 本発明は、ドラムブレーキ装置に関する。 The present invention relates to a drum brake device.
 パーキングブレーキ機構のシュー拡張動作を電動により行うドラムブレーキ装置が知られている(特許文献1参照)。
 図13に示すように、この種のドラムブレーキ装置500は、バッキングプレート501と、第1ブレーキシュー503及び第2ブレーキシュー505における第1ウエブ507及び第2ウエブ509の円弧に沿う一端側の近接端同士に第1爪部511及び第2爪部513がそれぞれ当接する第1押圧部材515及び第2押圧部材517と、第1押圧部材515に回転自在に支持される回転基部519から延出するレバー入力部521が第2ウエブ509とバッキングプレート501の間に配置され、レバー入力部521に連結されたパーキングケーブル523に引張力が加えられて回転基部519が回転されることで回転基部519に突設された押圧部525が第2押圧部材517の被押圧部527を押圧するパーキングレバー529と、を備える。このドラムブレーキ装置500によれば、パーキングブレーキ機構におけるパーキングレバー529をクロスプルタイプで配置した場合において、パーキングレバー529をバッキングプレート501内に格納することにより、パーキングケーブル523のバッキングプレート引出部531をレイアウトしやすい構造にできる。
There is known a drum brake device that electrically performs a shoe extension operation of a parking brake mechanism (see Patent Document 1).
As shown in FIG. 13, the drum brake device 500 of this type has a backing plate 501 and one end side proximity of the first brake shoe 503 and the second brake shoe 505 along the arc of the first web 507 and the second web 509. It extends from a first pressing member 515 and a second pressing member 517 in which the first claw portion 511 and the second claw portion 513 respectively abut against each other, and a rotary base 519 rotatably supported by the first pressing member 515 A lever input portion 521 is disposed between the second web 509 and the backing plate 501, and a tensile force is applied to the parking cable 523 connected to the lever input portion 521 to rotate the rotary base 519, thereby rotating the rotary base 519. A parking lever 529 in which a protruding pressing portion 525 presses a pressed portion 527 of the second pressing member 517; Provided. According to this drum brake device 500, when the parking lever 529 in the parking brake mechanism is arranged in a cross pull type, the parking lever 529 is housed in the backing plate 501, whereby the backing plate lead-out portion 531 of the parking cable 523 is obtained.

 しかしながら、上記従来のドラムブレーキ装置500は、パーキングレバー529をバッキングプレート501内に収めるため、レバー自体が小さく設定されている。また、レバー比のバラツキを抑えるため、レバー比がフォワードプルタイプに対して下げた設定(小さなレバー比)とされている。このため、図13に示すように、パーキングレバー529は、バッキングプレート501と第2ウエブ509との間で、且つ第2ブレーキシュー505の裏板533と車輪の回転軸心535との間に配置されている。即ち、回転軸心535を中心とする半径領域にパーキングレバー529が配置されている。その結果、フォワードプルタイプに対してレバー引き力が増大し、バッキングプレート501に入力される反力が増大する。このため、バッキングプレート501には高い強度が必要となると共に、パーキングブレーキ機構を電動化する際には大型の駆動機構(モータギアユニット)が必要になる。 However, in the conventional drum brake device 500, in order to fit the parking lever 529 into the backing plate 501, the lever itself is set to be small. Moreover, in order to suppress the variation in lever ratio, the lever ratio is set to be lower than that of the forward pull type (small lever ratio). Therefore, as shown in FIG. 13, the parking lever 529 is disposed between the backing plate 501 and the second web 509 and between the back plate 533 of the second brake shoe 505 and the rotational axis 535 of the wheel. It is done. That is, the parking lever 529 is disposed in a radial area centered on the rotation axis 535. As a result, the lever pulling force increases with respect to the forward pull type, and the reaction force input to the backing plate 501 increases. Therefore, the backing plate 501 needs to have high strength, and a large drive mechanism (motor gear unit) is required to motorize the parking brake mechanism.
 本発明は上記状況に鑑みてなされたもので、その目的は、一対のブレーキシューを拡開するレバーのレバー比を大きく取ることができ、レバーを回転させる力を小さくできるパーキングブレーキ機構を有するドラムブレーキ装置を提供することにある。 The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and an object thereof is to provide a drum having a parking brake mechanism which can increase the lever ratio of a lever for expanding a pair of brake shoes and reduce the force for rotating the lever. It is in providing a brake device.
