Description

Torque release device with centrifugal force modulation function

The invention relates to a torsion release device, in particular to a torsion overload release device with a centrifugal force modulation function.

Generally, the device with the torque overload release function is designed to limit the torque. Usually, the torque limiting spring is included to give a fixed set torque value. Once the torque value is exceeded, the device will release the load, so that the input end and the output end. Disconnected, no more torque can be transmitted, commonly used in torsion wrenches. However, such a torque limiting device completely uses the initially set torque value as an overload limitation. Even if it is an adjustable torque limiter, the limited torque setting must be completed before use, and once it starts to function, it cannot follow the operating condition. Adjust the maximum transmitted torque value. In addition, when the torque overload is disconnected, the torque cannot be continuously transmitted, resulting in insufficient driving force or energy loss.

The invention relates to a torsion overload release device with a centrifugal force modulation function, which comprises: an active part, a passive part, a bearing part, a plurality of centrifugal friction blocks, a plurality of elastic elements and a plurality of adjusting springs. Referring to FIG. 1, the appearance of the device body is similar to that of the coupling (only one of the exemplary configurations of the present invention), and different rotor structures can be respectively connected at the left and right ends, and the bearing member is separated between the active member and the passive member. Connect, so that the two can rotate freely. The first end of the centrifugal friction block inside the device is connected with the active member in a radial sliding pair manner. Therefore, the centrifugal friction block generates an outward centrifugal force when the device rotates; the second end of the centrifugal friction block is affixed with friction material, and passive The friction plate of the piece is in contact with the surface, and the torque input from the active part can be transmitted to the passive part through the centrifugal friction block. The elastic component is a component capable of providing a compressive load, and is disposed on the second end of the centrifugal friction block. The two ends of the elastic component respectively contact the shoulders of the active component and the centrifugal friction block to provide a space between the centrifugal friction block and the passive component. Pre-force. Therefore, when the device is in operation, the pre-force provided by the elastic member is combined with the centrifugal force caused by the rotation of the centrifugal friction block itself, and a positive force is applied to the passive member. At this time, the maximum torque that can be transmitted is the positive force multiplied by the positive force. The maximum static friction coefficient between the two, once the maximum transmittable torque is exceeded, the friction disc surface of the centrifugal friction block and the passive part will slip. At this time, the relationship between the two is changed from the original maximum static friction to the sliding friction, and the transmitted torque is transmitted. Therefore, it is lowered. In addition, the device has a centrifugal force modulation function, that is, the maximum transmittable torque will be affected by the rotation speed of the device: the higher the rotational speed, the greater the torque that can be transmitted; the lower the rotational speed, the smaller the torque that can be transmitted.

The concept of the invention can not only be used as a torsion overload release device between two axes, but also can be widely applied to different types of rotating objects, and provides a torque release or protection when subjected to an excessive torque load. For example: First, the anti-lock brake device of the vehicle. When the driver makes an emergency stop, the excessive torque of the brakes acts on the wheels, and the wheels are instantly locked. The vehicle then slips and loses controllability, which not only causes an increase in the braking distance, but also may cause the vehicle to overturn. By using the invention, the excessive torque can be released, while the braking force output is continuously provided, and the braking torque can be dynamically modulated with the wheel speed. Second, the engine anti-extinguishing device. When the hand truck is in the gear, it is necessary to control the engine speed and clutch engagement. If the clutch is engaged too fast and the engine has not enough torque to drive the vehicle, the engine will be turned off. With the present invention, it is possible to avoid the problem of engine stall caused by improper operation of the clutch. Third, the fan anti-pinch protection device. The general fan motor output shaft is directly connected to the fan blade. If a finger or other foreign object is caught in the fan blade, in addition to causing injury, the fan motor may also cause the motor to overheat and burn out due to being forced to stop rotating. By using the invention, the device is assembled between the output shaft of the motor and the blade, so that the overload torque can be released when the foreign object is clamped, not only to avoid accidents, but also to protect the motor.

The invention has a wide application field, and is hereby applied to an anti-lock brake device with a centrifugal force modulation function. The device is applicable to a variety of vehicles, and is described herein as a model of a vehicle type.

