Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to a disc brake for a motor vehicle, in particular a fixed caliper brake for a commercial vehicle, the disc brake having a brake caliper, two brake pads which are accommodated on the brake caliper and can move relative to each other, and a brake carrier for accommodating the brake caliper, wherein the brake carrier is designed to couple the brake caliper to a rigid axle part of the motor vehicle.

[0002] Furthermore, the invention relates to an assembly for a disc brake of a motor vehicle, the assembly comprising a brake carrier and a brake caliper. The invention also relates to a motor vehicle, in particular a commercial vehicle, having a disc brake. Background Art

[0003] Disc brakes of the above-mentioned type are well known in the prior art and are used on motor vehicles, such as passenger cars or commercial vehicles, for slowing down the movement of the vehicle. For this purpose, the known disc brakes usually have a brake disc which is mounted so as to be rotatable about an axis of rotation defined by an axle part of the motor vehicle. In addition, the disc brake has a brake caliper and two brake pads which are accommodated on the brake caliper and can be moved relative to each other, in particular on both sides of the brake disc. The brake pads can be brought into frictional action with the brake disc by means of an actuating mechanism, whereby a braking action is produced between the brake lining and the brake disc and thus the desired slowing down of the movement of the vehicle is achieved. The disc brake also comprises a brake carrier for accommodating the brake caliper, wherein the brake carrier is designed to couple the brake caliper to a rigid axle part of the motor vehicle.

[0004] Depending on the design of the brake caliper, it is mounted in a fixed manner parallel to the rotation axis of the brake disc or in a floating manner, i.e., movably parallel to the rotation axis of the brake disc. Due to the braking action that occurs between the brake disc and the brake lining, wear particles, also referred to as brake dust, usually form on the brake lining and the brake disc. The brake dust consists mainly of dust particles, which are relatively small compared to fine dust due to their particle size of <10 μm and are also classified as harmful to health and polluting the environment due to their chemical composition. Therefore, the release of brake dust into the surrounding environment is undesirable and should be avoided if possible.

[0005] For example, DE 10 2016 108 793 A1 discloses a disc brake for a vehicle, which has a brake caliper and a brake housing fastened to the brake caliper. The brake caliper and the brake housing fastened to the brake caliper allow the brake disc of the disc brake to be fully surrounded in order to reduce the release of brake dust into the surrounding environment. The connection between the brake caliper and the axle part of the vehicle via the brake housing is relatively complex in terms of design structure, which limits the universal applicability of such a brake housing. Summary of the invention

[0006] The object of the present invention is therefore to specify a disc brake for a motor vehicle and an assembly consisting of a brake caliper and a brake carrier, by means of which the packaging of the disc brake is simplified. Furthermore, the connection to the axle section of the vehicle is to be simplified in terms of design. At least alternative possibilities for the design of the disc brake are to be proposed with respect to the previously known solutions.

[0007] The invention achieves this object in a disk brake for a vehicle, in particular a commercial vehicle, having the features according to claim 1. In particular, the brake carrier and the brake caliper form a one-piece housing part which is designed to at least partially enclose a brake disk cooperating with a brake lining.

[0008] According to the invention, the solution sought here is to construct the brake caliper and the brake carrier, which usually accommodates the brake caliper in a movable manner, as an integral housing part, thereby simplifying the connection of the brake carrier in terms of design structure. In addition, due to the one-piece design, there are fewer separation points or separation points with a small amount of play, thereby significantly reducing the emission of brake dust into the surrounding environment.

[0009] An improved solution of the disc brake is that the housing parts are respectively constructed as castings. The design solution as a casting further simplifies the connection between the brake carrier and the brake caliper in terms of design structure. The areas of the disc brake that are usually constructed as a single part and often implemented to be movable with each other are preferably "fused" with each other into a single component. Therefore, the separation between the brake caliper and the brake carrier is avoided, which further improves the retention of brake dust on the disc brake. In a preferred design solution, this single component can be a component of the housing that completely surrounds the brake disk of the disc brake. In addition, the design solution as a casting also leads to the safe introduction and transmission of force into the areas of the housing parts that accommodate the brake lining and form the brake caliper, and from these areas into and transmission into the areas of the housing parts that are fastened to the axle part of the vehicle and form the brake carrier.

