Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of commutator segment technology, specifically to bimetallic commutator segments for motor commutators. Background Technology

[0002] The commutator serves a rectification function, which is to make the direction of the current in the armature winding alternate so as to ensure that the direction of the electromagnetic torque remains constant. Its main structure consists of multiple metal commutator segments mounted on a cylindrical insulating cylinder. To ensure conductivity, the commutator segments are usually made of copper.

[0003] However, to ensure installation strength, a protruding plug structure is usually provided on the side of the carbon brush mating point installed inside the insulating cylinder; and copper materials are expensive and heavy. If the entire commutator segment is made of copper, it is difficult to reduce the overall cost and weight while ensuring connection strength.

[0004] Based on this, the present invention designs a bimetallic commutator segment for a motor commutator to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0005] In view of the above-mentioned shortcomings of the existing technology, the present invention provides a bimetallic commutator segment for motor commutators.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:

[0007] Bimetallic commutator segments for motor commutators, including commutator segments;

[0008] The commutator segment is made of aluminum-copper composite structure; the part where it mates with the carbon brush is made of copper and the part where it inserts is made of aluminum; the cross-section of the insert is set as an I-shape consisting of two horizontal bars of different lengths and a vertical bar; the long horizontal bar is fixedly connected to the part where it mates with the carbon brush, and the outer side of the short horizontal bar is symmetrically set as an inclined surface; the side of the insert has side grooves evenly spaced.

[0009] Furthermore, the carbon brush is fitted with a silver-copper alloy at all points.

[0010] Furthermore, the side groove is shaped as an isosceles trapezoid, with the shorter side of the isosceles trapezoid located at the middle of the long crossbar of the insert block.

[0011] Furthermore, end slots are provided at both ends of the insert.

[0012] Compared with the prior art, the advantages of this utility model are as follows: 1. By selecting an aluminum-copper composite structure, the performance of the commutator segments is guaranteed, the installation strength of the commutator segments is guaranteed, the connection strength between the carbon brush mating point and the plug is guaranteed, and the cost and overall weight of the commutator are reduced. During operation, multiple sets of commutator segments are installed on the insulating sleeve through plugs, and insulating seams are provided between the commutator segments, with the carbon brush mating point located on the outside of the insulating sleeve. The performance of the commutator is guaranteed by using a silver-copper alloy material at the carbon brush mating point. At the same time, by setting the cross-section of the plug to an I-shape consisting of two horizontal bars of different lengths and a vertical bar, the connection strength between the plug and the insulating sleeve is guaranteed, as well as the circumferential support strength. The axial support strength between the plug and the insulating sleeve is guaranteed by the setting of side grooves and end grooves. By setting the shape of the side groove to an isosceles trapezoid, with the short side of the isosceles trapezoid located in the middle of the long horizontal bar of the plug, the overall structural strength of the plug is guaranteed, allowing the plug to withstand axial force and ensuring that the inner thickness is sufficient to resist shear force.