 本発明に係る上記目的は、下記構成により達成される。
(1) ブレーキドラムの内周面に対向してバッキングプレートと平行な面上で拡開可能に配設される一対のブレーキシューと、前記一対のブレーキシューにおけるウエブの一方端間に配置された押圧機構を作動させて前記一対のブレーキシューを拡開するレバーを有する押圧拡開機構と、を備え、前記レバーの回転基部が一方の前記ブレーキシュー近傍に配置され、前記回転基部から延出するレバー入力部が他方の前記ブレーキシュー近傍に配置されるパーキングブレーキ機構を有するドラムブレーキ装置。
The above object of the present invention is achieved by the following constitution.
(1) A pair of brake shoes disposed so as to be spreadable on a surface parallel to the backing plate so as to face the inner peripheral surface of the brake drum, and disposed between one end of the webs of the pair of brake shoes And a pressing and expanding mechanism having a lever for operating the pressing mechanism to spread and open the pair of brake shoes, wherein the rotary base of the lever is disposed in the vicinity of one of the brake shoes and extends from the rotary base A drum brake device having a parking brake mechanism in which a lever input portion is disposed in the vicinity of the other brake shoe.
 上記(1)の構成のドラムブレーキ装置によれば、押圧拡開機構におけるレバーの回転基部が一方のブレーキシュー近傍に配置され、レバー入力部が他方のブレーキシュー近傍に配置される。そこで、レバー自体を長くすることができ、回転基部からレバー入力部までの距離を長く取ることができるので、レバー比を大きく取ることができる。 According to the drum brake device of the above configuration (1), the rotary base of the lever in the pressing and expanding mechanism is disposed in the vicinity of one brake shoe, and the lever input portion is disposed in the vicinity of the other brake shoe. Therefore, the lever itself can be made long, and the distance from the rotary base to the lever input portion can be made long, so the lever ratio can be made large.
(2) 上記(1)に記載のドラムブレーキ装置であって、前記レバー入力部が、前記回転基部とは反対側に位置する前記ウエブと前記バッキングプレートの間に配置されるドラムブレーキ装置。 (2) The drum brake device according to (1), wherein the lever input portion is disposed between the web opposite to the rotary base and the backing plate.
 上記(2)の構成のドラムブレーキ装置によれば、レバー入力部が、回転基部とは反対側に位置するウエブとバッキングプレートの間に配置されるので、レバーは、ウエブの内方縁部との干渉が回避される。そこで、内方縁部との干渉が回避されたレバーは、車輪回転軸心側よりも半径方向外側への移動が可能となる。従って、レバーのレバー入力部と接続される駆動部材の駆動位置も車輪の回転軸心側よりも半径方向外側への移動が可能となるので、駆動部材がレイアウトし易くなる。その結果、駆動部材に接続されるモータギアユニット等の駆動機構も車輪回転軸心側よりも半径方向外側へ移動が可能となり、他部材との干渉が生じにくくなる。また、レバー自体を更に長くすることができ、回転基部からレバー入力部までの距離を更に長く取ることができるので、レバー比を更に大きく取ることができる。 According to the drum brake device of the configuration of the above (2), since the lever input portion is disposed between the web opposite to the rotary base and the backing plate, the lever and the inner edge portion of the web Interference is avoided. Therefore, the lever whose interference with the inward edge is avoided can move radially outward of the wheel rotation axis. Therefore, the drive position of the drive member connected to the lever input portion of the lever can also be moved to the outer side in the radial direction than the rotation axis side of the wheel, so the drive member can be easily laid out. As a result, the drive mechanism such as a motor gear unit connected to the drive member can also move radially outward from the wheel rotation axis center side, and interference with other members is less likely to occur. In addition, the lever itself can be further lengthened, and the distance from the rotary base to the lever input portion can be further lengthened, so that the lever ratio can be further increased.
