The invention discloses an elevator safety brake, which comprises a base body, two brake arms, a screw rod, two brake shoes, a brake disc, two spring bodies, a spring scale, a brake rod, a plunger and an electromagnetic The main body of the brake is made of iron, and the bottom ends of the two brake arms are provided with a secondary braking mechanism, and the secondary braking mechanism includes a secondary brake shoe, a brake pad, a main connecting arm, a secondary connecting arm, an elastic Composed of bending mechanism and fixing bolts, the brake pad is arranged on the upper end surface of the secondary brake shoe, and the upper end surface of the brake pad is close to the annular side of the brake disc, by adding a secondary brake pad to the device Braking mechanism, clever use of the brake arm when closing the brake and encircling the brake disc for braking through the brake shoe, compressing the secondary braking mechanism forces it to bend upward and arch to contact the annular bottom surface of the brake disc to assist it Braking, so that the braking inertia force is evenly distributed, increasing the braking effect.
