It should be noted that, without conflict, the embodiments of the present application and features of the embodiments may be combined with each other. The application will be described in detail below with reference to the drawings in connection with embodiments.
Referring to fig. 1 to 3, the present embodiment provides a tread brake for braking wheels of a railway vehicle. The tread brake of this embodiment comprises a brake shoe 1, a brake head 2 and a stop pad 3. Wherein, the brake shoe 1 is used for being attached to the wheel during braking; the brake head 2 is connected with the brake shoe 1 to support the brake shoe 1; the stop pad 3 is connected to an end of the brake head 2 remote from the brake shoe 1 to stop the brake head 2 as the brake head 2 rotates relative to the brake shoe 1.
In this embodiment, the stop pad 3 is provided, so that when the brake shoe 1 and the brake head 2 tend to swing from an angle, the stop pad 3 will form a stop force on the brake head 2, preventing the brake shoe 1 and the brake head 2 from swinging, and further ensuring that the brake shoe 1 and the wheel tread always keep the maximum fit. Compared with the prior art without the stop pad 3, the stop pad 3 in the embodiment can apply a positive pressure to the brake head 2, and when the brake shoe 1 and the brake head 2 have a trend of angle swinging due to vehicle vibration and the like, the stop pad 3 can generate a stop resistance to the brake head 2 to prevent the brake shoe 1 and the brake head 2 from swinging, so that the brake shoe 1 and the tread of the wheel are ensured to be always attached to the maximum extent, and further the braking effect of the tread brake is ensured.
As shown in fig. 1 to 3, in the present embodiment, the tread brake further includes a cylinder 4, a gland 5, and a disc spring 6. The cylinder 4 is connected with the brake shoe 1 to provide braking force to the brake shoe 1; the gland 5 is fixedly connected with the cylinder 4; the first end of the disc spring 6 is fixedly connected with the gland 5, and the second end of the disc spring 6 is connected with the stop pad 3 to provide power for the stop pad 3 to stop the brake head 2 from rotating.
The cylinder 4 is used for providing braking force to the brake shoe 1 so that the brake shoe 1 is attached to the tread of the wheel to realize the braking of the wheel.
Specifically, as shown in fig. 2, in the present embodiment, there are two pressing caps 5, the pressing caps 5 are provided with external threads, the piston rod 41 is provided with two threaded holes which are oppositely arranged, so that the pressing caps 5 are in threaded connection with the piston rod 41, wherein the stop pad 3 is arranged between the brake head 2 and the pressing caps 5, so that the stop pad 3 is pressed on the brake head 2 under the action of the two pressing caps 5 which are oppositely arranged. Because the one end and gland 5 fixed connection of dish spring 6, the other end is connected with backstop pad 3 to when brake head 2 appears rotating the trend, backstop pad 3 keeps motionless under the elasticity effect of dish spring 6, and backstop brake head 2's rotation, and then guarantees brake shoe 1 and the laminating degree of wheel tread, realizes the braking to the wheel.
Preferably, the stop pad 3 in this embodiment is a friction pad. When the brake head 2 tends to rotate, the friction pad generates a frictional resistance to stop the brake head 2 from rotating as the brake head 2 rotates.
As shown in fig. 2 and 3, in this embodiment, the cylinder 4 comprises a piston rod 41, the piston rod 41 having a receiving cavity into which the end of the brake head 2 remote from the brake shoe 1 protrudes, the brake head 2 being provided with a through hole; the tread brake further comprises a rotation pin 21, the rotation pin 21 being inserted in the through hole, the brake head 2 being rotatably arranged around the rotation pin 21, wherein the rotation pin 21 is located in the receiving cavity.
Further, the tread brake also includes a rubber bushing 22, the rubber bushing 22 being disposed between the rotation pin and the brake head.
In this embodiment, when assembling the tread brake, the rubber bush 22 is fitted into the through hole, and then the rotation pin 21 is fitted into the rubber bush 22, so that the brake head 2 can be laterally deflected with respect to the piston rod 41, and wear of the rotation pin 21 can be prevented from occurring when it rotates in the through hole. The pivot pin 21 is then inserted into an internal bore in the inner wall of the piston rod 41, thereby providing a hinged connection between the piston rod 41 and the brake head 2.
Specifically, as shown in fig. 4, when the center of the arc of the brake shoe 1 is not at the same height as the center of the wheel, the arc surface of the brake shoe 1 cannot be fitted to the tread of the wheel. In this case, the upper or lower end of the brake shoe 1 must first contact the wheel, at this time, under the combined action of the brake shoe pressure and the wheel tread, the brake shoe 1 pushes the brake head 2 to rotate around the rotation pin 21, at this time, the extension plane of the brake head 2 also rotates around the rotation pin 21, and the brake head 2 and the stop pad 3 have relative displacement until the brake shoe 1 and the wheel tread are maximally fitted. Due to the elastic force of the disc spring 6, the stop pad 3 always applies a positive pressure to the brake head, and if the brake shoe 1 and the brake head 2 have a tendency to swing angularly due to vehicle vibration and the like, the friction pad forms a friction resistance to the brake head 2 to prevent the brake shoe 1 and the brake head 2 from swinging, so that the brake shoe 1 and the wheel tread always keep the maximum fit.
