DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION (Field of Industrial Application) The present invention relates to a brush for a motor. More specifically, the present invention relates to a new brush for flat motors.

(Prior Art) Conventionally, as shown in FIG. 1, a flat motor 1 is disposed opposite to a permanent magnet 3 provided in a housing 2 with a slight gap 4, and is rotatably attached to the housing 2. It includes a supported flat disk-shaped armature 5, and a brush 7 having a flat end surface 6 elastically protruding from a plate surface 5a of the armature 5 to supply power. This brush 7 is fitted into a brush locker 9 fixed in the housing 2, and is constantly pressed by a spring 8 toward the plate surface 5a of the armature 5.

However, in a flat motor in which the brush 7 slides on the plate surface 5a of the armature 5, there is a limit to the rigidity of the armature 5, so the mechanical frictional resistance between the armature 5 and the brush 7 and the sliding part of the armature are limited. The structure is such that the brush and armature vibrate due to the flatness, and the vibration resonates with the motor components, which tends to cause noise radiation from the housing 2.

The brushes currently generally used in flat motors can be roughly divided into (A) natural graphite brushes, (B) electrographite brushes, and (C) metal graphite brushes.

However, among the brushes, natural graphite brushes and electrographite brushes have a low contact resistance, but have a drawback that their specific resistance is large, resulting in a large contact voltage drop and an inability to obtain a large current density. On the other hand, metal graphite brushes are made by solidifying and molding carbon powder or graphite powder, conductive metal powder such as copper, and lubricating metal powder such as lead, and then cutting it into a predetermined shape and size. This lowered the specific resistance of the brush to some extent and increased the current density.

(Problems to be Solved by the Invention) However, since this metal-graphite brush is made by forming and firing the above-mentioned powder material, microscopically it has a specific resistance as shown in Figure 2. Since it is a loose body in which various powders such as a graphite powder a with a large resistance, a conductive metal powder b with a small resistivity, and a lubricating metal powder c are arranged irregularly and independently, each component, e.g. Since there is no continuity in the metallic powder b, it is difficult to lower the specific resistance of the brush. Therefore, in order to lower the resistivity, it is necessary to increase the content of conductive metal such as copper.

However, increasing the content of conductive metal increases contact resistance and mechanical frictional resistance, which induces vibrations in the armature and brushes.
The drawback was that the radiated noise of the motor increased.

The present invention was made in order to eliminate the various drawbacks of the conventional brushes as described above, and by lowering the contact resistance, frictional resistance, and specific resistance of the brush, it is possible to increase the current density while increasing the contact voltage. The object of the present invention is to provide an ideal motor brush that has low falling and frictional resistance and is free from the risk of inducing brush vibration.

(Means for Solving the Problems) In order to achieve the above object, the present invention is characterized in that a conductor made of a foamed metal having continuous pores is integrally formed with carbon powder or graphite powder, and then fired. It is something to do.

(Function) In the motor brush configured in this way, a conductor made of foamed metal with continuous pores is uniformly present throughout the interior, and carbon powder or graphite powder is also uniformly present throughout the interior. Since it exists, both the specific resistance of the brush and the contact resistance are reduced, and it is possible to increase the current density and reduce the contact resistance. Furthermore, since the frictional resistance is reduced, vibrations of the armature and brush can be suppressed.

Similarly, an open pore conductor having a lubricating metal coating 15 as shown in FIG. 5 may be used.

(Effects of the Invention) As described above, the motor brush according to the present invention is formed by integrally forming a continuous pore conductor with carbon powder or graphite powder and firing it, so that the conductor is inside the brush. It exists continuously and uniformly over the entire area. Therefore, when using such brushes, the commutator will always be in contact with this open-pore conductor, so that even though the resistivity of the brush is reduced, the content of the conductive metal powder is particularly limited. There is no need to increase the friction coefficient between the commutator and the brush, so the coefficient of friction between the commutator and the brush does not increase at all. Furthermore, if a film of a conductive metal with low resistivity such as silver, gold, platinum, palladium, tin, etc. is formed on the surface of the continuous pore conductor, the resistivity of the brush can be further reduced.
Furthermore, if a coating of a lubricating metal such as lead is formed on the surface of the continuous pore conductor, the frictional resistance between the commutator and the brush can be further reduced.
