Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of engineering machinery technology, specifically relating to a disengagement device, a truck crane braking system, and a truck crane. Background Technology
[0002] Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of a traditional truck crane braking system. As can be seen, the compressed air in a traditional truck crane braking system comes from the engine's air compressor, passing through rigid pipes, a dryer, an air reservoir, and a valve body to the axle air chamber. When the vehicle's air pressure reaches its maximum, the air compressor does not stop; the compressed air is released through the engine's unloading port. In this system, the air consumption required for normal, stable vehicle operation is far less than the engine's air supply. Consequently, the engine cannot operate in its high-efficiency range, resulting in high fuel consumption and low economy. Furthermore, the air compressor remains constantly running, affecting its lifespan.
[0003] Chinese utility model patent CN 218494118 U discloses a power take-off (PTO) box, a PTO system, and a crane. By adjusting the engagement and disengagement of the coupling sleeve and the transmission gear, the power transmission relationship between the first and second drive shafts within the PTO box can be adjusted. This allows the PTO to be disengaged from the motor in the PTO system, without increasing the system's rotational inertia, thus improving system reliability. However, this solution primarily uses manual switching to adjust the power transmission relationship between the first and second drive shafts within the PTO box, allowing the PTO to be disengaged from the motor. This approach has low automation and a delayed response to operational demand requirements. Utility Model Content

Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model based on the specific circumstances.
[0044] The application principle of this utility model will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Example 1
[0045] This embodiment provides a disengagement device 13, such as Figures 2-5 As shown, it includes:
[0046] Input axis 1;
[0047] The first gear 14 is sleeved on the outside of the input shaft 1, and the two are fixedly connected;
[0048] Intermediate shaft 3;
[0049] The second gear 15 is sleeved on the outside of the intermediate shaft 3, and the two are fixedly connected; the second gear 15 also meshes with the first gear 14;
[0050] Output shaft 5;
[0051] The third gear 16 is rotatably sleeved on the outside of the output shaft 5 and meshes with the second gear 15;
[0052] The sleeve 4 is connected to the output shaft 5 and can slide axially along the side wall of the output shaft 5;
[0053] The drive mechanism (not shown in the figure) is connected to the coupling sleeve 4 and drives the coupling sleeve 4 to engage or disengage with the third gear 16.
[0054] In the above scheme, the output shaft 5 is controlled to output power based on the engagement or disengagement state of the coupling sleeve 4 and the third gear 16, thus avoiding the phenomenon of the air compressor 7 connected to the output shaft running idle, which can improve engine life and fuel economy. The disengagement device 13 in this embodiment occupies little space, has low cost, and is easy to install in the vehicle.
[0055] In one specific embodiment of this example, when the coupling sleeve 4 engages with the third gear 16, the input shaft 1, based on the received power, sequentially drives the intermediate shaft 3 and the output shaft 5 to rotate.
[0056] In the above scheme, by connecting the input shaft 1 to the engine flywheel 6 and the output shaft 5 to the air compressor 7, the power output by the engine flywheel 6 can be transmitted to the air compressor 7 using the disconnection device 13, so that the air compressor 7 is in working condition.
[0057] In one specific embodiment of this example, when the coupling sleeve 4 is separated from the third gear 16, the input shaft 1 drives the intermediate shaft 3 to rotate only based on the received power.
[0058] In the above scheme, by connecting the input shaft 1 to the engine flywheel 6 and the output shaft 5 to the air compressor 7, the power output by the engine flywheel 6 cannot be transmitted to the air compressor 7 by the disconnection device 13, so that the air compressor 7 is in a non-working state.
[0059] In one specific embodiment of this example, bearings 2 are fitted on the outer sides of the input shaft 1, intermediate shaft 3 and output shaft 5.
[0060] In the above scheme, bearings 2 are sleeved on the outside of the input shaft 1, intermediate shaft 3 and output shaft 5 to facilitate the rotation of the input shaft 1, intermediate shaft 3 and output shaft 5.
