Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the field of brake devices, and more particularly, to an electromechanical brake. Background Art

[0002] Electromechanical brakes, which use a motor to drive a caliper, offer advantages over traditional hydraulic brakes, such as faster response, simpler structure, and easier maintenance. As vehicles move toward electrification and intelligent driving, electromechanical brakes are becoming a trend in braking systems due to their easier integration with electric control systems.

[0003] Electromechanical brakes typically consist of a friction plate support and a brake body, which is axially movably suspended from the friction plate support by guide pins. Due to mounting constraints, the guide pins are typically provided with bolt holes for bolting to the brake body. However, since the center of gravity of the brake body is outside the supported friction plate support, the guide pins act like cantilevers, subjecting the bolts attached to them to significant stress. Furthermore, the bolt size is limited by the guide pin's bolt hole.

[0004] On the other hand, the length of the contact section between the guide pin and the channel of the friction plate bracket will change with the movement of the brake body. When the brake body moves away from the supported friction plate bracket, the stress on the guide pin itself will increase. Utility Model Content

[0045] Figure 1 The figure shows an installation diagram of an electromechanical brake, which includes a rotating shaft 91, a shock absorber 92, a bearing 94, a steering knuckle arm 93, a brake disc 95, and a wheel 96. The figure also shows an electromechanical brake 100 according to an embodiment, which is driven by a motor to clamp the brake disc 95 with a brake caliper to provide braking force. During assembly, the electromechanical brake 100 is mounted on the steering knuckle arm 93 and is accommodated in a compact space inside the wheel hub of the wheel 96.

[0046] refer to Figures 2 to 4 , which shows an electromechanical brake. The electromechanical brake mainly includes a friction plate bracket 1 and a brake body 2. The friction plate bracket 1 is mounted to a position near the wheel of the vehicle through a pair of through holes 10, such as fixed to the steering knuckle arm 93, so that the clamping opening 101 of the friction plate bracket 1 is aligned with the brake disc 95. Figure 9 , which shows the specific structure of a friction plate holder 1. It includes a holder body and first and second friction plates 71, 72 axially slidable on the holder body. The first and second friction plates 71, 72 are biased by a plurality of elastic members 89, with the space between them corresponding to the clamp 101. The first and second friction plates 71, 72 are located on axially opposite sides of the brake disc 95 and are actuated by the motor-driven brake body 2 to clamp the brake disc 95, thereby achieving braking. The friction plate holder 1 also includes first and second axially arranged channels 11, 12 on either side of the first and second friction plates 71, 72. The brake body is axially slidably mounted to the friction plate holder 1 via the first and second channels 11, 12.

[0047] More specifically, the brake body 2 includes a first mounting hole 211 and a second mounting hole 212, and the first guide pin 31 and the second guide pin 41 are respectively mounted to the brake body 2 through the first mounting hole 211 and the second mounting hole 212, and the first guide pin 31 and the second guide pin 41 are respectively inserted into the first channel 11 and the second channel 12 of the friction plate bracket. More specifically, the first guide pin 31 and the second guide pin 41 respectively include outer ends 311 and 411 away from the brake body 2 and inner ends 312 and 412 close to the brake body 2. Figures 2 to 4In the illustrated embodiment, the inner ends 312 and 412 of the first and second guide pins 31 and 41 have threaded holes, and the first and second bolts 31 and 42 are respectively passed through the first and second mounting holes 211 and 212 of the brake body 2 and received by the corresponding threaded holes in the inner ends 312 and 412 of the first and second guide pins 31 and 41, thereby mounting the first and second guide pins 31 and 41 to the brake body 2. The first and second guide pins 31 and 41 are axially slidable in the first and second channels 11 and 12, thereby allowing the brake body 2 to slide axially relative to the friction pad carrier 1.

[0048] In some embodiments, the brake body 2 primarily comprises: a housing 21 that at least partially covers the friction plate support 1, a main module 23 connected to the housing 21, and a motor 22 and an electronic control unit 24 connected to the main module 23. First mounting holes 211 and second mounting holes 212 may be located on inner flanges 214 on either side of the inner end of the housing 21. For the specific structure of the brake body 2, reference may be made to Chinese invention patent application publication number CN117267280A, entitled "Electromechanical Brake," which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety.

[0049] For a more concise description, throughout this application, the term "inner" refers to an end of the main module 23 close to the brake body 2 ( Figure 3 The term "outer" refers to the end of the main module 23 away from the brake body 2 ( Figure 3 For example, for the first guide pin 31, the first channel 11, and the cover 21, the inner end is the end closer to the main module 23, and the outer end is the end away from the main module 23. "Both sides" refers to the outer sides of the friction plate, that is, corresponding to Figure 4 The upper and lower sides of the middle friction plates 71, 72. "Axial direction" is used to indicate a direction parallel to the first channel 11 or the guide pin 31.

