Definitions

  • the invention relates to a carbon brush with shutdown device according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • a known carbon brush of this type ( DE 1 763 744 A1 ) Is contained in the cavity of the carbon brush a resilient single body, which unites the compression spring body and the shutdown body in one element.
  • the single body is designed as a resilient plastic cylinder, which is biased in the cavity and is held by a fixing device in the form of a lid, which covers the single body and the end face of the brush body.
  • Carbon brushes of this type are known ( DE 1 679 529 U1 ), in which the compression spring body consists of a cylindrical helical spring made of spring steel, which can be biased and compressed to reach the smallest possible overall length of the system of the shutdown device and a maximum wear path of the brush body so far that their cylindrical turns lie on each other and the spring is biased on block.
  • the maximum usable wear path of the brush body is determined, which results from the ratio of the possible theoretical wear path of the carbon brush to the length of the shutdown device.
  • a shorter wear path than the actual usable length of the brush body requires an early replacement of the carbon brushes if they have exceeded the permissible wear path.
  • Cylindrical coil springs made of metal as a compression spring body are expensive and can be damaged, z. B.
  • the compression spring body has an integral cylindrical projection at one end, which is pressed as Einpressteil in the cavity and is held tightly and firmly by press connection, the resilient behavior of the plastic material is not only used to seal the cavity but also for pressing in the cavity, whereby the compression spring body is so firmly connected by means of press connection with additional seal with the brush body that the support forces of the compression spring body are received by the press connection.
  • the carbon brush with shutdown device has the advantage that due to the plastic material, the cost of the carbon brush can be reduced and also a shorter, crowded design of the shutdown device can be achieved.
  • Plastic material also has the advantage of facilitated molding for various designs. Furthermore, this creates the conditions for the components compression spring body and Abschalt analyses can be designed as a one-piece component.
  • the shutdown device can also be produced in the 2K process. Since plastic material due to the resilient behavior with appropriate design has a sealing effect, can be dispensed with an upper-side cutting disc, which is otherwise necessary for metallic springs so that during the Verstampfung no metallic powder enters the cavity of the brush body, thereby blocking a local metallic spring could.
  • the resilient pressure spring body made of plastic and its bending stiffness compared to cylindrical metallic coil springs can be increased so that the compression spring body can withstand large lateral forces without greater skewing and thus reliably damage to the commutator of the electric motor, to the carbon brushes and other components of a Electric device can be avoided and thereby eliminated repair costs.
  • the pressure spring body is formed of thermoplastic material.
  • the compression spring body and the shutdown body can also be united to form a materially integral component made of plastic.
  • Such a one-piece component as a shutdown device is particularly simple and inexpensive.
  • the axial dimension of the shutdown device can be kept small in this and thereby the usable wear length of the carbon brush be further increased, with all the resulting advantages.
  • the pressure spring body consists of an elastomer. Also in this case, it may be advantageous if the compression spring body and the shutdown body are formed as a one-piece component.
  • the pressure spring body is formed from at least one spring made of plastic material.
  • the spring z. B. be formed as bellows or spring coils have. It may be advantageous if the spring coils are in the prestressed, compressed state while shortening the spring at least partially into each other. As a result, a shortening in the region of the pressure spring body in the prestressed state can be achieved, with the result that an increase in the usable wear length of the carbon brush is achieved. It is understood that even with such a design spring body this can be united with the shutdown of plastic to a materially integral component. Also, different materials for the part constituting the compression spring body and for the other part forming the shut-off body of the one-piece component are possible, and production can be made in the 2K process.
  • the compression spring body closes the end of the cavity of the brush body while sealing against material entry of an evaporation to be introduced above it. This can be dispensed with a special blade. This leads to a reduction in the axial dimensions of the shutdown device and also reduces costs due to omission of the cutting disc. The shutdown device becomes even more compact. For the sealing of the cavity against the material input of the metallic powder in the Verstampfung the sealing effect of the plastic material is used.
