[0049] In the embodiment, the elastic insulator 2 may be a rubber insulator, the connecting piece 3 may be a copper sheet or other metal sheet, and the insulating packaging shell 6 may be a plastic packaging shell.

[0050] Furthermore, the early warning signal can be transmitted to an automation control unit, such as a PLC automation control system, to achieve automatic control. After receiving the early warning signal, the automation control unit can automatically issue an alarm or perform a shutdown operation.

[0051] The above solution can realize real-time monitoring and early warning of the wear degree of copper brushes in electroplating lines, which can improve production efficiency, reduce equipment failure rate and ensure product quality.
