Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A carbon brush for a fuel pump includes a brush body and a lead wire connected to the brush body, and the brush body has carbon and polyether ether ketone as main components. Abnormal wear does not occur even if a fuel pump motor is operated at a high voltage.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A carbon brush for a fuel pump comprising a brush body and a lead wire connected to the brush body, the brush body having natural graphite and polyether ether ketone as main components, wherein the polyether ether ketone in the brush body has a contained amount in a range of 5 wt % to 30 wt % inclusive. 2. The carbon brush for a fuel pump according to claim 1 , wherein the polyether ether ketone has an average particle diameter of 15 to 35 μm. 3. The carbon brush for a fuel pump according to claim 1 , the brush body consisting essentially of natural graphite and polyether ether ketone. 4. A liquid fuel pump motor comprising the carbon brush of claim 1 . 5. The liquid fuel pump motor of claim 4 , wherein the brush body consists essentially of natural graphite and polyether ether ketone. 6. The liquid fuel pump motor of claim 4 , wherein the carbon brush is configured to slide along a carbon commutator of the liquid fuel pump motor. 7. A method for manufacturing a carbon brush for a fuel pump comprising a brush body and a lead wire connected to the brush body, comprising: a step for manufacturing the brush body by compression molding a powder mixture having natural graphite and polyether ether ketone as main components, and performing firing at a temperature in a range of 334° C. to 500° C. inclusive, wherein the polyether ether ketone in the brush body has a contained amount in a range of 5 wt % to 30 wt % inclusive. 8. The method for manufacturing a carbon brush for a fuel pump according to claim 7 , wherein the powder mixture including natural graphite and polyether ether ketone having an average particle diameter of 15 to 35 μm is compression molded. 9. The method for manufacturing a carbon brush for a fuel pump according to claim 7 , the powder mixture consisting essentially of natural graphite and polyether ether ketone.
