Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of automotive caliper technology, specifically to a caliper structure for an automotive brake. Background Technology

[0002] Automotive calipers are a type of clamp device primarily used in disc brake systems. They function to slow down, stop, or maintain a stopped state of the moving wheels. They achieve vehicle braking by applying force to the brake disc.

[0003] The aforementioned device lacks a caliper-assisted rapid heat dissipation structure during use. This means that existing automotive brake calipers rely solely on airflow to dissipate the heat generated during braking. If the vehicle is making continuous turns or descending long slopes and requires repeated braking in a short period, the caliper and internal brake pads are prone to heat fade, leading to a longer braking distance that cannot be recovered quickly, which is quite inconvenient. Based on the shortcomings of existing technology, this utility model designs a caliper structure for automotive brakes. Utility Model Content

[0004] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this utility model provides a caliper structure for automotive brakes, which has the advantage of caliper-assisted rapid heat dissipation.

[0005] This utility model provides the following technical solution: a caliper structure for an automobile brake, including a caliper body, a brake groove is provided inside the caliper body, a mounting bracket is fixedly connected to the inner side of the caliper body, and a heat dissipation mechanism is provided on one side of the mounting bracket to facilitate heat dissipation inside the caliper body.

[0006] The heat dissipation mechanism includes a fixed bracket, a high-brush fan, an air guide shroud, an air guide pipe, a connector, a diffuser shroud, air vents, a fixed side plate, and a fixing bolt. The fixed bracket is fixedly connected to one side of the mounting frame, the high-brush fan is fixedly connected inside the fixed bracket, the air guide shroud is fixedly fitted onto the air outlet of the high-brush fan, one end of the air guide pipe is fixedly connected to the top air outlet of the air guide shroud, the connector is fixedly connected to the other end of the air guide pipe, the diffuser shroud is fixedly connected to the connector, the air vents are opened through the lower surface of the diffuser shroud, the fixed side plates are fixedly connected to both sides of the diffuser shroud, and the fixing bolts are fixed through the upper surface of the fixed side plates.

[0007] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, a first brake piston housing is provided on the outer side of the clamp body, and brake fluid connectors are fixedly connected to both sides of the first brake piston housing. A second brake piston housing is fixedly connected to the inner side of the clamp body.

[0008] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, a first brake pad is provided on the inner side of the brake groove, and a second brake pad is provided on the inner side of the brake groove.

[0009] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, a brake piston rod is provided inside the first brake piston housing, and a brake piston rod is provided inside the second brake piston housing.

[0010] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, one side of the first brake pad is connected to the brake piston rod inside the first brake piston housing, and one side of the second brake pad is connected to the brake piston rod inside the second brake piston housing.

[0012] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the fixing bolt is threaded through the fixing side plate and fixed to the upper surface of the clamp body.

[0013] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0014] This automotive brake caliper structure, when the first and second brake pads clamp the brake disc for braking and rapidly heat up, a high-brush fan, under vehicle control, starts to quickly send air through the air guide and air duct into the diffuser. Because the bottom of the diffuser has air holes, the high-speed airflow, after entering the diffuser, diffuses and exits through the air holes into the brake groove. At this time, a high-speed airflow is generated in the brake groove from top to bottom, passing over the surfaces of the first and second brake pads. Simultaneously, the high-speed airflow also dissipates heat from the brake groove, caliper body, first brake pads, and second brake pads, rapidly reducing their temperature and improving the braking effect for the next braking cycle. This device facilitates heat dissipation from the caliper body, first brake pads, and second brake pads. Attached Figure Description

Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0022] Please see Figure 1-5 A caliper structure for an automotive brake includes a caliper body 1, with a brake groove 2 inside the caliper body 1. A mounting bracket 104 is fixedly connected to the inner side of the caliper body 1. A heat dissipation mechanism 3 is provided on one side of the mounting bracket 104 to facilitate heat dissipation inside the caliper body 1. A first brake piston housing 101 is provided on the outer side of the caliper body 1. Brake fluid connectors 102 are fixedly connected to both sides of the first brake piston housing 101. A second brake piston housing 103 is fixedly connected to the inner side of the caliper body 1. A brake piston rod is provided inside the first brake piston housing 101, and a brake piston rod is provided inside the second brake piston housing 103.

