no. 1 Embodiment approach

[0076] refer to figure 1 , the disc brake system 1 for small vehicles including bicycles will be described. In the present invention, a small vehicle refers to a vehicle having wheels driven by at least any one of human driving force and electric driving force. Here, a case where the disc brake system 1 is applied to a bicycle as a small vehicle will be described.

[0077] A bicycle disc brake system 1 includes a disc brake rotor 10 according to an embodiment of the present invention. In this embodiment, the disc brake system 1 further includes an operating device 2 such as a brake lever and a brake device 4 . In this embodiment, the disc brake system 1 is a front brake system for braking a front wheel (front wheel) WF of a bicycle.

[0078] The operating device 2 is provided, for example, on a handlebar H of a bicycle. The brake device 4 includes a brake caliper 4A and brake pads (not shown). The operating device 2 is hydraulically or mechanically connected to the brake...

no. 2 approach

[0097] The main difference between the disc brake rotor 10 of the second embodiment and the disc brake rotor 10 of the first embodiment is the relationship between the pair of first through holes 26 and the concave portion 28 . Such as Figure 8 As shown, the concave portion 28 is located at the pair of first through holes 26 and is not provided along the entire circumference of both the first through hole 26A and the other first through hole 26B. In this embodiment, the concave portion 28 is provided in a pair of first through holes 26 so as to partition one first through hole 26A from the other first through hole 26B. That is, at the pair of first through holes 26 , one first through hole 26A and the other first through hole 26B are partitioned by the intermediate member 40 .

no. 3 approach

[0099] The main point of difference between the disc brake rotor 10 of the third embodiment and the disc brake rotor 10 of the second embodiment is the structure of the outer member 14 . Such as Figure 9 As shown, the outer member 14 is provided such that a plurality of pairs of first through holes 26 are arranged in the circumferential direction D3. One first through hole 26A and the other first through hole 26B among the pair of first through holes 26 are arranged in the circumferential direction D3. Among the pair of first through-holes 26 , one first through-hole 26A is provided in line symmetry with respect to the other first through-hole 26B across the concave portion 28 . In this embodiment, among the pair of first through holes 26 , one first through hole 26A and the other first through hole 26B are formed to have the same shape and size as each other. The third through-hole 34 is provided in the outer member 14 so as to be aligned with the first through-hole 26 in ...

Abstract

The present invention provides a disc brake rotor with high cooling efficiency. The disc brake rotor for small vehicles including bicycles includes: an inner member configured to be attachable to a wheel of the small vehicle; and an outer member relative to the wheel of the small vehicle. The inner part is arranged on the radially outer side of the disc brake rotor, and the outer part includes a braking surface, a pair of first through holes penetrating the braking surface in the axial direction of the disc brake rotor. A hole, and a recess provided at least between the pair of first through holes so as to be recessed in the axial direction with respect to the braking surface.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a disc brake rotor, and more particularly to a disc brake rotor for small vehicles including bicycles. Background technique [0002] As one of methods for braking a wheel of a bicycle or the like, there is known a method of pressing a brake pad against a disc brake rotor that rotates integrally with the wheel. [0003] In order to reduce the weight of the disc brake rotor, through holes may be formed in the disc brake rotor. However, depending on the number and opening area of ​​the formed through-holes, there may be a problem that the disc brake rotor generates heat as it comes into contact with the brake pad, thereby affecting the cooling efficiency of the disc brake rotor. Contents of the invention [0004] An object of the present invention is to provide a disc brake rotor with excellent cooling efficiency. [0005] A disc brake rotor according to a first aspect of the present invention is a disc brake rotor for...
