Abstract

Abstract The stator core having stator coils thereon of a submersible electric motor is provided with a cylindrical can disposed in engagement with the inner surface of the stator coil and molded resin member is formed completely about the external surface of the core, the end surfaces of the core and the end portions of the coils in engagement with the end portions of the can to completely encapsulate the core and coils. The end portions of the can may be bent outwardly and embedded directly in the molded resin member during the molding thereof with the can located within the core. Alternatively, a mold tool may be located within the core for molding the molded resin member about the stator core and coils and upon removal of the tool a hollow cylindrical can may be located within the core. The end portions of the can are then sealed to the end portions of the molded member. A terminal plate and fastener fittings may also be molded integrally into the molded member. End brackets may then be secured to opposite ends of the molded resin member. The brackets are provided with bosses which extend into the can and a seal is provided between the can and the boss. The can, in conjunction with the end brackets, define a central portion for receiving a lubricant for the bearings supporting a rotor within the can.

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 7
Claim 1
Independent Claim 123 words
A submersible electric motor comprising an annular stator core having stator coils thereon, a hollow cylindrical can fitted within said stator core to cover the inner surface thereof, a one piece molded resin member surrounding the outer wall of said stator core, both ends of said stator core and the end portions of said stator coils, a pair of end brackets secured to opposite ends of said molded resin member and having bosses extending into said can and rotor means rotatably supported within said can by means of said brackets, said can and said brackets forming a closed chamber adapted to receive a lubricant and sealing means interposed between said bosses and said can to prevent leakage of said lubricant from said chamber.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 123 words
A submersible electric motor comprising an annular stator core having stator coils thereon, a hollow cylindrical can fitted within said stator core to cover the inner surface thereof, a one piece molded resin member surrounding the outer wall of said stator core, both ends of said stator core and the end portions of said stator coils, a pair of end brackets secured to opposite ends of said molded resin member and having bosses extending into said can and rotor means rotatably supported within said can by means of said brackets, said can and said brackets forming a closed chamber adapted to receive a lubricant and sealing means interposed between said bosses and said can to prevent leakage of said lubricant from said chamber.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 33 words
A submersible electric motor as set forth in claim 1, wherein said can and said molded resin member are bonded together by the adhesive force of the resin forming said molded resin member.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim 27 words
A submersible electric motor as set forth in claim 1, wherein the end portions of said can are bent outwardly and embedded in said molded resin member.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim 45 words
A submersible electric motor as set forth in claim 1, further comprising a terminal board embedded in said molded resin member for electrically connecting said stator coils to an external electric power supply and an adhesive sealant covering the entire surface of said terminal board.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim 41 words
A submersible electric motor as set forth in claim 1, wherein a silicon series retaining compound resin is located between said molded resin member and the cylindrical end portions of said can for sealing said can to said molded resin member.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim 28 words
A submersible electric motor as set forth in claim 1, further comprising an anerobic adhesive bonding both cylindrical end portions of said can to said molded resin member.
