Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of electric energy and signal transmission, and in particular to a connector. Background Art
[0002] Electric slip ring is also called collector ring, slip ring, collector ring, collector ring, etc. It can be used in electromechanical systems that can transmit power and signals from a fixed position to a rotating position while rotating continuously. It is a precision device that realizes the transmission of current, various signals, images, and gas and liquid between two pairs of relatively rotating devices. The present invention simplifies the product structure through modularization.
[0003] Existing rotary connector structures, such as Figure 1~Figure 4 As shown, it is composed of an upper support plate component 6, a lower support plate component 7, an existing rotor component 8 arranged between the upper support plate component 6 and the lower support plate component 7, and an existing shell 9 sleeved on the outer side of the upper support plate component 6 and the lower support plate component 7. The upper support plate component 6 and the lower support plate component 7 both include an existing support frame 10, and the existing support frame 10 is provided with a perforation for passing a plurality of brush wires 11 with a U-shaped structure, the opening end of the U-shaped structure penetrates the inner side of the existing support frame 10, and the other end is located on the outer side of the existing support frame 10, and the outer side of the existing support frame 10 is also provided with a plurality of external wires 12, and the plurality of external wires 12 are welded and connected to the plurality of brush wires 11 one by one. The rotary connector products generally have the problems of small size, difficulty in wiring, difficulty in realizing automation, and need to invest more manpower for manual production and assembly.
[0004] Specifically, the existing rotary connector structure has the following disadvantages: (1) The brush wire 11 is extremely thin, which is not only difficult to assemble, but also very easy to damage the brush wire 11 during the process of inserting the brush wire 11 into the existing support frame 10 and welding the brush wire 11 to the external conductor 12. The whole process is time-consuming, has a low pass rate and requires high operating ability of personnel.
[0005] (2) The operation process of the existing rotor component 8 is complicated. The inner conductor 13 needs to be welded inside the conductive ring of the existing rotor component 8. The diameter and width of the conductive ring are relatively small. While ensuring that the welding is reliable, the size of the welding point and the wire stripping must be strictly controlled to avoid short circuits and breakdowns between different circuits. Therefore, the operation requirements are extremely high.
[0006] (3) After the conductive ring welding is completed, the rotating shaft, conductive ring (with wire), and insulating ring of the existing rotor component 8 are assembled, and the inner wire 13 is passed through the front conductive ring and insulating ring in sequence, and finally passed through the rotating shaft. This process is difficult to automate, and due to the limited space inside the ring and the rotating shaft, the conductive ring closer to the back is more difficult to assemble.
[0007] The Chinese invention application with a publication date of 2023-01-13 and a publication number of CN115603137A discloses a brush structure, a brush and a conductive slip ring. The brush structure includes a brush holder and a brush wire assembly. The brush wire assembly includes a conductor plate and at least one group of brush wires. The conductor plate is detachably connected to the brush holder. Each group of the above-mentioned brush wires includes two groups of brush wires. One end of each group of brush wires is welded to the conductor plate, and the other end of each group of brush wires extends into the brush holder, and the two groups of brush wires in each group of brush wires are connected through the conductor plate. When assembling the brush, by providing a conductor plate separated from the brush holder, it is avoided that the operator directly fixes the brush wire on the brush holder. The brush wire is welded to the detachable conductor plate. Compared with operating directly on the brush holder, the conductor plate is unobstructed and has a more flexible operating space. At the same time, the brush wires no longer need to be inserted one by one into the wiring holes of the one-piece brush holder. The time taken to weld the brush wires to the conductor plate is much less than the time taken to perforate the brush wires in the brush holder. However, this application still requires welding the wires in the rotor component one by one before assembling the product. It is inevitable that each wire needs to be handled individually during the transfer process, making the process more cumbersome and inefficient. Summary of the invention
[0008] In view of the above technical problems, the present invention proposes a modular electric rotary connector to solve the problem that the rotary connector in the prior art needs to weld the wires in the rotor component one by one before assembling the product, and the assembly process also requires each metal wire to be handled individually, resulting in a cumbersome process.