(3) 上記(1)又は(2)に記載のドラムブレーキ装置であって、前記押圧拡開機構は、一対の前記ウエブ間に配置された第1押圧部材及び第2押圧部材を有し、前記レバーは、前記第1押圧部材に前記回転基部が回転自在に支持されるとともに前記レバー入力部が前記第2押圧部材側における前記ウエブと前記バッキングプレートの間に配置され、前記レバー入力部に外力が加えられて前記回転基部が回転されることで、前記レバーのレバー押圧部が前記第2押圧部材を押圧して前記一対のブレーキシューを拡開するドラムブレーキ装置。 (3) In the drum brake device according to (1) or (2), the press and spread mechanism includes a first press member and a second press member disposed between the pair of the webs. In the lever, the rotary base is rotatably supported by the first pressing member, and the lever input portion is disposed between the web on the second pressing member side and the backing plate, and the lever input portion The drum brake device in which the lever pressing portion of the lever presses the second pressing member to expand the pair of brake shoes by applying an external force and rotating the rotary base.
 上記(3)の構成のドラムブレーキ装置によれば、一対のウエブ間に第1押圧部材と第2押圧部材とが配置されている。レバーは、回転基部が第1押圧部材に支持されている。レバー入力部に外力が入力されたレバーは、第1押圧部材に支持される回転基部を中心に回転し、レバー押圧部が第2押圧部材を第1押圧部材から離間する方向に押圧する。従って、第1押圧部材と第2押圧部材とが離間し、これらの両端に当接する一対のブレーキシューを拡開する。ここで、レバーは、レバー入力部が、第2押圧部材側におけるウエブとバッキングプレートの間に配置されている。また、レバーの回転基部は、ブレーキ中心軸を挟んでレバー入力部の反対側に配置される。これにより、レバーは、他部材との干渉を回避しつつ大きく構成したものをウエブとバッキングプレートとの間で高密度に(無駄なスペースを空けることなく)配置できる。 According to the drum brake device of the above configuration (3), the first pressing member and the second pressing member are disposed between the pair of webs. The rotation base of the lever is supported by the first pressing member. The lever whose external force is input to the lever input portion rotates about the rotation base supported by the first pressing member, and the lever pressing portion presses the second pressing member away from the first pressing member. Therefore, the first pressing member and the second pressing member are separated, and the pair of brake shoes in contact with the both ends is expanded. Here, in the lever, the lever input portion is disposed between the web and the backing plate on the second pressing member side. In addition, the rotary base of the lever is disposed on the opposite side of the lever input portion across the brake central axis. As a result, the lever can be disposed at a high density (without wasting space) between the web and the backing plate, while avoiding interference with other members.
(4) 上記(1)又は(2)に記載のドラムブレーキ装置であって、前記押圧拡開機構は、一対の前記ウエブ間に配置された押圧部材及び前記レバーのレバー押圧部を有し、前記レバーは、前記押圧部材に前記回転基部が回転自在に支持されるとともに前記レバー入力部が前記レバー押圧部と反対側における前記ウエブと前記バッキングプレートの間に配置され、前記レバー入力部に外力が加えられて前記回転基部が回転されることで、前記レバー押圧部が前記レバー押圧部側における前記ウエブを押圧して前記一対のブレーキシューを拡開するドラムブレーキ装置。 (4) The drum brake device according to (1) or (2), wherein the pressing and spreading mechanism has a pressing member disposed between a pair of the webs and a lever pressing portion of the lever. The lever is rotatably supported on the rotary base by the pressing member and the lever input portion is disposed between the web and the backing plate on the side opposite to the lever pressing portion, and an external force is applied to the lever input portion. The drum brake device in which the lever pressing portion presses the web on the side of the lever pressing portion to expand the pair of brake shoes by the rotation base being rotated.
