Abstract
Description
- The present disclosure generally relates to slip ring units.
- Slip ring units are used for conducting current to or from the rotating shaft of electrical machines. Slip ring units comprise a slip ring, typically made of copper, bronze or stainless steel and a carbon brush as the counterpart, typically made of graphite or a metal-graphite blend.
- The slip ring is mounted to the rotor shaft while the carbon brush is stationary. The carbon brush is pressed to the slip ring surface by a spring to ensure good electrical contact.
- The graphite has two functions. The first is to provide sufficient conductivity to transfer the needed current to the slip ring and the second is to act as a solid lubricant to provide low friction to keep the slip ring intact.
- The main drawback of existing carbon brushes is that they wear out over time and need to be replaced to ensure proper functionality. Depending on the application carbon brushes usually need to be replaced every 6 to 12 months, generating high maintenance costs during the entire lifetime of electrical machines.
- Moreover, due to the wear of the carbon brush, carbon dust is created, which can lead to clogging or electrical bridging for example.
-
CN109524866 aims to solve issues with abrasion and prolonging the service life of motors. This document discloses a graphene and nano-fibre reinforced copper-based graphite motor carbon brush. The carbon brush ofCN109524866 contains graphite, which is thus subjected to wear. - A general object of the present disclosure is to provide a slip ring unit that solves or at least mitigates the problems of the prior art.
- There is hence provided a slip ring unit comprising: a slip ring, and a brush, wherein one of the slip ring and the brush comprises a composite material comprising graphene and metal, wherein the graphene content is in a range 0.1-5 wt.% and the metal content is at least 90 wt.% of the total weight of the composite material.
- With an amount of graphene in the range 0.1-5 wt.% in the composite material contained in the slip ring or brush, low friction can be maintained while wear can be drastically reduced. Moreover, the electrical conductivity of the metal is not altered due to the outstanding electrical properties of graphene and is improved compared to carbon brushes containing graphite. The electric conductivity of graphene is higher than that of copper and on the same level as silver. Further, dust creation is reduced and thus the risk of clogging and/or short circuiting may be reduced or avoided.
- It has further been found that if a higher amount than about 5 wt.% of graphene is employed, the electrical conductivity starts to decrease, probably due to that the graphene start to form graphite.
- Herein the term graphene is used collectively for carbon atoms in a 2D-lattice in the form of mono-layer sheets, bi-layer sheets, few (3-5 layers)-layer sheets, or nano-platelets having a thickness of at most 50 nm, e.g. within the range of 1 to 50 nm. Also, when graphene is discussed herein, it should be understood, that some of the graphene may be in the form of graphene oxide (GO) or reduced Graphene Oxide (rGO). Thus, the graphene may comprise only pure graphene or a mixture of pure graphene and GO/rGO.
- According to one embodiment the graphene content is in the range 0.1-2 wt.%.
- According to one embodiment the graphene content is in the range 0.1-0.5 wt.%.
- According to one embodiment the metal content is at least 95 wt.%.
- According to one embodiment the metal content is in a range of 99.9-95 wt.%.
- According to one embodiment the slip ring or the brush which comprises the composite material comprises a metal carrier, wherein the composite material is provided as a coating on the metal carrier.
- The coating may for example be performed by electroplating, cold spraying, or thermal spraying.
- The metal carrier may for example be copper, silver, bronze, or stainless steel.
- According to one embodiment the composite material is a bulk material.
- The bulk material forms a rigid body.
- The metal and the graphene may be mixed homogeneously in the bulk material.
- The bulk material may be prepared via powder metallurgy, by mixing metal powder with graphene followed by consolidation into the bulk. By use of electroless deposition technique, the graphene flakes can be covered with metal prior to mixing. The consolidation can be achieved for instance by sintering, either in a conventional or a microwave oven, with spark plasma or by hot-pressing.
- According to one embodiment the slip ring comprises the composite material and the brush consists of metal.
- Low-friction and wear-limiting properties are thus provided by the slip ring, which do thus not have to be provided by the brush. The material of the brush can thus be free of graphite and/or carbon black. The metal of the brush may for example be copper or silver. This leads to a substantially extended lifetime of the brush.
- According to one embodiment the brush comprises the composite material and the slip ring consists of metal.
- According to one embodiment the metal is one of copper, silver, bronze, or stainless steel.
- According to one embodiment the composite material is free of graphite.
- According to one embodiment the composite material is free of carbon black.
