[0028] Example 1

[0029] like Figures 1-2 As shown, this embodiment proposes a reinforced spring brake chamber, which includes a cylinder body 1 and a front end cover 2. The cylinder body 1 includes a first annular wall 101 and a second annular wall 102 arranged coaxially. The second annular wall 102 is used to assemble and connect with the front end cover 2. Along the radial direction of the cylinder body 1, the wall thickness of the second annular wall 102 is greater than the wall thickness of the first annular wall 101, and the wall thickness of the second annular wall 102 is configured to a preset thickness.

[0030] In the prior art, spring brake chambers are installed on vehicles to generate braking force for the vehicle; for example, a self-sealing diaphragm integral riveted spring brake chamber is disclosed in patent document CN110094443A.

[0031] Through long observation and testing, the technical personnel found that the front end cover of the spring brake chamber is usually installed on the vehicle through fasteners, and when the spring brake chamber generates braking force, the push disc assembly extends outward to give the brake disc braking force. In this process, the brake disc also gives the push disc assembly a reaction force, which is transmitted to the junction between the front end cover and the cylinder body. The strength of the part of the cylinder body at this junction is not enough, causing the part of the cylinder body at this junction to deform frequently, and even break.

[0032] Therefore, the technical problem existing in the prior art is how to increase the stress strength of the part of the cylinder body at the junction of the front end cover and the cylinder body.

[0033] In the embodiment, the part of the cylinder body at the junction of the front end cover and the cylinder body is the second annular wall body 102 proposed in the embodiment. In order to increase the stress strength of the second annular wall body 102, the wall thickness of the second annular wall body 102 is greater than the wall thickness of the first annular wall body 101, and the wall thickness of the second annular wall body 102 is configured as a preset thickness, which can be configured or adjusted according to specific conditions without limitation. In the case where the wall thickness of the first annular wall body 101 is consistent with the wall thickness of the cylinder body in the prior art, the wall thickness of the second annular wall body 102 in the embodiment is greater than the wall thickness of the part of the cylinder body at the junction of the front end cover and the cylinder body in the prior art. The embodiment increases the wall thickness of the part of the cylinder body at the junction of the front end cover and the cylinder body by increasing the wall thickness of the second annular wall body 102, thereby increasing the stress strength of the part of the cylinder body at the junction of the front end cover and the cylinder body. Therefore, the embodiment solves the technical problem existing in the prior art.

[0034] Further, the second annular wall body 102 is used to assemble and connect with the front end cover 2 as mentioned above. Specifically, the second annular wall body 102 and the front end cover 2 are connected by pressure riveting. This pressure riveting method is also described in the prior art CN110094443A, which will not be repeated here.

[0035] As Figure 2As shown, according to the description in CN110094443A, the press riveting process is applied to the present embodiment, and it is known that during the press riveting process, a step needs to use a press riveting tool to give an action force F to the second annular wall body 102 along the first direction, so that the edge of the second annular wall body 102 is deformed and wrapped around the edge of the front end cover 2, and then the riveting is formed; the first direction is the axial direction from the front end cover 2 to the first annular wall body 101, and during this process, the action force F always acts on the second annular wall body 102, so that the second annular wall body 102 is axially stressed for a long time, and the riveting action force F is usually large, which can cause the second annular wall body 102 to easily deform axially along the first direction. Therefore, how to avoid the axial deformation of the second annular wall body 102 during the riveting process is a technical problem to be solved.

[0036] The present embodiment also includes the following technical solutions: the inner wall diameter of the second annular wall body 102 is greater than the inner wall diameter of the first annular wall body 101; the cylinder body 1 further includes an annular stepped portion 103, the first annular wall body 101 and the second annular wall body 102 are connected through the annular stepped portion 103, and at least a part of the annular stepped portion 103 extends along the radial direction of the cylinder body 1.

[0037] The present embodiment proposes the annular stepped portion 103, at least a part of the annular stepped portion 103 extends along the radial direction of the cylinder body 1, and during the press riveting process, a tool block is used to resist the part of the annular stepped portion 103 extending along the radial direction of the cylinder body 1 along the second direction opposite to the first direction. The tool block is fixed, and then the tool block gives the second annular wall body 102 an equal and opposite action force F' to the direction of the press riveting action force F, that is, the annular stepped portion 103 is provided to give the tool block a supporting surface, and the tool block is used to offset the press riveting action force F through the annular stepped portion 103, so as to avoid the axial deformation of the second annular wall body 102 during the riveting process. Therefore, the present embodiment also solves the technical problem of how to avoid the axial deformation of the second annular wall body 102 during the riveting process.

