Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of carbon brush technology, and in particular to a graphite long carbon brush cooling fan with carbon powder cleaning function. Background Technology

[0002] Carbon brushes, also known as electric brushes, are made primarily of graphite, resin-impregnated graphite, and metallic graphite. They are devices that transmit energy or signals between the stationary and rotating parts of an electric motor, generator, or other rotating machinery. Generally made of pure carbon with a coagulant, they are mounted on a metal bracket and have springs inside that press them firmly against the commutator. When the motor rotates, it transmits electrical energy to the coils through the commutator. Because their main component is carbon, they are called carbon brushes. They are prone to wear and should be regularly maintained, replaced, and cleaned.

[0003] The commutator of the motor inside the cooling fan is usually equipped with two or more sets of carbon brushes. During the continuous rotation of the commutator, the carbon brushes maintain frictional contact with the commutator surface. After long-term operation, the carbon brushes wear down and the carbon powder produced will accumulate at the commutator. Due to the closed structure of the commutator, it is difficult to completely remove the carbon powder. As carbon powder continues to accumulate around the commutator, it will not only increase the commutator's operating resistance, but may also cause problems such as poor contact and accelerated component wear, thereby affecting the operating efficiency of the cooling fan. Therefore, a graphite long carbon brush cooling fan with carbon powder cleaning function is proposed. Utility Model Content

[0034] Example 1

[0035] Reference Figures 1-4 The first embodiment of this utility model provides a graphite long carbon brush cooling fan with carbon powder cleaning function, which can clean the carbon powder accumulated in the bushing to ensure the rotation efficiency of the cooling fan. It includes: an overall unit 100, a carbon brush placement unit 200, a cleaning unit 300 and a support unit 400.

[0036] The overall unit 100 includes a protective cover 101 and a motor frame 102 fixed inside it. A servo motor 103 is fixed on one side of the motor frame 102, and a bushing 104 is fixed on one side of the servo motor 103. The output end of the servo motor 103 passes through the bushing 104 and is fixed with a disc 105. A fan blade 106 is fixed on one side of the disc 105 by bolts.

[0037] A carbon brush mounting unit 200 is provided on the bushing 104, and the carbon brush mounting unit 200 is used to mount carbon brushes;

[0038] A cleaning unit 300 is provided on the bushing 104. The cleaning unit 300 includes a collection part 301 and a scraping part 302. The scraping part 302 is used to scrape off the carbon powder inside the bushing 104, and the collection part 301 is used to collect and discharge the scraped carbon powder.

[0039] A support unit 400 is installed inside the protective cover 101. The support unit 400 is used to support the output shaft of the servo motor 103.

[0040] The motor frame 102 is used to support the servo motor 103. The protective cover 101 has protrusions with through holes on both sides. The protrusions can be used to fix the protective cover 101 to the equipment that needs heat dissipation and cooling or other designated positions through bolts and other connecting parts. The fan blades 106 can be installed and removed on the disc 105 through bolts. The servo motor 103 can drive the fan blades 106 to rotate through the disc 105. The commutator of the servo motor 103 is located on its own rotating shaft and is located in the bushing 104. The carbon brush mounting unit 200 is used to install carbon brushes and make the carbon brushes contact the commutator on the output shaft of the servo motor 103. When cleaning the carbon powder accumulated in the bushing 104, the carbon brushes are removed from the carbon brush mounting unit 200.

[0041] Subsequently, the scraping part 302 scrapes off the carbon powder attached to the inner wall of the bushing 104 and the commutator of the servo motor 103. The fallen carbon powder is collected and discharged by the collecting part 301, thereby cleaning the inside of the bushing 104 and ensuring the rotation efficiency of the fan blade 106. The support unit 400 can reduce the load on the output shaft of the servo motor 103 and reduce the vibration generated by the rotation of the output shaft of the servo motor 103, so as to ensure the stability of the rotation of the fan blade 106.