 上記(4)の構成のドラムブレーキ装置によれば、一対のウエブ間に押圧部材が配置される。レバーは、一方のウエブに当接する押圧機構の近傍部分に、回転基部が回転自在に支持される。レバーは、この回転基部の近傍にレバー押圧部を有する。また、レバー入力部は、ブレーキ中心軸を挟んでこのレバー押圧部の反対側に配置される。レバーは、回転基部近傍のレバー押圧部が一方のウエブに当接する。レバー入力部に外力が加えられて回転基部が回転されると、レバー押圧部が一方のウエブを直接押圧し、一対のブレーキシューを拡開する。ここで、上記のようにレバーは、レバー入力部が他方のウエブとバッキングプレートの間に配置され、回転基部がブレーキ中心軸を挟んでレバー入力部の反対側に配置される。これにより、レバーは、他部材との干渉を回避しつつ大きく構成したものを高密度に(無駄なスペースを空けることなく)配置できる。 According to the drum brake device of the configuration of (4), the pressing member is disposed between the pair of webs. The lever is rotatably supported at the rotary base in the vicinity of the pressing mechanism that abuts one of the webs. The lever has a lever pressing portion in the vicinity of the rotary base. Further, the lever input portion is disposed on the opposite side of the lever pressing portion with respect to the brake central axis. In the lever, a lever pressing portion in the vicinity of the rotary base abuts on one web. When an external force is applied to the lever input portion and the rotation base is rotated, the lever pressing portion directly presses one of the webs, and the pair of brake shoes is expanded. Here, as described above, in the lever, the lever input portion is disposed between the other web and the backing plate, and the rotary base is disposed on the opposite side of the lever input portion across the brake center axis. As a result, the lever can be arranged at high density (without wasting space) while avoiding interference with other members.

 上記(5)の構成のドラムブレーキ装置によれば、ブレーキシューの摩耗により制動時の一対のブレーキシューの移動量が拡大すると、アジャスタの全長寸法が自動的に長くなる。これにより、非制動時の一対のブレーキシューの待機位置が離間される。その結果、一対の両側のシュー間隙の合計寸法が略一定に維持される。 According to the drum brake device of the configuration of (5), when the movement amount of the pair of brake shoes at the time of braking is expanded due to the wear of the brake shoes, the full length dimension of the adjuster automatically becomes long. As a result, the standby positions of the pair of brake shoes at the time of non-braking are separated. As a result, the total dimension of the pair of shoe gaps on both sides is maintained substantially constant.
(6) 上記(1)~(5)の何れか1つに記載のドラムブレーキ装置であって、前記レバー入力部が、前記レバー入力部に外力を加える駆動部材に対し、駆動方向と交差する前記一対のブレーキシューの拡開方向へ移動可能に連結されているドラムブレーキ装置。 (6) In the drum brake device according to any one of the above (1) to (5), the lever input portion intersects with the driving direction with respect to a driving member that applies an external force to the lever input portion.

Thereby, the variation of the standby position of the pair of brake shoes automatically adjusted by the adjuster during non-braking and the positional deviation of the lever at the time of wear of the lining can be absorbed by the sliding of the contact surface. Therefore, it is not necessary to arrange a short cable or a clevis for connecting the drive member and the lever.

 上記(7)の構成のドラムブレーキ装置によれば、モータギアユニットの駆動により駆動部材が引かれ、引かれた駆動部材によりレバー入力部にレバー回転外力を入力でき、パーキングブレーキの電動化が可能となる。 According to the drum brake device of the above configuration (7), the drive member is pulled by the drive of the motor gear unit, and the lever rotation external force can be input to the lever input portion by the pulled drive member, and the parking brake can be motorized. It becomes.
(8) 上記(1)~(7)の何れか1つに記載のドラムブレーキ装置であって、前記レバーが、前記一対のブレーキシューを拡開するためのホイールシリンダと前記押圧機構との間に配置されているドラムブレーキ装置。 (8) The drum brake device according to any one of (1) to (7), wherein the lever is between a wheel cylinder for expanding the pair of brake shoes and the pressing mechanism.

 より具体的には、本第1の実施形態の押圧機構47は、第1ウエブ23と第2ウエブ25との間に配置された第1押圧部材55及び第2押圧部材57を有する。レバー49は、第1押圧部材55に回転基部51がレバーピン59を介して回転自在に支持されている。レバーピン59は、頭部を有し、頭部と反対側の挿通先端が第1押圧部材55と回転基部51を貫通し、貫通先端に止め輪61が装着されて脱落が規制される。
FIG. 4 is a perspective view of the pressure spreading mechanism 35 shown in FIG. 3, and FIG. 5 is an exploded perspective view of the pressure spreading mechanism 35 shown in FIG.
