Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of motor manufacturing technology, and more specifically, to a shaft current extraction device. Background Technology

[0002] Electrolytic corrosion is one of the factors causing premature failure of motor shafts. In engineering applications, grounding carbon brushes are usually used to eliminate the potential difference between the inner and outer rings of the shaft to prevent electrolytic corrosion. However, commonly used grounding carbon brushes have disadvantages such as wear requiring regular maintenance and replacement, and the generation of carbon powder affecting the motor's insulation environment. To address this problem, carbon fiber brushes with good conductivity and wear resistance have emerged.

[0003] However, existing publicly available carbon fiber brushes still use individual fiber bundle brush heads as basic units to form a circumferential brush with a cantilever structure. This type of fiber brush has two significant drawbacks: First, the individual fiber bundle brush heads represent dispersed point contact, which makes them more prone to dispersion under stress, failing to guarantee a continuous and stable contact state. Furthermore, the cantilevered brush heads lack sufficient restoring force after being subjected to stress, leading to fluctuations in contact force and high frictional resistance during high-speed rotation (or high contact tangential velocity). Second, the individual fiber bundle brush heads need to be individually fixed, resulting in a complex fixing structure and cumbersome assembly process. Ultimately, this leads to unstable contact force and high manufacturing costs.

[0004] Existing technology CN113178980B discloses a shaft grounding protection device, which includes: a device body, the device body being annular, having at least one mounting hole on its side wall, the mounting hole being in a first direction, the first direction being towards the center of the device body and penetrating radially along the device body; and conductive fibers, the conductive fibers passing through the mounting hole to be disposed on the device body, the conductive fibers extending towards the center of the device body; wherein, when the conductive fibers pass through the mounting hole, the pressure in a second direction of the mounting hole is adjusted to achieve crimping between the conductive fibers and the device body, the second direction being perpendicular to the first direction, and during crimping, a pressure force is applied inward along the axial direction of the device body on both sides of the device body to crimp the conductive fibers into the device body, so that the conductive fibers are fan-shaped in the mounting hole, and crimping holes are formed at the points of application of the pressure force on the device body.

[0005] Existing carbon fiber brushes still use individual fiber bundles as basic units to form a circumferential brush with a cantilever structure. This type of fiber brush also suffers from the two significant drawbacks mentioned above: first, the individual fiber bundles cannot guarantee a continuous and stable contact state and result in high frictional resistance; second, the fixing structure of the individual fiber bundles is complex and the assembly process is cumbersome. In other words, existing technologies cannot solve the technical problems of unstable brush head contact force and high manufacturing costs. Utility Model Content

[0014] Preferably, the baffle includes bent pieces disposed on the arc-shaped outer wall of the fixed bracket; a slot is provided between the connected bent pieces.

[0015] Preferably, the slots are spaced apart.

[0016] Preferably, the dispensing device further includes a ring fitted inside a fixed bracket, with a semi-circular protrusion surrounding one end face of the ring, the diameter of which is the same as the diameter of the brush head.

[0017] Preferably, the number of protrusions corresponds to the number of brush heads.

[0034] Example 1

[0035] like Figures 1-5 As shown, an axial current extraction device is disclosed. The extraction device includes a circular fixed bracket 1 and a carbon fiber bundle 10. The carbon fiber bundle 10 is bent and disposed on the fixed bracket 1. The arc portion of the carbon fiber bundle 10 protruding from the inner wall of the fixed bracket 1 forms a brush head 2 that contacts the rotating shaft. The extraction device also includes a baffle for fixing the carbon fiber bundle 10. The baffle is connected to the fixed bracket 1.

[0036] In this embodiment, the fixing bracket is made of a material with good conductivity. The fixing bracket 1 is set in an arc shape, and the fiber bundle is bent and set on the fixing bracket 1. The arc part of the carbon fiber bundle 10 protruding from the inner wall of the fixing bracket 1 communicates with the brush head 2 which is in contact with the rotating shaft. The brush head 2 contacts the rotating shaft (rotating part), thereby dissipating static electricity on the rotating shaft and effectively preventing electro-corrosion of the rotating shaft. Since the brush head 2 is in contact with the rotating shaft, in order to prevent the carbon fiber bundle 10 from shifting relative to the fixing bracket 1 due to the contact force between the rotating shaft and the brush head when the shaft rotates, a baffle can also be set on the fixing bracket 1. The baffle fixes the carbon fiber bundle 10, thereby effectively preventing the carbon fiber bundle 10 from deviating relative to the fixing bracket 1 and ensuring effective contact between the brush head 2 and the rotating shaft.

[0037] The brush head 2 of this invention adopts an arc-shaped line contact, resulting in a large contact area, low contact resistance with the rotating shaft, and stable and reliable contact. Even at high speeds, it possesses sufficient restoring force to maintain good contact performance. This ensures stable contact force and reduces brush head damage.