[0042] Example 2

[0043] Reference Figures 1-3 This is the second embodiment of the present invention. Unlike the previous embodiment, bearings 107 are fixedly connected to both ends of the bushing 104, and the output shaft of the servo motor 103 is interference-fitted with the inner rings of the two bearings 107.

[0044] When the output shaft of the servo motor 103 rotates, the bearing 107 can prevent friction between the output shaft and the bushing 104, thereby reducing mechanical losses during the rotation of the output shaft.

[0045] Example 3

[0046] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 3 This is the third embodiment of the present invention. Unlike the previous embodiment, the carbon brush mounting unit 200 includes two straight cylinders 201 that are fixedly connected to the outer wall of the bushing 104. The inner cavities of the two straight cylinders 201 are both rectangular. Spring carbon brushes 202 are slidably installed in the two straight cylinders 201. One end of the two straight cylinders 201 is threaded and threaded with a sealing cap 203.

[0047] The sealing cover 203 can be rotated off, and then the spring carbon brush 202 is slid into the straight cylinder 201. The spring carbon brush 202 is a general standard part or a component known to those skilled in the art. The rectangular inner cavity of the straight cylinder 201 fits with the carbon block of the spring carbon brush 202. When the carbon block contacts the commutator of the servo motor 103, the sealing cover 203 is rotated and installed to the end of the straight cylinder 201. When cleaning the carbon powder in the bushing 104, the sealing cover 203 is removed. Then the spring of the spring carbon brush 202 pushes the metal piece connected to its end out of the straight cylinder 201 so that the spring carbon brush 202 can be taken out of the straight cylinder 201 and replaced.

[0048] It should be noted that both ends of the straight cylinders 201 are provided with notches 204, and the size of the notches 204 does not exceed the thread of the straight cylinder 201, so as to ensure that the sealing cap 203 can be rotated and fixed on the straight cylinder 201.

[0049] When the spring or metal piece of the spring carbon brush 202 is stuck in the inner cavity of the straight cylinder 201, a screwdriver or other thin rod-shaped object is used to insert into the straight cylinder 201 through the notch and pick the spring carbon brush 202 out of the straight cylinder 201 so as to quickly remove the spring carbon brush 202.

[0050] Example 4

[0051] Reference Figure 3 and Figure 4 This is the fourth embodiment of the present utility model. Unlike the previous embodiment, the collecting part 301 includes a collecting box 301a that is fixedly connected to the bottom of the bushing 104. The bottom of the collecting box 301a is fixedly connected to a discharge pipe 301b. The bottom end of the discharge pipe 301b is threaded and threadedly fitted with a sealing cap 301c.

[0052] After the fan blades 106 are removed and both spring carbon brushes 202 are taken out, the scraping part 302 is used to scrape off the carbon powder inside the bushing 104. The scraped carbon powder falls from the bushing 104 into the collection box 301a. Then, the sealing cover 301c at the bottom of the discharge pipe 301b is rotated off. Next, the collection box 301a is gently tapped to discharge the carbon powder inside the collection box 301a from the discharge pipe 301b. After the carbon powder is cleaned, the sealing cover 301c is rotated and installed at the bottom of the discharge pipe 301b.

[0053] It should be noted that the bottom of the collection box 301a is designed in an inverted trapezoidal shape, and the discharge pipe 301b is located at the lowest point of the bottom of the collection box 301a, so as to facilitate the discharge of materials by the discharge pipe 301b.

[0054] The bottom of the collection box 301a is an inverted trapezoid with both sides sloping towards the middle, so that the toner in the collection box 301a can automatically flow towards the discharge pipe 301b, so as to avoid dead corners in the collection box 301a and toner residue, and facilitate the rapid discharge of toner from the discharge pipe 301b.

