Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of electromagnetic brake device, especially to a coupling for electromagnetic brake. BACKGROUND

[0002] As a key component in mechanical transmission system, the coupling plays an important role in connecting two shafts in different mechanisms, ensuring the two shafts can rotate synchronously and efficiently transmit torque. In the typical structure of electromagnetic brake device, it is usually composed of a coupling, a tail plate, a friction plate, a release column, an electromagnetic coil, a spring, and a clutch plate. The working mechanism is that the friction plate is installed outside the coupling, and the coupling is connected with the transmission shaft of the power device. When the electromagnetic coil is in the power-off state, the clutch plate loses the electromagnetic attraction of the electromagnetic coil and is pressed against the electromagnetic brake mounting plate by the spring, fixing the coupling and preventing it from rotating due to inertia after the power is off, thus playing the role of brake and brake.

[0003] However, it cannot be ignored that the current electromagnetic brake device has many drawbacks in actual application, especially in the use of electric wheelchairs, electric vehicles and other electric mobility devices. The noise generated by the connection of the electromagnetic brake and the motor brings a very bad experience to the user. When the electromagnetic brake is in the release state, the connecting shaft of the power device will drive the coupling and the friction plate to rotate synchronously. In this process, the outer wall of the coupling continuously rubs against the inner wall of the friction plate. Due to the unstable gap between the coupling and the friction plate, the noise not only affects the comfort of the user, but also the dynamic balance of the long-term rotating friction plate is unstable, which will rub against the clutch plate and the mounting plate of the electromagnetic brake. High-intensity friction will cause the friction plate to wear out quickly, greatly shortening its normal service life. This not only increases the frequency of equipment maintenance, but also significantly increases the maintenance cost and the frequency of component replacement, which has a negative impact on the stable operation of the equipment and the overall economic benefit.

[0004] In the utility model with application number 201821203978.8, an automatic self-aligning coupling and its electromagnetic brake are disclosed. The side surface of the coupling body is provided with a groove, and a first compression spring is arranged in the groove. A steel ball is riveted in the groove and abuts against the first compression spring. During the rotation of the coupling body, the steel ball can reduce the friction between the coupling body and the friction plate. Although this can solve the problem of noise caused by the friction between the coupling and the friction plate, the first compression spring has a short service life and needs to be frequently maintained. Therefore, the coupling also needs to be frequently maintained. In addition, since the steel ball is riveted to the coupling body, frequent maintenance may cause the riveting part of the coupling to fail, causing the steel ball and the first compression spring to separate from the coupling body, and thus the coupling and the friction plate continue to rub and produce noise.