[0050] refer to Figure 4 To introduce the working mode of the electronic mechanical brake. In operation, the brake body 2 will cause the active end, such as the plunger 25 ( Figure 11 visible) extends to push the first friction plate 71 (corresponding to the brake disc 95) toward the brake disc 95. Figure 4The first friction plate 71 moves to the left). During this process, the brake body 2 does not undergo axial displacement. After the first friction plate 71 contacts the brake disc 95, the first friction plate 71 cannot move further to the left. At this time, the further extension of the plunger 25 will cause the brake body 2 to move to the right as a whole, and the outer end 213 of the cover (for example, in a hook shape) will drive the second friction plate 72 to move to the right until the first friction plate 71 and the second friction plate 72 clamp the brake disc 95 to provide braking. In the above working process, the friction plate bracket 1 is fixedly installed on the vehicle, and the first channel 11 and the second channel 12 therein remain stationary, while the first guide pin 31 and the second guide pin 41 connected to the brake body 2 will move axially (to the right) with the brake body 2. As Figure 3 The figure shows the center of gravity G of the brake body 2, which is located outside the supported friction plate support 1. The brake body 2 is actually suspended from the friction plate support 1 by the first and second guide pins 31 and 41. Therefore, the first and second bolts 32 and 42 are subject to significant stress. Furthermore, the size of the first and second bolts 32 and 42 is limited by the size of the threaded holes at the inner ends of the first and second guide pins 31 and 41. Furthermore, as the brake body 2 shifts rightward, the center of gravity G also shifts rightward, reducing the axial length of the contact sections of the first and second guide pins 31 and 41 with the first and second channels 11 and 12, increasing the stress on the first and second guide pins 31 and 41.

[0051] Continue to refer Figure 5 and Figure 6 , which shows a modified electromechanical brake. In this modification, the first guide pin 31 passes through the first mounting hole 211. In this embodiment, the first guide pin 31 has a first flange 313, the first flange 313 abuts against the outside of the first mounting hole 211, the inner end 312 of the first guide pin 31 passes through the first mounting hole 211, the inner end 312 of the first guide pin 31 has a first external thread 3121, and the first nut 33 is mounted to the first external thread 3121 portion of the first guide pin and abuts against the inside of the first mounting hole 211. By having the first guide pin 31 pass through the first mounting hole 211 and be received by the first nut 33, the size of the bolt used can be adjusted relative to the size of the bolt. Figures 2 to 4 The embodiment shown is larger, thereby better resisting stress. For example, in some embodiments, the bolt size can be increased from M10 to M12. In this embodiment, the inner end of the second guide pin 41 has a second threaded hole. The second guide pin is mounted to the brake body, such as the inner flange 214 at the inner end of the cover 21, by a second bolt 42 that passes through the second mounting hole 212 and is received by the second threaded hole.

[0052] In this embodiment, the first mounting hole 211 and the second mounting hole 212 may be staggered in the axial direction. In this embodiment, the first mounting hole 211 is closer to the inside than the second mounting hole 212, that is, closer to the main module 23 of the brake body 2. When assembling the brake body 2 and the friction plate bracket 1, the first guide pin 31 is fixed to the brake body 2 and inserted into the first channel 11 by engaging its inner end 312 with the first nut 33, and the second guide pin 41 is inserted into the second channel. The brake body 2 is then rotated relative to the friction plate bracket 1 along the axis where the first guide pin is located, so that the cover 21 covers the friction plate bracket 1, and the second bolt 42 is installed when the second mounting hole 212 is aligned with the second threaded hole of the second guide pin 41, thereby completing the assembly. In some embodiments, the first mounting hole 211 has an axial length greater than the second mounting hole 212, thereby providing a larger support area and reducing stress. In addition, in Figure 5 In this embodiment, a sealing sleeve 9 is provided between the guide pin and the corresponding channel to prevent dust, water, or other liquids from entering the channel and affecting sliding. Taking the sealing sleeve for the second channel as an example, the sealing sleeve 9 includes a first connecting portion 91 that penetrates the second channel, a second connecting portion 92 that connects to the inner end of the second guide pin, and a telescoping portion 93 between the first connecting portion 91 and the second connecting portion 92. The provision of telescoping portion 93 allows the sealing sleeve 9 to expand and contract as the guide pin slides. Furthermore, in this embodiment, the outer ends of the first channel 11 and / or the second channel 12 are closed, that is, configured as blind holes.

[0053] Continue to refer Figures 7 to 9 , which shows a modified electronic mechanical brake. The main difference between this embodiment and the previous embodiment is that the outer ends of the first channel 11 and the second channel 12 are open, and the outer ends 311, 411 of the first guide pin 31 and the second guide pin 32 pass through the first channel 11 and the second channel 12, so that when the brake body 2 slides axially relative to the friction plate bracket, the length of the contact section between the first guide pin 31 and the first channel 11, the second guide pin 32 and the second channel 12 remains unchanged, wherein the contact section is the entire length of the first channel 11 and the second channel 12. In other words, when the brake body 2 moves to the right, the outer ends of the first guide pin 31 and the second guide pin 32 will not enter the first channel and the second channel to shorten the contact section. This arrangement maximizes the contact surface between the guide pins and the channels, reducing the stress on the guide pins. In addition, Figure 9 As can be seen, the bracket body of the friction plate bracket 1 includes an outer support portion 151 and an inner support portion 152 separated from the outer support portion 151, and left and right wings 153, 154 connecting the outer support portion 151 and the inner support portion 152 on both sides. The left and right wings 153, 154 respectively define the first channel 11 and the second channel 12.

