The rotating shaft 32 is connected between the two side walls 31, and the roller 40 is sleeved on the rotating shaft 32; a shaft head 321 is formed at each end of the rotating shaft 32, and the shaft head 321 protrudes from the outer side surface of the side wall 31, and the part of the shaft head 321 protruding from the outer side surface of the side wall 31 is embedded in the concave position 21 provided at the end of the corresponding web 20, that is, Specifically, the shaft heads 321 at both ends of the rotating shaft 32 pass through the two side walls 31 and are embedded in the two recessed positions 21 at the ends of the two webs 20. During assembly, the roller 40 is pre-mounted on the rotating shaft 32, and then the rotating shaft 32 is installed between the two side walls 31, so that the shaft heads 321 protrude from the outer side surfaces of the side walls 31, so that the two side walls 31 and the rotating shaft 32 form a retaining frame, and then the retaining frame is placed between the two webs 20, so that the bolt holes on the side walls 31 are aligned with the bolt holes on the web 20, and the two shaft heads 321 are respectively embedded in the recessed positions 21 at the ends of the two webs 20, and after the connecting bolts 50 are passed across, the nuts 51 are tightened.

[0026] In the utility model, the two side walls of the retaining frame are placed on the inner sides of the two webs, and the side walls of the retaining frame are pressed against the webs by the elastic stress provided by the elastic member, so that the side walls are always pressed against the webs, and the side walls can always connect the rotating shaft to the two webs. The shaft head at the end of the rotating shaft is clamped by the concave position at the end of the web, which can effectively prevent the retaining frame and the webs from loosening due to the vibration of the vehicle chassis during the driving of the vehicle, thereby improving the safety of the vehicle.

[0027] The utility model uses the above-mentioned connecting bolts 50 to cross the two webs 20 and the two side walls 31, and uses the connecting bolts 50 to cross the two groups of webs 20 and the side walls 31, so that the retaining frame 30 is fixed between the two webs 20. In other embodiments, the webs 20 and the corresponding side walls 31 can be connected by a connecting piece that crosses the two, that is, the webs 20 and the side walls 31 are respectively connected by a connecting piece, and the connecting piece can be a connecting pin or bolt that crosses the webs 20 and the side walls 31.

[0028] In a preferred embodiment, the elastic member may be a spring 60, which may be sleeved on the connecting bolt 50, and the spring 60 is located between the two side walls 31, so that the two ends of the spring 60 respectively abut against the inner side surfaces of the two side walls 31, and then the outer side surfaces of the two side walls 31 are closely attached to the inner side surfaces of the web 20, and the elastic stress of the spring 60 is used to press the side walls 31 and the web 20 to prevent the side walls 31 and the web 20 from being loosened due to the vibration of the vehicle chassis. During assembly, the retainer 30 is placed between the two webs, the spring 60 is placed between the two side walls 31, and the connecting bolt passes through the web 20, the side wall 31, and the spring 60. In other embodiments, the elastic member may also be an elastic rubber sleeve, which is placed between the two side walls 31 and sleeved on the connecting bolt 50, and the two ends of the elastic rubber sleeve respectively abut against the inner surface of the two side walls 31 to press the two side walls 31 against the inner side surfaces of the two webs 20.

[0029] In the present invention, the diameter of the shaft head 321 is smaller than the diameter of the rotating shaft 32, thereby forming a limiting end face 322 at the position where the rotating shaft 32 and the shaft head 321 are connected, and the two side walls 31 are respectively sleeved on the two shaft heads 321, and the inner side surfaces of the side walls 31 are abutted against the limiting end faces 322. The limiting end faces 322 are used to limit the side walls 31, so that a clearance fit is formed between the side walls 31 and the end faces of the rollers 40, avoiding interference between the side walls 31 and the rollers 40, so that the rollers 40 can maintain flexible rotation relative to the rotating shaft 32.

[0030] An axial hole is provided on each of the two side walls 31 , and two axial heads 321 are respectively connected to the axial holes of the two side walls 321 , and the parts of the axial heads 321 protruding from the outer side of the side wall 31 are embedded in the recessed positions 21 provided at the ends of the web 20 .

A mounting hole 22 is provided at one end of the web 20 away from the recess 21. The pivot assembly includes a pivot 90, a fixing bolt 92, and two baffles 91. The two ends of the pivot 90 are respectively connected to the mounting holes 22 of the two webs 20. A through hole extending from one end to the other end is provided on the pivot 90. The fixing bolt 92 is inserted into the through hole from one end of the through hole. The two baffles 91 are both sleeved on the fixing bolt 92 and are respectively located at the pivot. At both ends of the pivot 90, a fixing nut 93 is screwed on the fixing bolt 92. After the fixing nut 93 is tightened, the fixing nut 93 and the nut 921 of the fixing bolt 92 are respectively pressed against the outer sides of the two baffles 91, thereby pressing the two baffles 91 against the two end surfaces of the pivot 90 respectively. The outer diameter of the baffle 91 is larger than the outer diameter of the pivot 90, so that the outer edge of the baffle 91 protrudes from the edge of the end surface of the pivot 90. The part of the baffle 91 protruding from the edge of the end surface of the pivot 90 forms a stopper, thereby preventing the entire pivot assembly from being separated from the mounting holes 22 of the two webs 20. A gasket 23 is provided on the outer side surface of the web 20. The gasket 23 is arranged around the periphery of the mounting hole 22. The two ends of the pivot 90 protrude from the outer side surfaces of the two gaskets 23 respectively. By providing the gasket 23, the circumferential dimension of the web 20 at the joint with the pivot 90 is increased, so that the pivot 90 can stably rotate relative to the web 20.

The two brake shoes are arranged opposite to each other, and one end of the two brake shoes away from the roller 40 is pivotally connected to the brake base plate 70. The S-shaped cam 81 of the camshaft 80 is located between the rollers of the two brake shoes. The other structures of the drum brake are the same as those of the prior art and will not be described in detail here.

[0033] The above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention, rather than to limit it. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the aforementioned embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that they can still modify the technical solutions described in the aforementioned embodiments, or make equivalent replacements for some of the technical features therein, and these modifications or replacements do not deviate the essence of the corresponding technical solutions from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of the various embodiments of the present invention.
