Detailed Implementation
[0038] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this utility model clearer, the technical solutions in the embodiments will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. The following embodiments are used to illustrate this utility model, but are not intended to limit the scope of this utility model.
[0039] In the description of this utility model, it should be noted that the terms "upper", "lower", "front", "rear", "left", "right", "inner", "outer", etc., indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings. They are only for the convenience of describing this utility model and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this utility model.
[0040] In the description of this utility model, it should be noted that, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," and "joining" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model based on the specific circumstances.
[0041] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 As shown, the existing parking brake caliper structure is as follows: including mounting nut 1, mounting bracket 2, sliding pin 3, locking nut 4, brake disc 5, caliper body 6, friction pad 7, adjusting bolt 8, brake piston 9, and adjusting nut 10.
[0042] The caliper body 6 is mounted on the mounting bracket 2 via two sliding pins 3, and secured to the back by two mounting nuts 1. Two friction plates 7 are mounted on the caliper body 6, and an adjusting bolt 8 is mounted on the caliper body 6 and secured with a locking nut 4 to prevent the friction plates 7 from dislodging under the action of the brake disc 5.
[0043] When the parking brake is applied, the parking brake piston 9 pushes the right friction pad 7 to press against the brake disc 5. Under the reaction force, the caliper body 6 moves to the right along the sliding pin 3, and the left friction pad 7 also presses against the brake disc, and the brake takes effect.
[0044] Upon initial installation or after wear of the friction pad 7, the brake clearance (the clearance between the friction pad 7 and one side of the brake disc 5) needs to be adjusted. This can be achieved by rotating the adjusting nut 10 to increase or decrease the brake clearance. Generally, the total brake clearance on both sides of the brake disc is 1.5-2 mm. In existing technology, after applying the adjusting nut 10, the brake clearance is usually not evenly distributed on both sides of the brake disc 5. It is necessary to intentionally push the caliper body 6 to move slightly on the sliding pin 3 to ensure a more even distribution of the brake clearance on both sides of the brake disc 5.
[0045] Due to factors such as machine vibration or insufficient installation precision, the brake clearance often remains on one side of the brake disc. This can easily cause brake drag or abnormal noise. This not only affects the service life of the friction pads, but more importantly, it impacts the overall braking safety of the machine.
[0046] like Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 , Figure 6 , Figure 7 As shown, this utility model provides a parking brake structure that maintains the braking clearance on both sides of a parking caliper, including a mounting bracket 2, a caliper body 6, a parking brake piston 9, an adjusting nut 10, a brake disc 5, and friction pads 7. The gap between one side of the friction pad 7 and the brake disc 5 is adjusted by the adjusting nut 10. It also includes a sliding pin 3, an elastic component 11, and an adjusting bolt 8. The sliding pin 3 passes through the side of the caliper body 6, with one end of its length serving as a connecting end for fixing it to the mounting bracket 2. The sliding pin 3 and the caliper body 6 are in clearance fit, allowing the caliper body to maintain the braking clearance on both sides. The caliper body 6 can move axially linearly along the sliding pin 3; the other end of the sliding pin 3 is a limiting end, and the elastic component 11 is installed on the sliding pin 3 located between the limiting end and the caliper body 6; the adjusting bolt 8 passes through the top of the caliper body 6 and is located above the friction plate 7. One end of the adjusting bolt 8 abuts against the mounting bracket 2 in the length direction. The adjusting bolt 8 is threadedly connected to the caliper body 6. By rotating the adjusting bolt 8, the caliper body 6 moves axially linearly on the sliding pin 3 under the action of the thread transmission, thereby adjusting the gap between the friction plate 7 on the other side and the brake disc 5.
[0047] It should be noted that the adjusting bolt 8 has two functions: firstly, to prevent the friction plate 7 from coming off, and secondly, to adjust the brake clearance.
[0048] The following provides a further explanation of the specific structure of the aforementioned sliding pin.
