[0014] Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram of the reverse side structure of the compact carbon brush holder of this utility model.

[0015] Figure 3 This is a partial structural diagram of the compact carbon brush holder of this utility model after it is installed on the window lift motor. Detailed Implementation

[0016] To make the technical problem solved by this utility model clearer, the present utility model is further described below with reference to embodiments and accompanying drawings. The specific embodiments described herein are only for explaining the present utility model and are not intended to limit the present utility model.

[0017] like Figures 1 to 2 The image shows an embodiment of the compact carbon brush holder 1 of this utility model. The compact carbon brush holder 1 includes a mounting platform 2 and a housing body 3, as shown... Figure 2 As shown, the central area of ​​the mounting platform 2 is provided with a shaft hole 10 for mounting a motor shaft, and the upper surface of the mounting platform 2 is provided with a cylindrical body 9 extending upward around the shaft hole 10.

[0018] like Figure 2As shown, the receiving body 3 has an outer shell 12 and an inner cavity formed by the outer shell 12. The outer shell 12 extends downward from the lower surface of the mounting platform 2 by a predetermined length. The inner cavity is provided with a carbon brush mounting seat for mounting the carbon brush 6 and several electronic component fixing seats. The carbon brush mounting seat can constrain the movement of the carbon brush. The edges of the outer shell 12 and the mounting platform 2 are stepped, so that when the compact carbon brush holder 1 is mounted on the motor housing, the outer shell 12 is located inside the motor housing while the mounting platform 2 is located outside the motor housing.

[0019] Based on this utility model, the carbon brush holder can achieve carbon brush sinking, freeing up the space in the upper part of the carbon brush holder, saving axial space, and enabling the expansion of more functions. At the same time, it requires minimal modification to the carbon brush holder structure, which is conducive to product platformization. The main body 3 of the carbon brush holder is inserted into the motor housing 13, increasing the length of the mating with the motor housing and improving product stability. Meanwhile, since both the carbon brush and the commutator are located inside the motor metal housing, the electromagnetic radiation generated by the friction of the carbon brush and the commutator during operation will be reflected by the motor metal housing, achieving the purpose of radiation shielding and optimizing the product's EMC.

[0020] like Figure 2 As shown, the carbon brush mounting base is used to install the carbon brush 6, and the carbon brush holders are symmetrically distributed around the shaft hole 10.

[0021] like Figure 1 As shown, a varistor 7 is provided on the upper surface of the mounting platform 2.

[0022] Several electronic components include one or more of the following: resistor, inductor, capacitor, PTC, PCB, and pins, such as Figure 2 As shown, not all of the components described are listed in the embodiments of this utility model; the required electronic components can be selected as needed. All electronic components are loose, with no excess metal sheets, and are connected only by welding hooks to the power supply metal sheet 11.

[0023] like Figure 3The image shows a specific embodiment of the window lift motor of this utility model. The window lift motor includes a motor housing 13 and the aforementioned compact brush holder 1. A motor assembly is housed within the motor housing. The motor assembly includes a motor shaft 14 and a commutator 15 mounted on the motor shaft. The mounting platform 2 is located outside the motor housing. The motor shaft passes through the shaft hole 10 of the compact brush holder 1 via a bearing 8. The outer shell 12 of the brush holder 1 is located inside the motor housing 13, such that the carbon brushes within the inner cavity of the housing 3 contact the commutator 15 inside the motor housing. The motor housing is a metal motor housing. Therefore, the compact brush motor of this utility model can be used with the motor housing and commutator to integrate various electronic components.

[0024] The compact carbon brush holder and corresponding window lift motor of this utility model, based on the specific design of the carbon brush holder mounting platform and housing body, allow the carbon brushes and the commutator that matches the carbon brushes to sink, thereby saving axial space; at the same time, the increased mating length between the carbon brush holder and the motor housing is beneficial to improving product stability; in addition, the carbon brushes and commutator mating within the metal cavity of the motor housing is beneficial to improving the product's EMC performance.
