Definitions

  • the invention relates to a carbon brush with signaling wire and preferably with a current-carrying wire arranged in the carbon brush and optionally with an isolating nipple made of insulating material and spring-loaded in the longitudinal axis of the carbon brush, the signaling wire, which is at least partially surrounded by a sleeve, with a for indicating a specific consumption of carbon brushes
  • Carbon brush interacting commutator or slip ring for releasing a signal in electrically conductive contact is arranged in a preferably extending in the longitudinal axis direction of the carbon brush and starting from a first carbon brush surface recess such as bore.
  • Signaling strands can be covered at least in some areas with Teflon or an equivalent material, at least in the section running within the carbon brush.
  • the section is then glued into the recess. So that the signal wire cannot slip out of the adhesive material - Teflon does not accept an adhesive - on the one hand, a wavy or twisted geometry is embossed on the section surrounded by Teflon, and on the other hand the section is laid in a loop or U-shape in the recess. The installation of corresponding signal wires is clearly complex.
  • FR-A 2 223 858 it is known to arrange a signaling wire in a sleeve made of insulating material, which extends at least in regions within a correspondingly adapted recess in the carbon brush. Since the signal wire itself is surrounded by an insulating jacket, problems can arise when it is clearly arranged in the sleeve.
  • optical conductors are used to detect carbon brush wear, via which light signals are transmitted or received.
  • a carbon brush for collector motors is known from DE 28 04 547 A1, in which a signaling wire surrounded by an insulating jacket is arranged in a longitudinal bore.
  • a prefabricated plastic sleeve is proposed according to G 84 33 023 U1, which can be inserted into a bore in a carbon brush.
  • the signal wire is then inserted into the plastic part itself. So that the signaling wire remains in the sleeve, it is slotted so that the signaling wire is clamped between the longitudinal halves of the sleeve which can be moved relative to one another when it is introduced into the carbon brush. If the bore for receiving the sleeve is too large compared to its outer diameter, a secure holding of the signal wire is not guaranteed.
  • the sleeve can also melt at high temperatures, resulting in an uncontrolled displacement of the signaling wire.
  • the present invention is based on the object of developing a carbon brush of the type described in the introduction in such a way that the carbon brush can be fitted with the signaling wire in a manner suitable for automatic and problem-free operation, and in addition a clear, secure positional fixation, in particular with respect to the area of the signaling wire section, which is to take place with the Commutator or the slip ring for releasing the signal interacts. It should also be ensured that the position fixing of the signaling wire does not cause any stresses in the carbon brush, which can lead to inadmissible cracks, particularly in the case of laminated carbon brushes.
  • the object is achieved in a carbon brush of the type described in the introduction in that the sleeve has an edge which extends at least in some areas and which lies against a shoulder of the recess, in that the sleeve with its outer edge surface spaced from the assigned first outer surface of the carbon brush and that adhesive material is introduced into the space formed between the outer surface of the sleeve edge and the first carbon brush surface and / or the signaling wire is fixed in position via a further recess extending from a side surface of the carbon brush.
  • the sleeve is fixed in position via a pin arranged in the second recess. Tamping over the second recess is also possible.
  • the second recess runs exclusively within one of the carbon brush layers.
  • the measures according to the invention ensure that the signal wire is securely fixed.
  • the use of metal such as brass as the sleeve material ensures, due to its hardness, that it can be easily inserted into the carbon brush even if the geometry of the recess and sleeve are closely coordinated.
  • the metal material also ensures problem-free gluing in the carbon brush, which would otherwise lead to considerable problems when using plastic. By squeezing like crimping the sleeve and signaling wire, it experiences an immovable and therefore clear positioning.
  • the edge sits on the shoulder or bottom of the first recess, which is preferably a stepped bore, and metered adhesive is added to the edge of the sleeve, that is to say the sleeve is not actually glued into the bore, thermal expansion of the adhesive cannot be so great occur that would otherwise lead to cracking. Nevertheless, fixation by the adhesive is ensured, since the adhesive is drawn into the joint between the sleeve and the wall of the carbon brush recess for hardening and only a correspondingly thin adhesive layer is formed.
  • the teachings according to the invention are suitable for all types of carbon brushes which have a signaling strand, i.e. those which have only one signaling strand or those which, in addition to the signaling strand, comprise only a shutdown device and / or a current-conducting helical compression spring and / or a current-conducting strand.
  • a carbon brush with a cuboid or cylindrical geometry with side or end faces, with one end face being able to be placed against a commutator or slip ring of an electric motor, comprising current-carrying wire arranged in the carbon brush, optionally with an insulating material that is spring-biased in the longitudinal axis of the carbon brush Shut-off nipple and a signaling wire, which extends with a section of a preferably in the longitudinal direction of the carbon brush (First) recess such as a hole is arranged and fixed in position in order to generate a signal to indicate a certain consumption of carbon brushes by interacting with the commutator or slip ring, the carbon brush being characterized in that the signaling wire extends over a (second) Recess is fixed in position.
  • the signaling wire is preferably tamped via the second recess starting from the side surface, such as a bore in the first recess.
  • the longitudinal bore can be adapted to the cross-section of the signal wire, so that a sufficient residual wall thickness remains.
  • the bore emanating from the side surface can have a relatively large cross-section in order to introduce and compact the powder for pounding the signaling wire through it.
  • the cross section of the second recess that is to say that which should be perpendicular or approximately perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the carbon brush, is preferably approximately 1.5 times the cross section of the first recess, which, as mentioned, is adapted approximately to that of the signaling wire.
  • the second recess should run at a distance L / 3 to L / 2 from the free end of the section of the signal wire running inside the carbon brush, the length of which corresponds within the carbon brush L.
  • the signal wire Since the signal wire is cut to length before it is inserted into the carbon brush, it must be ensured that the free end is stripped. For this purpose, it can be provided that the signal wire, after it has been cut to length and optionally pretreated, is immersed in an etchant in an adhesive, preferably made of polyurethane.
  • shut-off nipple (14) is made of insulating material and is spring-biased in the direction of the longitudinal axis (16) of the carbon brush (10), preferably by means of a helical spring (18).
  • Both the stranded wire (12) and the shut-off nipple (14) are stamped in by means of powdered-in metal powder (20) or (22).
  • An insulating plate (24), on which the helical spring (18) is supported, can additionally be arranged between the ramming powder (22) covering the shut-off nipple (14) and the end face facing it.
  • a section (26) of a signaling wire (28) also runs within the carbon brush (10).

