Abstract

An electric brush assembly, a conduction device and an inner-rotor electric motor. The electric brush assembly comprises: a support body and at least two electric brush members spaced apart from each other in an axial direction, wherein each electric brush member comprises an elastic piece and a carbon brush, each elastic piece comprising a fixed end fixedly connected to the support body and a free end opposite the fixed end, each carbon brush being fixed to the free end of the corresponding elastic piece and having a contact face configured to be in sliding contact with a sliding ring, and the outward orientations of the contact faces that face away from the carbon brushes providing clearance for and bypassing the support body and all elastic pieces. By means of pushing each carbon brush at the free end of one elastic piece, the sliding ring can continue to move in a predetermined mounting direction until the sliding ring reaches a predetermined position relative to the support body. Since the electric brush assembly of the present application cannot form a closed inner peripheral area, an operation of pushing each elastic piece to the periphery by means of a special tool is omitted, thereby facilitating the simplification of an assembly process for the inner-rotor electric motor, and also facilitating an improvement in the assembly efficiency of the inner-rotor electric motor.

Abstract

The invention concerns a centrifugal positive blocking brake for shutter drives. The brake includes centrifugal blocks, central spring element, and a drive motor comprising a drive shaft. A turntable is coupled with the drive shaft. The central spring element having a preloaded spring is centrifugally guided in a recess of the turntable. Either side of the spring is connected with a radially movable engaging tab element. Two different radially acting abutments are disposed on the central spring element and are movable towards recess. The engaging tab element has at least one engaging tab pointing radially inwards. The centrifugal block is attached to the engaging tab element. In the de-energized state of the drive motor, the engaging tab elements together with the centrifugal blocks disposed on them engage into detents of a frame-fixed detent disc with at least one engaging tab in a frictionally and positively locking manner. When voltage is applied and the drive motor starts, the engaging tabs disengage, the individual centres of mass of the central spring element, preloaded spring, the engaging tab element, the engaging tab, and two centrifugal block parts are on one symmetry axis. This invention creates a centrifugal positive blocking brake which is small in size and constructively simple and causes locking of the shutter when de-energized.

Abstract

An outer rotor motor includes a stator, a rotor rotatably disposed outside the stator, a mounting seat, a rotation shaft driven by the rotor, and two bearing mounted to the mounting seat to rotatably support the rotation shaft. The stator includes a stator core and a stator winding wound around the stator core. The mounting seat includes an upper bracket seated on one of opposite axial ends of the rotor, a lower bracket seated on the other axial end of the rotor, a connecting member connected between the upper bracket and the lower bracket, and a cylindrical mounting post fixed to the upper bracket. The cylindrical mounting post extends through and is fixed in the stator core. The rotation shaft is rotatably received in the mounting post. The two bearings are avoided overlapping the stator core in the axial direction.

Abstract

A motor-driven fan device includes a motor, a processor, a storage with a lookup table stored therein, and a speed detection unit. The processor queries the lookup table or calculates to acquire the target driving voltage and a corresponding target rotating speed of the motor. When the rotating speed difference is not within the range of the preset rotating speed difference, the processor repeatedly adds a gain value to the target driving voltage to acquire a new target driving voltage, acquires the actual rotating speed and the target rotating speed, and determines whether the rotating speed difference is within the range of the preset rotating speed difference. The processor maintains the operation of the motor at the target rotating speed at that point by using the constant speed control method when the absolute value of rotating speed difference is within the range of the preset rotating speed difference.

Abstract

A flow control valve includes a valve body having an bore and a plurality of fluid ports in communication with the bore. A valve spool is axially slidably disposed in the valve body, and an end portion of an end of the valve spool has a convex curved surface. A linear actuator is disposed at one end of the valve body and includes an armature slidable along an axial direction of the valve spool. The armature includes a head portion having a convex curved surface configured to abut against the end portion of the valve spool. The engagement structure between the valve spool and the armature of the flow control valve is improved, which enables the valve spool and the armature to be automatically aligned. This reduces the precision requirement of contact between the valve spool and armature, which facilitates mass production and reduces cost of the valves.

Abstract

A brush used to contact with a commutator, includes a brush body which includes two opposite axial end faces and a protruding portion projecting from the brush body toward the commutator. The protruding portion includes a first surface, a second surface and at least two teeth. The first surface and the second surface are respectively adjacent to the two axial end faces. Angles formed between the first surface and the second surface and corresponding adjacent axial end faces are obtuse. The teeth is located between the first surface and the second surface, and extends generally along a circumferential direction of the commutator. The ratio of a total width of the at least two teeth in an axial direction of the brush to an axial height of the brush body is in the range of 0.25-0.75. An electric motor including the brush is also provided.
