Figur 1 zeigt ein erfindungsgemäss ausgebildetes Gehäuse 1 in Explosionsdarstellung. Das Gehäuse 1 kann ein Gehäuse einer elektrischen Maschine, wie z.B. ein elektrischer Motor oder ein elektrischer Generator, sein.FIG. 1 shows a housing 1 designed according to the invention in an exploded view. The housing 1 can be a housing of an electrical machine, e.g. an electric motor or an electric generator.
Das Gehäuse 1 hat bspw. eine hohlzylindrische Form und läuft bspw. an einem axialen Ende in einer radialen Richtung 31 bspw. kegelförmig nach innen zusammen.The housing 1 has, for example, a hollow cylindrical shape and, for example, converges inwards in a conical shape at an axial end in a radial direction 31.
Das Gehäuse 1 weist bspw. weiterhin Halterungen 40 auf, mit denen es in einem anderen Gehäuse aufgehängt ist.The housing 1 also has brackets 40, for example, with which it is suspended in another housing.
An das Gehäuse 1 ist .von aussen zumindest ein Funktionselement 3 für einen Elektromotor anbringbar. Von aussen bedeutet, dass die Funktionselemente 3 montiert werden können, wenn das Gehäuse 1 und ein in das Gehäuse 1 eingeführter Anker der elektrischen Maschine schon zusammengebaut sind.At least one functional element 3 for an electric motor can be attached to the housing 1 from the outside. From the outside means that the functional elements 3 can be installed when the housing 1 and an armature of the electrical machine inserted into the housing 1 have already been assembled.
Insbesondere sind die Funktionselemente 3 an eine äussere Mantelfläche 38 des Gehäuses 1 montierbar.In particular, the functional elements 3 can be mounted on an outer lateral surface 38 of the housing 1.
Das Gehäuse 1 weist bspw. zumindest eine Aufnahme 12, beispielsweise taschenförmig ausgebildet, für ein Funktionselement 3 auf, in der dieses gelagert und/oder geführt und/oder befestigt ist. An einem axialen Ende des Gehäuses 1 ist eine Lageraufnahme 6 vorhanden, in die ein Lager 9 von aussen aber auch von innen montiert werden kann. Das Lager 9 kann durch eine Lagerbefestigung 10, z.B. in Form eines Klemmringes, an dem Gehäuse 1 befestigt werden. Die Lageraufnahme 6 und -halterung oder -befestigung 10 kann auch mit dem Gehäuse 1 einteilig sein, wie es z.B. in der EP 703 655 AI gezeigt ist. Eine Axialrichtung 30, beispielsweise eine Rotationsachse eines Ankers der elektrischen Maschine, die in dem Gehäuse 1 angeordnet ist, bildet eine Mittelachse für das Gehäuse 1. Bspw. senkrecht zu der Axialrichtung 30 weist das Gehäuse 1 als eine Aufnahme 12 zumindest eine Bürstenführung 16 auf, in die eine Bürste 15, als ein Funktionselement 3, von aussen in zumindest teilweiser radialer Richtung 31 eingeführt werden kann und schräg oder senkrecht zur Axialrichtung 30 verschiebbar ist. Die Bürste 15 wird durch die Bürstenführung 16 geführt und liegt auf einem Kommutator einer elektrischen Maschine auf, der innerhalb des Gehäuses 1 angeordnet ist.The housing 1 has, for example, at least one receptacle 12, for example in the form of a pocket, for a functional element 3 in which it is mounted and / or guided and / or fastened. At one axial end of the housing 1 there is a bearing receptacle 6, into which a bearing 9 can be mounted from the outside but also from the inside. The bearing 9 can be fastened to the housing 1 by means of a bearing fastening 10, for example in the form of a clamping ring. The bearing receptacle 6 and mounting or fastening 10 can also be in one piece with the housing 1, as is shown, for example, in EP 703 655 AI. An axial direction 30, for example an axis of rotation of an armature of the electrical machine, which is arranged in the housing 1, forms a central axis for the housing 1. perpendicular to the axial direction 30, the housing 1 has at least one brush guide 16 as a receptacle 12, into which a brush 15, as a functional element 3, can be inserted from the outside in at least partial radial direction 31 and can be displaced obliquely or perpendicular to the axial direction 30 , The brush 15 is guided through the brush guide 16 and rests on a commutator of an electrical machine, which is arranged within the housing 1.
