[0002] The cost of drum brakes is relatively low and the absolute braking force is strong. Therefore, they have been used on vehicles for nearly a century. In the prior art, a drum brake includes a housing, two brake shoe linings and a push block. During braking, the push block pushes the brake shoe linings to move outwards and press against the housing, and generates friction with the housing so that the housing stops rotating, achieving the purpose of braking.
[0003] When the existing hub expansion brake brakes, the rocker arm rotates to drive the camshaft to rotate, so that the left and right brake shoe assemblies rotate left and right around the fixed axis to open, achieving the braking effect. And one end of the rocker arm needs to extend outside the drum brake to be fixedly installed with the brake cable. Some existing drum brakes have through slots opened on the side wall of the housing to facilitate the swing of the rocker. As a result, the inside of the drum brake is exposed outside through the through slots. During long-term use, the inside of the drum brake will be affected by the sand and mud poured in, affecting the braking effect. In addition, the spring between the existing rocker arm and the brake cable is generally exposed outside. During vehicle driving, sand and gravel particles get stuck inside the spring, affecting the braking of the drum brake.

A protective component 7 is arranged on the surface of the adjusting bolt 4, and one end of the protective component 7 is placed on the surface of the rocker arm 2, and the other end of the protective component 7 is placed on the surface of one end of the brake wire 6. Through the arrangement of the protective component 7, protection is provided for the inside of the return spring 703 and the surface of the adjusting bolt 4, preventing sand and gravel particles from getting stuck inside the return spring 703 during the running of the electric vehicle and affecting the braking of the drum brake.
[0022] Please refer to Figures 1 - 2 In the embodiment of the present utility model: The dust-proof component 3 includes: a positioning block 301, which is fixedly installed on the side wall of the drum brake housing 1. One end of the positioning block 301 is movably and penetratingly provided with an arc-shaped protective plate 302, and one side of the arc-shaped protective plate 302 is movably installed on the side wall of the drum brake housing 1. The other end of the positioning block 301 is movably and penetratingly provided with an arc-shaped movable rod 303, and a fixing plate 304 is fixedly connected between one end of the arc-shaped movable rod 303 and one end of the arc-shaped protective plate 302. The surface of the fixing plate 304 is placed on the surface of one side of the rocker arm 2. A telescopic spring 305 is sleeved on the surface of the arc-shaped movable rod 303, and one end of the telescopic spring 305 is fixedly connected to the surface of one side of the positioning block 301, and the other end of the telescopic spring 305 is fixedly connected to the surface of the fixing plate 304. Through the fixing plates 304 at one ends of the two symmetric arc-shaped movable rods 303 being placed on the surface of the rocker arm 2, during the braking of the drum brake, the rocker arm on the drum brake will be placed. When the rocker arm 2 swings to one side, at this time, the surface of one side of the rocker arm 2 squeezes the fixing plate 304 at one end of a group of arc-shaped movable rods 303 to move in the swinging direction, causing the fixing plate 304 to squeeze the telescopic spring 305 to contract, so that the telescopic spring 305 generates a reverse acting force to squeeze and push the fixing plate 304 to closely fit with the surface of the rocker arm 2. And for the fixing plate 304 on the other side of the rocker arm 2, under the push of the other group of telescopic springs 305, the other group of fixing plates 304 are made to fit on the surface of the other side of the rocker arm 2, thereby playing a role in blocking the movable groove 101, preventing the inside of the drum brake housing 1 from being exposed to the outside through the movable groove 101 and causing sand and mud to pour into the inside of the drum brake housing 1 and affecting the braking effect.
[0023] Please refer to Figures 1 - 2 In the embodiment of the present utility model: One side of the arc-shaped protective plate 302 is fixedly connected with a slider, and a sliding groove is opened on the side wall of the drum brake housing 1. One side of the arc-shaped protective plate 302 is slidably installed in the sliding groove on the side wall of the drum brake housing 1 through the slider. By slidably installing the arc-shaped protective plate 302 on the side wall of the drum brake housing 1, the stability of the movement of the arc-shaped protective plate 302 is further improved.
[0024] Please refer to Figures 1 - 2, in the embodiment of the present utility model: Four balls are equidistantly installed along the circumference inside the other end of the positioning block 301, and one side of the balls is placed on the surface of the arc-shaped movable rod 303.

[0025] Please refer to Figure 1 , in the embodiment of the present utility model: The width of the movable groove 101 is smaller than the width of the arc-shaped protective plate 302. Since the width of the arc-shaped protective plate 302 is greater than the width of the movable groove 101, the arc-shaped protective plate 302 can completely cover the movable groove 101, improving the protection effect.
[0026] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 3 , in the embodiment of the present utility model: The protection component 7 includes: a first sleeve 701 and a return spring 703. The first sleeve 701 is sleeved on the surface of the other end of the adjusting bolt 4, and one end of the first sleeve 701 is placed on the surface of the rocker arm 2. The other end inside the first sleeve 701 is slidably installed with a second sleeve 702, and one end of the second sleeve 702 is placed on the surface of one end of the brake wire 6.

One end of the return spring 703 is placed on the inner wall of one end of the first sleeve 701, and the other end of the return spring 703 is placed on the surface of the other end of the second sleeve 702. Through the arrangement of the first sleeve 701 and the second sleeve 702, the length between the first sleeve 701 and the second sleeve 702 can be contracted to different degrees after adjusting the length of the adjusting bolt 4, so that the first sleeve 701 and the second sleeve 702 play a protective role on the surface of the adjusting bolt 4, preventing sand and gravel particles from getting stuck inside the return spring 703 during the running of the electric vehicle and affecting the braking of the drum brake.
[0027] Working principle: In a drum brake, the rocker arm on the drum brake is arranged. When the rocker arm 2 swings to one side, the surface on one side of the rocker arm 2 squeezes the fixing plate 304 at one end of a set of arc-shaped movable rods 303 to move in the swinging direction, causing the fixing plate 304 to squeeze the telescopic spring 305 to contract. As a result, the telescopic spring 305 generates a reverse acting force to squeeze and push the fixing plate 304 to closely fit the surface of the rocker arm 2. And the fixing plate 304 on the other side of the rocker arm 2, under the push of another set of telescopic springs 305, makes the other set of fixing plates 304 fit on the surface of the other side of the rocker arm 2, thereby playing a role in blocking the movable groove 101 and preventing sediment from entering the drum brake housing 1 and affecting the braking effect. In addition, the length between the first sleeve 701 and the second sleeve 702 can be contracted to different degrees after adjusting the length of the adjusting bolt 4, and under the squeezing and pushing of the return spring 703, one end of the first sleeve 701 abuts against the surface of the rocker arm 2, and one end of the second sleeve 702 abuts against the end of the brake cable 6, playing a protective role for the surface of the adjusting bolt 4 and avoiding sand and gravel particles getting stuck inside the return spring 703 during the running of the electric vehicle and affecting the braking of the drum brake. The content not described in detail in this specification belongs to the prior art well-known to those skilled in the art.
[0028] Although the present utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or perform equivalent substitution on some of the technical features. Any modification, equivalent substitution, improvement, etc. made within the spirit and principle of the present utility model shall be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
