or design built-in buffer structures such as springs and dampers. When vibration occurs, they can reduce the impact of vibration on the connector through their own elastic deformation and damping effect, and protect its structural integrity.
Finally, simulation tests and optimization adjustments are carried out. Computer simulation software is used to simulate and analyze the performance of the designed Motor Connector in a high vibration environment, and potential problems are found and optimized based on the simulation results. Then, samples are made for actual vibration tests, and data such as stress, strain, displacement, etc. are collected through sensors to further verify the effectiveness of the design, and the structure is fine-tuned according to the test results to ensure that the connector can work stably and reliably for a long time in a high vibration environment, meet the connection requirements of the motor system, and ensure the normal operation of the equipment.
