[0045] Specifically, the monitoring assembly 3 further comprises a sliding seat 305 arranged in the fixed box 301, a sliding hole 306 is arranged in the middle of the sliding seat 305, the diameter of the sliding hole 306 is matched with the plug rod 303, one side of the sliding seat 305 is connected with a limiting ring 307 through a sleeve, the limiting ring 307 is connected with the plug rod 303 through a locking assembly, one side of the sliding seat 305 is fixedly provided with an extension plate 308, one side of the extension plate 308 is provided with a touch switch 309, and the touch switch 309 is fixedly arranged in the fixed box 301; one side of the sliding seat 305 is fixedly provided with an indicating block 310, a sliding groove 311 in strip structure is arranged in the middle of one side of the fixed box 301, and the indicating block 310 is arranged in the sliding groove 311, and the sliding groove 311 is provided with scale lines 312 on the two sides of the groove.

[0046] The locking assembly is an electromagnetic bolt, and by arranging the indicating block 310 and the scale lines 312, the position of the sliding seat 305 can be monitored, so that the wear condition of the brake pad assembly 2 can be monitored.

[0047] Specifically, an adjusting screw hole 313 is arranged in the middle of the sliding seat 305, an adjusting screw rod 314 is arranged in the adjusting screw hole 313, one end of the adjusting screw rod 314 is arranged in the inner wall of the fixed box 301 through a bearing, and the other end of the adjusting screw rod 314 is provided with an adjusting knob.

By arranging the depth of the groove 203, the movable plate 205 can have an activity in the groove 203, and by arranging the width of the through groove 204, the connecting plate 206 can have an activity in the through groove 204.

[0049] Specifically, the connecting assembly 5 comprises a fine adjustment screw hole 502 arranged in the end of the connecting arm 304 away from the plug rod 303, a fine adjustment screw rod 503 arranged in the fine adjustment screw hole 502, a connecting rod 504 movably arranged at one end of the fine adjustment screw rod 503 through a bearing, and the end of the connecting rod 504 is connected with the end of the movable arm 207, and the two ends of the movable arm 207 are both provided with a connecting sleeve 501; one of the connecting sleeves 501 is fixedly connected with the telescopic piece 6, and the other connecting sleeve 501 is inserted with the connecting rod 504.

[0050] By rotating the fine adjustment screw 503, the position between the fine adjustment screw 503 and the movable arm 207 is adjusted, so that the distance between the movable arm 207 and the connecting arm 304 is adjusted, because the movable arm 207 can drive the sliding seat 305 to move, and the monitoring assembly 3 detects the wear of the brake pad assembly 2 according to the position of the sliding seat 305, so rotating the fine adjustment screw 503 can realize the adjustment of the monitoring range of the device.

[0051] Specifically, a positioning hole 505 is formed through one side of the connecting sleeve 501 connected with the connecting rod 504, a positioning screw is arranged through the inside of the positioning hole 505, and an array of screw holes matched with the positioning screw is formed through one end of the outer side wall of the connecting rod 504. By arranging the positioning screw and the positioning hole 505, the positioning screw can pass through the positioning hole 505, so that the position between the connecting rod 504 and the connecting sleeve 501 is fixed.

[0052] Specifically, the outer side wall of the fixed box 301 is fixedly provided with a mounting seat 8 at the top end, and a mounting bolt 9 is arranged through a screw hole formed in the middle of the mounting seat 8. The outer side of the mounting bolt 9 is sleeved with a fixing seat 10, and the fixing seat 10 is fixedly arranged at the end of the brake caliper 1. By arranging the fixing seat 10 and the mounting seat 8, the mounting of the monitoring assembly 3 can be realized.

[0053] Specifically, the outer side of the movable plate 205 is flush with the outer side of the frosted part 202, and the strength of the movable plate 205 is higher than that of the frosted part 202. Because the strength of the movable plate 205 is higher than that of the frosted part 202, the wear of the movable plate 205 during braking is much lower than that of the frosted part 202.

[0054] Specifically, the elastic member 11 is a thrust spring, one end of the thrust spring is fixedly connected with the rear side of the movable plate 205, and the end of the thrust spring away from the movable plate 205 is fixedly connected with the groove bottom of the groove 203.

[0055] By arranging the thrust spring, the movable plate 205 can be kept in close contact with the brake disc 4 during braking, and when the movable plate 205 moves, the through slot 204 limits the connecting plate 206, so that the movable plate 205 and the groove 203 are prevented from being separated.

