Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of brake accessories, in particular to a connection structure between a brake camshaft and a rocker arm. Background Art
[0002] The brakes used on existing bicycles or electric scooters are generally hub brakes or expansion brakes. During braking, the camshaft is rotated by the rocker arm, causing the brake shoe assembly to rotate and open around the camshaft to achieve the braking effect. The connection structure between the camshaft and the rocker arm is an important matching structure. For example, CN114294352A discloses a sealed and waterproof safety drum brake, which transmits braking torque by providing adaptive transmission teeth on the rocker arm and camshaft. However, due to structural limitations, the tooth shape and size of this matching transmission structure are limited, so the contact bearing force between the teeth is limited, and the rotational torque it can withstand is also small. The braking reaction force during braking can easily cause the contact teeth to be deformed or damaged under the reverse impact, or even worn flat. Ultimately, the shoe cannot be pushed to open for braking, causing safety accidents during the operation of the electric vehicle.
[0003] With the improvement of modern manufacturing technology and the increasing braking requirements of national standard vehicles, the automated assembly and mechanical properties of product components must meet actual needs. Therefore, a reliable and practical connection method is urgently needed that can adapt to modern production and customer needs. Utility Model Content
[0004] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, the present invention provides a connection structure between a brake camshaft and a rocker arm. This structure not only meets the increased torque requirements of brake transmissions and effectively prevents damage due to impact, but also facilitates rapid assembly, improves connection precision, eliminates gaps in the connection, and meets the needs of modern automated assembly. This solves the problem that the existing tooth-to-tooth connection between the brake rocker arm and camshaft can withstand low rotational torque, and the braking reaction force during braking can easily cause the contact teeth to deform or be damaged under the reverse impact force, thus affecting safe driving.
[0005] In order to achieve the above objectives, this application adopts the following technical solutions.
[0006] The utility model is a connection structure between a brake camshaft and a rocker arm, comprising a camshaft inserted into a mounting hole of a brake box assembly and a rocker arm adapted to be fixed to one side of the brake box assembly with one end of the camshaft, the other end of the camshaft abutting against the brake opening and closing end of a shoe assembly, a position limiting and anti-error mechanism is provided between the camshaft and the rocker arm, the position limiting and anti-error mechanism comprising: a position limiting connection hole provided at one end of the rocker arm and an anti-rotation boss provided on the camshaft and adapted to the position limiting connection hole.

[0008] A further improvement is that the maximum outer diameter of the anti-rotation boss is smaller than the outer diameter of the pivoting portion and larger than the maximum outer diameter of the connecting portion.
[0009] A further improvement is that the anti-rotation boss is provided with a plurality of anti-error positioning parts and a plurality of driving force transmission parts connected with each other in a center-symmetrical manner at intervals.
[0010] A further improvement is that the anti-rotation boss is provided by a misalignment-proof positioning portion and a plurality of driving force transmission portions which are centrally symmetrically connected.
[0011] A further improvement is that the anti-error positioning portion is configured as a tooth structure or a spline structure, and the toggle force transmission portion is configured as a planar structure connected to the tooth structure or the spline structure.
[0012] A further improvement is that the camshaft also includes a fixed base arranged between the cam shifting part and the pivoting part, the fixed base is a circular structure and is coaxially arranged with the pivoting part, and the cross-section of the cam shifting part is set as a centrally symmetrical oblong structure or a semicircular structure.
[0013] Further improvements are: the limiting connection hole is arranged at one end of the rocker arm, and the other end of the rocker arm is also provided with a parallel bending reinforcement part, the bending reinforcement part and the rocker arm are provided with a through brake line mounting hole, and the limiting connection hole is provided with an anti-error positioning part and a toggle force transmission part adapted to the anti-rotation boss.
[0014] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:
[0015] 1. By setting limit error prevention mechanisms on the camshaft and rocker arm, the assembly efficiency is improved and the needs of automated production are met;
[0016] 2.

The anti-error positioning portion is configured as a toothed structure or a spline structure to improve the connection accuracy of the camshaft and rocker arm, eliminate connection gaps, and ensure transmission reliability.
[0017] 3. The toothed structure also prevents the camshaft and the rocker arm from generating a movement gap during the operation process, making the connection more stable, firm and reliable. At the same time, there is no need to constantly change or adjust the rocker arm assembly direction or angle during assembly, thereby improving assembly efficiency and having a good error prevention and correction effect.
