BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0014] Figure 2 Cross-sectional view of the disc-type friction force adjusting device. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE EMBODIMENTS

[0015] The present application provides a disc-type friction force adjusting device, which has a simple structure and is convenient for processing and manufacturing; the present application provides a disc-type friction force adjusting device that can perform stepless adjustment, significantly improving the fineness of friction force adjustment.

[0016] The friction force adjusting device described in the present application generally consists of an installation support, a friction base assembly, a friction disc assembly, an elastic assembly, etc. The installation support fixes the friction base assembly to the fuselage structure through connecting devices. The friction base assembly and the friction disc assembly always keep in contact with each other and generate friction force. Since the contact area between the friction base assembly and the friction disc assembly is large, the generated friction force is relatively uniform. The elastic assembly generates an elastic force and applies it to the friction disc assembly to ensure that the friction base assembly and the friction disc assembly always keep in contact with each other. The magnitude of the elastic force of the elastic assembly can be accurately adjusted through adjusting elements.

[0017] The installation support described in the present application is generally formed by sheet metal processing of metal plates, and its shape can be designed according to the specific installation position.

[0018] The friction base assembly described in the present application consists of a friction ring and a friction base. The friction ring is made of a non-metallic wear-resistant material and is installed on the friction base through connection methods such as bonding or riveting. The friction base is disc-shaped, and a stepped long shaft protrudes from the middle for installing the friction disc assembly and the elastic assembly.

[0019] The friction disc assembly described in the present application consists of parts such as a friction disc, a rocker arm, and a support element. The friction disc is a hollow stepped shaft and is installed on the friction base through a support element. The support element is used to support the rotational movement of the friction disc assembly. The support element can compensate for the movement clearance of the friction disc on the stepped long shaft of the friction base, reducing the processing difficulty of each component. The rocker arm is installed on the friction disc through a connecting device, and the rocker arm transmits the friction force generated by the friction base assembly and the friction disc to other components.

[0020] The elastic component described in this application is composed of components such as an elastic element and an adjusting element. The elastic element can be made of a metal material with a relatively small elastic modulus according to needs, or can be made of a non-metallic material with better elasticity, or other elastic parts such as a spring can act as it. The position where the elastic element is located should be determined according to actual needs without special restrictions. The adjusting element is used to adjust the elastic force generated by the elastic element, and this elastic force acts on the friction disc to generate a positive pressure on the friction base assembly, thereby changing the magnitude of the frictional force.

[0021] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 , Figure 1 which is an axonometric view of the disc-type frictional force adjusting device. As Figure 2 shown, the disc-type frictional force adjusting device is composed of components such as a mounting support 1, a friction base 2, a friction ring 3, a friction disc 4, slotted bushings 5, 6, a gasket 7, bushings 8, 10, a spring 9, an adjusting nut 11, a split pin 12, an output rocker arm 13, etc.

[0022] The mounting support 1 is used to mount the disc-type frictional force adjusting device to the machine body.

[0023] The friction base assembly is composed of a friction base 2 and a friction ring 3. The friction ring 3 is installed on the friction base 2 by means of bonding or riveting or other connection methods. The bottom of the friction base is disc-shaped, and the center is a stepped shaft, and the top of the stepped shaft is threaded. The stepped shaft is used to install the friction disc assembly and the spring assembly.

[0024] The friction disc assembly is composed of a friction disc 4, slotted bushings 5, 6 and an output rocker arm 13. The friction disc 4 rotates on the central axis of the friction base 2. Slotted bushings are arranged between the friction disc 4 and the friction base 2 to support the friction disc 4 to rotate on the central axis of the friction base 2. The slotted bushings can automatically adjust the clearance of the friction disc 4 on the central axis of the friction base 2, reducing the processing difficulty of the friction disc 4 on the friction base 2. The output rocker arm 13 and the friction disc 4 are installed by riveting. The output rocker arm 13 outputs the frictional force generated by the friction base assembly and the friction disc assembly to other components of the operating system.

[0025] The elastic component is composed of bushings 8, 10, a spring 9, and an adjusting nut 11. The bushings 8, 10 are installed at both ends of the spring 9, and the adjusting nut is installed outside the spring. The adjusting nut 11 can move on the thread at the top of the stepped shaft of the friction base 2 to steplessly adjust the compression length of the spring 9.
