Drum brakes and vehicle braking systems

Abstract

The invention relates to the field of vehicles, and discloses a drum brake and a vehicle braking system. The drum brake includes: a brake base plate (1); a brake shoe assembly, the brake shoe assembly is installed on the brake base plate (1) through a brake shoe pin (4), the The brake shoe pin shaft (4) is set to gradually increase in diameter along the axial direction; and the first elastic member (5), the first elastic member (5) is set to be able to provide orientation to the brake shoe assembly The biasing force in the direction of increasing diameter of the brake shoe pin shaft (4). The drum brake of the present invention will push the brake shoe assembly to move through the action of the first elastic member to automatically compensate the gap between the two caused by the wear between the brake shoe pin shaft and the brake shoe assembly, Realize the zero clearance fit between the brake shoe pin and the brake shoe assembly.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of vehicles, in particular to a drum brake and a vehicle braking system. Background technique [0002] The brake is an important component on the automobile axle, which has a vital impact on driving safety. The consistency of the friction plate of the brake shoe assembly and the gap between the brake drum has the greatest impact on the braking of the whole vehicle. [0003] At present, pneumatic drum brakes such as figure 1 As shown, the upper brake shoe assembly 2 and the lower brake shoe assembly 3 are installed on the brake base plate 1 through the brake shoe pin shaft 4 and the set screw 18, and the upper brake shoe assembly 2 and the lower brake shoe assembly The inner hole of the assembly 3 and the brake shoe bushing 19 adopt an interference fit, and the inner hole of the brake shoe bushing 19 and the outer diameter of the brake shoe pin 4 adopt a clearance fit; the return spring 20 is connected to th...

Problems solved by technology

In addition, during the use of the brake, wear and tear will inevitably occur, so the follow-up maintenance needs to regularly replace the brake shoe bushing 19, the bottom plate bushing 25 and the bracket bushing 26, resulting in high maintenance costs

[0006] Further, the clearance fit is affected by gravity, which will cause inconsistent clearance between the friction plate 27 and the brake drum 23, specifically, as figure 2 As shown, the gap between the friction plate 27 and the brake drum 23 on the upper brake shoe assembly 2 is larger than the gap between the friction plate 27 and the brake drum 23 of the lower brake shoe assembly 3, which will cause the braking torque of the left and right brakes of the vehicle Inconsistency, causing vehicle braking deviation

During the braking process, friction between the friction plate 27 with a small gap and the brake drum 23 will cause friction, which will cause the high temperature of the brake and cause the tire to catch fire, affecting driving safety.

[0007] In addition, if the gap between the friction plate 27 and the brake drum 23 is too small (less than the design requirement), it will also affect the automatic adjustment of the adjustment arm assembly, which will easily lead to over-adjustment of the adjustment arm assembly, and then make the vehicle brake When running, the brake temperature is too high

And because the inner hole of the brake shoe bushing 19 and the outer diameter of the brake shoe pin shaft 4 adopt clearance fit, under the action of the return spring 20, the cylindrical surface where the brake shoe assembly friction plate 27 is located forms a taper, which also causes friction. The gap between the disc 27 and the brake drum 23 is inconsistent, resulting in insufficient contact between the brake drum 23 and the friction disc 27, resulting in unstable braking torque and large fluctuations, which ultimately affects the braking effect
