Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of braking technology for engineering machinery, and in particular to a crane boom braking device. Background Technology
[0002] In the field of construction machinery, the crane boom, as a core component for lifting and handling operations, directly affects operational safety and efficiency with its braking performance. Currently, some crane booms employ airbag braking structures, relying on the inflation and deflation of airbags for braking control. However, this type of braking structure is prone to problems such as difficulty in defrosting the airbags and failure to deploy properly in low-temperature environments, leading to brake failure. Furthermore, airbags are prone to leakage after prolonged use, requiring frequent replacements and affecting the normal operation of the crane boom, thus reducing equipment efficiency.
[0003] Furthermore, some existing brake shoe-type braking devices suffer from unreasonable structural design issues, such as insufficient contact between the brake shoe and friction components, and low precision of the adjustment mechanism. This results in poor braking stability and insufficient braking force, making it difficult to meet the high-intensity, high-frequency operation requirements of the crane boom. Therefore, a crane boom braking device with stable structure, reliable braking, and adaptability to complex working conditions is needed to overcome the shortcomings of existing technologies. Utility Model Content
[0004] To address the technical problems existing in the background art, this utility model proposes a crane boom braking device.
[0005] The present invention provides a crane boom braking device, comprising a gear, a friction wheel, a double arc brake shoe, a liner, a connecting plate, a connecting rod, and a threaded sleeve;
[0006] The friction wheel is coaxially fixed to one side end face of the gear, and an annular groove is formed on the side wall of the friction wheel; the double arc-shaped brake shoes are symmetrically arranged in the annular groove, and the lining strip is fixed on both side walls of the double arc-shaped brake shoes, and the lining strip is adapted to the groove wall of the annular groove.
[0007] One end of the double arc-shaped brake shoe forms a first connecting part, and the first connecting part is hinged to a connecting plate by a first pin, and the two sets of connecting plates are hinged to each other by a second pin.
[0008] The other end of the double-arc brake shoe forms a second connecting part, which is hinged to one end of the connecting rod via a third pin. The other ends of the two sets of connecting rods are threadedly connected to the threaded sleeve. Rotating the threaded sleeve can adjust the spacing between the second connecting parts of the double-arc brake shoe to achieve clamping or separation of the liner from the annular groove wall.
[0009] Preferably, the curvature of the double-arc brake shoe matches the curvature of the inner wall of the annular groove of the friction wheel, and the outer contour dimension of the double-arc brake shoe is adapted to the inner contour dimension of the annular groove, so as to ensure that the double-arc brake shoe can move stably in the annular groove.
[0010] Preferably, the liner is made of a wear-resistant friction material, and the liner is fixed to the two side walls of the double arc-shaped brake shoe by a detachable connection.
[0011] Preferably, the two sets of connecting plates have the same structural dimensions, and both sets of connecting plates are perpendicular to the first connecting part of the double arc-shaped brake shoe, so as to achieve stable rotation of the double arc-shaped brake shoe around the pin shaft.
[0012] Preferably, the inner wall of the threaded sleeve is provided with an internal thread, and the outer wall of the connecting rod is provided with an external thread. The pitch and tooth profile of the internal thread and the external thread are matched so that the length adjustment between the connecting rod and the threaded sleeve can be achieved through threaded engagement.
[0013] Preferably, the friction wheel and the gear are integrally formed, or the friction wheel is coaxially fixed to the gear through an intermediate shaft and a nut.
[0014] The crane boom braking device proposed in this utility model has the following beneficial effects:
[0015] The braking performance is stable. The design of the double arc-shaped brake shoe and the annular groove, as well as the vertical setting of the connecting plate, ensures stable movement of the brake shoe during braking. The lining and the groove wall are in full contact to avoid brake failure. It is also unaffected by low temperature environment and can work normally in the temperature range of -30℃ to 60℃.
[0016] The use of trapezoidal thread allows for length adjustment of the connecting rod and threaded sleeve, enabling precise control of the spacing between the double-arc brake shoes. The braking force adjustment error is less than 0.5kN, meeting the braking requirements under different operating conditions.
[0017] Maintenance is convenient. The liner adopts a detachable connection method, and the friction wheel can be removed through the intermediate shaft and nut. During later maintenance, there is no need to disassemble the entire braking device, which shortens maintenance time and reduces maintenance costs.
[0018] Additional aspects and advantages of this invention will be set forth in part in the description which follows, and in part will be obvious from the description, or may be learned by practice of the invention. Attached Figure Description

[0020] Figure 2 This is a partial cross-sectional view of the present invention.
[0021] The following are the labels in the diagram: 1. Gear; 2. Friction wheel; 3. Double arc brake shoe; 4. Liner; 5. Connecting plate; 6. First pin; 7. Second pin; 8. Third pin; 9. Connecting rod; 10. Threaded sleeve. Detailed Implementation
[0022] The embodiments of this utility model are described in detail below. Examples of these embodiments are illustrated in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar symbols denote the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions throughout. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are only used to explain this utility model, and should not be construed as limiting this utility model.
[0023] like Figures 1-2 The diagram shows a crane boom braking device, which includes a gear 1, a friction wheel 2, a double-arc brake shoe 3, a liner 4, a connecting plate 5, a connecting rod 9, and a threaded sleeve 10. The friction wheel 2 is coaxially fixed to one end face of the gear 1, and an annular groove is formed on the side wall of the friction wheel 2. The double-arc brake shoes 3 are symmetrically arranged in the annular groove, and the liner 4 is fixed on both side walls of the double-arc brake shoes 3. The liner 4 is adapted to the groove wall of the annular groove.
