摘要 | Brake arrangement, particularly for railway vehicles, where brake pads (7, 8) are in a facing relationship with a brake disc (9), pressed against the disc (9) by means of a pin (6) and at least one spring (5) acting on the pin (6), and where the motion of this pin (6) is derived from linear advance movement of a motion screw (2) with a nut (3) relative to rotary movement of a rotor of an electric motor (1). The nut (3) of the motion screw (2) as well as the pin (6) are in contact with the arm of the first order lever (4), while the area of contact of the nut (3) of the motion screw (2) and the lever (4) is farther from the axis of rotation of the lever (4) than the area of contact of the pin (6) and the lever (4). In order to reduce the coefficient of contact friction between the lever (4) and the nut (3) of the motion screw (2), the lever (4) or the nut (3) can be fitted, in the area of their contact, with a contact element (15) with rounded or spherical surface. In order to reduce the coefficient of contact friction between the lever (4) and the pin (6), the lever (4) can be fitted, in the area of their contact, with a rolling element. | ||||||

说明书全文 | The invention relates to an arrangement for a brake with a floating caliper or with a floating disc, particularly for railway vehicles. A large portion of electro-mechanical disc brakes use a motion screw in their design, one of the solutions is described in the There is often an insufficient range of transmission ratio involved and a more complex design, which are limiting factors for their use in heavy vehicles, for example railway vehicles. The object of this invention is the arrangement of a brake with high transmission ratio, which is compact and with reduced requirements for mounting space. The subject of the invention is an arrangement for a brake, particularly for railway vehicles, where brake pads are in a facing relationship with a brake disc, pressed against the disc by means of a pin and at least one spring acting on the pin, and where the motion of this pin is derived from linear advance movement of a motion screw with a nut linked to rotary movement of a rotor of an electric motor. The substance of the invention is such an arrangement where the nut of the motion screw as well as the pin are in contact with the arm of the first order lever, while the area of contact of the nut of the motion screw and the lever is farther from the axis of rotation of the lever than the area of contact of the pin and the lever. The motion screw can feature a ball, trapezoidal or tapered design, namely in single- or multiple-thread design. In order to reduce the coefficient of contact friction between the lever and the nut of the motion screw, it is possible to fit the lever or the nut in the area of their contact with a contact element with rounded or spherical surface. This surface may consist of a separate shaped member mounted on one or on the other component according to the selected type of design. In order to reduce the coefficient of contact friction between the lever and the pin, the lever in the area of their contact is fitted with a rolling element, for example, a rolling bearing or element with rounded or spherical contact surface. High transmission ratio is primarily the advantage of this brake arrangement, which is suitable for very heavy vehicles, particularly for railway vehicles. Compactness, lesser requirements for mounting space and, in particular, structural simplicity with high rigidity of the mechanism and related favourable performance/price ratio are other advantages. High safety is an important aspect and, therefore, the pressing force is generated by means of springs (energy accumulator) with automatic magnitude setting independent of wear and tear of the brake lining and brake disc. The electric motor with the mechanism described hereinafter serves the purpose of releasing the brake. The attached drawings show examples of the design of this invention. The subject of this invention is a design of a brake with a floating caliper or with a floating disc, which is particularly designed for rolling stock. Brake pads 7, 8 are arranged to bear against a brake disc 9 by means of a prestressed spring or a set of springs 5, which act on a pin 6 ( The nut 3 of motion screw 2 as well as the pin 6 are in contact with the arm of first order lever 4, while the area of contact of the nut 3 of motion screw 2 and the lever 4 is farther from the axis of rotation of the lever 4 than the area of contact of the pin 6 and the lever 4. Moving the nut 3 moves the first order lever 4. The lever 4 pushes against springs 5, thus moving the pin 6 and releasing the brake pads 7, 8. Once the electric motor 1 is released, the force of springs 5 will cause spontaneous movement of the motion screw 2, nut 3, lever 4 and the pin 6, thus bringing the brake pads 7, 8 to bear against the brake disc 9. The nut of ball screw 3 is fitted, in the place of mutual contact with the lever 4, with a contact element 15 with contoured surface or similarly shaped surface to reduce contact friction between the parts.
