Definitions

  • the invention relates to a slipring module bearing sliding tracks of a slipring. Sliprings are used for transferring electrical signals and power between rotating parts.
  • EP 1 320 155 A2 A slipring module held by cylindrical metal tube is disclosed in EP 1 320 155 A2 .
  • This assembly is comparatively stiff and solid. The disadvantage is a high weight and the expensive and complex manufacturing process.
  • US 9,742,135 B2 discloses a slipring having sliding tracks mounted to a structured shaft. This is also complex and expensive.
  • EP 1482 604 A2 discloses a method of gluing multiple contact rings together with a flange. The flange is used as a chuck in a lathe and as mechanical reference. This method is also complex and expensive.
  • WO 90/05395 discloses a slip ring assembly relating to the preamble of claims 1 and 2.
  • the body has a circular cylindrical shape around a center axis and comprises an electrically insulating material.
  • the body may have structural or structure enhancing metal components. It is preferred, if the body comprises insulating material only.
  • the insulating material may be any suitable monomer or preferably polymer, for example epoxy or polyurethane.
  • the insulating material may also comprise a preferably non-conductive filler, for example ceramic, aluminum oxide or others.
  • the modules might also be strengthened by glass fiber mats or metal wire meshes incorporated into the insulating material.
  • the modules may be hollow bodies with free inner bores.
  • the slip-ring module For mounting the slipring module into a slipring device, at least one slip-ring holder is provided. Preferably, there are two slipring holders. The slip-ring holders are attached to one or both ends of the slipring module like end caps.
  • the slip-ring module has a groove at least at one end, preferably at both ends.
  • the groove preferably is at the outside of the cylinder - shaped body, but it may also be at the inner side.
  • the groove may have a distance from the end in a range of 2mm and 20mm, preferably between 3mm and 10mm, most preferably between 5mm and 8mm.
  • the groove may have a depth in a range of 1mm to 10mm, preferably between 2mm and 6mm, most preferably between 3mm and 5mm.
  • the at least one holder preferably comprises a plastic material, preferably made from thermosets or thermoplastics. Preferably, it is an injection molded part or a 3D printed part. Alternatively, it may be made of any metal or any other material as long as it provides enough flexibility to the fingers to snap into a groove of the module.
  • the at least one holder has a round outer shape. It may have a free inner bore. This inner bore may be used to guide wires to the module or to insert another rotary joint like another slipring, a RF joint, an optical joint or a media joint.
  • the at least one holder has a bearing seat for a ball bearing. Such a ball bearing may provide a rotatable support within a housing.
  • the at least one sealing ring preferably comprises an elastic material like a polymer or rubber.
  • the at least one sealing ring may be compressed by the holding force generated by the fingers.
  • the at least one sealing ring generates friction between the module and the holder, such that there is no movement and specifically no rotational movement between the at least one holder and the module. This increases mechanical stability.
  • the sealing ring could also be realized by 3D printing a ring shaped or wavy structure into the groove of the module or onto the modules front side.
  • a slipring assembly comprising a module assembly which further comprises a slipring module and at least one, preferably two holders.
  • the assembly may further comprise a stationary part holding a first holder by a first bearing and a rotating part holding a second holder by a second bearing.
  • the slipring holders may be coded by different pilot diameters lathed into the front side to prevent a wrong combination of slipring holder and module or a wrong orientation of the module.
  • the interface between slipring module and slipring holder may have integrated teeth oriented axially or radially to transfer torque or to code different modules (e.g. for data, signal or power transmission) and ensure their correct orientation during assembly.
  • FIG 2 a sectional view of a slip-ring assembly 200 is shown.
  • the slip-ring assembly 200 comprises a stationary part 210 and a rotating part 220 forming a housing for the slip-ring module assembly 100 and holding the slip-ring module assembly 100.
  • the slip-ring module assembly 100 comprises at least a slip-ring module body 105 and a plurality of sliding tracks 120.
  • the slip-ring module assembly 100 preferably is cylindrical and rotational symmetrical about an axis of rotation 101. There may be minor deviations like the sliding track contact pins 122.
  • figure 3 a detail of figure 2 is shown. Here, the section comprising a finger 181 at the second holder 170 is shown enlarged.
  • a modified finger 181 is shown.
  • the protrusion 192 has an undercut which may interface with a protrusion in groove 182 and which may lock the finger 181 within the module 105.
  • Figure 8 shows a double slipring module assembly.
  • two modules 105, 315 are connected together by a double holder 320.
  • the double holder has fingers 181 on two axially opposing sides and around a common rotation axis.
  • here may be holders 160, 170 (not shown) at the ends of the modules.
