[0001] This invention relates to a slip ring assembly structure for high current winding of a wound-rotor motor, belonging to the technical field of electrical transmission component structure. Background Technology

[0002] Some large-scale wound-rotor motors have long been plagued by slip ring issues, particularly the risk of slip ring failure and blowouts. This is because the slip ring chamber structure is complex, making it difficult to implement measures to prevent blowouts. Currently, with the increasing capacity of wound-rotor motors, some overseas customers are intentionally reducing rotor voltage, leading to a gradual increase in rotor current and various slip ring problems. These range from minor issues like accelerated wear of the slip rings and brushes, requiring frequent replacements, high slip ring temperatures, and excessive vibration, to more serious problems such as triggering overcurrent protection shutdowns or even causing slip ring failures and motor burnouts, resulting in increasingly higher operating, maintenance, and repair costs. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the above-mentioned shortcomings and provide a slip ring assembly structure for high current winding motor rotors, which rationally distributes brushes, reduces temperature rise, protects slip rings, ensures reliable motor operation, thereby reducing maintenance costs and improving motor reliability.

[0004] According to the technical solution provided by the present invention, a rotor through-shaft conductive busbar lead-out structure for an externally sliding wound coil motor includes:

[0005] A stationary unit, fixed to a motor base, includes a brush rod, a brush, a brush box, a retaining ring, a first insulating plate, a bent plate, and a sealing cover. The retaining ring is spaced apart on the brush rod by the first insulating plate.

[0007] The surface of the conductive ring is in contact with the brush.

[0008] As a further improvement of the present invention, insulating washers are provided at both ends of the brush rod to separate the fixing rings located at both ends of the brush rod from other metal parts.

[0009] As a further improvement of the present invention, a plurality of annular grooves are provided at intervals on the outer circumference of the conductive ring.

Detailed Implementation

[0022] The present invention will now be further described with reference to the embodiments shown in the accompanying drawings:

[0023] As shown in the figure, a rotor through-shaft conductive busbar lead-out structure for an externally sliding wound coil motor includes a stationary unit and a rotating unit;

[0024] The stationary unit is fixed on the motor base 24. The stationary unit includes a brush rod 1, a brush 2, a brush box 3, a fixing ring 4, a first insulating plate 5, a bending plate 7, and a sealing cover 18. The fixing ring 4 is spaced on the brush rod 1 through the first insulating plate 5. Brush boxes 3 are respectively provided on both sides of the fixing ring 4. The brush 2 is provided inside the brush box 3. One end of the brush rod 1 is fixed to the motor base 24, and the other end of the brush rod 1 is fixed to the bending plate 7. The stationary unit is provided with a sealing cover 18 on the outside, and one end of the sealing cover 18 is fixed to the motor base 24.

[0025] A rotating unit is fixed on a motor shaft 17. The rotating unit includes a locking plate 8, a conductive bar 9, an insulating tube 10, a baffle 11, a conductive ring 12, a second insulating plate 13, an insulating bushing 14, and a sleeve 15. The sleeve 15 is sleeved on the motor shaft 17. A locking plate 8 is provided at the end of the motor shaft 17 to limit the sleeve 15. An insulating bushing 14 is provided on the outer circle of the sleeve 15. Conductive rings 12 are provided on the insulating bushing 14 at intervals through the second insulating plate 13. A conductive bar 9 is fixed on the conductive ring 12. An insulating tube 10 is provided between the conductive bar 9 and the conductive ring 12. A baffle 11 is provided at the end of the sleeve 15 to limit the insulating bushing 14.

[0026] The surface of the conductive ring 12 is in contact with the brush 2. The brush 2 is generally made of metal graphite, which is both wear-resistant and tough and has high conductivity. It can reliably connect the rotor winding to the stationary fixed ring 4 so that an external power supply can be used to supply power to the rotor winding.

[0027] Insulating washers 6 are provided at both ends of the brush rod 1 to separate the fixing rings 4 located at both ends of the brush rod 1 from other metal parts.

[0028] The outer circumference of the conductive ring 12 is provided with multiple annular grooves 19 at intervals to increase the heat dissipation area of ​​the slip ring surface.

[0029] Multiple oblique ventilation holes 20 are provided on both sides of the conductive ring 12, and a ventilation groove 21 is provided in the middle of the conductive ring 12. The ventilation groove 21 is connected to the oblique ventilation holes 20. The oblique ventilation holes 20 are evenly arranged around the ventilation groove 21. In this way, the cooling air can cool the slip ring from the outside to the inside in the slip ring ventilation system, so that each conductive ring can be uniformly cooled.

[0030] The conductive ring 12 is provided with a conductive busbar mounting hole 22, which is a tapered hole. In order to improve the reliable connection between the conductive ring 12 and the conductive busbar 9, the joint between the conductive busbars is made into a tapered shape, which can better ensure the fit between the two when subjected to axial force during installation. The conductive busbar 9 and the conductive ring 12 are fixed by a gasket 16, which also aims to better ensure the fit between the two when subjected to axial force during installation.

[0031] The conductive ring 12 is provided with a plurality of weight-reducing and balancing holes 23. The weight-reducing and balancing holes 23 are located near the conductive busbar 9. The purpose of these holes is to balance the mass distribution of each part of the circumferential conductive ring 12 and prevent it from affecting the balance of the motor speed.

[0032] The working process of this invention is as follows:

[0033] When the motor is running, the external power supply is connected to the fixed ring 4. The current flows through the metal fixed ring and disperses to each brush 2. Due to its unique wear resistance, softness, and high conductivity, the brush 2 contacts the conductive ring 12 during rotor rotation, ensuring reliable current conduction to the conductive ring 12. The conductive ring 12 is reliably connected to the conductive busbar 9 through a tapered interface, ultimately connecting the current to the rotor windings through the conductive busbar 9, thus enabling the external power supply to power the rotor windings. As the motor capacity increases, the rotor current increases, and the heat generated by the conductive ring 12 also becomes more severe. However, using the unique heat dissipation structure of the conductive ring 12 in this patent, the external cooling air of the slip ring enters the ventilation groove 21 and then enters the oblique ventilation holes 20 on both sides, effectively and evenly dissipating heat at the root of each conductive ring 12, preventing the slip ring from being "cold on the outside and hot on the inside" during motor operation, and reducing the risk of backfire. In addition, the ventilation and heat dissipation of the spiral groove 19 on the outer circumference of the conductive ring effectively ensures the operational reliability of the high-capacity, high-rotor-current wound-rotor motor.