More specifically, the pressing mechanism 47 of the first embodiment has a first pressing member 55 and a second pressing member 57 disposed between the first web 23 and the second web 25. The rotation base 51 of the lever 49 is rotatably supported by the first pressing member 55 via a lever pin 59. The lever pin 59 has a head, and the insertion tip on the opposite side to the head penetrates the first pressing member 55 and the rotary base 51, and the snap ring 61 is attached to the penetration tip to prevent dropping.
 また、レバー49は、レバー入力部53が第2押圧部材57側における第2ウエブ25とバッキングプレート11の間に配置される。レバー49は、レバー入力部53に外力が加えられて回転基部51が回転されることで、レバー49のレバー押圧部63(図5参照)が第2押圧部材57を押圧して第1ブレーキシュー17と第2ブレーキシュー19を拡開する。 Further, the lever 49 is arranged such that the lever input portion 53 is between the second web 25 and the backing plate 11 on the second pressing member 57 side. When the lever 49 is applied with an external force to the lever input portion 53 and the rotary base 51 is rotated, the lever pressing portion 63 (see FIG. 5) of the lever 49 presses the second pressing member 57 and the first brake shoe 17 and the second brake shoe 19 are expanded.
 本第1の実施形態に係るドラムブレーキ装置100は、駆動部材45が、モータギアユニット15により駆動される。この駆動部材45により、レバー入力部53に外力を加える。 In the drum brake device 100 according to the first embodiment, the drive member 45 is driven by the motor gear unit 15. An external force is applied to the lever input portion 53 by the drive member 45.
 駆動部材45は、図4及び図5に示すように、レバー挿入開口部65を有する矩形箱状に形成される。レバー49は、このレバー挿入開口部65にレバー入力部53が遊びを有して挿入されて、係合状態となって駆動部材45と接続される。即ち、レバー入力部53は、レバー入力部53に外力を加える駆動部材45に対し、駆動方向と交差する一対の第1ブレーキシュー17及び第2ブレーキシュー19の拡開方向(図4の矢印a方向)へ移動可能(駆動部材45との接点が移動可能)に連結されている。そのため、レバー入力部53の先端は、レバーピン59と同方向の中心線を中心とした円弧形状(図2参照)で外周が形成される。レバー入力部53と駆動部材45とは、接点がこの円弧形状の外周を移動することになる。 The driving member 45 is formed in a rectangular box shape having a lever insertion opening 65 as shown in FIGS. 4 and 5. The lever 49 is inserted into the lever insertion opening 65 with play and the lever input portion 53 is engaged and connected to the drive member 45. That is, with respect to the drive member 45 which applies the external force to the lever input portion 53, the lever input portion 53 spreads the first brake shoe 17 and the second brake shoe 19 in the expanding direction (arrow a in FIG. 4). Direction) (the contact point with the drive member 45 is movable). Therefore, the tip of the lever input portion 53 has an outer periphery formed in an arc shape (see FIG. 2) centered on a center line in the same direction as the lever pin 59. The contact point of the lever input portion 53 and the drive member 45 moves on the outer periphery of the arc shape.
 また、本第1の実施形態に係るドラムブレーキ装置100は、押圧拡開機構35が、シュー間隔を自動調整するためのアジャスタ67(図1参照)を有する。アジャスタ67は、アジャスタソケット69と、アジャスタギア71と、アジャスタナット73と、アジャスタレバー75(図1参照)と、を有する。アジャスタ67は、第1ブレーキシュー17と第2ブレーキシュー19とのシュー間隔を調整する。なお、アジャスタ67は、押圧機構47の一部を構成している。 Further, in the drum brake device 100 according to the first embodiment, the pressing and spreading mechanism 35 has an adjuster 67 (see FIG. 1) for automatically adjusting the shoe interval. The adjuster 67 has an adjuster socket 69, an adjuster gear 71, an adjuster nut 73, and an adjuster lever 75 (see FIG. 1). The adjuster 67 adjusts a shoe interval between the first brake shoe 17 and the second brake shoe 19. The adjuster 67 constitutes a part of the pressing mechanism 47.
