【発明の属する技術分野】
本発明は、電気機械に用いられる樹脂硬化型のカーボンブラシに関する。
【0002】
【従来の技術】
従来、この種の樹脂硬化型のカーボンブラシは、フィラーとなる人造黒鉛や天然黒鉛等の黒鉛粉末と、バインダーとなる熱硬化性樹脂を混練し、成形、硬化してカーボンブラシとしている(例えば、特許文献1参照)。
【0003】
また、この種のカーボンブラシには、黒鉛粉末よりも良導体であるアルミニウムを添加することによって、効率を高めたカーボンブラシが広く使用されている(例えば、特許文献2参照)。

【発明が解決しようとする課題】
この樹脂硬化型のカーボンブラシは、長時間使用していると、カーボンブラシ自身が高温となり、これに伴って、ブラシ特性が低下するおそれがあった。また、この樹脂硬化型のカーボンブラシは、使用時に、整流子表面に被膜を形成しやすく、カーボンブラシの仕事効率が低下する要因の一つになっていた。
【0006】
また、アルミニウムが添加されたカーボンブラシは、仕事効率は向上するが、寿命が低下するという欠点を有していた。また、整流子表面の被膜を研磨する研磨剤を添加する必要もあった。
【0007】
本発明は、ブラシの仕事効率が向上し、長寿命化を図れる樹脂硬化型のカーボンブラシを提供することを目的とする。
【0008】
【課題を解決するための手段】
前記課題を解決するための本発明に係るカーボンブラシは、樹脂硬化型カーボンブラシにおいて、フィラーと、バインダーとなる熱硬化性樹脂と、前記フィラーと前記バインダーとの合計量に対して銀を添加剤として0.1〜1.0%となるように添加し、成形、硬化してなるものである。また、前記銀が、粒子径が0.04mm〜0.3mmであるものである。
【0009】
フィラーと、バインダーとなる熱硬化性樹脂との混練時に、フィラーとバインダーとの合計量に対して銀を添加剤として0.1〜1.0%、好ましくは0.5〜1.0%となるよう添加し、成形、硬化する。ここで、銀の添加量が0.1%よりも少ない場合は、仕事効率の向上が見られない。
【0010】
添加剤とする銀は、一般的なものでよく、電解銀、アトマイズ銀等、特に制限はない。好ましい粒子径は、0.04mm〜0.3mm、さらに好ましくは0.05mm〜0.1mmである。このような粒子径とすることによって、フィラーとなる黒鉛粒子と均等に混合され、成形時に添加した銀がカーボンブラシ基材中に偏在することを防ぐことができる。
【0011】
本発明に使用できるフィラーとなる黒鉛粒子には、人造黒鉛又は天然黒鉛のいずれの黒鉛粒子をも使用することができる。また、これらを混合した黒鉛粒子であってもよい。
【0012】
これら黒鉛粒子の粒子間を結合するバインダーは、一般的な熱硬化性樹脂を使用することができ、例えば、固体状或いは液体状のエポキシ樹脂、フェノール樹脂及びこれらを変性して得られる種々の熱硬化性樹脂等を使用することができる。これら、樹脂は、バインダー分として10〜40%を使用することが好ましい。
【0013】
以上の黒鉛粒子60質量%〜90質量%と、バインダー10質量%〜40質量%と、これら、黒鉛粒子及びバインダーの総質量に対して、銀を0.1〜1.0%とを同時に混練する。そして、所定形状に成形後、バインダーが硬化する150〜250℃の温度で熱処理をし、カーボンブラシとする。
【0014】
このように、銀を添加剤として添加することによって、銀の持つ優れた電気伝導性によって、長時間にわたって、カーボンブラシの電気抵抗を安定させることができる。また、アルミニウムや銅よりも硬く、このため、研磨剤を添加することなく、整流子表面に形成される被膜を除去する作用も得ることが可能となる。さらに、銀は、銅と異なり、使用時に空気に晒された場合であっても酸化し難い。これによって、仕事効率は向上し、かつブラシを長寿命化することが可能となる。

