Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of brake pad friction blocks, and in particular relates to a testing device for the texture structure of a train brake pad friction block. Background Art

[0002] High-speed trains achieve train braking and speed control through the friction between the brake pad friction block and the brake disc. However, at low speeds (<5 km / h), disc / block friction braking can easily cause stick-slip vibration in the braking system. Stick-slip vibration not only causes abnormal wear and rupture of the friction block, threatening the braking safety of the train, but also produces braking noise, affecting the riding experience and the normal life of residents along the way, thus causing many complaints. Therefore, taking measures to reduce or suppress stick-slip vibration under friction braking is of great significance to improving the safe operation of trains. Existing methods such as changing the shape, material, and installation direction of the brake pad friction block, or adding viscoelastic dampers to the friction block to suppress the stick-slip vibration of the braking system often require a lot of testing and debugging, and for different train types and operating conditions, different system structures and parameter settings need to be considered for matching, which is costly and difficult to promote widely. Utility Model Content

[0012] Preferably, the clamp includes a bracket and a rotating assembly located on both sides of the bracket, the rotating assembly includes a caliper and a brake pad back plate, the middle part of the caliper is hinged to the bracket, the brake pad back plate is arranged at one end of the caliper, and a fixed back plate is installed on the brake pad back plate through a retaining spring and a fixing pin, a friction block is installed at the end of the fixed back plate, and the gasket is sleeved on the fixing pin; the rotating assembly also includes a power assembly for driving the caliper to move; the power assembly includes a cylinder, the bottom of the cylinder is hinged to the ground, and the output end of the cylinder is hinged to the end of the caliper.

[0013] In this technical solution, the brake disc is located between the friction blocks on both sides, and the power assembly includes a cylinder. When the brake disc needs to be clamped, the cylinder is started to drive the two calipers on the bracket to rotate around the hinge point with the bracket until the friction blocks on the back plate of the brake pad are close to clamp the brake disc.

[0017] 1. The utility model suppresses stick-slip vibration by texturing the surface of the friction block and improving the connection method of the brake pad friction block. It is a method that actively suppresses stick-slip vibration from the source, and does not require modification or addition or subtraction of the structure of the braking system. Therefore, it does not increase the operation and maintenance cost of the train and is easier to promote.

[0018] 2.

Second, the appropriate gasket material can absorb part of the impact force and enhance driving stability. Third, changing the gasket thickness can optimize the distance between the friction block and the brake disc, greatly suppressing the unstable vibration caused by friction self-excited vibration.
