The blocking elements (26) are radially displaceable by an actuation element (17). The radial displacement path of the blocking elements (26) and an operating condition of the actuation element (17) corresponding thereto in the first position of the piston (3) deviate from the radial displacement path of the blocking elements (26) and the operating condition of the actuation element (17) corresponding thereto in the second position of the piston (3).

Bicycle braking and parking device

A bicycle braking and parking device includes a casing, two brake pads, a locking pin, and an electromagnetic driver. The casing has an accommodation space and two pistons located at two opposite sides of the accommodation space. The accommodation space can accommodate part of a brake disk. The brake pads are located at the accommodation space and located between the pistons. The pistons can push the brake pads, and the brake pads can clamp the brake disk. The locking pin is movably disposed on the casing. The electromagnetic driver can force the locking pin to move between a released position and a locked position. when the locking pin is in the released position, the locking pin is separated from the brake disk. When the locking pin is in the locked position, the locking pin is inserted into the brake disk to limit a motion of the brake disk.

WHEEL BRAKING MECHANISM, FRAME, AND CHILD CARRIER

The present application relates to a wheel braking mechanism, a frame and a child carrier. The wheel braking mechanism includes a wheel base housing assembly, a braking assembly mounted in the wheel base housing assembly, and a braking pin connected to the braking assembly. A side wall of the wheel base housing assembly is provided with a sliding hole configured to allow the braking pin to extend through. The braking pin is capable of sliding in the sliding hole between a locking position and an unlocking position. The wheel braking mechanism further includes a dust shield. The dust shield is engaged with the braking pin and shields the sliding hole to prevent external debris from entering an interior of the wheel base housing assembly through the sliding hole.

WHEEL LOCKING DEVICE

A wheel locking device comprising a number of interlocking components that are adapted to receive a wheel (or a wheeled apparatus), and said components can be adjusted to accommodate a variety of wheels of different diameters. The wheel locking device further comprises a rotatable and adjustable bar that is utilized to secure the wheel in place. In further embodiments, the device comprises a lock receiving bore which is adapted to receive a lock.

Parking Brake for an Electric Vehicle With Multi-Speed Gearbox

A commercial vehicle includes at least one driven axle, a service brake, at least one propulsion engine, and wheels. A parking brake function of the vehicle is achieved by a bistable locking means that acts on both wheels. A first and second multi-speed gearbox having respective first and second gear stages are each activated by an actuator and coupled to the wheels. The parking brake function is achieved at least in-part by concurrently activating the first and second gear stages. A computing device is configured to activate the bistable locking means when the commercial vehicle is at a standstill and configured to send a brake request via an electronic signal to an electronic brake control unit to activate the service brake.

Lawn care vehicle brake system with intuitive control
11554759 · 2023-01-17 · ·

A riding lawn care vehicle (10) may include a frame (60), a steering assembly (30), a brake assembly (110), and a mechanical brake linkage assembly (120). At least a first drive wheel (32) and a second drive wheel (32) of the riding lawn care vehicle (10) may be attachable to the frame (60). The steering assembly (30) may include a first steering lever (34) and a second steering lever (34), where the first and second steering levers (34) are operably coupled to the first and second drive wheels (32) respectively to facilitate turning of the riding lawn care vehicle (10) based on drive speed control of the first and second drive wheels (32) responsive to positioning of the first and second steering levers (34) along a first direction when the first and second steering levers are in an operating position. The brake assembly may be operably coupled to the first and second drive wheels (32) to enable brakes to be selectively applied to the first and second drive wheels (32). The mechanical brake linkage assembly (120) may be configured to activate the brake assembly (110) relative to the first and second drive wheels (32) in response to movement of the first and second steering levers (34) in a direction parallel to the first direction after the first and second steering levers (34) have been moved from the operating position to a non-operating position.

ELECTRO-MECHANICAL ACTUATOR WITH INTEGRATED FAIL-OPERATIONAL MECHANISM

Some embodiments relate to an electro-mechanical actuator that includes a screw, structurally segregated (split) housings, first and second nuts coupled to the screw, a sensor assembly, a plurality of motors, and a controller. The first nut is coupled to a first mounting point, and the second nut is coupled to a second mounting point. The sensor assembly may generate signals indicative of (e.g., relative) positions of left and right units of the actuator or positions of the first nut and the second nut on the screw. The controller controls the motors based on the signals generated by the sensor assembly. The motors may rotate each nut about a screw axis of the screw. This rotation results in one or both nuts moving along the screw. Movement between the first nut and the second nut along the screw adjusts a distance between the first mounting point and the second mounting point.
