An electric machine, to a motor vehicle with such an electric machine, and to a method for operating such an electric machine. The electric machine includes at least one sliding contact which is formed by a slip ring connected to a rotor and by at least one brush and via which an operating current flows during an operation of the electric machine. A control unit is configured to control the operation of the electric machine. The control unit is configured to verify a predetermined operating criterion of the electric machine and, if said operating criterion is met, to inject a cleaning current according to a predetermined scheme, which then flows independently of the operating current via the sliding contact and cleans said sliding contact in order to maintain or improve a current transfer capability of the sliding contact.

An integrated switch is provided in the present application, comprising: a housing; a first circuit board, arranged in the housing; a movable stand, movably connected in the housing; a contact component; a second circuit board, arranged in the housing and connected with an inner wall thereof, and electrically connected with the first circuit board; an electric brush, arranged between the movable stand and the second circuit board, having one end connected with the movable stand and the other end slidably connected with the second circuit board, driven by the movable stand, the electric brush has a connection state after sliding to a first position of the second circuit board, and a disconnection state after sliding to a second position of the second circuit board, and the moving contact shifts from a power-on state to a power-off state after the electric brush slides to the disconnection state.

The present invention relates to a switch device for ignition systems and, more particularly, for use in cooking equipment or heating systems in general, such as to obtain the electrical contact necessary to generate the spark for activating the burner. More preferably, the present invention includes innovative functional and technical aspects capable of promoting the electrical contact necessary to activate the burner, but principally to increase the levels of safety in relation to movement of the controls of cooking equipment/heating equipment, principally in connection with the return movement of said control. Therefore, the present switch device comprises a casing formed by a lower structural body and another, upper structural body, which engage with one another in such a manner as to accommodate, within, flexible contact blades and a rotary core, the structural bodies having contact surfaces provided with at least one projecting portion; furthermore, an axially moveable commutator ring is engaged on said rotary core.

The invention discloses an armature circuit in an electric tool and a power socket of the electric tool using the armature circuit, comprising a power supply and a motor. Two electrodes of the power supply are each provided with a connection structure connected to an output part. One connection structure is a multi-contact on/off controllable movable contact structure, and the other one is a double-faced multi-contact structure. According to the armature circuit, the internal resistance of the armature circuit of the motor is greatly reduced, the hardness of running characteristics of the motor is enhanced, and the working efficiency of the tool is improved; due to decreasing of the internal resistance, the current loss of the armature circuit is reduced, and the temperature rise of an electric appliance and contacts is reduced; with the same working efficiency, the battery capacity can be saved, and the battery cost is reduced.

Embodiments of the disclosure can include an inertial short-circuit and seismic hook for an electrical equipment disconnect switch.