[0010] An improved solution of the disc brake provides that a coupling section for fastening an operating mechanism, in particular a brake cylinder, which can be operatively connected to at least one of the brake pads is provided on the housing part. The coupling section is also referred to as a caliper box. The coupling section is used to connect the operating mechanism of the disc brake to a housing part consisting of at least a brake carrier and a brake caliper, also referred to as a pad holder. Functionally, the coupling section is used to achieve, in particular, a mechanical transmission of the operating force, preferably generated by the operating mechanism, to at least one brake pad movably accommodated on the housing part. For this purpose, a kinematic mechanism is preferably arranged in the coupling section, which transmits the operating force from the brake cylinder to the brake pad movably accommodated on the housing, and the kinematic mechanism preferably acts directly on the movably accommodated brake pad. The coupling section itself preferably includes an assembly interface for the operating mechanism to be assembled thereon.

[0011] In a preferred embodiment, the coupling section is formed integrally with the housing part, which further simplifies the production of the housing part and ensures that forces acting on the housing part can be introduced or absorbed and transmitted safely.

[0012] According to an alternative design of the disc brake of the invention, it is provided that the housing part has an assembly interface for reversibly detachably coupling the coupling section to the housing part. Instead of a completely integrally designed housing part, at least the force introduction section that accommodates the actuating mechanism and is associated with the brake caliper is constructed as a component separate from the housing part, which is thus composed only of the brake caliper and the brake carrier. As a result, different requirements from different vehicle manufacturers for the geometry of the coupling section can also be optimally implemented. Instead of having to manufacture different housing parts for different vehicle types (due to divergent requirements), the housing part composed of the brake carrier and the brake caliper can preferably be manufactured as a standard part, wherein only the coupling section for the actuating mechanism thereon is implemented as a single part that is individually matched.

[0013] According to a preferred embodiment, the coupling section, which is designed to be separated from the housing part, is fastened to the assembly interface of the housing part by means of a universal connecting element, such as a screw connection. This makes it particularly easy to change the desired orientation or orientation angle of the actuating mechanism relative to the housing part.

[0014] According to a preferred improvement of the invention, a receiving area for brake pads is provided on the housing part, within which one brake pad is received in a fixed manner and the other brake pad is received in a movable manner. The receiving area on the housing part, at least the area forming the brake caliper, is arranged with its brake pads arranged thereon on both sides, in particular a brake disc, which is also part of a disc brake. Although only one brake pad is received in a movable manner on the housing part, the disc brake according to the invention is currently designed as a fixed caliper brake. Therefore, there is no relative mobility between the receiving area for receiving the brake pads and the brake carrier connecting the housing part to the axle part of the motor vehicle. As a result, the at least partial packaging of the brake disc and the brake pads that can be operatively connected to the brake disc to generate a braking force is further simplified. In order to counteract the wear that occurs during operation of the disc brake and the resulting increase in play in the design according to the invention in which only the brake lining on one side is movably accommodated on a housing part, it is provided according to the invention that on a disc brake designed as a fixed caliper brake, the brake disc is supported in an axially displaceable manner along an axle part of the motor vehicle that carries the brake disc.

[0015] In particular, when a fixed caliper brake designed in this way is actuated, a brake lining which is movably received on the housing part and which is arranged on the side of the housing part facing the coupling section for the actuating mechanism is pressed against the brake disk. Due to the pressure acting on the brake lining on the application side, the axially movable brake disk is pressed against the brake lining which is immovably received on the housing part, and a friction effect is then achieved.

[0016] According to a preferred embodiment of the disc brake, the housing part has an access to a receiving area for the brake lining, wherein the access can be closed by a cover part. In particular, an access to the receiving area similar to a conventional brake caliper is present on the upper side of the housing part, which is formed at least by the brake caliper and the brake carrier, through which the brake lining on the disc brake according to the invention can be replaced. The access is preferably designed in such a way that it can be sealed and closed by a cover part that completely covers the access. In the present case, the cover part is formed by a sheet metal body, which can be mounted on the housing part by means of conventional fastening means. One embodiment provides that the cover part is embedded in a corresponding corresponding recess on the housing part with a projection that protrudes, in particular, at a side edge. The cover part can then be fixed to the housing part by means of screw elements on the side edges formed opposite.