Als Funktionselemente 3 sind weiterhin bspw. zumindest eine, elektrische Entstörspule 18 vorhanden. Die Spulen 18 werden ebenfalls aussen in einer Aufnahme 12 gehalten. Die Spule 18 wird über elektrische Anschlüsse elektrisch mit zumindest einer Bürste 15 verbunden.At least one electrical interference suppression coil 18 is also present, for example, as functional elements 3. The coils 18 are also held on the outside in a receptacle 12. The coil 18 is electrically connected to at least one brush 15 via electrical connections.
Zur Halterung oder zur elektrischen Verbindung von Funktionselementen 3 untereinander dient ein Verbindungselement 21, das ebenfalls in eine Aufnahme 12, die beispielsweise als Klemmaufnahme ausgebildet ist, des Gehäuses 1 einsteckbar ist. Das Verbindungselement 21 weist einen Klemmschlitz auf, in den ein elektrischer Anschluss einer Spule 18 und einer Bürstenstromzuführung zusammen eingeklemmt werden und so elektrisch miteinander verbunden werden können.A connecting element 21, which can also be inserted into a receptacle 12, which is designed, for example, as a clamp receptacle, of the housing 1, serves for holding or for the electrical connection of functional elements 3 to one another. The connecting element 21 has a clamping slot into which an electrical connection of a coil 18 and a brush power supply are clamped together and can thus be electrically connected to one another.
Ebenfalls wird an oder in das Gehäuse 1 eine Feder 33 montiert, die die Bürste 15 an den Kommutator 43 (Fig. 3) drückt.A spring 33 is also mounted on or in the housing 1, which presses the brush 15 against the commutator 43 (FIG. 3).
Ein Drehzahlerfassungselement, wie z.B. ein Hall-Sensor, kann ebenfalls an das Gehäuse 1 von aussen montiert werden.A speed detection element, such as a Hall sensor can also be mounted on the housing 1 from the outside.
Das Gehäuse 1 kann somit die Funktion eines Lagerschildes 24 und/oder eines Bürstenhalters 27 in sich integrieren. Das Gehäuse 1 kann ganz aus Kunststoff gespritzt sein. Ein Teil des Gehäuses 1 kann auch ein magnetisches Rückschlusselement oder ein Polgehäuse für den Elektromotor bilden. Wenn das Gehäuse 1 aus einem elektrisch leitenden Material ist, wie z.B. einem Metall, so sind die Aufnahmen 12 elektrisch von dem Gehäuse 1 isoliert. Dies kann beispielsweise dadurch erfolgen, dass aus Kunststoff bestehende Aufnahmen 12 an das Gehäuse 1 montiert werden, oder Aufnahmen aus Kunststoff an das Gehäuse 1 angespritzt werden. Das Gehäuse 1 kann auch aus einem Gemisch aus . Kunststoff und einem magnetisch leitenden Material gespritzt sein, so dass es als magnetisches Rückschlusselement dient. Elektrisch isolierte Aufnahmen 12 können auch in diesem Fall, an das Gehäuse 1 angespritzt sein.The housing 1 can thus integrate the function of a bearing plate 24 and / or a brush holder 27 into itself. The housing 1 can be injection molded entirely from plastic. Part of the housing 1 can also form a magnetic yoke element or a pole housing for the electric motor. If the housing 1 is made of an electrically conductive material, such as a metal, the receptacles 12 are electrically insulated from the housing 1. This can be done, for example, by mounting receptacles 12 made of plastic on the housing 1, or injection molding plastic receptacles onto the housing 1. The housing 1 can also consist of a mixture. Plastic and a magnetically conductive material can be injected so that it serves as a magnetic yoke element. Electrically insulated receptacles 12 can also be injection molded onto the housing 1 in this case.
Zur elektrischen Verbindung von Funktionselementen 3, 15, 18 können in dem Gehäuse 1 elektrische • Leiterbahnen (nicht gezeigt) eingespritzt sein.For the electrical connection of functional elements 3, 15, 18, electrical conductor tracks (not shown) can be injected into the housing 1.
