Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of electrically conductive ring, especially to an electrically conductive ring. BACKGROUND

[0002] Bearings have been widely used in the fields of automobile industry, mechanical manufacturing, aerospace, marine engineering, military, etc. due to their excellent characteristics of reducing friction, supporting and positioning, bearing load, reducing energy consumption, prolonging equipment life, etc. However, in the motor industry, especially in the application of high-voltage motors above 400V, there are several situations that can cause bearing electric corrosion:

[0003] 1. Electric leakage: In mechanical equipment, especially in motor-driven equipment, if the grounding of the motor is poor or the insulation system is aging, it may cause leakage current to pass through the bearing. When the leakage current passes through the bearing, it will form an electric arc, causing partial discharge and electric corrosion.

[0004] 2. Static electricity accumulation: In high-speed or plastic component-equipped equipment, static electricity is prone to accumulate. If static electricity is not released in time, electric current may pass through the bearing, causing discharge and electric corrosion.

[0005] 3. Improper current loop: In some industrial equipment or generators, bearings sometimes accidentally become part of the current loop, and current flows from the shaft to the ground through the bearing. In this case, the bearing will gradually show signs of electric corrosion after long-term operation.

[0006] 4. Variable frequency drive motor (VFD): Motors using variable frequency drives are particularly prone to bearing electric corrosion. Variable frequency drives generate high-frequency voltage, which forms a current through the motor shaft and bearing, causing electric corrosion problems to be particularly common in variable frequency motors.

[0007] Electric corrosion can cause many hazards, such as bearing surface damage, lubricant degradation, increased noise and vibration, shortened bearing life, and other phenomena. This seriously hinders its application. Especially for high-voltage motors with a voltage exceeding 800V, higher platform voltage raises shaft voltage, higher switching frequency means more breakdown times, higher motor power causes a surge in induced energy, and more demanding operating conditions make the bearing oil film more prone to breakdown, and special attention must be paid to the electric corrosion risk of the side bearing of the reduction gearbox. The motor electrically conductive ring is a device that uses an electrically conductive medium to guide the motor shaft current to the motor housing, avoiding the production of bearing electric corrosion caused by shaft current passing through the bearing. In theory, under the condition that the resistance of the electrically conductive ring is small enough, the bearing can effectively avoid the defect of electric corrosion.

[0008] Currently, the structure of the electrically conductive ring mainly includes carbon brush type, multi-layer superposition type, porous press-fitting type, etc.

[0009] The structural principle of the carbon brush type is that a carbon rod is installed radially on the conductive ring, a spring is installed in the radial direction of the carbon rod, and the spring pushes the carbon rod to the center of the conductive ring. Under the pushing force of the spring, the carbon rod is always pressed on the rotating motor shaft to transmit the motor shaft current from the high-speed rotating shaft to the shell. Further, the voltage of the shaft and the shell of the motor is 0 or the voltage difference is 0, thereby avoiding bearing electric corrosion.

[0010] The structural principle of the multi-layer superposition type is that the upper layer, the middle layer and the lower layer of the conductive ring are respectively manufactured by injection molding or machining process. The conductive body (for example, conductive fiber) is installed on the middle layer, and the three layers are fixed together by bolts or molding glue and the like process to form the conductive body (for example, conductive fiber) which can contact the high-speed rotating motor shaft and the conductive ring body which can be installed on the conductive ring of the motor shell. The function of guiding the motor shaft current to the shell is realized, and the bearing electric corrosion is eliminated.

[0011] The structural principle of the multi-hole press-fit type is that a single conductive ring body is machined by machining, a through installation hole of the conductive body (for example, conductive fiber) is machined in the radial direction, and a press-fit forming hole of the conductive body (for example, conductive fiber) is machined in the axial direction of the end face of the conductive ring, which corresponds to the through installation hole of the conductive body (for example, conductive fiber) in one-to-one correspondence. The conductive body (for example, conductive fiber) is fixed in each press-fit forming hole by using a press machine, thereby forming the structure of the conductive ring. The function of guiding the motor shaft current to the shell or the ground is realized, and the motor bearing electric corrosion is eliminated.

[0012] At present, the conductive ring manufactured by the carbon brush type has large structure size, the carbon brush has physical wear, a large amount of carbon powder is easily formed, the wear is fast, and the service life of the conductive ring is short. The multi-layer superposition type conductive ring has too many parts, which leads to low production efficiency and high production cost, and there is a risk of safety hidden danger caused by falling of fasteners. The multi-hole press-fit type conductive ring has more machining surfaces, needs to use a machine tool with three or more axes, and has high production equipment cost; the number of press-fit forming holes is large, and needs to be machined one by one, so the production efficiency is also low.

[0013] It can be seen that the prior art still needs to be improved and improved. Practical new type content

[0014] In view of the defects of the prior art, the purpose of the present application is to provide a conductive ring, which aims to solve the technical problems of fast wear, short service life, complex machining, high production cost and low efficiency caused by the structure of the conductive ring in the prior art.

[0015] In order to achieve the above purpose, the present application adopts the following technical scheme:

[0016] The utility model provides a conductive ring, wherein, including conductive ring body and a plurality of conductive fiber bundles, the conductive ring body annularly is provided with a plurality of radial holes for installing the conductive fiber bundle, the radial hole is close to the one end of the inside of conductive ring body and is provided with the rounded corner structure, the one side of conductive ring body is recessed and is provided with the front extrusion slot, the other side of conductive ring body is recessed and is provided with the back extrusion slot, and the front extrusion slot is used for the outside pressure machine extrusion deformation to make the inner wall of radial hole compress the conductive fiber bundle with the back extrusion slot.

[0017] Specifically, a plurality of radial holes are annularly arranged around the axis of the conductive ring body, and the axes of the plurality of radial holes are located on the same plane.

[0018] Specifically, the front extrusion slot and the back extrusion slot are both annular slots coaxial with the conductive ring body, and the outer diameter of the front extrusion slot is smaller than the inner diameter of the back extrusion slot.

[0019] Specifically, the conductive ring body is provided with at least two axial holes penetrating through two sides of the conductive ring body in the axial direction, and the at least two axial holes are staggered with the plurality of radial holes, respectively.

[0020] Specifically, the radial hole is provided with an inverted right angle structure close to one end of the outside of the conductive ring body.
