DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0026] The present invention will be further explained below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0027] Example 1: Reference Figure 1 As shown, the utility model provides a novel brake camshaft structure, including a cam portion 1, an axial positioning portion 2 fixedly arranged at the lower end of the cam portion, and a rocker arm joint portion 3 fixedly arranged at the lower side of the axial positioning portion, a torque-increasing meshing portion 4 is fixedly arranged between the axial positioning portion 2 and the rocker arm joint portion 3, and by arranging the torque-increasing meshing portion 4 between the axial positioning portion 2 and the rocker arm joint portion 3, the connection strength and torsional strength between the camshaft and the rocker arm 7 are enhanced, ensuring that it is not easy to be deformed or damaged when used under high load, thereby effectively improving the braking effect and safety of the brake.

[0028] The torque-increasing meshing portion 4 includes a convex block component 401 and a latching tooth component 402 fixed and evenly distributed at the outer edge of the convex block component 401. The latching tooth component 402 has four parts, including a left convex toothing segment 403 and a right convex toothing segment 404 which are arranged in a mirror image and protrude outward. A tooth-shaped positioning segment 405 is provided at the junction of the front ends of the left convex toothing segment 403 and the right convex toothing segment 404. An end of the right convex toothing segment 404 away from the tooth-shaped positioning segment 405 is provided with an inwardly concave arc groove segment 406.

[0029] Left convex toothing segment 403 and right convex toothing segment 404: The two mirror-image convex toothing segments increase the contact area, making the engagement between the camshaft and the rocker arm tighter and more uniform, thereby reducing local stress concentration, improving the efficiency of torque transmission, and reducing performance degradation caused by uneven wear.

[0030] Tooth-shaped positioning section 405: The tooth-shaped positioning section 405 located at the front end junction of the left convex toothing section 403 and the right convex toothing section 404 ensures the precise alignment of the camshaft and the rocker arm and prevents misalignment during assembly, which not only improves the operating accuracy of the brake, but also enhances the stability of the system and reduces the risk of loosening or failure due to inaccurate assembly.

[0031] Arc groove section 406: The arc groove section designed at the end of the right convex toothing section 404 away from the tooth positioning section 405 provides an additional stress release path, helps to disperse the load and prevent deformation caused by high load. In addition, the arc groove section 406 can also accommodate lubricating oil, further reducing friction, improving wear resistance, and extending component life.

[0032] In summary, the four-part design of the latching tooth component 402 significantly improves the torque transmission efficiency, operating stability and durability of the brake by enhancing meshing performance, improving positioning accuracy, dispersing stress and optimizing lubrication, thereby enhancing the overall braking performance and safety.

[0033] Reference Figure 2-Figure 3As shown, the torque-increasing meshing portion 4 passes through the gate box 5 and extends forward to be meshed and connected with the tooth groove portion 701 provided at the inner end of the rocker arm 7.

[0034] The rocker arm joint portion 3 passes through the tooth groove portion 701 and extends forward to be fixedly connected to the lock nut 8 by threaded rotation.

[0035] The cam portion 1 includes a shoe clamping block 101 arranged at the upper end, a positioning clamping ring 102 is fixedly arranged at the bottom end of the shoe clamping block 101, and the shoe clamping block 101 is clamped between the shoes 6.

[0036] A thread locking protrusion 301 is provided at the front end of the rocker arm joint 3 , and the thread locking protrusion 301 is threadedly rotatably fixedly connected to the thread locking groove at the inner end of the lock nut 8 . Example

[0037] Optimized lubrication system: See Figure 4 As shown, a lubrication channel 201 is provided on the axial positioning portion 2, and the lubrication channel 201 is used to provide lubrication between the meshing parts, reduce friction, and improve the meshing efficiency, so as to reduce friction and wear, and improve the durability and service life of the structure. The rest of the technical scheme is the same as implementation one. Example

[0038] Anti-slip and anti-loose design: refer to Figure 3 , 5 As shown, the outer surface of the threaded locking protrusion 301 is provided with a plurality of anti-skid protrusions 302, and the anti-skid protrusions 302 are used to increase the friction force of the contact surface with the rocker arm 7 to prevent relative sliding, thereby ensuring the braking effect and operational safety. The lock nut 8 is an anti-loosening structure, including an elastic washer 801 and a locking nut 802, and the elastic washer 801 is sleeved on the threaded locking protrusion 301, and the threaded locking protrusion 301 and the locking nut 802 are threadedly rotated and fixedly connected to ensure the stability and safety of the threaded connection. The anti-skid protrusions 302 of the threaded locking protrusion 301 and the lock nut 8 with an anti-loosening structure ensure the stable connection between the camshaft and the rocker arm, prevent loosening due to vibration or long-term use, and enhance the braking effect and operational safety.

[0039] Use of high-strength wear-resistant materials: The latching tooth component 402 is made of high-strength wear-resistant materials, which significantly improves the durability and service life of the strong meshing part 4, further enhances the overall performance of the brake, and the remaining technical solutions are the same as implementation one or two.

[0040] In order to facilitate understanding of the above technical solution of the present invention, the above technical solution of the present invention is described in detail below through specific usage methods.

[0041] The specific working process is: during the installation process, first clamp the shoe clamping block 101 of the cam part 1 between the brake shoes 6, then pass the torque increasing engagement part 4 through the gate box 5 and extend forward to engage with the tooth groove part 701 set at the inner end of the rocker arm 7, and the threaded locking protrusion 301 of the front end rocker arm joint part 3 passes through the elastic washer 801 of the lock nut 8 and the locking nut 802 is threadedly rotated to tighten and fix it. The convex block component 401 of the torque-increasing meshing part 4 is tightly meshed with the tooth groove part 701 at the inner end of the rocker arm 7 through the four parts of the clamping tooth component 402: the left convex meshing section 403, the right convex meshing section 404, the tooth-shaped positioning section 405 and the arc-shaped groove section 406. The design of the left convex meshing section 403 and the right convex meshing section 404 increases the contact area and tightness, ensuring the efficiency and uniformity of torque transmission. The arc-shaped groove section 406 provides a stress release path to prevent deformation under high loads, while accommodating lubricating oil to further reduce friction and wear. When the braking system is started, the rocker arm 7 drives the cam part 1 to rotate back and forth continuously, and the shoe clamping block 101 drives the brake shoe 6 to open left and right around the fixed axis to achieve a braking effect.

[0042] The brake camshaft structure of the utility model effectively improves the torsional strength, stability and durability of the brake, ensuring safety and reliability under high-load conditions. The design of the torque-increasing meshing part 4 not only enhances the torque transmission efficiency, but also reduces friction and wear, prolongs the service life of the components, and reduces maintenance costs. The anti-slip and anti-loosening design further ensures the safety and stability of the operation.