  • the section (26) running in the bore (30) can additionally be surrounded by teflon material (31).
  • the section (26) of the signaling wire (28) extending in the bore (30) extends in the longitudinal direction of the bore (30).
  • the section (26) of the signaling wire (28) is surrounded in regions by a sleeve (32) which has a flange-like upper edge (34) which, when mounted Signaling wire (28) abuts a shoulder (36) of the stepped bore (30).
  • the length of the sleeve (32) is less than the section (26) surrounded by it. Consequently, the free end (38) of the section (26) extends in a space (44) which extends between the bottom (42) of the bore (30) and the lower edge of the sleeve (32). Since the free end (38) of the signaling wire (28) is stripped, insulation can optionally be carried out with an adhesive material, in order not to generate a signal prematurely, which could otherwise be caused by carbon dust generated when the carbon brush runs off.
  • the flange-like edge or collar (34) is set back with respect to the free surface (46) of the side of the carbon brush (10) from which the stepped bore (30) originates.

  • This paragraph (36) can be caused by any change in cross section.
  • a recess such as a bore (74) extends perpendicular to the longitudinal axis (16) of the carbon brush (60) from a side surface (72) of the layer (64) of the carbon brush (60), into which a pen can be inserted.
  • the bore (74) or the pin is dimensioned so that the pin (76) rests on the free upper surface of the edge (34).
  • the position of the sleeve (32) in the bore (30) of the carbon brush (70) according to FIG. 5 is achieved by adhesive material which is metered into the space (78) that is located between the surface (80) of the carbon brush (70). and the upper free surface of the collar (34) of the sleeve (32) extends.
  • the position of the sleeve (32) can also be fixed in that the pin (76) does not run above the collar (34), but extends laterally along the sleeve and touches it tangentially in order to achieve a position fix .
  • the sleeve by a side surface and Fixing the recess, preferably perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the sleeve, by stamping carbon material into it, for example.
  • a position fixation can also be done by, for example, a fastening element such as a screw.
