[0043] Embodiment 1

[0044] A specific embodiment of the present invention discloses a modular rotary transmission device, as Figure 1-4 shown, including: a power module, a power mandrel 9 and an outer cover; the power mandrel 9 is arranged inside the outer cover and can rotate relative to the outer cover;

[0045] The power module is installed on the outer cover; there is one or more groups of the power modules; each group of the power modules includes one or more groups of power brush components 5;

[0046] A power ring 6 is fixedly installed outside the power mandrel 9; the contact member of the power brush component 5 is in sliding contact with the power ring 6 and can realize electrical connection.

[0047] In a specific implementation manner of the present invention, the power module includes: a connecting piece 4, a power ring 6 and a power brush component 5.

[0048] Specifically, each group of power modules includes one or more power units. Each power unit includes: a power ring 6 and a group of power brush components 5. Adjacent power units are connected by a connecting piece 4 to achieve superposition of the carried current, as Figure 1 shown.

[0049] Exemplarily, when the power module includes 3 power units: there are 3 power rings 6, and the 3 power rings are longitudinally sleeved on the power mandrel 9; there are three groups of power brush components 5, and each group of power brush components 5 corresponds to a power ring 6. The power brush components 5 are arranged on the periphery of the power ring 6 and are in contact through the contact members.

[0050] Further, there are multiple power rings 6, and the multiple power rings 6 are sleeved outside the power mandrel 9 in parallel and are independent of each other; an insulating ring 7 is arranged between adjacent power rings 6. An insulating strip 8 is arranged between the power ring 6 and the power mandrel 9; as Figure 2 shown. By arranging the insulating ring 7 and the insulating strip 8, the isolation of different power rings 6 is realized, ensuring that each power ring 6 can be independently transported.

[0051] Further, as Figure 3 shown, each group of power brush assemblies 5 corresponds to one power ring 6.

[0052] In a specific embodiment of the present invention, as Figure 3 shown, four power brush assemblies 5 are in a group.

[0053] Specifically, four power brush assemblies 5 are correspondingly arranged for each power ring 6. Or rather, four power brush assemblies 5 are in surface contact with the same power ring 6. When the power ring 6 rotates, the brush wires 52 of the power brush assemblies 5 are in sliding contact with the power ring 6, realizing the rotational transmission of electricity.

[0054] Exemplarily, as Figure 2 shown, the selected transmission device has 5 power rings 6, and there are two groups of power modules. Among them, the first group of power modules includes two groups of power brush assemblies 5, and the two groups of power brush assemblies 5 correspond to the upper two power rings 6; the second group of power modules includes three groups of power brush assemblies 5, and the three groups of power brush assemblies 5 correspond to the lower three power rings 6.

[0055] Further, when the power module includes multiple groups of power brush assemblies 5, adjacent power brush assemblies 5 are connected by a connecting piece 4. Specifically, adjacent power brush assemblies 5 are connected by a connecting piece 4 to realize the superposition of transmitted currents, and finally soldered, which can increase the current-carrying capacity of the transmission channel.

[0056] In a specific embodiment of the present invention, the outer cover includes: a fixing ring 1 and a support rod 10; there are at least two support rods 10, and they are fixedly installed perpendicular to the fixing ring 1; multiple support rods 10 are evenly distributed in the circumferential direction of the fixing ring 1. Further, the fixing ring 1 is of an annular structure, the power mandrel 9 is coaxial with the fixing ring 1, and the power mandrel 9 is rotatably installed on the fixing ring 1 through a bearing 2. When the power mandrel 9 rotates relative to the support rod 10, the power brush assembly 5 rotates relative to the power ring 6, and the contact member slides and rotates relative to the power ring 6.

[0057] In a specific embodiment of the present invention, the power brush assembly 5 includes: a positioning plate 51, brush wires 52, a metal tube 53, and a first cable 54.

[0058] The positioning plate 51 is fixedly mounted on the support rod 10 ; there are a plurality of brush filaments 52 , and the brush filaments 52 are gathered in the metal tube 53 .

[0059] Specifically, the positioning plate 51 is fixedly connected to the support rod 10 by bolts. Figure 3 shown.

[0060] Specifically, the metal tube 53 passes through the positioning plate 51 and is fixedly connected to the positioning plate 51; preferably, the positioning plates 51 are arranged on both sides of the power ring 6 and are parallel to the tangent direction of the power ring 6, and the metal tube 53 is perpendicular to the tangent direction of the power ring 6. Preferably, the positioning plate 51 is made of insulating material; the material of the metal tube 53 is copper.