 アジャスタギア71は、回転によりアジャスタ67の全長を伸長してブレーキシュー間隔を一定にする。アジャスタギア71は、一端がアジャスタナット73に螺合され、他端がアジャスタソケット69に嵌挿され、中間部に歯付輪77が形成される。アジャスタレバー75は、歯付輪77に対向する爪部79(図1参照)を有し、第1ブレーキシュー17及び第2ブレーキシュー19の拡開動作時にアジャスタピン81を中心に図1の時計回り方向に回転することにより爪部79が歯付輪77に当接するように構成されている。 The adjuster gear 71 extends the entire length of the adjuster 67 by rotation to make the brake shoe interval constant. One end of the adjuster gear 71 is screwed into the adjuster nut 73, and the other end is inserted into the adjuster socket 69. A toothed wheel 77 is formed in the middle. The adjuster lever 75 has a claw portion 79 (see FIG. 1) opposed to the toothed wheel 77, and the timepiece shown in FIG. 1 centering on the adjuster pin 81 when the first brake shoe 17 and the second brake shoe 19 are opened. The claw portion 79 is configured to abut on the toothed wheel 77 by rotating in a rotating direction.
 アジャスタ67によるシュー間隔自動調整動作では、常にリターンスプリング37によりアジャスタレバー75をアジャスタピン81を中心に図1の時計回り方向に回転する力を作用させる。ライニング27の摩耗量が増えると、第1ブレーキシュー17及び第2ブレーキシュー19は規定行程以上移動し、それに伴ってアジャスタレバー75の回動量が規定量を超えると、爪部79が歯付輪77の一つの歯に当接し、歯付輪77を一歯分だけ回転させる。これにより、アジャスタ67は、伸長することでシュー間隙の自動調整を行う。アジャスタ67は、全長寸法が長くなることにより、非制動時の第1ブレーキシュー17及び第2ブレーキシュー19の待機位置を離間し、シュー間隙(両側のシュー間隙の合計寸法)を略一定に維持する。 In the automatic shoe interval adjustment operation by the adjuster 67, the return spring 37 always exerts a force of rotating the adjuster lever 75 in the clockwise direction in FIG. 1 about the adjuster pin 81. When the amount of wear of the lining 27 increases, the first brake shoe 17 and the second brake shoe 19 move more than the specified stroke, and accordingly, when the amount of rotation of the adjuster lever 75 exceeds the specified amount, the claws 79 have toothed wheels It abuts on one of the teeth 77 and rotates the toothed wheel 77 by one tooth. Thereby, the adjuster 67 performs automatic adjustment of the shoe gap by extending. The adjuster 67 separates the standby positions of the first brake shoe 17 and the second brake shoe 19 at the time of non-braking by keeping the overall length dimension longer, and maintains the shoe gap (total dimension of the shoe gap on both sides) substantially constant. Do.
 アジャスタソケット69は、アジャスタギア71が嵌挿されるギア嵌合孔83の反対側が、第1ウエブ23に係合するウエブ係合爪85となる。アジャスタナット73は、アジャスタギア71が螺合するギア螺合部87の反対側が、第1押圧部材55及びレバー押圧部63に係合するレバー・押圧部係合爪89となる。第1押圧部材55は、レバー・押圧部係合爪89と係合するナット係合部91を有し、ナット係合部91の反対側が、第2ウエブ25に係合するウエブ係合爪93となる。 In the adjuster socket 69, the web engaging claw 85 engaged with the first web 23 is the opposite side of the gear fitting hole 83 into which the adjuster gear 71 is inserted. The adjuster nut 73 is a lever / pressing portion engaging claw 89 engaged with the first pressing member 55 and the lever pressing portion 63 on the opposite side of the gear screwing portion 87 with which the adjuster gear 71 is screwed. The first pressing member 55 has a nut engaging portion 91 engaged with the lever / pressing portion engaging claw 89, and the web engaging claw 93 engaged with the second web 25 on the opposite side of the nut engaging portion 91. It becomes.
