AI Technical Summary
Existing technologies make it difficult to improve the lifespan of carbon brushes in small DC motors without increasing motor size, and increasing the length of carbon brushes would increase the space required for the motor, making it impossible to balance the requirements for motor size and lifespan.
An improved carbon brush and brush holder structure is adopted, with the length of the carbon brush designed to be two to three times its width. Combined with a straight brush holder and carbon tube, the carbon brush and brush holder are connected by a spring, and a contact arc surface is set on the end face of the carbon brush to improve the initial break-in and reduce spark generation.
Without increasing the space in the motor, the lifespan of the carbon brushes is extended, and sparks are reduced by improving the break-in process, thereby increasing the overall lifespan of the motor.