[0038] Further, the embodiment further comprises the following technical scheme: the front end cover 2 is provided with a through hole 6 at one end away from the cylinder body 1, and a wide head bolt 7, the head of the wide head bolt 7 is inseparable from being limited in the space surrounded by the front end cover 2 and the cylinder body 1, the rod of the wide head bolt 7 passes through the through hole 6 and is limited outside the combination of the front end cover 2 and the cylinder body 1; the head of the wide head bolt 7 comprises a connecting portion 701, a first narrow portion 702 and a second narrow portion 703, along the axial direction of the wide head bolt 7, the minimum thickness of the first narrow portion 702 and the minimum thickness of the second narrow portion 703 are respectively smaller than the minimum thickness of the connecting portion 701, the connecting portion 701 is located between the first narrow portion 702 and the second narrow portion 703 and is connected with the first narrow portion 702 and the second narrow portion 703 respectively; the connecting portion 701, the first narrow portion 702 and the second narrow portion 703 are respectively welded with the inner wall of the front end cover 2.

[0039] As Figure 3 shown, it is a structure schematic diagram of the prior art of the wide head bolt and the front end cover welding, in the prior art, the head of the wide head bolt is square, along the axial direction of the wide head bolt, the thickness of each part of the head is consistent, in the welding process of the head of the wide head bolt and the inner wall of the front end cover, the height of the gap between the head of the wide head bolt and the inner wall of the front end cover is equal to the thickness of the head of the wide head bolt, and usually the gap is very narrow, the welding rod cannot be inserted into the gap, only the welding rod can be heated at the upper opening of the gap, the melted welding rod flows into the gap and gradually fills the gap to complete the welding, this process usually lasts for 3-5s or even longer, which causes the part of the head of the wide head bolt in contact with the welding rod to be continuously subjected to high temperature, and this part will be overburned, causing the part to be damaged.

[0040] As Figure 4 , Figure 5 shown, in the embodiment, the head of the wide head bolt 7 comprises the connecting portion 701, the first narrow portion 702 and the second narrow portion 703 connected with each other, along the axial direction of the wide head bolt 7, the minimum thickness of the first narrow portion 702 and the minimum thickness of the second narrow portion 703 are respectively smaller than the minimum thickness of the connecting portion 701; in the embodiment, preferably, the minimum thickness of the first narrow portion 702 is equal to the minimum thickness of the second narrow portion 703.

[0041] In the thickness of the connecting portion 701, equal to the thickness of the head of the wide head bolt in the prior art, the minimum thickness of the first narrowed portion 702 and the minimum thickness of the second narrowed portion 703 are both smaller than the thickness of the head of the wide head bolt in the prior art; this results in that, in the process of welding the wide head bolt 7 and the front end cover 2 using the embodiment, the minimum height of the gap between the head of the wide head bolt 7 and the inner wall of the front end cover 2 is equal to the length of the minimum thickness of the first narrowed portion 702 or the length of the minimum thickness of the second narrowed portion 703, that is, in the embodiment, the minimum height of the gap between the head of the wide head bolt 7 and the inner wall of the front end cover 2 is smaller than that in the prior art, and when the welding rod is welded, the welding rod only needs to heat the gap for a short time, for example, about 1s, and the molten solder is enough to fill the gap with the minimum height between the head of the wide head bolt 7 and the inner wall of the front end cover 2, so compared with the prior art, the embodiment shortens the heating time of the welding rod in the process of welding the head of the wide head bolt 7 and the inner wall of the front end cover 2, and effectively avoids the phenomenon of overburning of the head of the wide head bolt.

[0042] Further, since the minimum height of the gap between the head of the wide head bolt 7 and the inner wall of the front end cover 2 in the embodiment is smaller than that in the prior art, the occurrence of the virtual welding condition can also be avoided.

[0043] Embodiment 2

[0045] The above embodiments only express several implementation manners of the utility model, and the description is more specific and detailed, but it cannot be understood as the limitation of the patent range of the utility model. It should be pointed out that, for ordinary skilled persons in the art, without departing from the concept of the utility model, a number of modifications and improvements can be made, which all belong to the protection range of the utility model.
