All other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art based on the embodiments of the present utility model without creative efforts fall within the scope of protection of the present utility model.

[0020] It should be noted that similar reference numerals and letters indicate similar items in the following drawings. Therefore, once an item is defined in one drawing, it does not need to be further defined and explained in subsequent drawings.

[0021] The following is further described in conjunction with specific embodiments. Refer to Figures 1 - 2As shown in the figure, this embodiment is a flexible adjustable brake, which includes a yoke 1, an armature 2, a rotor 3 and a flange 4. A first brake spring 5 is provided between the yoke 1 and the armature 2. It also includes a stroke component 7 provided in the yoke 1, and a second brake spring 6 is provided between the stroke component 7 and the end face of the armature 2. Specifically, by arranging the second brake spring 6 in the yoke 1 to press against the armature 2, the compression of the second brake spring 6 is determined by the stroke distance of the stroke component 7. By the combined action of the first brake spring 5 and the second brake spring 6, the torque of the brake is adjusted in real time. The torque value of the first brake spring 5 is constant, while the lateral movement of the stroke component 7 drives the change of the compression amount of the second brake spring 6, and the torque received by the armature 2 is different, so that the brake meets the requirements better when applied to a forklift.

[0022] It should be noted that the stroke component 7 is a hydraulic cylinder, a pneumatic cylinder or a motor.

[0023] Refer to Figure 2 As shown in the figure, in this embodiment, the stroke component 7 is arranged in the middle of the yoke 1, and an installation through hole 11 for placing the second brake spring 6 is provided in the middle of the yoke 1. Specifically, an empty notch is opened on the back of the yoke 1 for installing the stroke component 7, and the second brake spring 6 is stuck between the telescopic end of the stroke component 7 and the end face of the armature 2.

[0024] As Figure 2 As shown in the figure, an elastic member 10 is embedded and installed in the yoke 1, and the elastic member 10 is in contact with the stroke component 7. Specifically, the elastic member 10 can assist the stroke component 7 to reset, and can also be used as a starting limiter for the stroke component 7.

[0025] In order to increase the friction force when the rotor 3 brakes, friction linings 31 are provided on both sides of the rotor 3. The friction linings 31 are in contact and friction with the armature 2 and the flange 4 respectively, shortening the braking time.

[0026] This embodiment also includes a first fastener 9. The first fastener 9 passes through the stroke component 7 and is connected to the yoke 1. Specifically, the first fastener 9 uses at least two long-head bolts to pass through the stroke component 7 and is threadedly connected and fixed to the yoke 1, which is very convenient for disassembly and installation.
