Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of wedge brake technology, and in particular to an integrated vulcanized sealing seat for a wedge brake self-adjuster. Background Technology

[0002] In China, wedge brakes are mainly used in heavy vehicles and construction machinery, and most adopt an air brake structure. For wedge brakes, the brake chamber and brake cylinder are connected by threads or end flanges, providing pneumatic power to the brake assembly. 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 excessive clearance between the brake drum and friction pads, maintaining a constant braking force. In vehicle braking systems, wedge brakes are widely used due to their compact structure and large braking torque, especially in the medium and heavy-duty truck sector.

[0003] The brake chamber is connected to the self-adjusting push rod, applying braking force to the brake. A sealing seat is located at the push rod, consisting of a metal frame and a moving and a stationary sealing ring, preventing impurities from the air chamber direction from entering the self-adjusting unit. Existing sealing seats use an interference fit with the metal frame. The metal frame is made of thin steel sheet, stamped and formed, with flanges to prevent the sealing rings from falling off. There is linear movement between the push rod and the sealing seat. Over time, this causes the grease on the sealing rings to thin or even disappear, leading to increased friction. If this friction exceeds the bonding force between the sealing ring and the frame, the sealing ring will fall off, causing seal failure. The sealing seat is typically installed inside the brake drum at the rear axle wheel end of the vehicle, in a harsh working environment. If external impurities enter the self-adjusting unit, they will cause grease failure, movement stagnation, and ultimately, abnormal or even complete failure of the self-adjusting unit, posing a significant safety hazard to the vehicle. The sealing seat's anti-fall-off and sealing performance are inadequate. Therefore, we propose using an integrated vulcanized sealing seat for the wedge brake self-adjusting unit to solve these problems. Utility Model Content

[0046] How to use and how to work this device:

[0047] A vulcanized sealing ring 2 is fitted on the top of the load-bearing frame 1. The vulcanized sealing ring 2 is made of vulcanized material.

[0048] Vulcanized rubber refers to rubber that has been vulcanized. It has the characteristics of not being sticky and not being easy to break. It is a general term for rubber compounds after vulcanization. After vulcanization, a three-dimensional structure is formed in the raw rubber, which has high elasticity, heat resistance, tensile strength and insolubility in organic solvents. Vulcanized sealing ring 2 has good toughness and tensile strength after vulcanization, which is suitable for supporting and adjusting braking ability.

[0049] An oil seal spring 3 is provided on the top of the outer side of the vulcanized sealing ring 2. The oil seal spring 3 acts as a ring clamping spring, which presses the sealing lip tightly onto the shaft through continuous elastic pressure to form an initial sealing force. When the sealing lip is fatigued or worn due to long-term use, the elasticity of the spring can dynamically compensate for the loss of radial force, avoid sealing failure, improve the overall sealing performance of the device, and is not prone to jamming or failure after long-term use. It is easy to use and can better prevent external impurities from entering the regulator.

[0050] The bottom of the outer side of the vulcanized sealing ring 2 is provided with a first mounting ring 4, and the top of the outer side of the bearing skeleton 1 is provided with a second mounting ring 5. The outer sides of the first mounting ring 4 and the second mounting ring 5 are fitted with an integrally formed auxiliary leak-proof outer ring 6, which plays an auxiliary sealing role and provides auxiliary sealing protection for the connection between the bearing skeleton 1 and the vulcanized sealing ring 2, with excellent sealing performance.

[0051] The top of the support frame 1 is provided with a right-angle mounting ring 8, and the inner side of the vulcanized sealing ring 2 is provided with an auxiliary sealing ring 7. The auxiliary sealing ring 7 is fitted inside the right-angle mounting ring 8, and the inner side of the vulcanized sealing ring 2 is fitted outside the right-angle mounting ring 8. The inner and outer joints are double-locked, which makes it difficult to detach and leak, and the sealing performance is excellent. This makes the device have excellent sealing performance and anti-detachment performance. The interference fit is stable, which improves the preload. Even if the sealing ring continues to wear, it can automatically compensate for the interference fit, which has excellent durability and protection.

[0052] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model in any other way. Any person skilled in the art may make changes or modifications to the above-disclosed technical content to create equivalent embodiments for application in other fields. However, any simple modifications, equivalent changes, and modifications made to the above embodiments based on the technical essence of the present utility model without departing from the technical solution of the present utility model shall still fall within the protection scope of the technical solution of the present utility model.