 次に、上記した構成の作用を説明する。
 本第1の実施形態に係るドラムブレーキ装置100では、押圧拡開機構35におけるレバー49の回転基部51が第1ブレーキシュー17近傍に配置され、レバー入力部53が第2ブレーキシュー19近傍に配置される。そこで、レバー自体を長くすることができ、回転基部51からレバー入力部53までの距離を長く取ることができるので、レバー比を大きく取ることができる。
 更に、レバー入力部53が、回転基部51とは反対側に位置する第2ウエブ25とバッキングプレート11の間に配置されるので、レバー49は、第2ウエブ25の内方縁部との干渉が回避される。そこで、内方縁部との干渉が回避されたレバー49は、車輪回転軸心13側よりも半径方向外側への移動が可能となる。従って、レバー49のレバー入力部53と接続される駆動部材45の駆動位置も車輪回転軸心13側よりも半径方向外側への移動が可能となるので、駆動部材45がレイアウトし易くなる。その結果、駆動部材45に接続されるモータギアユニット15も車輪回転軸心13側よりも半径方向外側へ移動が可能となり、車両のブレーキ取付部(ハブ)等の他部材との干渉が生じにくくなる。また、レバー49自体を更に長くすることができ、回転基部51からレバー入力部53までの距離を更に長く取ることができるので、レバー比を更に大きく取ることができる。
Next, the operation of the above configuration will be described.
In the drum brake device 100 according to the first embodiment, the rotary base 51 of the lever 49 of the pressing and spreading mechanism 35 is disposed in the vicinity of the first brake shoe 17 and the lever input portion 53 is disposed in the vicinity of the second brake shoe 19. Be done. Therefore, the lever itself can be made long, and the distance from the rotary base 51 to the lever input portion 53 can be made long, so the lever ratio can be made large.
Furthermore, since the lever input portion 53 is disposed between the second web 25 opposite to the rotary base 51 and the backing plate 11, the lever 49 interferes with the inward edge of the second web 25. Is avoided. Therefore, the lever 49 whose interference with the inward edge is avoided can be moved radially outward of the wheel rotation axis 13 side. Accordingly, the drive position of the drive member 45 connected to the lever input portion 53 of the lever 49 can also be moved to the outer side in the radial direction than the wheel rotation axis 13, so that the drive member 45 can be easily laid out. As a result, the motor gear unit 15 connected to the drive member 45 can also move radially outward from the wheel rotation axis 13 side, and interference with other members such as a brake mounting portion (hub) of the vehicle is less likely to occur. Become. Further, since the lever 49 itself can be further lengthened, and the distance from the rotary base 51 to the lever input portion 53 can be further lengthened, the lever ratio can be further increased.
 また、本第1の実施形態に係るドラムブレーキ装置100では、一対の第1ウエブ23と第2ウエブ25の間に第1押圧部材55と第2押圧部材57とが配置されている。レバー49は、回転基部51が第1押圧部材55に支持されている。レバー入力部53に外力が入力されたレバー49は、第1押圧部材55に支持される回転基部51を中心に回転し、レバー押圧部63が第2押圧部材57を第1押圧部材55から離間する方向に押圧する。従って、第1押圧部材55と第2押圧部材57とが離間し、これらの両端に当接する一対の第1ブレーキシュー17及び第2ブレーキシュー19を拡開する。ここで、レバー49は、図2に示すように、レバー入力部53が、第2押圧部材側における第2ウエブ25とバッキングプレート11の間に配置されている。また、レバー49の回転基部51は、ブレーキ中心軸29を挟んでレバー入力部53の反対側に配置される。これにより、レバー49は、他部材との干渉を回避しつつ大きく構成したものを第1ウエブ23及び第2ウエブ25とバッキングプレート11との間で高密度に(無駄なスペースを空けることなく)配置することができる。 Further, in the drum brake device 100 according to the first embodiment, the first pressing member 55 and the second pressing member 57 are disposed between the pair of first webs 23 and the second web 25. The rotation base 51 of the lever 49 is supported by the first pressing member 55. The lever 49 whose external force is input to the lever input portion 53 rotates about the rotation base 51 supported by the first pressing member 55, and the lever pressing portion 63 separates the second pressing member 57 from the first pressing member 55. Press in the direction of Accordingly, the first pressing member 55 and the second pressing member 57 are separated, and the pair of the first brake shoes 17 and the second brake shoes 19 which are in contact with these ends are expanded. Here, as shown in FIG. 2, in the lever 49, the lever input portion 53 is disposed between the second web 25 and the backing plate 11 on the second pressing member side. Further, the rotation base 51 of the lever 49 is disposed on the opposite side of the lever input portion 53 with the brake center shaft 29 interposed therebetween. As a result, the lever 49 has a large size while avoiding interference with other members, with high density between the first web 23 and the second web 25 and the backing plate 11 (without wasting space). It can be arranged.
