Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The utility model belongs to the vehicle technical field, specifically relates to a kind of electric control mechanical brake of eliminating transmission gap. BACKGROUND
[0002] Electronic mechanical brake, abbreviated as EMB (Electro Mechanical Brake), its working principle is as follows: in clamping process, the torque generated by motor is transmitted to ball screw via drive assembly, ball screw converts the rotary motion of motor into linear motion, and then pushes brake pad to brake disc and clamps, so as to prevent wheel rotation, realize the deceleration of vehicle and even parking stop. When brake needs to be released, brake pad returns to initial position to maintain appropriate disc gap between brake disc and brake pad. The size of disc gap cannot be ignored, if the gap is too small, brake pad is prone to contact with brake disc, which causes drag phenomenon, so that vehicle energy is wasted. On the contrary, if disc gap is too large, brake stroke will be extended, which will lead to slow brake response, directly affect brake distance and bring hidden danger to driving safety.

The problem of this mode is that: because there is gap between parts of transmission mechanism, such as gear meshing gap, bearing gap and other transmission parts, the control precision of piston return amount is difficult to guarantee, the gap needs to be eliminated before brake works, so that brake can clamp or release, therefore, actual brake or release will have certain delay, which leads to unable to accurately control the position of brake pad, and the impact sound caused by eliminating gap, and transmission gap may cause parts to shake and collide during vehicle driving, thus producing driving abnormal sound.
[0004] Patent CN218063174U eliminates transmission gap by increasing energy storage mechanism in transmission mechanism, but energy storage mechanism increases the load of motor, which leads to part of kinetic energy of motor being converted into energy of energy storage mechanism, reducing the transmission efficiency of brake.
