[0047] Embodiment 3
[0048] Reference Figures 2-4 For the third embodiment of the utility model, different from the previous embodiment, the trigger unit 300 includes a carbon brush contact 301, the carbon brush contact 301 includes two T-shaped rods 301a slidingly penetrating into the servo motor 102, the inner wall of the servo motor 102 is fixedly connected with two support plates 301b, the two T-shaped rods 301a sequentially penetrate the corresponding support plates 301b and rectangular frames 202, and are in contact with the corresponding spring carbon brushes 203, the two T-shaped rods 301a are fixedly sleeved with discs 301c, the top of the two discs 301c is fixedly connected with telescopic springs 301d sleeved on the T-shaped rods 301a, and the bottom of the two support plates 301b is fixedly connected with pressure sensors 301e.

[0050] When the carbon block is consumed to a certain extent, the bottom end of the T-shaped rod 301a is out of contact with the carbon block, and the extension spring 301d will press the disc 301c downward, so that the bottom end of the T-shaped rod 301a is inserted into the rectangular frame 202, at this time, the disc 301c is out of contact with the pressure sensor 301e, so that the pressure sensor 301e no longer senses the pressure, thereby sending a signal to the controller 103, so as to send a reminder signal through the reminding unit 400.
[0051] In addition, the triggering unit 300 further comprises a protection assembly 302, the protection assembly 302 comprises two protection pipes 302a connected to the outer wall of the servo motor 102, the top ends of the two T-shaped rods 301a are located in the two protection pipes 302a respectively, and the top ends of the two protection pipes 302a are threadedly sleeved with sealing covers 302b.

[0055] Embodiment 4
[0056] Referring toFigure 2 and Figure 3 This is the fourth embodiment of the present utility model. Unlike the previous embodiment, the reminder unit 400 includes a horizontal block 401 fixedly connected above the outer wall of the servo motor 102, and two indicator lights 402 are fixedly connected to the top of the horizontal block 401.
[0057] The top of the horizontal block 401 is a horizontal surface to highlight the indicator light 402. The indicator light 402 has a light-emitting and color-changing LED inside. The indicator light 402 is electrically connected to the controller 103 via wires. When the pressure sensor 301e is in contact with the disc 301c, the indicator light 402 lights up green. When the controller 103 receives a signal that the pressure sensor 301e has lost pressure from the disc 301c, the controller 103 controls the indicator light 402 to light up red. The color emitted by the indicator light 402 serves as a reminder to the user so that the spring carbon brush 203 can be replaced in time.
[0058] Among them, two indicator lights 402 are respectively close to two protective tubes 302a, and a buzzer 403 located between the two indicator lights 402 is fixedly connected to the top of the horizontal block 401.
[0059] The two indicator lights 402 correspond to the two pressure sensors 301e, and the two pressure sensors 301e correspond to the spring carbon brushes 203 below them. The working status of the corresponding spring carbon brushes 203 can be displayed intuitively and clearly through the indicator lights 402 at different positions, so as to replace the spring carbon brushes 203 at the corresponding positions. When the indicator light 402 is red, the controller 103 uses the built-in wire to control the internal speaker of the buzzer 403 to emit a sound, so as to further remind the user to replace the spring carbon brushes 203.
[0060] During use, first remove the two sealing caps 302b and the two cover plates 201, then pull the two T-shaped rods 301a upwards. Next, slide the two spring carbon brushes 203 into the two rectangular frames 202 respectively, and make them contact the commutator 104. Then, fix the two cover plates 201 to the servo motor 102 with bolts. Then, loosen the two T-shaped rods 301a, so that the bottom ends of the two T-shaped rods 301a are in contact with the spring carbon brushes 203 below them, and the two discs 301c continue to be in contact with the corresponding pressure sensors 301e. At this time, the controller 103 controls the indicator light 402 to light up green. Then, rotate and fix the two sealing caps 302b to their respective protective tubes 302a. As the spring carbon brushes 203 are continuously consumed, the length of the carbon block will continuously shorten and move towards the commutator 104 through its own spring.
[0061] When a certain spring carbon brush 203 is consumed to a certain extent, the bottom end of the T-shaped rod 301a is out of contact with the carbon block of the spring carbon brush 203, and the extension spring 301d will press the disc 301c downward, so that the bottom end of the T-shaped rod 301a is inserted into the rectangular frame 202. At this time, the disc 301c is out of contact with the pressure sensor 301e, so that the pressure sensor 301e no longer senses the pressure and sends a signal to the controller 103. The controller 103 controls the red indicator light 402 to turn on and the buzzer 403 to sound, so as to remind the user to replace the spring carbon brush 203. The position of the red indicator light 402 is used to replace the spring carbon brush 203 in the corresponding position.
[0062] It should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present application and are not limited. Although the present application has been described in detail with reference to the preferred embodiments, it should be understood by those skilled in the art that the technical solutions of the present application can be modified or replaced equivalently without departing from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of the present application.
