Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the field of rail transit vehicle technology, and in particular to an electromechanical parking brake device. Background Art

[0002] With the rapid development of rail vehicle technology, modern rail transit has continuously increased the requirements for the electrification of the braking system. As the core basic execution unit in the rail transit system, the simplification of the design and improvement of the safety of the electromechanical brake device have become an important task for the development of the industry.

[0003] Although the existing electromechanical parking brake device has gotten rid of the dependence on compressed air and hydraulic oil, it also has the following shortcomings: 1) The current electromechanical brake device usually relies on the rotation of the motor to apply the brake. Although this method effectively converts electrical energy into mechanical energy, there is a certain amount of energy loss during the transmission process, resulting in low transmission efficiency; 2) The electromechanical brake device is highly dependent on the power supply during the braking process. In the event of a power failure or power outage, the brake system cannot complete the application of the parking brake, which causes serious safety hazards; 3) The existing electromechanical brake device relies on the electrical mechanism to directly lock the brake spring, which places high requirements on the performance of the locking mechanism. However, in the existing device, the overall stability of the locking mechanism is poor and is easily affected by changes in the external environment, which may cause the device to fail and affect the safe operation of the train; 4) During the release of the parking brake, the electromechanical brake device needs to cooperate with the control circuit to ensure the smooth release of the brake. However, the complex control logic and high dependence on electrical components in the existing design make the system design and debugging process more difficult and increase the risk of failure.

[0004] In summary, although electromechanical brake devices have made important technological progress, they still face many challenges in terms of transmission efficiency, power supply dependence, locking mechanism performance, and control system complexity. Therefore, in-depth research and innovation in these areas are urgently needed to improve the overall performance, safety, and reliability of electromechanical brake devices.

[0044] A groove 8 is provided on the outer wall of the side where the push rod 2 contacts the shell 1; the design of the groove 8 can reduce the contact area between the push rod 2 and the shell 1, thereby reducing friction, thereby preventing heat accumulation due to excessive friction, reducing wear, and extending the service life of the equipment; and the groove 8 can accommodate the displacement caused by processing or assembly errors, so that the push rod 2 can better adapt to the shape changes of the shell 1 during movement, thereby improving the stability and accuracy of operation; the design of the groove 8 can also form a certain buffer area between the push rod 2 and the shell 1, reducing the noise and vibration generated during the movement; in this embodiment, the groove 8 can also serve as a storage area or channel for lubricant, helping the lubricant to be better distributed on the contact surface, ensuring the smoothness of the push rod 2 during movement, and reducing friction and wear.

[0045] A seal 9 is provided on the side where the push rod 2 contacts the housing 1. In the present embodiment, the seal 9 includes but is not limited to a sealing ring, which is arranged along the circumference of the push rod 2. The seal 9 can prevent dust, impurities and moisture from entering the interior of the device, protect the push rod 2 and other key components, prevent corrosion and wear, and extend the service life of the equipment. The seal 9 can absorb shock and vibration to a certain extent, enhance the stability of the push rod 2 during operation, and avoid failures caused by vibration. In the present embodiment, the seal 9 can also prevent the leakage of lubricating oil, liquid or gas, ensure that the internal medium is not contaminated by the outside, and avoid the loss of the internal medium.

[0046] The implementation principle of the embodiment of the present application is as follows: the device of the present application utilizes the rotation of the lead screw assembly to effectively convert electrical energy into mechanical energy, stores energy by compressing the spring group 5, and realizes efficient energy storage and release. Moreover, due to the connection between the lead screw assembly and the push rod 2, the response speed of the entire braking process is fast, and the brake can be applied or released in a short time, thereby improving safety. When working, the electromechanical parking brake device is in an initial state, the push rod 2 is not in the working position, the spring group 5 is in a natural state, the locking assembly 7 is not activated, and the screw assembly is in a static state; When the brake needs to be applied, the electromagnetic device is energized, and the valve core 79 is electromagnetically attracted, and the valve core 79 drives the connecting rod group to move. At this time, the locking rod 72, the first connecting rod 75, the third connecting rod 77, and the fourth connecting rod 78 form a triangular structure, and the connecting rod group and the locking rod 72 form the first and second locking positions. The rotation stop 73 abuts against the ratchet 71 to limit the rotation and rotation direction of the ratchet 71; when the spring group 5 stores energy, the ratchet 71 rotates to drive the rotation stop 73 to rotate, and when the ratchet 71 rotates, it drives the ball screw 3 to rotate, thereby driving the ball nut 4 to move, compressing the spring, and after the ratchet 71 stops rotating, the rotation stop 73 is reset under the action of the torsion spring 74, completing the energy storage of the spring group 5; After the energy storage is completed, the electromagnetic device loses power, the electromagnetic attraction is released, and the valve core 79 is reset under the action of the reset spring, thereby driving the connecting rod group to move. At this time, the relative positions between the first connecting rod 75 and the second connecting rod 76 and between the third connecting rod 77 and the fourth connecting rod 78 change, forming an angle. This angle breaks the previous triangular structure, releases the first and second locking positions, and allows further movement of the connecting rod group, thereby driving the locking rod 72 and the rotating stop 73 to move, and releasing the abutment relationship between the rotating stop 73 and the ratchet 71; at this time, the ratchet 71 rotates in the opposite direction, driving the ball screw 3 to rotate in the opposite direction, and the compression force of the spring group 5 will act on the push rod 2, eventually pushing it out, so that the braking device enters the working state, generating sufficient braking force to lock the train; When the brake needs to be released, the operator or the control system activates the locking assembly 7 again, drives the screw assembly to rotate in the energy storage direction, gradually releases the pressure of the spring group 5, and the push rod 2 returns to the initial position. In this way, the brake device is released and the train can run safely. The device of the present application does not require the cooperation of the control circuit during the brake relief process, and the electromagnetic device can remain in a normally energized state, thereby simplifying the complexity of the control system. When the electromagnetic device loses power, it will automatically trigger the application of the brake, thereby improving the safety of the brake device. The brake spring force of the spring group 5 can directly act on the actuator push rod 2, reducing intermediate transmission relief and improving transmission efficiency. When the electromagnetic device loses power, it will automatically trigger the application of the brake, thereby improving the safety of the brake device. The present application uses a ball screw 3 and a nut to release elastic potential energy, thereby reducing the impact force of the brake application and making the brake application process smoother.

[0047] The above are all preferred embodiments of the present application, and the protection scope of the present application is not limited thereto. Therefore, any equivalent changes made according to the structure, shape, and principle of the present application should be included in the protection scope of the present application.
