[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of electric device equipment, and in particular to a brush holder assembly and an electric device. Background Art

[0002] An electric device is a device that converts electrical energy into mechanical energy through the principle of electromagnetic induction. At present, the overload protection of electric devices is to melt the fuse. This process requires the electric device to be short-circuited internally to generate a short-circuit current. Generally, the short circuit is achieved through the armature. In this way, when the current is low, the armature generates heat at a lower speed than the heat dissipation speed, so it is not easy to short-circuit, which can easily cause the problem of electric device ablation.

[0006] Wherein, the thermal expansion material of the insulating pad has a linear expansion coefficient of 1.0×10 -4 / K~1.4×10 -4 / K insulating material.

[0007] Specifically, the extension portion includes a connecting section, an inclined section and a contact section; one end of the connecting section is connected to the bottom plate, and the other end is connected to one end of the inclined section, the other end of the inclined section extends toward the bottom plate and is connected to one end of the contact section, and the contact section is located above the contact portion to form the gap.

[0008] Among them, the positive electrode brush assembly includes a first brush assembly and a second brush assembly, and the negative electrode brush assembly includes a third brush assembly and a fourth brush assembly; the extension portion formed on the bottom plate includes a first extension portion formed corresponding to the first brush assembly and a second extension portion formed corresponding to the second brush assembly; the insulating pad includes a first insulating pad and a second insulating pad symmetrically arranged, and the first insulating pad and the second insulating pad are both fan-shaped sheet structures; the first insulating pad and the second insulating pad are arranged opposite to each other, and the first brush assembly and the third brush assembly are arranged on the first insulating pad, and the second brush assembly and the fourth brush assembly are arranged on the second insulating pad.

[0009] Specifically, the first brush assembly and the third brush assembly located on the first insulating pad are symmetrically arranged with the second brush assembly and the fourth brush assembly located on the second insulating pad.

[0010] Further, the fuse includes a first connecting portion and a second connecting portion, a first wire is connected between the positive brush assembly and the fuse, and the number of the first wires corresponds to the number of the positive brush assemblies; the first connecting portion is connected to an end of the first brush assembly away from the first extension portion through the first wire, and the second connecting portion is connected to an end of the second brush assembly away from the second extension portion through the first wire.

[0011] Among them, the positive brush assembly and the negative brush assembly both include a positioning seat, an elastic member and a carbon brush; the positioning seat is connected to the insulating pad and the base plate, the elastic member is arranged in the positioning seat, one end of the carbon brush is connected to one end of the elastic member, and the other end protrudes from the positioning seat.

[0012] Specifically, a second wire is connected between the negative brush assembly and the base plate, and the number of the second wires corresponds to the number of the negative brush assemblies; one end of the first wire is connected to the carbon brush of the positive brush assembly, and the other end is connected to the fuse; one end of the second wire is connected to the carbon brush of the negative brush assembly, and the other end is connected to the base plate.

Therefore, when an overload occurs, the temperature inside the electric device gradually increases, causing the insulating pad to expand due to the heat, thereby driving the positive brush assembly to move in a direction close to the extension portion until one end of the positive brush assembly contacts the extension portion.

[0017] Since the extension part is made of conductive material, when the contact part of the positive brush assembly contacts the extension part, an internal short circuit can be formed, so that the fuse is blown, thereby reducing the problem of ablation when the electric device is overloaded to a certain extent.

[0018] In addition, the present invention also provides an electric device including the brush holder assembly.

[0036] like Figure 1 Combination Figure 4 As shown, the present invention provides a brush holder assembly, including a base plate 1, an insulating pad, a brush mechanism and a fuse 8; the insulating pad is made of a heat-expanding material and is arranged on the base plate 1, the brush mechanism is arranged on the insulating pad, the base plate 1 is formed with an extension portion, and the extension portion is a conductive material; the brush mechanism includes a positive brush assembly 4 and a negative brush assembly 5, one end of the positive brush assembly 4 is connected to the fuse 8 through a first wire 6, the extension portion corresponds to the contact portion of the positive brush assembly 4 and a gap 103 is provided between the two; when the insulating pad reaches a predetermined temperature, the insulating pad expands and drives the contact portion of the positive brush assembly 4 to touch the extension portion, so that the fuse 8 is melted; one end of the negative brush assembly 5 is connected to the base plate 1 through a second wire 7.

