[0002] At present, with the development of automotive intelligent technology, the brake cable, as an important component in the automotive parking system, transmits force during the parking process. Therefore, the sealing between the electronic parking actuator and the cable becomes more important. If the sealing is not good and water enters, it will first corrode the internal components. Also, when the temperature is below 0°C, this water will freeze, causing the cable to be unable to be pulled. Poor sealing will also cause the internal grease to volatilize, not only making parking laborious but also causing internal wear and reducing the service life. Therefore, in view of the above problems, an internal and external double-sealing structure of an electronic parking brake assembly is needed. Content of the Utility Model

[0019] An O-ring 11 is fixedly arranged on one side inside the screw sleeve 1. The cooperation of the O-ring 11 and the X-ring 3 can further ensure the sealing effect inside the screw sleeve 1;

[0020] Clamps 12 are arranged on both sides of the surface of the dust-proof cover 6; the two ends of the dust-proof cover 6 are fastened to the grooves of the nut 7 and the screw sleeve 1 by the clamps 12 and move reciprocally with the pull rod 2, serving as the first layer of protection during the movement;

[0021] One end of the pull rod 2 is connected with a cable through a fixed bracket 8 and a nylon joint 9, and the end of the screw rod far from the cable is connected with an EPB actuator.

[0022] The waterproof structure of the electronic parking brake assembly of the present application is composed of a screw sleeve 1, a pull rod 2, an X-ring 3, a guide bushing 4, a dust-proof ring 5 and a snap ring 10. The X-ring 3 is assembled in the groove inside the screw sleeve 1 through corresponding tooling, and the guide bushing 4 is press-fitted into the screw sleeve 1 to guide the pull rod 2. The dust-proof ring 5 is press-fitted and embedded in the annular groove opened inside the screw sleeve 1, and is in close contact with the surface of the pull rod 2, and is combined with the snap ring 10, so as to form a layer of sealing effect with the pull rod 2.

[0023] Its working principle is as follows:

[0024] The electronic parking brake assembly and the waterproof mechanism are arranged on the vehicle bottom chassis. The front cable is fixed by the fixed bracket 8 to ensure that there is no large inclination angle. When the driver activates the electronic parking switch, the actuator EPB starts to perform the tightening or releasing action. The EPB starts to pull the pull rod 2, and the pull rod 2 pulls the cable to transmit the force. The nut 7 ensures that the cable does not break away from the pull rod 2. The pull rod 2 reciprocates inside the screw sleeve 1. The X-ring 3 is squeezed between the outside of the pull rod 2 and the groove of the screw sleeve 1 as the final protection for sealing; the guide bushing 4 ensures that the pull rod 2 can reciprocate inside the screw sleeve 1 while maintaining the required axial position; the dust-proof ring 5 prevents small particle dust from entering when the pull rod 2 reciprocates, and the snap ring 10 protects the position of the dust-proof ring 5. The two ends of the dust-proof cover 6 are fastened to the grooves of the nut 7 and the screw sleeve 1 by the clamps 12 and move reciprocally with the pull rod 2, serving as the first layer of protection during the movement; thus, this device adopts multiple sealing forms from the outside to the inside. Sealing ring structures are added at both ends of the dust-proof cover and fastened by clamps to isolate large particle impurities, the dust-proof ring isolates fine dust and sludge, and the X-ring is compressed for sealing. It has the advantages: multiple protections and reliability.
