[0040] 2. The manual brake device of the existing automobile tire balancing machine has no limit function. When manual braking is needed during the detection process, the hand needs to be kept on the brake handle to achieve braking. In the actual detection application process, there are many inconveniences. The present application specifically provides a technical solution to the above problems. The technical solution, working principle and technical effect of the present application are described in detail below in combination with specific embodiments.

[0041] like Figure 2 As shown, this embodiment records a manual limit brake device for a tire balancing machine. When in use, the device is installed on the body 1 of the tire balancing machine. The purpose is to simplify the braking action, realize automatic limit of the brake handle, and accurately locate the unbalanced position.

[0042] like Figure 1 As shown, the manual limit brake device of the tire balancing machine includes a first mounting seat 2, a brake mechanism 3 and a brake drive mechanism. When working, the brake mechanism 3 and the brake drive mechanism need to be installed in coordination with the tension spring 14 arranged on the machine body 1.

[0043] The brake mechanism 3 is a main component of the device and is mounted on the first mounting seat 2. When the brake mechanism 3 brakes, it directly acts on the main shaft to perform braking.

[0044] The brake mechanism 3 includes a brake pad 12 and a mounting frame. The brake pad 12 is mounted on the mounting frame, and the mounting frame is used to adjust the relative installation position of the brake pad 12.

[0045] The brake drive mechanism comprises an operating handle 4, a cam linkage mechanism, and an elastic member 7 arranged in cooperation with the cam linkage mechanism.

[0046] When the operating handle 4 is pressed down, the brake drive mechanism drives one end of the brake mechanism 3 to lift up, and the brake pad 12 abuts against the main shaft of the tire balancing machine. The brake pad 12 fits tightly against the main shaft to brake the main shaft and limit the operating handle 4 at the same time.

[0047] When the operating handle 4 is lifted, with the cooperation of the tension spring 14, the brake drive mechanism drives the brake mechanism 3 to separate from the main shaft of the tire balancing machine, and the main shaft brake is released.

[0048] In order to more clearly understand the technical solution adopted by the present application, the following is a detailed description of the various components constituting the manual limit brake device of the tire balancing machine of the present application, the relationship between the components, and the effects that can be achieved by the main mechanism:

[0049] The first mounting seat 2 serves as a mounting base, and includes a spring mounting seat 21 and a brake pad mounting seat 22 . The spring mounting seat 21 is arranged on one side of the brake pad mounting seat 22 . The spring mounting seat 21 is used to mount the elastic component 7 , and the brake pad mounting seat 22 is used to mount the brake pad 12 .

[0050] As an optimization, the spring mounting seat 21 is provided with a first mounting plate 211 , and a spring limiting groove 8 is provided on the upper part of the first mounting plate 211 . One end of the elastic component 7 abuts against the spring limiting groove 8 , and the spring limiting groove serves to limit the elastic component 7 .

[0051] In order to ensure the stability of braking, a guide sleeve 9 is provided at the lower part of the first mounting plate 211 , and the guide sleeve 9 is connected to the spring limiting groove 8 through a guide hole.

[0052] As a further optimization, the brake pad mounting seat 22 includes a connecting portion 221 and a mounting portion 222. The connecting portion 221 is provided with a sleeve 10 and a fixed shaft 11. The sleeve 10 is rotatably mounted on the fixed shaft 11, and the fixed shaft 11 is fixed to the body 1 of the tire balancing machine.

[0053] The brake pad 12 is mounted on one end of the mounting portion 222 via a mounting frame. The brake pad 12 and the mounting portion 222 are detachably connected, so that the brake pad 12 can be easily replaced after being damaged after long-term use.

[0054] In order to achieve the effect of accurately controlling the unbalanced position, the installation method of the brake pad 12 is designed to be a position-adjustable installation method, and the installation position of the brake pad 12 can be flexibly adjusted to meet different installation requirements.

[0055] A lug plate 13 is provided at the other end of the mounting portion 222 , and a tension spring 14 is connected to the lug plate 13 . The tension spring 14 drives the brake pad mounting seat 22 to rotate along the fixed shaft 11 to release the spindle brake.

[0056] A hanging ear 15 is provided at one end of the tension spring 14 away from the ear plate 13 . The hanging ear 15 is fixed on the body 1 of the tire balancing machine and is used for hooking the tension spring 14 .

[0057] The tension spring 14 is linked with the operating handle 4, the cam linkage mechanism, and the elastic member 7 to realize the braking and releasing of the main shaft, meet the braking requirements of the tire balancing machine, and can accurately locate the unbalanced position.

