[0004] In order to overcome the deficiencies of the prior art, the utility model provides a pressure sensor structure applied to an electro-mechanical brake. In order to better adapt to pistons and calipers with different cylinder diameters, the force sensor as an intermediate connection adopts a structure of an elastomer plus an external pressure ring, which can better adapt to assemblies with various cylinder diameters, reduce the specifications of the elastomer, and improve product consistency.

[0005] To achieve the above object, a pressure sensor structure applied to an electro-mechanical brake is designed, including an upper cover, a pressure ring, and an elastomer. It is characterized in that: an upper cover is sleeved on the upper part of the elastomer, and a pressure ring is sleeved on the outer side of the lower part of the upper cover; the inner ring of the pressure ring is a circular ring structure, and the outer edge of the pressure ring is one or a combination of an inclined angle structure, a stepped structure, a right angle structure, and a flat structure.

[0006] The inner ring of the pressure ring is connected and matched with the lower part of the upper cover, the bottom of the pressure ring is connected and matched with the elastomer, and the outer side of the pressure ring is connected and matched with the caliper.

[0007] A rotation prevention structure is provided on one side of the top of the upper cover.

[0008] A circuit is provided inside the upper cover.

[0009] The elastomer is a sensitive element bonding part, and the elastomer is an elastic extrusion deformation structure.

[0010] Compared with the prior art, the utility model provides a pressure sensor structure applied to an electro-mechanical brake. In order to better adapt to pistons and calipers with different cylinder diameters, the force sensor as an intermediate connection adopts a structure of an elastomer plus an external pressure ring, which can better adapt to assemblies with various cylinder diameters, reduce the specifications of the elastomer, and improve product consistency.

[0017] The following further describes the present invention with reference to the drawings.

[0018] As Figures 1 to 6 shown, an upper cover 1 is sleeved on the upper part of the elastomer 3, and a pressure ring 2 is sleeved on the outer side of the lower part of the upper cover 1; the inner ring of the pressure ring 2 is a circular ring structure, and the outer edge of the pressure ring 2 is one or a combination of an inclined angle structure, a step structure, a right angle structure, and a flat structure.

[0021] A circuit is provided inside the upper cover 1.

[0022] The elastomer 3 is a sensitive element bonding part, and the elastomer 3 is an elastic extrusion deformation structure.

[0023] Based on calipers and ball screw systems with different cylinder diameters from D51 - D36, an arc ring surface is added to the connection structure between the pressure ring 2 and the elastomer 3, which can, to a certain extent, eliminate the problem of large load off-axis. The structure of the pressure ring 2 in cooperation with the caliper can be adjusted arbitrarily to a certain extent according to different caliper cylinder diameters in terms of diameter and mating surface area.

It can add a stepped installation flexible structure or increase the chamfer to adjust the mating surface area, giving full play to flexibility and freedom.
