Description

Technical Field

[0002] Vehicle brakes achieve braking by friction pads against the brake disc. Most brake calipers are attached to the brake disc by the outer ring of the disc, requiring considerable assembly space. However, in the field of electric vehicles, the interior space significantly impacts the overall vehicle design. Many of the electric vehicle's control functions require corresponding components, all of which occupy a certain amount of space.

Due to environmental space constraints, in some scenarios, the brake caliper needs to engage from the inner ring of a ring brake outwards. However, there are few such brake types in existing technologies, and even fewer designs that balance space occupancy with efficient brake assembly.

[0004] In order to overcome the above-mentioned defects in the existing technology, there is an urgent need in the field for a caliper bracket and a vehicle brake, which is used to engage the brake disc with the inner ring of the annular brake disc, adapt to the space requirements of the vehicle interior, and at the same time, the stress structure is stable to ensure the safe and reliable realization of the braking function.
