[0069] An example of the manufacturing method of the commutator 5 of the first embodiment and the brush 4 of the second embodiment will be described below.

[0070] The manufacturing steps of the commutator sheet 6 and the brush 4 with two resistance layers 41, 42, 61, 62 are as follows:

[0071] First, as a method for producing a high-resistance material, carbon powder such as graphite (for example, 20 wt% of natural graphite powder with an average particle diameter of 30 μm) and inorganic powder such as boron nitride (such as 75 wt% of hexagonal boron nitride powder, The average particle size thereof is 10 μm) mixed with each other. Then, novolac resin (eg, weight ratio: 15) is added as a binder into the mixed powder (weight ratio: 100), wherein the novolac resin is dissolved in methanol solution (eg, weight ratio: 30). In addition, the mixing is performed with a mixer, and thus a mixed material is produced.

[0072] After that, the mixed material was dried in a drier to e...

Abstract

In a commutator (5) of a rotating electrical machine (1), each commutator segment (6) has a low resistance layer (61) made of a low resistance material and a high resistance layer (62) made of a high resistance material , wherein the resistivity of the high resistance material is higher than the resistivity of the low resistance material. The low resistance material contains a carbon material and a binder. The high resistance material contains a carbon material, a binder, and an inorganic substance such as boron nitride. The mixing ratio of the inorganic substance in the high resistance material is greater than 20wt%. Alternatively, the brushes (4) in contact with the commutator segments (6) may have a high resistance layer (42) and a low resistance layer (41).

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a brush, a commutator and a rectifying device for use in rotating electric machines such as electric motors and generators. Background technique [0002] Generally, in an electrical machine such as a DC motor, a pair of brushes is provided on a stator and a commutator is provided on a rotor. In the rotor, multiple armature windings are respectively connected to multiple commutator laminations of the commutator. The pair of brushes in turn press against the commutator plates to supply current to the armature windings, thereby driving the rotor to rotate. [0003] However, the brushes and the commutator segments are in intermittent and repeated contact with each other. Consequently, the contact surfaces between the brushes and the commutator laminations may be subject to electrical wear due to intermittent conduction, and additionally to mechanical wear due to pressure contact. This electrical wear is caused by an elec...
