Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing rotating electric machines face insulation property deterioration due to abrasion powder accumulation between the brush and the housing, which is not adequately addressed by prior art.
Innovation Solution
A rotating electric machine design featuring a brush holder accommodating portion with a larger distance between the brush holder's lower surface and the inner peripheral wall, creating an abrasion powder accumulation space to maintain insulation distance, and a sealed structure to contain the abrasion powder.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of manufacture
If windings are inserted into slot openings of a laminated core, then the rotating electric machine can be constructed, but burrs on the inner circumferential surface of the slot opening cause insertion difficulty and may damage the insulating film
Solution Approach 1:
The invention extracts and removes the harmful burrs from the slot opening inner circumferential surface before winding insertion. The burr removal device specifically targets and eliminates the burrs that cause insertion difficulty and potential insulating film damage, separating the harmful element from the system.
Solution Approach 2:
The invention performs burr removal as a preliminary action before the winding insertion process. By removing burrs in advance using the burr removal device, the system prevents potential damage to the insulating film and facilitates smoother winding insertion, addressing the problem before it can manifest during assembly.
2Power
If a large number of laminated sheets are stacked to increase power output, then power output increases, but misalignment of tooth roots and slot openings occurs reducing assembly precision
Solution Approach 1:
The invention segments the stacking process by introducing guide pins that divide the laminated sheets into manageable sections. The guide pins are inserted into corresponding holes in adjacent laminated sheets, creating localized alignment references that prevent cumulative misalignment across large stacks, thereby maintaining precision even as power output increases through higher sheet counts.
Solution Approach 2:
The guide pins act as intermediary elements between the laminated sheets during stacking. These pins physically bridge adjacent sheets and enforce proper alignment through their fixed positions, serving as mediators that transfer and maintain alignment information across the entire stack without requiring direct contact between all sheet surfaces.
3Device complexity
If conventional winding insertion methods are used without burr removal, then the process is simple, but windings cannot be inserted smoothly and insulating films may be damaged
Solution Approach 1:
The burr removal device is designed to be integrated into the existing stacking and winding insertion system. The guide pins automatically perform burr removal during the normal stacking process without requiring separate manual intervention, allowing the system to self-service the burr removal function while maintaining overall process simplicity.

AI summary
This invention relates to a rotating electric machine with a brush holder that holds brushes. A first cover through which a rotor shaft passes is provided on one end side in an axial direction. A brush holder accommodating portion that accommodates the brush holder is recessed in the first cover in the axial direction from an outer side of the first cover. The brush holder is disposed in the brush holder accommodating portion such that a distance between a lower surface of the brush holder and an inner peripheral wall of the brush holder accommodating portion is larger than a distance between another portion of the brush holder and another inner peripheral wall of the brush holder accommodating portion.