Figur 2 zeigt ein erfindungsgemässes Gehäuse 1 mit montierten Funktionselementen 3. In Figur 2 sind zwei äussere elektrische Anschlüsse 36 gezeigt, durch die ein elektrischer Strom über die Spulen 18, die Bürsten 15 und den Kommutator auf eine Wicklung des Ankers der elektrischen Maschine fHessen kann.FIG. 2 shows a housing 1 according to the invention with mounted functional elements 3. Two external electrical connections 36 are shown in FIG.
Figur 3 zeigt die Feder 33 in Form einer Rollfeder ausgebildet in dem Gehäuse 1, in einem radialen Querschnitt entlang der Linie III-III der Figur 2. Die Bürste 16 wird durch die Feder 33 an den Kommutator 43 einer elektrischen Maschine angedrückt.Figure 3 shows the spring 33 in the form of a roller spring formed in the housing 1, in a radial cross section along the line III-III of Figure 2. The brush 16 is pressed by the spring 33 against the commutator 43 of an electrical machine.
Die Rollfeder 33 ist im entspannten Zustand kreisförmig aufgerollt. An einem Ende 46 der Rollfeder 33 weist sie bspw. eine V-Form 49 auf. In einer Innenöffnung 52 des Gehäuses 1 dreht sich der Kommutator 43. Das Gehäuse 1 hat nahe der Öffnung 52 einen Vorsprung 55, der sich ausgehend von der Öffnung 52 etwa in einer radialen Richtung 70 entlang der Bürstenführung 16 erstreckt. Dieser Vorsprung 55 bildet einen Hinterschnitt 50 mit einer zugewandten Wandung 61 der Bürstenführung 16, in dem sich die V-Form 49 der Feder 33 festklemmt. Wenn die Feder 33 so befestigt ist, wird sie weiter aufgerollt, bis die Bürste 15 in die Bürstenführung 16 eingeschoben werden kann. Die Bürste 15 hat an einem dem Kommutator 43 abgewandten Ende eine Schräge 58, an die der kreisförmige . Teil der noch aufgerollten Rollfeder 33 unter Spannung angelegt wird. Die Bürste 15 wird durch die Feder 33 an eine zweite Wandung 64 der Bürstenführung 16 und an den Kommutator 43 angedrückt. Die der zweiten Wandung 64 gegenüberliegende Wandung 61 der Bürstenführung 16 hat eine gebogene Form, die in etwa der Form der Feder 33 zwischen V- Form 49 und aufgerolltem Teil angepasst ist. Die Bürste 15 wird durch die zweite Wandung 64 und ein Teilstück 67, das am Vorsprung 55 ausgebildet ist, geführt. Die als Rollfeder ausgebildete Feder 33 kann im Gegensatz zu einer Spiralfeder eine nahezu konstante Kraft trotz sich abnutzender Bürstenlänge erzeugen. Ebenso kann die Länge der Bürstenführung 16 in radialer Richtung 70 besser ausgenutzt werden, da die als Rollfeder ausgebildete Feder 33 weniger axialen Bauraum im Gehäuse beansprucht als eine Spiralfeder. The roller spring 33 is rolled up circularly in the relaxed state. At one end 46 of the scroll spring 33, it has, for example, a V-shape 49. The commutator 43 rotates in an inner opening 52 of the housing 1. The housing 1 has a projection 55 near the opening 52, which extends from the opening 52 approximately in a radial direction 70 along the brush guide 16. This projection 55 forms an undercut 50 with a facing wall 61 of the brush guide 16, in which the V-shape 49 of the spring 33 clamps. When the spring 33 is fastened in this way, it is rolled up further until the brush 15 can be pushed into the brush guide 16. The brush 15 has at one end facing away from the commutator 43 a bevel 58 to which the circular. Part of the still rolled up coil spring 33 is applied under tension. The brush 15 is pressed by the spring 33 against a second wall 64 of the brush guide 16 and against the commutator 43. The wall 61 of the brush guide 16 opposite the second wall 64 has a curved shape which is approximately matched to the shape of the spring 33 between the V-shape 49 and the rolled-up part. The brush 15 is guided through the second wall 64 and a section 67 which is formed on the projection 55. In contrast to a spiral spring, the spring 33 designed as a roller spring can generate an almost constant force in spite of the brush length becoming worn. Likewise, the length of the brush guide 16 in the radial direction 70 can be better utilized, since the spring 33 designed as a roller spring takes up less axial installation space in the housing than a spiral spring.
