Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of kite launching and reeling control devices, and in particular to a kite wheel brake device. Background Technology

[0002] Existing kite reels consist of an inner reel and an outer reel that are rotatably mounted together. During kite flying, the user holds the inner reel with one hand and uses the other hand to rotate the outer reel to reel in and out the kite line. As the kite's altitude and wind force change, the rotation speed of the outer reel gradually increases. Existing kite reels are equipped with a braking device to slow down the outer reel. The existing braking device consists of two brake blocks rotatably mounted on the inner reel, connected by a linkage rod. A drive lever pushes one of the brake blocks to rotate. Under the action of the linkage rod, both brake blocks come into contact with the braking surface of the outer reel, achieving deceleration of the outer reel through friction. However, after a period of use, the brake blocks gradually wear down. As the brake blocks wear down, the braking distance between the brake blocks and the outer reel increases, requiring the drive lever to rotate at a larger angle to engage the brake blocks with the outer reel, resulting in braking delay.

[0003] Therefore, a kite wheel braking device is needed to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0004] This utility model proposes a kite wheel braking device, which realizes braking of the outer wheel disc through two brake blocks, a cam and an adjustable length linkage assembly. At the same time, it also realizes the adjustment of the braking distance between the two brake blocks and the outer wheel disc, avoiding the braking delay caused by brake block wear.

[0005] The technical solution of this utility model is implemented as follows:

[0006] A kite reel braking device includes an inner disc and an outer disc rotatably mounted together. Two brake blocks are hinged to the inner disc, and the two brake blocks are used to brake the outer disc. A cam is provided between the two brake blocks, and the cam is rotatably mounted on the inner disc. The cam abuts against one of the brake blocks. The cam and the other brake block are connected by a length-adjustable linkage assembly. A reset element is provided between at least one brake block and the inner disc.

[0007] As a preferred technical solution, the length-adjustable linkage assembly includes a first linkage and a second linkage, which are threaded together by a connecting element. The free end of the first linkage is hinged to a cam, and the free end of the second linkage is hinged to the brake block.

[0008] As a preferred technical solution, the cam is rotatably mounted on the inner wheel disk via a rotating shaft. The rotating shaft passes through the inner wheel disk and is fixedly mounted with a brake handle. The cam is provided with a brake protrusion and a linkage part. The brake protrusion and the linkage part are located on both sides of the rotating shaft, and the linkage part is hinged to the first connecting rod.

[0009] As a preferred technical solution, the inner wheel is provided with a plurality of limiting blocks, each of the limiting blocks being provided with a limiting groove, and each limiting groove being adapted to the first connecting rod and the second connecting rod.

[0010] As a preferred technical solution, the connecting element is a cylindrical nut.

[0011] By adopting the above technical solution, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0012] Because the kite reel braking device includes an adjustable-length linkage assembly, during the use of this device, by rotating the cam, the brake block that abuts against the cam rotates towards the outer wheel disc. At the same time, under the linkage action of the adjustable-length linkage assembly, the other brake block rotates towards the outer wheel disc. In this utility model, the adjustable-length linkage assembly realizes the linkage of the two brake blocks. When it is necessary to brake the outer wheel disc, simply rotate the cam to engage the two brake blocks with the outer wheel disc. Under the action of friction, the two brake blocks brake the outer wheel disc simultaneously. After braking is completed, release the cam, and under the action of the reset element, the two brake blocks separate from the outer wheel disc.

[0013] This invention achieves the engagement or disengagement of two brake blocks with the outer wheel disc through the cooperation of a cam, an adjustable length linkage assembly, and a reset element, thereby realizing the braking of the outer wheel disc.

[0014] After the braking device has been used for a period of time, the outer sides of the two brake pads will wear. Since the length adjustable linkage assembly includes a first linkage, a second linkage, and a connecting element, by rotating the connecting element, the connecting element moves towards the cam. As the connecting element moves, the first connecting rod located on the outer side of the connecting element becomes shorter, causing the cam to rotate. Under the push of the cam, the brake pad that is against the cam rotates towards the outer wheel disc. At the same time, the second connecting rod located on the outer side of the connecting element becomes longer, causing the other brake pad to rotate towards the outer wheel disc.

[0015] This invention achieves adjustment of the lengths of the first and second connecting rods by rotating the connecting element, thereby adjusting the braking distance between the two brake blocks and the outer wheel disc, thus shortening the braking response time and avoiding braking delay caused by brake block wear.