[0017] A preferred embodiment of the disc brake provides that the housing part has at least one circumferential wall which covers the brake lining and the brake disc at least on the circumferential side and has two side walls which are connected to the circumferential wall on the longitudinal side. The housing part is formed by the circumferential wall which covers the brake lining and the brake disc and the two side walls which extend in particular parallel to each other, with which the area of ​​the brake lining and the disc brake can be closed over a large area. The retention of brake dust which occurs during the operation of the disc brake is improved by means of the housing part which has in particular few separation points. According to the invention, the circumferential wall and the side walls which are connected to the longitudinal sides of the circumferential wall are connected to each other in a materially bonded manner along their connection area, thereby achieving the integrity of the housing part according to the invention.

[0018] Preferably, the inlet to the receiving area for the brake lining is configured on the circumferential wall of the housing part. In particular, the cover part that can close the inlet on the circumferential wall has a shape or contour that matches the circumferential wall adjacent to the inlet on both sides to achieve a precisely fitting abutment.

[0019] Preferably, the circumferential wall and the side wall extend to the height of the axis of rotation defined by the axle part, including a height deviation of 20 mm. As a result, the housing part formed in one piece preferably covers approximately half of the brake disc from its upper side. The area enclosed by the housing part on the disc brake is thus further increased, which also further simplifies the retention of brake dust generated during the braking process. In particular, at least one retention system for the brake dust generated can be provided on the housing part that covers the disc brake on at least half of the side. Preferably, one or more retention systems are constructed along the circumferential end edges that limit the circumferential wall and the side wall of the housing part. The retention system for brake dust can have at least one sealing element that extends contactlessly to the brake disc.

[0020] According to a preferred improvement, the side walls of the housing part respectively have a central recess that matches the geometry of the rigid axle part that accommodates the housing part and the geometry of the wheel hub that is rotatably supported on the axle part. The recess on the side wall of the housing part that is associated with the rigid axle part can be in direct contact with the axle part. Therefore, the sealing effect is improved, and the retention function of the retention system that is preferably constructed on the housing part is also improved. Similar to the end edge of the side wall that is associated with the brake disc, which is especially straight and adjacent, the recess on the side wall that is associated with the wheel hub that is rotatably supported on the axle part preferably ends with a spacing of several millimeters from the wheel hub. Therefore, a non-contact sealing function can be achieved in the area of ​​the recess of the side wall and the wheel hub that is rotatably supported relative to the side wall. The central recess that is respectively constructed on the side wall of the housing part has a geometry that is approximately semicircular.

[0021] A preferred development of the disc brake provides that the housing part comprises a seal which is in contact with at least a section of the axle part. In particular, the seal which is in direct contact with the section of the stationary axle part is part of a retention system for retaining brake dust on the disc brake according to the invention. The direct contact between these components counteracts uncontrolled escape of brake dust from the housing part during the braking process. For example, the seal can be achieved by means of a targeted surface treatment of the components which do not rotate relative to one another but are in direct contact with one another.

[0022] Another embodiment of the invention provides that the seal between two components that can be placed in contact with each other or between a fixed component and a relatively movable, in particular rotatable component can be realized by means of a sealing element that can be placed in contact with these components. In addition to the sealing function, it is also possible to compensate for possible dimensional tolerances between component parts, for example, between a mounting interface on a housing part and a coupling section to be mounted thereon for fastening an actuating mechanism, by means of such a separate sealing element.

[0023] According to a preferred design of the disc brake, one or more docking elements are provided on the housing part, which are used to completely encapsulate and accommodate the brake disc and can be connected to the housing part. The following docking elements can realize a simple docking of the filter box that can be coupled to the housing part. The docking element can be constructed, for example, as a push-in part or undercut for a corresponding material protrusion extending from the filter box, or can also be constructed as a material recess that forms a hole and cooperates with a fastening element that holds the filter box in position. In addition, a safe connection with the housing part is also achieved by means of the docking element. The filter box is placed in contact with the end edges of the circumferential wall and the side wall on the housing part at about the height of the rotation axis defined by the axle part, and is similar to the housing part composed of at least the brake carrier and the brake caliper in terms of its basic external shape. In particular, when no retention system for brake dust generated during braking is provided on the housing part, a filter box can be used, wherein the filter box is constructed to accommodate filter material.

[0024] In one embodiment, the filter box has a wall section that can be placed in contact with the end edges of the circumferential wall and the side wall, which is used to encapsulate and accommodate a disc brake on a motor vehicle. Preferably, the filter box and / or the housing section are provided with filling and / or exhaust openings, which are used for the circulation of air within the encapsulated housing, in order to dissipate the heat generated during the braking process of the vehicle in a targeted manner from the interior of the encapsulated housing formed by the housing section and the filter box.

