Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of brake drums, in particular to a brake drum with a cooling device. Background Art

[0002] The brake drum is the main component of the drum brake system, also known as the brake drum. The brake drum is installed on the car wheel hub, fixed with the tire and rotates at the same speed. When braking is needed, the friction between the brake pad and the brake drum generates resistance to achieve a deceleration effect. Most brake drums will generate a lot of heat when rubbing against the brake pads during deceleration and parking. When the heat is too high, the brakes will fail, causing traffic accidents.

[0003] The current brake drum itself does not have a cooling effect. It is usually cooled by spraying water on the brake drum through a sprinkler head. However, when the temperature of the brake drum is too high, using water for cooling may cause the brake drum to break or explode, thereby reducing the service life of the brake drum.

By providing the reset spring, the two rotating plates can be reset without being affected by the thrust of the hydraulic cylinder, thereby preventing the brake pads from always contacting the inner surface of the brake cover.

[0008] As a further preferred embodiment of the present technical solution, a plurality of air inlet holes are formed through the outer surface of the brake cover, and an exhaust hole is formed through one side of the substrate. By providing the air inlet holes and the exhaust holes, air circulation can be achieved, the air flow rate can be increased, and the air can take away heat.

[0019] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be described clearly and completely below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention.

[0020] The utility model provides a technical solution: Figure 1-4 As shown, in the present embodiment, a brake drum with a cooling device comprises a base plate 1 and a brake cover 2, wherein a fixed pipe 3 is fixedly connected inside the base plate 1 and at a central position, a rotating ring 4 is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the fixed pipe 3, a fan 5 is rotatably connected inside the rotating ring 4, a fixed tooth 6 is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the fan 5, a reinforcing ring 7 is fixedly connected inside the brake cover 2, and the inner surface of the reinforcing ring 7 is meshed with the outer surface of the fixed tooth 6, wherein, by providing the reinforcing ring 7, the structural strength of the brake cover 2 can be improved and it is difficult to deform, and by providing the fan 5, the brake cover 2 can be rotated by the rotation of the fan 5, so that the outside air can enter the brake cover 2, and the temperature generated by the friction between the brake pad 10 and the brake cover 2 is taken away by the flowing air, and by providing the rotating ring 4, the fan 5 can be positioned, and by providing the fixed tooth 6, the fan 5 can be rotated with the brake cover 2.

[0021] like Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, a rotating seat 8 is fixedly connected to the inner side of the base plate 1, and two rotating plates 9 are rotatably connected inside the rotating seat 8. Brake pads 10 are fixedly connected to the outer sides of the two rotating plates 9. A hydraulic cylinder 11 is fixedly connected to the inner side of the base plate 1, and both ends of the hydraulic cylinder 11 are respectively fixedly connected to the outer surfaces of the two rotating plates 9. By setting the rotating plate 9, the brake pads 10 are installed and fixed. By setting the hydraulic cylinder 11, the rotating plate 9 can be pushed to rotate to achieve a braking effect.

[0022] like Figure 3 As shown, a reset spring 12 is fixedly connected between the two rotating plates 9. By providing the reset spring 12, the two rotating plates 9 can be reset without being acted upon by the thrust of the hydraulic cylinder 11, thereby preventing the brake pads 10 from always contacting the inner surface of the brake cover 2.

[0023] like Figure 1 and Figure 3As shown, a plurality of air inlet holes 13 are formed through the outer surface of the brake cover 2, and an exhaust hole 14 is formed through one side of the base plate 1. By providing the air inlet holes 13 and the exhaust holes 14, air circulation can be achieved, the air flow rate can be increased, and the air can take away heat.

[0024] like Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, a plurality of reinforcing ribs 18 are fixedly connected to both sides of the reinforcing ring 7. By providing the reinforcing ribs 18, the deformation resistance of the reinforcing ring 7 can be further improved.

[0025] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, a plurality of heat sinks 15 are fixedly connected to the outer surface of the brake cover 2. By providing the heat sinks 15, the heat generated inside the brake cover 2 can be quickly brought out to the outside to prevent excessive heat.

[0027] The utility model provides a brake drum with a cooling device, and the specific working principle is as follows:

[0028] During the braking process, the hydraulic cylinder 11 simultaneously pushes the two rotating plates 9 to rotate around the rotating seat 8, so that the brake pads 10 are in close contact with the brake cover 2 to decelerate. During the deceleration process, the rotation of the wheel hub drives the fan 5 connected to the reinforcement ring 7 to rotate, so that the fan 5 draws outside air in from the air inlet 13. After entering the interior, the air is discharged from the exhaust hole 14 under the action of the fan 5, and the heat generated by the friction between the brake pads 10 and the brake cover 2 is taken out, so as to cool down in real time and maintain the stability of the heat. When the rotation speed of the wheel hub is low, the heat is quickly transferred to the outside through the heat sink 15 for dissipation.
