Abstract

The parking brake is an essential unit embedded in the track-driving motor of an excavator. The parking brake plays an important role in keeping the excavator in place not only when it is parked, but also during the digging operation. In fact, the load placed on the parking brake during the digging operation is significantly higher than the parking load, because the impact and rating loads caused by the bucket digging force cycle frequently and have very high load ranges. Therefore, the load conditions during the digging operation should be taken into account in the parking brake certification test. In this study, a series of experiments was carried out in which various operating pressures were applied to the parking brake, where repeated loads were reciprocally placed on the brake by locking the multifriction disc and releasing the hydraulic cylinder. The characteristics of the parking brake were investigated by comparing the obtained experimental results and the theoretical design specifications.

굴삭기를 전진과 후진시키는 주행모터에는 주차브레이크(parking brake)가 내장되어있다. 이 주차브레이크는 굴삭기가 주차되었을 때 고정뿐만 아니라 전진 및 후진을 하지 않는 상태로 굴삭작업 할 때에도 차체를 지면에 고정시킨다. 정확한 굴삭작업을 위해서는 작업충격이나 자중을 포함한 굴삭부하가 발생했을 때 차체를 지면에 견고하게 고정해주는 브레이크 기능이 굴삭기가 주차되었을 때의 고정보다 더 중요하고 작용횟수 또한 훨씬 높다. 본 연구에서는 다중 마찰 판(multi friction disc)을 스프링 힘으로 작동(결합)시키고 유압실린더로 해제시키는 굴삭기 주행모터의 주차브레이크에 대해서 작용 압력별로 반복실험을 실시하여 측정된 데이터를 설계 이론값과 비교하여 주차브레이크의 특성을 분석하였다.