[0025] A further aspect of the invention relates to an assembly for a disc brake of a motor vehicle according to one of the preferred embodiments described above, the assembly comprising a brake carrier and a brake caliper.

[0026] The invention achieves the task mentioned at the outset in that the brake carrier and the brake caliper form an integral housing part, which is designed to at least partially enclose a brake disc that cooperates with a brake lining. The design of the assembly consisting of the brake carrier and the brake caliper as an integral housing part according to the invention simplifies the design structure of the brake caliper and the connection of the brake carrier accommodating the brake caliper to the rigid axle part of the motor vehicle. In addition, a smaller number of separation points are constructed between the brake caliper and the brake carrier, thereby reducing the number of connection points and the sealing points generated thereby. The brake caliper and the brake carrier at least form a component unit consisting of individual components rigidly connected to each other. In a preferred design, the housing part consisting of the brake caliper and the brake carrier is constructed as a casting.

[0027] The advantages and preferred embodiments described with respect to the disc brake according to the first aspect of the invention are also advantages and preferred embodiments of the assembly consisting of brake carrier and brake caliper according to the second aspect, and vice versa, so that repeated reference is made to the statements about the disc brake in this respect in order to avoid repetition.

[0028] Furthermore, in a third aspect, the invention relates to a vehicle, in particular a commercial vehicle, having a disc brake according to one of the preferred embodiments described above.

[0029] The advantages and preferred embodiments described with respect to the disc brake according to the first aspect of the invention are at the same time advantages and preferred embodiments of the vehicle according to the third aspect, and vice versa.

[0030] The features of the invention disclosed in the description, the drawings and the claims may be essential for the development of the invention both individually and in any combination, as long as they do not contradict one another from a technical point of view.

[0037] Figure 1 Shown for Figure 7 The vehicle 100 shown in FIG. 1 , in particular a commercial vehicle 102, has a disk brake 1, wherein the disk brake 1 has a plurality of brake elements, as shown in FIG. Figure 4 The brake disc 2 shown in FIG. 1 is supported in a manner that allows rotation about an axis of rotation R defined by an axle part 4 of the vehicle 100. The disc brake 1 also has a brake caliper 6 and two brake pads 8, 8' ( Figure 4 ) and a brake carrier 10.

[0038] In the present embodiment, the brake carrier 10 and the brake caliper 6 form an integral housing part 12, and the brake disc 2 ( Figure 4 ) is at least partially enclosed by means of this housing part. A coupling section 14 is provided on the housing part 12 for fastening an actuating device 16, in particular a brake cylinder 18, for actuating at least one brake pad 8, 8'. The housing part 12 is fastened with an end side 20 to a rigid axle part 4 of the vehicle 100, while a wheel hub 22 rotatably mounted on the axle part 4 extends on the opposite end side 20'.

[0039] from Figures 1 to 3 It can be seen that in the embodiment shown here, the coupling section 14 is also formed in one piece with the housing part 12 formed by the brake caliper 6, the brake carrier 10 and the coupling section 14. In the embodiment shown here, the housing part 12 is designed as a cast part.

[0040] Furthermore, a receiving area 24 is provided on the section of the housing part 12 forming the brake caliper 6, which is used to receive brake pads 8, 8' thereon which can move relative to each other. The brake pad 8 arranged on the side facing the coupling section 14 is movably received within the receiving area 24. The brake pad 8' arranged on the side facing away from the coupling section 14 is arranged in a fixed manner within the receiving area 24.

[0041] The housing part 12, which is formed at least by the brake caliper 6 and the brake carrier 10, has in the receiving area 24 a supporting surface 26 which is associated with a lining carrier (not shown in detail) of the stationary brake lining 8'. Figure 2 As shown, a recess 28 is provided on the side of the housing part 12 facing the coupling section 14 for the actuating mechanism 16, which is used for a kinematic mechanism of the actuating mechanism (not shown in detail) that cooperates with the movably accommodated brake lining 8 and transmits the actuating force generated by the brake cylinder 18 to the movably accommodated brake lining 8 of the disc brake 1.

