Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of brake wedge technology, and in particular to a vehicle brake wedge. Background Technology
[0002] When a vehicle is parked, especially on a slope, a wedge-shaped braking device is usually inserted at the rear of the wheels to prevent it from rolling away and to make the vehicle park more securely.
[0003] A utility model patent with publication number CN 221162695 U and publication date of June 18, 2024, discloses a parking wedge, including a body and an anti-slip plate. The body includes a bottom surface, a stopping surface, a connecting surface, and a support assembly. The support assembly includes multiple first ribs and multiple second ribs. The first ribs are spaced apart along a direction perpendicular to the interaction between the tire and the stopping surface, and the second ribs are spaced apart along the interaction direction between the tire and the stopping surface. The first ribs and the second ribs intersect and connect with each other, so that the support assembly forms a mesh structure with multiple weight-reducing through holes inside the body. Multiple grip strips are spaced apart on the bottom surface. A recessed groove is provided on the side of the bottom surface near the connecting surface, and the groove is inclined towards the stopping surface. One end of the anti-slip plate is embedded in the groove, and the other end of the anti-slip plate extends out of the groove and is provided with anti-slip teeth for gripping the ground.
[0004] This application features a lightweight design, a compact and stable structure, high load-bearing capacity, and strong resistance to slippage, offering advantages such as material saving, economic and environmental protection, and stability and durability.
[0005] However, there is a problem with the storage of this parking wedge: the overall structure of the parking wedge is a fixed whole, and it cannot be reduced in size or structure when stored. When the parking wedge is placed in the trunk of the vehicle, it will occupy a certain amount of space in terms of height. This means that when placing other items in the trunk, a certain amount of height space needs to be reserved for the parking wedge, which further makes the parking wedge inconvenient to carry and store.
[0006] Therefore, there is an urgent need for a vehicle brake wedge that can reduce the overall size when stored, making it convenient to store and carry. Utility Model Content
[0007] To address the aforementioned technical problems, this utility model provides a vehicle brake wedge, which solves the problem that the existing parking wedge has a fixed overall structure, which cannot be reduced in size or structure when stored. When the parking wedge is placed in the trunk of a vehicle, it occupies a certain amount of space in terms of height, requiring the trunk to make room for the parking wedge when placing other items, further causing inconvenience in carrying and storing it.
[0008] The above-mentioned technical objective of this utility model is achieved through the following technical solution:
[0009] A vehicle brake wedge includes a fixed plate, a stop plate, and a support plate. One end of the fixed plate is hinged to the stop plate, and the other end of the stop plate away from the fixed plate is hinged to the support plate. The other end of the support plate away from the stop plate can be engaged with the other end of the fixed plate. In use, the fixed plate, the stop plate, and the support plate are connected end to end to form a triangle. When stored, the support plate can be folded and stored between the fixed plate and the support plate, and all three are in a horizontal state.
[0010] The stop plate includes a connecting part and a stop part. The stop part is provided with a first reinforcing rib along the length direction. The first reinforcing rib protrudes along the force direction of the stop part.
[0011] One end of the support plate is provided with a support column, and the fixing plate is provided with a support opening at the position corresponding to the support column, the support opening being able to accommodate the support column;
[0012] The support plate is provided with an equal number of second reinforcing ribs at the position of the first reinforcing rib. The protrusion direction of the second reinforcing rib is opposite to that of the first reinforcing rib. The second reinforcing rib has a receiving opening along its length direction. The depth of the receiving opening is equal to the protrusion height of the first reinforcing rib. When the support plate is stored, the first reinforcing rib can be accommodated in the receiving opening.
[0013] Furthermore, one end of the fixing plate is provided with at least one first connecting ear, and the connecting part is provided with a first connecting port corresponding to the position of the first connecting ear, and the first connecting port is hinged to the first connecting ear.
[0014] Furthermore, at least one second connecting lug is provided at the end of the stop portion away from the connecting portion, and a second connecting port is provided at one end of the support plate corresponding to the position of the second connecting lug, and the second connecting port is hinged to the second connecting lug.
[0015] Furthermore, the stop portion and the connecting portion form an angle of 135 degrees.
[0016] Furthermore, one end of the fixing plate is provided with a support portion at an angle, the support opening is opened on the support portion, the end of the support portion away from the fixing plate is provided with a friction-enhancing portion, the friction-enhancing portion and the support portion are at a 60-degree angle, and the height of the friction-enhancing portion is greater than that of the support portion.
[0017] Furthermore, the friction-enhancing part is provided with multiple friction-enhancing fingers.
[0018] Furthermore, the fixed plate has an extension at the end away from the support opening, and a hanging hole is provided on the extension.
[0019] Furthermore, at least one protrusion is provided at the bottom of the extension.
[0020] In summary, the beneficial technical effects of this utility model are as follows:
[0021] When in use, insert the support post at one end of the support plate into the support opening at one end of the fixed plate. The fixed plate, stop plate, and support plate form a triangle and are wedged into the bottom of the wheel to brake and prevent the vehicle from slipping. When storing, pull the support post out from the back of the support and rotate the support plate inward along the second connecting ear. At this time, the support plate is located between the fixed plate and the stop plate, and all three are in a horizontal state. This reduces the overall height of the brake wedge. When storing, there is no need to reserve a large space for the brake wedge, and the stored brake wedge structure is more regular and easier to carry. Attached Figure Description

[0028] The present invention will now be described clearly and completely with reference to the embodiments.
