Description

  The present invention relates to a brake device used for a hoisting machine or the like.

  In the conventional hoisting machine, a pair of left and right electromagnetic brakes are arranged to face the inner peripheral surface of the brake drum by 180 °. The electromagnetic brake is an internal expansion type brake device built in a brake drum, and includes a stationary iron core and a movable iron core, and a brake shoe is attached to the movable iron core. The brake is released by energizing the coil built in the fixed iron core and sucking the movable iron core.

  Further, the energization to the coil is interrupted to release the suction, and the hoisting machine is braked by pressing the brake shoe against the brake drum with the force of the spring built in the fixed iron core. The spring is inserted and held in a fixing hole provided in the yoke of the fixed iron core. Usually, two springs are inserted at symmetrical positions.

  The brake shoe is provided with a friction material, and the brake shoe and the movable iron core are connected by one or two connecting members. The connecting member and the brake shoe are connected to the brake shoe via a spherical seat. It is comprised so that it may contact elastically with retainers, such as the fixed leaf | plate spring piece (for example, refer patent document 1 and patent document 2).

JP 2002-303341 A (page 3, FIG. 5) JP 2007-2906 A (4th page, FIG. 2)

  Since the brake shoe is displaced in the axial direction of the brake drum during repeated braking and release, in the conventional brake device, the axial center is prevented in order to prevent the brake shoe from moving in the axial direction of the brake drum. It was necessary to provide a pair of misalignment prevention members that sandwich the brake shoe from the direction.

  In addition, the bolt for attaching the retainer such as a leaf spring piece for elastically contacting the brake shoe and the connecting member is fastened in a direction perpendicular to the axis of the brake drum. It was difficult to adjust the retainer by inserting a tool into the brake drum.

  The present invention has been made to solve the above-described problems, and not only does the position shift prevention member become unnecessary, but also makes it unnecessary to adjust a retainer such as a leaf spring piece, and is inexpensive and easy to assemble. The purpose is to obtain a brake device.

A brake device according to the present invention is built in a cylindrical brake drum that rotates about an axis, and is disposed at a position opposite to the center of the shaft by 180 ° corresponding to the inner peripheral surface of the brake drum. A pair of electromagnetic brake parts having a fixed iron core and a movable iron core constituting the electromagnet,
Brake shoes that can be pressed against the inner peripheral surface of the brake drum,
A pressing arm that is fixedly attached to the movable iron core and presses the inner diameter side surface of the brake shoe;
A friction material attached to a surface that presses the inner peripheral surface of the brake drum in the brake shoe;
A housing for fixing the electromagnetic brake part;
A pair of protrusions having torque receiving surfaces opposed to both end surfaces of the brake shoe in the circumferential direction on the housing;
In the internal expansion type brake device having
The brake shoe is connected at both ends of the brake shoe to the projecting portions facing each other via a leaf spring having rigidity in the axial direction of the brake drum, and the inner side surface of the brake shoe is pressed in the direction of the pressing arm. It is characterized in that it is attached to the housing by being constantly energized .

Since the translational movement of the brake shoe in the axial direction of the brake drum is constrained by a leaf spring having high in-plane rigidity (having rigidity in the axial direction of the brake drum), even if there is no movement prevention member, the brake shoe Will not translate.

  In addition, in the electromagnetic brake assembly process, conventionally, the gap between the brake shoe and the brake drum was adjusted after connecting the brake shoe and the pressing arm erected on the movable iron core. In the brake device of the invention, the brake shoe and the pressing arm abut simultaneously with the adjustment of the clearance between the brake shoe and the brake drum.

The best mode for carrying out the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

  The brake shoe 3 has a rectangular flat pad portion, and a substantially bowl-shaped friction material (slidable contact / pressure contact) that can freely come into direct contact (sliding contact / pressure contact) with the inner peripheral surface 1a of the brake drum 1 on the radially outer surface of the pad portion A lining material 13 is attached.

  The fixed iron core 8, the movable iron core 9, and the brake shoe 3 are sequentially arranged from the axial center O of the brake drum 1 toward the inner peripheral surface 1a, and are provided in parallel to the central section reference line L. .

  Further, the housing 2 is integrally provided with a pair of protrusions 16, and the brake shoe 3 is disposed between each pair of protrusions 16.