[0037] Compared with the prior art, the brush holder assembly provided by the present invention has the following advantages:

[0038] The brush holder assembly provided by the present invention can stably install the insulating pad and the brush mechanism through the base plate 1, and can realize the conversion of energy through the arranged positive brush assembly 4 and negative brush assembly 5. Since one end of the positive brush assembly 4 in the present application is connected to the fuse 8 through the first wire 6, an extension portion made of a conductive material is formed on the base plate 1 and is spaced apart from the other end of the positive brush assembly 4, and the insulating pad in the present application is made of a heat-expanding material. Therefore, when an overload occurs, the temperature inside the electric device gradually increases, causing the insulating pad to expand due to the heat, thereby driving the positive brush assembly 4 to move in a direction close to the extension portion until the contact portion of the positive brush assembly 4 contacts the extension portion.

[0039] Preferably, the extension part in the present application is made of metal conductive material. Therefore, when the contact part of the positive brush assembly 4 contacts the extension part, a short-circuit current can be generated, causing the fuse 8 to melt, thereby reducing the problem of ablation caused by overload of the electric device to a certain extent.

[0040] And as Figure 1 As shown, the contact portion of the positive electrode brush assembly 4 in the present application is actually the position where the positioning seat 9 extends outward and is riveted to the bottom plate 1.

[0041] It should be noted that the present application does not actually achieve overload protection by short-circuiting the armature through the heat generated internally under the overload state, thereby short-circuiting the internal circuit and then melting the fuse 8, but rather by increasing the internal temperature under the overload state to cause the insulation pad to expand due to heat, thereby causing the internal circuit to short-circuit and the fuse 8 to melt, thereby completing the overload protection function. Therefore, the brush holder assembly provided by the present application is not limited by the current size. When the overload causes the internal temperature to rise to a certain level, the overload protection of the structure can be achieved. In addition, since the positive brush assembly 4 in the present application is connected to the fuse 8 through the first wire 6, the internal short-circuit point can be controlled to a certain extent, reducing the risk of ablation.

[0042] Preferably, the insulating pad in the present application is made of nylon material, which can react well when the temperature rises, thereby quickly realizing the overload protection function. However, it is not limited to nylon material. The linear expansion coefficient is within 1.0×10 -4 / K~1.4×10 -4 Other insulating materials of / K can be used as insulating pads in this application.

[0043] The base plate 1 in the present application is a circular ring structure, and the hollow portion formed in the middle can facilitate the armature to pass through and contact with the carbon brushes 11 distributed around it.

[0044] It should be noted here that, under overload condition, the internal temperature of the device gradually rises, and the insulating pad absorbs heat and expands as the temperature rises. The above-mentioned predetermined temperature is the temperature at which the insulating pad can begin to expand to push the contact part to move closer to the extension part.

[0045] Specifically, the extended portion includes a connecting section 1011, an inclined section 1012 and a contact section 1013; one end of the connecting section 1011 is connected to the base plate 1, and the other end is connected to one end of the inclined section 1012. The other end of the inclined section 1012 extends toward the direction close to the base plate 1 and is connected to one end of the contact section 1013. The contact section 1013 is located above the contact portion to form a gap 103.

[0046] Preferably, the extension portion and the bottom plate 1 in the present application are integrally formed, and the bottom plate 1 is made of insulating material.

[0047] Further preferably, the connecting section 1011 of the extension portion in the present application extends in the vertical direction, so that the inclined section 1012 and the contact section 1013 can be spaced apart from the bottom plate 1, and the Figure 4The inclined section 1012 shown in the figure can, on the one hand, reduce the gap 103 formed between the contact section 1013 and the contact portion; on the other hand, since the brush holder assembly in the present application is mainly used in the starter, and the starter is mostly used in the engine compartment of the car, the inclined section 1012 can improve the stability of the contact section 1013 to a certain extent, thereby avoiding the problem of vibration of the contact section 1013 when the car vibrates, resulting in contact with the contact portion and causing an erroneous short circuit.

