The utility model provides a quick
brake device for a heavy
winding machine, which comprises a device body, and a first electric push rod and a second electric push rod are respectively mounted on the inner wall of the device body. Through cooperative use of a first electric push rod, a second electric push rod, a first mounting plate, a second mounting plate, a
brake pad, a first
infrared distance meter and a second
infrared distance meter, the abrasion use condition of the
brake pad can be detected while the
winding machine is braked conveniently, and during work, the
brake pad is prevented from being abraded. The range of measured data of the first
infrared distance meter and the second infrared distance meter is set through the controller, the specific value of the range distance is the distance between the first infrared sensor and the winding roller, and then the value obtained by subtracting the distance between the surface of the first mounting plate and the surface of the first
brake pad is the normal
test distance. When the tested distance value is larger than the normal value by 10 mm, it is indicated that the
brake pad is abraded by 10 mm, and at the moment, the alarm sounds to remind a worker to replace the brake pad in time.
