[0003] In actual use of the bidirectional brake in the prior art, when the wheel rotates, whether clockwise or counterclockwise, by stepping on the brake pedal, the brake shoe will be pushed against the brake drum, generating a friction torque to achieve braking. However, when the brake is in use, the friction plate arranged on the outside of the brake shoe will rub against the brake drum. After long-term use, the thickness of the friction plate will be reduced, and the pressure of the brake pedal needs to be increased, which in turn leads to a reduction in the braking effect of the brake. At the same time, it cannot effectively remind personnel to replace it, so it needs to be improved. Utility Model Content

[0020] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the embodiments described are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0021] Example 1

[0022] like Figures 1 to 4FIG. 1 shows a first embodiment of the present invention, which provides a bidirectional braking type travel brake, comprising a brake 1, a detection structure 2 provided on both sides of the interior of the brake 1, a pressure sensor 3 provided inside the detection structure 2, and a mounting ring 4 provided on the inner wall of the brake 1 and located outside the detection structure 2;

[0023] Among them, the detection structure 2 includes a mounting frame 201, a movable block 202 is provided in the inner cavity of the mounting frame 201, the outer side of the movable block 202 is connected to a connecting column 203 located outside the mounting frame 201, a ball 204 is provided at the end of the connecting column 203, and a pressure rod 206 located outside the pressure sensor 3 is provided on the outer side of the movable block 202.

[0024] When the brake pedal is pressed, the brake 1 drives the detection structure 2 to move outward as a whole, and then the top of the ball 204 is connected to the inner wall of the mounting ring 4. The ball 204 will be blocked by the mounting ring 4, and the ball 204, the connecting column 203 and the movable block 202 move toward the inner cavity of the mounting frame 201. As the movable block 202 moves, it drives the pressure rod 206 to move backward. Then, after long-term use, the shoe 102 is severely worn, which will cause the ball 204 to move a greater distance. Until it is worn to a safe vertical position, it drives the pressure rod 206 to squeeze and trigger the pressure sensor 3, thereby checking the usage status of the brake 1 through the pressure sensor 3 for timely replacement.

[0025] Example 2

[0026] like Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, this embodiment includes the features of embodiment 1, and the distinguishing technical features are:

[0027] The brake 1 includes a brake drum 101, in which a brake wheel cylinder 103 is provided in the inner cavity. Shoes 102 are provided on both sides of the brake wheel cylinder 103. There are two shoes 102, a spring 104 is provided between the two shoes 102, and friction plates are provided on the outside of the two shoes 102.

[0028] When the brake pedal is pressed, the two shoes 102 will move toward the inner wall of the brake drum 101, causing the friction plates on the shoes 102 to rub against the inner wall of the brake drum 101 for braking. After braking, the elastic force of spring 104 will drive the two shoes 102 to return to their original position, making subsequent braking easier.

[0029] There are two mounting frames 201 , and the tops of the two mounting frames 201 are connected to the bottoms of the two shoe blocks 102 .

[0030] When the two shoes 102 move outward, the mounting frame 201 is driven outward by the shoe 102, and then the ball 204 contacts the mounting ring 4, squeezing the ball 204, the connecting column 203 and the movable block 202 to move toward the inner cavity of the mounting frame 201. According to the movement distance of the ball 204, the wear of the friction plate on the shoe 102 is detected, so that the shoe 102 with severe wear is replaced to prevent safety hazards.

[0031] A connecting rod 205 is provided on the outer side of the movable block 202 , and the outer side of the connecting rod 205 extends to the outside of the mounting frame 201 .

[0032] When the ball 204 is blocked by the mounting ring 4, the ball 204, the connecting column 203 and the movable block 202 will be squeezed into the inner cavity of the mounting frame 201, and then the movable block 202 drives the connecting rod 205 to move backward. When the movable block 202 moves, the connecting rod 205 is limited to prevent position displacement.

[0033] The movable block 202 is elastically connected to the mounting bracket 201 via a second spring 207 .

[0034] At this time, since the second spring 207 is in a squeezed state, it will apply outward pressure to the movable block 202, driving the squeezed ball 204, the connecting column 203 and the movable block 202 to reset, thereby facilitating subsequent continuous detection.

[0035] Example 3

[0036] like Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, this embodiment includes the features of embodiment 1, and the distinguishing technical feature is that the outer side of the mounting ring 4 is connected to the inner wall of the brake drum 101 , and the mounting ring 4 is horizontally aligned with the ball 204 .

[0037] When the outer side of the ball 204 is blocked and squeezed by the mounting ring 4, the outer surface of the ball 204 slides on the mounting ring 4, reducing the contact area between the ball 204 and the mounting ring 4 and reducing the friction between the ball 204 and the mounting ring 4, thereby ensuring the accuracy of detecting the wear of the friction plate.

[0038] The outer surface of the pressure sensor 3 is connected to the inner wall of the mounting bracket 201 .

[0039] When the pressure rod 206 moves inward, it triggers the pressure sensor 3, thereby sending a signal to let the user know the condition of the friction plate on the shoe 102, so that the user can align and replace it in time to prevent safety hazards.

[0040] The working principle and use process of this utility model:

[0041] First, when the operator uses the brake 1, the two shoes 102 will be driven to move outward, and the friction pads on the outside of the shoes 102 will contact the inner wall of the brake 1 to produce a braking effect. Then, when the shoes 102 move, the detection structure 2 will be driven to move as a whole, so that the ball 204 is squeezed against the outside of the mounting ring 4. When the mounting ring 4 vibrates, the ball 204, the connecting column 203 and the movable block 202 are squeezed and moved to the inner cavity of the mounting frame 201. At the same time, the movable block 202 drives the pressure rod 206 to move toward the pressure sensor 3. When the pressure sensor 3 is triggered, the pressure sensor 3 generates a signal to remind the operator that the friction pad is severely worn and needs to be aligned and replaced in time to avoid affecting the braking effect of the brake 1. When the pressure sensor 3 is triggered and the braking is completed, the elastic recovery effect of the spring 2 207 drives the movable block 202, the connecting column 203 and the movable block 202 to reset for subsequent detection, thereby facilitating the operator to detect the wear of the friction pad, avoiding the impact of severe wear on the braking effect without knowing it, and preventing safety hazards.

[0042] It should be noted that, in this document, relational terms such as first and second, etc., are used only to distinguish one entity or operation from another entity or operation, and do not necessarily require or imply any actual relationship or order between these entities or operations. Moreover, the terms "comprises," "comprising," or any other variations thereof are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion, such that a process, method, article, or apparatus that includes a list of elements includes not only those elements but also other elements not explicitly listed, or elements inherent to such process, method, article, or apparatus.

[0043] Although the embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and variations may be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, and the scope of the present invention is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
