When the brush 10 is installed in the brush accommodating part 11, the limiting protrusion 12 is located in the vertical movable slot 13, preventing the brush 10 from being separated downward from the brush accommodating part 11.

[0039] As an embodiment, the lower end of the vertical movable slot 13 is communicated to the lower end surface of the brush 10.

Since the elastic restoring force of the constant force spring 3 within the effective stroke is a constant value, the brush 10 can maintain a stable brush pressure with the conductive part 20 of the trolley line 2, the brush 10 is always in contact with the trolley line 2 during sliding, and the excessive wear of the brush 10 caused by excessive brush pressure can be avoided, thereby increasing the service life of the current collector, reducing the failure rate, and effectively ensuring the smooth progress of the production process. It can be understood that the brush 10 is in an initial state when it is just installed in the brush accommodating part 11, and a new brush 10 needs to be replaced when the brush 10 is worn to the limit state, thereby ensuring the safety of production.

[0041] The extension section 31 is arranged along the vertical direction between the fixed end and the curved end 30, the fixed end comprises a connecting section 32 and a mounting section 33 arranged corresponding to the mounting groove 14, and the connecting section 32 is connected to the mounting section 33 and the extension section 31 on both sides, respectively. When the constant force spring 3 is installed, the mounting section 33 can be inserted into the mounting groove 14 upwardly.

The buckle connection facilitates the fixation of the slide wire 2 on the mounting rail 21 and prevents the slide wire 2 from falling off.

[0046] As an implementation form, the slide wire 2 is provided with a plurality of isolation strips 24 on the front side, and the brush guide groove 25 is arranged between adjacent isolation strips 24. The conductive part 20 is arranged at the bottom of the brush guide groove 25.

[0047] As an implementation form, the conductive part 20 is a conductive sheet, and the isolation strip 24 and the brush guide groove 25 are integrally formed. The installation is convenient, and the contact failure of the slide wire 2 is reduced.

[0048] As an implementation form, the current collector body 1 is mounted on a mobile device.

[0049] As an implementation form, the mobile device is a shuttle shell replacing device 4 of an embroidery device.

The number of the slide rails 5 is two, and the slide rails 5 are arranged on the upper and lower sides of the mounting rail 21, respectively. The rack 50 is arranged on the front side of the slide wire 2. The shuttle shell replacing device 4 is slidably mounted on the corresponding slide rail 5 through a sliding block. A driving motor is arranged in the shuttle shell replacing device 4. A gear is connected with the output end of the driving motor. The shuttle shell replacing device 4 is connected to the rack 50 matched therewith through the gear. The constant force spring 3 is adopted to keep the brush 10 and the conductive part 20 of the slide wire 2 in stable brush pressure. The brush 10 is always in contact with the slide wire 2 during the sliding process. The excessive wear of the brush 10 caused by excessive brush pressure is avoided. The service life of the current collector is increased. The maintenance and repair frequency of the shuttle shell replacing device 4 and the current collector is reduced. The stable operation of the current collector and the shuttle shell replacing device 4 is ensured. The equipment maintenance cost is reduced, and the production efficiency is improved.
