Provided is a vehicle motor in which the resonance between a brush holder and a support portion is reduced by incorporating the rubber damper into a housing, and brush noise is prevented to improve the reliability of the motor. It is in.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art FIG. 5 is a sectional view of a general vehicle motor. An armature 2 is mounted on a housing 1 in which a permanent magnet 10 is fixed inside. This armature 2
Are supported by a sintered bearing unit consisting of sintered bearings 5a and 5b, and are configured to induce a current by a commutator 4 connected to the shaft S and the brush 3 and rotating together. The shaft S includes a stopper 310, preferably made of nylon or the like, a rubber washer 320, a slip washer 330, and a holder plate 340 for supporting the sintered bearing 5b, thereby absorbing shock and vibration and preventing oil from being scattered. doing.

[0003] The conventional vehicle motor configured as described above has the following problems. First, the operation of adjusting the thrust gap of the motor involves adjusting the thrust gap after assembling the armature 2 and the end shield 6 with the housing 1, and when the thrust gap is not accurately adjusted, a plurality of gap adjustments are required. Washers 350 must be added or removed. Since the number of steps for adding or removing the washer increases as described above, there is a problem that the number of steps for assembling increases as a whole. In addition, since the adjustment of the motor's thrust gap is performed using a plurality of separately prepared gap adjusting washers 350, not only the gap is not constant, but also the use of such washers may cause washer noise. is there.

Secondly, the brush holder stay 31 for fixing the brush holder 30 is integrally fixed to the end shield 6 through a press-fitting operation. There is a problem transmitted to the shield 6.

Third, a structure for assembling a large number of parts together, such as a stopper 310, a rubber washer 320, a slip washer 330, and a damper for absorbing an impact, on a sliding portion of the armature shaft S and the sintered bearing unit 5b. It is complicated and hinders automation of the assembly process. In addition, since the stopper 310 such as nylon attached to the shaft S does not rotate the same as the shaft S, friction occurs, and the friction increases a thrust gap, which causes noise when the motor is driven.

Fourth, since one side of the brush holder 30 to which the brush 3 is fixed is open, a fixed size cannot be maintained after the brush holder 30 is mounted on the brush holder stay 31. Furthermore, since the gap between the brush 3 and the brush holder 30 is not constant, there is a problem that brush noise is induced.

Fifth, since the flange 7 for fixing the motor is only held by the end cover after being inserted and press-fitted on the outer peripheral surface of the housing 1, the flange 7 is attached to the end shield so that the motor and the flange 7 are not separated. There is a trouble in that additional bolts are fastened to fix the flange. When the flange 7 is inserted and press-fitted into the outer peripheral surface of the housing 1 and assembled, the outer peripheral surface of the housing 1 is assembled while scratching the inside of the flange 7, so that dust is generated and falls into the motor. There was a problem.

[0008]

[0008] The present invention is to solve the conventional problems such as described above, a pair of friction washers for supporting the sintered bearings in the motor armature shaft is mounted, the pair of friction washer By being configured to be fixed to the insulating disk and rotate together, only one side of each of the pair of friction washers slides with the sintered bearing so that the slip when driving the motor is performed. The phenomenon was prevented. Further, in the present invention, a rubber damper is attached to the brush holder stay so that noise of the brush generated by driving the motor is not transmitted directly to the housing and the end shield side.

In the present invention, the brush holder is formed in a box shape to stabilize the shape so that the noise of the brush can be reduced. The noise of the brush generated from the brush holder stay is reduced by the housing and the brush. It is configured to prevent transmission to a support member such as an end shield. Further, the flange can be fixed without bolting both sides of the housing to improve productivity.

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS As shown in FIG. 1, an armature 2 is mounted on a housing 1 in which a permanent magnet is fixed inside.
Brush 3 sliding with commutator 4 of armature shaft S
A pair of friction washers 8a and 8b are mounted on the armature shaft S so as to absorb vibrations of the sintered bearings 5a and 5b mounted to support the armature shaft S. The friction washer 8 shown in FIG.
a and 8b are made of rubber or plastic material.

One side surface of the friction washers 8a, 8b is configured to surround the sintered bearings 5a, 5b, and is the same as a conventional holder plate for preventing oil from scattering on the sintered bearings 5a, 5b. A pair of protrusions 80, 80 are formed on the opposite surfaces, and the protrusions 8 are formed on the resin insulating disk 22 and the commutator 4 fitted into the armature 2.
0 and 80 are fitted. Grooves are formed in the insulating disc 22 and the commutator 4 to receive the projections 80, 80 of the friction washers 8a, 8b, and the projections 80 of the friction washers 8a, 8b are fitted into the grooves. The armature shaft S and the friction washers 8a, 8b
Are driven to rotate together.

Therefore, the friction washer 8
a and 8b are fixed to the insulating disk 22 and the commutator 4, and even if the armature shaft rotates, the friction washers 8a and 8b do not slide on both surfaces, and the sintered bearings 5a and 5b do not slide.
Since only the side surface is slid, abnormal friction due to the slip phenomenon can be reduced. Therefore, parts such as rubber washers and holder plates for absorbing the vibration of the motor and preventing the oil from scattering from the sintered bearings 5a and 5b as in the related art become unnecessary, simplifying the assembling process and reducing the manufacturing cost. Is reduced.
Therefore, an automatic line can be applied, and productivity is improved. Further, the present invention has a configuration in which the thrust gap is adjusted as follows by the friction washers 8a and 8b attached to the armature shaft S.