[0061] Furthermore, the contact member is a brush 52 made of metal. The brush 52 is in close contact with the outer surface of the power ring 6, and the power ring 6 still maintains sliding contact with the brush 52 when rotating; the brush 52 is made of hard metal, such as steel wire or iron wire.

[0062] Furthermore, the metal tube 53 passes through the positioning plate 51, and the two ends are respectively connected to the brush wire 52 and the first cable 54. Specifically, the brush wire 52 and the first cable 54 are respectively crimped on the two ends of the metal tube 53; the brush wire 52 is electrically connected to the first cable 54 through the metal tube 53, and the power ring 6 is electrically connected to the second cable to realize the rotation transmission of electric power.

[0063] In a specific embodiment of the present invention, Figure 3 As shown, a tinning hole 531 is provided on the metal tube 53 , and metal tin is filled in the tinning hole 531 . The metal tube 53 and the first cable 54 are reinforced by adding solder through the tinning hole 531 .

[0064] In a specific embodiment of the present invention, the positioning plate 51 is mounted on the support rod 10 and can be installed as needed. The lateral installation reduces damage to the surface of the power ring 6. At the same time, the installation of modules can be reduced to achieve low-power transmission. It has strong versatility and a high degree of interchangeability, realizes modular combination and deployment, effectively integrates resources, and reduces costs.

[0065] In a specific embodiment of the present invention, the support rod 10 has a threaded hole inside, and the power brush assembly 5 can be installed through the threaded hole on the support rod 10. The threaded hole is fixed to the slot in the positioning plate 51 by screws. The support rod 10 is made of stainless steel, aluminum alloy, polymer material and the like under the condition of meeting the strength requirement, and the length of the support rod 10 can be determined according to the number of superimposed power rings 6.

[0066] Further, a plurality of parallel mounting holes are provided on the positioning plate 51, and screws are installed in the mounting holes of the positioning plate 51 to be fixedly connected to the support rod 10. By adjusting the cooperation between different mounting holes and the threaded holes on the support rod 10, the relative position of the positioning plate 51 and the support rod 10 in the horizontal direction (radial direction of the power ring 6) can be adjusted, so that the positioning plate 51 can be horizontally displaced relative to the support rod 10, and further the brush wire 52 can be moved relative to the radial direction of the power ring 6, thereby adjusting the contact pressure between the brush wire 52 and the power ring 6, improving the contact reliability between the brush wire 52 and the power ring 6, and ensuring that the transmission device has a good transmission effect.

[0067] Further, each power unit can set different current-carrying bases for the power ring 6 according to the wall thickness and width of the power ring 6.

[0068] Exemplarily, one power ring 6 can be set to carry currents of nA, where n = 10A, 50A, 100A..., etc.

[0069] Further, by increasing the ring channels of the power ring 6, that is, the current load can be increased. That is to say, by stacking the number of power rings 6, the current load of the power module can be increased.

[0070] Exemplarily, with the current-carrying capacity of each power ring 6 being 100A, the rotary transmission device can arrange N power rings 6 according to the usage needs, where N = 5, 10, 20, 30,..., and each power module serves as a transmission channel. The rotary transmission device can correspondingly arrange a variety of combination methods according to the number and types of transmission channels.

[0071] Such as Figure 1 、 Figure 2 As shown, taking the number of power rings 6, N = 5, as an example, according to different stacking methods, up to M transmission channels can be combined, where M ≤ N. Or rather, when the number of power rings 6 is N, the number of power modules is M groups, where M ≤ N; each group of power modules has a number of power rings 6 greater than or equal to 1, and 7 combination methods can be combined.

[0072] For example, when five power rings 6 are stacked together, they can transmit a power of ≤500A, and when each power ring 6 is independent, each transmission channel can transmit a current of ≤100A.

[0073] Further, the structure of the rotary transmission device of the present invention adopts a symmetrical structure. The fixing rings 1 at the upper and lower ends are the same kind of parts, with strong interchangeability. The power brush assembly 5 is modularly designed, and the arrangement method of the power brush assembly 5 can be arbitrarily changed according to needs, thereby realizing the adjustment of the transmission power.

[0074] The outer surface of the power mandrel 9 is circumferentially provided with a plurality of insulating grooves, the insulating grooves extend along the axial direction of the power mandrel 9, and insulating strips 8 are installed in the insulating grooves.

