Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of carbon brush manufacturing equipment, specifically to a carbon brush direction recognition and correction device. Background Technology

[0002] Carbon brushes are key components used to conduct current in rotating electrical equipment such as motors and generators. Their core function is to establish reliable electrical contact between rotating parts (such as rotors) and stationary parts (such as stators) to ensure stable current transmission.

[0003] Carbon brushes require cutting, grinding, chamfering, and plating processes during manufacturing. On the production line, to improve production efficiency, the carbon brushes need to be aligned in the same direction (generally with the end with the protrusion facing down). In the current processing, this is usually done by workers who place or inspect the brushes. This method not only affects production efficiency but also requires hiring additional workers, resulting in higher costs. Utility Model Content

[0004] This utility model aims to solve the technical problems mentioned in the background section above, and proposes the following technical solutions:

[0005] A carbon brush direction recognition and correction device includes a feeding guide rail, a sensor, a carbon brush moving device, a direction conversion structure, and a discharging guide rail. A baffle is provided at the end of the feeding guide rail. The carbon brush moving device is located between the baffle and the feeding guide rail. The carbon brush moving device includes a slider and a slider movement cylinder. A carbon brush storage slot is provided on the slider and is flush with the feeding guide rail. The sensor is located directly above the slider.

[0006] The baffle is provided with a carbon brush groove. The direction conversion structure is located on one side of the carbon brush groove. The direction conversion structure includes a rotating disk, a rotating cylinder, a limiting block, and a limiting cylinder. The rotating disk is provided with a slide rail. One side of the rotating disk abuts against the baffle and the slide rail is connected to the carbon brush groove. The bottom of the rotating disk is connected to the rotating cylinder. The limiting block is connected to the limiting cylinder and is located directly above the rotating disk. The discharge guide rail abuts against the other side of the rotating disk and is connected to the carbon brush groove.

[0007] Preferably, the openings at both ends of the carbon brush groove have rounded corners.

[0008] Preferably, the rotating disk has round holes at each of its four corners.

[0009] Preferably, a sliding baffle is provided on one side of the slider. The sliding baffle is made of smooth glass. One end of the sliding baffle is fixed to the baffle. A sliding groove is provided on one end of the slider. The sliding baffle is slidably connected to the sliding groove.

[0010] Preferably, the sliding baffle has a beveled structure at the end near the slider.

[0011] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0012] 1. By setting up a sensor and a direction conversion structure, the sensor identifies the feeding direction of the carbon brush, and the rotation of the rotating disk adjusts the direction of the carbon brush, thereby achieving the correction of the carbon brush direction.

[0013] 2. By setting the openings at both ends of the carbon brush slide to a rounded corner structure, even if there is a slight positional error between the carbon brush slide and the slide rails and carbon brush storage slots at both ends, it will not affect the feeding of carbon brushes.

[0014] 3. By setting a sliding baffle, and making the sliding baffle a smooth glass material, the carbon brush can be prevented from sliding on the baffle and causing wear when it moves laterally. Attached Figure Description

[0022] Example 1

[0023] Reference Figures 1-2 A carbon brush direction recognition and correction device includes a feeding guide rail 1, a sensor 2, a carbon brush moving device 3, a direction conversion structure 4, and a discharging guide rail 5. A baffle 6 is provided at the end of the feeding guide rail 1. The carbon brush moving device 3 is located between the baffle 6 and the feeding guide rail 1. The carbon brush moving device 3 includes a slider 3-1 and a slider movement cylinder 3-2. A carbon brush storage groove 3-11 is provided on the slider 3-1. The carbon brush storage groove 3-11 is flush with the feeding guide rail 1. The sensor 2 is located directly above the slider 3-1.

[0024] A carbon brush groove 6-1 is provided on the baffle 6. The direction conversion structure 4 is located on one side of the carbon brush groove 6-1. The direction conversion structure 4 includes a rotating disk 4-1, a rotating cylinder 4-2, a limiting block 4-3, and a limiting cylinder 4-4. A slide rail 4-11 is provided on the rotating disk 4-1. One side of the rotating disk 4-1 abuts against the baffle 6 and the slide rail 4-11 is connected to the carbon brush groove 6-1. The bottom of the rotating disk 4-1 is connected to the rotating cylinder 4-2. The limiting block 4-3 is connected to the limiting cylinder 4-4 and is located directly above the rotating disk 4-1. The discharge guide rail 5 abuts against the other side of the rotating disk 4-1 and is connected to the carbon brush groove 6-1.

[0025] Preferably, the openings at both ends of the carbon brush groove 6-1 are rounded.

[0026] In actual operation, the device is tilted, raising one end of the feed guide rail 1 and lowering one end of the discharge guide rail 5. The carbon brush 8 is then placed into the feed guide rail 1 and slides onto the carbon brush storage slot 3-11 on the slider 3-1, with one end blocked by the baffle 6. At this time, the sensor 2 located directly above measures the distance below. Because one end of the carbon brush 8 has a protrusion, if the protruding end of the carbon brush 8 faces the baffle 6, the light detected by the sensor 2 will pass through the gap next to the protrusion and be positioned at the bottom of the carbon brush storage slot 3-11 below. The sensor 2 then transmits the measured data to the control module. According to the pre-set parameters of the control module, the control module will not control the operation at this time. When the rotary cylinder 4-2 and the limit cylinder 4-4 are working, the light detected by the sensor 2 will be positioned on the carbon brush. At this time, the control module will control the limit cylinder 4-4 to work according to the measured data. The limit cylinder 4-4 will push the limit block 4-3 down into the slide rail 4-11. At the same time, the slider movement cylinder 3-2 will pull the slider 3-1 to move until the carbon brush storage groove 3-11 is flush with the carbon brush slide groove 6-1. The carbon brush 8 will slide into the carbon brush slide groove 6-1, and then slide into the slide rail 4-11. Then the rotary cylinder 4-2 will drive the rotating disk 4-1 to rotate 180°. At this time, the carbon brush 8 will not be obstructed and will slide from the slide rail 4-11 into the discharge guide rail 5.

[0027] Example 2

[0028] Reference Figure 1 The difference between this embodiment and the first embodiment is that round holes 4-12 are provided at the four corners of the rotating disk 4-1. By providing round holes, the operator can insert his finger or adjustment device into the round hole and then rotate it to finely adjust the angle of the rotating disk 4 so as to align it with the carbon brush groove 6-1 and the discharge guide rail 5.

[0029] Example 2

[0030] Reference Figure 3 The difference between this embodiment and embodiment one is that a sliding baffle 7 is provided on one side of the slider 3-1. The sliding baffle 7 is made of smooth glass. One end of the sliding baffle 7 is fixed on the baffle 6. A groove 3-12 is provided on one end of the slider 3-1. The sliding baffle 7 is slidably connected to the groove 3-12. The end of the sliding baffle 7 near the slider 3-1 has a beveled structure. By providing a sliding baffle and making it of smooth glass, the problem of wear caused by the sliding of the carbon brush 8 on the baffle 5 when it moves laterally can be prevented.
