Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of friction plate curing technology, and in particular relates to a friction plate curing rack. Background Technology
[0002] Friction pad curing racks are key tooling equipment in the production process of brake pads or friction pads. They are mainly used to position, support, and shape the friction pads during the curing stage to ensure their geometric stability and performance consistency.
[0003] Currently, curing racks are composed of multiple layers of laminated mesh panels, such as... Figure 1 As shown, it enables mass production of cured products. Although this design improves production efficiency, it still has some technical defects and limitations in practical applications:
[0004] (1) Poor uniformity of curing temperature conduction; due to the large thermal resistance of the metal mesh, heat is difficult to be uniformly transferred from the bottom layer to the top layer, which is manifested as the outer friction sheet heating up quickly, while the middle layer heats up lagging behind, resulting in asynchronous curing reactions.
[0005] (2) Low disassembly and assembly efficiency and difficult to transport; the multi-layer mesh panels are fixed to the columns by welding or screwing, resulting in a large overall weight, making manual transport difficult and increasing labor intensity. Moreover, the replacement of layers takes a long time, which affects the efficiency of use.
[0006] (3) Limited applicability: Since the mesh plate is fixedly connected to the column, that is, the layer spacing between the mesh plates is fixed, it is only applicable to friction plates of specific thickness or size, and the flexibility and adaptability of adjustment are poor.
[0007] Based on the above analysis, this solution designs a novel friction plate curing holder. Utility Model Content
[0008] The purpose of this invention is to provide a friction plate curing rack, which uses a multi-layer crossbeam and support bar detachably to form a friction plate support layer, thus eliminating the traditional fixed mesh plate installation structure and solving at least one deficiency in the prior art.
[0009] To address the aforementioned issues, this solution provides a friction pad curing frame, comprising a frame body, with parallel crossbeams arranged at opposite ends in the length or width direction of the frame body, and multiple layers of these crossbeams arranged at equal intervals relative to the height direction of the frame body, and multiple sets of support bars detachably suspended between the crossbeams to form a friction pad support layer.
[0010] As a preferred embodiment of this application: a limiting mechanism is provided on the contact side between the crossbeam and the support bar. The limiting mechanism includes a groove and a protrusion that fit together. The groove is provided on the crossbeam or the support bar, and the protrusion is provided on the other.
[0011] As a preferred embodiment of this application: the support bar includes a support part and a hooking part, the width of the support part is greater than or equal to the length of the L-shaped buckle on the side of the friction plate, the hooking part is a U-shaped groove structure, and the groove or protrusion is disposed on the inner side of the U-shaped groove.
[0012] As a preferred embodiment of this application: the upper surface of the support is provided with a plurality of equidistant limiting grooves along its length direction, and the L-shaped buckle of the friction plate can be inserted into the limiting groove.
[0013] As a preferred embodiment of this application: the crossbeam is a right-angle structure composed of a first connecting plate and a second connecting plate, the length of the second connecting plate is greater than that of the first connecting plate, and it is located inside the frame and perpendicular to the frame axis, so as to support the support part of the support bar.
[0014] As a preferred embodiment of this application: the area between adjacent support bars forms a friction pad mounting area, and adjusting the position of the support bars on the crossbeam can adjust the width or height of the friction pad mounting area to adapt to friction pads of different sizes.
[0015] As a preferred embodiment of this application: the bottom of the frame is provided with a perforated plate, which serves as both a friction pad support layer and a curing gas separation zone, so as to evenly diffuse the curing heat gas to the friction pad mounting area.
[0016] As a preferred embodiment of this application: the support is a rectangular frame composed of uprights and reinforcing bars, wherein the uprights are square steel or angle steel.
[0017] As a preferred embodiment of this application, the top of the bracket is provided with a support plate, which facilitates the stacking of multiple brackets.
[0018] Compared with existing technologies, the advantages of this application are:
[0019] This friction pad curing rack solution abandons the traditional fixed mesh plate installation structure. Instead, it forms a friction pad support layer through the detachable connection of multiple layers of crossbeams and support bars on the frame. This curing rack structure supports the friction pads through adjacent support bars, avoiding the high thermal resistance of the mesh plate and laying the foundation for efficient curing. Furthermore, the detachable hook connection between the support bars and crossbeams improves assembly and disassembly efficiency and allows for separation of the support bars from the crossbeams as needed, reducing the overall weight of the frame. In addition, each friction pad support layer in this solution is composed of friction pad mounting areas formed between adjacent support bars. This allows for adjustment of the width or height of the mounting area by adjusting the position of the support bars on the crossbeams to accommodate friction pads of different sizes, improving flexibility and adaptability. Therefore, this curing rack solution offers advantages such as structural flexibility, high adaptability, and excellent curing effect, solving existing shortcomings and demonstrating practicality and economic benefits.

