The patented equipment is used to grind the new carbon brush, and the arc surface can be matched in 4 hours, extending the service life of the slip ring;

[0019] It should be noted that there are more than one hundred carbon brushes in the generator. Due to the inevitable installation error of the carbon brushes, when the carbon brushes are in contact with the generator rotor slip ring, each carbon brush has a curved surface, which is not universal and has differences. Therefore, a universal adjustment mechanism 6 is required to adjust the angle.

[0020] Specifically, the universal adjustment mechanism 6 includes an upper shell 6.1, a lower cover 6.3 and a universal ball head 6.4.
