Definitions
- the present invention relates to a disk brake device for a railway vehicle.
- Patent Literature 1 As a railway vehicle disc brake device, a configuration using the lever principle is known (for example, see Patent Document 1).
- the disc brake device described in Patent Literature 1 includes a pair of brake pad receivers, a pair of arms, and a drive mechanism.
- the pair of restrictor receivers are arranged so as to sandwich a disk that rotates integrally with the wheels, and hold a pair of pads.
- the pair of restrictor receivers are attached to the pair of arms.
- Each arm can swing about a fulcrum shaft extending in a substantially vertical direction.
- Each arm is connected to a drive mechanism.
- the drive mechanism drives each arm so that each arm swings around the fulcrum axis. With this configuration, each arm is rotated. As a result, the pads held by the arms via the brake catcher contact the disk and apply a braking force to the disk.
- the arm receives a large load from the drive mechanism and a large reaction force from the disk when braking the railway vehicle. For this reason, the arm is formed in a shape having sufficient strength.
- the arm has a large shape corresponding to a large disk for a railway vehicle, and the cross-sectional shape of the arm (the shape in a cross section perpendicular to the extending direction of the arm) is a square shape or an elliptical shape. Etc.
- the arm is formed to have sufficient strength.
- the arm becomes thicker than necessary. That is, the arm becomes excessively heavy.
- the present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and an object of the present invention is to provide a railway vehicle disk brake device capable of ensuring sufficient strength and achieving weight reduction.
- a railway vehicle disc brake device includes a caliper lever for supporting a pad disposed opposite to a disc, a direction in which the pad approaches the disc, and A fulcrum shaft that swingably supports the caliper so that the caliper can swing in a direction away from the disk; and a drive device that drives the caliper around the fulcrum shaft.
- the arm portion has a first portion and a second portion that extend so as to cross each other in a cross section orthogonal to a direction in which the arm portion extends.
- the shape of the arm portion is, for example, a shape in which a part of the polygonal shape or a part of the round shape is omitted.
- an arm part can be made lighter. That is, the weight reduction of the railcar disc brake device can be achieved through the weight reduction of the caliper.
- the arm portion has a shape having sufficient bending rigidity. Thereby, the strength of the arm portion that receives a large load from the driving device and a large reaction force from the disk can be sufficiently ensured.
- an angle formed by a direction in which the first portion extends and a vertical direction is an angle between the direction in which the second portion extends and the vertical direction. Is smaller than the angle formed by
- the bending rigidity of the arm portion can be sufficiently ensured by the cooperation of the first portion extending at an angle relatively close to the vertical and the second portion extending at an angle relatively close to the horizontal.
- the arm portion is formed in an L shape.
- the arm portion can be lightened and sufficient rigidity can be secured with a simple configuration.
- the arm portion is disposed so as to have an inner surface facing the driving device and an outer surface disposed in a pair with the inner surface, and the arm portion includes the driving device and the fulcrum.
- a force point side arm portion extending between the shaft and a working point side arm portion extending from the fulcrum shaft side toward the pad side.
- the first portion is the outer portion. It arrange
- a space defined by the first member and the second member can be secured on the inner surface side of the power point side arm portion.
- a member such as a driving device arranged adjacent to the force point side arm portion can be arranged. Accordingly, it is possible to prevent interference (unintentional contact) between the force point side arm portion and the driving device or the like.
- the force point side arm portion does not need to have a detour shape for avoiding this interference, the force point side arm portion can be reduced in size. In particular, the force point side arm portion can be shortened in the longitudinal direction.
- the arm portion is disposed so as to have an inner surface facing the driving device and an outer surface disposed in a pair with the inner surface, and the arm portion includes the driving device and the fulcrum.
- a force point side arm portion extending between the shaft and an action point side arm portion extending from the fulcrum shaft side toward the pad side.
- the first portion is the It arrange
- the said 2nd part is arrange
- the action point side arm portion is bent and deformed in an arch shape by receiving a reaction force from the disk during braking of the vehicle.
- tensile stress is generated on the inner surface side of the action point side arm portion
- compressive stress is generated on the outer surface side of the action point side arm portion.
