The Study On Wear Characteristics Of Beam Brush And Slip-ring

A beam type brush conductive slip ring means beam type brush has a sliding contact with a conductive ring for transmitting signals and current.It has good stability,high precision,low contact wear rate,low dynamic contact resistance and long life.It is necessary to study the mechanical contact properties of the beam brush and the conductive ring,the law of dynamic sliding wear and the electrical contact characteristics of the brush and the conductive ring.It is very important for the prediction for the life of the beam brush conductive slip ring and the further extension of the the beam brush conductive slip ring's life.Firstly,the static contact mechanical characteristics of the single wire brush conductive slip ring are studied in this paper.The relationship among the deformation proximity,the maximum contact stress and the load of the single wire brush and the conductive slip ring is derived by the Hertz formula,and the finite element software ABAQUS is used to create the contact model of the single wire brush and conductive slip ring.The finite element solution is obtained to verify the correctness of the theoretical model of single wire brush conductive slip ring.On the basis of the study of the single wire brush conductive slip ring,the finite element model of the beam type conductive slip ring is created and the quasi-static analysis is carried out.Finally,the load distribution coefficient is drawn out to reveal the contact mechanical characteristics of the beam type brush conductive slip ring.Different type of wear mechanisms are classified,which are mainly divided into adhesive wear,abrasive wear,fatigue wear and corrosion wear.The factors affecting the wear process and their wear laws are described.Based on the mechanism of adhesive wear,the sliding wear model of the single wire brush and the conductive slip ring is created.After that,the sliding wear model of the beam type conductive slip ring is further established,and the formula of relationship between the wear extent,the wear thickness of the beam type brush conductive slip ring and the time is derived.The electric contact theory is expounded from contact resistance,heat conduction theory and heating of contact spots by current.Based on the electrical contact theory,the electrical contact model of the conductive slip ring is created,the electric potential boundary condition is applied,the distribution law of the temperature field and the current density of the contact pair of the conductive slip ring and the cloud chart are obtained.The wear test of electrical contact characteristic is carried out on the electric brush conducting slip ring wear test platform.The contact resistance and friction coefficient of the beam type brush conducting slip ring are studied.The micro morphology of the brush and the conductive ring after the test and the composition of the adhesive layer on the surface of the brush wire on the actual working condition are analyzed,and the main wear mechanism of wear of beam type conductive slip ring is obtained.It is of great guiding significance to the design,application and life prediction of the beam type brush conductive ring in practical engineering.
