Electric motor with multiple power access

摘要

A motor assembly includes an electric motor having a stator and a rotor. A housing is coupled to the electric motor. The housing includes a terminal housing portion defining a first aperture and a second aperture. A power input terminal is disposed within the terminal housing portion. The power input terminal receives power input connections from at least one of the first aperture and the second aperture. A motor controller is disposed within the housing, the motor controller in communication with the power input terminals and the stator. A human machine interface (HMI) is in communication with the motor controller.

1. A motor assembly comprising:
an electric motor including a stator and a rotor; a housing coupled to the electric motor, the housing including a terminal housing portion defining a first aperture and a second aperture; a power input terminal disposed within the terminal housing portion, the power input terminal for receiving power input connections from at least one of the first aperture and the second aperture; a motor controller disposed within the housing, the motor controller in communication with the power input terminals and the stator; a human machine interface (HMI) in communication with the motor controller and positionable in one of a first position in which the HMI is physically supported by the motor and a second position in which the HMI is physically spaced apart from the motor; an interface cord communicating control signals from the HMI to the motor controller; and an HMI input terminal coupled to the terminal housing portion, the HMI input terminal for receiving the interface cord, the interface cord entering the terminal housing through an interface aperture when the HMI is in the first position and an external interface cord passing through a third aperture, different than the interface aperture when the HMI is in the second position.
