In this specification, the illustrative expressions of the above terms do not necessarily refer to the same embodiment or example. Furthermore, the specific features, structures, materials, or characteristics described may be combined in any suitable manner in one or more embodiments or examples.

[0029] The present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments, but the present invention is not limited to the following embodiments.

[0030] Example 1:

[0031] See attached Figures 1-4A brake shoe designed to prevent stress concentration at the brake shoe nose includes a brake shoe back 1 and a friction body 2 connected to the inner side of the brake shoe back 1. The brake shoe back 1 has an outwardly protruding brake shoe nose 3 at its center. The brake shoe nose 3 has a limiting contact structure and two symmetrically arranged mounting side holes 4 on its left and right sides. The limiting contact structure is located on the top surface of the brake shoe nose 3 and is used to limit the contact of the brake shoe pin 6, which passes through both mounting side holes 4 to assemble the brake shoe and brake shoe support 5, preventing direct contact between the outer surface of the brake shoe pin 6 and the side of any mounting side hole 4 closest to the top surface of the brake shoe nose 3 after assembly. From the above structure, it can be seen that a brake shoe generally consists of a brake shoe back 1 and a friction body 2. The brake shoe back 1, as the core supporting frame of the brake shoe, can be made of various metal materials with sufficient mechanical strength, such as steel plates. The friction body 2 is composed of adhesive, reinforcing, and friction materials. It is connected to the inner side of the brake shoe back 1 via existing methods such as bonding or mechanical fastening. It provides contact friction to the wheels of railway freight cars, thus achieving a braking effect. The brake shoe nose 3 serves as the connection between the brake shoe and the brake shoe holder, transmitting braking force and maintaining the brake shoe's stable position. The brake shoe nose 3 is located in the center of the brake shoe back 1 and protrudes outwards. Two mounting side holes 4 are symmetrically located on the left and right sides of the brake shoe nose 3, allowing the brake shoe pin 6 to pass through, thereby connecting and fixing the brake shoe to the brake shoe holder 5. In existing brake shoes, after assembly with the brake shoe holder 5, the side of the mounting side hole 4 near the top surface of the brake shoe nose 3 will come into contact with and rub against the brake shoe pin 6, and will be continuously subjected to force, resulting in stress concentration. However, in this utility model, while ensuring that the existing brake shoe mounting interface size remains unchanged, the contact method between the brake shoe pin 6 and the brake shoe nose 3 is changed. The limiting contact structure provided on the top surface of the brake shoe nose 3 makes contact with the brake shoe pin 6 to limit the contact. This prevents the outer side of the assembled brake shoe pin 6 from directly contacting any side of the mounting side hole 4 near the top surface of the brake shoe nose 3. This effectively avoids the situation where the brake shoe nose breaks due to stress concentration during actual operation, thus preventing the brake shoe from falling off and ensuring the safety of driving.

[0032] Example 2:

[0033] See attached Figures 1-6 Based on Embodiment 1, the limiting contact structure is an inwardly recessed arc-shaped reinforcing rib 31 located on the top surface of the tile nose 3; the cross-section of the arc-shaped reinforcing rib 31 is arc-shaped; the height of the lowest point of the arc-shaped reinforcing rib 31 is lower than the side height of the mounting side hole 4 near the top surface of the tile nose 3. From the above structure, it can be seen that, according to... Figure 1As shown in Figure a, the cross-section of the arc-shaped reinforcing rib 31 is an inwardly concave arc shape. This invention provides an arc-shaped reinforcing rib 31 on the top surface of the brake shoe nose 3, which on the one hand strengthens the overall structural strength of the brake shoe nose 3. When the brake shoe pin 6 is inserted into the two mounting side holes 4 of the brake shoe nose 3, the lowest point of the arc-shaped reinforcing rib 31 will directly contact and bear force with the outer surface of the brake shoe pin 6, ensuring the reliability of the connection. On the other hand, since the height of the lowest point of the arc-shaped reinforcing rib 31 is lower than the side height of the mounting side hole 4 near the top surface of the brake shoe nose 3, the arc-shaped reinforcing rib 31 can also limit the height of the outer surface of the brake shoe pin 6 after it enters the two mounting side holes 4. This ensures that the outer surface portion of the brake shoe pin 6 located in the two mounting side holes 4 does not directly contact the side of the mounting side hole 4 near the top surface of the brake shoe nose 3, but leaves a certain gap, thereby preventing stress concentration near the mounting side holes 4.

[0034] The height difference between the lowest point of the arc-shaped reinforcing rib 31 and the side edge of the mounting side hole 4 near the top surface of the brake shoe nose 3 is 2mm-3mm. As can be seen from the above structure, the height of the lowest point of the arc-shaped reinforcing rib 31 is slightly lower than the side edge of the mounting side hole 4 near the top surface of the brake shoe nose 3. This is to prevent the brake shoe pin 6 from directly contacting the side edge of the mounting side hole 4 near the top surface of the brake shoe nose 3 after assembly. The height difference between the two can be specifically adapted to the brake shoe model. For example, the height difference between the lowest point of the arc-shaped reinforcing rib 31 and the side edge of the mounting side hole 4 near the top surface of the brake shoe nose 3 can preferably be 2mm, 2.5mm, or 3mm.

[0035] The cross-section of the arc-shaped reinforcing rib 31 is semi-circular. As can be seen from the above structure, the curvature of the arc surface of the arc-shaped reinforcing rib 31 can be adaptively set according to the actual shape and size of the brake shoe pin 6 when the brake shoe and brake shoe holder 5 are assembled. Specifically, the curvature of the arc-shaped reinforcing rib 31 can be set to 180 degrees, that is, the cross-section of the arc-shaped reinforcing rib 31 is semi-circular.

[0036] The arc-shaped reinforcing rib 31 is located in the middle of the top surface of the tile nose 3. As can be seen from the above structure, the arc-shaped reinforcing rib 31 is located in the middle of the top surface of the tile nose 3, and the center point of the top surface of the tile nose 3 and the lowest point of the arc-shaped reinforcing rib 31 are on the same straight line. This ensures that after the arc-shaped reinforcing rib 31 bears the load, it can evenly distribute the stress to the surrounding area of ​​the top surface of the tile nose 3.

[0037] Example 3:

[0038] See attached Figures 1-6Based on Embodiment 2, the top surface of the tile nose 3 is flat; the connections between the top surface of the tile nose 3 and its left side, and between the top surface of the tile nose 3 and its right side, are all made using rounded transitions. As can be seen from the above structure, using rounded transitions at the connections between the top surface of the tile nose 3 and its left side, and between the top surface of the tile nose 3 and its right side, can eliminate stress concentration at sharp corners and increase the overall structural reliability.

[0039] The mounting side hole 4 is a rectangular through hole. As can be seen from the above structure, the mounting side hole 4 is designed as a rectangular through hole to match the shape of the brake shoe pin 6.

[0040] In the mounting side hole 4, the connection between two adjacent sides is made by a rounded transition. As can be seen from the above structure, the connection between two adjacent sides of the mounting side hole 4 is made by a rounded transition, which also increases the overall structural reliability of the mounting side hole 4.

[0041] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and does not limit the patent scope of the present utility model. Any equivalent structural or procedural transformations made based on the content of the present utility model specification and drawings, or direct or indirect applications in other related technical fields, are similarly included within the patent protection scope of the present utility model.
