[0001] The utility model relates to a brake pad, in particular to a safety disc brake pad. Background Art

[0002] Brake pads are the most critical safety component in a vehicle's braking system, and their effectiveness is crucial for the vehicle's braking performance. Brake pads typically consist of a steel backing plate and a friction pad made of friction material. The pad and backing plate are bonded together by an adhesive layer and are typically also provided with a thermal insulation layer. Due to the hard contact between the pad and the brake disc during use, long-term use can lead to significant wear of the pad, reducing braking effectiveness. Furthermore, prolonged, uninterrupted braking can lead to high temperatures in the pad, which can easily cause brake failure. Promptly monitoring wear and temperature conditions can help mitigate potential risks.

[0003] The existing wear condition collection module collects wear conditions in the form of a U-shaped conductive sheet. The U-shaped conductive sheet is fixed inside the friction plate. When the bent part of the U-shaped conductive sheet is worn and broken, it indicates that it has been worn to this position. However, when using this method, even if the U-shaped conductive sheet has been worn and broken, it will still contact and wear with the brake disc during braking, and after contacting the brake disc during braking, it can still form a conductive circuit, which will cause misjudgment. Utility Model Content

[0019] like Figure 1-6As shown, the safety disc brake pad disclosed in the utility model includes: a back plate 1, a friction plate 12 and a sensor module; the sensor module includes a module socket 5, a temperature sensor 20, a closing plate 17 and three wear sensing units; the wear sensing unit includes a V-shaped conductive sheet 15, two stabilizing sliders 24 and two tension springs 26; the friction plate 12 is fixed on the lower side of the back plate 1, and a mounting groove 22 is provided in the middle of the fixed side of the friction plate 12, and a mounting window 7 is provided on the back plate 1 and located at the mounting groove 22; the module socket 5 is inserted into the mounting groove 22 from the mounting window 7, and the closing plate 17 is detachably covered on the mounting window 7; a temperature sensing groove 27 is provided on the side of the module socket 5, the temperature sensor 20 is provided in the temperature sensing groove 27, and the temperature sensing groove 27 is filled with heat conductive Silicone 23; three mounting hole groups are provided on the module socket 5, each mounting hole group includes two cylindrical cavities 25 and a V-shaped flat hole 21, the two ends of the V-shaped flat hole 21 are connected to the bottom of the two cylindrical cavities 25, and the lower end heights of the cylindrical cavities 25 of the three mounting hole groups decrease successively; the two tension springs 26 and the two stabilizing sliders 24 of the wear sensing unit are movably arranged in the two cylindrical cavities 25 of the corresponding mounting hole groups, the V-shaped conductive sheet 15 is installed in the corresponding V-shaped flat hole 21, the stabilizing slider 24 is electrically connected and fixed to the lower end of the corresponding tension spring 26, and the two ends of the V-shaped conductive sheet 15 are electrically connected and fixed to the corresponding stabilizing slider 24; various electrode columns 11 are provided on the top of the module socket 5; the temperature sensor 20 and each tension spring 26 are conductively connected to the corresponding electrode column 11.

[0020] Two tension springs 26 are used to pull the two stabilizing sliders 24, so that after the V-shaped conductive sheet 15 is worn and broken, it is quickly pulled into the cylindrical cavity 25 on the corresponding side, which will not cause too obvious wear damage to the automobile brake disc, and will not contact the brake disc and re-connect to cause misjudgment; the setting of thermal conductive silicone 23 and temperature sensor 20 can realize the temperature measurement of friction plate 12; the stabilizing slider 24 is connected between the V-shaped conductive sheet 15 and the tension spring 26, so as to reduce the shaking of the end of the tension spring 26 in the cylindrical cavity 25, which is more stable and firm than the direct connection between the V-shaped conductive sheet 15 and the tension spring 26; the setting of the lower end height of the cylindrical cavity 25 of the three mounting hole groups decreasing in sequence can realize the three wear levels of the friction plate 12 and ensure the safety of the brake pad.

[0021] Furthermore, a limiting groove 16 is provided on the back plate 1 and located at the installation window 7, a countersunk hole 18 is provided on the closing plate 17, and a threaded hole is provided on the bottom of the limiting groove 16. The closing plate 17 is detachably installed in the limiting groove 16 by the cooperation of bolts, countersunk holes 18 and threaded holes; a storage groove 19 for accommodating each electrode column 11 is provided on the back side of the closing plate 17; and a wire threading elbow 8 is provided on the closing plate 17 to provide safety protection for the electrical connection cables.

[0022] Furthermore, a heat dissipation groove 13 is obliquely provided on the lower side of the friction plate 12, thereby facilitating heat dissipation of the friction plate 12 during braking.

[0023] Furthermore, reinforcement strips 6 are distributed on the underside of the back plate 1 and are embedded in the friction plate 12. The cross-section of the reinforcement strips 6 is S-shaped. The S-shaped reinforcement strips 6 ensure that the friction plate 12 is fully embedded in the friction plate 12 when pressed onto the back plate 1. Furthermore, the compaction density of the friction plate 12 on the curved surfaces on both sides of the reinforcement strips 6 is relatively uniform. Compared to the prior art, where the bending flange is compressed and bent, resulting in a lower compaction density of the friction plate 12 at the obstructed surface, the S-shaped reinforcement strips 6 provide a stronger connection.

[0024] Furthermore, a fixed flange 3 is provided in the middle of the rear edge of the back panel 1, and a U-shaped mounting notch 4 is provided on each fixed flange 3. A limiting bump 2 is provided on each of the left and right edges of the back panel 1.

D represents a conductive loop composed of two electrode columns 11, a V-shaped conductive sheet 15, two stabilizing sliders 24, and two tension springs 26. One end of the conductive loop is grounded, and the other end is connected to the collection point C0. If the V-shaped conductive sheet 15 is not worn off, then the C0 end obtains a voltage value. If the V-shaped conductive sheet 15 is worn off, then the C0 end obtains another voltage value. Based on this, it is possible to determine whether the V-shaped conductive sheet 15 is worn off, and thus determine the wear condition of the friction plate 12.

[0027] As described above, although the present invention has been shown and described with reference to specific preferred embodiments, it should not be interpreted as limiting the present invention itself. Various changes in form and details may be made without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention as defined in the appended claims.
