Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of conductive slip ring reliability testing technology, and in particular to a device and method for testing the electrical contact reliability and stability of a brush slip ring. Background Technology
[0002] As a core electromechanical component for transmitting electrical energy / signal between rotating and stationary parts, conductive slip rings are widely used in high-end equipment fields such as aerospace, defense, wind power, and medical equipment. Their reliability directly determines the operational safety of the host system and the success or failure of the mission.
[0003] In recent years, with the pursuit of extreme performance and reliability in extreme environments, some high-end equipment has put forward requirements for long life and high speed electrical transmission of conductive slip rings. However, the life and reliability of conductive slip rings under extreme service conditions are not satisfactory. At present, the mainstream technical means to improve the life and reliability of conductive slip rings is grease lubrication. However, the lubricating film formed under electro-mechanical combined load has a complex impact on the friction and wear of sliding contact interface and electrical transmission behavior. Research on the interface friction and electrical contact behavior of conductive grease-lubricated slip rings is a fundamental scientific problem to overcome the problem of long-term service reliability under extreme conditions. It is urgent to develop testing and evaluation technologies that are interdisciplinary, including tribology, materials science and electronic engineering.
[0004] The existing technology has the following drawbacks: Typically, the pin-disc test structure, contact mode, motion mode, and loading mode and path of composite loads such as current and mechanical loads are significantly different from the actual working conditions. The friction and wear characteristics and electrical transmission stability of the electrical contact pair are closely related to the actual contact geometry, the relative sliding mode of the interface, and the loading mode of current and mechanical loads. Therefore, the results based on the pin-disc test cannot accurately reflect the actual service behavior of the conductive slip ring. The sliding electrical contact test of conductive slip rings is usually aimed at solid lubricating materials such as various precious metal coatings. At present, there is no test for the electrical contact characteristics of conductive grease under the service conditions of grease-lubricated slip rings. Current testing equipment and methods mainly focus on the tribological characteristics under high current, and there is currently no test for the signal transmission stability in sliding contact with low current. Currently, there is a lack of testing methods for the dynamic and static characteristics of electrical contact behavior, and a lack of testing methods that can coordinate the study of multiple input-output relationships such as lubrication, load, speed, current, VI relationship, voltage waveform, temperature, friction torque, and wear morphology.
[0005] In summary, this invention proposes a device and method for testing the reliability and stability of electrical contact of brush slip rings, aiming to overcome the above-mentioned shortcomings of the prior art and provide technical support for promoting the engineering application of grease-lubricated conductive slip rings.

The rotating shaft 6 is connected to the bearing seat 7 through the bearing. A slip ring mechanism is located at the end of the rotating shaft 6 away from the bearing seat 7. The bottom end of the rotating shaft 6 passes through the bearing seat 7 and is equipped with a first coupling 8. Preferably, the first coupling 8 is a magnetic coupling. The use of a magnetic coupling is for two reasons: firstly, to isolate vibration and improve the acquisition accuracy of weak torque signals; and secondly, to provide insulation and prevent possible leakage current from harming the system or personnel. A second fixed seat 9 is installed in the middle of the side wall of the first fixed plate 2. A torque sensor 10 is installed on the second fixed seat 9. The output end of the torque sensor 10 is connected to the magnetic coupling of the first coupling 8.
[0025] The input end of the torque sensor 10 is connected to a second coupling 11, the bottom end of the second coupling 11 is connected to a power input shaft 12, and the bottom end of the power input shaft 12 is connected to a transmission mechanism.
[0026] like Figure 3 As shown, a motor 13 is installed at the rear end of the top surface of the first fixed base 3.

[0027] like Figure 4 As shown, a first clamping ring 17, several conductive ring assemblies, and a second clamping ring 18 are sequentially fitted onto the end of the rotating shaft 6 away from the bearing seat 7. The first clamping ring 17 and the second clamping ring 18 are coaxial with the rotating shaft 6 and fixed to the rotating shaft 6 by set screws. Each conductive ring assembly is composed of a single insulating spacer 20, a single conductive ring 19, and a single insulating spacer 20 stacked coaxially to form a "sandwich" structure.