As shown in fig. 5, when the shoe 1 is deflected laterally from the tread, the shoe 1 cannot fully engage the tread. At this time, one end of the brake shoe 1 in the direction perpendicular to the paper surface must first contact the wheel, at this time, under the combined action of the pressure of the brake shoe 1 and the wheel tread, the rubber bushing 22 deforms, so that the deformation of the disc spring 6 on one side of the brake shoe 1 is increased, the deformation of the disc spring 6 on the other side is reduced, and the brake shoe 1 deflects in the transverse direction, so that the tile surface of the brake shoe 1 is completely attached to the wheel tread in the transverse direction. After the braking is released, the rubber bush 22 and the disc spring 6 are restored to the original state under the action of the self elastic force, and the brake shoe 1 is reset in the transverse direction.
Therefore, through the arrangement, the technical scheme of the embodiment can realize deflection of the brake shoe 1 in two directions, ensure that the brake shoe 1 is kept to be attached to the tread to the greatest extent, ensure the braking effect and protect the tread.
Preferably, as shown in fig. 2, in the present embodiment, the tread brake further includes a plurality of check rings 211, and the check rings 211 are provided at both ends of the rotation pin 21 in the axial direction of the rotation pin 21 to restrict the rotation pin 21 from moving in the axial direction thereof.
By the above arrangement, the movement of the rotation pin 21 in the axial direction can be effectively prevented, and the stable connection between the piston rod 41 and the brake head 2 can be ensured.
As shown in fig. 3, in this embodiment, the piston rod 41 is further provided with a sliding groove 411, the sliding groove 411 is communicated with the accommodating cavity, and the tread brake further comprises a rack 7 and a latch 8. The rack 7 is arranged in the sliding groove 411, and in the axial direction of the piston rod 41, the rack 7 is movably arranged under the drive of the piston rod 41; the first end of the bolt 8 is inserted into the sliding groove 411, and the first end is meshed with the rack 7; when the piston rod 41 extends, the rack 7 moves under the drive of the piston rod 41, and the rack 7 drives the latch 8 to lift in the vertical direction.
Specifically, when the tread brake is braked, compressed air is filled from the air inlet of the air cylinder 4, the compressed air pushes the piston rod 41 to move so as to drag the brake head 2 and the brake shoe 1 to extend towards the wheel, and the brake shoe 1 is pressed on the tread of the wheel, so that the cleaning and braking of the wheel are realized. When the piston rod 41 is extended, the rack 7 will be driven in motion. As shown in fig. 2, the rack 7 is extended leftward by the drive of the piston rod 41, the left tooth surface of the rack 7 acts on the lower end of the plug 8, and the plug 8 is lifted relative to the bush in the axial direction thereof by the drive of the rack 7.
In this embodiment, as shown in fig. 3, the tread brake further comprises a latch cover 9 and a return member 10. A plug pin cover 9 is provided on at least part of the plug pin 8, and the plug pin 8 is provided movably with respect to the plug pin cover 9 in the axial direction of the plug pin 8; one end of the reset piece 10 is abutted with the inner wall surface of the bolt cover 9, and the other end of the reset piece 10 is abutted with a stop shoulder of the bolt 8, so that after the bolt 8 is lifted, the reset piece 10 drives the bolt 8 to reset.
Preferably, the restoring member 10 in this embodiment is a spring.
When the latch 8 is raised, the spring is compressed. As the piston rod 41 continues to extend outwards, the latch 8 slides over the first tooth surface of the rack 7, and then the latch 8 falls under the action of the elastic force of the spring to reset and mesh with the next tooth slot on the rack 7. The lower end of the latch 8 is successively engaged with the teeth on the rack 7 as the distance of forward movement of the piston rod 41 increases.
When the tread brake is released, compressed air in the air cylinder 4 is discharged, the piston rod 41 drives the brake shoe 1 to leave the wheel under the action of the elasticity of the reset spring in the air cylinder 4, and at the moment, the lower end of the bolt 8 and the right tooth surface of the rack 7 form self-locking, so that the rack 7 cannot move rightwards along with the piston rod 41. When the left end of the sliding groove 411 is abutted against the left end of the rack 7, the piston rod 41 stops moving, so that the retraction distance of the piston rod 41 is controlled, the distance between the brake shoe 1 and the wheel is kept within a fixed range, and the aim of flexibly adjusting the gap between the brake shoe 1 and the tread of the wheel is fulfilled.
As shown in fig. 1 to 3, in this embodiment, the tread brake further comprises a mounting seat 11 and a guide ring 12. The mounting seat 11 is connected with the outer wall surface of the air cylinder 4 and is used for mounting the bolt 8, and a mounting hole is formed in the mounting seat 11; the guide ring 12 is fixedly installed in the installation hole to limit the rotation of the latch 8.

Through the arrangement, foreign matters such as dust can be effectively prevented from entering the tread brake, and the service life of the tread brake is prolonged.
From the above description, it can be seen that the above embodiments of the present invention achieve the following technical effects:
Due to the arrangement of the stop pad, when the brake shoe and the brake head swing from an angle, the stop pad forms a friction resistance for the brake head to prevent the brake shoe and the brake head from swinging, thereby ensuring that the brake shoe and the wheel tread always keep the maximum fit. Compared with the prior art without a stop pad, the stop pad can apply positive pressure to the brake head, and when the brake shoe and the brake head have the trend of angle swinging due to vehicle vibration and the like, the stop pad can generate stop resistance to the brake head to prevent the brake shoe and the brake head from swinging, so that the brake shoe and the tread of the wheel are always kept to be attached to the greatest extent, and further, the braking effect of the tread brake is ensured.
