TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The utility model relates to a middle shaft brake, concretely relates to a piston sealing structure for AMT gearbox middle shaft brake and AMT gearbox middle shaft brake. BACKGROUND
[0002] With the rapid development of the automobile industry, people have higher and higher requirements for the driving comfort, cost and efficiency of commercial vehicles. At present, some vehicles matching the electrically controlled mechanical automatic transmission on the market are prone to problems such as long starting time, starting jitter, long gear shifting time and gear shifting jerk. In the running process of the vehicle, the middle shaft brake will directly affect the gear shifting comfort and gear shifting time of the vehicle, and it is urgent to improve it.
[0003] For the above problems, Chinese patent CN115182944A discloses a middle shaft brake sealing positioning structure, see Figure 1 which comprises a brake cylinder 2, a brake piston 1 arranged in the brake cylinder 2, a gas pipe 3 arranged at one end of the brake cylinder 2 and connected in communication with a high-pressure gas source inside the gearbox, and a gas ring 4, a support ring 5 and an oil ring 6 respectively sleeved and clamped on the side of the brake piston 1 and close to the end face of one end of the brake cylinder 2 through the first groove 41, the second groove 51 and the third groove 61 arranged on the side of the brake piston 1, and the gas ring 4, the support ring 5 and the oil ring 6 are arranged in order from near to far from the end face of one end of the brake cylinder 2; the gas ring 4, the support ring 5 and the oil ring 6 are arranged in contact with the brake cylinder 2. The gas ring 4 and the oil ring 6 are both K-shaped sealing rings with single lip. The gas ring 4 and the support ring 5 arranged in the sealing positioning structure effectively prevent gas from the whole vehicle from entering the inside of the transmission from the side of the brake piston 1, and at the same time prevent the transmission oil from entering the inside of the brake piston 1 and the brake cylinder 2, and the support ring 5 effectively realizes the positioning and support of the brake piston 1 and the brake cylinder 2, avoiding the wear caused by the direct contact of the brake piston 1 and the brake cylinder cover, and effectively reducing the impurities in the cylinder. The sealing positioning structure has the beneficial effects of reasonable design, convenient installation, good sealing effect and effective improvement of the braking effect of the middle shaft brake. However, the patent has the following deficiencies: in the actual application process of the product, a large amount of metal abrasion exists in the gearbox oil, and the metal abrasion will move to the space between the oil ring 6 and the brake cylinder 2 during the reciprocating motion of the brake piston, and since the oil ring 6 of the brake is generally made of rubber, its hardness is lower than that of the metal abrasion, so the lip sealing ring of the rubber oil ring is prone to failure, which causes the oil in the gearbox to enter other electronic components, and the gearbox gear shifting is prone to abnormality, and if the traditional K-shaped sealing ring is used for the oil ring 6, the abrasion will be more serious.