It not only avoids the disadvantage of welding the wires one by one, but also avoids the problems of complex lines and difficult wiring in traditional wiring schemes. In addition, during the assembly process, it is not necessary to process each wire separately, which simplifies the structure, improves the assembly efficiency, and provides a more flexible interface for connecting printed circuit boards.
[0011] Furthermore, in order to facilitate the arrangement of multiple rows of inner conductors and select a suitable number of inner contact monomers as required, the inner contact component includes at least one inner contact monomer, in which an inner conductor is arranged, and the inner conductor is connected to the conductive ring of the rotor component.

[0013] Furthermore, in order to facilitate the arrangement of multiple inner contact monomers in rows, and to facilitate the arrangement of neat inner conductors of the wires and the connection of the inner conductors with the printed circuit board, the insulator is a rectangular plate structure, and matching positioning structures are provided between the insulators of adjacent inner contact monomers.
[0014] Furthermore, in order to facilitate the internal contact assembly to be installed inside the rotor component, a slotted body for inserting the internal contact component is provided inside the rotor component, and the inner surface of the conductive ring is exposed in the slot of the slotted body so that the internal contact component is in contact with the conductive ring.
[0015] Furthermore, in order to facilitate the connection between the printed circuit board and the rotor component, a guide pin for connecting the printed circuit board is provided at the end of the slotted slot body.
[0016] Furthermore, in order to modularize the external contact assembly and reduce the trouble of the assembly process, the external contact assembly includes an insulating plate and a contact piece arranged on the insulating plate; the insulating plate and the contact piece are fixed by forced installation, or the insulating plate and the contact piece are injection molded into an integrated structure.
[0017] Furthermore, in order to facilitate the connection between the external contact assembly and the conductive ring on the rotor component, the support member is provided with a forced slot for the external contact assembly to pass through, and the contact member elastically contacts the outer side of the conductive ring after passing through the forced slot.
[0018] Furthermore, in order to facilitate the assembly of the external contact assembly and the support component, four external contact assemblies are provided, with two in each group. The two groups of external contact assemblies are symmetrically arranged on the upper and lower sides of the support member, and the contact members on the two external contact assemblies in each group extend away from each other.
[0019] Furthermore, in order to limit the assembly between the support component and the rotor component, the support component is a cylindrical structure; or the support component includes an upper support member and a lower support member that are interlocked, and the inner side of the upper support member and / or the lower support member is provided with a step hole that cooperates with the rotor component, and a matching guide pin and / or guide hole is provided between the upper support member and the lower support member.
[0020] Beneficial effects of the present invention: 1. The contact piece of the inner contact assembly of the present invention contacts the inner ring of the conductive ring of the rotor component, and the outer contact assembly contacts the outer ring of the conductive ring of the rotor component, and can perform relative rotational motion, so that the inner conductors of the rotating end and the stationary end can be connected while the rotor rotates; 2.

The present invention simplifies the product structure by modularizing the internal and external contact components, the upper and lower support parts, and the rotor components. It does not need to assemble all the parts one by one, but can rely on precise tooling molds, which simplifies the manufacturing process and improves the precision of the parts. The structure is more intensive, which is convenient for realizing product automation and installation. 10. The present invention avoids the operator from directly fixing the brush wire on the brush holder by setting an insulating plate and a contact piece separated from the brush holder. The contact piece is fixed on the insulating plate. This structure has a more flexible operating space and a more diverse processing method. 11. The contact pieces of the present invention no longer need to be inserted into the wiring holes of the integrally formed brush holder one by one.

The modular internal conductor module of the present invention leads the rotating component out from the inside, which not only solves the problem of difficult wiring and messy wiring inside the slip ring, but also provides a more flexible interface. Not only traditional wiring can be performed at the interface between the internal contact component and the external contact component, but also printed circuit board welding can be performed, which greatly improves the modularization of the entire link and provides a new design solution for production automation in the field of rotary connectors.