To adjust the thrust gap, first, an armature assembly having the brush 3 and the commutator 4 mounted on one end of the armature shaft S is mounted inside the housing 1 to which the permanent magnet is fixed. Next, one surface of the friction washers 8a and 8b mounted on the armature shaft S by pressing the armature assembly is attached to the end shield 6 and the housing 1 respectively.
And until it comes into contact with the sintered bearings 5a and 5b mounted on the bearing.

When the friction washer 8a comes into contact with the sintered bearing 5a and cannot move any further, the armature assembly is slightly pulled in the opposite direction. Similarly, the friction washer 8 b is
b) and when it can no longer move, pull the armature assembly slightly in the opposite direction. By slightly pulling the armature assembly in the opposite direction, the friction washer 8a and the sintered bearing 5a that are in contact with each other are slightly separated. By the same operation, the friction washer 8a and the sintered bearing 5b are slightly separated from each other. At this time, the separation distance is measured, and when a predetermined thrust gap is obtained, the housing 1 and the end shield 6 are pressed together so that the end shield 6 does not move.
And fix them together by work.

As described above, the operation of adjusting the thrust gap is performed at the time of assembling the motor, so that a gap adjusting washer is separately added or removed for adjusting the motor gap as in the conventional assembly. The complexity and inconvenience of adjusting the gap have been eliminated. Since there is no need to prepare a separate washer for adjusting the thrust gap as in the prior art, the number of parts is reduced, the cost is reduced, and the problems of washer noise are eliminated.

Furthermore, the brush holder 30 is formed in a box shape, so that the size can be stabilized and the noise of the brush can be reduced. A brush holder stay 31 to which the brush holder 30 is mounted and fixed is separated from the end shield 6, and the brush holder stay 31 is mounted on the housing 1 while being supported by the rubber damper 9. To prevent transmission. As shown in FIG. 3, the rubber damper 9 is provided with an assembling portion 91 for fixing the brush holder stay 31 and a fixing portion 92 for partially abutting on the inner surface of the housing 1 so that the brush holder stay 31 can be floated on the housing 1. Is provided. As described above, according to the present invention, the brush holder stay 31 is not directly fixed to the housing 1 but is mounted on the housing 1 while being supported by the rubber damper 9, so that the noise of the brush generated when the motor is driven can be reduced by the rubber holder 9. There is an advantage that the transmission to the stay 31 is blocked and the transmission to the housing 1 and the end shield 6 is not performed.

FIG. 4 is a sectional view for explaining an engagement state of the flange according to the present invention. As shown in FIG. 4, the flange forms fixing portions 71 and 71a for fixing both ends of the housing 1 so that the motor is mounted and fixed on the vehicle, and a flange cover 70 (not shown) is attached thereto. The flange 7 is attached to the housing 1 so that the flange 7 is externally fitted and pressed into the housing 1. The fixing portions 71 and 71a formed on the flange 7 include a bent portion 71a in which an end of a main body of the flange 7 that is a hollow body is bent inward and a check protrusion 71. The outer peripheral surface is provided with an assembly portion 76 fixed to the vehicle body, and the flange cover 7
At the other end where 0 is assembled, a protrusion 73 and a terminal drawing portion 77 from which the terminal T is drawn out are formed, and the concave portion 74 of the cover 70 is configured to engage with the protrusion 73 to cover the end shield 6. ing. (See FIG. 1.) The flange 7 thus configured
Are gradually assembled while being press-fitted into the housing 1 from the outside toward the side to which the flange cover 70 is to be assembled, while the fixing portion formed on the opposite side of the flange 7 assembled to the housing 1 Reference numeral 71 abuts against the stepped jaw 15 of the housing 1, while the terminal end of the housing 1 on the side of the housing cover 70 is a fixing portion 72 having a check protrusion shape.
, Both the front and rear ends of the housing 1 are fixed. When the cover 70 is assembled to the flange 7 attached to the housing 1 in this manner, the cover 70 sandwiches and fixes the end shield 6 from both sides, so that the flange 7 can be separated and separated from the motor. Absent.

[0021]

Therefore, in order to prevent the flange from being detached as in the prior art, a bolt is separately prepared, and the trouble of fastening the flange with the bolt is eliminated, and the flange is inserted in the direction in which the flange cover is assembled. There is an advantage that the housing does not damage the inner surface of the flange during assembly. As described above, the present invention has the advantages that the structure of the vehicle motor is simplified, the assembling and workability are greatly improved, and the cost can be reduced by eliminating unnecessary parts.

Further, a friction washer for preventing scattering of oil is interposed in the sliding portion of the shaft so that only one surface of the sintered bearing portion slides when the motor is driven, so that the thrust gap is constant. Further, by interposing a rubber damper in the brush holder stay, there is an advantage that the resonance of the support portion is reduced and that the brush noise is prevented from being transmitted to the support portion. Simultaneous assembly of the motor and adjustment of the thrust gap simplifies the process.