 また、本第1の実施形態に係るドラムブレーキ装置100では、ブレーキシューの摩耗により制動時の一対の第1ブレーキシュー17及び第2ブレーキシュー19の移動量が拡大すると、アジャスタ67の全長寸法が自動的に長くなる。これにより、非制動時の一対の第1ブレーキシュー17及び第2ブレーキシュー19の待機位置が離間される。その結果、一対の両側のシュー間隙の合計寸法が略一定に維持される。 Further, in the drum brake device 100 according to the first embodiment, when the movement amount of the pair of first brake shoes 17 and the second brake shoes 19 at the time of braking is expanded due to the wear of the brake shoes, the total length dimension of the adjuster 67 becomes It gets longer automatically. As a result, the standby positions of the pair of first brake shoes 17 and the second brake shoes 19 at the time of non-braking are separated. As a result, the total dimension of the pair of shoe gaps on both sides is maintained substantially constant.
 また、本第1の実施形態に係るドラムブレーキ装置100では、駆動部材45とレバー49が、一対の第1ブレーキシュー17及び第2ブレーキシュー19の拡開方向へ移動可能な連結(面接触)とされている。これにより、アジャスタ67により自動調整された一対の第1ブレーキシュー17及び第2ブレーキシュー19の非制動時の待機位置の変動やライニング27の摩耗時におけるレバー49の位置ズレは、接触面がスライドすることで吸収できる。そのため、駆動部材45とレバー49を連結するショートケーブルやクレビスを配置する必要がなくなる。 Further, in the drum brake device 100 according to the first embodiment, the drive member 45 and the lever 49 are connected (surface contact) in which the pair of first brake shoes 17 and the second brake shoes 19 can move in the expansion direction. It is assumed. As a result, the contact surface slides when the standby position of the pair of first brake shoes 17 and the second brake shoes 19 automatically adjusted by the adjuster 67 during non-braking and the positional deviation of the lever 49 when the lining 27 wears. It can absorb by doing. Therefore, it is not necessary to arrange a short cable or clevis for connecting the drive member 45 and the lever 49.
 そして、本第1の実施形態に係るドラムブレーキ装置100では、モータギアユニット15の駆動により駆動部材45が引かれ、引かれた駆動部材45によりレバー入力部53に回転外力を入力でき、パーキングブレーキの電動化を容易に実現することができる。 Then, in the drum brake device 100 according to the first embodiment, the driving member 45 is pulled by the drive of the motor gear unit 15, and the rotating external force can be input to the lever input portion 53 by the pulled driving member 45, and parking brake Can be easily realized.

The lever 101 is disposed between the second web 25 and the backing plate 11 on the side opposite to the lever pressing portion 107 of the lever input portion 53. The lever 101 applies an external force to the lever input portion 53 and the rotation base 51 is rotated, so that the lever pressing portion 107 of the lever 101 presses the first web 23 on the lever pressing portion side, and the first brake shoe 17 And open the second brake shoe 19.
 本第2の実施形態に係るドラムブレーキ装置200は、押圧拡開機構97が、シュー間隔を自動調整するためのアジャスタ109(図6参照)を有する。アジャスタ109は、アジャスタソケット111と、アジャスタギア71と、アジャスタナット113と、アジャスタレバー75(図6参照)と、を有する。アジャスタ109は、第1ブレーキシュー17と第2ブレーキシュー19とのシュー間隔を調整する。なお、アジャスタ109は、押圧機構99の一部を構成している。 In the drum brake device 200 according to the second embodiment, the pressing and spreading mechanism 97 has an adjuster 109 (see FIG. 6) for automatically adjusting the shoe interval.

The adjuster nut 113 is integrally fixed to the support member 103 on the opposite side of the gear screwing portion 87 with which the adjuster gear 71 is screwed. In the support member 103, the opposite side of the adjuster nut 113 is a web engagement claw 117 engaged with the first web 23.
 次に、上記した構成の作用を説明する。
