Abstract

The present disclosure relates to a method and system for manufacturing a motor in which noise and current ripple caused by mechanical friction between a brush and a commutator have been reduced. In detail, a motor manufacturing method of the present disclosure comprises the steps of: assembling a shaft, an armature fixed on the shaft to be rotatably arranged, a commutator fixed on the shaft to rotate together with the armature, and a brush contacting a portion of the surface of the commutator; applying a voltage to the brush and rotating the armature and the commutator together through the rotation of the shaft to age the surface of the commutator; and, in a magnetizing device, connecting a case including a magnetized magnet to the assembled shaft, armature, commutator, and brush.

Claims (15)

1. A motor manufacturing method comprising:

assembling a shaft, an armature fixed to the shaft and rotatably disposed, a commutator fixed to the shaft and rotating together with the armature, and a brush in contact with a portion of a surface of the commutator;

in a state that a magnetized magnet is not connected, aging a contact surface of the brush and the commutator by applying a voltage to the brush and rotating the armature and the commutator together through rotation of the shaft; and

connecting a case including the magnetized magnet magnetized in a magnetizing device to the assembled shaft, armature, commutator and brush,

wherein rotating the armature and the commutator together through rotation of the shaft comprises rotating the shaft in a first direction during a first time period and rotating in a second direction opposite to the first direction during a second time period, and

wherein the first time period and the second time period are set to different time ranges.

2. The motor manufacturing method of claim 1 , wherein aging a contact surface of the brush and the commutator by applying a voltage to the brush and rotating the armature and the commutator together through rotation of the shaft comprises forming a carbon layer on the surface of the commutator by applying a current to the commutator by the voltage applied to the brush.

3. The motor manufacturing method of claim 2 , wherein the voltage applied to the brush is set to a voltage equal to or higher than a voltage at which exothermic dissolution starts by applying the current to the commutator by the voltage applied to the brush.

4. A motor manufacturing method comprising:

assembling a shaft, a commutator fixed to the shaft and rotatably disposed, and a brush in contact with a portion of a surface of the commutator;

in a state that a magnetized magnet is not connected, aging a contact surface of the brush and the commutator by applying a voltage to the brush and rotating the commutator together through rotation of the shaft; and

connecting a case, which includes an armature and the magnetized magnet magnetized in a magnetizing device, to the assembled shaft, the commutator and the brush,

wherein rotating the commutator together through rotation of the shaft comprises rotating the shaft in a first direction during a first time period and rotating in a second direction opposite to the first direction during a second time period, and

wherein the first time period and the second time period are set to different time ranges.

5. The motor manufacturing method of claim 4 , wherein aging a contact surface of the brush and the commutator by applying a voltage to the brush and rotating the commutator together through rotation of the shaft comprises forming a carbon layer on the surface of the commutator by applying a current to the commutator by the voltage applied to the brush.
