Description
A long-lasting braking mechanical wheel-stopping device for rickshaws and rickshaws Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of rickshaw braking technology, and specifically relates to a long-term braking mechanical wheel-stopping device for rickshaws and a rickshaw. Background Technology
[0002] In the waste transfer scenario at passenger transport hubs, a large amount of waste is generated daily, and waste transfer is mainly accomplished using hand-operated carts. The existing braking method for these hand-operated carts involves friction braking using rubber brake pads at the end of the vehicle. However, this braking method has many defects and shortcomings:
[0003] 1. The braking effect is unstable and cannot effectively brake the wheels, especially when the vehicle is heavily loaded or the slope is steep, the braking effect is greatly reduced.
[0004] 2. When vehicles are unattended, there is a risk of them rolling away, and they may even slide off the platform, posing a serious threat to the safety of train operations at the station and also endangering the personal safety of the workers.
[0005] 3. The existing braking system has a simple structure and lacks automatic braking function, which cannot meet the braking needs when operators temporarily leave the vehicle. It requires frequent manual operation, which increases labor intensity and cumbersome operation. Summary of the Invention
[0006] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a long-lasting braking mechanical wheel-stopping device for rickshaws and a human-powered one, so as to solve the above-mentioned problems.
[0007] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:
[0008] A long-lasting braking mechanical wheel-stopping device for rickshaws includes a braking mechanism, a braking triggering mechanism, and a braking release mechanism; one end of the braking mechanism is used to brake the wheel, and the other end is equipped with the braking triggering mechanism, which is used to apply a clamping force to the braking mechanism; the braking release mechanism is connected to the braking mechanism and is used to apply a releasing force to the braking mechanism.
[0009] Furthermore, the braking mechanism includes a first brake arm, a second brake arm, and a brake block. The first brake arm and the second brake arm are cross-hinged. A brake block is installed at one end of both the first brake arm and the second brake arm. A brake triggering mechanism is installed between the other ends of the first brake arm and the second brake arm. The brake triggering mechanism is used to apply a clamping force to the first brake arm and the second brake arm.
[0010] Furthermore, the brake release mechanism is connected to the first brake arm or the second brake arm.
[0011] Furthermore, the braking triggering mechanism is an elastic element, with its two ends connected to the ends of the first brake arm and the second brake arm, respectively, and the elastic element is in a tensioned and contracted state.
[0012] Furthermore, the elastic element is a spring or a rubber band.
[0013] Furthermore, the brake release mechanism includes a brake lever and a brake cable. One end of the brake cable is connected to a first brake arm or a second brake arm, and the other end of the brake cable is connected to the brake lever. When the brake lever is squeezed, the end of the first brake arm or the second brake arm on which the brake block is installed is pulled to move away from each other.
[0014] A rickshaw includes a long-term braking mechanical wheel-stopping device, wherein the braking mechanism is mounted on the wheel.
[0015] Furthermore, the braking mechanism is mounted on the wheel via a mounting bracket.
[0016] Furthermore, the mounting bracket includes a mounting rod and an adjusting rod. The mounting rod is mounted on the rickshaw body, and one end of the adjusting rod is fixed to the mounting rod by bolts, while the other end is connected to the hinge point of the first brake arm and the second brake arm.
[0017] Furthermore, a brake lever is installed on the rickshaw handlebars.
[0018] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following technical effects:
[0019] When this invention is in use, when the operator leaves the vehicle, releasing the brake lever causes the brake triggering mechanism to automatically tighten the brake under the tension of the elastic element, bringing the brake pads into contact with the wheels and achieving automatic braking. This puts the vehicle into a braking state, preventing it from rolling. When the operator needs to move the vehicle, manually squeezing the brake lever causes the brake pads to separate from the wheels under the tension of the brake cable, releasing the brakes and allowing the vehicle to move normally.
[0020] The automatic braking function ensures that the vehicle automatically enters the braking state when no one is operating it, effectively preventing the vehicle from rolling away and avoiding safety accidents such as the vehicle sliding off the platform, thus ensuring the safety of train operation and the personal safety of staff at the station.
[0021] Operators can release the brakes with simple manual operation, eliminating the need for frequent and complex braking operations, thus reducing labor intensity and improving work efficiency.
