Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of brake structures, in particular to a lightweight drum brake bottom plate. Background Art

[0002] Drum brakes use a brake transmission mechanism to make the brake shoe press the brake pad against the inner side of the brake drum, thereby generating braking force. The brake drum rotates with the wheel, and the two ends of the brake shoe are set on the bottom plate. The cam on the bottom plate and the roller at the end of the brake shoe drive the brake pad to press against the brake drum. The bottom plate is an important part of the brake and provides support for the entire brake.

[0003] Authorization announcement number CN213235867U discloses a lightweight drum brake. This patented technology is connected to the cam and the brake shoe respectively by the mounting seat 1 and the mounting seat 2 protruding from the bottom plate, which is conducive to reducing the volume and weight of the bottom plate. The thinner middle part of the bottom plate is also conducive to reducing the weight of the bottom plate. The tendon of the brake shoe is arranged into two parallel flat plate structures, and connecting ears 1 and 2 are arranged at both ends of the tendon. Connecting ears 1 and 2 are on the same plane as the tendon, and both are flat plate structures, which is conducive to the molding of the brake shoe. The molding of connecting ears 1 and 2 does not require the setting of a separate core, which simplifies the casting process and facilitates the molding of the brake shoe.

[0004] At present, national laws and regulations require that blue-plate light trucks are not allowed to be overloaded. According to the configuration of the existing vehicle, the weight before loading is basically close to the full load of the vehicle. In order not to violate laws and regulations, to allow drivers to carry more goods and save fuel consumption, the vehicle needs to be reduced in weight. The original brake base plate weighs 4.8 Kg, and the purpose is to reduce the weight by 15%-20% on the original basis; weight reduction mainly involves reducing materials. For parts that are not subject to stress, materials are reduced, and for parts that are subject to stress, materials are increased. Therefore, a lightweight drum brake base plate is needed to improve the above problems. Utility Model Content
