[0027] In the description of the present invention, unless otherwise clearly defined, terms such as setting, installing, and connecting should be understood in a broad sense, and technicians in the relevant technical field can reasonably determine the specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention based on the specific content of the technical solution.

[0028] Reference Figures 1 to 3The brake disc of the embodiment of the first aspect of the present invention includes: a base 110, which is provided with multiple blocks. The multiple bases 110 are connected in sequence along the circumferential direction to form a disc body, and an avoidance hole 115 is provided in the middle of the disc body. A first flow channel 121 is opened in the base 110, and the first flow channel 121 runs through from the inside to the outside. The side walls on both sides of the first flow channel 121 are provided with multiple recesses, and the multiple recesses are staggered along both sides of the first flow channel 121. The openings of the recesses are inclined outward, and a guide block 123 is provided in the recess. The side walls of the recess cooperate with the guide block 123 to form a second flow channel 122, and both ends of the second flow channel 122 are connected to the first flow channel 121.

[0029] The second flow channel 122 cooperates with the first flow channel 121 to form a Tesla one-way channel, ensuring that air flows in a directional manner within the brake disc, preventing other reverse flows and improving heat dissipation efficiency. In addition, multiple substrates 110 are spliced ​​together to form the disc body. The substrates 110 are connected to each other, which can not only disperse the stress generated by the braking force, but also avoid cracking due to local overheating. During high-speed rotation, the substrates 110 can move relative to each other, absorbing or alleviating thermal stress and vibration. In addition, when the friction surface of the substrate 110 is worn or severely thermally fatigued, there is no need to replace the entire brake disc. The damaged substrate 110 can be quickly removed and replaced to complete the repair and maintenance of the brake disc, reducing maintenance costs and improving efficiency.

[0030] It is understandable that, referring to Figure 1 The base 110 is provided with a mounting hole 111 for accommodating a bolt, and a receiving hole 112 is provided at one end of the mounting hole 111. The receiving hole 112 is coaxially arranged with the mounting hole 111, and the diameter of the receiving hole 112 is larger than that of the mounting hole 111. At least two plug-in portions 113 are formed on both sides of the disk body along the circumferential protrusion, and two adjacent plug-in portions 113 cooperate to form a plug-in groove 114. The plug-in groove 114 is arranged along the circumferential direction, and the plug-in groove 114 matches the plug-in portion 113, and the plug-in portion 113 and the plug-in groove 114 are plugged in and matched. By plugging and matching the plug-in portion 113 with the plug-in groove 114, multiple bases 110 are assembled together, which is convenient and quick, and improves installation efficiency. The base 110 can slide relatively along the plug-in groove 114, dispersing the stress generated by the braking force and reducing the risk of cracking. The disc body is connected to the wheel by means of bolts passing through the mounting holes 111 and being threadedly connected to the wheel, and the bolts are embedded in the base 110 through the receiving holes 112 to avoid interference during braking.

[0031] Reference Figure 4 and Figure 5 The braking device of the second embodiment of the present invention includes a clamp 200, a thermoelectric conversion module and a brake disc of the first embodiment of the present invention, the clamp 200 is used to clamp the brake disc, and the thermoelectric conversion module is electrically connected to the brake disc.

[0032] The second flow channel 122 cooperates with the first flow channel 121 to form a Tesla one-way channel, ensuring that air flows in a directional manner within the brake disc, preventing other reverse flows and improving heat dissipation efficiency. In addition, multiple substrates 110 are spliced ​​together to form the disc body. The substrates 110 are connected to each other, which can not only disperse the stress generated by the braking force, but also avoid cracking due to local overheating. During high-speed rotation, the substrates 110 can move relative to each other, absorbing or alleviating thermal stress and vibration. In addition, when the friction surface of the substrate 110 is worn or severely thermally fatigued, there is no need to replace the entire brake disc. The damaged substrate 110 can be quickly removed and replaced to complete the repair and maintenance of the brake disc, reducing maintenance costs and improving efficiency.

[0033] It is understandable that, referring to Figure 2 and Figure 4 The thermoelectric conversion module includes a thermoelectric element 130 and a current collector 140. The current collector 140 is disposed in the avoidance hole 115 and rotates synchronously with the disc body. The thermoelectric element 130 is disposed in the first flow channel 121 and is electrically connected to the current collector 140. During braking, the heat generated by the friction of the brake disc is transferred to the thermoelectric element 130. The thermoelectric element 130 is made of high-temperature resistant thermoelectric material. The thermoelectric element 130 generates current when heated. There are multiple thermoelectric elements 130, and multiple thermoelectric elements 130 are connected in parallel with the current collector 140. The current generated by the thermoelectric elements 130 is converged on the current collector 140, and the electrical energy is transmitted to the power supply system of the train through the current collector 140, realizing waste heat recovery and saving energy.

[0034] It is understood that a thermally conductive insulating pad (not shown in the drawings) is disposed between the thermoelectric element 130 and the inner wall of the first flow channel 121. The thermally conductive insulating pad contacts the inner wall of the first flow channel 121 and the thermoelectric element 130, respectively. The thermally conductive insulating pad is disposed between the thermoelectric element 130 and the interior of the first flow channel 121 to reduce vibration and impact to the thermoelectric element 130 during braking, protecting the thermoelectric element 130 and extending its service life.

[0035] As can be understood, thermoelectric element 130 includes a high-temperature end and a low-temperature end. The high-temperature end contacts the thermally conductive insulating pad, while the low-temperature end contacts the air. The brake disc's heat is transferred to the high-temperature end, where it generates a voltage difference with the low-temperature end, generating an electric current and recovering waste heat.

[0036] Reference Figure 5The train of the third embodiment of the present invention includes the braking device of the second embodiment of the present invention. The second flow channel 122 cooperates with the first flow channel 121 to form a Tesla one-way channel, ensuring that the air flows in a directional channel in the brake disc, preventing other reverse flows, and improving the heat dissipation efficiency. In addition, a plurality of substrates 110 are spliced ​​to form a disc body, and the substrates 110 are connected to each other, which can not only disperse the stress generated by the braking force, but also avoid cracking caused by local overheating. When rotating at high speed, relative movement can occur between the substrates 110 to absorb or alleviate thermal stress and vibration. In addition, when the friction surface of the substrate 110 is worn or thermal fatigue is severe, there is no need to replace the entire brake disc as a whole. The damaged substrate 110 can be quickly removed to complete the repair and maintenance of the brake disc, thereby reducing maintenance costs and improving efficiency.

[0037] The embodiments of the present invention are described in detail above with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments. Various changes can be made within the knowledge of ordinary technicians in the relevant technical field without departing from the scope of the present invention.
