[0018] The technical solutions of this application will be described clearly and completely below with reference to specific embodiments. Obviously, the embodiments described are only a portion of the embodiments of this application, not all of them. All other embodiments derived by persons of ordinary skill in the art based on the embodiments of this application without creative effort are also within the scope of protection of this application.

[0019] See also Figure 1 、 Figure 2 and Figure 3 The present application provides a wing-shaped connection device for brake pads of an EMU based on hummingbird bionics, comprising a steel back 1, an adjuster 2 and a brake pad 3 installed on the EMU braking system. The adjuster 2 passes through the steel back 1. The adjuster 2 comprises an upper connection part 21, an intermediate adjustment part 22 and a lower connection part 23. The upper connection part 21 is located above the steel back 1, the intermediate adjustment part 22 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the upper connection part 21, and the lower connection part 23 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the upper connection part 21. The top of the steel back 1 is provided with a mounting groove 5, and the bottom inner wall of the mounting groove 5 is provided with a connecting hole 6. The bottom of the steel back 1 is provided with a connecting hole 6. The bottom of the middle adjustment part 22 extends into the mounting groove 1 5, and the bottom end of the lower connecting part 23 passes through the communicating hole 6 and the mounting groove 2 7 in sequence. The brake pad 3 is detachably installed and fixed on the top of the adjuster 2. A buffering energy-absorbing mechanism 4 is provided between the steel back 1 and the adjuster 2. The buffering energy-absorbing mechanism 4 is used to absorb the impact force generated by the brake pad 3 during the braking process. When the brake pad 3 contacts the brake disc for braking, it can effectively absorb the impact force generated when the brake pad contacts the brake disc, thereby avoiding damage to the components of the braking system due to excessive impact force and extending the service life of the entire braking system.

[0020] In this embodiment, the above-mentioned buffer energy absorption mechanism 4 includes an upper wing-shaped spring group and a lower wing-shaped spring group. The upper wing-shaped spring group is located between the mounting groove 1 5 and the middle adjustment part 22, and the lower wing-shaped spring group is located between the lower connecting part 23 and the mounting groove 2 7. The buffering effect achieved by the cooperation of the upper wing-shaped spring group and the lower wing-shaped spring group makes the braking process smoother, and can avoid unstable conditions such as vehicle shaking caused by excessive impact force at the moment of braking, which is beneficial to maintaining the safety of vehicle operation. Among them, the upper wing-shaped spring group consists of two upper wing-shaped springs 41, and the ends of the two upper wing-shaped springs 41 away from each other are fixedly connected to the inner walls of both sides of the mounting groove 1 5 respectively, and the ends of the two upper wing-shaped springs 41 close to each other are fixedly connected to the bottom of the middle adjustment part 22, and the two upper wing-shaped springs 41 are symmetrically distributed, and the lower wing-shaped spring group consists of two lower wing-shaped springs 42, and the two lower wing-shaped springs 42 away from each other. One end is fixedly connected to the inner walls of both sides of the mounting groove 7 respectively, and an annular groove 8 is opened on the lower connecting part 23. The ends of the two lower wing-shaped springs 42 close to each other are fixedly connected to the inner wall of the annular groove 8, and the two lower wing-shaped springs 42 are symmetrically distributed, and the two upper wing-shaped springs 41 and the two lower wing-shaped springs 42 are symmetrically distributed. When absorbing impact force, the force can be evenly distributed in all directions to avoid damage to a component due to excessive local force, further enhancing the reliability and stability of the entire connecting device. It should be noted that the upper wing-shaped spring 41 and the lower wing-shaped spring 42 adopt a hummingbird bionic design, which draws on the excellent characteristics of natural organisms. This design concept may make the upper wing-shaped spring 41 and the lower wing-shaped spring 42 more optimized in structure and performance, and can better adapt to the complex mechanical environment during braking, improve the buffering energy absorption effect and the working performance of the entire device.

[0021] In this embodiment, it should be noted that, through the elastic characteristics of the upper wing-shaped spring 41 and the lower wing-shaped spring 42, the brake pad 3 can be moved in the vertical direction to a maximum of 0.55 mm and have a maximum horizontal deflection angle of 0.97 degrees, which is used to solve the problem of loose fit between the brake pad 3 and the brake disc, reduce the relative sliding between the brake pad and the brake disc, thereby enhancing the friction effect and improving the braking force. In addition, the vertical and horizontal offsets can increase the friction area of the brake pad 3 and extend its service life.

[0022] In this embodiment, the brake pad 3 is threadedly fixed to the top of the upper connecting part 21 by the hexagon socket bolt 9. The brake pad 3 is threadedly fixed to the top of the upper connecting part 21 by the hexagon socket bolt 9. This detachable installation method allows the brake pad 3 to be replaced conveniently and quickly after it is worn to a certain extent, without the need for large-scale disassembly of the entire braking system, thereby improving maintenance efficiency and ensuring the continuity of the braking performance of the EMU.

[0023] Through the above structure, the working principle of the hummingbird bionic-based EMU brake pad wing-shaped connection device provided in this application is as follows:

[0024] When the brake pad 3 contacts the brake disc during the braking process, the two symmetrically distributed upper wing-shaped springs 41 and two lower wing-shaped springs 42 can make the brake pad 3 in a high-speed braking state fit tightly with the brake disc, reducing the relative sliding between the brake pad 3 and the brake disc, enhancing the friction effect, and improving the braking force. It can also effectively absorb the impact force generated when the brake pad contacts the brake disc, and slow down the high-frequency vibration generated during the braking process. Moreover, through the elastic characteristics of the upper wing-shaped spring 41 and the lower wing-shaped spring 42 themselves, the position of the brake pad 3 can be adjusted, so that the vertical and horizontal offsets of the brake pad 3 can increase the friction area of the brake pad 3, extend the service life of the brake pad 3, and reduce brake failures caused by excessive wear of the brake pad 3.