[0024] One end of the double arc-shaped brake shoe 3 forms a first connecting part, and the first connecting part is hinged to the connecting plate 5 by a first pin 6, and the two sets of connecting plates 5 are hinged to each other by a second pin 7.
[0025] The double-arc brake shoe is mounted on a mounting bracket via the second pin 7, allowing the double-arc brake shoe 3 to move on a plane.
[0026] The other end of the double arc-shaped brake shoe 3 forms a second connecting part, which is hinged to one end of the connecting rod 9 via a third pin 8. The other ends of the two sets of connecting rods 9 are threadedly connected to the threaded sleeve 10. Rotating the threaded sleeve 10 can adjust the spacing between the second connecting parts of the double arc-shaped brake shoe 3 to achieve clamping or separation of the lining 4 from the annular groove wall.
[0027] The double-arc brake shoe 3 is designed to fit the annular groove: the curvature of the double-arc brake shoe 3 matches the curvature of the inner wall of the annular groove of the friction wheel 2, and the outer contour dimensions of the double-arc brake shoe 3 are adapted to the inner contour dimensions of the annular groove. This design ensures that the double-arc brake shoe 3 can move stably within the annular groove, avoids brake shoe displacement during braking, and ensures full contact between the liner 4 and the annular groove wall.
[0028] The double-arc brake shoe 3 is made of Q235 steel, and its arc is consistent with the arc of the inner wall of the annular groove. Its outer contour size is adapted to the inner contour size of the annular groove, ensuring that the brake shoe can move flexibly in the groove. The lining 4 is made of rubber-based friction material with a thickness of 5mm. It is fixed to the side walls of the brake shoe with M6 bolts with a bolt spacing of 50mm.
[0029] Material and connection method of the lining 4: The lining 4 is made of wear-resistant friction material, preferably rubber-based friction material or resin-based friction material. Such materials have the characteristics of high strength and high wear resistance, which can extend the service life of the lining 4. At the same time, the lining 4 is fixed to the two side walls of the double arc-shaped brake shoe 3 by a detachable connection method, such as bolt connection or snap connection. When the lining 4 is worn, it can be disassembled and replaced separately without replacing the entire brake shoe, thus reducing maintenance costs.
[0030] Optimized structure of connecting plate 5: The two sets of connecting plates 5 have the same structural dimensions, and both are perpendicular to the first connecting part of the double-arc brake shoe 3. This structural design ensures that the double-arc brake shoe 3 is subjected to uniform force when rotating around the pin shaft, avoids brake shoe jamming due to tilting of the connecting plate 5, and improves the stability of brake adjustment.
[0031] The inner wall of the threaded sleeve 10 is provided with an internal thread, and the outer wall of the connecting rod 9 is provided with an external thread. The pitch and tooth profile of the internal and external threads are matched, preferably trapezoidal threads. Trapezoidal threads have the characteristics of high transmission efficiency and strong load-bearing capacity. The length between the connecting rod 9 and the threaded sleeve 10 can be adjusted through precise thread matching, thereby synchronously and precisely controlling the spacing of the double arc brake shoes 3 to ensure the accuracy of braking force adjustment. Gear 1 and friction wheel 2: The friction wheel 2 is coaxially fixed to the gear 1 through the intermediate shaft 11 and the nut 12. The intermediate shaft 11 is made of 45 steel with a diameter of 30mm. One end is connected to the gear 1 through a flat key, and the other end passes through the friction wheel 2 and is locked with an M24 nut. The side wall of the friction wheel 2 has an annular groove with a width of 20mm and a depth of 15mm. The surface roughness of the groove wall is Ra1.6.
[0032] The friction wheel 2 and gear 1 can be integrally molded. The integrally molded structure has the advantages of high connection strength and good coaxiality, which can avoid relative sliding between the friction wheel 2 and gear 1. In addition, the friction wheel 2 can also be coaxially fixed with gear 1 through intermediate shaft 11 and nut 12. Specifically, one end of intermediate shaft 11 is fixed to gear 1, and the other end passes through friction wheel 2 and is locked by nut. This connection method facilitates the disassembly and replacement of friction wheel 2 and is suitable for working conditions where friction wheel 2 is prone to wear.
[0033] In this embodiment, during operation:
[0034] When the boom needs to be braked, the threaded sleeve 10 is rotated. Since the connecting rod 9 and the threaded sleeve 10 are engaged by a trapezoidal thread, the rotation of the threaded sleeve 10 causes the two sets of connecting rods 9 to retract into the sleeve. The distance between the second connecting parts of the double arc brake shoe 3 is reduced. The brake shoe rotates around the first pin 6 and the second pin 7 and moves closer to the wall of the annular groove until the lining 4 is in close contact with the groove wall. The friction between the lining 4 and the groove wall is used to brake the friction wheel 2. Since the friction wheel 2 is fixed coaxially with the gear 1, the gear 1 stops rotating with the friction wheel 2, thereby controlling the main body of the boom to stop moving.
[0035] When the crane boom needs to be released from the brake, the threaded sleeve 10 is rotated in the opposite direction, the connecting rod 9 extends out from the threaded sleeve 10, the distance between the second connecting parts of the double arc brake shoe 3 increases, the brake shoe drives the liner 4 away from the annular groove wall, the friction disappears, the friction wheel 2 rotates synchronously with the gear 1, and the crane boom resumes normal operation.
