Definitions
- the invention relates to a contact element holder for making electrical contact with a rotor, in particular a brush holder for commutator or slip ring machines, according to the preamble of claim 1.
- commutator brushes of commutator machines e.g. Small DC motors cause jumps when changing from one commutator lamella, etc. due to rounding of the mutators.
- Running noises that are transmitted to the machine housing via the brush holder and emitted by the latter. To reduce this running noise, noise-decoupled brush holders are used.
- the decoupling elements between the carrier and the brush holder are designed as spring-elastic webs which connect an intermediate carrier which firmly holds the brush holder to the carrier.
- Intermediate carrier and carrier are designed as plates that lie in a common plane.
- the meandering webs either lie in the plane of the plates or run at right angles to the plates, the meanders pointing in the axial direction of the commutator in the latter case.
- the two plates and the webs are designed as a one-piece molded part.
- the contact element holder according to the invention with the features of claim 1 has the advantage that a rotational decoupling of the quiver about the rotor axis is achieved without additional degrees of freedom of a translatory or rotary type, and thus, when used in commutator machines, the centered position of the commutator brushes required for good commutation relative to one non-decoupled, rigid brush holder is not deteriorated.
- the contact element holder can be specifically tuned and can therefore be adapted to different machine applications quite easily.
- the contact element holder according to the invention can be implemented very simply in terms of construction in that, according to a preferred embodiment of the invention, at least three decoupling elements are provided and each decoupling element has only one degree of freedom, the ' decoupling elements being arranged between the carrier and the quiver such that the degree of freedom of each decoupling element is in the tangential direction runs to the rotor.
- the decoupling elements are offset from one another in the circumferential direction by preferably the same angle of rotation, that is to say arranged in a star shape.
- the quivers are arranged on an intermediate support and the support and intermediate support are connected to one another by the decoupling elements, the decoupling elements preferably being designed as elastic, flat webs, each of which is in is a radial plane to the rotor axis.
- Carrier and intermediate carrier are designed as insulating material plates that lie in a common plane, and the elastic webs extend at right angles to the plates.
- the contact element holder requires little space, which is advantageous for accommodating additional interference suppression elements.
- the decoupling elements lie in the demolding direction, so that in the
- FIG. 1 is a plan view of a brush holder and 2 for a small DC motor according to a first and second embodiment
- the brush holder shown in plan view in FIG. 1 for a commutator machine used as a small DC motor as an example of a contact element holder has a carrier 11 which has a square recess 12 in the center, in which an intermediate carrier 13 lies.
- Carrier 11 and intermediate carrier 13 are designed as disk-shaped insulating material plates and are connected to one another via a total of four elastic decoupling elements 14.
- the intermediate carrier 13 has a circular passage opening 15 for the passage of a commutator (not shown here) of the small DC motor.
- the brush holder has two commutator brushes 16, which are each axially displaceably received in a brush holder 17 extending in the direction of the passage opening 15 and are pressed onto the commutator in the assembled state by means of brush pressure springs (not shown).
- the electrical leads of the commutator brushes 16 are designated 18.
- the brush holder 17 are fastened on the intermediate carrier 13.
- two striving arms 131 are provided on the intermediate carrier 13, which lie with play in corresponding, lateral extensions 121 of the recess 12.
- the brush holder 17 are made of metal and attached to the arms 131.
- the brush holder 17 can also be made of insulating material and are then produced in one piece with the insulating material plate of the intermediate carrier 13 by spraying, so that the arms 131 are omitted.
- the four decoupling elements 14 are arranged offset in a star shape around the passage opening 12 in the intermediate carrier 13 by the same circumferential angle and are fixed on the one hand between the brush holders 17 on the intermediate carrier 13 and on the other hand on the carrier 11.
- Each decoupling element 14 has only one degree of freedom and is arranged such that this degree of freedom extends in the tangential direction to the commutator, i.e. to the passage opening 15 receiving the commutator, the brush holder of course being mounted in the motor housing such that the axis of the passage opening 15 is in the intermediate carrier 13 coincides with the commutator axis.
- the intermediate carrier 13 with the brush holders 17 fastened thereon can only execute a limited, rotatable pivoting path around the commutator, so that the commutator brushes 16 pressing onto the commutator are rotationally decoupled.
- Other degrees of freedom namely two rotary and three translational, are not available or are negligible.
- the decoupling elements 14 are realized by means of elastic, flat webs 19, each of which lies in a plane radial to the commutator axis or to the axis of the passage opening 15.
- a flat web can be seen in plan view in the sectional view in FIG. 3. It has a U-shape with legs 191, 192 and with a yoke 193 connecting the legs 191, 192.
- One leg 191 is attached to the carrier 11 and the other leg 192 to the intermediate carrier 13.
- the webs 19 are integrally molded with them when the carrier 11 and the intermediate carrier 13 are sprayed, the brush holder 17 also being molded at the same time, and the separate arms 131 on the intermediate carrier 13 are thereby eliminated.
- the webs 19 protrude at right angles from the insulating material plates which form the carrier 11 and the intermediate carrier 13, so that they lie in the direction of removal when spraying and no additional transverse slides are required in the injection mold.
- the brush holder seen in plan view in FIG. 2 is designed according to the same basic principle.
- the decoupling elements have only one degree of freedom and are arranged between the carrier 11 and the intermediate carrier 13 in such a way that the existing degree of freedom extends in the tangential direction to the commutator, so that the brush holder 17 with the commutator brushes therein can only perform a limited rotation around the commutator and all other degrees of freedom of the intermediate support 13 are practically non-existent.
- the intermediate carrier 13 is designed here as a circular insulating plate which lies with play in the likewise circular recess 12 of the carrier 11 designed as an insulating plate.
- each decoupling element 14 is in turn designed as a flat, elastic web 19, which is U-shaped and protrudes at right angles from the insulating material plates forming the carrier 11 and intermediate carrier 13. In the same way as in FIGS. 1 and 3, the web 19 is firmly connected with its one leg 191 to the carrier 11 and its other leg 192 to the intermediate carrier 13.
- the yoke 193 is formed differently than in 'Fig. 3 arcuate. Otherwise, the structure and mode of operation of the modified brush holder according to FIG. 2 is identical to the brush holder in FIG. 1, so that reference is made to the above statements in this regard. Components of the brush holder according to FIG. 2 which correspond to the components of the brush holder in FIG. 1 are provided with the same reference symbols.
- the contact element holder described as an example of a brush holder for a commutator machine for establishing an electrical connection to a rotor, in the exemplary embodiment to the commutator, is also used in so-called slip ring machines, e.g. Synchronous machines with
- Slip ring rotor can be used.
- so-called grinding brushes are inserted into the quiver, which are spring-loaded on at least one slip ring instead of on a commutator.
- the contact element holder described can be used wherever an electrical contact between a spatially fixed current-carrying component and a rotating current-carrying component (rotor) is to be established.
