Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to a vehicle brake, in particular to a technology for manually releasing a brake clamping state under a fault state. Background Art

[0002] Many existing automotive electronic mechanical brake actuators use motors as power, and use a reducer to reduce the speed of the motor and increase the torque. The rotational motion output by the reducer is then converted into linear motion (parking mechanism) through a power conversion component, and finally two brake pads are driven to clamp the brake disc to achieve vehicle braking.

[0003] In order to cooperate with the electrification, intelligence and lightweight of automobiles, the current wheel-side mechanical brake actuators are also developing towards highly integrated and lightweight. At present, the motor, reduction mechanism and actuator are generally integrated to greatly reduce their volume and space. In particular, in order to reduce the structure as much as possible and improve the integration, most of the gears are meshed and arranged compactly. Therefore, when a mechanical brake fails after clamping, there is a problem of how to quickly and non-destructively disassemble the brake, especially when the mechanism has torque-increasing force, and easy disassembly becomes a problem.

[0012] Preferably, there is a sealing ring between the connection of the mounting seat and the housing;

[0013] The center of the manual adjustment gear and the manual adjustment gear fixed shaft are press-fitted with interference.

[0014] Preferably, the diameter of the secondary gear is 2 times or more than 2 times the diameter of the manual adjustment gear.

[0015] Preferably, it further includes an idler gear, and the idler gear is respectively connected to the primary gear and the secondary gear.

[0016] The present utility model also provides a manual adjustment mechanism for an electromechanical brake, which includes a manual adjustment gear fixed shaft and a manual adjustment gear. The manual adjustment gear is fixedly arranged on the manual adjustment gear fixed shaft. The manual adjustment gear meshes with a secondary gear, and the secondary gear is connected to a primary gear. The primary gear is used to provide power to the parking mechanism;

[0022] The beneficial effects of the present utility model are as follows: With the help of this device, rapid disassembly can be achieved in the clamped state of the mechanism. By driving the gears of this device to form a reverse movement, it drives the parking mechanism to move, achieving the action of releasing the braking and clamping of the braking mechanism.

It should be noted that the force applied to the manual adjustment gear fixed shaft should be opposite to the force output by the primary gear during braking.

[0024] The parking mechanism belongs to the prior art, that is, by receiving power from the motor and the gear set, the rotational power is converted into a linear thrust, and the braking effect is formed through the linear thrust. This technology belongs to the prior art and will not be elaborated here. For example, the parking mechanism adopts the braking structure composed of a driving unit, an elastic member, and a transmission unit in Chinese Patent Application No. 2024104032880, and its power is also the axial movement formed by the motor driving the gear. When this braking structure fails, the present application realizes the brake release through the reverse driving operation of the driving gear. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE EMBODIMENTS

[0032] The planetary gear assembly 10 receives the power of the motor;

[0033] The parking mechanism 20 is connected to the planetary gear assembly 10;

[0034] The manual adjustment mechanism 30 has a manually adjustable gear fixed shaft 31 and a manually adjustable gear 32, and the manually adjustable gear 32 is fixedly arranged on the manually adjustable gear fixed shaft 31; the brake actuator further includes a first-stage gear (11) and a second-stage gear (33), the manually adjustable gear 32 meshes with the second-stage gear 33, the second-stage gear 33 is connected to the first-stage gear 11, and the first-stage gear 11 is connected to the planetary gear assembly 10;

[0035] Among them, the slip torque between the manually adjustable gear fixed shaft 31 and the manually adjustable gear 32 is T1; the release torque of the parking mechanism 20 is T2; the transmission ratio between the manually adjustable gear 32 and the parking mechanism 20 is N1, and the breaking torque of the manually adjustable gear 32 is T3; and T2 < T1×N1 < T3 is satisfied.

[0036] In specific applications, when it is necessary to manually release the brake of the parking mechanism, power is manually applied to the manually adjustable gear fixed shaft 31, the manually adjustable gear 32 rotates, and then the movement is carried out through the second-stage gear 33 and the first-stage gear 11, that is, force transmission is generated on the second-stage gear 33 and the first-stage gear 11 in sequence, and the parking mechanism 20 is successively driven to work, thereby releasing the brake. It should be noted that the force applied to the manually adjustable gear fixed shaft 31 should be opposite to the force output during braking.

[0038] In addition, during braking, the power output by the motor is transmitted to the planetary gear assembly 10, and then successively passes through the first-stage gear 11 and the second-stage gear 33 to achieve braking through the second-stage gear 33. During braking, the rotation of the second-stage gear 33 will drive the manually adjustable gear 32 to rotate idly, that is, the manually adjustable gear 32 rotates under the drive of the second-stage gear 33, but this rotation is an idle rotation and will not generate force transmission to the second-stage gear 33. The direction of the passive idle rotation of the manually adjustable gear 32 during braking is opposite to the rotation direction of the manually adjustable gear 32 under the action of the manually adjustable gear fixed shaft 31 when releasing the brake of the parking mechanism.
