[0027] The present invention will be further described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific implementations, but it is not a limitation of the present invention.

[0028] The structures, ratios, sizes, etc. shown in the drawings of this specification are only used to cooperate with the content disclosed in the specification for those familiar with this technology to understand and read, and are not used to limit the limiting conditions under which the present invention can be implemented. Therefore, they do not have technical essential significance. Any modification of the structure, change of the proportional relationship, or adjustment of the size, without affecting the effects that the present invention can produce and the purposes that can be achieved, should still fall within the scope covered by the technical content disclosed in the present invention. At the same time, the terms such as "upper", "lower", "left", "right", "middle", and "one" cited in this specification are only for the convenience of clear narration, and are not used to limit the scope under which the present invention can be implemented. The change or adjustment of their relative relationships, without substantial change in the technical content, should also be regarded as the scope under which the present invention can be implemented.

[0029] As Figure 1 to Figure 2 shown, a return spring piece of a preferred embodiment is shown, which includes: a spring piece body.

[0030] The spring piece body is provided with a first substrate 1, an elastic piece 2, a second substrate 3, and a third substrate 6; one end of the first substrate 1 along the first direction is connected to the elastic piece 2 through a transition edge 4; both ends of the first substrate 1 along the second direction are respectively connected to the second substrate 3 and the third substrate 6 through a connection edge 5; the second substrate 3 is arranged in an "L" shape, the third substrate 6 is arranged in a "U" shape, a groove 7 is formed between the second substrate 3 and the third substrate 6, and the elastic piece 2 faces the groove 7; one end of the first substrate 1 along the first direction and away from the elastic piece 2 protrudes outwardly to be provided with a bump 8, an opening 9 is provided on the bump 8, and an inner wall of the opening 9 is connected to a clamping block 10; one end of the second substrate 3 along the first direction and close to the third substrate 6 protrudes outwardly to be provided with a fourth substrate 11 and a fifth substrate 12; both ends of the third substrate 6 along the first direction are respectively connected to a sixth substrate 13 and a seventh substrate 14 through arc-shaped connecting plates.

[0031] In actual use, the present invention simplifies the structure of the return spring piece, so that the return force and stress changes of the return spring piece during the braking process can be simulated by the simulation software Abaqus. First, the model is extracted in Ansa, and the mid-surface mesh is exported. The shell unit is used for simulation in the Abaqus software. Only the return spring piece is retained in the assembly module. According to the specific actual working conditions, the corresponding boundary conditions and displacement parameters are set in the software. The calculation type is static analysis. After all parameter settings are completed, the return spring simulation calculation is performed. When the simulation calculation is completed, the return spring piece return force result and the maximum stress result can be obtained in the result cloud diagram.

[0032] Specifically, the return spring piece can be fixed by the second substrate 3 and the third substrate 6. During the braking process, the second substrate 3 and the third substrate 6 are subjected to the force of the external bracket, and the spring piece 2 is subjected to the force of the external back plate, so that the return spring piece is simultaneously subjected to the combined action of the back plate and the bracket, resulting in deformation of the return spring piece, and the deformation of the return spring piece mainly depends on the stroke of the friction plate, and the main input is the displacement of the friction plate in the direction perpendicular to the disk surface, wherein the friction plate drives the back plate to displace, so that the displacement of the friction plate can be used as the displacement of the return spring piece, and thus input into the simulation software for calculation, so as to obtain the reaction force and stress results of the return spring piece, wherein the return force curve of the return spring piece in the time domain can be obtained in combination with the reaction force result calculation, and whether the return spring piece has failed can also be judged from the stress result.

[0033] Furthermore, the first direction mentioned above is the length direction of the first substrate 1 , and the second direction is the width direction of the first substrate 1 .

[0034] The present invention also has the following implementation modes based on the above:

[0037] Further, a return spring sheet, wherein the first connection part 22 is provided with a waist hole 15. Specifically, the first connection part 22 can be fixed to an external device, and because the waist hole 15 is a long strip hole, when the first connection part 22 is fixed, the first connection part 22 can also move through the waist hole 15 without affecting the displacement of the first connection part 22.

[0041] Furthermore, a return spring piece, wherein the sixth substrate 13 includes a second arc portion 131, a second connecting portion 132, and an inclined portion 133 connected in sequence.

[0042] Furthermore, a return spring piece, wherein the second arc portion 131 is arranged in an approximately semicircular shape, the opening of the second arc portion 131 faces the opening of the third substrate 6, and the inclined portion 133 is inclined outward.
