Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model specifically relates to the field of wet brake technology, and more specifically to a wet brake with adjustable braking force. Background Technology

[0002] In the field of heavy-duty equipment such as construction machinery, mining vehicles, and heavy trucks, the reliability of the braking system and the precision of braking force adjustment are directly related to the safety and efficiency of equipment operation. Traditional dry brakes, because the friction pads are exposed to the air, are susceptible to dust, moisture, and high temperatures, resulting in rapid performance degradation and severe wear, and a high failure rate under harsh working conditions. While conventional wet brakes solve the heat dissipation and protection problems through an oil immersion environment, the braking force is mostly fixed and difficult to adjust in real time according to load changes, driving speed, and road conditions. In scenarios such as switching between no-load and full-load conditions and downhill braking, insufficient braking or lock-up can easily occur, which not only affects work efficiency but also poses a great safety hazard.

[0003] As heavy-duty equipment develops towards intelligence and efficiency, higher demands are placed on the dynamic adjustment capabilities of braking systems. Existing hydraulic control braking mechanisms mostly adopt simple valve group designs, resulting in low pressure regulation accuracy, slow response speed, and difficulty in achieving efficient integration with the brake body, leading to complex overall structures and inconvenient maintenance.

By installing the hydraulic control braking mechanism with the wet brake body, the wet brake is improved in terms of braking force accuracy, heat dissipation and protection, structural stability and ease of maintenance, thereby solving the technical problems mentioned in the background art.

Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0034] Please see Figure 1-9 In this embodiment of the present invention, a wet brake with adjustable braking force includes a wet brake body 1, and an oil pressure control braking mechanism 2 is installed on the outside of the wet brake body 1.

[0035] The hydraulic control braking mechanism 2 includes a hydraulic interface 21, the upper end of which is fixedly connected to the valve block housing 22. The valve block housing 22 has an oil passage with an hourglass design inside, and an oil inlet 23 and an oil return port 24 are respectively provided on one side of the valve block housing 22. The oil return port 24 is located above the oil inlet 23.

[0036] The valve block housing 22 has a valve core assembly 25 inside its upper end. The valve core assembly 25 is conical and has a cavity inside. The cavity is connected to the pressure regulating spring 27. The upper end of the pressure regulating spring 27 is connected to the adjusting plate 28. The adjusting plate 28 is annular and its upper end is fixedly connected to the pressure regulating screw 29.

[0037] The upper end of the valve block housing 22 is fixedly connected to the module end cover 26 by multiple bolts. The module end cover 26 is provided with a limiting screw seat in the middle position, and the inner side of the limiting screw seat is threadedly connected to the pressure regulating screw 29.

[0038] By adopting the above technical solution, through the cooperation of the pressure adjusting screw 29, the pressure adjusting spring 27 and the valve core assembly 25, the brake oil pressure can be continuously adjusted according to the working conditions, so as to realize the linear adjustment of the braking force and adapt to the braking needs of different scenarios such as no load, full load, and downhill.

[0039] The module end cap 26 is connected to the valve block housing 22 by bolts, which facilitates the inspection and replacement of components such as the valve core assembly 25 and the pressure regulating spring 27; the friction plate assembly adopts a modular design, which can be quickly disassembled and replaced, reducing maintenance costs.

[0040] In this embodiment, the lower end of the valve block housing 22 is connected to the oil pressure port 19, and the oil pressure port 19 is located on one side of the brake housing 18.

[0041] The brake housing 18 is connected to the static friction plate group 16 on its inner side. The static friction plate group 16 is provided with a moving friction plate group 17 on its inner side. The moving friction plate group 17 is connected to the spline bushing 12.

[0042] By adopting the above technical solution, the static friction plate group 16 and the dynamic friction plate group 17 are in the oil-immersed environment of the brake housing 18. With the sealing structure of the spline bushing 12 and the bearing 13, dust and moisture are effectively isolated. At the same time, the oil circulation can quickly remove frictional heat and extend the service life of the friction plates.

