Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the field of fixed calipers, and in particular to a fixed caliper and sand mold. BACKGROUND

[0002] Chinese patent CN201822061345.4 discloses a friction plate return spring. The friction plate return spring relatively increases the elastic deformation range of the elastic arm, and can reduce the "pre-load force" of the friction plate with the increase of the normal elastic reaction force and the wear of the friction plate. The present application adopts the structural design of the connected elastic arm, the extension arm and the connecting structure, so that the friction plate return spring can be elastically folded with a predetermined load, and the elastic deformation range of the elastic part can be changed automatically during the wear life of the friction plate, that is, the rattle and force change of the friction plate can be prevented. However, the return spring body of this structure has small installation space and many bending points, so it has high requirements for manufacturing precision. When the brake block is worn, the brake block moves towards the brake disc. Due to the small support point of the spring sheet structure of the traditional structure, the spring force is prone to decline in durability, resulting in slow return speed of the brake caliper in the later period, abnormal noise when the brake is released, and other problems.

[0003] Chinese patent CN201980027491.X discloses a fixed caliper body for a disc brake disc, which is in separable parts but ensures the accurate alignment of the bridge and the elongated element, which ensures perfect orthogonality between the parts, which does not cause problems to the pad, such as jamming and uneven wear of the pad.

[0035] In the embodiment, as to the internal chamber, the piston cavities 202 and the oil passage cavities 203 in the inner plier body 204 and the outer plier body 200 are mirror-symmetrically arranged, so that the acting forces of the inner brake piston and the outer brake piston can be as same as possible, although there is actually a difference.

[0036] Meanwhile, in order to facilitate the description, the end connecting line of the mirror-symmetrical oil passage cavity 203 is defined as the connecting axis 207, and the mirror-symmetrical oil passage cavity 203 described refers to the symmetrical part of the oil passage cavity 203 of the inner caliper body 204 and the oil passage cavity 203 of the outer caliper body 200. The connecting axis 207 is parallel to the axis of the brake disc, and this design can make the axis of the connecting cavity and the connecting axis 207 be collinear when the caliper body 200 is in the positioning state. The oil passage cavity 203 is in the shape of a strip as a whole, and the size of the cross section of the oil passage cavity 203 gradually decreases from the connecting end to the connecting body. The side wall of the weight-reducing port 206 is provided with a clamping groove 208, the supporting body 100 is provided with a mounting sheet 109, the direction of the mounting sheet 109 is opposite to the direction of the arc-shaped port 107, and the mounting sheet 109 is arranged perpendicularly to the supporting body 100. The mounting sheet 109 is clamped in the clamping groove 208. In the initial state, the surface of the supporting body 100 and the inner side of the connecting arm are in contact under the action of the return portion 101.

[0037] The edge of the inner caliper body 204 extends a fixing support, and the fixing support includes a plurality of connecting ears 209. The connecting ears 209 and the outer wall of the piston cavity 202 of the inner caliper body 204 form a reinforcing rib 210 therebetween.

[0038] The spring structure is as follows: the spring support body 100 and the return portion 101 for abutting against the brake block 103, the return portion 101 and the spring support body 100 are an integral structure formed by bending of the spring with elastic return capability; the return portion 101 includes an abutting portion 104 matched with the supporting rod 102 and the brake block 103, and a bending portion 105 connecting the abutting portion 104 and the spring support body 100; the abutting portion 104 includes a cladding portion 106 capable of being cladded on the supporting rod 102, one end of the cladding portion 106 in the axial direction abuts against the brake block 103, the cladding portion 106 has an arc-shaped port 107, the cladding portion 106 can abut against the supporting rod 102 through the arc-shaped port 107, and the cladding portion 106 can be elastically deformed under the action of external force. In the present scheme, the spring support body 100 extends in the radial direction of the brake block 103 during installation, wherein the spring support body 100 is located between the inner brake block 103 and the outer brake block 103, and the spring support body 100, the inner brake block 103 and the outer brake block 103 are arranged substantially perpendicularly. The cladding portion 106 is in the shape of a semicircle as a whole, and the semicircle in the present embodiment does not require a degree, but only needs to be capable of achieving matching support with the supporting rod 102.

