[0029] The technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.
[0030] This embodiment provides a split friction brake, such as Figures 1-4 As shown, the split friction brake includes a pressure plate 1 fixedly installed on the equipment, a friction disc 2 fixedly installed on one side of the pressure plate 1 and sleeved on the outside of the equipment's extension shaft, a friction pad 3 fixedly installed on the friction disc 2, a push plate 4 installed on the side of the friction disc 2 away from the pressure plate 1 and moving axially along the equipment's extension shaft, and a drive member 5 installed outside the push plate 4 and the friction disc 2 for moving the push plate 4 closer to or away from the friction pad 3; the split friction brake also includes a screw 6 installed on the drive member 5 for connecting the push plate 4 and the drive member 5, and a return spring 7 installed inside the drive member 5 and preloaded by the screw 6 for pressing the push plate 4 against the friction pad 3 in a natural state.
[0031] When in use, under natural state, the push disc 4 is pushed and pressed on the friction plate 3 of the friction disc 2 due to the elastic force generated by the pre-pressing of the reset spring 7 through the screw 6, at this time, the brake is in the combined state, i.e. the normally closed state, and the rotation of the equipment extension shaft can be effectively limited by the friction force between the friction plate 3 and the push disc 4, which is suitable for the working condition that needs to keep braking for a long time. When the driving part 5 is aerated, the gas enters the inside of the driving part 5 to generate pressure to push the push disc 4 to move closer to the friction plate 3 and press the friction plate 3, so as to enhance the friction force between them and realize the combination of the brake, so that the brake is in the braking state. When the driving part 5 is de-aerated, the pressure in the inside of the driving part 5 disappears, at this time, the driving part 5 drives the push disc 4 to move away from the friction plate 3 against the elastic force of the reset spring 7, so as to realize the separation of the push disc 4 and the friction plate 3 and make the brake in the open state, so that the equipment extension shaft can rotate freely. Then, under the elastic force of the reset spring 7, the push disc 4 is pushed and pressed on the friction plate 3 again, so that the brake returns to the combined state and the rotation of the equipment extension shaft is limited again.
[0032] Specifically, the driving part 5 includes a cylinder body 51 arranged outside the push disc 4 and the friction disc 2, a piston ring 53 slidably connected in the cylinder body 51 for pushing the push disc 4 to move, an air inlet hole 52 arranged on the cylinder body 51, and an air chamber 54 arranged between the cylinder body 51 and the piston ring 53 and communicated with the air inlet hole 52, and the piston ring 53 and the push disc 4 are fixedly connected.
[0033] Under natural state, the push disc 4 is pressed on the friction plate 3 by the reset spring 7 pre-pressed through the screw 6, so that the brake is in the combined state. When the air is aerated from the air inlet hole 52 of the cylinder body 51, the gas enters the air chamber 54 communicated with the air inlet hole 52, the pressure in the air chamber 54 increases, the piston ring 53 slidably connected in the cylinder body 51 is driven to move towards the push disc 4, and the piston ring 53 drives the push disc 4 to move further close to the friction plate 3 in the process. In this process, the push disc 4 drives the screw 6 to compress the reset spring 7 towards the side close to the friction plate 3, and after the push disc 4 is pressed and combined with the friction plate 3, a strong friction force is generated to realize the braking function of the brake. When the air source is disconnected, the pressure in the air chamber 54 disappears, at this time, under the elastic force recovery of the reset spring 7, the push disc 4 moves away from the friction plate 3 and drives the piston ring 53 to reset, so as to realize the separation of the push disc 4 and the friction plate 3 and make the brake open. At this time, the movement of the push disc 4 drives the screw 6 to compress the reset spring 7 away from the friction plate 3, and after the push disc 4 stops moving, the reset spring 7 again drives the push disc 4 to move close to and press the friction plate 3 under the elastic force recovery, so that the brake returns to the combined state.
[0034] In order to ensure sealing, a sealing ring 531 is fixedly arranged between the outer wall of the piston ring 53 and the inner wall of the cylinder body 51; the design of the sealing ring 531 ensures the sealing between the cylinder body 51 and the piston ring 53, so as to prevent gas leakage and ensure the stable work of the brake.
[0035] Further, the driving member 5 further comprises at least four boss structures 55 fixedly arranged on the outer wall of the push disc 4 and a groove structure 56 opened in the cylinder body 51 for sliding guiding of the boss structures 55;
[0036] When the driving member 5 works, the piston ring 53 pushes the push disc 4 to move or reset the push disc 4, and the boss structures 55 on the outer wall of the push disc 4 slide along the groove structure 56 of the cylinder body 51; through the cooperation of the boss structures 55 and the groove structure 56, the movement of the push disc 4 can be guided, the accurate movement of the push disc 4 along the equipment extending shaft is ensured, and the rotation of the push disc 4 is limited, so that the combination and separation precision of the brake is improved.
[0037] Further, the cylinder body 51 is provided with a spring mounting hole 511, the reset spring 7 is pre-pressed in the spring mounting hole 511 through the screw 6, and the end of the screw 6 away from the spring mounting hole 511 is screwed with the push disc 4;
[0038] In the natural state, the screw 6 is screwed with the push disc 4, the reset spring 7 is pre-pressed in the spring mounting hole 511, the reset spring 7 is compressed to the side away from the friction plate 3, then under the elastic recovery of the reset spring 7, the elastic force can directly act on the push disc 4 and push the push disc 4 to compress the friction plate 3, so that the brake is in the combined state; when the brake is braked, the push disc 4 drives the screw 6 to compress the reset spring 7 in the spring mounting hole 511 to the side close to the friction plate 3, so as to provide elastic force when the air is cut off; when the air is cut off, the piston ring 53 and the push disc 4 move away from the friction plate 3 under the elastic recovery of the reset spring 7, with the movement of the push disc 4, the screw 6 is driven to compress the reset spring 7 in the spring mounting hole 511 to the side away from the friction plate 3, so as to separate the push disc 4 and the friction plate 3, so that the brake is opened, then the push disc 4 stops moving, the push disc 4 is driven to move close to and compress the friction plate 3 under the elastic recovery of the reset spring 7, so that the brake returns to the combined state.
[0039] In addition, in order to facilitate the connection of the friction disc 2 and the equipment extension shaft, the friction disc 2 is provided with a coupling hole 21, and the friction disc 2 is fixedly sleeved on the equipment extension shaft through the coupling hole 21; the coupling hole 21 is designed so that the friction disc 2 can be directly sleeved on the equipment extension shaft, and fixed connection is achieved through the close fit of the shaft and the hole. This design simplifies the connection process of the friction disc 2 and the equipment extension shaft, improves the installation efficiency, and at the same time ensures the stability of the connection.
[0040] It can be understood that, in order to further facilitate the connection of the friction disc 2 and the equipment extension shaft, the coupling hole 21 is hexagonal or splined; the coupling hole 21 is designed to be hexagonal or splined, which provides a larger contact area and better torsional performance to improve the connection strength, installation accuracy and transmission stability, and is suitable for different torque working conditions.
[0041] The above is only the preferred specific embodiment of the present application, but the protection scope of the present application is not limited to this. Any person skilled in the art can make equivalent replacements or changes to the technical solution and concept of the present application within the technical scope disclosed by the present application, which should be covered within the protection scope of the present application.
