Abstract

The invention relates to brake pads (30) used to boost batteries with electricity generated by braking in electric, hybrid and internal combustion engine powered vehicles. Specifically, the invention relates to brake pads (30) containing a dynamo (33) which is connected to the holder (32) and the plate (31) and thus to the brake pad (30), and which generates electricity by the wheel on it rotating when it touches the disc (20) during braking.

Description

1 TARIFF ELECTRICITY GENERATING BRAKE CALIPER PAD TECHNICAL FIELD The invention relates to braking in electric, hybrid, and internal combustion engine vehicles. The electricity produced is related to the brake pads used to boost the batteries. The invention specifically relates to the contact between the holder and the plate, and thus to the brake pad, during braking. A dynamo is a device that generates electricity by rotating a wheel that touches a disc. It relates to the brake pads included. 10 STATE OF THE ART Brake pads are a component of disc brakes used in automotive and other applications. Brake pads convert the car's kinetic energy into thermal energy through friction. Brake 15 The brake pad is located between the brake caliper and the disc. In a conventional vehicle, when the brakes are applied, the brakes convert kinetic energy for another purpose. It converts unusable thermal (heat) energy into kinetic energy through a recovery system. The energy is converted into useful electrical energy. The vehicle, at its current speed (downhill), reaches 20... When driving or braking, the alternator voltage rises above the baseline electrical system level. is removed. During these stages, the alternator temporarily transfers the vehicle's kinetic energy to the vehicle. It can convert the energy stored in its battery into electrical energy. When the vehicle then accelerates... or when driven at constant speeds, this energy is used to relieve the load on the alternator. It is used and thus provides fuel savings of up to 3% depending on the driving cycle. It allows. In the current technology, electricity recovery is done via the alternator. 2 In conclusion, in order to solve the aforementioned problems that exist in the current technology, The need for a new economical, convenient, practical electric power generating caliper clutch. And the inadequacy of existing solutions necessitates an improvement in the relevant technical field. He has done. 5 THE PURPOSE OF THE INVENTION The present invention aims to eliminate the aforementioned disadvantages and contribute to the relevant technical field. Developed to bring new advantages, the electricity generated by braking in vehicles This relates to brake pads used for jump-starting batteries. 10 The main goal of the invention is to generate electricity from the energy released during braking. It is the mechanism. The brake caliper, which compresses the disc during braking, and the brake pads on the caliper... Their brake pads simply convert mechanical energy into heat energy. This heat energy is wasted. It remains. In our invention, the calipers that engage when braking consist only of the brake disc and 15 will not be converted into heat energy between the brake pads and will also be integrated into the calipers A dynamo generates electricity by making contact with a disc and receiving motion from it. The structural and characteristic features and all the advantages of the invention are given in the figures below. Thanks to the detailed explanation written with references to these figures, 20 This will be understood, and therefore the evaluation should also take these forms and detailed explanations into consideration. It needs to be done by taking precautions. FIGURES THAT WILL HELP UNDERSTAND THE INVENTION FIGURE 1; This is a picture showing the brake pad, which is the subject of the invention. 25 FIGURE 2; This is a cross-sectional image of the brake pad, which is the subject of the invention. 3 REFERENCE NUMBERS 10. Caliper 20. Disc 30. Brake pads Table 5, Part 31 32. Retainer 33. Dynamo DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION 10 In this detailed explanation, the preferred choice of the electric generating caliper (10) pad (30) is... These structures are designed solely for the purpose of better understanding the subject and without any limitations. It is explained in a way that will not create an impact. Figure 1-2 shows the subject of the invention, the electric generating caliper (10) pad (30) and its details 15 It is shown that when the brake pedal is pressed, the pistons inside the calipers (10) It is activated by hydraulic pressure and presses the brake pad (30) against the brake disc (20). friction when the brake pad (30) presses against the brake disc (20) and the brake disc (20) rotates a force is generated and due to this friction force, the rotating brake disc (20) movement is restricted. As the force increases, the brake disc (20) is forced to stop. Brake disc 20 (20) Since it is rotating together with the wheels, it is forced to stop on the wheel. In this case The vehicle has braked, but only thermal energy is released and emitted into the atmosphere. Here... The brake pad (30) plate (31) engages. With the new design, the dynamo (33) holders (32) The attached brake pad (30) plate (31) is powered by hydraulic or air by the caliper. Pushed by the pressure, the brake pads (30) and dynamos (33) that it carries are pressed against the disc (20) 25 4 It makes contact with the disc on the dynamo (33) both when the vehicle brakes and when it is braking. It generates electricity thanks to the friction of the dynamo wheels. The dynamo (33) produces rotational motion. It receives it from the rotating brake disc (20). When the vehicle brakes completely and the movement stops The dynamo (33) finishes rotating and the electricity generation in the dynamo (33) ends. This cycle The braking continues every time the vehicle moves and the brakes are applied. This is called inertial braking. 5 The energy is stored or used as electricity in the vehicle. These dynamos (33) convert the vehicle voltage to electricity. It can be selected as either 12 or 24 volts. The scope of protection in this application is defined in the claims section and is explicitly stated above. The examples given cannot be limited to those described; a person skilled in the technique can make a difference in the invention. the innovation presented can be achieved by using similar structures and / or 10 this structure can also be applied to other similar fields using the same technology. It is clear. Therefore, such structures foster innovation and especially the state of the technology. It is also obvious that it will lack the criterion of being surpassed.
