ABSTRACT:
The present invention discloses a tapered braking device for electric winches which disposes a section of gear shaft, a section of core shaft, a wedge shape support, braking plates, an elastic element, a wedge shape piece A, a wedge shape piece B, a braking clutch base and so on in a gear box of an electric winch. When a motor works, the section of core shaft of the motor can drive the braking clutch base and the wedge shape pieces A, B to rotate, until a gap is formed between the friction faces of the wedge shape support and the wedge shape piece B and the braking plates so that the braking action stops. When the motor suddenly stops, a heavy load lifted by a tight wire rope reel provides a reverse pulling force so that the wedge shape piece B produces a reverse thrust force to push the friction faces of the braking plates, so the braking effect is achieved quickly. Based on the braking plates with the double tapered faces, the present invention can increase the braking area and the braking force and achieve safe braking. Furthermore, worn parts concentrate in the braking plates, so it only needs to replace the braking plates made of friction materials, which can simplify maintenance, reduce the costs and ensure service life of the gear box.
