Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of slip rings, in particular to a mercury-substituting slip ring structure. Background Art
[0002] Mercury slip rings are widely used in automation equipment such as electroplating assembly line equipment and lightning arresters. Mercury slip rings are mechanical seal structures, and their contacts are composed of mercury. During operation, the mercury slip ring will have a temperature rise when passing through a large current load, which can cause the mercury slip ring to volatilize faster. Therefore, existing mercury slip rings have the disadvantages of being volatile, not environmentally friendly, highly toxic, not resistant to high temperatures, and having a short lifespan. Utility Model Content
[0003] In order to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art, the utility model provides a mercury replacement slip ring structure.
[0004] A mercury replacement slip ring structure, comprising:
[0005] A main shaft (1), wherein the main shaft (1) is a copper ring, and the copper ring is used for a rotor terminal (11);
[0006] A housing (2), the housing (2) being used for a stator terminal (21);
[0007] At least two bearings (4), the two bearings (4) being mounted on the copper ring at a preset interval; the housing (2) being mounted on the copper ring and wrapping one of the bearings (4);
[0008] An end cover (5), the end cover (5) is assembled on the copper ring, contacts the housing (2), and wraps another bearing (4);
[0009] A metal brush bundle (3), wherein the metal brush bundle (3) is welded to the outer surface of the shell (2);
[0010] A jacket (6) is mounted on the outside of the housing (2) and seals the metal brush bundle (3) inside.
[0011] Preferably, the metal brush bundle (3) is made of precious metal.
[0012] Preferably, a sealing ring (7) is provided between the shell (2) and the outer sleeve (6).
[0013] Preferably, a ring channel is provided on the copper ring, and the copper ring is also used for passage.
[0014] Preferably, a ring channel is provided on the shell (2), and the shell (2) is also used as a passage.
[0015] Preferably, when the outer sleeve (6) is assembled on the outer side of the shell (2), a mechanical seal is used at the contact point (8) between the outer sleeve (6) and the shell (2).
[0016] Preferably, the shell (2), the end cover (5) and the outer sleeve (6) are all made of metal.
[0017] The mercury replacement slip ring structure provided by the utility model changes the contacts of the traditional mercury slip ring into precious metal brush bundles. At the same time, the shell and the main shaft can be used as passages. The structure is simpler and easy to assemble. It does not contain mercury volatiles and has the characteristics of environmental protection, high temperature resistance and long service life. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
