Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of motor carbon brush technology, specifically to a motor carbon brush mounting structure. Background Technology
[0002] Motor carbon brushes are sliding contact components used for conducting electricity in motors. They are usually made of graphite or other carbon materials and are installed on the commutator or slip ring of the motor to realize the current transmission between the internal rotating parts of the motor and the external circuit, while reducing arcing and wear, and ensuring the efficient and stable operation of the motor.
[0003] The motor carbon brush mounting structure refers to the mechanical device that fixes the carbon brushes on the motor rotor or stator. It usually includes components such as carbon brush holder, carbon brush spring, carbon brush and insulating sleeve, which are used to ensure that the carbon brushes maintain stable electrical contact with the motor commutator or slip ring, while allowing the carbon brushes to move freely along the slip ring surface after wear, so as to maintain the normal operation of the motor.
[0004] When using brushed motors in equipment subjected to high-frequency vibration, the brushes may exert pressure on the springs due to the vibration. This pressure alters the friction between the brushes and the commutator, affecting the contact quality. Since motors typically have multiple brushes, vibration can cause uneven wear on each brush. Over long-term operation, this uneven wear may reduce the contact effect between the brushes and the commutator, thus affecting the motor's performance and reliability. Therefore, a motor brush mounting structure is proposed to address these issues. Utility Model Content

[0031] Please see Figure 1-8 This utility model provides a technical solution:
[0032] A motor carbon brush mounting structure includes a mounting bracket 1, a brush holder assembly 2, and a carbon brush assembly 3. The top of the mounting bracket 1 is fixedly connected to the brush holder assembly 2 by bolts. The carbon brush assembly 3 is fixedly connected to the inside of the brush holder assembly 2 by bolts. An elastic cylinder assembly 4 is fixedly connected to one side of the carbon brush assembly 3. An anti-detachment component 5 is installed inside the elastic cylinder assembly 4. The carbon brush assembly 3 includes an electrical contact block 31. An external wire 32 is fixedly connected to one side of the electrical contact block 31. A positioning hole 33 is provided inside the external wire 32. An electrical wire 34 is fixedly connected to the side of the electrical contact block 31 near the elastic cylinder assembly 4. The inside of the electrical wire 34 is electrically connected to the carbon brush body 35. The elastic cylinder assembly 4 includes a spring shell 41. A movable groove 4 is provided inside the spring shell 41. 2. A first spring 43 is fixedly connected to one side of the movable column groove 42 of the spring shell 41. A first sliding opening 44 and a second sliding opening 45 are provided at the end of the spring shell 41 away from the first spring 43. The anti-detachment component 5 includes an external column 51. An internal column block 52 is fixedly connected to one side of the external column 51. A first rubber ring 53 is fixedly connected to the inside of the internal column block 52. An anti-rotation rod 54 is slidably connected to the inside of the internal column block 52. An inner hollow plate 55 is fixedly connected to one side of the anti-rotation rod 54. A second spring 56 is fixedly connected to one side of the inner hollow plate 55. A rubber cone 57 is fixedly connected to one side of the second spring 56. A second rubber ring 58 is fixedly connected to the inside of the internal column block 52. An external through hole 59 is provided on the inner side of the external column 51 near the rubber cone 57.
[0033] As a further implementation of this solution, the brush grip assembly 2 includes a frame shell 21. A block groove 22 is formed at the upper end of the frame shell 21, and a positioning groove 23 is formed at one end of the frame shell 21. An internally threaded block 24 is fixedly connected to the inner side of the block groove 22 by bolts. A locking post 25 is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the internally threaded block 24. Ear seats are fixed on both sides of the frame shell 21, and the ear seats of the frame shell 21 are fixed to the mounting bracket 1 by bolts. The inner side of the frame shell 21 is hollow. The positioning groove 23 penetrates one end of the frame shell 21, and the lower end of the block groove 22 communicates with the positioning groove 23. The locking post 25 is inserted into the lower end of the block groove 22. The internal thread block 24 is rectangular in shape. The outer side of the internal thread block 24 fits against the inner side of the upper end of the block groove 22. The electrical contact block 31 is embedded in the inner side of the positioning groove 23. The locking pin 25 is inserted into the positioning locking hole 33 opened in the electrical contact block 31. The number of positioning locking holes 33 is the same as the number of locking pins 25. The outer side of the carbon brush body 35 is fitted with the inner side of the frame shell 21 with a clearance. This improves the reasonable installation process of the device and makes it easy to fix the carbon brush assembly 3 stably inside the brush holder assembly 2, greatly reducing the installation deviation of the carbon brush assembly 3. This installation method allows the carbon brush assembly 3 to be disassembled and maintained later.
[0034] As a further implementation of this solution, one side of the spring shell 41 is fixedly connected to one side of the electrical contact block 31. The spring shell 41 is a hollow cylinder. The movable groove 42 passes through one end of the spring shell 41. The movable groove 42 is a cylinder with two ends. The second sliding opening 45 is distributed at the upper and lower ends of the first sliding opening 44. Both the first sliding opening 44 and the second sliding opening 45 pass through one end of the spring shell 41, which facilitates the anti-detachment component 5 to slide inside the elastic cylinder component 4, and at the same time prevents the anti-detachment component 5 from deflecting inside the spring shell 41.
