Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model specifically relates to the field of traction machine technology, and more specifically to a heavy-duty external rotor shaft brake traction machine. Background Technology
[0002] The traction machine is the core drive component of an elevator, often referred to as its "heart," and its safety and reliability directly affect the overall safety and reliability of the elevator. As competition in the elevator market intensifies, miniaturization, thinning, and lightweighting of traction machines are becoming increasingly popular to reduce costs and enhance market competitiveness.
[0003] Chinese Patent Application No. 202222587989.3 provides a machine room-less traction machine and elevator equipment, including a base, a first brake, a second brake, a motor junction box, and a brake junction box.
[0004] The traction machine in the aforementioned patent uses a brake-holding structure, which is a braking method that acts directly on the outer rotor. This braking method has a large contact area between the brake and the outer rotor, resulting in high noise. In particular, heavy-duty elevators require strong braking torque to ensure safe braking. External rotor brake-holding traction machines usually need to arrange two brakes on both sides of the machine base to brake the outer ring surface of the outer rotor, which is relatively complex. The brake pads of the external rotor brake-holding traction machine have a large friction with the outer ring surface of the outer rotor, resulting in relatively severe wear. It is necessary to frequently adjust the gap between the brake pads and the outer ring surface of the rotor, resulting in a large amount of maintenance work and high costs. Utility Model Content
[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a heavy-duty external rotor shaft brake traction machine. The brake of the shaft brake traction machine acts directly on the shaft, resulting in a relatively simple structure, fewer parts, fewer potential failure points, and higher reliability. Furthermore, the braking method of the shaft brake traction machine makes the braking process smoother and quieter, contributing to a quieter living environment. This addresses the technical problems mentioned in the background section.

The diameter of the armature's shaft hole is smaller than the diameter of the gear cylinder, and the diameter of the armature's shaft hole is larger than the outer diameter of the gear. A friction disc is also provided on the outer side of the brake disc. The friction disc is threadedly connected to the fixing bolt.

[0017] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0018] 1. In this utility model, when the magnetic core is de-energized, the brake spring quickly ejects the armature; the armature pushes the brake disc to slide along the gear axis through the gear cylinder, and causes the brake disc to close with the friction disc, thereby achieving transmission shaft braking under the action of friction.
[0019] 2. In this utility model, the axle brake assembly acts directly on the axle, which has a relatively simple structure, fewer parts, fewer failure points, and higher reliability; moreover, the braking method of the axle brake assembly makes the braking process smoother and the noise lower, which is conducive to creating a quiet living environment.
[0020] 3. In special circumstances, manual braking is required in this invention. In this case, the swing frame is swung toward the brake disc. The push spring is compressed and its elastic force increases. Then the push spring forcibly pushes out the armature, causing the brake disc and friction disc to close. Attached Figure Description
