Description

本発明は、車両に搭載される電動パワーステアリング装置に備えられるモータ用ブラシの材料構成に関するものである。   The present invention relates to a material configuration of a motor brush provided in an electric power steering device mounted on a vehicle.

従来、電動パワーステアリング装置に備えられるモータ用ブラシは、カーボンと銅を主成分とするカーボンブラシが用いられている。   Conventionally, a carbon brush mainly composed of carbon and copper is used as a motor brush provided in an electric power steering apparatus.

特許文献1に開示されたカーボンブラシは、カーボンの含有量を40重量%以上の範囲に設定し、ブラシの耐アーク性を高めるようにしている。   In the carbon brush disclosed in Patent Document 1, the carbon content is set in a range of 40% by weight or more so as to improve the arc resistance of the brush.

特許文献2に開示されたカーボンブラシは、銅の含有量を10〜80重量%の範囲に設定し、ブラシの耐磨耗性を確保するようにしている。   In the carbon brush disclosed in Patent Document 2, the copper content is set in the range of 10 to 80% by weight to ensure the wear resistance of the brush.

しかしながら、このような従来のモータ用ブラシにあっては、カーボンとして例えば人造黒鉛が用いられた場合に、モータ負荷時に要求される回転数まで高めようとすると、銅の含有量を増やす必要があり、銅の含有量を増えることによってその耐摩耗性が十分に得られなくなるという問題点があった。   However, in such a conventional brush for a motor, when, for example, artificial graphite is used as carbon, it is necessary to increase the copper content if the rotation speed required when the motor is loaded is increased. There is a problem that the wear resistance cannot be sufficiently obtained by increasing the copper content.

本発明は上記の問題点に鑑みてなされたものであり、モータ負荷時の回転数の低下を抑えつつ、ブラシの耐摩耗性を十分に確保するモータ用ブラシを提供することを目的とする。   The present invention has been made in view of the above problems, and an object of the present invention is to provide a brush for a motor that sufficiently secures the wear resistance of the brush while suppressing a decrease in the number of rotations when the motor is loaded.

本発明は、車両の操舵系に操舵力を与えるモータに備えられるモータ用ブラシであって、天然黒鉛と銅を含み、銅の含有量を60重量%以上かつ75重量%以下の範囲に設定するものとした。   The present invention is a motor brush provided in a motor that applies a steering force to a steering system of a vehicle, and includes natural graphite and copper, and the copper content is set in a range of 60 wt% to 75 wt%. It was supposed to be.

本発明によると、動作電圧が低い電動パワーステアリング装置において、モータ負荷時に要求される回転数が得られることと、ブラシの耐摩耗性を十分に確保することを両立できる。   According to the present invention, in an electric power steering apparatus with a low operating voltage, it is possible to achieve both obtaining the number of revolutions required when the motor is loaded and sufficiently ensuring the wear resistance of the brush.

以下、本発明の実施の形態を添付図面に基づいて説明する。   Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

図1は、電動パワーステアリング装置に設けられる永久磁石型直流モータの構成を模式的に示している。このモータは、車両の操舵系に操舵力を与えるものである。   FIG. 1 schematically shows a configuration of a permanent magnet type DC motor provided in an electric power steering apparatus. This motor gives a steering force to the steering system of the vehicle.

図1において、1はモータシャフト、2は巻線、3は整流子、4はブラシである。整流子3はモータのモータシャフト1の外周に固定され、正負のブラシ4はバネ(図示せず)の付勢力によって整流子3の外周面に押し付けられる。   In FIG. 1, 1 is a motor shaft, 2 is a winding, 3 is a commutator, and 4 is a brush. The commutator 3 is fixed to the outer periphery of the motor shaft 1 of the motor, and the positive and negative brushes 4 are pressed against the outer peripheral surface of the commutator 3 by a biasing force of a spring (not shown).

モータは、バッテリ(図示せず)からの電気がブラシ4と整流子3の接触部を介して巻線2に供給されることにより、鋼板を積層したステータ(図示せず)に埋め込まれる永久磁石(図示せず)の磁力が回転方向に働いてモータシャフト1が回転駆動される。   The motor is a permanent magnet embedded in a stator (not shown) in which steel plates are laminated when electricity from a battery (not shown) is supplied to the winding 2 via the contact portion between the brush 4 and the commutator 3. A magnetic force (not shown) acts in the rotation direction to drive the motor shaft 1 to rotate.

ブラシ4は、カーボンと銅を主成分とするカーボンブラシが用いられる。   As the brush 4, a carbon brush mainly composed of carbon and copper is used.

そして本発明の要旨とするところであるが、ブラシ4の材料構成は以下のように設定する。
・ブラシ4は、銅(Cu)の含有量を60重量%以上かつ75重量%以下の範囲に設定する。
・ブラシ4は、カーボン(炭素)粉として、天然黒鉛を用いる。
・ブラシ4は、研磨剤として、アルミ(AL)粉を0.2重量%以下の量で含有する。
・ブラシ4は、研磨剤として、酸化ケイ素(SiO)粉を1重量%以下の量で含有する。
And although it is a place which makes it the summary of this invention, the material structure of the brush 4 is set as follows.
-Brush 4 sets content of copper (Cu) in the range of 60 weight% or more and 75 weight% or less.
The brush 4 uses natural graphite as carbon (carbon) powder.
The brush 4 contains aluminum (AL) powder in an amount of 0.2% by weight or less as an abrasive.
The brush 4 contains silicon oxide (SiO) powder in an amount of 1% by weight or less as an abrasive.

