Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of carbon brush technology, specifically to a carbon brush assembly that facilitates carbon brush replacement. Background Technology
[0002] Carbon brushes, also known as electric brushes, are widely used in many electrical devices as sliding contact components. The main materials used in carbon brush applications include graphite, resin-impregnated graphite, and metallic (including copper and silver) graphite. Carbon brushes are devices that transmit energy or signals between the stationary and rotating parts of electric motors, generators, or other rotating machinery. They are generally made of pure carbon with a solidifying agent, and are typically square in shape, held in place by a metal bracket. A spring inside presses them firmly against the rotating shaft. When the motor rotates, it transmits electrical energy to the coils through a commutator.
[0003] Traditional carbon brush assemblies require bolts or clips to secure the cover plate, and replacement requires the use of special tools for gradual disassembly, which is cumbersome. Some designs also require simultaneous adjustment of spring pressure, further increasing the difficulty of maintenance. Therefore, a carbon brush assembly that facilitates carbon brush replacement is proposed. Utility Model Content

Example
[0028] Please see Figure 1-5 This utility model provides a technical solution: a carbon brush assembly that facilitates carbon brush replacement, including a rotating shaft 1, an end cap 7 sleeved on the outside of the rotating shaft 1, a carbon brush holder 4 fixed on one side of the end cap 7, a cover plate 6 on one side of the carbon brush holder 4, and a carbon brush body 2 on the inside of the carbon brush holder 4; the number of carbon brush bodies 2 is two, and the two carbon brush bodies 2 are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the rotating shaft 1.
[0029] The carbon brush holder 4 has a connecting component 5 on one side for removing and installing the cover plate 6 to replace the carbon brush body 2; the carbon brush body 2 has a component 3 on one side for indicating the wear status of the carbon brush body 2; regular visual inspection can detect the critical wear status of the carbon brush body 2 in advance and avoid sudden shutdown accidents.
[0030] The connecting component 5 includes two support frames 51. The support frames 51 have a limit groove 52 and a slide groove 55 respectively. A slide plate 54 is slidably connected to the inside of the slide groove 55. A locking rod 53 is fixed on one side of the slide plate 54. The two slide plates 54 operate synchronously to avoid stress concentration on one side and extend the service life of the slide groove 55 and the locking rod 53.
[0031] Both sides of the bottom of the cover plate 6 are fixed with connecting brackets 57. A locking groove 59 is opened on one side of the bottom of the connecting bracket 57. A sliding rod 56 is fixed on the inner wall of the sliding groove 55. The outer side of the sliding rod 56 is movably inserted into one side of the sliding plate 54. The sliding plate 54 slides on the inner side of the sliding groove 55. At the same time, the sliding plate 54 compresses the spring 58 and drives the locking rod 53 to move to one side, thereby causing the locking rod 53 to leave the inner side of the locking groove 59. The outer side of the sliding rod 56 is fitted with the spring 58. The two sides of the spring 58 are respectively connected to one side of the sliding plate 54 and the sliding groove 55.
[0032] The locking rod 53 is cylindrical. When the locking rod 53 is inserted into the inner side of the locking groove 59, the carbon brush body 2 is in the installation state. When the locking rod 53 leaves the inner side of the locking groove 59, the carbon brush body 2 is in the replacement state. The engagement of the locking rod 53 and the locking groove 59 ensures that the carbon brush holder 4 cannot be opened without active operation, preventing accidental detachment during operation. One side of the support frame 51 is fixed to one side of the carbon brush holder 4. The outer side of the rotating shaft 1 is provided with a housing 9. One side of the carbon brush body 2 is connected to a wire 8 located on the outer side of the carbon brush holder 4.
[0033] The prompt component 3 includes a slide column 31, with a first limiting plate 32 and a second limiting plate 34 fixed at both ends of the slide column 31. The first limiting plate 32 is fixed to one end of the slide column 31 by screws. A tension spring 33 is sleeved on the outside of the slide column 31. The two sides of the tension spring 33 are respectively connected to one side of the first limiting plate 32 and one side of the carbon brush holder 4. One side of the slide column 31 is inserted into one side of the carbon brush holder 4. When the carbon brush body 2 wears, the tension of the tension spring 33 pushes the second limiting plate 34 to move towards the commutator side, which automatically compensates for the wear of the carbon brush body 2 to a certain extent, so that the carbon brush body 2 can always maintain good contact with the commutator.
[0034] Working principle: When the carbon brush body 2 needs to be replaced after it wears out from contact with the commutator, simply pull the slide plate 54 to both sides to make the slide plate 54 slide inside the slide groove 55. At the same time, the slide plate 54 compresses the spring 58 and drives the locking rod 53 to move to one side. The locking rod 53 leaves the inside of the locking groove 59. Then pull the cover plate 6 upward. At this time, the carbon brush body 2 can be taken out from the top of the carbon brush holder 4.
[0035] Take a new carbon brush body 2, connect the wire 8 to the external circuit, and place the wire 8 in the wiring groove between the cover plate 6 and the carbon brush holder 4. Insert the carbon brush body 2 into the carbon brush holder 4, and make one side of the second limiting plate 34 fit against one side of the carbon brush body 2. Then, align the connecting brackets 57 on both sides of the cover plate 6 with the inside of the limiting groove 52 and insert them. Pull the sliding plate 54 to one side. When the bottom of the cover plate 6 contacts the top of the carbon brush holder 4, release the pulling force of the sliding plate 54. Then, insert the locking rod 53 into the inside of the locking groove 59. At this time, the replacement of the carbon brush body 2 is completed.
[0036] When the carbon brush body 2 is in use, it wears down continuously. At this time, the tension of the tension spring 33 pushes the second limiting plate 34 to move towards the commutator side. When the carbon brush body 2 needs to be replaced, the wear condition of the carbon brush body 2 can be determined by visually measuring the distance between the first limiting plate 32 and the housing 9, which makes it convenient to replace the carbon brush body 2 in a timely manner.
[0037] In summary, by pulling the slide plate 54 to both sides, the locking rod 53 can be disengaged from the locking groove 59, allowing the cover plate 6 to be easily pulled upwards to remove the carbon brush body 2. When installing a new carbon brush body 2, simply align the connecting bracket 57 with the limiting groove 52 and insert it, then pull the slide plate 54 and release to complete the locking. The entire replacement process requires no complicated tools or cumbersome steps, greatly improving replacement efficiency and reducing maintenance time.
[0038] The wear condition of the carbon brush body 2 can be judged by visually measuring the distance between the first limiting plate 32 and the housing 9. This method does not require additional complex measuring tools or professional testing equipment. It is simple and intuitive, and any operator can easily master it. It can quickly obtain the wear information of the carbon brush body 2, allowing staff to understand the wear condition of the carbon brush body 2 in a timely manner. When the carbon brush body 2 is worn to the point that it needs to be replaced, it can be replaced in a timely manner, avoiding equipment failure due to excessive wear of the carbon brush body 2 and ensuring the normal operation of the equipment.