[0022] Following the principle of simplicity and feasibility, only a few auxiliary facilities, such as cable-operated braking systems, are added without damaging the original vehicle equipment. The structure is simple, easy to install and maintain, and will not affect the normal use of the vehicle.
[0023] The cable-operated braking system provides long-lasting braking, maintaining stable braking performance even when the vehicle is parked for extended periods, ensuring safety during parking. Attached Figure Description

Furthermore, the terms "first," "second," and "third" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance.
[0031] 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; and they can refer to the internal connection of two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model based on the specific circumstances.
[0032] Example 1: This utility model provides a long-lasting braking mechanical wheel-stopping device for rickshaws, including a braking mechanism, a braking triggering mechanism, and a braking release mechanism; one end of the braking mechanism is used to brake the wheel, and the other end is equipped with the braking triggering mechanism, which is used to apply a clamping force to the braking mechanism; the braking release mechanism is connected to the braking mechanism and is used to apply a releasing force to the braking mechanism.
[0033] Example 2: This utility model provides a long-lasting braking mechanical wheel stop device for rickshaws, specifically including:
[0034] This utility model designs a long-lasting mechanical wheel-stopping device for rickshaws. This device integrates a braking mechanism, a braking triggering mechanism, and a braking release mechanism, forming a complete and efficient braking system. The braking mechanism, as the core actuating component, consists of a first brake arm 1, a second brake arm 2, and a brake block 3. The two brake arms are cross-hinged, and the brake block is installed at one end, providing direct braking force. The braking triggering mechanism uses an elastic element 4, such as a spring or rubber band, with its two ends connected to the ends of the first and second brake arms respectively, and is in a tensioned / contracted state. When the operator leaves the vehicle and releases the brake handle, the elastic element automatically tightens the brake due to its own tension, causing the brake block to make close contact with the wheel, achieving automatic braking and allowing the vehicle to quickly enter a braking state. This effectively prevents the vehicle from rolling away, fundamentally avoiding safety accidents such as the vehicle sliding off the platform, and comprehensively ensuring the safety of the station's traffic and the personal safety of the operators.
[0035] Regarding brake release, the brake release mechanism consists of a brake lever 5 and a brake cable 6. One end of the brake cable is connected to the first brake arm 1 or the second brake arm 2, and the other end is connected to the brake lever 5. When the operator needs to move the vehicle, a simple manual operation is required: squeezing the brake lever, under the tension of the brake cable, causes the end with the brake pads to move away from the wheels, thus easily releasing the brakes and allowing the vehicle to drive normally. This design eliminates the need for frequent and complex braking operations, greatly reducing labor intensity, significantly improving work efficiency, and making vehicle use more convenient and efficient.
[0036] This invention follows the principle of simplicity and feasibility, adding only a few auxiliary facilities, such as a cable-operated braking system, without damaging the original vehicle mechanism. The structure is simple and clear. This design is not only easy to install and maintain, but also does not affect the normal use of the vehicle. Furthermore, the cable-operated braking system enables long-term braking, maintaining excellent braking performance even when the vehicle is parked for extended periods, ensuring absolute safety during parking. This design, integrating safety, convenience, and efficiency, provides an ideal solution to the braking problem of rickshaws and has extremely high practical value.
[0037] Working principle:
[0038] When the operator leaves the vehicle, the brake triggering mechanism senses the personnel leaving signal and automatically pulls the brake cable, causing the brake pads to contact the wheels, achieving automatic braking and putting the vehicle into a braking state to prevent the vehicle from rolling.
[0039] When operators need to move the vehicle, they can manually operate the release mechanism to pull the brake cable, causing the brake pads to separate from the wheels, releasing the brakes, and allowing the vehicle to drive normally.
[0040] Installation method: Without damaging the original vehicle equipment, install the cable-operated brake system in a suitable position on the hand-operated cart, such as on the frame, ensuring that the brake pads can effectively contact the wheels. At the same time, install the brake triggering mechanism and the manual release mechanism in suitable positions on the vehicle for easy operation by the workers.
[0041] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this utility model, and are not intended to limit it.