[0043] In this embodiment, bearings 13 are connected to both ends of the spline bushing 12. The bearings 13 are respectively located inside the brake housing 18 and inside the front cover 11. One side of the static friction plate group 16 and the dynamic friction plate group 17 is connected to one end of the brake piston 15.

[0044] The brake piston 15 has multiple reset spring groups 14 arranged in a ring array on the inner side of the other end, and the other end of the multiple reset spring groups 14 arranged in a ring array is connected to the inner side of the front cover 11.

[0045] By adopting the above technical solution, the hydraulic control braking mechanism 2 is directly connected to the pressure oil port 19 of the brake body 1 through the hydraulic interface 21, which simplifies the pipeline layout and reduces the risk of leakage. At the same time, the hourglass-shaped oil circuit design of the valve block housing 22 improves the oil flow efficiency and the response speed is faster.

[0046] The reset spring assembly 14 adopts a ring array layout to ensure uniform reset of the brake piston 15; the rigid connection between the front cover 11 and the brake housing 18 and the supporting role of the bearing 13 ensure the structural stability during braking and reduce vibration and abnormal noise.

[0047] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: When the equipment needs to brake, high-pressure oil enters the valve block housing 22 from the oil inlet 23 of the oil pressure control braking mechanism 2, is guided to the oil pressure interface 21 through the hourglass-shaped oil circuit, and then enters the brake piston 15 chamber inside the brake housing 18 through the pressure oil port 19; under the action of oil pressure, the brake piston 15 overcomes the elastic force of the return spring group 14 and moves towards the static friction plate group 16 and the dynamic friction plate group 17, so that the two sets of friction plates arranged alternately squeeze each other to generate friction force, which is transmitted to the wheel through the spline bushing 12 to achieve the braking effect;

[0048] Braking force adjustment is accomplished through hydraulic control braking mechanism 2: rotating the pressure adjusting screw 29 can drive the adjusting plate 28 to compress or loosen the pressure adjusting spring 27, changing the throttling pressure of the valve core assembly 25 on the oil circuit; when it is necessary to increase the braking force, tightening the pressure adjusting screw 29 increases the elasticity of the pressure adjusting spring 27, increases the resistance of the valve core assembly 25 on the oil circuit, increases the oil pressure entering the brake piston 15, increases the pressure between the friction plates, and enhances the braking force; conversely, loosening the pressure adjusting screw 29 reduces the oil pressure and decreases the braking force; after braking, the high-pressure oil flows back through the return port 24, the reset spring assembly 14 pushes the brake piston 15 to reset, the friction plates separate, and the brake is released;

[0049] By cooperating with the pressure adjusting screw 29, the pressure adjusting spring 27 and the valve core assembly 25, the brake oil pressure can be continuously adjusted according to the working conditions, so as to realize the linear adjustment of the braking force and adapt to the braking needs of different scenarios such as no load, full load, and downhill.

[0050] The hydraulic control braking mechanism 2 is directly connected to the pressure oil port 19 of the brake body 1 through the hydraulic interface 21, which simplifies the pipeline layout and reduces the risk of leakage. At the same time, the hourglass-shaped oil circuit design of the valve block housing 22 improves the oil flow efficiency and the response speed is faster.

[0051] The static friction pad assembly 16 and the dynamic friction pad assembly 17 are in the oil-immersed environment of the brake housing 18. With the sealing structure of the spline bushing 12 and the bearing 13, dust and moisture are effectively isolated. At the same time, the oil circulation can quickly remove friction heat and extend the service life of the friction pads.

[0052] The reset spring assembly 14 adopts a ring array layout to ensure uniform reset of the brake piston 15; the rigid connection between the front cover 11 and the brake housing 18 and the supporting role of the bearing 13 ensure the structural stability during braking and reduce vibration and abnormal noise.

[0053] The module end cap 26 is connected to the valve block housing 22 by bolts, which facilitates the inspection and replacement of components such as the valve core assembly 25 and the pressure regulating spring 27; the friction plate assembly adopts a modular design, which can be quickly disassembled and replaced, reducing maintenance costs.