- the member has an allowable tensile stress smaller than the allowable compressive stress. Therefore, by disposing the first portion on the inner surface side where the tensile stress is generated when braking the vehicle, the volume of the portion that receives the tensile stress can be further increased. Thereby, the peak of the tensile stress of an action point side arm part can be reduced. As a result, the strength of the caliper can be increased through a reduction in the load on the action point side arm.
- the total length of the action point side arm is set smaller than the total length of the force point side arm portion.
- the total length of the action point side arm portion is short, further miniaturization of the railway vehicle disc brake device can be achieved. Further, since the total length (arm length) of the action point side arm portion is short, the stress of the action point side arm portion when the action point side arm portion is bent by the reaction force from the disk during braking of the vehicle is large. It is easy to become.
- the first portion is disposed on the inner surface side of the action point side arm portion. Thereby, the tensile stress on the inner surface side of the action point side arm portion can be dispersed. Therefore, the peak of the tensile stress generated in the action point side arm portion can be set to a sufficiently low value.
- a pair of upper and lower power point side arm portions are provided, and the caliper further has a connecting portion for connecting the first portions of the respective power point side arm portions.
- the pair of upper and lower force point side arm portions are integrally coupled via the connecting portion.
- strength of a pair of power point side arm part can be improved significantly. Therefore, the strength of the caliper can be increased by improving the strength of the pair of power point side arm portions.
- the connection part is extended between the 1st parts of a pair of power point side arm parts, the connection part of a connection part and a power point side arm part can be made into a smooth shape. Therefore, stress concentration at the connection portion between the connecting portion and the power point side arm portion can be reduced.

- a pair of upper and lower horizontal portions extending in the arrangement direction, a pair of the horizontal portions extending in a direction in which the pair of horizontal portions face each other, and a pair of the horizontal portions connected to each other, and the pair of the horizontal portions and the vertical shapes And a reinforcing rib connected to the portion.
- the shape of the lever support member can be made to be a shape close to a shape combining plate members rather than a block shape. Thereby, the lever support member can be further reduced in weight. Further, since the reinforcing rib is provided, the strength of the lever support member can be sufficiently ensured.
- the vertical portion is configured to be opposed to the disk, and the reinforcing rib extends from the vertical portion toward the driving device.
- the vertical portion is arranged so as to be close to the disk. Therefore, in the lever support member, the reaction force from the disk can be reliably received by the vertical portion.
- the vehicle disc brake device further includes a suspension shaft for suspending the lever support member so as to be swingable from a chassis, and the suspension shaft is disposed closer to the drive device.
- a small-diameter portion, and a large-diameter portion configured to be disposed closer to the pad and having a diameter larger than the diameter of the small-diameter portion.
- the large-diameter portion of the suspension shaft receives a large reaction force from the disk when the vehicle is braked. Therefore, the strength of the suspension shaft can be sufficiently ensured by setting the diameter of the large diameter portion large. Further, the reaction force received by the small diameter portion from the disk during braking of the vehicle is relatively small. Therefore, it is possible to reduce the weight of the suspension shaft by reducing the diameter of the small-diameter portion that does not receive a very large load on the suspension shaft.

According to this structure, since the full length of the action point side arm parts 29a and 30a is short, further size reduction of the brake device 1 can be achieved. Further, since the total length of the action point side arm portions 29a and 30a is short, the action point side arm portions 29a and 29a when the action point side arm portions 29a and 30a are bent by the reaction force from the disc 101 during braking of the vehicle. The stress of 30a tends to increase.
- the first portions 291a and 301a are arranged on the inner side surface 21a side of the action point side arm portions 29a and 30a.
- the tensile stress by the side of the inner surface 21a in the action point side arm portions 29a and 30a can be dispersed. Therefore, the peak of the tensile stress generated in the action point side arm portions 29a and 30a can be made a sufficiently low value.
- the force point side arm portions 25a, 26a are provided in a pair of upper and lower sides, and the caliper lever 3a is a first connection portion that connects the first portions 251a, 261a of the force point side arm portions 25a, 26a. 31a.
- the pair of upper and lower force point side arm portions 25a and 26a are integrally coupled via the first connecting portion 31a.
