[0093] The working principle of the distributed electronic mechanical brake actuator based on the double-roller cylindrical cam is as follows.

[0094] The process of applying and adjusting the brake force size is as follows: when the driver steps on the brake pedal, the motor (1) is energized, the motor shaft (48) rotates and drives the first universal joint to rotate, the first universal joint output fork (4) drives the upper end transmission shaft (55) to make clockwise rotation; the upper end transmission shaft (55) transmits the rotary motion to the lower end transmission shaft (6) through the telescopic spline (5), thereby driving the second universal joint to transmit the rotary motion to the bevel gear set through the gear shaft (8), the second bevel gear (11) drives the cylindrical cam to rotate clockwise, and the size rollers on the cylindrical cam are supported and limited by the cylindrical cam track, thereby driving the rear brake caliper (9) to translate along the central axis of the second side plate through hole, and the rear brake caliper (9) drives the inner brake pad (20) to press against the brake disc (17); at the same time, the moving shaft (22) is driven to move forward along the first moving groove (42) and the second moving groove (46) when the rear brake caliper (9) moves forward, and the corresponding lever moves forward, at this time, the lever (23) can only rotate clockwise around the lever shaft (26), the lever (23) drives the connecting rod to translate right through the lever connecting rod connecting shaft (68), which makes the first connecting rod rotating pin mounting through hole (73) and the second connecting rod rotating pin mounting through hole (71) of the connecting rod (25) drive the first connecting rod rotating pin (75) and the second connecting rod rotating pin (76) to move to the motor (1) side while rotating around the first connecting rod rotating pin (75) and the second connecting rod rotating pin (76) respectively; the first connecting rod rotating pin (75) and the second connecting rod rotating pin (76) drive the front brake caliper body (19) to move, and the first guide rail (78) and the second guide rail (79) on the front brake caliper body (20) can only translate along the first front brake caliper support column through slot (44) and the second front brake caliper support column through slot (45) under the limiting action of the first front brake caliper support column through slot (44) and the second front brake caliper support column through slot (45), therefore, the front brake caliper body (19) is translated to the brake disc side under the driving of the first connecting rod rotating pin (75) and the second connecting rod rotating pin (76), thereby driving the outer brake pad (18) to press against the brake disc (17), and finally the brake disc is applied with brake force through the outer brake pad (18) and the inner brake pad (20).

[0095] In the process of applying the brake, the driver controls the motor (1) output motor torque through the brake pedal opening, so as to realize the adjustment of the brake force size; when the wheels run on different road surfaces and jump, the telescopic spline (5) of the transmission shaft can not only ensure power transmission, but also eliminate the relative position change of the installation base caused by wheel jumping.

[0096] The process of canceling the brake force is as follows: when the driver releases the brake pedal, the motor (1) is energized, the motor shaft (48) rotates counterclockwise, the motor shaft rotates and drives the first universal joint to rotate, the first universal joint output fork (4) drives the upper end transmission shaft (55) to rotate counterclockwise; the upper end transmission shaft (55) transmits the rotary motion to the lower end transmission shaft (6) through the telescopic spline (5), thereby driving the second universal joint to transmit the rotary motion to the bevel gear set through the gear shaft (8), the second bevel gear (11) drives the cylindrical cam to rotate counterclockwise, and the large and small rollers on the cylindrical cam are supported and limited by the cylindrical cam track, thereby driving the rear brake caliper (9) to translate along the center axis of the second side plate through hole, and the rear brake caliper (9) drives the inner brake pad (20) to move away from the brake disc (17); at the same time, the moving shaft (22) is driven to move backward along the first moving groove (42) and the second moving groove (46) when the rear brake caliper (9) moves backward, thereby driving the lever (23) to move backward, at this time, the lever (23) can only rotate counterclockwise around the lever shaft (26), and the lever (23) drives the connecting rod to translate through the lever connecting rod connecting shaft (68), which makes the first connecting rod rotating pin mounting through hole (71) and the second connecting rod rotating pin mounting through hole (73) of the connecting rod (25) drive the first connecting rod rotating pin (75) and the second connecting rod rotating pin (76) to move away from the motor (1) side while rotating around the first connecting rod rotating pin (75) and the second connecting rod rotating pin (76), respectively; the first connecting rod rotating pin (75) and the second connecting rod rotating pin (76) drive the front brake caliper body (19) to move leftward, and the first guide rail (78) and the second guide rail (79) on the front brake caliper body (20) can only translate along the first front brake caliper support column through groove (44) and the second front brake caliper support column through groove (45) under the limiting action of the first front brake caliper support column through groove (44) and the second front brake caliper support column through groove (45), therefore, the front brake caliper body (19) is translated away from the brake disc side under the driving of the first connecting rod rotating pin (75) and the second connecting rod rotating pin (76), thereby driving the outer brake pad (18) to separate from the brake disc (17). The inner brake pad (20) and the outer brake pad (18) separate from the brake disc (17), and finally the brake force is canceled.