[0075] Furthermore, a power retaining ring 3 is sleeved on the uppermost part of the power mandrel 9, and the power retaining ring 3 is used to press a plurality of power rings 6 and insulating rings 7.

[0076] Furthermore, in order to facilitate the combination of multiple groups of power brush assemblies 5, the connecting piece 4 is set as a modular structure.

[0077] In a specific embodiment of the present invention, the connecting piece 4 is modularly assembled by a plurality of connecting piece units 41.

[0078] Specifically, as Figure 5 shown, the connecting piece unit 41 includes: a threaded post 401, a connecting screw hole 402 and a flat plate portion 403. Among them, the threaded post 401 and the connecting screw hole 402 are respectively arranged at both ends of the connecting piece unit 41, and the threaded post 401 of one connecting piece unit 41 can be screwed into the connecting screw hole 402 of another connecting piece unit 41 to realize the connection of multiple connecting piece units 41.

[0079] Furthermore, the flat plate portion 403 is used to connect with the positioning plate 51 of the power brush assembly 5.

[0080] Furthermore, a plurality of tin storage holes 404 are arranged on the flat plate portion 403, metal tin is used to be injected into the tin storage holes 404, the plurality of tin storage holes 404 correspond to the metal tubes 53 on the power brush assembly 5, and the flat plate portion 403 and the metal tube 53 are connected by soldering.

[0081] Preferably, the tin storage holes 404 are tapered holes. Metal tin is put in from the large end of the tapered hole. During soldering, the metal tin melts and flows out from the small end of the tapered hole to adhere to the metal tube 53, and the flat plate portion 403 and the metal tube 53 are soldered and connected to realize circuit connection.

[0082] As Figure 6 shown, when it is necessary to connect two groups of power brush assemblies 5 with the connecting piece 4, the two connecting piece units 41 are connected through the threaded post 401 and the connecting screw hole 402, and the flat plate portions 403 of the two connecting piece units 41 are located on the same plane.

[0083] As Figure 7 shown, when it is necessary to connect three (multiple) groups of power brush assemblies 5 with the connecting piece 4, three (multiple) connecting piece units 41 are connected through the threaded post 401 and the connecting screw hole 402, and the flat plate portions 403 of the three (multiple) connecting piece units 41 are located on the same plane. The parallel connection of multiple groups of power brush assemblies 5 for power transmission is realized.

[0084] The connecting piece 4 of the present invention can adjust the functions of the connecting piece units 41 at any time as needed through the combination of multiple connecting piece units 41, connect multiple groups of power brush assemblies 5, and can adapt to the connection requirements of different numbers of power brush assemblies 5 without reprocessing and manufacturing the connecting piece 4. Moreover, adjacent connecting piece units 41 are connected by threaded posts 401 and connecting screw holes 402. By adjusting the screwing depth of the threaded posts 401, the length of the connecting piece 4 and the spacing between adjacent connecting piece units 41 can be adjusted to adapt to the spacing between different power brush assemblies 5.

[0085] As Figure 4 shown, when the power brush assembly 5 is independent, the metal tube 53 is directly connected to the first cable 54; as Figure 1 , Figure 2 shown, when multiple groups of power brush assemblies 5 are combined and connected through the connecting piece 4, the power brush assembly 5 is connected to the first cable 54 through the connecting piece 4.

[0086] During implementation:

[0087] An insulating strip 8 is installed on the power mandrel 9. The inner diameter of the power ring 6 is matched with the insulating strip 8. Adjacent power rings 6 are separated by insulating rings 7. The power ring 6 and the insulating ring 7 are sequentially sleeved on the power mandrel 9. After the power ring 6 and the insulating ring 7 are installed, they are fixed by power retaining rings 3 with screws, so that the power ring 6 is relatively fixed to the power mandrel 9. The power mandrel 9 and the power retaining ring 3 are respectively matched with the inner rings of two bearings 2. The fixing ring 1 is in interference fit with the outer rings of the bearings 2. The support rod 10 is fixed between the two fixing rings 1, so that the power ring 6 rotates relative to the power brush assembly 5 on the support rod 10, realizing the rotational transmission of the current between the power ring 6 and the brush wire 52.

[0088] Embodiment 2

[0089] A specific embodiment of the present invention provides a power transmission method for the modular rotational transmission device in Embodiment 1, including the following steps:

[0090] Step S1: Determine the current-carrying base number of the power ring 6; determine the supply current of the modular rotational transmission device;

[0091] Step S2: Determine the number of power rings 6 according to the current-carrying base number of the power ring 6 and the supply current of the modular rotational transmission device; determine the number of power modules and the number of groups of the power brush assemblies 5 included in each power module;

[0092] Step S3: Assemble the modular rotational transmission device. After power-on, the power ring 6 rotates relative to the power brush assembly 5; the brush wire 52 slides on the surface of the power ring 6 to achieve rotational transmission.

