Background technique
The disk brake of the above-mentioned type is used for heavy-duty machine application, such as oil well drill pipe and surface mining equipment;And
It has been desirable in certain applications, may be used as urgent brake.One example of such brake, which uses, has 50 inches
The disconnection of the diameter and 5,578,000in-lbs (630,282 Ns of rice) of (127cm) or the rotor disk of starting torque.
Referring to Fig. 6 and 7, friction plate is already installed on pressure plare 1, and pressure plare 1 is fixed to shape by spacer 4 and bolt 5
Circularize the shell 2 of pressure chamber 3.The annular piston 6 being set in chamber 3, which has, to be slidably housed on spacer 4
Aperture.Pressure plare 1 has the aperture being slidably received on spacer 7;And piston 6 is via the spiral shell for crossing spacer 7
The Peripheral-array and lock nut 19a of line column 19 are fastened on annular static installation plate 8, so that the fluid pressurization of chamber leads to shell
It is moved axially with pressure plare 1.Rotor disk 9,10 is accepted on drive hub 11 and spline connection on it is to allow the disk
It is moved axially on spline 10 about wheel hub 11, while maintaining to engage with the rotate driving of wheel hub.Multiple brake pressure springs 12
It is arranged around piston 6 with Peripheral-array, one end of each spring abuts piston 6, and the opposite end of each spring abuts pressure plare 1.
In operation, when there is no Fluid pressure in chamber 3, spring 12 in figs. 6 and 7 push up pressure plare 1 and shell to the left
2, so that the friction plate 14 being arranged in around rotor disk 9 is pressed against on the annular friction surface of rotor, and keep rotor disk 9 mobile
To contact with the friction plate 15 being mounted on axially movable annular reaction plate 16, reaction plate 16 can be slided on spacer 7
It moves axially dynamicly, but by bolt 19 and the limitation of spacer 7 without being able to rotate.There is reaction plate 16 setting to rub surrounding
Pad 17, friction plate 17 are forced on the annular friction surface being pressed on the second rotor disk 10, and the second rotor disk 10 is against being set to
Friction plate 18 on pressure plare 1 moves axially, therefore whole friction plates are pressed against on whole friction surfaces on rotor and are produced
Raw required detent torque.
In operation, when Fluid pressure is applied to chamber 3, shell 2 is mobile and moves up pressure plare 1 in right direction
It is dynamic, it is pressed against spring 12 on pressure plare 1, therefore discharge friction plate 14,15,17,18, movable plate 16, rotor disk 9,10, and pressure
Pressure on power plate 1, to discharge the braking maneuver on rotor disk 9,10.
The brake of the above-mentioned prior art has the radially-inwardly region of pressure plare 1 under the actuating of spring 12 in service
The problem of cantilevered axial bending occurs, so that left direction of the radially-inwardly part in Fig. 6 and 7 of pressure plare 1 is axially curved
Song causes brake force in the radially-inwardly region colocalization of rotor disk;Also, it therefore, is provided and is less than by brake engagement
The initial detent torque of required level.Accordingly, it is desired to provide a kind of Bending Influence for the reaction member for eliminating disk brake
And thus the given design level of the power for being acted on friction plate by spring realizes the side of desired initial detent torque
Method or means.
Summary of the invention
The present invention provides a kind of disc brake components with one or more rotor disks, and the rotor disk is in its axis
To opposite side on there is annular friction surface, which can be axially moveable and being splined to rotation axis.Circular casing
Body has annular piston chamber, and annular piston is set in the chamber, to form fluid pressure chambers.Piston bolt be connected to it is static not
Dynamic annular mounting plate simultaneously uses spacer axially-spaced with it.Positioning plate is axially set between piston and adjacent rotor disk,
And be provided with it is multiple circumferentially with radially spaced apart aperture.It is both provided in each positioning plate aperture for relative to hole
Movable bracket/bracket (poppet) of the axial movement of mouth, each bracket, which has, to be arranged on, abuts rubbing for rotor disk
Wipe surface.Each of bracket is all axially biased by the spring being set between bracket and piston, so that thereon
The rotor disk that friction surface abuts against;Also, under spring force, the power of the friction surface on bracket makes rotor axial
It is mobile with against friction plate, and friction plate is between rotor and rotor disk and mounting plate (being bolted to piston)
Movable reaction plate, to generate braking maneuver.Bracket is maintained at the desired locations around adjacent rotor disk, but in addition to this exists
A limited amount can be moved freely under spring actuated in the axial direction.After introducing Fluid pressure to fluid pressure chambers, shell
Mounting plate is axially displaced away from positioning plate;Also, after shell and positioning plate further movement, bracket and friction thereon
Surface is contacted with adjacent rotor disengagement, and therefore, brake force is released.
Therefore, brake assembly of the invention provides required starting brake force in the following way, that is, spring respectively will
Bracket is pushed against on rotor disk, and uniform brake force is thus provided on the friction surface of rotor disk, and curved with positioning plate
Qu Wuguan is achieved in desired initial detent torque.