[0055] The scraping part 302 includes a rotating rod 302a rotatably connected to one side of the collection box 301a. One end of the rotating rod 302a passes through the collection box 301a and is fixedly connected to a threaded rod 302b. The bushing 104 and the collection box 301a are slidably provided with a scraper 302c. One side of the scraper 302c has a circular opening that matches the commutator of the servo motor 103. One end of the threaded rod 302b passes through the scraper 302c and is threadedly connected to the scraper 302c.

[0056] Two limiting plates are provided on the rotating rod 302a, located on the inner and outer sides of the collection box 301a respectively. The rotating rod 302a is used to drive the threaded rod 302b to rotate. The scraper 302c contacts the inner wall of the bushing 104. The inner diameter of the circular opening of the scraper 302c is slightly larger than the diameter of the commutator of the servo motor 103, and the error is within three millimeters. By rotating the threaded rod 302b, the scraper 302c can move within the bushing 104 and the collection box 301a to scrape the carbon powder on the inner wall of the bushing 104 and the carbon powder attached to the commutator into the collection box 301a. After scraping is completed, the threaded rod 302b is rotated to move the scraper 302c to the end of the bushing 104 close to the servo motor 103 to prevent the scraper 302c from blocking the end of the straight cylinder 201.

[0057] Example 5

[0058] Reference Figure 2 This is the fifth embodiment of the present utility model. Unlike the previous embodiment, the support unit 400 includes a support plate 401 fixedly connected inside the protective cover 101. A bearing 402 is embedded in the support plate 401, and the output shaft of the servo motor 103 is interference-fitted with the inner ring of the bearing 402.

[0059] The support plate 401 is fixedly connected to the outer ring of the bearing 402, and there is a gap between the rotating rod 302a and the support plate 401 for the rotating rod 302a to rotate. The bearing 402 and the support plate 401 can support the output shaft of the servo motor 103 to ensure that the output shaft maintains a precise axial and radial position during high-speed rotation, avoids offset, vibration and other situations, and ensures the stability of the fan blade operation.

[0060] During use, first rotate and remove both sealing covers 203. Then slide the two spring carbon brushes 202 into the two straight cylinders 201 respectively. When the carbon block contacts the commutator of the servo motor 103, install the two sealing covers 203 onto the ends of the two straight cylinders 201. Then fix the fan blades 106 to the disc 105 with bolts. When it is necessary to clean the carbon powder in the bushing 104, remove the fan blades 106 from the disc 105. Then remove the two sealing covers 203 and take the two spring carbon brushes 202 out of the two straight cylinders 201. When the spring carbon brushes 202 are stuck in the inner cavity of the straight cylinder 201, use a screwdriver or other thin rod-shaped object to pick the spring carbon brushes 202 out of the straight cylinder 201 through the notch.

[0061] After removal, rotate and remove the sealing cap 301c. Then, drive the threaded rod 302b to rotate via the rotating rod 302a, causing the scraper 302c to move back and forth within the bushing 104. The scraper 302c scrapes the carbon powder on the inner wall of the bushing 104 and adhering to the commutator of the servo motor 103 into the collection box 301a. Then, gently tap the collection box 301a to discharge the carbon powder from the discharge pipe 301b. After the toner is cleaned, the sealing cap 301c is installed at the bottom of the discharge pipe 301b. Then, the threaded rod 302b is rotated to move the scraper 302c to the end of the bushing 104 near the servo motor 103. Then, the two spring carbon brushes 202 are slidably inserted into the two straight cylinders 201 respectively, and the two sealing caps 203 are reinstalled at the ends of the two straight cylinders 201. Finally, the fan blades 106 are fixed to the disc 105 with bolts.

[0062] It should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solution of this utility model and are not intended to limit it. Although this utility model has been described in detail with reference to preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications or equivalent substitutions can be made to the technical solution of this utility model without departing from the spirit and scope of the technical solution of this utility model, and all such modifications or substitutions should be covered within the scope of the claims of this utility model.