The anti-lock brake device with the centrifugal force modulation function returns the centrifugal friction block by the centrifugal force caused by the rotation of the wheel, and together with the preload of the elastic component, provides the braking torque transmitted to the wheel. When the driver over-presses the brakes, the device can automatically adjust the braking force according to the state of the wheel speed at that time, so that the wheel does not cause the braking distance to increase due to the locking and the phenomenon that the wheel slips or rolls over. This device not only does not require the use of electronic equipment, but also is small in size, easy to assemble, and can be easily mounted on wheels, especially for bicycles and locomotives. The device can be divided into two design configurations: the disc configuration and the drum configuration. The principle of the two configurations is the same, but the design is somewhat different from the part size specifications.

I. Disc Configuration Referring to FIG. 4, the apparatus includes a fixing base 10a, a brake outer disc 20a, a bearing member 30, a plurality of centrifugal friction blocks 11, a plurality of elastic members 110, and a plurality of adjusting screws 12. The fixing base 10a is provided with a plurality of circular holes, and the fixing seat 10a can be locked to the wheel by screws; the brake outer disk 20a is connected to the disc brake mechanism 50, and the external braking torque can be accepted; the plurality of centrifugal friction blocks 11 and plural The elastic member 110 is mounted on the radial screw hole of the fixing base 10a, and the centrifugal friction block 11 is slidable up and down in the screw hole. The two ends of the elastic member 110 respectively contact the centrifugal friction block 11 and the adjusting screw 12, and a setting is given during installation. Preloading to provide a base positive force of the centrifugal friction block 30 and the brake outer disk 10; the plurality of adjustment screws 12, which are fitted to the radial screw holes of the fixing seat 10a, can make the elastic member 110 easy to assemble and adjust its preload The bearing member 30 is mounted on the bearing slot of the fixed seat 10a and the outer disk 20a of the brake, so that the fixed seat 10a and the brake outer disk 20a are coaxial and can rotate freely.

When the driver operates the brakes under normal conditions (ie, the pressing force is not large), the disc brake mechanism applies the brake torque to the brake outer disc 20a, and then transmits the brake torque to the fixed seat 10a through the centrifugal friction block 11 (at this time, centrifugation) The friction block 11 and the brake outer disk 20a are in a static friction state, and then input to the wheel to provide the vehicle braking force. However, when an emergency is encountered and the driver instantaneously presses a large braking operation force, the excessive braking torque causes the brake outer disk 20a to be locked. At this time, the centrifugal force of the centrifugal friction block 11 and the outward thrust of the elastic member 110 are insufficient to provide centrifugal friction. The forward force required to engage the block 11 with the brake outer disk 20a, thus causing the centrifugal friction block 11 to start slipping due to insufficient engagement friction (the dynamic friction state between the centrifugal friction block 11 and the brake outer disk 20a), and the torque input to the wheel brake Drop to prevent the wheel from locking.

2. Drumstick Configuration Referring to FIG. 6, the device includes a fixing base 10b, a bearing member 30, a plurality of centrifugal friction blocks 11, a plurality of elastic members 110, and a plurality of adjusting screws 12. The fixing seat 10b is fixed to the wheel axle 401 through the bearing member 30; the plurality of centrifugal friction blocks 11 and the plurality of elastic members 110 are assembled on the radial screw holes of the fixing base 10b, and the centrifugal friction block 11 and the screw holes can slide up and down freely. The two ends of the elastic member 110 are respectively contacted with the centrifugal friction block 11 and the adjusting screw 12, and are installed with a set preload to provide a basic forward force of the centrifugal friction block 11 and the wheel drum; the plurality of adjusting screws 12 are assembled The radial screw holes of the fixing seat 10b allow the elastic member 110 to be easily assembled and its preload can be adjusted.

When the driver operates the brake in a normal situation, the drum brake mechanism applies the brake torque to the inner friction surface of the fixed seat 10b, and transmits the brake torque to the wheel through the centrifugal friction block 11 (at this time, the centrifugal friction block 11 and the wheel drum) For static friction). However, when an emergency is encountered and the driver momentarily presses a large braking operation force, the excessive braking torque causes the fixing seat 10b to be locked. At this time, the centrifugal force of the centrifugal friction block 11 and the outward thrust of the elastic member 110 are insufficient to provide a centrifugal friction block. 11 The positive force required to engage the wheel drum, thus causing the centrifugal friction block 11 to start to slip due to insufficient engagement friction (the frictional friction between the centrifugal friction block 11 and the wheel drum), and the torque input to the wheel is reduced, that is, It prevents the wheel from locking up.
