The brake pad 803 is slidably disposed on the brake support bracket 801 and has a degree of freedom in a direction perpendicular to the contact surface of the brake rail 812, the brake pad 803 is movably connected with the brake connecting piece 802, and the brake pad 803 moves on the brake support bracket 801 as the brake connecting piece 802 rotates. Like this, through the restriction to the degree of freedom of brake block 803 on brake support frame 801 for two brake blocks 803 keep the horizontality with brake track 812 during the brake, thereby friction area when can increasing the brake increases the brake friction, improves brake efficiency and increases the life of brake block 803.
The brake support 801 is provided with a sliding groove 807 extending along the sliding direction of the brake pad 803, and the brake pad 803 is provided with a second movable shaft 808 extending into the sliding groove 807, so that the brake pad 803 can move along the sliding groove 807. The degree of freedom of the brake pad 803 can be determined by the manner in which the second movable shaft 808 cooperates with the chute 807. Preferably, the corresponding runners 807 of the two brake pads 803 are located on the same vertical line.
The end of the brake pad 802 is further provided with a brake pad connecting piece 809, a waist hole for the second movable shaft 808 to pass through is processed on the brake pad connecting piece 809, the length of the waist hole is larger than that of the second movable shaft 808, and when the brake pad rotates, the brake pad connecting piece moves along with the brake pad and moves in the waist hole through the displacement of the second movable shaft 808, so that the brake pad 803 moves along with the movement in the chute 807. The waist hole is shaped in a general direction along the brake pad 802 so that it has sufficient capacity to release the relative displacement between the brake pad 802 and the brake pad 803 in a direction parallel to the brake interface when the brake pad 802 is rotated. In addition, the second movable shaft 808 and the sliding groove 807, and the waist hole are all kept axially positioned and fixed, and can be realized by adopting structures such as a clamping spring or a nut. The brake pad connecting piece 809 can adopt an inverted U-shaped structure, two side walls of the inverted U-shaped structure are respectively provided with a through waist hole, the top of the brake pad 803 is arranged in the inverted U-shaped structure of the brake pad connecting piece 809, two sides of the brake pad 803 horizontally protrude outwards to form a second movable shaft 808, and the second movable shaft 808 respectively penetrates through the waist holes and the sliding grooves 807.
The shape of the cam 805 preferably satisfies: when the cam 805 rotates to the vertical position, the two brake pads 803 on the other side are relatively snapped to close to the brake rail 812, and when the cam 805 rotates to the lateral position, the two brake pads 803 on the other side are relatively sprung to be separated from the brake rail 812. The shape of the cam 805 is similar to an ellipse, and the end portions of the two brake connecting pieces 802 are also processed into arc surfaces and the like which are matched with the surface of the cam 805 as much as possible, so that smoothness between the cam 805 and the brake connecting pieces 802 can be ensured when the cam 805 rotates.
