The invention discloses a worm gear, worm, ball and wedge-disc type electronic
parking brake which comprises an actuating device and a
brake caliper
assembly. The
brake caliper
assembly comprises a push rod
assembly and a
piston assembly which are arranged in a cavity of a
brake caliper. The push rod assembly comprises a wedge disc, balls, a push rod shaft, a self-regulation screw, a pressure spring and a spring limiting sleeve. The push rod shaft extends out of the cavity and is connected with a transmission mechanism of the actuating device. The multiple balls are evenly distributed between the push rod shaft and the wedge disc in a clamped mode and used for generating axial push force. The self-regulation screw is connected with the self-regulation screw of the
piston assembly in a threaded mode. The actuating device comprises a shell, the transmission mechanism and a driving motor. The worm gear, worm, ball and wedge-disc type electronic
parking brake has the advantages that physical output of a driver can be reduced, a vehicle
parking brake system can be simplified, the gap self-regulation function, the speed-reduction and torque-increasing functions, the movement
conversion function and the mechanical reverse self-locking function can be conveniently achieved, and
electric power consumed during long-time parking can be reduced; in addition, the transformation
machining cost is low, and the manufacturing-process succession performance and the technological-process succession performance are good.
