[0025] The following are specific embodiments of the present invention and the accompanying drawings to further describe the technical solution of the present invention, but the present invention is not limited to these embodiments.
[0026] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the carbon brush holder of the automobile generator includes a barrel-shaped insulating shell 1 and a square barrel-shaped conductive member 2 vertically arranged in the insulating shell 1. The insulating shell 1 is open at the top and closed at the bottom, and the insulating shell 1 is made of plastic; the conductive member 2 is made of copper alloy or aluminum alloy.
[0027] Specifically,
[0028] The conductive member 2 is surrounded by two side walls 2a and two side walls 2b arranged in parallel, and the side wall 2a and the side wall 2b are arranged vertically.
[0029] like Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, the outer diameter of the conductive member 2 is smaller than the inner diameter of the insulating shell 1, and the central axes of the conductive member 2 and the insulating shell 1 are collinear. A long strip-shaped convex portion 2c is vertically formed on the middle outer wall of the two side walls 2a, and the two convex portions 2c are pressed against the inner wall of the insulating shell 1. A slot 2d is axially penetrated through the two convex portions 2c, and two clamping strips 1a1 matching the slot 2d are formed on the inner wall of the insulating shell 1, and the two clamping strips 1a1 are clamped in the two slots 2d respectively. With the convex portion 2c pressed on the inner wall of the insulating shell 1 and the slot 2d and the clamping strip 1a1 working together, the conductive member 2 is firmly locked in the insulating shell 1, making the structure of the carbon brush holder extremely stable.
[0030] The outer diameter of the conductive member 2 is set to be smaller than the inner diameter of the insulating shell 1, and the conductive member 2 only contacts the inner wall of the insulating shell 1 at the middle of the side wall 2a, so that there is a large gap between the conductive member 2 and the insulating shell 1, and the gap is used to accelerate the heat dissipation of the conductive member 2, so that the generator can work stably.
[0031] It is further explained that the inner hole of the insulating shell 1 is a square that matches the conductive member 2 to increase the area of the gap formed between the insulating shell 1 and the conductive member 2 and further accelerate the heat dissipation of the conductive member 2.
[0032] In this embodiment,
[0033] The convex portion 2c is formed as follows: the inner side of the middle portion of the side wall 2a is concave outward to form the convex portion 2c on the outer side of the middle portion of the side wall 2a, that is, the conductive member 2 is formed into the above-mentioned convex portion 2c by pressing and deforming, which is not only convenient for processing, but also can reduce material input. Preferably, the cross section of the convex portion 2c is in an arc shape to enhance the structural strength of the conductive member 2.
[0034] The shape of the slot 2d is as follows: the cross section of the slot 2d is roughly U-shaped, so as to increase the contact area between the slot 2d and the clamping strip 1a1 and improve the positioning strength of the conductive member 2.
[0035] The structure of the insulating shell 1 is as follows: it includes a plugging cap 1b and a cylindrical body 1a with both ends open, the plugging cap 1b is fixed inside the lower end of the body 1a and closes the lower end of the body 1a, the conductive member 2 is vertically arranged inside the body 1a and pressed on the plugging cap 1b, and the clamping strip 1a1 is arranged on the inner wall of the body 1a. The insulating shell 1 adopts a split structure, which is convenient for processing and assembly.
[0036] in,
[0037] The main body 1a and the clip strip 1a1 are integrally formed by injection molding, which has the advantages of convenient processing and stable structure.
[0038] The plugging cap 1b is screwed into the lower end of the main body 1a, and a strip groove 1b1 is radially opened on the bottom wall of the plugging cap 1b for cooperating with a tool to facilitate the rotation of the plugging cap 1b for disassembly and assembly.
[0039] like Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, a straight groove 1c is also provided on the inner wall of the insulating shell 1. The length of the straight groove 1c extends vertically, and the upper end of the straight groove 1c extends to the top surface of the insulating shell 1. There are two straight grooves 1c, which are respectively arranged opposite to the two side walls 2b. The upper ends of the two straight grooves 1c provided on the inner wall of the insulating shell 1 are open and respectively opposite to the two side walls 2b, so that a larger gap is formed between the insulating shell 1 and the two side walls 2b, further accelerating the heat dissipation of the conductive member 2. Preferably, the cross section of the straight groove 1c is roughly U-shaped to increase the size of the straight groove 1c.
