AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

The brush structure in existing slip rings is complex and prone to uneven wear due to factors such as vibration, which leads to changes in contact resistance and reliability issues.

Method used

An outer ring is used as the brush body, which contacts the conductive ring. The conductive contact structure consists of an elastic element and an insulating pressure plate. After the outer ring wears out, the elastic element compensates for the contact, simplifying the structure and avoiding uneven wear.

Benefits of technology

The simplified slip ring structure avoids the problem of uneven brush wear, improves reliability and stability, and ensures the continuity of power and signal transmission.
