AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

In existing pneumatic brake calipers, there is a free gap between the friction block and the brake disc, which causes the friction block to move around, increasing vehicle resistance and noise, and affecting driving stability and customer experience.

Method used

A gap retention device, including a support rod and a retaining spring, is installed in the pneumatic brake caliper. The spring force maintains the gap between the inner and outer friction blocks. The retainer secures the support rod to the brake caliper body, preventing the friction blocks from contacting and colliding with the brake disc.

Benefits of technology

Maintaining a set gap between the friction block and the brake disc reduces frictional resistance, improves driving stability, eliminates collision noise, and enhances the customer experience.
