The invention provides an adjustable pneumatic
brake and an adjusting method, and relates to the technical field of brakes, the adjustable pneumatic
brake comprises a box body, a power executing mechanism, a
brake arm and a force amplifying mechanism, the power executing mechanism comprises an air cylinder and an
elastic energy storage
assembly, and the
elastic energy storage
assembly comprises a disc spring shaft, a disc spring set and a shaft seat; the disc spring shaft is connected with the air cylinder
piston rod and penetrates through the shaft seat, and the disc spring set is sleeved at the
tail end of the disc spring shaft. And two groups of symmetrically arranged brake arms are hinged in the box body, and one ends extend out of the bottom of the box body. The force amplifying mechanism comprises a connector, an adjustable connecting rod and an adjusting structure, the connector is fixed to the
tail end of the disc spring shaft, and the two ends of the adjustable connecting rod are hinged to the connector and the brake arm respectively. When the air cylinder drives, the disc spring set is compressed to open the brake arm, and when pressure is released, the disc spring set drives the brake arm to clamp through the force amplifying mechanism. A force transmission path is adjusted through a mechanical structure, the adjusting range is expanded while the
structural stability is kept, the braking force can be dynamically adjusted according to the
friction coefficient, and the problem that the adjusting range of a traditional pneumatic brake is insufficient is solved.
