METHOD OF SETTING CONTACT POSITION BETWEEN OPERATING CAM AND ROLLER FOR AIR BRAKE, AND OPERATING CAM FOR AIR BRAKE - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240092334 titled 'METHOD OF SETTING CONTACT POSITION BETWEEN OPERATING CAM AND ROLLER FOR AIR BRAKE, AND OPERATING CAM FOR AIR BRAKE
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes a method for setting the contact position between the operating cam and the roller for an air brake system, specifically for a leading shoe and a trailing shoe with first and second rollers, linings, a drum, and the operating cam.
- The method involves setting the contact position between the operating cam and the second roller so that the direction in which the operating cam presses the second roller during braking is moved in a rotation direction of the drum when the vehicle moves backward.
Potential Applications:
- Air brake systems in vehicles
- Brake systems in industrial machinery
Problems Solved:
- Ensuring proper contact position between operating cam and roller for effective braking
- Preventing issues with brake performance during backward movement
Benefits:
- Improved braking efficiency
- Enhanced safety during vehicle operation
Potential Commercial Applications: Optimizing Contact Position Between Operating Cam and Roller for Air Brake Systems
Possible Prior Art: Prior art may include patents or publications related to brake system designs and methods for adjusting contact positions between components.
Unanswered Questions: 1. How does this method compare to existing techniques for setting contact positions in air brake systems? 2. Are there any specific performance metrics or standards that this method aims to meet in terms of brake system functionality?
Original Abstract Submitted
a method of setting the contact position between the operating cam and the roller for the air brake which includes a leading shoe and a trailing shoe respectively provided with a first roller and a second roller, a first lining and a second lining respectively provided on external surfaces of the leading shoe and the trailing shoe, a drum disposed on a circumference of the back plate, and the operating cam disposed to support the first roller and the second roller therebetween to rotate in a direction of expanding a gap between the leading shoe and the trailing shoe, includes setting the contact position between the operating cam and the second roller so that a direction in which the operating cam presses the second roller during braking is moved in a rotation direction of the drum when the vehicle moves backward thereof.
