Abstract

The present invention provides a motor comprising: a rotary shaft; a rotor including a hole in which the rotary shaft is disposed; a stator disposed on the outer side of the rotor; and a housing for accommodating the rotor and the stator, and further comprising a rectifier having a hole in which the rotary shaft is disposed, wherein the housing includes a cover plate, the cover plate includes a brush coming into contact with the rectifier, and the front surface of the brush includes a curved part coming into contact with the rectifier, and a cutting part formed to be bent from the curved part such that the cutting part does not come into contact with the rectifier, thereby providing an advantageous effect of inhibiting the worn foreign material of the brush from being generated on a contact portion between the brush and the rectifier during the initial driving of the motor.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. A rotor comprising:
a rotating shaft;
a rotor comprising a hole in which the rotating shaft is disposed;
a stator disposed outside the rotor;
a housing that accommodates the rotor and the stator; and
a commutator comprising a hole in which the rotating shaft is disposed,
wherein the housing comprises a cover plate,
wherein the cover plate comprises a brush that comes into contact with the commutator,
wherein the commutator includes a commutator body, a commutator piece disposed on an outer circumferential surface of the commutator body, and a serration portion arranged on a surface of the commutator piece,
wherein the serration portion includes a plurality of grooves aligned in a direction perpendicular to an axial direction of the rotating shaft,
wherein a height from a bottom end to a top end of the serration portion in an axial direction of the rotating shaft is higher than a height from a bottom surface to a top surface of the brush,
wherein a front surface of the brush comprises a curved portion, which comes into contact with the serration portion of the commutator, and cutting portions that are formed by being bent at the curved portion and do not come into contact with the commutator,
wherein a plurality of protruding portions is formed on the front surface of the brush, the protruding portions being located in the grooves of the serration portion,
wherein a boundary between the top surface of the brush and the front surface of the brush is formed as an inclined surface having a shape of a cutting edge,
wherein a boundary between the bottom surface of the brush and the front surface of the brush is formed as the inclined surface having a shape of a cutting edge, an abrasion of the front surface of the brush coming into contact with the serration portion,
wherein the curved portion is disposed at a center of the brush, and the cutting portions are disposed on both sides of the curved portion, the curved portion and the cutting portions being disposed in a width direction of the brush,
wherein the cutting portions are formed to be flat surfaces, and
wherein a curvature radius of the curved portion is equal to a curvature radius of the commutator,
wherein the cutting portions are symmetrically disposed with respect to a first reference line that passes a center of the commutator and a center of the curved portion,
wherein the cutting portions are disposed opposite to the commutator on a reference circle formed along an outer circumferential surface of the commutator and a second reference line that is a tangent at an intersection point between corners that are boundaries between the curved portion and the cutting portions, and
wherein the curved portion comes into contact with the serration portion of the commutator and the cutting portions do not contact with the commutator.