[0042] In the assembled state, the housing part 12 also has an access opening 30 on its upper side to the receiving area 24, wherein the access opening 30 is provided so that it can be opened through Figure 1 The cover part 32 shown in FIG. 3 is designed in a closed manner. The size of the inlet 30 is selected so that it can replace the brake lining 8, 8' accommodated in the receiving area 24. The cover part 32 has a substantially curved contour that is particularly matched to the circumferential side shape of the housing part 12.

[0043] In addition, if Figures 1 to 3 As also shown, the housing part 12 has a circumferential wall 34 which covers the brake linings 8, 8' and the brake disk 2 at least on the circumferential side, and two side walls 36, 36' which are connected to the circumferential wall 34 on the longitudinal side. Figure 1 To clarify, the circumferential wall 34 and the side walls 36 , 36 ′ extend with their end edges 38 , 38 ′ approximately to the height of the rotation axis R defined by the axle part.

[0044] The end edge 38 on the circumferential wall 34 and the end edge 38 ′ on the side walls 36 , 36 ′ are designed for interaction with a filter box 40 ( Figure 1 ) abut. By means of the filter box 40, the brake disc 2 protruding from the housing 12 is completely enclosed on the circumferential side and on the end side. The filter box 40 is fastened to the housing part 12 by means of a connecting element 42. In one embodiment, the filter box 40 has an inflation and / or deflation opening 44.

[0045] from Figure 2 and Figure 3 It can be seen from the figure that the housing part 12 has a central recess 46 on its side walls 36 and 36'. The side wall 36 forms a sealing part 48 ( Figure 1 ). The side wall 36' also forms a seal (not shown in detail) with the wheel hub 22 rotatably mounted on the axle part 4 by means of its recess 46, wherein the seal between the wheel hub and the side wall is formed in a contactless manner. For this purpose, a minimum amount of play is formed between the side wall 36' and the wheel hub 22.

[0046] Figure 4 A further embodiment of a disc brake 1' according to the invention is shown. With regard to the basic design and functional aspects of the disc brake 1', reference is made to Figures 1 to 3 A disc brake 1 is shown in FIG.

[0047] The brake caliper 6 and the brake carrier 10 are also designed as a one-piece housing part 12' in the form of a cast part, which at least partially encloses the brake disk 2 that interacts with the brake linings 8, 8'. Figures 1 to 3 The housing part 12' is fastened with an end face 20 to a rigid axle part 4 of the vehicle 100, while a wheel hub 22 rotatably mounted on the axle part 4 extends on the opposite end face 20'.

[0048] As in the previous embodiment, the housing part 12' also has a coupling section 14' for fastening an actuating mechanism 16 that can be operatively connected to at least one of the brake pads 8, 8'. Unlike the previous embodiment, the housing part 12' has an assembly interface 50 for reversibly detachably coupling the coupling section 14' to the housing part 12'. Therefore, the coupling section 14' can be reversibly coupled to the housing part 12' via the assembly interface 50 and can be disconnected from it again.

[0049] The assembly interface 50 on the housing part 12' has a flat contact surface 52, which can be in contact with a correspondingly configured contact surface 54 on the coupling section 14'. The connection between the housing part 12 and the coupling section 14 in the area of ​​the assembly interface 50 is achieved by means of corresponding fastening elements 56 (for example screws or similar fastening elements).

[0050] Figures 1 to 6 The coupling sections 14 , 14 ′ shown in the drawings each have an assembly interface 58 for assembling the actuating mechanism 16 to be fastened to the coupling sections 14 , 14 ′.

[0051] Figure 5 and Figure 6 The housing part 12' and the coupling section 14' are shown in a state in which they are disconnected from each other. In addition, a receiving area 24 for receiving brake pads 8, 8' that can move relative to each other is provided on the section of the housing part 12' that forms the brake caliper 6. In addition, the housing part 12' also has an access 30 to the receiving area 24 on its upper side in the assembled state, wherein the access 30 is provided so that it can be opened through Figure 1 The cover portion 32 shown in FIG. 1 is constructed in a closed manner.

[0052] The housing part 12' further comprises a circumferential wall 34 and two side walls 36, 36' connected to the circumferential wall 34 at the longitudinal sides. Figure 4 To make it clear, the circumferential wall 34 and the side walls 36, 36' extend with their end edges 38, 38' approximately up to the height of the rotation axis R defined by the axle part. For further design of the housing part 12', reference is made to the above description of the housing part 12'. Figures 1 to 3 1. The housing portion 12 shown in FIG.