[0093] Further, in the step S1, the power supply current and power of the modular rotary transmission device are determined according to the power consumption requirements of the electrical equipment.

[0094] Further, in the step S2, each power module includes one or more groups of power brush assemblies 5; the maximum carrying current of the rotary transmission device is determined for the power module with the largest number of power brush assemblies 5. When the carrying current of the power ring 6 is nA and the power module includes m groups of power brush assemblies 5, the carrying current of this power module is n×m.

[0095] In a specific embodiment of the present invention, taking the upper limit of the current carried by each power ring 6 = 100A and the number of power rings 6, N = 5 as an example, exemplarily: when five power rings 6 are stacked together and the five groups of power brush assemblies 5 are connected by connecting pieces 4, a power of ≤500A can be transmitted. When each power ring 6 is independent, each transmission channel can transmit a current of ≤100A.

[0096] According to the power transmission channel combination mode table (Table 1), when the number of power rings 6 is 5, a maximum of 5 transmission channels can be combined, and there are 7 combination modes in total, and the transmission current range is ≤500A. When the upper limit of the current carried by each power ring 6 = 100A and the number of power rings N = 5, the power transmission channel combination mode is as follows in the table

[0097] Table 1 - Power transmission channel combination mode

[0098] Transmission channel / M 1 2 3 4 5 Combination mode 5 1+4 / 2+3 1+1+3 / 1+2+2 1+1+1+2 1+1+1+1+1 Maximum current carrying capacity / A 500 400 300 200 100

[0099] Further, by combining multiple groups of power brush assemblies 5 with connecting pieces 4, the maximum current carrying capacity of the transmission device is adjusted. The more the number of power brush assemblies 5 combined by the connecting piece 4, the greater the maximum current carrying capacity of the transmission device.

[0100] As shown in Table 1:

[0101] When there is one group of power modules: The connecting piece 4 combines the five groups of power brush assemblies 5, and the maximum current carrying capacity of the transmission device is 500A.

[0102] When there are two groups of power modules: The number of groups of power brush assemblies 5 in the first group of power modules is 1, and the number of groups of power brush assemblies 5 in the second group of power modules is 4. The connecting piece 4 combines the four groups of power brush assemblies 5, and the maximum current carrying capacity of the transmission device is 400A.

[0103] Or, the first group of power modules has 2 groups of power brush assemblies 5, and the second group of power modules has 3 groups of power brush assemblies 5. The connecting piece 4 combines a maximum of 3 groups of power brush assemblies 5, and the maximum current carrying capacity of the transmission device is 300A. As Figure 1As shown, the number of power rings 6 is 5, and there are two groups of power modules. Among them, the first group of power modules includes two groups of power brush assemblies 5, and the second group of power modules includes three groups of power brush assemblies 5.

[0104] When there are three groups of power modules: the number of power brush assemblies 5 in the first group of power modules and the second group of power modules is 1 each, and the number of power brush assemblies 5 in the third group of power modules is 3. The connecting piece 4 combines at most 3 groups of power brush assemblies 5, and the maximum current-carrying capacity of the transmission device is 300A. Or, the number of power brush assemblies 5 in the first group of power modules is 1, and the number of power brush assemblies 5 in the second group of power modules and the third group of power modules is 2 each. The connecting piece 4 combines at most 2 groups of power brush assemblies 5, and the maximum current-carrying capacity of the transmission device is 200A.

[0105] When there are four groups of power modules: three groups of power brush assemblies 5 are independent, the connecting piece 4 combines at most 2 groups of power brush assemblies 5, and the maximum current-carrying capacity of the transmission device is 200A.

[0106] When there are five groups of power modules: the five groups of power brush assemblies 5 are all independent, and the maximum current-carrying capacity of the transmission device is 100A.

[0107] Furthermore, in step S3, the assembly method of the modular rotary transmission device of the present invention is as follows:

[0108] Step S31: Install the insulating strip 8 in the insulating groove of the power mandrel 9, and successively sleeved the power ring 6 and the insulating ring 7 on the power mandrel 9. The inner diameter of the power ring 6 is matched with the insulating strip 8, and adjacent power rings 6 are separated by the insulating ring 7;