[0038] Example 2

[0039] A shaft current extraction device is disclosed. The extraction device includes a circular fixed bracket 1 and a carbon fiber bundle 10. The carbon fiber bundle 10 is bent and disposed on the fixed bracket 1. The arc portion of the carbon fiber bundle 10 protruding from the inner wall of the fixed bracket 1 forms a brush head 2 that contacts the rotating shaft. The extraction device also includes a baffle for fixing the carbon fiber bundle 10. The baffle is connected to the fixed bracket 1.

[0040] The difference between this embodiment and Embodiment 1 is that, to facilitate fixing the carbon fiber bundle 10 to the fixing bracket 1, an annular groove 9 can be provided on the arc-shaped outer wall of the fixing bracket 1. First through holes 3 are spaced apart within the annular groove 9, connecting the annular groove 9 to the arc-shaped inner wall of the fixing bracket 1. One end of the carbon fiber bundle 10 is placed in the annular groove 9, and the other end passes back and forth through the spaced first through holes 3. Ultimately, the carbon fiber bundle 10 located on the arc-shaped outer wall side is securely fixed within the annular groove 9, while the carbon fiber bundle 10 located on the arc-shaped inner wall side forms multiple semi-circular arc sections, which constitute the brush head 2 in contact with the rotating shaft. Simultaneously, the diameters of the first through holes 3 and the annular groove 9 are exactly matched with the diameter of the carbon fiber bundle 10. This design forms several semi-circular "arch-shaped" brush heads 3, ensuring that the brush heads 3 do not diverge, have good overall rigidity, and strong rebound ability when subjected to contact force. Since the diameters of the annular groove 9 and the first through hole are the same as the diameter of the carbon fiber bundle 10, they can effectively fix the carbon fiber bundle 10, thereby preventing the carbon fiber bundle 10 from sliding relative to the fixed bracket 1 and ensuring that the brush head 2 is in contact with the rotating shaft.

[0041] In this embodiment, to further secure the carbon fiber bundle 10, a second through hole 4 for securing the tail of the carbon fiber bundle 10 can be provided in the annular groove 9. Specifically, the number of first through holes 3 can be set to 18, so that when the carbon fiber bundle 10 is bent, 9 brush heads 2 can be formed.

[0042] The brush head 2 of this invention adopts an arc-shaped line contact, resulting in a large contact area, low contact resistance with the rotating shaft, and stable and reliable contact. It also possesses sufficient restoring force to maintain good contact performance even at high speeds.

[0043] Example 3

[0044] A shaft current extraction device is disclosed. The extraction device includes a circular fixed bracket 1 and a carbon fiber bundle 10. The carbon fiber bundle 10 is bent and disposed on the fixed bracket 1. The arc portion of the carbon fiber bundle 10 protruding from the inner wall of the fixed bracket 1 forms a brush head 2 that contacts the rotating shaft. The extraction device also includes a baffle for fixing the carbon fiber bundle 10. The baffle is connected to the fixed bracket 1.

[0045] The difference between this embodiment and the above embodiment is that the baffle specifically includes an annular piece 5 disposed on the arc-shaped outer wall of the fixed bracket, and slots 6 are provided at intervals on the annular piece 5. The annular piece 5 can rotate relative to the fixed bracket 1 under the action of external force. Specifically, the annular piece 5 and the fixed bracket 1 are integrally formed. The annular piece 5 bends and deforms under the action of external force, thereby covering the carbon fiber bundles 10 in the annular groove 9. The purpose of providing the slots 6 is to facilitate the bending of the annular piece 5.

[0046] In this embodiment, to ensure that each brush head 2 is the same size, the delivery device may also include a ring 7 for winding the brush head, the outer diameter of the ring 7 being the same as the inner diameter of the fixing bracket 1. A semi-circular protrusion 8 is arranged around one end face of the ring 7, the diameter of the protrusion 8 being the same as the diameter of the brush head 2. First, the ring 8 is fitted into the fixing bracket 1, and then the carbon fiber bundle 10 passes through the first through hole 3 to the arc-shaped inner side of the fixing bracket 1, and then passes around the protrusion 8 through the second first through hole 3 into the annular groove 9. Finally, the carbon fiber bundle 10 completes the bending in sequence. The simple flange clamping and fixing method results in a simple structure, requires no additional fixing parts, and is convenient for mass production.

[0047] By adding a removable ring mold, the dimensions of each brush head 2 are ensured to be consistent. At the same time, it significantly reduces the winding time of the carbon fiber bundle 10, thereby improving the manufacturing efficiency of this device.

[0048] In the accompanying drawings, the same or similar reference numerals correspond to the same or similar components; the positional relationships depicted in the drawings are for illustrative purposes only and should not be construed as limiting this patent. Clearly, the above-described embodiments of this utility model are merely examples for clearly illustrating this utility model, and are not intended to limit the implementation of this utility model. Those skilled in the art can make other variations or modifications based on the above description. It is neither necessary nor possible to exhaustively list all embodiments here. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, and improvements made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the protection scope of the claims of this utility model.