[0049] like Figure 5 As shown, the connecting end of the sliding pin 3 is a threaded end, which is screwed into the threaded hole of the mounting bracket 2. The limiting end of the sliding pin 3 is a flange structure; or, the limiting end of the sliding pin 3 is a flange structure, and a washer is fitted on the sliding pin 3 with the flange structure to increase the length in the radial direction.
[0050] Further options, such asFigure 3 , Figure 6 , Figure 7 As shown, the connecting end of the sliding pin 3 is provided with a mounting nut 1, and the sliding pin 3 is locked onto the mounting bracket 2 by tightening the mounting nut 1.
[0051] Further options, such as Figure 3 , Figure 6 , Figure 7 As shown, the adjusting bolt 8 between the mounting bracket 2 and the caliper body 6 is equipped with a locking nut 4, and the adjusting bolt 8 is fixed by tightening the locking nut 4.
[0052] Further options, such as Figure 3 , Figure 6 , Figure 7 As shown, the mounting plate 2 has a boss fixed at a position facing the adjusting bolt 8, and the end of the adjusting bolt 8 abuts against the boss.
[0053] In a preferred embodiment, a groove can be provided on the front end face of the boss, and the end of the adjusting bolt 8 can be inserted into the groove.
[0054] Further options, such as Figure 3 , Figure 6 , Figure 7 As shown, the elastic component 11 is a spring, which is fitted onto the sliding pin 3. One end of the spring abuts against the limiting end of the sliding pin 3, and the other end of the spring abuts against the caliper body 6.
[0055] Further options, such as Figure 3 , Figure 6 , Figure 7 As shown, there are two sliding pins 3, symmetrically arranged on the two sides of the caliper body 6; there is one adjusting bolt 8, located at the top center of the caliper body 6.
[0056] like Figure 3 Figure 6 Figure 7 Figure 3 As shown, the installation control dimensions for each of the above components are given below:
[0057] L1-(L2+L3)=(1.5-2)XΔ;
[0058] L1: The distance from the brake caliper mounting surface to the left side of the brake disc;
[0059] L2: Thickness of the mounting nut;
[0060] L3: Dimension from the left side of the caliper body to the left friction plate;
[0061] Δ: Braking clearance on one side.
[0062] L5≧L4+Δ;
[0063] L4: Thickness of the mounting nut;
[0064] L5: Thickness of the friction material in the friction pad.
[0065] The working process of the above parking brake structure is described below:
[0066] Brake caliper installation:
[0067] The elastic component 11 is fitted onto the head of the sliding pin 3, which passes through the caliper body 6. The locking nut 1 is first installed on the thread at the tail of the sliding pin 3. The above-mentioned mounting assembly is then installed on the mounting bracket 2. The sliding pin 3 is tightened to the specified preload torque, and the mounting nut 1 is tightened in the opposite direction. The adjusting bolt 8 is then screwed into the caliper body 6, and the locking nut 4 is tightened onto the adjusting bolt 8.
[0068] Brake clearance adjustment:
[0069] First, loosen the locking nut 4; rotate the adjusting nut 10 clockwise to make the brake clearance 0; then rotate the adjusting nut 10 counterclockwise to make the total brake clearance meet the design value; adjust the adjusting bolt 8, and when the tail of the adjusting bolt 8 hits the boss of the mounting bracket 2, the caliper body 6 moves to the right under the reaction force, and the clearance is evenly maintained on both sides of the brake disc.
[0070] As shown above, by designing the elastic component and mounting it with the sliding pin, the caliper body can move left and right along the sliding pin. By designing the connection method between the caliper body and the adjusting bolt, the caliper body can be controllably held at any position on the sliding pin under the reaction force of the adjusting bolt. This ensures precise distribution and stable maintenance of the brake clearance, avoiding the possibility of brake drag and abnormal noise. It also extends the service life of the friction pads and improves the overall braking safety.