[0035] As a further implementation of this solution, the inner side of the movable column groove 42 opened in the spring housing 41 is fitted with the outer side of the built-in column block 52. The inner side of the inner hollow plate 55 is hollow. The first spring 43 is embedded in the inner side of the inner hollow plate 55. One end of the first spring 43 is fixedly connected to one side of the built-in column block 52. The outer side of the external column 51 slides inside the first sliding opening 44 opened in the spring housing 41. The diameter of the external column 51 is 0.9 times the diameter of the first sliding opening 44. The inner side of the second sliding opening 45 opened in the spring housing 41 is slidably connected to the anti-rotation rod 54, which facilitates the first spring 43 to pass through the interior of the inner hollow plate 55 and be fixed with the built-in column block 52. Under the action of the elastic force of the first spring 43, the anti-detachment assembly 5 is kept moving towards the carbon brush body 35, so that the carbon brush body 35 remains in contact with the outer side of the commutator after wear.
[0036] As a further implementation of this solution, the external post 51 is cylindrical in shape, and the inner side of the internal post block 52 near the anti-rotation rod 54 has a cylindrical through hole. The second rubber ring 58 is fixed inside the cylindrical through hole of the internal post block 52, and the inner side of the second rubber ring 58 is in contact with the outer side of the anti-rotation rod 54. The end of the second spring 56 away from the inner hollow plate 55 is fixedly connected to the internal post block 52. The rubber cone 57 is conical in shape, and the outer side of the rubber cone 57 is in contact with the inner side of the external through hole 59 of the external post 51. This can prevent the carbon brush body 35 from moving when it is vibrated, prevent multiple carbon brush bodies 35 from colliding with the commutator due to vibration, thereby avoiding the problem of inconsistent wear of multiple carbon brush bodies 35, maintaining good contact between the carbon brush and the commutator, reducing arcing and wear, and ensuring the efficient and stable operation of the motor.
[0037] Workflow: When installing the device, one end of the spring shell 41 is fixed to the electrical contact block 31 with bolts, and the external connection post 51 is fixed to one side of the carbon brush body 35 with bolts. At this time, the elastic cylinder assembly 4 and the anti-detachment assembly 5 are between the carbon brush body 35 and the electrical contact block 31. The external wire 32 is passed through the inside of the positioning groove 23, and then the electrical contact block 31 is embedded in the inside of the positioning groove 23, so that the positioning card hole 33 is aligned with the lower end of the block groove 22. The card post 25 is aligned with the positioning card hole 33 and inserted into the inside of the positioning card hole 33 from the block groove 22. The internal thread block 24 is fixed to the frame shell 21 with bolts. The limiting of the card post 25 can ensure the accuracy of the installation between the carbon brush assembly 3 and the brush holder assembly 2. The external wire 32 is passed through the through hole of the mounting bracket 1, and the frame shell 21 is fixed to the mounting bracket 1 with bolts. The external wire 32 is electrically connected to the motor controller. At this time, the multiple carbon brush bodies 35 are in contact with the outside of the commutator.
[0038] To prevent collisions between the carbon brush body 35 and the commutator due to vibration and to improve the uniformity of wear on multiple carbon brush bodies 35, the carbon brush bodies 35 will wear during use. When the carbon brush body 35 wears down, the first spring 43 pushes the inner post 52 and the outer post 51 towards the carbon brush body 35. The outer post 51 slides inside the first sliding opening 44, and the inner post 52 slides inside the movable groove 42 opened in the spring housing 41. The first rubber ring 53 acts to support the inner post 52. The inner column 52 and the spring housing 41 are sealed together. The second rubber ring 58 seals the inner column 52 and the anti-rotation rod 54. The movement of the outer column 51 moves the carbon brush body 35, keeping it in contact with the outside of the commutator. When the inner column 52 moves, due to the sealing effect, the gas inside the movable column groove 42 is under-pressurized. At this time, the external gas enters the outer through hole 59 through the gap between the first sliding port 44 and the outer column 51. Under the action of air pressure... With the rubber cone 57 away from the outer through hole 59, air enters the movable groove 42 near the first spring 43 from the outer through hole 59. After the outer column 51 moves, the inner hollow plate 55 is pulled towards the inner column block 52 by the elastic force of the second spring 56. The inner hollow plate 55 drives the rubber cone 57 to seal the outer through hole 59 again. At this time, the movable groove 42 near the first spring 43 is in a closed state. When vibration occurs, the inner column block 52 will not move towards the first spring 43 because the shape of the rubber cone 57 does not allow the gas near the movable groove 42 to flow out from the outer through hole 59. This achieves the effect of limiting the inner column block 52, thereby preventing the carbon brush body 35 from moving when it is vibrated. At this time, the first spring 43 will not be elastically compressed due to vibration, which can prevent multiple carbon brush bodies 35 from colliding with the commutator due to vibration, thus avoiding the problem of inconsistent wear of multiple carbon brush bodies 35.
[0039] During device maintenance, when disassembling the device, remove the bolts between the internal threaded block 24 and the frame 21, then remove the bolts between the frame 21 and the mounting bracket 1, and disconnect the external wiring 32 from the motor controller. At this point, the carbon brush assembly 3 can be removed, the inner hollow plate 55 and the anti-rotation rod 54 can be fixed, and the external connecting post 51 can be moved away from the elastic cylinder assembly 4. At this point, the rubber cone 57 is away from the inside of the external through hole 59, and the external air is connected to the movable column groove 42 through the external through hole 59. At this point, the distance between the elastic cylinder assembly 4 and the anti-detachment assembly 5 can be adjusted at will.
[0040] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