[0056] The locking assembly is an electromagnetic bolt. In the initial state, the electromagnetic bolt is in a locked state with the limiting ring 307 and the plug rod 303. The inner wall of the brake caliper 1 is provided with a piston, and the number of the piston is two. The ends of the two pistons away from the brake caliper 1 are respectively connected with the two brake pad assemblies 2. The brake caliper 1 is provided with a control system, and the control system controls the electrical elements in the device.

[0057] When it is necessary to zero the indicating block 310, the control system controls the electromagnetic plug to retract, so that the limiting ring 307 is in a non-locking state with the plug rod 303, and then the adjusting knob is adjusted to drive the adjusting screw 314 to rotate, the adjusting screw 314 cooperates with the adjusting screw hole 313 on the sliding seat 305, so that the initial position of the sliding seat 305 can be adjusted, so that the zero adjustment of the device during installation can be realized. After zero adjustment is completed, the electromagnetic plug is ejected so that the limiting ring 307 is in a locking state with the plug rod 303.

[0058] In use, the brake caliper 1 is symmetrically provided with brake pad assemblies 2 inside, and the two brake pad assemblies 2 are respectively located on both sides of the brake disc 4. When braking, the control system controls the two pistons inside the brake caliper 1 to elongate, and the pistons respectively push the corresponding base discs in the direction of the brake disc 4 during elongation, so that the two base discs are finally attached to the surface of the brake disc 4. At this time, the brake pad assembly 2 rubs with the surface of the brake disc 4, and at this time the brake disc 4 achieves the braking effect under the action of friction. In the braking process, the abrasive part 202 in the brake pad assembly 2 is worn due to friction, and the thickness of the abrasive part 202 changes. At this time, the monitoring assembly 3 can monitor the thickness of the abrasive part 202 to achieve the effect of monitoring the wear of the brake pad assembly 2.

[0059] In the braking process, the piston in the brake caliper 1 pushes the base 201 to move in the direction of the brake disc 4, and the base 201 drives the abrasive part 202 to move, so that one side of the abrasive part 202 is attached to the surface of the brake disc 4. In this process, the base 201 synchronously drives the movable plate 205 to move in the direction of the brake disc 4 through the elastic element 11, so that the movable plate 205 moves synchronously with the abrasive part 202. Because the strength of the movable plate 205 is higher than that of the abrasive part 202, the wear of the movable plate 205 during braking is much lower than that of the abrasive part 202, so that the movable plate 205 is attached to the surface of the brake disc 4 before the abrasive part 202 after the abrasive part 202 is worn.

[0060] In the process of moving the movable plate 205 to the brake disc 4, the movable plate 205 drives the movable arm 207 to move to the direction of the brake disc 4 through the connecting plate 206, since one end of the movable arm 207 is connected with the connecting arm 304 through the connecting assembly 5, and the other end of the movable arm 207 is connected with the fixed plate 7 through the telescopic piece 6 (the telescopic piece 6 can be an elastic telescopic rod), so that in the process of moving the movable arm 207 to the direction of the brake disc 4, the movable arm 207 drives the telescopic piece 6 to elongate to the direction of the brake disc 4, the movable arm 207 drives the connecting arm 304 to move to the direction of the brake disc 4 through the connecting assembly 5, the connecting arm 304 drives the limiting ring 307 to move to the direction of the brake disc 4 through the inserting rod 303, the limiting ring 307 drives the sliding seat 305 to move through the sleeve, the sliding seat 305 drives the indicating block 310 and the extension plate 308 to move in the process of moving, and the indicating block 310 moves in the sliding groove 311. When the movable plate 205 contacts the surface of the brake disc 4, the control system records the position of the indicating block 310 at this time, and the numerical value of this position is set as a first numerical value.