Detailed Implementation
[0028] The present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to specific embodiments and accompanying drawings. It should be emphasized that the following description is merely exemplary and not intended to limit the scope and application of the present invention.
[0029] This embodiment provides a friction pad curing holder, such as Figure 2 As shown, the frame includes a frame 10, which is a structurally stable rectangular frame composed of uprights 14 and reinforcing bars 15. The uprights 14 consist of four pieces, made of square steel or angle steel, preferably 3mm thick square tubular steel. The reinforcing bars 15 are 2.5mm thick steel plates, which are fixed to the outer periphery of the four uprights 14 by welding. In this embodiment, in order to improve stability and reduce the overall weight of the frame 10, it is preferable to weld the reinforcing bars 15 only at the bottom and top of the uprights 14.
[0030] The frame 10 has parallel crossbeams 11 arranged at opposite ends in the length or width direction. In this embodiment, it is preferred that the frame 10 has crossbeams 11 at opposite ends in the length direction, and the crossbeams 11 are arranged in multiple layers at equal intervals relative to the height direction of the frame 10. It can be understood that the specific number of layers and the layer spacing are selected according to actual needs. In this embodiment, the preferred number of layers is 6 layers and the layer spacing (i.e., layer height) is 100mm. Multiple sets of support bars 12 are detachably suspended between the crossbeams 11 and form a friction plate support layer. The friction plates are fixed through this friction plate support layer.
[0031] Specifically, a certain number of support bars 12 are selected and hung between two crossbeams 11 located along the length of the frame 10 to form a friction plate support layer. The friction plates can be fixed and supported through this friction plate support layer. That is, in this embodiment, the friction plate curing frame abandons the traditional fixed installation structure of the mesh plate. Instead, it forms a friction plate support layer by detachably connecting multiple layers of crossbeams 11 and multiple sets of support bars 12 on the frame 10. The curing frame of this structure supports the friction plates through adjacent support bars 12, avoiding the shortcomings of high thermal resistance of the mesh plate. At the same time, the detachable hanging method of connecting the support bars 12 and the crossbeams 11 can improve the disassembly and assembly efficiency. On the other hand, the support bars 12 can be separated from the crossbeams as needed to reduce the overall weight of the frame 10 and facilitate transportation.
[0032] In this embodiment, the spacing between adjacent support strips 12 constituting the friction plate support layer must allow for the effective passage of curing heat to avoid obstructing the heat and affecting the synchronicity of the thermal reaction. In order to reduce the number of support strips 12 used and ensure effective support for the friction plate, it is preferable that adjacent support strips 12 form a friction plate mounting area corresponding to the length of the friction plate. That is, each friction plate support layer is composed of multiple friction plate mounting areas. In specific use, the two ends of the friction plate along its length are in contact with two adjacent support strips 12, and the middle part is suspended in the gap between the two support strips 12. Using this method to fix the friction plate can reduce the number of support strips 12 used, thereby reducing the weight and cost of the frame 10. On the other hand, it can ensure the uniformity and effectiveness of heat conduction, reduce heat obstruction, and improve the curing effect.
[0033] In this embodiment, adjusting the position of the support strips 12 on the crossbeam 11 can adjust the width or height of the friction pad mounting area to adapt to friction pads of different sizes. That is, according to the size of the friction pad to be cured, an appropriate number of support strips 12 are selected and hung on the crossbeam 11 to form a friction pad mounting area with the required width and height. Specifically, when the size of the friction pad to be cured is large, the number of support strips 12 in the same layer or the number of support strips 12 between upper and lower layers can be adjusted simultaneously. For the same layer, the spacing between adjacent support strips 12 is increased by adjusting the support strips 12. For upper and lower layers, support strips 12 can be omitted from the upper layer to increase the height of the friction pad mounting area in the lower layer. When the size of the friction pad to be cured is small, only the number of support strips 12 in the same layer needs to be adjusted, that is, the spacing between adjacent support strips 12 is reduced by adjusting the support strips 12. It can be seen that, in this embodiment, by adjusting the number of support strips 12 in the same layer or between upper and lower layers, the width or height of the friction pad mounting area can be adjusted to adapt to friction pads of various sizes, thereby improving the versatility of the curing rack.