[0039] The cladding portion 106 serves the purpose of cladding and supporting on one hand, and on the other hand, due to the fact that it is a spring material, it can be elastically deformed under force. In the present scheme, the cladding portion 106 and the bending portion 105 both provide the function of accumulating and releasing elastic potential energy of the spring.

[0040] In order to realize the stable support of the inner brake block 103 and the outer brake block 103, the number of the return parts 101 is four, which are arranged at the four corners of the support body 100, and the four return parts 101 are arranged in an "X" shape. That is, two return parts 101 are arranged on the inner brake block 103 and the outer brake block 103, respectively, and act on the two ends of the jaw back side 113 of the brake block 103 in the radial direction.

[0041] In the embodiment, the arc-shaped opening 107 of the cladding part 106 faces the jaw opening 201 side 114. The middle part of the support body 100 is provided with a radially extending weight-reducing groove 108, and at least one end of the weight-reducing groove 108 is formed into a mounting sheet 109 by flanging. The mounting sheet 109 is arranged vertically to the support body 100, and the direction of the mounting sheet 109 is opposite to the direction of the arc-shaped opening 107. The mounting sheet 109 cooperates with the jaw body 200 to realize the function of mounting the spring sheet, and the combination structure of the mounting sheet 109 and the cladding part 106 can realize the positioning of the spring sheet in the axial direction, the radial direction and the inner-outer direction.

[0042] In the embodiment, the bending part 105 includes a first bending sheet 110 connected with the support body 100, a second bending sheet 111 in the middle part, and a third bending sheet 112 connected with the return part 101. The structure of the bending part 105 composed of the first bending sheet 110, the second bending sheet 111 and the third bending sheet 112 is approximately S-shaped.

[0043] In the embodiment, the first bending sheet 110 extends towards the jaw opening 201 side 114, the second bending sheet 111 is arranged parallel to the support body 100, and the third bending sheet 112 extends towards the jaw back side 113. The included angle between the first bending sheet 110 and the support body 100 is obtuse, and the included angle between the second bending sheet 111 and the third bending sheet 112 is obtuse.

[0044] In the embodiment, the other end of the cladding part 106 in the axial direction is a beveled end face, and the beveled opening of the beveled end face faces the direction of the surface of the brake block 103 contacted by the cladding part 106. The beveled end face and the side surface of the bending part 105 are circularly arc-shaped. The third bending sheet 112 and the cladding part 106 are circularly arc-shaped. The cladding part 106 includes an inner section 115 connected with the third bending sheet 112, and an outer section 116 extending towards the brake block 103 and not connected with the third bending sheet 112. The outer section 116 can be deformed under external force, but will not be separated from the contact with the brake block 103. The support spring sheet designed in the scheme is integrally formed by bending, and the designed contact structure is large and stable, and can be matched with the support rod 102. Therefore, the brake block 103 will not shake and make noise during axial movement. Moreover, the U-shaped structure can provide reliable elastic force during the whole deformation process, and has long service life.

[0045] The working process is as follows:

[0046] The mounting piece 109 is fixed on the back side 113 of the pliers, and the four arc-shaped openings 107 of the reset part 101 are in contact with the two ends of the support rod 102, and the contact part 104 is in contact with the brake block 103, and a small predetermined force is applied to avoid the shaking of the brake block 103.

[0047] When braking, the brake block 103 is pushed to the brake disc under the action of the piston, and the brake block 103 simultaneously applies a force to the end of the reset part 101. Under the action of the external force, the contact part receives a force away from the support rod 102, and the reset part 101 deforms to a certain extent, and the deformation trend is towards the back side 113 of the pliers, so that the axial direction of the reset part 101 is skewed, and the reset part 101 accumulates elastic potential energy. When the brake is released, the reset part 101 returns to the initial shape and releases the elastic potential energy. The brake block 103 resets.

[0048] After using one end for a period of time, as the friction block and the brake disc wear during the use of the product, the piston will extend a part to reduce the brake gap caused by the wear of the friction block, and the initial state of the reset end will be further compressed, and the spring force will increase to compensate for the attenuation of the spring force during the durability use. At the same time, the bending part 105 can compensate for the subsequent brake return force. Therefore, the service life is longer.