【実施例】
(実施例1)
平均粒子径が50μmの黒鉛粒子80.0質量%と、バインダーとして汎用性エポキシ樹脂を20質量%と、これら黒鉛粒子及びバインダーの総重量に対して、0.5%となるように粒子径が0.075mm以下の銀を混合し、混練した。この混練物を所定の大きさとなるように粉砕した後、200MPaで所定形状に成形し、200℃で熱処理を行い、バインダーを硬化させ、カーボンブラシを得た。

TECHNICAL FIELD OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a resin-curable carbon brush used for an electric machine.
[0002]
[Prior art]
Conventionally, this type of resin-curable carbon brush is prepared by kneading a graphite powder such as artificial graphite or natural graphite as a filler and a thermosetting resin as a binder, molding and curing to form a carbon brush (for example, Patent Document 1).
[0003]
In addition, carbon brushes of which efficiency is improved by adding aluminum, which is a better conductor than graphite powder, to this type of carbon brush are widely used (for example, see Patent Document 2).
[0004]
[Patent Document 1]
Japanese Patent Publication No. 58-26156 [Patent Document 2]
JP-A-5-190249 [0005]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
When the resin-curable carbon brush is used for a long time, the carbon brush itself becomes high in temperature, and there is a possibility that the brush characteristics are deteriorated accordingly. In addition, the resin-curable carbon brush easily forms a film on the surface of the commutator during use, which is one of the factors that lower the work efficiency of the carbon brush.
[0006]
Further, the carbon brush to which aluminum is added has a disadvantage that the work efficiency is improved, but the life is shortened. Also, it was necessary to add an abrasive for polishing the film on the commutator surface.
[0007]
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION It is an object of the present invention to provide a resin-curable carbon brush capable of improving the brush work efficiency and extending the life.
[0008]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
A carbon brush according to the present invention for solving the above-mentioned problem, in a resin-curable carbon brush, a filler, a thermosetting resin serving as a binder, and silver added to a total amount of the filler and the binder. , And molded and cured. The silver has a particle diameter of 0.04 mm to 0.3 mm.
[0009]
At the time of kneading the filler and the thermosetting resin as a binder, 0.1 to 1.0%, preferably 0.5 to 1.0%, of silver as an additive with respect to the total amount of the filler and the binder. Add, mold and cure. Here, when the amount of silver added is less than 0.1%, no improvement in work efficiency is observed.
[0010]
The silver used as the additive may be a general silver, and is not particularly limited, such as electrolytic silver and atomized silver. The preferred particle diameter is 0.04 mm to 0.3 mm, more preferably 0.05 mm to 0.1 mm. With such a particle diameter, it is possible to prevent silver which is uniformly mixed with graphite particles serving as a filler and is added at the time of molding to be unevenly distributed in the carbon brush base material.
[0011]
As the graphite particles serving as the filler that can be used in the present invention, either graphite particles of artificial graphite or natural graphite can be used. Further, graphite particles obtained by mixing these may be used.
[0012]
As the binder for binding the graphite particles, a general thermosetting resin can be used. For example, a solid or liquid epoxy resin, a phenol resin, and various types of thermosetting resins obtained by modifying these resins can be used. A curable resin or the like can be used. These resins preferably use 10 to 40% as a binder component.
[0013]
60% to 90% by mass of the above graphite particles, 10% to 40% by mass of a binder, and 0.1 to 1.0% of silver based on the total mass of the graphite particles and the binder. I do. Then, after being formed into a predetermined shape, a heat treatment is performed at a temperature of 150 to 250 ° C. at which the binder is hardened to obtain a carbon brush.
[0014]
Thus, by adding silver as an additive, the electrical resistance of the carbon brush can be stabilized for a long time due to the excellent electrical conductivity of silver. Further, it is harder than aluminum and copper, and therefore, it is possible to obtain an effect of removing a film formed on the commutator surface without adding an abrasive. Further, unlike copper, silver is hardly oxidized even when exposed to air during use. As a result, work efficiency is improved, and the life of the brush can be extended.