[0034] In this embodiment, to ensure the stability of the friction pad and prevent the support bar 12 from moving relative to the crossbeam 11, a limiting mechanism is provided on the contact side between the crossbeam 11 and the support bar 12. This limiting mechanism includes a groove 17 and a protrusion 14 that fit together. The groove 17 is disposed on either the crossbeam 11 or the support bar 12, and the protrusion 14 is disposed on the other. Preferably, in this embodiment, the groove 17 is disposed on the crossbeam 11, and the protrusion 14 is disposed on the support bar 12. Figure 3 As shown; the support bar 12 can be fixedly connected to the crossbeam 11 by the engagement of the protrusion 14 and the groove 17, thereby improving the stability of the support bar 12. It is understood that the number of grooves 17 on the crossbeam 11 is determined according to specific needs to ensure that the friction plate mounting area can be adjusted to the required width.
[0035] The support bar 12 includes a support portion 121 and a mounting portion 122, such as Figure 4 As shown, the width of the support part 121 is greater than or equal to the length of the L-shaped buckle on the side of the friction plate, ensuring that the two L-shaped buckles can contact and be supported by the same support part 121 at the same time. The hook part 122 has a U-shaped groove structure, and the protrusion 14 is set on the inner side of the U-shaped groove. The U-shaped groove is sleeved on the crossbeam rod 11 and the protrusion 14 on it is engaged with the groove 17 on the crossbeam rod 11.
[0036] As a preferred embodiment, in order to effectively adjust the placement density of the friction pads and avoid the friction pads from being too close together due to manual placement, thus affecting the curing effect, it is preferable to have multiple equidistant limiting grooves arranged along the length of the upper surface of the support 121. The L-shaped buckles of the friction pads can be inserted into the limiting grooves. In actual use, each limiting groove can not only automatically limit and fix each friction pad, but also automatically adjust the gap between adjacent friction pads, laying the foundation for efficient curing.
[0037] In this embodiment, the crossbeam 11 is a right-angle structure composed of a first connecting plate 111 and a second connecting plate 112, as shown below. Figure 5-6 As shown, the second connecting plate 112 is longer than the first connecting plate, and it is located inside the frame 10 and perpendicular to the axis of the frame 10, so as to support the support part 121 of the support bar 12. It can be understood that there should be a corresponding right angle structure between the support part 121 and the hanging part 122 of the support bar 12. The crossbeam 11 with this structure can support both ends of the support bar 12, improve the strength of the support bar 12, and lay the foundation for subsequent efficient curing.
[0038] As a preferred embodiment, a perforated plate 13 is provided at the bottom of the frame 10. The perforated plate 13 serves as both a friction pad support layer and a curing gas separation zone, so as to evenly diffuse the curing heat gas to the friction pad mounting area and improve the curing synchronization and effect; of course, it can also serve as a curing gas separation zone only.
[0039] As a preferred embodiment, a support plate 16 is provided at the top of the bracket. The support plate 16 is preferably located at the top of the four uprights 14, and the support plate 16 facilitates the stacking of multiple brackets.
[0040] The specific operating principle of this embodiment includes:
[0041] According to the size of the friction pad to be cured, adjust the position of the support bar 12 on the crossbeam 11 to adjust the width or height of the friction pad mounting area. The cooperation between the groove 17 and the protrusion 14 ensures that the support bar 12 and the crossbeam 11 are firmly connected. After the friction pad support layer is laid, place the friction pad in the friction pad mounting area and ensure that the L-shaped buckles at both ends of the friction pad are in contact with the support part 121 of the support bar 12. In this embodiment, in order to facilitate the placement of the friction pad, it is preferable to place the friction pads sequentially upward from the bottom perforated plate 13. Specifically, the friction pads are placed after the current friction pad support layer is laid, until the top layer.
[0042] In summary, compared with the existing traditional mesh-type curing rack, the curing rack in this embodiment not only facilitates the placement of friction pads, but also allows for flexible adjustment of the width or height of the friction pad mounting area as needed, improving the versatility and flexibility of the curing rack. In addition, the curing rack in this embodiment has low thermal resistance and better curing effect. It can be seen that the curing rack in this solution has advantages such as structural flexibility, high adaptability, and excellent curing effect, solving the shortcomings of the existing solutions and having certain practicality and economic benefits.
[0043] As a specific embodiment of this solution, the preferred frame size is 850mm×500mm×865mm, which is the same as the structure of the curing frame for traditional fixed installation of mesh panels. The following parameters were compared through testing:
[0044]
[0045] In summary, the comparison shows that, under the premise of the same size, the curing rack of this embodiment not only has the advantages of being lightweight and having a large number of curing friction pads, but also has the advantage of energy saving. Therefore, the curing rack of this embodiment has significant practical value and market promotion value, and is especially suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises.
