Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of wedge brake self-adjustment technology, and in particular to a dust cover for a wedge brake self-adjustment. Background Technology

[0002] In China, wedge brakes are mainly used in heavy vehicles and construction machinery, and most adopt an air brake structure. The self-adjusting mechanism is the core component of the wedge brake. It is responsible for transmitting the vehicle's braking force to the brake drum and automatically eliminating excessive clearance when wear causes it between the brake drum and the friction pads, maintaining a constant braking force. It is installed inside the brake drum at the rear axle wheel end, in a harsh working environment. Dust generated by the friction between the friction pads and the brake drum, as well as external mud and water, can enter the self-adjusting mechanism, causing grease failure, movement stagnation, and ultimately leading to abnormal operation or even failure of the self-adjusting mechanism, posing a significant safety hazard to the vehicle. The sealing capability of the dust cover is a crucial protective feature.

[0003] The self-adjusting actuator has a dust cover at each end, one end fitting into the housing and the other into the movable push rod. During installation, the metal frame of the dust cover is exposed and has an interference fit with the inner hole of the housing. The metal frame is made of thin steel plate and has a certain roundness error. Therefore, a gap is inevitable after fitting with the inner hole of the housing. Water and fine dust can seep into the self-adjusting actuator, causing lubrication failure, movement stagnation, poor sealing, and the entry of foreign objects. At the same time, the frame is made of thin steel plate and has a large outer diameter tolerance and roundness, making it difficult to control the interference fit with the inner hole of the housing. This easily leads to assembly difficulties and insufficient interference fit, resulting in poor sealing and insufficient assembly matching. Therefore, we propose a dust cover for the self-adjusting actuator of the wedge brake to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content
