[0018] The present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings: This embodiment is implemented under the premise of the technical solution of the present invention, and detailed implementation methods are given, but the protection scope of the present invention is not limited to the following embodiments.

[0019] Example 1: As Figures 1-4 As shown in the figure, the hoisting wound motor carbon brush wear alarm device involved in this embodiment includes a switch contact device, a fixing device and a microcontroller. The switch contact device includes an insulating ball, a switch and a connecting structure. The switch is connected to the microcontroller through the connecting structure. The insulating ball and the switch are connected by contact. The insulating ball, the connecting structure and the switch are die-cast in the body. The connecting structure uses two parallel right-angled leads to be led out from the upper end of the body. The insulating ball and the switch are located at a corner of the bottom of the body, and a square protrusion is provided at this position. More than half of the volume of the insulating ball is located on the square protrusion, which can ensure that the insulating ball will not fall out of the body.

[0020] The fixing device uses a wedge and a housing. The outside of the brush box has a notch of the same size as the square protrusion at the bottom of the body. The housing is fixed to the outside of the brush box. The switch contact device is inserted into the housing and the protrusion of the body is inserted into the notch of the brush box. The wedge is used to tighten the switch contact device in the housing behind it. The size of the square protrusion does not affect the normal movement of the carbon brush in the brush box and can ensure that the carbon brush contacts the insulating ball.

[0021] The single-chip microcomputer receives the switch signal transmitted by the connecting mechanism, and judges the switch condition according to the switch signal.

[0022] The single-chip microcomputer receives the on and off signals of the switch to judge the carbon block wear condition, and then alarms through the programming (internal program) of the single-chip microcomputer. For example, the single-chip microcomputer sends a low level from the ground pin 1, if the switch is on, the ground pin 2 will receive the low level signal (two lead wires of each set of alarm device are connected to the two ground pin contacts of the single-chip microcomputer), if the switch is off, the ground pin 2 cannot receive the low level, and the single-chip microcomputer alarms.

[0023] As shown in Figure 4 , the insulating ball and the switch are in contact connection, and the insulating ball and the switch are pre-tightened by the elastic force generated by the spring in the switch. The insulating ball and the switch are in close contact through the spring.

[0024] The switch contact device is pressure cast in the pressure plastic 4330, and the whole is integrally pressure cast, has the advantages of quick disassembly and assembly, high degree of generalization, and can be used when plugged in without adjustment, and the whole is replaced when failure occurs. The part of the switch in contact with the insulating ball is located in the switch, and the whole switch and the connecting structure are pressure cast in the pressure plastic, the switch is located in the square protrusion at the bottom of the machine body, and the position of the switch in contact with the insulating ball is flush with the top of the protrusion.

[0025] The opening position of the brush box is the carbon brush length alarm value. When the carbon brush wears beyond a certain position, the insulating ball cannot contact the carbon brush, and the single-chip microcomputer alarms after receiving the switch signal. Because the insulating ball needs to contact the carbon brush to realize the alarm function, the opening position of the brush box is the carbon brush length alarm value.

[0026] Example two: as shown in Figure 2 , the carbon brush wear alarm device for hoist winding motor related by the embodiment is provided with one switch contact device beside each of the original six brush blocks. When the carbon brush normally operates, the carbon brush will press the contact. Because the carbon brush is moved in the brush box under the action of the constant force spring tension, when the length of the carbon brush reaches the alarm value, the carbon brush cannot press the contact, as shown in the right side of Figure 2 . The switch is off, the signal alarms through the single-chip microcomputer, and prompts the position of the carbon brush to be replaced.

[0027] Example three: as shown in Figure 5 , the carbon brush wear alarm device for hoist winding motor related by the embodiment takes the pin of the single-chip microcomputer packaged by PDIP as an example, and the wiring principle diagram of the alarm device is shown in Figure 5As shown, only one of the 6 groups of alarm devices is connected (the rest are the same), one lead of the alarm device is connected to the P0.0 pin of the single-chip microcomputer, the pin is set to high level, and through a thermal relay (which plays a high temperature protection role) and an SB1 switch (a switch in the alarm device, which is turned on by pressing the switch with an insulating ball. When the brush block reaches the wear alarm position, the brush block no longer presses the insulating ball, and the switch rebounds and is disconnected), it is connected to the P2.7 pin. When the SB1 switch is turned on, the high level signal of P0.0 is transmitted to the P2.7 pin, and P2.7 is high level at this time. When the SB1 switch is turned off, the high level signal of P0.0 cannot be transmitted to the P2.7 pin, and P2.7 is low level at this time. The program is set to consider that the motor carbon brush has been worn out and needs to be replaced at this time. The single-chip microcomputer alarms and reminds to replace the carbon brush.

[0028] The above is only a preferred embodiment of the present application, and these embodiments are different implementations based on the overall concept of the present application, and the protection scope of the present application is not limited to this. Any skilled person in the art can easily think of changes or replacements within the technical range disclosed by the present application, which should be covered within the protection scope of the present application. Therefore, the protection scope of the present application should be subject to the protection scope of the claims.