[0029] It should be noted that all directional indicators (such as up, down, left, right, front, back, etc.) in this utility model embodiment are only used to explain the relative positional relationship and movement of each component in a certain specific posture (as shown in the figure). If the specific posture changes, the directional indicator will also change accordingly.
[0030] In the description of the embodiments, unless otherwise expressly specified and limited, the terms "set," "connect," etc., should be interpreted broadly. For example, it can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; it can be a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; it can be a direct connection or a connection through an intermediate medium, or it can be a connection within two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model based on the specific circumstances.
[0031] See appendix Figure 1-5 The diagram shows a vehicle brake wedge, comprising a fixed plate 1, a stop plate 3, and a support plate 2. One end of the fixed plate 1 is provided with two arc-shaped first connecting ears 8 stamped on it. At the same time, the fixed plate 1 is provided with an extension 18 at the end of the first connecting ears 8, and two protrusions 19 are provided at the bottom of the extension 18. When in use, the extension 18 is inserted into the bottom of the wheel 21. At this time, the gravity of the wheel 21 on the fixed plate 1 increases the pressure per unit area of the two protrusions 19, making the friction between the fixed plate 1 and the ground greater and the grip better, thus preventing the entire brake wedge from sliding outward under the action of the wheel 21.
[0032] One end of the stop plate 3 includes a connecting part 4 and a stop part 5, with an included angle of 135 degrees between the connecting part 4 and the stop part 5. The connecting part 4 has two first connecting ports 10 corresponding to the position of the first connecting ear 8. The stop plate 3 and the fixing plate 1 are hinged together through the cooperation of the first connecting ports 10 and the first connecting ears 8. The end of the stop part 5 away from the connecting part 4 has two second connecting ears 9 stamped on it. Additionally, one end of the support plate 2 has a second connecting port 11 corresponding to the position of the second connecting ears 9. The support plate 2 and the stop plate 3 are hinged together through the cooperation of the second connecting ports 11 and the second connecting ears 9.
[0033] Meanwhile, a support column 12 is provided at the end of the support plate 2 away from the second connecting port 11, and a support part 6 is provided at the end of the fixing plate 1 away from the first connecting ear 8. The support part 6 is provided with a support opening 13 corresponding to the position of the support column 12. The support opening 13 can accommodate the support column 12. When in use, the support column 12 on the support plate 2 is inserted into the support opening 13. At this time, the fixing plate 1, the support plate 2, and the stop plate 3 form a triangle and are wedged into the bottom of the wheel 21 to achieve braking, thereby avoiding the problem of vehicle slippage.
[0034] Meanwhile, when storing, the support column 12 is pulled out from the support port 13, and then the support plate 2 is rotated along the second connecting ear 9. At this time, the support plate 2 can be stored between the fixed plate 1 and the stop plate 3, and the three are in a horizontal state. In this way, the height of the entire brake wedge is reduced compared to that when in use, which is more conducive to storage and carrying.
[0035] Furthermore, in order to improve the structural strength of the entire brake wedge, two first reinforcing ribs 14 are stamped along the length direction on the stop portion 5. The two first reinforcing ribs 14 protrude along the direction of action of the wheel 21. At the same time, a second reinforcing rib 15 is stamped on the support plate 2 at the position corresponding to the first reinforcing ribs 14. The protrusion direction of the second reinforcing rib 15 is opposite to that of the first reinforcing rib 14. A receiving opening 16 is provided on the second reinforcing rib 15 along the length direction. The depth of the receiving opening 16 is equal to the protrusion height of the first reinforcing rib 14. When retracted, the first reinforcing rib 14 is just accommodated in the receiving opening 16. The receiving opening 16 avoids the interference between the first reinforcing rib 14 and the second reinforcing rib 15 when retracted, thereby reducing the height of the entire brake wedge after retraction.
[0036] Furthermore, in order to improve the stability of the entire brake wedge during use, a friction-enhancing part 7 is provided at one end of the support part 6. The friction-enhancing part 7 is at a 60-degree angle to the support part 6, and the height of the friction-enhancing part 7 is greater than that of the support part 6. The friction-enhancing part is provided with multiple friction-enhancing fingers 17. In this way, when in use, the friction-enhancing part 7 first contacts the ground and can provide a force opposite to the force of the wheel 21 to the entire brake wedge, so as to prevent the brake wedge from slipping out when subjected to force.
[0037] As a type of vehicle brake wedge, the fixing plate 1 has a hook hole 20 on the extension 18, which can be used to vertically hook the entire brake wedge when it is stored.
[0038] See appendix for usage. Figure 4 Insert the support post 12 on the support plate 2 into the support opening 13, so that the fixed plate 1, support plate 2, and stop plate 3 form a triangle. Then, by inserting the extension 18 on the fixed plate 1 into the bottom of the wheel 21, the pressure of the wheel 21 on the protrusion 19 increases the friction between the fixed plate 1 and the ground, thus firmly wedging the entire brake wedge at the rear end of the wheel 21 to perform a braking function. When retracting, pull the support post 12 out of the support opening 13, and rotate the support plate 2 in the opposite direction along the second hinge ear, and retract it between the fixed plate 1 and the stop plate 3. See Appendix for details. Figure 5 As shown, the fixing plate 1, the stop plate 3 and the support plate 2 are in a horizontal state, and the first reinforcing rib 14 is stored in the receiving opening 16, which reduces the height of the brake wedge and makes it easier to store and carry.
[0039] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the scope of protection of the present utility model. Therefore, all equivalent changes made to the structure, shape and principle of the present utility model should be included within the scope of protection of the present utility model.