[0061] Since the strength of the movable plate 205 is higher than that of the sanding part 202, the wear of the movable plate 205 in the braking process is much lower than that of the sanding part 202, so that after the movable plate 205 is combined with the surface of the brake disc 4, since the depth of the groove 203 is greater than the thickness of the movable plate 205, the movable plate 205 will compress the elastic piece 11 as the piston continues to elongate, so that the movable plate 205 gradually moves to the deep part of the groove 203, and finally the outer side surface of the movable plate 205 is flush with the outer side surface of the sanding part 202; since the width of the through groove 204 is greater than the thickness of the connecting plate 206, so that in the process of moving the movable plate 205 to the deep part of the groove 203, the connecting plate 206 is simultaneously driven to move to the deep part of the groove 203, the connecting plate 206 is simultaneously driven to move to the deep part of the groove 203 in the process of moving the connecting plate 206 to the deep part of the groove 203, the movable arm 207 is simultaneously driven to move away from the brake disc 4, in this process, the movable arm 207 extrudes the telescopic piece 6 to contract, and the movable arm 207 drives the connecting arm 304 to move away from the brake disc 4 through the connecting assembly 5, the connecting arm 304 drives the limiting ring 307 to move away from the brake disc 4 through the inserting rod 303, the limiting ring 307 drives the sliding seat 305 to move through the sleeve, the sliding seat 305 drives the indicating block 310 and the extension plate 308 to move in the process of moving, and the indicating block 310 moves in the sliding groove 311. When the outer side surface of the movable plate 205 is flush with the outer side surface of the sanding part 202, the control system records the position of the indicating block 310 at this time, and the numerical value of this position is set as a second numerical value; the wear value of the sanding part 202 is obtained by subtracting the second numerical value from the first numerical value.

[0062] When the wear condition of the abrasive portion 202 is more serious, the thickness of the abrasive portion 202 is thin, and when the surface of the abrasive portion 202 and the movable plate 205 is in contact with the brake disc 4, the movement amplitude of the movable plate 205 in the groove 203 is large, and since the depth of the groove 203 is greater than the distance from the movable plate 205 to the brake disc 4, the movable plate 205 drives the connecting arm 304 to move through the connecting assembly 5 during the movement of the movable plate 205 to the deep part of the groove 203, the connecting arm 304 drives the sliding seat 305 to move to the direction of the touch switch 309, and the sliding seat 305 drives the indicating block 310 and the extension plate 308 to move synchronously during the movement of the sliding seat 305. Since the depth of the groove 203 is greater than the distance from the movable plate 205 to the brake disc 4, and the wear condition of the abrasive portion 202 is more serious, the movement amplitude of the extension plate 308 moving to the direction of the touch switch 309 is large, and finally the extension plate 308 is in contact with the touch switch 309. At this time, the touch switch 309 is closed, and at this time, the touch switch 309 can connect the alarm circuit connected thereto to prompt the user to replace the brake pad assembly 2.

[0063] Since the corresponding movable plates 205 on both sides of the brake disc 4 are not at the same height as the abrasive portion 202, when the brake pad assembly 2 brakes the brake disc 4, the parts of the movable plates 205 on both sides of the brake disc 4 in contact with the abrasive portion 202 and the brake disc 4 are also not at the same height (as Figure 13 The monitoring assembly 3 on both ends of the brake caliper 1 can monitor the distance from the movable plate 205 to the fixed plate 7 and the distance from the movable plate 205 to the connecting arm 304, and the control system can monitor the values detected by the monitoring assembly 3 on both ends of the brake caliper 1 to determine whether the installation of the brake assembly is skewed. When the control system detects that the values detected by the monitoring assembly 3 on both ends of the brake caliper 1 are different, it indicates that the installation of the brake pad assembly 2 on both sides of the brake disc 4 is skewed, that is, the distance from the movable arm 207 to the fixed plate 7 is not equal to the distance from the movable arm 207 to the connecting arm 304, so the distance between the connecting arm 304 and the movable arm 207 needs to be adjusted. By rotating the fine adjustment screw 503, the position between the fine adjustment screw 503 and the movable arm 207 is adjusted, so that the distance between the movable arm 207 and the connecting arm 304 is adjusted, and when the distance from the movable arm 207 to the fixed plate 7 is equal to the distance from the movable arm 207 to the connecting arm 304, the position between the fine adjustment screw 503 and the movable arm 207 is locked by the positioning screw passing through the positioning hole 505 on the connecting sleeve 501 and the screw hole on the connecting rod 504.

[0064] Finally, it should be noted that the above only describes the preferred embodiments of the present application and is not intended to limit the present application. Although the present application has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art will appreciate that the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments can be modified or some technical features thereof can be replaced by equivalent features, and any modification, equivalent replacement, improvement, etc. made within the spirit and principle of the present application shall be included in the protection scope of the present application.
