Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of braking of machine tool equipment, and more specifically, to an axial metal drum-bulging brake structure. Background Art

[0002] As an important part of machine tool equipment, the braking device directly affects the safety of equipment operation. With the progress of modern technology, the braking technology of machine tool equipment has been continuously developed. The braking device generates friction between the brake pads and the drum cavity or disc, and converts the kinetic energy during the rotation of the equipment into heat energy and consumes it during the friction process. The common braking devices are of two types: "drum brakes" and "disc brakes", and their basic features are as follows: In the drum brake, two semi-circular brake pads are installed inside the drum cavity, and the "lever principle" is used to push the brake pads to make the brake pads contact the inner surface of the drum cavity and generate friction. The operation mode of the drum brake: Simply put, the drum brake is a braking device that uses the stationary brake pads inside the brake drum to friction the brake drum rotating with the rotating shaft to generate frictional force to reduce the rotating speed of the rotating shaft. The disc brake is a braking device that uses the stationary brake disc to clamp the brake disc rotating with the rotating shaft to generate frictional force to reduce the rotating speed of the equipment.

[0003] The patent publication number closest to the present application is CN107289042A, a rapid braking internal expansion brake structure, which discloses a brake disc and a wheel shaft coaxially aligned with the brake disc. An elastic bushing is sleeved on the wheel shaft. A plurality of inflatable braking mechanisms are arranged between the brake disc and the bushing. The inflatable braking mechanism includes an inflatable brake block and a locking key supporting the inflatable brake block. One end of the inflatable brake block is fixedly arranged on the inner wall of the brake disc through the locking key, and the other end is connected to the bushing. During braking, the inflatable brake block inflates and expands to abut against the wheel shaft and the brake disc.

[0004] This solution relies on chemical substance reactions to supply gas, has risks of uncontrollable reactions and material fatigue aging, and lacks a dynamic pressure regulation mechanism.

[0005] Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop a new type of brake structure that can provide a large, stable and instantaneously explosive braking force in a compact axial space, and at the same time has wear resistance, environmental adaptability and multiple safety protection mechanisms. Content of the Utility Model

[0006] In view of this, in order to solve the above problems, the utility model proposes an axial metal drum-bulging brake structure that is drum-bulging and has controllable reactions.

[0007] An axial metal drum-bulging brake structure, characterized in that: the brake structure 5 includes a braking chamber 1 and an annular braking unit 2 arranged in the braking chamber 1.

[0008] At least three independent elastic deformation units 3 are distributed on the inner wall of the braking chamber 1;

[0009] Each elastic deformation unit 3 is connected to a multi-channel air distributor 4;

[0010] The elastic deformation unit 3 has an expandable membrane structure 31 built in, which simultaneously compresses the outer periphery and upper and lower end faces of the annular braking unit 2 when it expands.

[0011] In some embodiments, the multi-channel gas distributor 4 is connected to a gas source device, which includes a high-pressure gas source and a micro-explosion container 6 connected in parallel; the output end of the micro-explosion container 6 is provided with a rupture diaphragm 61.

[0012] Furthermore, the membrane structure 31 is a three-layer composite structure including an inner layer, a middle layer, and an outer layer arranged sequentially from the inside out. The inner layer is a pre-compressed shape memory alloy mesh, wherein the phase transformation temperature is ≤80℃. When the phase transformation is triggered by high temperature during braking friction, it can actively restore the preset shape, compensate for wear gaps, maintain constant pressure, and effectively suppress plastic deformation caused by high temperature creep, significantly improving stability and lifespan under high temperature conditions.

[0013] The middle layer is an elastic matrix with embedded spiral reinforcing filaments. The middle layer provides excellent radial expansion capacity and elastic recovery force, while the spiral reinforcing filaments greatly improve the membrane's pressure resistance and tear resistance, preventing failure under high pressure / impact.

[0014] The outer layer is a composite wear-resistant layer, which is in direct contact with the braking unit and has extremely high hardness, wear resistance and thermal stability, effectively reducing friction loss.

[0015] In some embodiments, the elastic deformation unit 3 is provided with a gas containment cavity 11, which helps to ensure gas stability.

[0016] In some embodiments, the surface of the annular braking unit 2 is further provided with a metal coating, which further enhances the wear resistance, high temperature resistance and anti-galling performance of the friction interface.

[0017] In some embodiments, the branch pipes 42 of the multi-channel air distributor 4 integrate piezoelectric micro-flow sensors. The piezoelectric micro-flow sensors can monitor and control the intake flow and pressure of each elastic deformation unit in real time, ensuring the balance and controllability of the braking force.

[0018] In some embodiments, the main pipeline 41 is equipped with a mechanical temperature control valve with a valve core filled with paraffin. When the system temperature rises abnormally (such as continuous braking overheating), the paraffin expands and drives the valve core to automatically cut off or limit the gas supply input, preventing overheating failure and providing passive overheat protection.

[0019] In some embodiments, the micro-explosive container 6 is connected to the main pipe 41 via an explosion-proof connector.

[0020] Furthermore, the explosion-proof connector also contains a metal filter with a screen diameter of ≤0.1mm. The metal filter effectively intercepts any tiny fragments or impurities generated by the micro-explosion that may damage downstream pipes or elastic units, ensuring the safe operation of the system after extreme operating conditions.

[0021] In some embodiments, the thickness of the annular braking unit 2 is 25-46 mm; the central angle of the gas accommodating chamber 11 in each elastic deformation unit 3 is 30°-60°; while ensuring structural strength and heat dissipation capacity, the best force transmission efficiency and space utilization are achieved.

[0022] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: This utility model proposes an axial metal drum-type brake structure, including a brake chamber 1 and an annular brake unit 2 disposed within the brake chamber 1. At least three independent elastic deformation units 3 are distributed on the inner wall of the brake chamber 1. Each elastic deformation unit 3 has an expandable membrane structure 31 inside. When it expands, it simultaneously compresses the outer periphery and upper and lower end faces of the annular brake unit 2, making full use of the axial space to achieve uniform distribution and maximization of braking force. At the same time, each elastic deformation unit 3 is connected to a multi-channel air distribution device 4. The multi-channel air distribution device instantly drives all elastic deformation units to generate explosive braking force to meet extreme emergency braking requirements. The membrane structure 31 is a three-layer composite structure, including an inner layer, a middle layer, and an outer layer arranged sequentially from the inside out. The three-layer composite structure improves the braking effect. Furthermore, a metal coating is set on the outer layer of the brake unit 2 to optimize friction characteristics and further improve the lifespan of the elastic deformation unit 3.
