The invention relates to a brake gap automatic regulating wedge mechanism in an arrester, and its technical solution: it comprises casing, wedge, compression spring, trolley, piston, roller push block, piston spring, driving ring, driving ring spring and regulating bolt, where the a vertical hole I and a horizontal through hole II are arranged in the casing, the outer end of the through hole II is provided with a conical plane P, the driving ring is arranged inside the conical plane P, one end of the driving ring spring supports against a shield and the other end supports against the driving ring to press the driving ring on the conical plane P, the piston is connected in the through hole II in sliding mode, the rear end of the piston is hinged with the roller push block, and the front side of the piston is provided with a spiral tooth, which is arranged in a spiral groove inside the driving ring, there is an axial gap ª€ between them, two sides of the lower end of the wedge are symmetrically hinged with trolleys corresponding to the roller push block, the regulating bolt is screwed with the piston and the front end of the regulating bolt is connected with an active fastening hoop. Its advantages: automatically compensating the brake gap; simple structure and low cost; not heating, low noise and not deflection.
