  • the brush holder between the two points at which the brush is supported on the brush holder have a concave surface.
  • the brush is not arranged so that the brush holder, z. B. in a recess penetrates. Rather, the brush is arranged only on one side of the brush holder and touches the brush holder only on one side or on an outer surface of the brush holder, in particular in the region of the concave surface.
  • the brush is advantageously designed in one piece.
  • the brush may be mounted between the two points on the brush holder such that the brush is urged toward the brush holder, in particular by means of a fastener.
  • the fastening means can use the brush on the brush holder or its concave surface, so that therefore the fastening means is arranged such that it is exposed to a Switzerlandebelastung, which results from the elastic bias of the brush in the bulge.
  • the brush may be urged by a rivet or screw as a fastener to the brush holder.
  • the brush bears against the concave surface of the brush holder at several points or on one surface of the brush.
  • the brush can be mounted on the brush holder such that the bulge of the brush on the brush holder in the region of the concave surface (supporting) is applied.
  • the brush has connections for electrical contacting between the two points on which the brush is supported on the brush holder.
  • These connections can be designed, for example, as holes.

  • the brush holder has webs, by means of which the brush is secured in the axial direction, by means of which therefore the mobility of the brush in the axial direction is prevented or restricted. Accordingly, therefore, the brush can be arranged in a groove which secures the brush in the axial direction.
  • the webs are based on the axial direction on both sides of the concave surface.
  • the brush may in particular have two free ends for electrical contacting of the lateral surface of the slip ring.
  • the free ends are resiliently movable in a direction orthogonal to the axial direction x.
  • the brush is designed in the form of a metal strip, which is electrically conductive and resilient.
  • the invention also relates to a slip ring arrangement, which comprises a slip ring with a lateral surface and a brush unit with a brush holder and an elastic brush, wherein the brush electrically contacts the lateral surface. Further, the brush is mounted on the brush holder such that the brush is resiliently biased between two points where the brush is supported on the brush holder so that the brush has a bulge, the brush abutting between the two points on the brush holder.
  • the brush unit is designed so that the forces for supporting the brush relative to the brush holder relative to the slip ring are oriented in the tangential direction.
  • the slip ring assembly is used to transmit electrical power and / or electrical signals, so for the transmission of information.
  • the slip ring assembly may be configured to include a plurality of slip rings juxtaposed in the axial direction and a plurality of brush holders juxtaposed in the axial direction.
  • the brush holder are arranged at an axial distance from each other.
  • the slip ring assembly may have brackets and the brush holder fasteners, z. B. in the form of eyelets, for fixing the brush holder to the brackets.
  • the slip ring assembly on holders on which the brush holder is fixed, wherein the brush holder and the holders are designed such that the brush holder for relative axial adjustment relative to the brackets, in particular continuously, is displaceable.
  • brackets are arranged with respect to the circumferential direction of the slip ring on both sides of the bulge of the brush.
  • the contact forces on a slip ring of a corresponding slip ring arrangement can be reproducibly displayed in a very small tolerance field in a comparatively simple manner so that the mileage or service life for a slip ring arrangement can be increased.
  • a brush holder 1 is shown, which is made in the illustrated embodiment of an electrically non-conductive material.
  • This brush holder 1 has centrally a concave surface 1.1, which is limited by two webs 1.3 with respect to an x-direction (see also FIGS FIG. 2 ).
  • two holes or passages 1.2 are incorporated in the brush holder 1, which extend along a y-direction and penetrate the concave surface 1.1.
  • the brush holder 1 also has at its ends in each case a fastening element 1.4, designed here as an open eyelet, and further bores or passages 1.5, which run in a first approximation in the z-direction.
  • the brush holder 1 has a central bore 1.6.
  • FIG. 3 a brush 2 is shown before it is mounted on the brush holder 1.
  • the brush 2 is designed in the form of a comparatively elastic electrically conductive metal strip, wherein the ends are 2.2 slotted.
  • a central hole 2.3 and two adjacent holes 2.4 are provided in the central portion of the brush 2.
  • the brush 2 is at least between two points P1, P2, at which the brush 2 on the brush holder 1, in particular in the y-direction, supports, elastically biased, so that the brush 2 has a bulge 2.1.
  • the brush 2 abuts on the brush holder 1, in particular on the concave surface 1.1.
  • the bulge 2.1 of the brush 2 abuts on the brush holder 1, in particular on the concave surface 1.1.
  • the brush holder 1, in particular the concave surface 1.1 serves to align the brush 2, in particular for the exact positioning of the free ends 2.2. It is advantageous if the angle ⁇ is set with great accuracy.