[0061] In one specific embodiment of this example, the output shaft 5 includes a first shaft body 501 and a second shaft body 502; the second shaft body 502 is sleeved on the outside of the first shaft body 501; the connecting sleeve 4 is slidably disposed on the second shaft body 502.
[0062] In the above scheme, during specific implementation, the first shaft 501 and the second shaft 502 are integrally formed, or the first shaft 501 and the second shaft 502 are fixed by welding or other means, and the second shaft 502 is located near the middle of the first shaft 501. Bearings 2 are respectively provided on the first shaft 501 on both sides of the second shaft 502. This design facilitates the sliding connection between the coupling sleeve 4 and the second shaft 502.
[0063] In one specific embodiment of this example, the second shaft 502 is provided with a first sliding groove, and the connecting sleeve 4 is slidably connected to the first sliding groove.
[0064] In the above scheme, by setting a first sliding groove on the outer wall of the second shaft 502, the connecting sleeve 4 is slidably connected to the first sliding groove, which facilitates later implementation.
[0065] In one specific embodiment of this example, the third gear 16 includes a first segment 1601 and a second segment 1602 arranged sequentially.
[0066] The cross-section of the first segment 1601 is smaller than the cross-section of the second segment 1602;
[0067] The first segment 1601 is provided with a second sliding groove, which is used to cooperate with the connecting sleeve to realize the connection of the third gear 16 and the output shaft 5. In the specific implementation process, the bottom surface of the second sliding groove and the first sliding groove are at the same level to realize the sliding stability of the connecting sleeve 4.
[0068] The outer wall of the second segment 1602 is provided with meshing teeth.
[0069] In the above scheme, during specific implementation, the radial cross-sections of both the first and second segments are annular, and they are preferably integrally molded to facilitate production and manufacturing, and to improve the structural stability of the entire device. The meshing teeth on the outer wall of the second segment are used to mesh with the second gear 15, which drives the segment to rotate.
[0070] In one specific embodiment of this example, the driving mechanism is a cylinder.
[0071] In the above scheme, when the driving mechanism is a cylinder, the piston rod of the cylinder is connected to the coupling sleeve, so as to drive the coupling sleeve 4 to engage with the third gear 16, and finally achieve the engagement of the third gear 16 with the output shaft 5 to form a transmission structure. Example 2
[0072] This embodiment provides a truck crane braking system, including the disengagement device 13 described in embodiment 1, as well as an engine flywheel 6, an air compressor 7, a solenoid valve 12, a dryer 8, an air tank 9, a valve body 10, and an air chamber 11;
[0073] The input shaft 1 of the disengagement device 13 is connected to the engine flywheel 6;
[0074] The output shaft 5 of the disconnection device 13 is connected to the input shaft 1 of the air compressor 7;
[0075] The solenoid valve 12 is connected to the drive mechanism of the disengagement device 13, and controls the start and stop of the drive mechanism.
[0076] The output end of the air compressor 7, the dryer 8, the air tank 9, the valve body 10, and the air chamber 11 are connected in sequence. The connection relationship between them is existing technology and will not be described in detail in this embodiment.
[0077] When the vehicle's air pressure is lower than a preset value, the disengagement device 13 is in the engaged state (e.g., Figure 4 When the solenoid valve 12 is not energized, the power output from the engine is transmitted to the output shaft 5 via the input shaft 1, intermediate shaft 3, and coupling sleeve 4, which drives the compression pump of the air compressor 7 to compress the gas. After secondary compression, the gas is sent into the air chamber 11 via the dryer 8, air tank 9, and valve body 10.
[0078] When the vehicle's air pressure exceeds the preset value, the dryer 8 is unloaded, the solenoid valve 12 is energized, and the high-pressure gas is transmitted to the disconnection device 13 via the solenoid valve 12 (e.g., Figure 5 When the third gear 16 on the output shaft 5 in the disengagement device 13 separates from the coupling sleeve 4, the third gear 16 rotates freely, and the output shaft 5 does not rotate. At this time, the compression pump of the air compressor 7 stops working. Example 3
