The invention provides an adjustable static retention device and a working method, the adjustable static retention device comprises a driving motor, a driving shaft and a rack, a
motor shaft of the driving motor is in driving connection with the driving shaft, the driving shaft is engaged with the rack, and the driving motor drives the rack to move through the driving shaft. A bottom cover is arranged on the lower side of the driving motor, a motor cavity is formed in the bottom cover, the driving motor is clamped in the motor cavity, a rack cavity is formed in the bottom cover, one end of the rack cavity is open, and the rack is slidably connected into the rack cavity and extends out of the opening of the rack cavity. And the motor cavity and the rack cavity are vertically crossed. A
brake cavity is formed in the side, away from the motor cavity, of the rack cavity, an
electromagnetic clutch is connected into the
brake cavity, and a movable disc is arranged at the end, close to the
electromagnetic clutch, of the driving shaft. And the
electromagnetic clutch magnetically attracts the movable disc and brakes the driving shaft. Static retention force is provided for the door body through the electromagnetic
clutch, a user can open the door body conveniently, and harm to personnel is avoided.
