DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0025] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present application, rather than all the embodiments of the present application. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative labor fall within the scope of protection of the present application.

[0026] Embodiment 1: as shown in the accompanying Figure 1 and the accompanying Figure 2The multi-channel conductive slip ring shown includes a housing 1, a stator 2, a rotor 3, and a conductive medium 4. The stator 2 includes multiple stator conductors 5 and multiple concentrically arranged stator insulating sleeves 6 that separate each stator conductor 5 from the others. The stator conductors 5 have a cylindrical structure. The rotor 3 includes multiple rotor conductors 7 and multiple concentrically arranged rotor insulating sleeves 8 that separate each rotor conductor 3 from the others. The rotor conductors 7 have a cylindrical structure. The stator 2 and rotor 3 are connected relative to each other. The stator insulating sleeves 6 and rotor insulating sleeves 8 are mated together to form multiple cavities 9 that separate the corresponding stator conductors 5 and rotor conductors 7. Each cavity 9 is independent of the others. The conductive medium 4 fills the cavities 9. The conductive medium 4 can be a liquid conductive metal such as mercury or gallium alloy. The housing 1 is fixed outside the stator 2. The rotor 3 is connected to the housing 1. A bearing 10 is provided between them; the conductive slip ring also includes a rotor sleeve 11, a plurality of rotor leads 12 and a plurality of stator leads 13. The ends of the rotor conductors 7 away from the stator 2 all extend into the rotor sleeve 11, and one end of each rotor lead 12 extends into the rotor sleeve 11 and abuts against the corresponding rotor conductor 7. The rotor sleeve 11 is provided with a first potting compound 14 for fixing the rotor conductors 7 and rotor leads 12 together. The outermost stator insulating sleeve 6 is provided with an extension 15 at the end away from the rotor 3. The ends of the stator conductors 5 away from the rotor 3 all extend into the extension 15, and one end of each stator lead 13 extends into the extension 15 and abuts against the corresponding stator conductor 5. The extension 15 is provided with a second potting compound 16 for fixing the stator conductors 5 and stator leads 13 together. The rotor lead 12 abuts against the corresponding rotor conductor 7, and the stator lead 13 abuts against the corresponding stator conductor 5. Both are fixed with potting compound. Neither the rotor conductor 7 nor the stator conductor 5 is exposed to the outside, so they are not easily affected by external rings. The fixing effect is good, the structure is more stable and reliable, and leakage is less likely to occur, which has the advantage of higher safety.

[0027] As attached Figure 1 and attached Figure 2 As shown, a sealing assembly 17 is sandwiched between the rotor insulating sleeve 8 and the stator insulating sleeve 6. This ensures the airtightness between the two, ensuring that the conductive medium 4 is sealed in the corresponding cavity 9, preventing it from flowing into the adjacent cavity 9 or short-circuiting with the adjacent channel.

[0028] As attached Figure 1 and attached Figure 2As shown, the sealing assembly 17 includes an elastic element 18 and a sealing gasket 19 sequentially disposed axially between the rotor insulating sleeve 8 and the positioning insulating sleeve. The elastic element 18 is made of an elastic material, such as rubber, spring steel, or elastic plastic. The combination of the elastic element 18 and the sealing gasket 19 significantly improves the sealing performance between the rotor insulating sleeve 8 and the stator insulating sleeve 6. Even if the rotor insulating sleeve 8 experiences wear later, the elastic element 18 can compensate for the increased gap, preventing leakage.

[0029] As attached Figure 1 and attached Figure 2 As shown, the bearing 10 is sleeved on the outermost rotor insulating sleeve 8, and the outer periphery of the rotor insulating sleeve 8 is provided with a first limiting step 20. The inner end of the inner ring of the bearing 10 abuts against the first limiting step 20, and the outer end of the inner ring of the bearing 10 abuts against the inner end of the rotor sleeve 11. The outermost stator insulating sleeve 6 on the stator 2 is provided with a limiting flange 21 on its outer periphery, and the limiting flange 21 abuts against the inner end face of the outer shell 1. This design allows for the positioning and installation of the stator 2 and the rotor 3, ensuring that they are properly inserted and fitted.

[0030] As attached Figure 1 and attached Figure 2 As shown, the conductive slip ring also includes a secondary seal 22 with an annular structure. The secondary seal 22 includes an annular sealing portion 23 and a conical sealing portion 24 disposed on the inner circumference of the annular sealing portion 23. The two are an integral structure. The inner side of the outer shell 1 is provided with a second limiting step 25 for supporting the outer ring of the bearing 10. The annular sealing portion 23 is sandwiched between the second limiting step 25 and the outer ring of the bearing 10. The inner circular surface of the conical sealing portion 24 abuts against the outer circumference of the outermost rotor insulating sleeve 8. This secondary seal 22 can prevent external moisture and dust from entering the interior of the outer shell 1 and affecting the insulating sleeves and conductors. It can also block the leakage of conductive medium 4 between the stator 2 and the rotor 3, preventing the conductive medium 4 from seeping out and causing safety accidents and environmental damage.

[0031] Example 2: As shown in the attached document Figure 3 and attached Figure 4 As shown, based on Embodiment 1, the conductive slip ring further includes a pressure sleeve 26. The outer circular surface of the pressure sleeve 26 is fitted with the inner circular surface of the opening at the upper end of the outer shell 1. The outer end of the pressure sleeve 26 has an annular protrusion 27 extending outward and abutting against the upper end of the outer shell 1. The outer circular surface of the pressure sleeve 26 has multiple hemispherical positioning protrusions 28, and the inner circular surface of the outer shell 1 has multiple positioning recesses 29 that fit with the positioning protrusions 28. By setting the pressure sleeve 26 to reinforce the bearing 10, the bearing 10 is prevented from falling out of the outer shell 1 during use, further improving the stability of the structure.

[0032] As attached Figure 3and attached Figure 4 As shown, the upper end of the outer casing 1 is provided with multiple guide grooves 30 extending vertically and communicating with corresponding positioning recesses 29. The depth of the guide grooves 30 is less than the depth of the positioning recesses 29. This facilitates the insertion and positioning of the pressure sleeve 26 into the outer casing 1, making assembly and disassembly more convenient. Alternatively, the guide grooves 30 can also be a combination of vertical and circumferential grooves, i.e., the pressure sleeve 26 is pressed into the outer casing 1 and then rotated, achieving the installation of the pressure sleeve 26 through two actions.