- strength of a pair of power point side arm parts 25a and 26a can be improved markedly. Therefore, the strength of the caliper lever 3a can be further increased by improving the strength of the pair of force point side arm portions 25a and 26a.
- connection part 31a is extended between the 1st parts 251a and 261a of a pair of power point side arm parts 25a and 26a, the connection part of the 1st connection part 31a and force point side arm parts 25a and 26a is used. Smooth shape. Therefore, the stress concentration on the connection portion between the first connecting portion 31a and the force point side arm portions 25a and 26a can be alleviated.
- the lever support member 6 has a pair of upper and lower horizontal portions 43, 44, a vertical portion 45, and reinforcing ribs 47, 48, 49.
- the shape of the lever support member 6 can be a shape close to a shape in which plate members are combined rather than a block shape. Thereby, the lever support member 6 can be further reduced in weight. Further, since the reinforcing ribs 47, 48, and 49 are provided, the strength of the lever support member 6 can be sufficiently ensured.
- the vertical portion 45 is configured so as to face the disc 101, and the reinforcing ribs 47, 48, 49 extend from the vertical portion 45 toward the cylinder device 2. According to this configuration, the vertical portion 45 is disposed so as to be close to the disk 101. As a result, the lever support member 6 can reliably receive the reaction force from the disk 101 by the vertical portion 45.
- the suspension shaft 701 includes a small diameter portion 704 disposed near the cylinder device 2, and a large diameter portion 702 disposed near the pad 102 a and having a diameter larger than the diameter of the small diameter portion 704.
- the large-diameter portion 702 of the suspension shaft 701 receives a large reaction force from the disk 101 during braking of the vehicle. Therefore, the strength of the suspension shaft 701 can be sufficiently ensured by setting the diameter of the large diameter portion 702 to be large. Further, the reaction force received by the small diameter portion 702 from the disk 101 during braking of the vehicle is relatively small. Therefore, the weight of the suspension shaft 701 can be reduced by reducing the diameter of the small-diameter portion 704 as a portion that does not receive a very large load in the suspension shaft 701.
- each caliper in each caliper, the pair of upper and lower action point side arm portions are inclined so as to approach each other as they approach the pad holder.
- the inclination angle may be larger or smaller than the value illustrated in the above-described embodiment.
- first portion and the second portion are arranged so as to be orthogonal to each other in each arm portion of each caliper lever.
- first part and the second part of the arm part may extend so as to intersect each other in a cross section orthogonal to the direction in which the arm part extends, and the intersection angle is not particularly limited.
- first portion and the second portion are L-shaped as a whole in each arm portion of each caliper lever.
- first portion and the second portion of the arm portion may have other shapes such as an I shape in a cross section orthogonal to the direction in which the arm portion extends.
- the configuration in which the first portion is arranged on the outer surface side of the caliper lever with respect to the second portion in the force point side arm portion has been described as an example. However, this need not be the case.
- the first portion may be arranged on the inner surface side of the caliper with respect to the second portion.
- the mode in which the first portion is disposed on the inner surface side of the caliper lever with respect to the second portion in the action point side arm portion has been described as an example. However, this need not be the case.
- the first portion may be arranged on the outer surface side of the caliper lever with respect to the second portion.
- first portion and the second portion intersecting each other are provided in the respective arm portions of the pair of calipers.
- one caliper may not be provided with a first part and a second part that intersect each other.
- the calipers 3a and 3b have been described by taking solid members as an example. However, some or all of them may be hollow members. In this case, further weight reduction can be expected while maintaining the strength. Similarly, the lever support member 6 may be a hollow member.
- the present invention is widely applicable to railway vehicle disk brake devices.
- Disc brake device for rolling stock Cylinder device (drive device) 3a, 3b Caliper lever 9a, 9b Support shaft 25a, 26a, 25b, 26b Force point side arm 29a, 30a, 29b, 30b Action point side arm 101 Disc 102a, 102b Pad 251a, 261a, 291a, 301a, 251b, 261b, 291b, 301b First portion 252a, 262a, 292a, 302a, 252b, 262b, 292b, 302b Second portion P1, P2 Cross section (cross section orthogonal to the direction in which the arm portion extends)