[0048] It is necessary to add that, if Figure 2 As shown, in the present application, the extension portion extends away from the end connected to the base plate 1 toward the direction close to the fuse rod 8, so that the extension portion has a certain inclination, thereby further improving the strength and stability of the extension portion to a certain extent.

[0049] Among them, Figure 1 Combination Figure 2 As shown, when the brush holder assembly in the present application is applied to the starter, the positive brush assembly 4 in the present application includes a first brush assembly 401 and a second brush assembly 402, and the negative brush assembly 5 includes a third brush assembly 501 and a fourth brush assembly 502; the extension portion formed on the base plate 1 includes a first extension portion 101 formed corresponding to the first brush assembly 401 and a second extension portion 102 formed corresponding to the second brush assembly 402.

[0050] The brush holder assembly in the present application is mainly used in a starter, and therefore, the number of the positive electrode brush assembly 4 and the number of the negative electrode brush assembly 5 in the present application are both two.

[0051] Since the present application realizes short circuit by making the positioning seat 9 contact with the extension part due to the thermal expansion of the insulating pad, when the motor or starter is overloaded, uneven heating may easily cause the expansion speed and effect of the insulating pad to be different. The present application can correspond to the first brush assembly 401 and the second brush assembly 402 respectively by forming the first extension part 101 and the second extension part 102 on the bottom plate 1. Therefore, even if the thermal expansion speeds of the first insulating pad 2 and the second insulating pad 3 are different, as long as the expansion of one side pushes the corresponding positive brush assembly 4 to contact the extension part, a short circuit can be formed to achieve overload protection.

[0052] In this embodiment, preferably, Figure 1 Combination Figure 2 As shown, the insulating pad includes a first insulating pad 2 and a second insulating pad 3 which are symmetrically arranged, and the first insulating pad 2 and the second insulating pad 3 are both fan-shaped sheet structures; the first insulating pad 2 and the second insulating pad 3 are arranged opposite to each other, and the first brush assembly 401 and the third brush assembly 501 are arranged on the first insulating pad 2, and the second brush assembly 402 and the fourth brush assembly 502 are arranged on the second insulating pad 3.

[0053] Since the main bodies of most motors or starters are cylindrical structures, the cross-section of the base plate 1 in the present application is circular. By setting the first insulating pad 2 and the second insulating pad 3 on the base plate 1, the present application can, on the one hand, enable a positive brush assembly 4 and a negative brush assembly 5 to form a group, so that they can provide a current circuit stably without affecting each other during operation; on the other hand, since the first insulating pad 2 and the second insulating pad 3 are fan-shaped sheet structures, they can better fit with the base plate 1 and reduce space occupancy.

[0054] It should be noted that the first insulating pad 2 and the second insulating pad 3 in the present application are symmetrically arranged with the diameter of the bottom plate 1 as the symmetry axis. In order to further improve the stability of the overall structure, preferably, the first brush assembly 401 and the third brush assembly 501 on the first insulating pad 2 and the second brush assembly 402 and the fourth brush assembly 502 on the second insulating pad 3 in the present application are symmetrically arranged.

[0055] In the present application, the first brush assembly 401, the second brush assembly 402, the third brush assembly 501 and the fourth brush assembly 502 are arranged at intervals along the circumference of the base plate 1, and the first brush assembly 401 and the third brush assembly 501 are symmetrically arranged with the second brush assembly 402 and the fourth brush assembly 502 with the diameter of the base plate 1 as the symmetry axis.

[0056] Since the end of the carbon brush 11 away from the elastic member 10 protrudes from the positioning seat 9, the symmetrical arrangement of the first brush assembly 401 and the third brush assembly 501 and the second brush assembly 402 and the fourth brush assembly 502 can make the armature evenly stressed after the end of all the carbon brushes 11 away from the elastic member 10 is in contact with the input shaft of the armature.

