An abrasion removal system and method for removing abrasion from a brush of an electric machine, with a housing arranged around the space of the brush, a supply to blow a gaseous medium into the housing, and a suction system for intake of the abrasions out of the housing.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
1 . An abrasion removal system for removing abrasion from a brush of an electric machine, comprising in a housing arranged around the space of the brush, a supply to blow a gaseous medium into the housing, and a suction system for intake of the abrasions out of the housing. 2 . The abrasion removal system according to claim 1 , wherein the supply comprises a compressor for blowing air into the housing. 3 . The abrasion removal system according to claim 1 , wherein the supply comprises two supply tubes arranged at the housing with each a passage to the housing for blowing the gaseous medium into the housing through the supply tubes. 4 . The abrasion removal system according to claim 1 , wherein the suction system comprises a ventilator. 5 . The abrasion removal system according to claim 1 , wherein the suction system comprises an outlet tube arranged at the housing with a passage to the housing for intaking the abrasion through the outlet tube. 6 . The abrasion removal system according to claim 1 , wherein the housing encloses the brush completely with an opening in the housing serving as an inlet for the brush at one side and in that the housing has a cavity at the other side that is aligned to a rotor part to abut the brush. 7 . Abrasion removal method for removing abrasion from a brush of an electric machine with the steps of blowing a compressed gaseous medium into a housing surrounding the brush, and intaking the abrasion out of the inside of the housing.
