Description: BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0001] 1. Field of the Invention [0002] The present invention relates to a commutator for a commutator motor used for, for example, a power tool, which can efficiently cool the commutator. 2. Description of the Related Art FIG. 4 shows an example of a conventional commutator. Conventional commutator 1 used in commutator motors for power tools
In general, a molded commutator in which a plurality of commutator pieces 2 are arranged radially at predetermined intervals and integrally formed with a resin portion 3 made of a resin material is generally used. A magnet wire constituting a rotor coil is connected to the riser portion 5 at the end of the commutator piece 2, and the magnet wire and the commutator piece 2 are joined by electric welding. A cut 6 having a constant width is provided between the commutator pieces 2 to maintain electrical insulation. A commutator motor for a power tool operated under a large load condition has a large current flowing through the commutator piece 2 to the rotor coil. The commutator strip 2 generates heat due to Joule heat generated by the electrical resistance of the motor and frictional heat between the brush (not shown) and the commutator surface due to the rotation of the motor. The heat generated by the commutator segment 2 is transmitted to the resin portion 3 holding the commutator segment 2 by a heat transfer effect, and the temperature of the resin portion 3 around the commutator segment 2 is increased to decrease the bonding force of the resin portion 3. Let it. In addition, since the commutator motor for a power tool rotates at a high speed of tens of thousands of revolutions / minute, a decrease in the bonding force of the resin portion 3 causes the commutator pieces 2 to float due to centrifugal force, and a step between the adjacent commutator pieces 2. As a result, the sliding stability of the brush is hindered, which causes problems such as generation of noise and shortening of the life of the brush. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION It is an object of the present invention to reduce the amount of heat transfer from the commutator piece to the resin portion holding the commutator piece by efficiently cooling the commutator piece and to maintain the bonding force of the resin portion. It is to provide a commutator that can do. [0005] The above object is achieved by providing a concave portion extending in the axial direction from one end surface of the commutator piece on the outer peripheral surface of each commutator piece, and providing a heat radiation cooling surface in the concave portion. . A commutator 1 according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG. The present invention is substantially the same as the above-described commutator 1 except for the commutator piece 2 described below, and a description thereof will be omitted. A feature of the present invention is that a recess 4 extending in the axial direction is provided on the outer peripheral surface of the commutator piece 2. The concave portion 4 is provided substantially at the center of the circumferential width of the commutator piece 2 from the opposite end face of the riser portion 5 and is provided by making a cut in the axial direction. This step can be performed at the same time as the conventional machining step, for example, by providing a cutting blade for providing the recess 4 in the step of cutting the groove 6 for maintaining the insulation between the commutator pieces 2. To be manufactured. The size of the concave portion 4 on the surface of the commutator piece 2 in the range of the sliding surface between the brush and the surface of the commutator piece 2 depends on the outer diameter of the commutator 1. The width in the circumferential direction is desirably 1 mm or less in order to prevent the brush from sliding instability due to falling into the recess 4. According to the above-described embodiment, since the concave portion 4 extending in the axial direction is provided on the outer peripheral surface of the commutator piece 2, the surface of the concave portion 4 becomes the heat radiation surface 4a, and the heat radiation area of the outer peripheral surface of the commutator piece 2 increases. As a result, the commutator piece 2 can be efficiently radiated and cooled, the temperature rise of the commutator piece 2 is reduced, and the amount of heat transferred to the resin part 3 holding the commutator piece 2 is reduced. 3 can suppress the temperature rise. Note that the recesses 4 may be formed by a plurality of
It is also possible to provide. Further, the sectional shape of the concave portion 4 is not limited to the square groove 4a as shown in FIG.
A shape like b is also effective for cooling. As described above, according to the present invention, since the concave portion is provided on the outer peripheral surface of the commutator piece, the surface of the concave portion becomes a cooling heat radiating surface, the cooling heat radiating area of the commutator piece increases, and the commutator piece becomes smaller. Cooling can be performed efficiently. For this reason, the amount of heat transfer to the resin part holding the commutator pieces is reduced, the temperature rise of the resin part is suppressed, and the bonding force of the resin part can be maintained. Further, since the concave portion can be formed simultaneously with the cutting step of providing an insulating groove for insulating each commutator, an inexpensive and effective commutator can be provided without increasing the number of processing steps.
