Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of carbon brush technology, specifically to a carbon brush for a water pump in a new energy vehicle. Background Technology
[0002] Carbon brushes for water pumps in new energy vehicles are key components used in water pump motors. Their main function is to transmit current from the power source to the motor rotor through contact with the commutator during motor operation, thereby driving the motor to rotate and enabling the water pump to work.
[0003] When the carbon brushes are severely worn or damaged, the water pump will experience reduced water output or intermittent water flow. In this case, the carbon brushes need to be replaced. Conventional carbon brushes have a spring at the end, which allows the carbon brush to maintain stable contact with the commutator. When replacing carbon brushes, the base plate brush holder needs to be removed first, then the carbon brush needs to be installed, and then it needs to be installed with the commutator. Because the spring compresses one end of the carbon brush, the other end of the carbon brush will extend into the round hole where the commutator is installed. This makes it difficult for the commutator to pass through the round hole during installation, resulting in installation difficulties and low carbon brush replacement efficiency.