図2は、電動パワーステアリング装置の負荷条件に相当する所定の作動条件にてモータを回転作動させ、銅の含有量を変えた複数のブラシ4について時間当たりのブラシ4の摩耗量とモータ回転数(回転速度)をそれぞれ測定した結果を示す特性図である。   FIG. 2 shows the amount of wear of the brush 4 per hour and the number of motor revolutions for a plurality of brushes 4 in which the motor is rotated under predetermined operating conditions corresponding to the load conditions of the electric power steering apparatus and the copper content is changed. It is a characteristic view which shows the result of having measured (rotational speed), respectively.

ブラシ4は、銅の含有量が増加すると、電気抵抗が低下するので、整流子3間に生じる火花が増加するため、銅の含有量が増加するのにしたがってブラシ4の磨耗量が増大するとともに、モータ回転数が上昇する。   When the copper content increases, the electrical resistance of the brush 4 decreases. Therefore, the spark generated between the commutators 3 increases, so that the wear amount of the brush 4 increases as the copper content increases. The motor rotation speed increases.

図2に実線で示すブラシ磨耗特性は、天然黒鉛を用いたブラシ4の摩耗量である。図2に破線で示すブラシ磨耗特性は、人造黒鉛を用いたブラシ4の摩耗量である。天然黒鉛を用いたブラシ4は、人造黒鉛を用いたブラシ4に比べて磨耗量が小さく抑えられるが、銅の含有量を75重量%を超えると、図2に示す摩耗量の許容値を所定量だけ上回る。これに基づいて、天然黒鉛を用いたブラシ4は、銅の含有量を75重量%以下の範囲に設定することにより、十分な耐摩耗性が確保される。   The brush wear characteristic indicated by the solid line in FIG. 2 is the wear amount of the brush 4 using natural graphite. The brush wear characteristic indicated by the broken line in FIG. 2 is the wear amount of the brush 4 using artificial graphite. The brush 4 using natural graphite has a smaller amount of wear than the brush 4 using artificial graphite. However, if the copper content exceeds 75% by weight, the allowable wear amount shown in FIG. It exceeds the fixed amount. On the basis of this, the brush 4 using natural graphite is secured with sufficient wear resistance by setting the copper content in the range of 75% by weight or less.

図2に示すモータ回転数特性は、銅の含有量を60重量%を超えると、図2に示すモータ回転数の仕様値を上回る。これに基づいて、ブラシ4は、銅の含有量を60重量%以上の範囲に設定することにより、十分なモータ回転数が確保される。   The motor rotational speed characteristics shown in FIG. 2 exceed the specification value of the motor rotational speed shown in FIG. 2 when the copper content exceeds 60% by weight. Based on this, the brush 4 ensures a sufficient motor rotation speed by setting the copper content in the range of 60 wt% or more.

図3は、電動パワーステアリング装置の負荷条件に相当する所定の作動条件にてモータを回転作動させ、研磨剤としてアルミ粉の含有量を変えた複数のブラシ4について時間当たりの整流子3の摩耗量を測定した結果を示す特性図である。   FIG. 3 shows the wear of the commutator 3 per hour for a plurality of brushes 4 in which the content of aluminum powder as an abrasive was changed by rotating the motor under predetermined operating conditions corresponding to the load conditions of the electric power steering device It is a characteristic view which shows the result of having measured quantity.

ブラシ4は、アルミ粉の含有量が増加するのに伴って整流子3の摩耗量が増加する。アルミ粉の含有量が0.2重量%を超えると、図3に示す整流子3の摩耗量の許容値を所定量だけ下回る。これに基づいて、ブラシ4は、アルミ粉の含有量を0.2重量%以下の範囲に設定することにより、整流子3の耐摩耗性が十分に確保される。   The brush 4 increases the amount of wear of the commutator 3 as the content of aluminum powder increases. When the content of the aluminum powder exceeds 0.2% by weight, the wear amount of the commutator 3 shown in FIG. Based on this, the wear resistance of the commutator 3 is sufficiently ensured in the brush 4 by setting the content of the aluminum powder in the range of 0.2% by weight or less.

以上のように本実施の形態では、車両の操舵系に操舵力を与えるモータに備えられるモータ用ブラシ4であって、天然黒鉛と銅を主成分とする構成とした。   As described above, in the present embodiment, the motor brush 4 provided in the motor that applies the steering force to the steering system of the vehicle has a configuration mainly composed of natural graphite and copper.

上記構成に基づき、動作電圧が12V程度と低い電動パワーステアリング装置において、モータ用ブラシのカーボン材として天然黒鉛を用いることにより、ブラシ4の耐摩耗性を十分に確保することができる。   Based on the above configuration, in the electric power steering apparatus having an operating voltage as low as about 12 V, the wear resistance of the brush 4 can be sufficiently ensured by using natural graphite as the carbon material of the motor brush.

本実施の形態では、銅の含有量を60重量%以上かつ75重量%以下の範囲に設定する構成とした。   In the present embodiment, the copper content is set in the range of 60 wt% or more and 75 wt% or less.

上記構成に基づき、動作電圧が12V程度と低い電動パワーステアリング装置において、モータ負荷時に要求される回転数が得られることと、ブラシ4の耐摩耗性を十分に確保することを両立する。   Based on the above configuration, in the electric power steering apparatus having an operating voltage as low as about 12 V, it is possible to obtain both the rotational speed required when the motor is loaded and to ensure sufficient wear resistance of the brush 4.

本実施の形態では、研磨剤としてアルミ粉を混入し、このアルミ粉の含有量を0.2重量%以下の範囲に設定する構成とした。   In this Embodiment, it was set as the structure which mixes aluminum powder as an abrasive | polishing agent and sets content of this aluminum powder to the range of 0.2 weight% or less.

上記構成に基づき、整流子3の耐摩耗性を十分に確保する。   Based on the above configuration, the wear resistance of the commutator 3 is sufficiently ensured.
