[0002] Traditional fixed brakes generally use hydraulics for driving braking. They have the advantages of reliable braking, neat appearance, and small overall size, and are generally applied to high-end vehicles. With the popularization of electrification, it is an inevitable trend for vehicles to adopt electronic control. In the field of parking braking, there have been many technological breakthroughs and attempts in electronic braking. For example, the applicant's prior patent CN214325076U applied for an electronic parking brake control system for motor vehicles. However, this kind of parking brake and the fixed brake belong to two sets of solutions and cannot be replaced and translated. There is also no electronic drive method for fixed brakes in the existing technical solutions.

[0003] There is no existing technology related to the structure of the body of an electronic fixed caliper. Therefore, designing a structure that can meet the requirements of an electronic fixed caliper is a technical problem that urgently needs to be solved. Summary of the Invention

Detailed Embodiments

[0019] The present invention will be further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0020] Embodiment 1

[0021] A dry fixed brake caliper body includes a brake port 1 at the middle position. The caliper body part above the brake port 1 is the upper caliper 2, and the caliper body part below the brake port 1 is the lower caliper 3. A first chamber 4 extending downward is provided on the upper end surface of the upper caliper 2, and a top cover 5 is fixedly covered outside the first chamber 4. A second chamber 6 extending upward is provided on the lower end surface of the upper caliper 2. The first chamber 4 and the second chamber 6 are communicated. It also includes a guide chamber 7, and the guide chamber 7 is communicated with the first chamber. The depth directions of the first chamber 4 and the second chamber 6 are both in the axial direction, and the guide chamber 7 is axially arranged. By arranging an installation chamber on the outside and an installation chamber on the inside, the caliper body provides the possibility for the installation of the motor and the transmission mechanism, eliminating the need for a split design of the caliper. Moreover, the caliper body is more convenient to form. The entire chamber is designed in the axial direction, so the design of the tooling fixture is also more convenient. At the same time, the traditional output structure is designed on both sides, saving the overall longitudinal space completely, and the accuracy is easier to control, enabling a larger braking torque to be output.

[0022] The first chamber 4 includes a reduction chamber 8 for installing a reduction mechanism at the middle position and transmission chambers 9 on both sides of the reduction chamber 8. The transmission chambers 9 and the guide chamber 7 are coaxially arranged and communicated with each other. A first hole 10 is provided at the bottom of the reduction chamber 8, and the first hole 10 is communicated with the second chamber 6. The second chamber 6 is used to install a drive motor 18. The overall layout is symmetric. The reduction chamber 8 in the middle is coaxially arranged with the second chamber 6. The axes of the two transmission chambers 9 are parallel to the axis of the reduction chamber 8, and at the same time, the axes of the two transmission chambers 9 are coplanar with the axis of the reduction chamber 8.

[0023] An installation groove 11 is provided on the bottom surface of the reduction chamber 8. The cross-sectional shape of the installation groove 11 is non-circular. The installation groove 11 is used to install the mounting frame 12 of the reduction mechanism, and the first hole 10 is located on the bottom surface of the installation groove 11. The mounting frame 12 can be directly installed in the installation groove 11. Since the installation groove 11 is non-circular, it will not shift in position, making the assembly more convenient. Specifically, in this embodiment, the number of planetary gears is three, so the shape of the installation groove 11 is "human" shaped.

[0024] In this embodiment, the transmission chamber 9 includes a bearing installation groove one 13 provided, and a bearing installation groove two 14 is provided on the inner side surface of the top cover 5. The bearing installation groove one 13 and the bearing installation groove two 14 form a complete bearing groove.

[0025] In this embodiment, a guiding groove 15 for guiding the driving shaft is provided on the bottom surface of the bearing installation groove two 14 of the top cover 5. The guiding groove 15, the transmission cavity 9 and the guiding cavity 7 are coaxially arranged. Since the driving shaft moves at a high speed during the process of driving the brake block to move and return, in order to ensure smooth braking, the motion state of the driving shaft has high requirements. In this solution, the driving shaft adopts a structure with guiding both above and below, so as to ensure the motion state of the driving shaft

[0026] In this embodiment, a fixing seat 16 is provided on the upper caliper 2 near the jaw side, and a wiring port 17 is installed on the side surface of the jaw side of the upper caliper 2. The caliper is fixed to the vehicle body through the fixing seat 16

[0027] In this embodiment, the lower caliper 3 and the upper caliper 2 are of an integrally formed structure, and the structure of the lower caliper 3 is the same as that of the upper caliper 2. That is, both the upper caliper 2 and the lower caliper 3 can achieve the braking function

[0028] Embodiment 2

[0029] This embodiment further limits on the basis of Embodiment 1, and the caliper is integrally cast and formed

[0030] Embodiment 3

[0031] A brake caliper, adopting the above-mentioned dry fixed type brake caliper body, further includes a driving motor 18, a planetary reduction mechanism 19 and an output mechanism 20. The driving motor 18 is installed in the second chamber 6 and the output shaft 22 is connected to the planetary reduction mechanism 19 in the first chamber 4. The planetary reduction mechanism 19 includes a first gear connected to the driving motor 18 in the middle, and includes second gears meshing around the first gear. The number of the second gears is three, and they are all installed on the mounting bracket 12. The output unit of the planetary reduction mechanism 19 is a toothed ring 21. Transmission teeth are provided on both the inner ring and the outer ring of the toothed ring 21, and the second gears are all meshed with the inner ring of the toothed ring 21. The output mechanism 20 is an output gear meshed with the toothed ring 21 and an output shaft 22 threadedly matched with the output gear coaxially. The output gear is meshed with the outer ring of the toothed ring 21, and the rotation of the toothed ring 21 drives the output gear to rotate

[0032] The lower end of the output shaft 22 is inserted into the guiding cavity 7. A guiding sleeve 23 is arranged in the guiding cavity 7. The guiding sleeve 23 is slidably connected with the output shaft 22. The rotation of the toothed ring 21 drives the output gear to rotate, and the rotation of the output gear drives the output shaft 22 to move axially

[0033] Compared with the prior art, this solution has the following beneficial effects: This solution creatively adopts the scheme of opening holes above and below and guiding on both sides, so that the overall size is basically the same as that of the fixed caliper in the axial direction, and the appearance cleanliness is high. All transmission components can be hidden in the cavity, providing a basis and possibility for the electrification development of the fixed caliper
