Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of brake pad technology, specifically to a brake pad with a cooling function. Background Technology

[0002] Brake pads typically consist of a steel plate, an adhesive heat-insulating layer, and friction blocks. The heat-insulating layer is made of a non-heat-conducting material and its purpose is heat insulation; the friction blocks consist of friction materials and an adhesive. Brake pads work by slowing down or stopping the vehicle through friction with the brake disc or brake drum. The friction between the brake pads and the brake disc converts the kinetic energy of the wheel into heat energy, thereby slowing the vehicle until it comes to a stop.

[0003] When brake pads are in use, the friction material on the surface of the brake pads comes into contact with the car tire disc, causing the brake pads to generate a lot of heat. If this heat is not dissipated in time, it can easily damage the brake pads and affect the normal braking of the car. When cooling down, the existing technology sprays water on the surface of the friction pads to cool them down, but the heat generated by the friction pads is transferred to the inside of the brake pads, making the inside of the brake pads prone to damage.

A water tank 312 is fixedly connected to the outer side of the water pump 313. The heat-conducting strip 301 has a hollow structure. A branch pipe is fixedly connected between the delivery pipe 307 and the liquid-holding cavity 321. 314. During heat dissipation, the control solenoid valve 308 is opened and the water pump 313 is started, causing water to be drawn out of the water tank 312 and enter the branch pipe 314 through the delivery pipe 307. Water is then sprayed onto the friction plate 2 through the liquid-holding chamber 321 and multiple nozzles 323 through multiple top pipes 322, cooling the surface of the friction plate 2. At the same time, water enters the heat-conducting strip 301 through the water inlet pipe 305 and flows through multiple arc-shaped pipes 302 and 303, transferring the heat generated by the friction plate 2 to the heat-conducting strip 301. The heat is exchanged through the flowing water and discharged through the water outlet pipe 306, facilitating initial heat dissipation of the interior.

When cooling is required, the solenoid valve 320 and the air pump 318 are activated, allowing airflow to enter the arc-shaped pipe 311 through the air inlet pipe 319. The airflow is then sprayed out through multiple nozzles 324 onto the inner side of the brake pad body 1, allowing the heat in the heat conduction plate 304 to be discharged through the air inlets 309 on both sides, facilitating further cooling. When the vehicle is in motion, the airflow flows through the air inlets 309 on both sides, facilitating cooling and enhancing the cooling effect.

At the same time, the water flows through the multiple heat-conducting strips 301 through the branch pipe 314, so that the heat transferred by the heat-conducting strips 301 is exchanged, and the water is discharged through the outlet pipe 306. Simultaneously, the air pump 318 and the solenoid valve 320 are started, so that the nozzle 324 on the arc-shaped pipe 311 can spray airflow to dissipate the heat on the heat-conducting plate 304, thereby improving the heat dissipation effect of the brake pad body 1.
