Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of automobile brake system components, in particular to a novel semi-enclosed dust-proof and water-blocking brake caliper assembly shield for automobiles. Background Art

[0002] In an automobile's braking system, the brake caliper assembly is one of the key components, responsible for transmitting the braking force to the brake pads, thereby slowing down or stopping the vehicle. However, in actual use, the brake caliper assembly is easily affected by external pollutants such as dust, mud and water, resulting in reduced braking performance and even malfunctions. Traditional shield designs are often unable to effectively prevent the intrusion of these pollutants, and the installation of existing brake caliper assembly shields has limitations. Currently, most brake caliper assembly shields are tightened with only two bolts to reduce costs. However, in more complex road conditions, due to vehicle shaking and other conditions, the brake caliper assembly shield and the brake caliper assembly will collide, resulting in abnormal noise. Therefore, it is particularly important to design a new type of semi-enclosed dust-proof and water-resistant brake caliper assembly shield.

[0003] In order to solve the above technical problems, the present utility model designs a novel semi-enclosed dust-proof and water-blocking brake caliper assembly shield for automobiles. Utility Model Content

[0004] This utility model provides a new semi-enclosed dust-proof and water-blocking brake caliper assembly shield for automobiles, aiming to solve the problem of contaminants intruding into traditional shields. The technical solution is as follows:

[0017] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and examples:

[0018] The following describes embodiments of the present invention in detail. Examples of the embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals throughout represent the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are intended only to explain the present invention and are not to be construed as limiting the present invention.

For example, they may refer to fixed connections, detachable connections, or integral connections; they may refer to direct connections or indirect connections through an intermediary. Those skilled in the art will understand the specific meanings of these terms in this utility model based on the specific circumstances.

[0021] like Figure 2 As shown, a new type of semi-enclosed dust-proof and water-blocking brake caliper assembly shield for automobiles is characterized in that it includes a top plate 1, side plates 2 and a back plate 3, the number of the side plates 2 is 2 and they are fixedly connected to both sides of the top plate 1, at least one water-blocking block 4 is provided on the top plate 1, and a first reinforcing rib 11 and a second reinforcing rib 12 are respectively provided along the length and width directions of the top plate 1, the first reinforcing rib 11 and the second reinforcing rib 12 protrude upward, a top plate mounting hole 161 is provided on the top plate 1, and a back plate mounting hole 31 is provided on the back plate 3.

[0022] The top panel 1, side panels 2, and back panel 3 form a semi-enclosed structure that effectively blocks the ingress of mud, sand, and sewage during driving, keeping the brake system clean and reducing the risk of failures due to external contaminants. This design is particularly suitable for vehicles operating in complex road conditions or harsh environments.

[0023] like Figure 3 As shown, the top plate 1 is arc-shaped. Since the arc-shaped surface helps guide rainwater to flow downward rather than accumulate on the top, such a design can effectively prevent moisture from flowing down from the shield, thereby reducing the possibility of water entering the interior and enhancing the waterproof effect.

[0024] The number of the water blocking blocks 4 is 2. In actual use, the vehicle may encounter water flow impacts from different directions. The two water blocking blocks can cope with multi-directional water flow according to their position and layout, ensuring that different directions are effectively blocked.

[0025] A raised strip 13 is provided on the top plate 1 .

[0026] Water flows from the curved top plate 1 to the raised strip 13, and then flows down through the first reinforcement rib 11 and the second reinforcement rib 12. The curved top plate 1 can guide the water to slide down quickly, preventing moisture from accumulating on the top plate 1. This design reduces the time that water stays on the top of the shield and reduces the risk of moisture penetration. The raised strip 13 serves as an intermediate diversion structure to further control the direction of the water flow and ensure that the water flow can be smoothly guided to the next direction. The raised strip 13 works together with the reinforcement ribs to form a sturdy and effective drainage system, which helps maintain the stability and reliability of the shield during long-term use.

[0027] The upwardly protruding design of the first reinforcing rib 11 and the second reinforcing rib 12 not only enhances the rigidity of the top plate and prevents deformation, but also these structures can help disperse the vibration and pressure generated during the driving of the vehicle, thereby extending the service life of the shield.

[0028] The number of the top plate mounting holes 161 and the number of the back plate mounting holes 31 are both 2. Figure 4 This is a schematic diagram of the brake assembly, with mounting holes on both the top and back. During installation, align the top plate mounting hole 161 with the back of the caliper body, and the back plate mounting hole 31 with the friction pad claws, then secure with bolts. The two mounting holes secure the shroud to the caliper assembly, providing more even force distribution and reducing the risk of wobbling or loosening caused by uneven force at a single point. This is particularly important during driving, especially on bumpy roads, as it effectively prevents collisions between the shroud and the caliper, which can lead to unwanted noise. Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram after installation.

[0029] The shroud is designed to fit the caliper assembly in a three-dimensional manner, ensuring a precise fit. The shroud features mounting holes on the main body, allowing for fast and convenient installation via bolts or clips. Furthermore, the dual mounting holes simplify installation, reducing assembly time and effort.

[0030] An opening 21 is provided on the side plate 2. The opening 21 is a rectangular opening and is used to accommodate a brake disc.

[0031] The top plate 1 is provided with a middle U-shaped hole 14, a first U-shaped hole 151 and a second U-shaped hole 152. The middle U-shaped hole 14 is used to accommodate a bleed screw of the brake caliper assembly 5.

[0032] The provision of two first U-shaped holes 151 and a second U-shaped hole 152 allows the guard to be used with both left and right caliper assemblies. Left and right floating caliper assemblies may have different designs, such as different oil inlet locations, for the left (L) and right (R) calipers. The first U-shaped hole 151 and the second U-shaped hole 152 accommodate the oil inlet holes of the left (L) and right (R) caliper assemblies, respectively. The guard can be used with both left and right caliper assemblies.

[0033] The shield is stamped from a high-strength, wear-resistant, heat-dissipating, and flexible composite material. This material offers excellent resistance to wind and sand impact while being lightweight, minimizing impact on overall vehicle performance. It provides reliable protection in a variety of environments, extending the life of the brake caliper assembly.

[0034] The brake caliper assembly shield is stamped and manufactured to the shape and size of the brake caliper assembly. The concave and convex structure on the back of the caliper assembly can be modified to enhance the shield's strength and waterproof performance. Simply install it on the back of the caliper assembly and tighten it with the corresponding shield connecting bolts. The shield effectively blocks the ingress of mud, sand, and sewage during driving through its semi-enclosed, dust- and water-resistant design, reducing brake failure rates. This reduces the risk of brake system failure or reduced service life of the caliper assembly due to external factors such as mud and sand, enhances drainage, reduces the probability of damage and detachment of the caliper assembly shield, and prevents abnormal noise during driving. Overall, the shield enhances adaptability to harsh environments, meets the needs of multi-faceted protection, and makes it widely applicable.

[0035] The present invention is described above by way of examples, but the present invention is not limited to the above specific embodiments. Any changes or modifications based on the present invention fall within the scope of protection claimed by the present invention.