[0058] The brake drive mechanism is the core component of the device and is used to realize the main shaft braking of the tire balancing machine.

[0059] The braking of the tire balancing machine is achieved through an operating handle. The operating handle 4 is connected to the first mounting seat 2 through a cam linkage mechanism and an elastic member 7, and is used to drive the brake mechanism 3 installed on the first mounting seat 2 to operate.

[0060] The operating handle 4 is a conventional handle, and a rubber sleeve is set on one end of the handle to improve the comfort of holding.

[0061] In addition, in order to facilitate operation, during installation, the pressing end of the handle is arranged outside the body 1.

[0062] The cam linkage mechanism realizes the transmission of power between the operating handle 4 and the elastic member 7, and the cam linkage mechanism includes a cam 5 and a spring pressure seat 6 arranged below the cam 5. The spring pressure seat 6 is arranged in cooperation with the cam 5, and the rotation of the cam 5 can drive the spring pressure seat 6 to move up and down.

[0063] Among them, the spring pressure seat 6 includes a boss 61 and a guide shaft 62. The boss 61 and the guide shaft 62 are coaxial components of an integrated structure. The guide shaft 62 is arranged at the lower part of the boss 61. The elastic component 7 is sleeved on the guide shaft 62, and one end of the spring is in contact with the boss 61.

[0064] The guide shaft 62 can move up and down along the guide hole of the guide sleeve 9, squeeze the elastic member 7, and then drive the brake mechanism 3 to brake or unlock.

[0065] As an optimized design, an arc-shaped groove 611 is provided on the upper part of the boss 61 , and the cam 5 is installed in a sliding fit with the arc-shaped groove 611 on the upper part of the boss 61 .

[0066] The upper part of the boss 61 adopts the structural design of the above-mentioned arc-shaped groove 611, which realizes the positioning of the installation position of the cam 5 and the boss 61, and plays a role of bidirectional limiting on the cam 5 and the boss 61, thereby preventing the cam 5 and the boss 61 from swinging relative to each other during the downward pressing of the operating handle 4, thereby affecting the positioning accuracy of the unbalanced position.

[0067] As a further optimization solution, the manual limit brake device of the tire balancing machine is further provided with a second mounting seat 16, which is arranged corresponding to the first mounting seat and is installed on the body of the tire balancing machine for installing a cam and an operating handle.

[0068] The design of the second mounting seat is intended to facilitate adjustment of the mounting positions of the cam and the operating handle to achieve precise positioning.

[0069] Combined with the above description of the structure and technical effects, the working principle of the manual limit brake device of a tire balancing machine in the present application is as follows:

[0070] like Figure 3As shown, when the operating handle 4 is pressed down, the cam 5 is driven to rotate around the rotating shaft. At this time, the distance from the center of the rotating shaft to the spring pressure seat 6 becomes longer, and the spring is compressed. When the pressure applied by the spring to the brake pad mounting seat 22 is greater than the tension of the tension spring 14 applied to the brake pad mounting seat 22, the brake pad mounting seat 22 will rotate around the fixed shaft 11, and the brake pad 12 presses the pulley to achieve spindle braking.

[0071] like Figure 4 As shown, when the operating handle 4 is lifted, the cam 5 is driven to rotate around the rotating shaft. At this time, the distance from the center of the rotating shaft to the spring pressure seat 6 becomes shorter, and the spring is stretched. When the pressure applied by the spring to the brake pad mounting seat 22 is less than the tension of the tension spring 14 applied to the brake pad mounting seat 22, the brake pad mounting seat 22 will rotate around the fixed shaft 11, and the brake pad 12 will disengage from the pulley to release the main shaft brake.

[0072] In this embodiment, the limiting principle of the operating handle 4 is as follows:

[0073] When the handle is pressed down, the contact surface between the cam 5 and the spring pressure seat 6 acts as a fulcrum. The compressed spring gives the spring pressure seat 6 an upward force F1. The handle has a downward gravity F2. The projection distance from the center of the shaft to the fulcrum is the power arm L1, and the projection distance from the center of gravity of the handle to the fulcrum is the resistance arm L2. At this time, F1×L1<F2×L2. According to the principle of leverage, the handle will remain in a downward state without the action of external force.

[0074] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included in the protection scope of the present invention.

[0075] In addition, the technical solutions between the various embodiments can be combined with each other, but they must be based on the fact that they can be implemented by ordinary technicians in this field; when the combination of technical solutions is mutually contradictory or cannot be implemented, it should be deemed that such combination of technical solutions does not exist and is not within the scope of protection required by the present utility model.
