[0002] People's demands for automobiles have shifted from basic transportation to intelligent, comfortable, and lightweight features. More and more devices require electrification, which is fundamental. In this context, electric motors have developed rapidly in the automotive industry, leading to increasingly higher requirements for them: smaller size, higher torque, and lower noise. An electric motor is an electromagnetic device that converts or transmits electrical energy based on the law of electromagnetic induction. Its main function is to generate driving torque, serving as a power source for electrical appliances or various machines. An electric motor mainly consists of a magnetic core, coil windings, a housing, and a brush holder. The brush holder assembly is a crucial component of the motor, located at the rear. However, existing brush holders have insufficient connection strength with the housing, leading to loosening of screw connections due to resonance during use. Utility Model Content

The first connector, the second connector and the shaft hole are coaxially arranged. A carbon brush holder, a torsion spring post and a first conductive element are arranged in a group on the inner side of the first connector. The carbon brush holder has an installation opening for installing carbon brushes. The torsion spring post is used to install a torsion spring for connecting carbon brushes. The first conductive element is electrically connected to the carbon brush. A circuit board and a plurality of second conductive elements are provided on the inner side of the second connector. The second conductive elements are electrically connected to the circuit board. The first conductive element is also electrically connected to a corresponding second conductive element. The other end of each second conductive element passes through the front end face of the mounting base. A third connector is integrally formed on the front end face of the mounting base, and the other end of each second conductive element is arranged inside the third connector.

[0005] The advantages of the above technical solution are as follows: By setting a shaft hole, the rotating shaft is able to pass through the mounting base; by setting a first connector at the upper end of the mounting base, the motor cover shell, through the insertion and engagement with the first connector, reduces resonance to a certain extent, achieving a stable connection with the mounting base; by setting a carbon brush holder with an installation opening on the inner side of the first connector, quick installation of the carbon brush is achieved; by setting a torsion spring post on the inner side of the first connector, the torsion spring is installed, and the installed torsion spring ensures good contact between the carbon brush and the contact piece; by setting a first conductive element on the inner side of the first connector, the first conductive element replaces the traditional sheathed wire, is not affected by the heat inside the motor during operation, and has a long service life; by setting a second connector at the lower end of the mounting base, the motor base shell, through the insertion and engagement with the second connector, ... To a certain extent, the resonance of the motor housing is reduced, achieving a stable connection with the mounting base.

It is not affected by the heat inside the motor during operation and has a long service life. By setting the third connector 11 on the front end face of the mounting base 1, the third connector 11 reduces the exposed length of the other end of the second conductive element 10, avoiding deformation under stress during transportation or collision, and at the same time achieving the purpose of connecting with the external plug.
