Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to a brake torsion spring assembly, belonging to the technical field of brake torsion spring assemblies. Background Art

[0002] In modern transportation, especially in the automotive sector, the performance and reliability of the braking system undoubtedly play a decisive role in the vehicle's safe operation. As the key direct interface between the driver and the braking system, the brake pedal's operational precision, comfort, and responsiveness are crucial. The torsion spring assembly plays an indispensable role in brake pedal operation. It leverages its elastic properties to effectively reset the pedal when the driver releases it, ensuring that the brake pedal quickly and accurately returns to its initial position, ready for the next braking operation. It also helps maintain the stability and reliability of the entire braking system over multiple operating cycles.

[0003] Although existing torsion spring assemblies can drive the pedals for routine reset operations, in actual use, the connection between the torsion spring assembly and the pedal is in a rigid contact state. Every time the pedal is stepped on, the torsion spring assembly directly bears the instantaneous impact force. Due to the lack of a buffering mechanism, the metal structure inside the torsion spring assembly is prone to fatigue deformation due to long-term exposure to this continuous instantaneous force environment, resulting in a gradual decrease in its elasticity and a weakened state. Ultimately, it inevitably shortens the service life of the torsion spring assembly, resulting in a shorter service life.

[0004] Furthermore, the torsion spring assembly is attached to the pedal solely by its own elastic force, lacking any dedicated and effective fasteners. This unsuitable assembly makes it difficult for the torsion spring assembly to withstand the constant vibration, bumps, and other external forces generated by the vehicle during long-term use, making it prone to loosening and even falling off over time. This severely weakens the stability of the torsion spring assembly during use, resulting in insufficient stability. Utility Model Content

[0025] In order to make the technical means, creative features, objectives and effects achieved by the present invention easier to understand, the present invention is further described below in conjunction with specific implementation methods.

[0026] Example 1

[0027] An embodiment of the utility model provides a brake torsion spring assembly.

[0028] See also Figure 1 、 Figure 2 、 Figure 3 and Figure 4, including a pedal body 1, which can brake the vehicle by the driver's stepping on it, a pedal bracket 2 is fixed to the upper end of the pedal body 1, and the pedal bracket 2 has the function of connecting, and a through hole 3 is opened in the middle of the pedal bracket 2, which provides space support for the installation of the torsion spring body 5, and a sleeve 4 is fixed to the middle of the upper end of the pedal bracket 2, which has the function of being installed on the vehicle, and a torsion spring body 5 is sleeved on one side of the sleeve 4, which drives the pedal to reset; one end of the torsion spring body 5 is fixed to a fixing bracket 6, and the fixing bracket 6 is provided with two slide grooves 7 on one side close to the pedal body 1, and a connecting structure is provided on the inner walls of the two slide grooves 7. The connecting structure includes two sliders 8, and the middle parts of the two sliders 8 are both slidably connected to the limit rod 9. The two sliders 8 are fixed with a first spring 10 on the separated sides. One end of the two sliders 8 is rotatably connected to the connecting bracket 11, and the other end of the two connecting brackets 11 is rotatably connected to the fixed block 12, and the other end of the two fixed blocks 12 is fixed to the extrusion bracket 13.

[0029] Please refer again Figure 1 、 Figure 2 、 Figure 3 and Figure 4 It is worth mentioning that the middle parts of the two sliders 8 are slidably connected to the outer surfaces of the two limit rods 9, the outer surfaces of the two sliders 8 are slidably connected to the inner walls of the two slide grooves 7, the two ends of the two limit rods 9 are fixed to the middle parts of the two slide grooves 7, the proximal ends of the two first springs 10 are fixed to the separated sides of the two sliders 8, the separated ends of the two first springs 10 are fixed to the inner walls of the separated sides of the two slide grooves 7, the proximal ends of the two connecting frames 11 are rotatably connected to one end of the two fixed blocks 12, the separated ends of the two connecting frames 11 are rotatably connected to one end of the two sliders 8, and the extrusion frame 13 is clearance-matched with the fixed frame 6.

[0030] During use, the present invention involves the driver stepping on the pedal body 1, causing the pedal bracket 2, which is fixedly connected to the pedal body 1, to rotate around the pedal body 1, supported and guided by the sleeve 4 connected to the vehicle. During this rotation, the pedal bracket 2 applies a compressive force to the extrusion frame 13, causing the extrusion frame 13 to shift position. The shifted extrusion frame 13 then drives the two fixed blocks 12 attached to it to move synchronously. These moving fixed blocks 12, via the connected connecting frame 11, force the two sliders 8 away from each other, restrained by the two limit rods 9 and two slide slots 7. The two moving sliders 8 exert pressure on the two first springs 10 attached to their separated sides, generating an elastic force to cushion the pedaling force. Only after the first springs 10 are compressed to their limit will the pedaling force be slowly transmitted to the torsion spring body 5. This effectively cushions the driver's pedaling force, preventing damage to the torsion springs caused by direct force, thereby extending the service life of the torsion spring assembly.

[0031] Example 2

[0032] See also Figure 1 、 Figure 2 、 Figure 3 and Figure 4 , based on the first embodiment, a stable installation function is added;

[0033] Please refer again Figure 1 、 Figure 2 、 Figure 3 and Figure 4 It is worth mentioning that a connecting block 14 is fixed to the end of the fixing frame 6 away from the torsion spring body 5, a stabilizing groove 15 is provided in the middle of the connecting block 14, and the inner walls on both sides of the stabilizing groove 15 are slidably connected to the limiting frames 16, and a second spring 17 is fixed to the proximal ends of the two limiting frames 16.

[0034] Please refer again Figure 1 、 Figure 2 、 Figure 3 and Figure 4 It is worth noting that the outer surface of the fixing frame 6 is in contact with the inner wall of the through hole 3, the outer surfaces of the two limit frames 16 are in contact with the outer surface of one side of the pedal bracket 2, the two limit frames 16 are arranged opposite to each other, and the vertical cross-section of each limit frame 16 is T-shaped. The outer surfaces of the two limit frames 16 are slidably connected to the inner walls on both sides of the stabilizing groove 15, and the two ends of the stabilizing groove 15 pass through the middle of the connecting block 14. The two ends of the second spring 17 are fixed to the middle of the adjacent sides of the two limit frames 16.

[0035] During use of the present invention: When assembling the torsion spring assembly, manually apply pressure to force the fixing frame 6 through the through-hole 3. A connecting block 14 is fixed to the other end of the fixing frame 6, and a stabilizing groove 15 is provided in the middle of the connecting block 14. Two limiting frames 16 sliding on the inner wall of the stabilizing groove 15 first contact the through-hole 3. At this time, the two limiting frames 16 approach each other under the pressure of the through-hole 3, and the two limiting frames 16 approaching each other squeeze the second spring 17 fixed in the middle, so that the two limiting frames 16 obtain compression space and can then slide into the through-hole 3. Until the limiting frames 16 pass through the through-hole 3, the squeezing force disappears, and the compressed second spring 17 drives the two limiting frames 16 to reset under the limit of the stabilizing groove 15. The two reset limiting frames 16 are stuck on one side of the pedal bracket 2, and cooperate with the bent torsion spring body 5 to firmly install the torsion spring assembly on the pedal bracket 2. Achieve a stable installation effect, avoid the torsion spring assembly from loosening and falling off after long-term use, and thus achieve the effect of improving the stability of the torsion spring assembly.