[0054] In this embodiment, the outer ends 311 and 411 of the first and second guide pins 31 and 41 are mounted into the third and fourth mounting holes 216 and 217 of the brake body. The third and fourth mounting holes 216 and 217 are located, for example, on the outer flange 215 extending from the outer end of the housing 21. An additional sealing sleeve 98 is disposed between the first passage and the third mounting hole, and between the second passage and the fourth mounting hole. Similar to the sealing sleeve 9, the additional sealing sleeve 98 may also have a telescopic portion. In this embodiment, bushings 981 are disposed within the third and fourth mounting holes 216 and 217, and the sealing sleeve 98 is connected between the bushings 981 and the corresponding passage openings. In this embodiment, the outer ends of the first and second guide pins 31 and 41 are configured as cylindrical pins, while the inner ends of the first and second guide pins 31 and 41 are the same as in the previous embodiment. In this embodiment, the friction plate carrier 1 and the brake body 2 are assembled in the same manner as in the previous embodiment, including a rotation step about the first guide pin 31. By supporting the outer ends of the first guide pin 31 and the second guide pin 41 , the support mode of the brake body 2 is changed from suspension to two-point support, further alleviating the stress on the guide pins.

[0055] Continue to refer Figures 10 to 14, which shows a modified electromechanical brake. In this embodiment, the housing 21 includes a first housing portion 201 and a second housing portion 202, which are assembled in an axial direction. For example, the first housing portion 201 and the second housing portion 202 are assembled in an axial direction by a plurality of bolts 203. In some embodiments, the first housing portion 201 defines inner flanges 214 on either side of its inner end. The inner flanges 214 on either side include first mounting holes 211 and second mounting holes 212, respectively. The main module 23 of the brake body is connected to the first housing portion 201, and the plunger 25 of the main module 23 acts on the first friction plate 71. In some embodiments, the second housing portion 202 defines an outer end portion 213 at the outer end of the housing, which acts on the second friction plate 72. The outer flanges 215 on either side of the outer end of the housing are provided with third mounting holes 216 and fourth mounting holes 217, respectively, provided on the outer flanges 215 on either side. After the first and second guide pins are inserted into the first and second channels, respectively, the second housing portion 202 is assembled with the first housing portion 201. The specific assembly method, for example, includes attaching the first and second guide pins 31 and 41 to the first housing portion 201, fitting the first and second channels of the friction plate holder 1 over the first and second guide pins 31 and 41, and finally assembling the second housing portion 202 to the first housing portion 201. This includes inserting the outer ends 311 and 411 of the first and second guide pins 31 and 41 into the third and fourth mounting holes 216 and 217, and installing a plurality of bolts 203. In this embodiment, the first and second guide pins 31 and 41 are installed in the same manner as in the previous embodiment. By dividing the housing into two axially assembled parts, assembly of the electromechanical brake is facilitated. The assembly process no longer involves rotation around the guide pins, and a wider range of guide pin configurations is available.

Correspondingly, the second mounting hole of the inner flange 214 of the cover housing may be provided with an internal thread, so that the second guide pin 41 can be installed by engaging its external thread 4121 with the internal thread of the mounting hole. With this arrangement, the second guide pin 41 is also configured to pass through the second mounting hole, relieving the stress on the second guide pin 41. In some embodiments, the external thread of the second guide pin 41 may also be provided at the outer end 411, and the corresponding fourth mounting hole is then provided with an internal thread.

[0057] Continue to refer Figure 16, which shows a modification of the previously shown electromechanical brake. In this embodiment, the inner end 312 of the first guide pin 31 has a torque-applying portion 3122 and external threads 3121.

The first mounting hole of the inner flange 214 of the housing may be provided with internal threads, allowing the first guide pin 31 to be mounted by engaging its external threads 3121 with the internal threads of the first mounting hole. In some embodiments, the external threads of the first guide pin 31 may also be provided on the outer end 311, in which case the third mounting hole is correspondingly provided with internal threads.

[0060] Continue to refer Figure 19 and Figure 20 , which shows a modified version of an electromechanical brake. In this embodiment, the housing 21 is formed by joining a first housing portion 201 and a second housing portion 202. Furthermore, the outer ends of the first and second channels are closed. The first and second guide pins 31 and 41 have substantially identical structures, respectively having first and second flanges 313 and 413, and external threads at their inner ends. The inner ends of the first and second guide pins 31 and 41, after passing through first and second mounting holes, are received by first and second nuts 33 and 43. Due to the split housing, even if the first and second guide pins 31 and 41 are both passed through their corresponding mounting holes, assembly of the electromechanical brake is not affected.

[0061] Continue to refer Figure 21 and Figure 22 , which shows a modified version of an electromechanical brake.
