The present invention relates to brake shoe hold down clip, be used for compressing a brake shoe with respect to relevant drum brake support plate.This type of pressing clip is used between the web of the head that compresses pin and relevant brake shoe usually, and the other end that compresses pin engages the support plate of this drum brake.
This type of pressing clip is well-known, for example is shown among B. P. No.2000561 and the No.2320302.
Though the performance of this type of pressing clip is satisfactory substantially, may encounter problems aspect the motion of support plate coming control brake watt to leave in the mode that can handle normal brake application operation and also can handle under some dynamics state extreme brake load that can appearance.
The form that the purpose of this invention is to provide a kind of improved pressing clip, it can overcome or alleviate above-mentioned difficulties to small part.
Therefore, according to the present invention, a kind of brake shoe hold down clip is provided, its shape can provide a kind of nonlinear spring to be used for resisting the motion that brake shoe leaves support plate, and this compresses and accompanies one and can resist that lower spring speed and one that brake shoe leaves the small movements of support plate becomes that the response brake shoe leaves the bigger motion of support plate and the higher spring speed of operating.
Be appreciated that, a kind of so nonlinear spring speed can will be lower spring speed be designed to the motion that during the normal running of break opposing brake shoe leaves support plate, and being provided hand brake function and service braking function maybe when violent braking occurring simultaneously as driving when brake shoe when some high living load occurring, a kind of higher spring speed enters operation.Therefore in the whole operation scope of brake shoe, can provide more suitably controlling level.Simultaneously and since during the break normal running opposing brake shoe to leave the spring speed of motion of support plate lower, the friction between brake shoe and the support plate is lower, therefore when applying braking, overcomes this frictional force and the braking effort of wasting is less.The higher spring speed of follow-up higher frictional force just just enters operation when needs.
This nonlinear spring speed is that the shape owing to pressing clip obtains.
In a kind of preferred structure, this pressing clip comprises a spring ring, this spring ring has the end of a ring and further leaves the ring part of this end, the end of this ring is designed to contact this brake shoe and lower spring speed is provided, and farther ring partly is designed to contact this brake shoe and makes more rigidity of this ring from this end, thereby the response brake shoe leaves the bigger motion of support plate and higher speed is provided.
In a preferred structure, this clip comprises that engages relevant central standing part and two the outer spring ring parts of stretching out than the two ends of this central authorities' standing part that compress the head of pin, these rings part is stretched out and is contacted brake shoe and normally keep spaced relationship with this standing part to relevant brake shoe, if brake shoe tends to move away this relevant support plate, these spring sections just are arranged to deform so.
The free end of these spring rings contacts brake shoe easily usually and provides lower spring speed to the small motion that brake shoe leaves support plate, contact brake shoe when the ancon of each spring ring is provided in brake shoe and leaves the bigger motion of support plate, make more rigidity of each ring, thereby higher spring speed is provided.
Preferably, this pressing clip is arranged to limit the possible motion that brake shoe leaves support plate.
This can finish through the following steps: a bonding point is set on clip comes such engage brake watt web, make pressing clip become firm significantly, and prevent that brake shoe from leaving the further motion of support plate, perhaps two-part of this clip itself can enter contact and make clip firm significantly, thereby the restriction brake shoe leaves the motion of support plate.
For example, the flange that forms on the central standing part of pressing clip can be arranged to contact the web of brake shoe, leaves the motion of support plate with the restriction brake shoe.Or the central standing part of pressing clip can is arranged to or contact to the flange on the free end of spring ring, and the contiguous ring centering that perhaps contacts each corresponding spring ring is entreated the stacked incline section of the attachment of standing part.
Pressing clip preferably includes the relevant groove that compresses pin of packing into, contact area around this groove has one, this district can be taper, sphere or rectangle, the part that the cooperatively interacts taper of the head that compresses pin that their contacts are relevant, spherical or rectangle.
The present invention also provides a kind of brake shoe hold down clip, this pressing clip comprises the central standing part and two outer spring parts of stretching out and being in contact with it to this relevant brake shoe that engage the relevant head that compresses pin, thereby make this standing part and its normally keep spaced relationship, if this spring section is configured to brake shoe and tends to move away relevant support plate, then just distortion of this spring section.
