Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the field of permanent magnet DC torque motor, and particularly relates to a simulation design method of spring sheet of DC torque motor. BACKGROUND
[0002] Permanent magnet DC torque motor is a DC motor with permanent magnet to establish excitation magnetic field. The motor mainly consists of stator, rotor and brush. During the operation of the motor, when the driving torque and resistance reach balance, the motor rotates at a constant speed. If the resistance torque increases, the efficiency will decrease and the motor will heat up. Conversely, if the resistance torque decreases, the output of the motor may become unstable. Therefore, it is very important to strictly control the resistance torque of the motor to improve the efficiency and stability of the motor.
[0003] The resistance torque of brush permanent magnet DC torque motor mainly consists of friction torque caused by shaft system friction, friction torque caused by the contact between brush and commutator, and magnetic resistance torque caused by slot effect. Among them, the friction torque caused by the contact between brush and commutator accounts for a larger proportion than the other two parts. Therefore, under the requirements of product starting voltage and resistance torque, the brush pressure is controlled in the maximum range to ensure the stability of the contact between brush and commutator, so as to stabilize the friction torque of brush assembly within a certain range and reduce the fluctuation range during rotation, which is an effective way to control the resistance torque of the motor.
[0004] The brush is a transition component for conducting electricity between the rotating part and the fixed part of the motor, which consists of brush holder, brush head and spring sheet. The spring sheet is pressed on the surface of the commutator by a certain pressure applied by the spring sheet, and the brush and the commutator surface form a sliding contact during the operation of the motor. As a kind of elastic element, the spring sheet will deform after being loaded due to its elastic effect. If the spring sheet pressure is not designed reasonably, especially after experiencing vibration, impact and other environmental tests, the brush pressure will be unstable, which will cause unstable contact between the brush and the commutator, and make the motor resistance torque fluctuate.
