Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of motor accessories, and particularly to a motor end cover. Background Art
[0002] In a motor, a brush is an important component, which is responsible for introducing the current of an external power supply into the rotating part (such as a rotor) of the motor, thereby realizing the transmission of current. In the traditional design of a motor end cover, the brush is usually installed on a fixed brush holder and connected to an external circuit through a lead wire. For example, in a previous application of our company, the application number is 2018210161906, a disclosed end cover with a brush. However, the brush of this kind of end cover is led out and connected through a lead wire from a through hole. During the commissioning stage of the motor, it is necessary to conduct connection tests on the lead wires of the brush. The traditional method usually uses alligator clips to clamp the lead wires respectively for testing. This method is not only time-consuming but also inefficient and difficult to achieve automated operation.
[0003] Therefore, this application improves the structure of the cover body and the brush piece, and proposes an improved motor end cover. Utility Model Content
[0004] Aiming at the deficiencies in the background art, the present utility model provides a motor end cover.
[0005] The technical solution adopted by the present utility model is: a motor end cover, including an end cover body and a brush. A fixing groove for fixing the brush is provided on the end cover, and a brush lead piece is further included. After the brush lead piece is attached to the brush, they are together clamped into the above-mentioned fixing groove. The bottom of the fixing groove has a through groove extending to the surface of the end cover, and the brush lead piece has an extending end extending out from the through groove.
[0006] Further, four positioning notches are equidistantly arranged on the outer circle of the end cover surface, and the extending end is located within the positioning notch.
[0007] Further, the vertex of the extending end is lower than the surface of the end cover, and the vertex of the extending end is higher than the bottom surface of the positioning notch.
[0008] Further, the distance from the vertex of the extending end to the surface of the end cover is 0.1 - 1 cm.
[0009] Further, the distance between the vertex of the extending end and the bottom surface of the positioning notch is 0.3 - 1.5 cm.
[0010] Further, reinforcing ribs are provided on the end cover body outside the positioning notch.
[0011] Further, the brush lead piece includes an integrally formed fixing piece and the above-mentioned extending end, and guiding inclined surfaces are provided on the four side walls at the top of the extending end.
[0012] Furthermore, the fixing piece is attached to the fixing part of the carbon brush. A connection hole is provided on the fixing part of the carbon brush, and a connection stud for connecting into the above connection hole is provided on the fixing piece.
[0013] Furthermore, after the connection stud passes through the connection hole, a part of it protrudes from the surface of the fixing part of the carbon brush, and a groove for engaging with the connection stud protruding from the surface of the fixing part is provided on the side wall of the fixing groove.
[0014] Furthermore, both the connection stud and the connection hole are two.
[0015] The beneficial effects of the present utility model are as follows:
[0016] 1. Simplify the debugging process: By providing an extension end that extends out of the surface of the end cover body in this application as a connection point for the automated tooling, it is no longer necessary to use alligator clips to clamp the leads one by one. Instead, the test can be directly carried out by using the working point on the extension end. This method greatly simplifies the debugging steps, facilitates the realization of automated assembly and testing, improves the debugging efficiency, and reduces the debugging time.
[0017] 2. Enhance the reliability of electrical connection: After the carbon brush lead piece is attached to the carbon brush and then the two are snapped into the fixing groove together, it ensures good electrical contact between the two. The design of the fixing groove ensures the stable positions of the carbon brush and the lead piece, avoiding loosening or falling off caused by vibration or other factors, and enhancing the reliability of the electrical connection.
[0018] 3. Improve the heat dissipation performance: The extension end of the carbon brush lead piece can extend out from the through groove on the surface of the end cover, which helps with heat dissipation. It increases the air circulation space, contributes to the overall thermal management of the motor, and prolongs the service life of the carbon brush.
[0019] 4. Reduce costs: By simplifying the installation and debugging process, the labor cost and time cost are reduced.

[0043] Specifically, the fixing piece is fitted to the fixing part of the brush, a connection hole 14 is provided on the fixing part of the brush, and a connection stud 15 for connecting to the above-mentioned connection hole is provided on the fixing piece.
[0044] In this embodiment, a connection stud is provided on the fixing piece. Through the cooperation of the connection stud and the connection hole on the fixing part of the brush, a firm connection between the brush and the brush lead piece is achieved, enhancing the reliability of the electrical connection.
[0045] Specifically, after the connecting convex post 15 passes through the above-mentioned connecting hole 14, a part of it protrudes from the surface of the fixing part of the brush, and a groove 16 that engages with the connecting convex post 15 protruding from the surface of the fixing part is provided on the side wall of the fixing groove.
[0046] In this embodiment, the connecting convex post passes through the connecting hole and a part of it protrudes from the surface of the fixing part of the brush, and engages with the groove on the side wall of the fixing groove, further enhancing the mechanical connection strength between the brush lead piece and the brush, and avoiding the loosening problem that may occur during the operation of the motor.
[0047] Specifically, both the connecting convex post and the connecting hole are two.
[0048] In this embodiment, both the connecting convex post and the connecting hole are two. Such a design ensures the double fixation between the brush lead piece and the brush, improves the stability and reliability of the connection, and reduces the risk of unstable connection caused by single-point connection.
