Background technique
The disk type braker of the above-mentioned type is used for heavy-duty machine application, such as oil well drill pipe and surface mining equipment; And, in a particular application, can urgent brake be used as.An example of such break adopts the diameter and the disconnection of 5,578,000in-lbs (630,282 Ns of rice) or the rotor disk of starting torque with 50 inches (127cm).
See Fig. 6 and 7, friction plate has been arranged on pressure plate 1, and pressure plate 1 is fixed to the housing 2 forming annular pressure chamber 3 by spacer element 4 and bolt 5.The annular piston 6 be arranged in chamber 3 has the aperture be positioned slidably on spacer element 4.Pressure plate 1 has the aperture be received within slidably on spacer element 7; And piston 6 is fastened on annular static mounting plate 8 via the Peripheral-array of screw column 19 and locking nut 19a crossing spacer element 7, makes the pressurized with fluid in chamber cause housing and pressure plate 1 to move axially.Rotor disk 9,10 is received within drive hub 11 and spline joint moves axially about wheel hub 11 on spline 10 to allow described dish thereon, maintains simultaneously and engages with the rotating drive of wheel hub.Multiple retardation pressure spring 12 is arranged around piston 6 with Peripheral-array, and one end of each spring abuts piston 6, and the opposite end of each spring abuts pressure plate 1.In operation, when there is no hydrodynamic pressure in chamber 3, spring 12 upwardly pressure plate 1 and housing 2 to the left in figs. 6 and 7, thus the friction plate 14 be arranged on around rotor disk 9 is pressed against the annular friction of rotor on the surface, and make rotor disk 9 move to contact with the friction plate 15 be arranged on axially movable annular reaction plate 16, reaction plate 16 moves axially slidably on spacer element 7, but is limited by bolt 19 and spacer element 7 and can not rotate.Reaction plate 16 has the friction plate 17 be arranged on around it, friction plate 17 is forced to be pressed in annular friction on the second rotor disk 10 on the surface, second rotor disk 10 moves axially against the friction plate 18 be arranged on pressure plate 1, therefore whole friction plate is pressed against the detent torque also needed for generation on epitrochanterian whole friction surface.
In operation, when hydrodynamic pressure puts on chamber 3, housing 2 moves and pressure plate 1 is being moved up to the right, spring 12 is made to be pressed against on pressure plate 1, therefore friction plate 14,15,17,18 is discharged, movable platen 16, rotor disk 9,10, with the pressure on pressure plate 1, thus the braking maneuver on release rotor disk 9,10.
The break of above-mentioned prior art has the problem of radially-inwardly region generation cantilever type axial bending under the actuating of spring 12 of pressure plate 1 in service, the radially-inwardly part of pressure plate 1 is made along the left direction axial bending in Fig. 6 and 7, to cause braking force in the radially-inwardly region colocalization of rotor disk; Further, therefore, the initial detent torque being less than desired level is provided by brake engagement.Therefore, expect to provide a kind of Bending Influence eliminating the reaction member of disk type braker also thus the given design level by the power of spring action on friction plate to be realized to method or the means of the initial detent torque expected.
Summary of the invention
The invention provides a kind of disc brake component with one or more rotor disk, described rotor disk opposite side axially has annular friction surface, this dish is by moving vertically to rotatingshaft with spline joint.Toroidal shell has annular piston chamber, and annular piston is arranged in this chamber, to form fluid pressure chambers.Piston bolt is connected to actionless annular mounting plate and uses spacer element axially-spaced with it.Positioning plate is axially set between piston and adjacent rotor disk, and is wherein provided with multiple aperture circumferentially separated with radial direction.Be provided with the movable bracket/support (poppet) for the axial movement relative to aperture in each positioning plate aperture, each bracket have setting thereon, the friction surface of adjacent rotor disk.Each in bracket all by being arranged at spring between bracket and piston by bias voltage vertically, to make the friction surface on it against adjacent rotor disk; And, under spring force, the power of the friction surface on bracket makes rotor axial move with against friction plate, and friction plate is against rotor and the movable reaction plate between rotor disk and mounting plate (being bolted to piston), to produce braking maneuver.Bracket is maintained at the desired locations around adjacent rotor dish, but in addition can move freely a limited amount at axial direction under spring actuated.After introducing hydrodynamic pressure to fluid pressure chambers, housing and positioning plate move away mounting plate vertically; Further, after housing and positioning plate move further, bracket and the friction surface on it are thrown off with adjacent rotor and are contacted, and therefore, braking force is released.
Therefore, brake assembly of the present invention provides required starting braking force in the following way, namely, bracket is pushed against on rotor disk by spring respectively, and on the friction surface of rotor disk, provide uniform braking force thus, and have nothing to do with the bending of positioning plate, realize the initial detent torque expected thus.
