Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of automotive electromagnetic brake housings, and particularly refers to an automotive electromagnetic brake housing. Background Technique

[0002] With the continuous deepening of the electrification and intelligentization of automotive technologies, more and more automobiles have added the configuration of electric door opening. Compared with the traditional manual door opening method, its application scenarios require more intelligence and diversification. In many scenarios, the door needs to be locked at a certain angle in a timely manner. Therefore, a new type of brake has been developed to meet this requirement. As a key component for restricting door opening and closing, this brake is installed at the lower part of the 4 or specified car door glass windows near the door lock as required. The housing, as a braking connection part, is installed between the motor and the door lock.

[0003] As a key component in this brake, the housing needs to bear the torque from the door motor on the one hand, and on the other hand, it needs to be fixed to the door parts through its own key grooves and also bear a certain torque. On the other hand, the part itself, as an electromagnet core, needs to generate sufficient electromagnetic force to brake the friction disc, and at the same time, it cannot generate too much heat leading to potential failure. Since it is a door part, it may be corroded by external rain, moisture, etc., and needs to meet certain salt spray corrosion requirements; finally, as an automotive part, the part needs to be weight-reduced, so there is a need for lightweighting.

[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to develop an automotive electromagnetic brake housing that meets the above requirements. Content of the Utility Model

[0005] The technical problem to be solved by the utility model is to overcome the above-mentioned technical defects and provide an automotive electromagnetic brake housing.

[0006] An automotive electromagnetic brake housing includes a cylindrical body. One end of the outer side of the wall of the body is provided with a flange. Between the outer side of the wall of the body and the flange, there are several fixing keys. Inside the wall of the body near the flange end, several key grooves are evenly distributed. Near the key grooves inside the body, there is a bearing hole. Inside the body, on the side of the bearing hole far from the key grooves, there is an inner hole passing through the body. At the end of the body far from the flange and surrounding the inner hole, there is a coil accommodating chamber. On the wall of the body, there is a wire passing hole communicating with the coil accommodating chamber. The outer side wall of the body and the coil accommodating chamber and the end face far from the flange is a friction surface. Between the coil accommodating chamber and the inner hole and at one end face of the bearing hole is a coil riveting and fixing surface, and the coil riveting and fixing surface is recessed into the coil accommodating chamber. The friction surface and the coil riveting and fixing surface are not in the same plane.

[0007] Furthermore, between the bearing hole and the inner hole, there is a step for avoiding interference with the rotation of the bearing balls.

[0008] Furthermore, the coil accommodating chamber is provided with a crescent-shaped stepped sunk groove for avoiding interference with the coil.

[0009] Furthermore, the number of the fixing keys is 4. Two of the fixing keys are distributed at an angle of 50 degrees with respect to the axis of the body and are symmetric with the other two fixing keys.

[0010] Furthermore, the distance between the friction surface and the coil riveting and fixing surface does not exceed 0.3 mm.

[0011] Advantages of the present utility model: The housing structure of the present utility model is reasonable, capable of bearing high torque and having strong tolerance, capable of generating electromagnetic force as an electromagnet core to brake the friction disc, capable of avoiding potential failure problems caused by overheating. The housing of the present utility model is corrosion-resistant and lightweight, and can meet the performance requirements of automotive parts. Description of the Drawings

Among them, P is added to the iron powder in the form of iron - phosphorus alloy. The Fe powder is easy - to - compress high - purity iron powder. This material is made by powder metallurgy process, and its properties include high strength, corrosion resistance and heat resistance.

[0041] Specifically, it includes the following steps:

[0042] Step 1: Material preparation. The materials include raw materials with the following mass percentages: P, 0 - 0.9%, the balance is Fe, and the remaining impurities are < 1%. Among them, P is added to the iron powder in the form of iron - phosphorus alloy. The Fe powder is easy - to - compress high - purity iron powder;

[0043] Step 2: Powder mixing: According to the component ratio in Step 1, powder mixing treatment is carried out to meet the requirements of powder metallurgy forming and pressing. During the powder mixing process, segregation, agglomeration, explosion, etc. should not occur among the powders;

[0044] Step 3: Forming: It is formed by using a mold and a mechanical forming press of more than 60 tons. The mold structure is two - up and three - down, and special positioning is adopted between the molds to ensure the position accuracy requirements of the product; meanwhile, the density of each part is strictly controlled during the forming process;

[0045] Step 4. Sintering: The product blank formed in Step 3 is placed on a refractory plate for sintering. The temperature in the high-temperature sintering stage is controlled at 1100°-1250° for sintering and forming.

[0046] Step 5. Primary machining: mainly rough machining, machining the product obtained by sintering in Step 4, including rough turning the bearing hole, drilling and deburring, such as bearing hole 5, wire passing hole 8, etc.

[0047] Step 6. Impregnation treatment: The shell blank is sealed with a special sealing agent. During the process, the sample block needs to be detected to ensure the impregnation effect. Before impregnation, pre-sealing treatment such as steam treatment can also be used.

[0048] Step 7. Shot peening treatment: The parts are suspended with specific tooling to remove the residual sealing agent on the surface. The shot peening particles are stainless steel shots with a diameter less than 0.3 mm.

[0054] Adopting the powder metallurgy die forming process, each structure can be formed at one time, including the fixing key 2 fixed to the door component, the flange 3 of the door rubber ring edge, and the rectangular keyway 4 part connected to the motor drive. At the same time, taking advantage of the characteristics of powder metallurgy die forming, multiple punches can be set to completely form the coil accommodation chamber 7 and form the crescent-shaped sinking groove 12 for positioning the coil. Only a small amount of subsequent machining is required, such as precision machining of the bearing hole 5 and friction surface 9 with high precision requirements, and drilling the wire passing hole 8. The whole process of the product is compared with the processing of round steel blanks, including blanking, wire cutting, electrical discharge machining, etc., and the raw material utilization rate is increased to more than 80%. At the same time, the wire passing hole can be formed in the coil accommodation chamber part, and only the outer wall needs to be drilled through, avoiding excessive machining.

What is shown in the drawings is only one of the implementation manners of the present utility model, and the actual structure is not limited thereto. Generally speaking, if those of ordinary skill in the art are inspired by it and without departing from the gist of the creation of the present utility model, design similar structural modes and embodiments to this technical solution without creative efforts, they shall fall within the protection scope of the present utility model.
