[0069] As shown in Figure 5 FIG. 2 is a sectional view of the wet brake 1 after the position of the piston 14 is adjusted.

[0070] The gap adjusting method of the wet brake of the mine car comprises the following steps:

[0071] Step 1: When the brake is implemented, the high pressure oil pressure is greater than the opening pressure of the valve core 62, the valve core 62 moves to the right, that is, the valve core 62 is opened, the oil inlet hole 61b and the oil outlet hole 61c of the pressure regulating valve 6 are communicated, the high pressure oil enters the piston oil chamber V of the wet brake 1, and the force of the high pressure oil acting on the piston 14 pushes the piston to move to the right and press the brake assembly 15;

[0072] Step 2: When the piston 14 moves right, the measuring rod 31 of the displacement sensor 3 is pulled to move right, in the process, the displacement sensor 3 measures the displacement change S of the piston 14 from the initial position to the compression of the brake assembly 15, that is, the clearance change between the piston 14 and the brake assembly 15, and converts the clearance change into a displacement signal;

[0073] When the brake is released, the piston 14 returns to the initial position under the action of the return assembly 16.

[0074] Step 3: The displacement sensor 3 sends the displacement signal to the controller 4 through the wire harness, and the controller 4 compares the measured displacement change S with the pre-set displacement value, controls the output of the stepping motor 7 according to the comparison result, adjusts the residual pressure of the piston oil chamber V, and realizes the clearance adjustment between the piston 14 and the brake assembly 15.

[0075] The controller 3 has a pre-set displacement value, which is the maximum value of the wet brake 1 without drag and acceptable reaction time, that is, the maximum clearance value allowed between the piston 14 and the brake assembly 15. The controller 4 compares the measured displacement change S with the pre-set displacement value as follows, and then controls the output of the stepping motor 7 according to the result, adjusts the position of the valve core 62, the adjusting back pressure of the back pressure regulator 5, and the residual pressure of the piston oil chamber V is adjusted.

[0076]

[0077] By adjusting the axial movement of the screw rod 73 of the stepping motor 7, the compression deformation amount of the spring 64 is adjusted, the force of the spring 64 is adjusted, the opening pressure of the valve core 62 is adjusted, the residual pressure in the piston oil chamber V of the wet brake 1 is adjusted, the force of the piston 14 and the force of the return spring 162 are balanced, and the position of the piston 14 is adjusted, that is, the actual displacement of the piston 14 is ≤ the set displacement, and > 0, that is, the clearance between the piston 14 and the brake assembly 15 is automatically adjusted, and no brake drag is generated.

[0078] The gap adjusting device 2 of the wet brake 1 related to the present application realizes the adjustment of the position of the piston 14 of the wet brake 1 by monitoring the clearance between the piston 14 and the brake assembly 15 in real time in each braking, balancing the force of the return spring by adjusting the residual pressure of the piston oil chamber V, and the adjustment accuracy is high, which effectively ensures the stability of the brake reaction time.

The method of adjusting the clearance of a wet brake of a mining vehicle as claimed in claim 4, wherein, include: When braking is applied, if the high-pressure oil pressure is greater than the valve core opening pressure, the valve core opens, and the oil inlet and outlet of the pressure regulating valve are connected. The high-pressure oil enters the piston oil chamber of the wet brake, and the force applied by the high-pressure oil to the piston pushes the piston to the right and presses the brake assembly. When the piston moves to the right, the measuring rod of the displacement sensor is pulled to move to the right, in the process, the displacement sensor measures the clearance change between the piston and the brake assembly, and converts the clearance change into a displacement signal; The displacement sensor sends the displacement signal to the controller through the wire harness, the controller compares the measured displacement change with the preset displacement value, controls the output of the stepping motor according to the comparison result, adjusts the residual pressure in the piston oil chamber, and realizes the clearance adjustment between the piston and the brake assembly.

9. The method of adjusting the clearance of a wet brake of a mining vehicle as claimed in claim 8, wherein, The actual displacement change of the piston > the set displacement, the screw moves to the left, the spring compression increases, and the back pressure pressure increases. 0 < the actual displacement change of the piston ≤ the set displacement, the screw does not act, the spring compression does not change, and the back pressure pressure does not change; the actual displacement change of the piston = 0, the screw moves to the right, the spring compression decreases, and the back pressure pressure decreases.

10. The method of adjusting the clearance of a wet brake of a mining vehicle as claimed in claim 8, wherein, The displacement value is the maximum clearance value allowed between the piston and the brake assembly, by adjusting the axial movement of the screw of the stepping motor, adjusting the spring compression deformation, and then adjusting the opening pressure of the valve core, adjusting the residual pressure in the piston oil chamber, the residual pressure and the action force of the return spring are balanced, and then the adjustment of the piston position is realized, the actual displacement change of the piston ≤ the set displacement, and > 0, the clearance between the piston and the brake assembly is adjusted, and no brake drag is generated.