[0029] like Figure 5As shown, a first guide rail 21 is installed on the front end of the top of the second fixed plate 4. A first slider 22 is respectively sleeved on both ends of the first guide rail 21. The first slider 22 slides along the first guide rail 21, and the two first sliders 22 move closer to each other or further away from each other along the first guide rail 21. An external circuit board 23 is installed on the side wall of the first slider 22. The external circuit board 23 is insulated from the first slider 22 to prevent the current from harming the system or personnel. A brush fixing member 24 is installed on the side wall of the external circuit board 23. The end of the elastic brush 5 away from the conductive ring 19 is fixed to the brush fixing member 24.
[0030] A second guide rail 25 is installed in the middle of the top surface of the second fixed plate 4. A second slider 26 is sleeved on the second guide rail 25. A transmission component is provided between the first slider 22 and the second slider 26. An adjustment component is provided between the second slider 26 and the second fixed plate 4.
[0031] The top of the first slider 22 is connected to a first rotating shaft 29, which is equipped with a bearing. One of the first rotating shafts 29 is connected to a first rocker arm 27 via a bearing, and the other first rotating shaft 29 is connected to a second rocker arm 28 via a bearing. Both the first rocker arm 27 and the second rocker arm 28 can rotate around the bearing on the first rotating shaft 29. The top of the second slider 26 is connected to a second rotating shaft 30, which is equipped with a bearing. The other ends of the first rocker arm 27 and the second rocker arm 28 are both connected to the second rotating shaft 30 via bearings. The two first rotating shafts 29 and the second rotating shaft 30 form an isosceles triangle, with the second rotating shaft 30 located at the vertex of the isosceles triangle.
[0032] A force sensor 32 is installed at the rear end of the second slider 26. A connecting plate 33 is integrally formed at the rear end of the top surface of the second fixing plate 4. A force adjustment rod 31 is threaded through the connecting plate 33 and is threadedly connected to the connecting plate 33. The front end of the force adjustment rod 31 is connected to the rear end of the force sensor 32.
[0033] like Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, the two external circuit boards 23 are connected to the positive and negative terminals of the power supply 36 via wires. The power supply 36 is used to provide current or voltage to the sliding contact circuit between the elastic brush 5 and the conductive ring 19. The two brush holders 24 are connected to a digital multimeter 37 via wires. The digital multimeter 37 is used to measure the contact voltage drop. The two brush holders 24 are connected to an oscilloscope 38 via wires. The oscilloscope 38 is used to measure the contact voltage waveform. An infrared camera 34 is arranged in front of the contact point between the elastic brush 5 and the conductive ring 19. The infrared camera 34 is used to measure the temperature at the contact point. An optical microscope 35 is arranged in front of the contact point between the elastic brush 5 and the conductive ring 19. The optical microscope 35 is used to observe the surface morphology near the contact point.
[0034] The brush filament slip ring electrical contact reliability and stability testing device and method provided by the present invention can be fixed in the air or fixed in a vacuum chamber for testing. When testing in a vacuum chamber, electronic equipment such as power supply 36, digital multimeter 37, and oscilloscope 38 can be externally mounted through electrical flange interface. Infrared camera 34 and optical microscope 35 are also placed outside the vacuum chamber and the information at the contact point can be observed through the observation window.
[0035] The adjustment and testing process of the brush filament slip ring electrical contact reliability and stability testing device and method provided by this invention is as follows: S1: Before testing, adjust the position of the slip ring mechanism on the rotating shaft 6 to align the conductive ring 19 to be tested with the elastic brush 5, ensuring that the two symmetrically arranged elastic brushes 5 do not interfere with the upper and lower insulating spacers 20 on the conductive ring 19 to be tested. The force adjustment rod 31 drives the power sensor 32 to move back and forth along the second slider 26, thereby driving the vertex of the isosceles triangle to move back and forth. Due to the constraint of the first swing rod 27 and the second swing rod 28, the two first sliders 22 on the first guide rail 21 move left and right around the axis of symmetry of the isosceles triangle, thereby driving the symmetrically arranged elastic brushes 5 to open or close. Before testing, move the position of the force sensor 32 by the force adjustment rod 31 to make the two elastic brushes 5 close together and contact the cylindrical surface of the conductive ring 19 to be tested. The magnitude of the contact force is calculated by the reading of the force sensor 32. When a certain contact force is reached, lock the position of the force adjustment rod 31.
[0036] S2: Before testing, a certain amount of grease is supplied to the contact point between the conductive ring 19 and the elastic brush 5 using a metering grease injector. The motor 13 is started and run at low speed for a certain period of time until a uniform oil film is formed on the entire surface of the conductive ring 19. Then the test is stopped.
[0037] S3: Measure the VI relationship of the grease-lubricated contact in either a static or sliding state, calculate the resistance value using the voltmeter-ammeter method, and simultaneously measure the contact voltage waveform using oscilloscope 38 when measuring the VI relationship of the grease-lubricated contact in the sliding state. In a static state, the VI relationship of the grease-lubricated contact is measured. The current value changes from 0 to I in steps of ΔI, and then changes from I back to 0. The time for each current value is 45 seconds. The voltage drop at each current value is measured using a digital multimeter 37. The VI relationship diagram is plotted, and the static contact resistance value is calculated by the volt-ampere method. In the sliding state, the VI relationship of the grease-lubricated contact is measured. The speed of motor 13 changes from 0 to ω in steps of Δω, and then changes from ω back to 0. The application time for each speed is 45 minutes. At the same time, the current value is scanned stepwise according to the settings in the static state, and the voltage drop at each current value is measured using digital multimeter 37. The VI relationship graph under different speeds is plotted, and the dynamic contact resistance value is calculated by the volt-ampere method. When measuring the VI relationship of the grease-lubricated contact in the sliding state, the contact voltage waveform of the grease-lubricated contact in the sliding state is simultaneously measured. An oscilloscope 38 is used to monitor the contact voltage waveform of each motor at 13 speeds, and the monitoring is performed once every 10 minutes. You can choose to measure either the stationary state or the sliding state separately, or you can measure them alternately in a cycle.
[0038] S4: Observe and photograph the morphology of the contact surface of the conductive ring 19 using an optical microscope 35 under static or dynamic conditions of the motor 13 each time.
[0039] To determine the effect of lubricant on performance, a certain amount of lubricant can be added during the test based on the degradation of the contact voltage waveform.
[0040] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention and not to limit them. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications or equivalent substitutions can still be made to the technical solutions of the present invention, and these modifications or equivalent substitutions cannot cause the modified technical solutions to deviate from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of the present invention.

S3: Measure the VI relationship of grease-lubricated contacts in static or sliding states, calculate the resistance value using the voltmeter-ammeter method, and simultaneously measure the contact voltage waveform using an oscilloscope when measuring the VI relationship of grease-lubricated contacts in sliding states. S4: Observe the morphology of the contact surface of the conductive ring using an optical microscope under each static or dynamic condition of the motor, and measure the temperature at the contact point using an infrared camera.
