BRAKING EFFORT CONTROL DEVICE Russian patent published in 2012 - IPC B60T8/52 B60T17/22 B61H5/00 

FIELD: transport.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to machine building and may be used in disc brakes. Proposed device comprises bearing structure running gear, braking unit, load pickup and control unit. Brake unit is arranged on bearing structure and allow transmitting braking force to friction surface of running gear rotating element. Load pickup is arranged on brake unit or on bearing structure and serves to measure friction force between brake unit and friction surface or resultant force. Control unit compares actual values of load from load pickup with preset values. Besides, control unit actuates brake unit to reduce its icing in case actual value deviates from preset value preferable for preset limit value. Proposed transport facility comprises bearing structure running gear, braking unit, load pickup and control unit. Proposed method consists in defining load in brake unit or is bearing structure of transport facility, particularly, railway vehicle, or between brake unit and bearing structure resulted from friction force transmitted from aforesaid friction surface to brake unit. Then, actual value is compared with preset one. Besides, control unit actuates brake unit to reduce its icing in case actual value deviates from preset value preferable for preset limit value.

EFFECT: better control over braking.