  • the compression spring body is formed from a plastic foam body.
  • a plastic foam body Such is made of foamed plastic and has a sufficiently resilient behavior.
  • the compression spring body can in this case z. B. be formed of a compressible polyurethane foam and an approximately cylindrical body in the Having education as a one-piece component, which is effective as a spring buffer and at the lower end in the one-piece design forms the part that is a shut-off body in two-part design.
  • a special simplification is achieved.
  • the number of necessary components of the shutdown device is reduced to this one-piece plastic foam body, which also makes a cutting disc below the Verstaubung dispensable due to the sealing behavior.
  • In the cavity of the brush body is then only the plastic foam body, wherein the cavity is closed at the open end by means of the Verstampfung, which receives the supporting forces for the plastic foam body.
  • the compression spring body is formed by itself or in the form of the integral with the shutdown body component as a hollow body or as a solid body.
  • a first embodiment of a carbon brush 10 with shutdown device 20 is shown.
  • Carbon brushes 10 of this type provide in a known manner the electrical contact to the commutator of electric motors, as they are used for example for electrical appliances for household or craft, especially for electric hand tool machines.
  • Such carbon brushes 10 consist of a brush body 11 made of graphite, in which usually the electrical connection is pressed or otherwise connected thereto.
  • the necessary contact pressure with which the brush body 11 is pressed against the commutator of the electric motor is effected by a spring element z. B. in the form of a coil spring ( EP 0 937 320 B1 ).
  • the shutdown device 20 has the purpose to protect the commutator of the electric motor after wear of the carbon brushes from mechanical damage or burns.
  • the shutdown device 20 has a shut-off body 21 made of electrically insulating material, which is designed as a pin or Abschaltnippel.

  • the cavity 12 is at in Fig.
  • a so-called Verstampfung 14 is provided from metallic powdery materials through which the supporting forces of the compression spring body 24 are received and fed into the brush body 11.
  • the cutting disk 13 prevents metal powder during the process of the Verstampfung can reach into the region of the cavity 12 and thus in the region of the pressure spring body 24, which could lead to disturbances during the shutdown process.
  • the shut-off device 20 is shown in the tensioned state of the compression spring body 24, wherein the brush body 11 is not shown broken off in terms of its full length.
  • the individual components of the switch-off device 20, that is to say the switch-off body 21, the compression spring body 24, the cutting disk 13 and the damping 14, determine a certain overall length of the system and determine the usable wear path of the carbon brush 10.
  • the total length of the carbon brush 10 is usually determined by the construction of the electrical appliance, so that with a corresponding overall length of the system of the shutdown device 20, a residual wear path remains as a real effective length. If this wear path is exceeded, replacement of the carbon brushes 10 is necessary.
  • the compression spring body 24 according to the first embodiment and according to the invention is formed of plastic and resilient. He exists z. B. of an elastomer.
  • the compression spring body 24 has the shape of a spring 25, said spring 25 z. B. is formed as a bellows 26 whose wall 27 is corrugated, resulting in rib-like projections, which are either approximately annular with respect to the longitudinal central axis and parallel to each other or extend spirally.
  • the spring 25 is z. B. formed as a hollow body. At the lower end in the drawing of this compression spring body 24 of the shut-off body 21 is attached. The upper end of the cavity 12 is closed by means of the cutting disc 13, over which the Verstampfung 14 is provided.
  • the design of the compression spring body 24 made of plastic makes it possible due to the sealing effect of the plastic material to dispense with the cutting wheel 13 and to use the compression spring body 24 directly with the upper end as a sealing element. If at the upper end of the compression spring body 24 a particular cylindrical extension integrally formed, the compression spring body 24 can be pressed with this extension into the cavity 12 from above.
  • the extension is dimensioned so that it is held by means of press connection in the cavity 12 and thereby replaces the Verstampfung 14, which leads to a further simplification.