  • the angle ⁇ is in accordance with FIG. 4 the angle between a central radially oriented (in the direction z) axis and the course of the brush beyond the bulge 2.1, or in the non-prestressed areas on both sides of the bulge 2.1.
  • the brush 2 is only elastically deformed, so it has no plastic deformation or resulting structural changes. Therefore, the mechanical properties with respect to the spring action for use in a slip ring assembly are very good.
  • an electrically conductive contact element 6 (here in the form of a sleeve 6) through one of the passages 1.2 and a hole 2.4 of the brush 2 is pushed (see FIG. 4 ) and with the brush 2, z. B. electrically contacted by a solder joint.
  • strands of electrical wires are then introduced and soldered to the contact elements 6.
  • the strands are formed by the passages 1.5 extending substantially in the z-direction (see FIG. 1 ), so that the passages 1.5 also serve as strain relief.
  • the guided through the passages 1.5 strands can be potted in the passages 1.5. For clarity, was omitted in the figures on the representation of the strands.
  • a slip ring assembly which comprises a plurality of brush units (ie, a plurality of brush holder 1 and brush 2) and in the axial direction x juxtaposed slip rings 3.
  • the slip rings 3 are separated by electrically insulating rings 8 at an axial distance from each other, each slip ring 3 has a cylindrical surface area 3.1.
  • the slip rings 3 are on its inside against each other electrically isolated on a support tube 7 secured against rotation.
  • the lateral surfaces 3.1 are contacted by the brushes 2 electrically.
  • the slip rings 3 are contacted with strands for transmitting signals or electrical power.
  • FIG. 5 dispensed with the representation of electrical lines.
  • the brush holder 1 are fixed with their fasteners 1.4 to brackets 4, in particular by a clip mechanism.
  • the brackets 4 are accordingly arranged relative to the circumferential direction of the slip rings 3 on both sides of the bulge 2.1 of the brush 2.
  • the slip ring assembly is designed so that the brush holder 1 are lined up in the axial direction x together, so are arranged at an axial distance from each other. This means in particular that there is an axial air gap between adjacent brush holders 1 or adjacent brush units. In this way, the axial positions of the individual brushes 2 relative to the respective associated slip ring 3 can be adjusted individually, so that tolerance-related dimensional deviations can be compensated.
  • the presented way of determining the brush holder 1 on the brackets 4 by means of the fastening elements 1.4 is advantageous.
  • This determination is frictionally engaged and designed such that with a correspondingly large force introduction a stepless axial displacement for the purpose of a relative axial adjustment of a single brush holder 1 along the brackets 4 of the brush holder 1 along the brackets 4 is displaceable.
  • the slip ring assembly is often operated so that the brush unit and the holder 4 are fixed, so are assigned to a stator, while the slip rings 3 and the support tube 7 act as a rotor in contrast.
  • the slip ring assembly serves to transfer electrical currents between the rotor and the stator, the rotor and the stator being rotatable relative to one another about an axis A extending in the direction x.
  • each of the brushes 2 contacts the lateral surface 3.1 of a slip ring 3 in a grinding manner.
  • a slip ring 3 is contacted on its lateral surface 3.1 per brush unit twice by a brush 2, since each brush 2 has two legs, each with a free end 2.2.
  • the ends 2.2 are radially movable in the context of the elasticity of the brush 2.
  • the webs 1.3 have been provided on the brush holders 1.3, so that a positive axial securing of the brushes 2 is present here.
  • This aspect also includes the function according to which the brushes 2 are guided by the webs 1.3 in such a way that they can no longer interlock, in particular their free ends 2.2.
  • the brush holder 1 'and the brush 2' no central passage or no central bore.
  • the brush 2 ' is initially pressed against the brush holder 1', so that the brush 2 'is elastically deformed and abuts against the concave surface 1.1 of the brush holder 1' .
  • an electrically conductive contact element 6 is ever pushed through one of the passages 1.2 and a hole 2.4 of the brush 2 'and with the brush in this phase 2 ', z. B. electrically contacted by a solder joint.
  • the electrical contact is used in the second embodiment at the same time as a mechanical attachment.
  • the brush 2 ' is elastically prestressed at least between two points P1, P2, at which the brush 2' is supported on the brush holder 1 'and on which the brush 2' is electrically contacted, so that the brush 2 ' has a bulge 2.1.
  • the brush 2 ' is also located on the brush holder 1', in particular on the concave surface 1.1.
  • the brush 2 ' is not pulled against the concave surface 1.1 by means of an additional fastening means. Rather, the concern of the brush 2 'results in the concave surface 1.1 only from the elastic bias.
