[0006] The front end of the brake shoe is installed with a ball at the middle inner position, the front end of the brake shoe is installed with a positioning pin spring for positioning at the left and right end positions, and the front end of the brake shoe is installed with an adjuster at the lower position.
[0007] Preferably, friction plates are provided at the left and right ends of the brake shoe, and the friction plates are attached to the inner wall of the brake drum.
[0008] Preferably, the brake drum is mounted on the wheel via bolts, and the balls are fitted on the outer wall of the wheel axle.
[0009] Preferably, the balls rotate when the wheel rotates, and the balls rotate at an inner position of the brake drum.
[0010] Preferably, the wheel brake cylinder is pressurized when a user steps on a foot pedal and applies pressure to the brake drum.
[0011] Preferably, the return spring quickly returns to its original position after the brake shoe stops applying the braking force, and the return spring causes the sleeve to rotate after being stretched.
[0012] Preferably, the rotation of the sleeve causes the gear shaft to rotate at an inner position of the gear groove, and an excessive stretching amplitude of the return spring causes a distance to be generated between the upper support seat and the lower support seat.
[0013] Preferably, the upper support seat is positioned via a connecting column, and movement of the connecting column causes the push plate to squeeze the stainless steel spring.
[0014] Compared with the prior art, the present invention provides a clearance self-adjusting drum forklift brake, which has the following beneficial effects:
[0015] 1. This device has a sleeve sleeved on the outer wall of the return spring. When the return spring is stretched, the sleeve will rotate with the gear shaft as the central axis, and the gear shaft will rotate at the internal position of the gear groove. At the same time, the stretching of the return spring will cause the upper support seat to displace, and the upper support seat will move along the connecting column. The movement of the connecting column causes the push plate to squeeze the stainless steel spring, so that when the brake shoe is subjected to force, the displacement amplitude of the return spring can be limited, thereby preventing the return spring from falling off.
[0016] 2. This device has multiple balls installed on the inner side of the brake drum. The balls fit into the axle of the wheel. When the wheel rotates, the balls rotate inside the brake drum, which can reduce the friction between the brake drum and the wheel when it is in use. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0022] The following will clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0023] The utility model provides Figure 1-4 The self-adjusting drum brake for forklift shown in the figure comprises a brake drum 1, a brake shoe 3 is installed at the front end of the brake drum 1, a brake wheel cylinder 2 is installed at the upper front end of the brake shoe 3, and a return spring 4 is installed at the upper left and right sides of the front end of the brake shoe 3. A sleeve 9 is sleeved on the outer wall of the return spring 4, and a gear shaft 10 is fixed at the lower end of the sleeve 9. An upper support seat 11 is sleeved on the lower end of the gear shaft 10. The upper support seat 11 is connected to the gear through a gear groove 13 at the inner position of the upper end. The axle rod 10 is installed, and a lower support seat 12 is installed at the lower end position of the upper support seat 11. A connecting column 15 is fixed at the lower end position of the upper support seat 11, and a push plate 14 is fixed at the lower end position of the connecting column 15. At the same time, a stainless steel spring 16 is sleeved on the outer wall position of the connecting column 15. The front end of the brake shoe 3 is installed with a ball 5 at the middle inner position, and the front end of the brake shoe 3 is installed with a positioning pin spring 7 for positioning at the left and right ends. The front end of the brake shoe 3 is installed with an adjuster 6 at the lower position.
[0024] When the forklift driver steps on the brake pedal, the wheel cylinder 2 applies pressure, which is transmitted to the brake shoe 3, causing it to apply braking force to the brake drum 1, braking the wheel and stopping or slowing the vehicle. After the force of stepping on the brake pedal disappears, the return spring 4 returns the brake shoe 3 to its original position, the braking force disappears, and the wheel returns to a free state. The adjuster 6 is responsible for maintaining a constant braking effect as the friction plate 8 wears.
[0025] like Figure 1 and Figure 4 As shown, friction plates 8 are provided at the left and right ends of the brake shoe 3. The friction plates 8 are attached to the inner wall of the brake drum 1. The brake drum 1 is installed with the wheel by bolts. The ball 5 is attached to the outer wall of the wheel shaft. The ball 5 rotates when the wheel rotates. The ball 5 rotates at the internal position of the brake drum 1. The brake wheel cylinder 2 is subjected to pressure and applies pressure to the brake drum 1 when the user steps on the pedal. The return spring 4 quickly returns to its original position after the brake shoe 3 stops braking. The return spring 4 causes the sleeve 9 to rotate after being stretched. The rotation of the sleeve 9 causes the gear shaft 10 to rotate at the internal position of the gear groove 13. The stretching amplitude of the return spring 4 is too large, which causes a distance between the upper support seat 11 and the lower support seat 12. The upper support seat 11 is located through the connecting column 15. The movement of the connecting column 15 causes the push plate 14 to squeeze the stainless steel spring 16.
[0026] When the return spring 4 is stretched, the sleeve 9 will rotate with the gear shaft 10 as the central axis, and the gear shaft 10 will rotate at the internal position of the gear groove 13. At the same time, the stretching of the return spring 4 will cause the upper support seat 11 to be displaced, and the upper support seat 11 will move along the connecting column 15. The movement of the connecting column 15 causes the push plate 14 to squeeze the stainless steel spring 16, so that the displacement amplitude of the return spring 4 can be limited when the brake shoe 3 is subjected to force.
[0027] Finally, it should be noted that the above is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the aforementioned embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the aforementioned embodiments or make equivalent replacements for some of the technical features therein.
