Brake device and tower lift comprising the brake device

A brake device comprising:

• a first brake body and a second brake body, which are configured to selectively come into contact with a rail module, prevent a carriage module from falling, and be movable in an inclined direction with respect to a vertical direction;
• an electromagnet arranged under the first brake body and configured to pull the first brake body;
• and
• a link unit configured to connect the first brake body to the second brake body and transfer tension from the first brake body to the second brake body,
• wherein the link unit includes a link member apart from the first brake body and the second brake body in the vertical direction, a first connection portion configured to connect the link member to the first brake body;
• a second connection portion configured to connect the link member to the second brake body, and a fixing member arranged on a central axis of the link member, and
• the first brake body and the second brake body move in opposite directions from each other.

A tower lift comprising:

• a rail module extending in a vertical direction;
• a carriage module configured to be movable along the rail module by a magnetic levitation method;
• and
• a brake device configured to move along the rail module integrally with the carriage module,
• wherein the brake device includes a first brake body and a second brake body, which are configured to selectively come into contact with the rail module to prevent the carriage module from falling, an electromagnet arranged under the first brake body and configured to provide magnetic force to the first brake body, and a link unit configured to connect the first brake body to the second brake body and transfer tension from the first brake body to the second brake body,
• the link unit includes a link member apart from the first brake body and the second brake body in the vertical direction, a first connection portion configured to connect the link member to the first brake body, a second connection portion configured to connect the link member to the second brake body, and a fixing member arranged on a central axis of the link member, and
• the first brake body and the second brake body move in opposite directions from each other.
