Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to an electronic wedge braking system using a spring-loaded actuator, and particularly to a vehicle corner module device integrating a corner module part, a damping system, an electronic wedge braking system, a wheel unit, and a steering system for an electric vehicle applied to a distributed drive architecture. Background Art

[0002] The traditional automotive braking system consists of a brake pedal, a vacuum booster, a master cylinder, brake lines, a hydraulic control unit, and brakes. However, with the rapid development of automotive intelligence and electrification, the brake-by-wire technology formed by combining the traditional automotive braking system with wire control technology has shown advantages such as higher control accuracy and faster response speed, and has excellent development and application prospects. Currently, brake-by-wire technology is mainly divided into two categories: electronic hydraulic braking and electronic mechanical braking. Among them, the electronic hydraulic braking system replaces the vacuum booster in the traditional braking system with electronic components, realizing the decoupling between the brake pedal and the braking force, but still retains the hydraulic braking circuit, resulting in many and complex system oil pipelines and a risk of oil leakage. At the same time, the braking force is difficult to directly measure, and there are problems of slow response speed and lack of precision in active braking. The electronic mechanical braking system does not require hydraulic oil and completely uses an electromechanical system as the actuator, eliminating many pipelines and sensors in the electronic hydraulic braking system and having a faster response. Among them, the electronic wedge braking system belongs to the category of electronic mechanical braking systems because its actuator is completely composed of an electromechanical system and only uses a wedge block for transmission. The wedge block itself has a transmission ratio in the force transmission, which can reduce the matching pressure between the brake execution motor and the reducer, reduce the space occupied by the system, and make the structure compact, which is beneficial to the layout of the electronic mechanical braking system.

[0003] The intelligent chassis roadmap for passenger electric vehicles released in 2022 stipulates that the intelligent chassis is developing in the direction of actuator distribution and control integration, and coordinated integrated control of drive and braking in the lateral and longitudinal directions will be achieved in 2025. Therefore, the drive system configuration is developing from centralized drive to distributed drive. Currently, the mainstream configuration of distributed drive is to use an in-wheel motor (IWM) + an electronic mechanical braking system (EMB) for integrated design. However, since the electronic mechanical braking system itself also needs to work with a separate brake execution motor and reducer, it results in a large occupation of in-wheel space, compresses the layout space of the in-wheel motor, and at the same time, the sprung mass is too large, resulting in poor driving smoothness and handling stability.

[0004] In summary, there is an urgent need in the current automotive industry for an electronic mechanical braking system that combines high response speed, low sprung mass, and small wheel-side space occupation. Summary of the Invention

One end has a threaded hole, and the other end is respectively provided with a return rubber block positioning groove and a friction lining positioning groove; The brake pull rod slider (3920), the main body part is matched with the outer side of the guide rail of the lower housing (3500) of the electronic wedge braking system. One end has a threaded hole, and the other end is an L-shaped structure. There is a reinforcing rib at the corner and a friction lining positioning groove on the plane; The friction linings (3930) are divided into two pieces in total and are respectively installed in the friction lining positioning grooves of the brake push rod slider (3910) and the brake pull rod slider (3920); The brake push rod wedge block (3940) is installed at one end with a threaded hole of the brake push rod slider (3910) by screws. When executing the braking instruction, the active wedge block (3810) moves downward and contacts the brake push rod wedge block (3940), making it move to the right, thereby driving the brake push rod slider (3910) to move to the right; The brake pull rod wedge block (3950) is installed at one end with a threaded hole of the brake pull rod slider (3920) through a screw. There are return rubber block positioning grooves on both sides of its back. When the brake instruction is executed, the active wedge block (3810) moves downward and contacts the brake pull rod wedge block (3950), causing it to move leftward, thereby driving the brake push rod slider (3910) to move leftward. Cooperating with the simultaneous rightward movement of the brake push rod wedge block (3940) and the brake push rod slider (3910), the friction lining (3930) performs a clamping action to clamp the brake disc of the wheel unit (4000) for braking. The return rubber blocks (3960) are divided into four pieces in total and are respectively installed in the return rubber block positioning grooves on both sides of the brake push rod slider (3910) and the brake pull rod wedge block (3950). When the brake is cancelled, the brake push rod slider (3910) can be moved leftward and the brake pull rod wedge block (3950) can be moved rightward respectively. Cooperating with the upward movement of the active wedge block (3810), the friction lining (3930) is separated from the brake disc of the wheel unit (4000).