[0057] It should be noted here that since the brush holder assembly in the present application is mainly used in the starter, preferably, the brush mechanism in the present application includes two positive brush assemblies 4, namely the first brush assembly 401 and the second brush assembly 402, and two negative brush assemblies 5, namely the third brush assembly 501 and the fourth brush assembly 502.

[0058] Specifically, Figure 2 As shown, in the present application, the fuse 8 includes a first connecting portion 801 and a second connecting portion 802, and the number of first wires 6 corresponds to the number of positive brush assemblies 4; the first connecting portion 801 is connected to an end of the first brush assembly 401 away from the first extension portion 101 through the first wire 6, and the second connecting portion 802 is connected to an end of the second brush assembly 402 away from the second extension portion 102 through the first wire 6.

[0059] The first connection part 801 can be connected to one end of the first brush assembly 401 through the first wire 6, and the second connection part 802 can be connected to one end of the second brush assembly 402 through the first wire 6, so that the first brush assembly 401 and the second brush assembly 402 do not interfere with each other, thereby improving the stability of the overall mechanism.

[0060] Preferably, if Figure 1 Combination Figure 2 As shown, in the present application, the positive brush assembly 4 and the negative brush assembly 5 both include a positioning seat 9, an elastic member 10 and a carbon brush 11; the positioning seat 9 is connected to the insulating pad and the base plate 1, the elastic member 10 is arranged in the positioning seat 9, one end of the carbon brush 11 is connected to one end of the elastic member 10, and the other end protrudes from the positioning seat 9.

[0061] The positioning seat 9 in the present application is positioned with the base plate 1 by riveting, and the insulating pad is sandwiched between the positioning seat 9 and the base plate 1, and the insulating pad is connected to the base plate 1 by riveting. The positioning seat 9 has a receiving cavity, and the elastic member 10 and the carbon brush 11 are arranged in the receiving cavity, and one end of the elastic member 10 is connected to the positioning seat 9, and the other end is connected to the carbon brush 11, so that the carbon brush 11 can slide relative to the positioning seat 9, and the end of the carbon brush 11 away from the elastic member 10 is protruded from the positioning seat 9, so that it can contact the armature arranged in the hollow part of the above-mentioned annular base plate 1.

[0062] It should be additionally explained here that the elastic member 10 in the present application is a spring.

[0063] Furthermore, if Figure 1 Combination Figure 2 As shown, in the present application, one end of the first wire 6 is connected to the carbon brush 11 of the positive brush assembly 4, and the other end is connected to the fuse 8, and one end of the second wire 7 is connected to the carbon brush 11 of the negative brush assembly 5, and the other end is connected to the base plate 1.

[0064] like Figure 2 As shown, in the present application, there are two first wires 6, which correspond to the first brush assembly 401 and the second brush assembly 402 respectively, and there are two second wires 7, which correspond to the third brush assembly 501 and the fourth brush assembly 502 respectively. Since the carbon brush 11 is in contact with the armature, connecting the fuse 8 with the carbon brush 11 through the first wire 6 can better conduct the current.

[0065] Preferably, if Figure 2 As shown, the present application also includes a bushing 12 , which is connected to the base plate 1 , one end of the fuse 8 passes through the bushing 12 to contact the first wire 6 , and the other end passes through the bushing 12 to be arranged.

[0066] The fuse 8 in the present application is a fuse rod, the bushing 12 is connected to the base plate 1 and has a positioning hole, one end of the fuse rod passes through the positioning hole and is located close to the first brush assembly 401 and the second brush assembly 402, and forms a first connecting portion 801 and a second connecting portion 802 correspondingly, and the other end of the fuse 8 is connected to the positive pole of the external power supply and can be connected through a wire.

[0067] In addition, the present invention also provides an electric device including the brush holder assembly.

[0068] By adopting the electric device of the brush holder assembly provided in the present application, short-circuit protection can still be performed under low current conditions, thereby reducing the risk of ablation. In addition, the brush holder assembly provided in the present application can also control the internal short-circuit point during overload, thereby improving the safety of the overall device.

[0069] It should be additionally explained here that the electric device in the present application is a motor or a starter or other device using a carbon brush 11 and a brush holder assembly structure.

[0070] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention.
