Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to a disc brake, in particular to a double-acting disc brake driven by a single motor Background Art

[0002] Disc brakes are a widely used braking system in modern vehicles, including automobiles and motorcycles. They use friction between a disc brake rotor and brake pads to slow or stop the vehicle. Compared to drum brakes, disc brakes offer improved heat dissipation, higher braking efficiency, and enhanced handling and safety. However, traditional single-piston disc brakes often compress one side of the brake pad during braking, causing deformation and impacting the braking system's performance and safety. Double-acting disc brakes, on the other hand, prevent pad deformation and provide stronger, more balanced braking performance.

[0003] Patent CN103448853A provides a thin, double-sided disc brake. The double-arm pull rod has left and right arms, with an elastic feel adjustment device between them. A movable push rod is inserted into the middle of the right push rod, and one end of the right push rod has an annular groove for mounting a retaining spring. The neck of the movable push rod has a through hole into which an elastic steel wire is inserted. While this utility model can achieve simultaneous dynamic clamping on both sides, it still uses an indirect method, installing two drive devices on the same side, which makes that side larger and taller, hindering miniaturization and lightweighting.

[0004] Patent CN 212055613U relates to a novel mechanical disc brake device. A drive shaft is positioned within the mounting cavity, with a second gear meshing with a first gear mounted on the drive shaft. The drive shaft also features a positive thread portion and a negative thread portion. The positive thread portion engages with a first threaded hole in a first clamping plate, while the negative thread portion engages with a second threaded hole in a second clamping plate. The first and second threaded holes have the same thread direction. This utility model achieves direct bidirectional braking, but due to the lack of torque-increasing measures and the mechanical nature of the drive mechanism, the required braking force is relatively high, placing higher demands on the strength of the brake cable material.

[0005] Patent CN 103738450A discloses a mechanical double-action disc brake. A drive arm and a drive disc are mounted on the housing. A drive component is connected between the drive arm and the drive disc, converting the arm's rotational motion into axial motion of the drive disc. A first friction plate is mounted on the end face of the drive disc, and a second friction plate is mounted on the housing. The disc is positioned between the first and second friction plates. This invention allows both friction plates to move toward the disc simultaneously, eliminating the need for the disc to deform during braking. However, this invention suffers from wear and tear on the friction plates over time, with their surface gradually becoming thinner. This requires readjusting the distance between the brake pad and the disc or replacing the brake pad, a complex process. Summary of the Invention

[0006] The present invention aims to avoid the above-mentioned deficiencies in the prior art and to provide a disc brake to achieve bidirectional braking, avoid deformation of the brake pads, and provide stronger and more balanced braking performance.

After braking is completed, the torsion spring generates torque, and the rotating transmission shaft completes the reset.

[0011] The double-acting motor disc brake device of the present invention is also characterized in that: in the execution module, the gear is engaged with the threaded rod, and the threads at the left and right ends of the threaded rod have opposite rotation directions; brake pad 1 and brake pad 2 are both designed with two threaded holes, the threaded holes of the two brake pads have opposite rotation directions, and cooperate with the two threaded rods; two bearings are fixedly connected to the smooth rod part of the threaded rod, and the bearings are interference-connected with the bearing holes on the outer shell and indirectly locate the positions of the threaded holes; the brake disc is installed between brake pad 1 and brake pad 2, and the distance between the brake pad and the brake disc can be directly controlled by the motor; the positioning rod is fixedly installed on the transmission shaft, and the torsion spring is sleeved on the transmission shaft, one end of the torsion spring is hung in the positioning hole of the positioning rod, and the other end of the torsion spring is fixed in the positioning hole on the outer shell. After adjusting the position of the torsion spring, the braking action can be reset.

[0012] Compared with the existing technology, the beneficial effects of the present invention are embodied in:

[0013] 1. The present invention uses a motor as a driving element. Compared with traditional mechanical brakes, the braking force required is smaller, the strength requirements of materials such as brake lines are lower, and the output torque is smoother and faster, making the brake device more controllable and safer.

[0014] 2. The present invention uses a double-threaded rod to control the brake pads to move toward each other, achieving bidirectional braking, which can avoid deformation of the brake pads and provide stronger and more balanced braking performance. At the same time, the entire device is more streamlined and more efficient.

[0015] 3. The present invention can directly adjust the initial angle of the motor to change the distance between the brake pad and the brake disc, which is easier to operate and convenient for adjustment after the brake pad is worn. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