[0023] Please see Figure 4-5 The heat dissipation mechanism 3 includes a fixed bracket 301, a high-brush fan 302, an air guide shroud 303, an air guide duct 304, a connector 305, an air diffuser 306, an air vent 307, a fixed side plate 308, and a fixing bolt 309. The fixed bracket 301 is fixedly connected to one side of the mounting bracket 104. The high-brush fan 302 is fixedly connected inside the fixed bracket 301. The air guide shroud 303 is fixedly fitted onto the air outlet of the high-brush fan 302. One end of the air guide duct 304 is fixedly connected to the air guide shroud 305. The top air outlet of 3 is fixedly connected to the other end of the air guide pipe 304 by connector 305. The air diffuser 306 is fixedly connected to connector 305. The air hole 307 is opened through the lower surface of the air diffuser 306. The fixed side plate 308 is fixedly connected to both sides of the air diffuser 306. The fixing bolt 309 is fixed through the upper surface of the fixed side plate 308. The air diffuser 306 and the air hole 307 are set above the brake groove 2. The fixing bolt 309 is threaded through the fixed side plate 308 and fixed to the upper surface of the clamp body 1.

[0024] By setting up a high-brush fan 302, an air guide shroud 303, an air guide duct 304, and a connector 305, air can be quickly delivered into the diffuser shroud 306. By setting up the diffuser shroud 306 and the air hole 307, the air entering the diffuser shroud 306 can be diffused and discharged from the air hole 307, thus providing heat dissipation for the clamp body 1, the brake groove 2, the first brake pad 201, and the second brake pad 202.

[0025] Please see Figure 1-3 A first brake pad 201 is provided on the inner side of the brake groove 2, and a second brake pad 202 is provided on the inner side of the brake groove 2. One side of the first brake pad 201 is connected to the brake piston rod in the first brake piston housing 101, and one side of the second brake pad 202 is connected to the brake piston rod in the second brake piston housing 103.

[0026] By setting the first brake pad 201 and the second brake pad 202, the vehicle brake disc can be clamped to achieve the braking function. When the first brake pad 201 and the second brake pad 202 are respectively connected to the brake piston column of the first brake piston housing 101 and the second brake piston housing 103, the caliper 1 can perform braking control on the first brake pad 201 and the second brake pad 202.

[0027] Working principle: When a caliper structure of an automobile brake is used, in the initial state, the first brake piston housing 101, which contains the brake piston column, and the brake fluid connector 102 are respectively located on the outer and inner sides of the caliper body 1. The first brake pad 201 and the second brake pad 202 are respectively connected to the first brake piston housing 101 and the brake fluid connector 102 to facilitate braking of the automobile. The air diffuser 306 located above the brake groove 2 at the top of the caliper body 1 has an air hole 307 at its bottom. The two ends of the air diffuser 306 are fixed to the upper surface of the caliper body 1 by fixing side plates 308 and fixing bolts 309. At the same time, the connector 305 is connected to the high brush fan 302 and the air guide 303 through the connector 305 and the air guide pipe 304 to quickly deliver air to the interior of the brake groove 2 for heat dissipation.

[0028] When it is necessary to dissipate heat from the caliper body 1, the first brake pad 201, and the second brake pad 202, after the first brake pad 201 and the second brake pad 202 clamp the brake disc and rapidly heat up during braking, the high-brush fan 302 is started under vehicle control to quickly send air through the air guide shroud 303 and the air guide pipe 304 into the diffuser shroud 306. Since the bottom of the diffuser shroud 306 has an air hole 307, the high-speed airflow enters the diffuser shroud 306 and is diffused before being discharged from the air hole 307 into the interior of the brake groove 2. At this time, a high-speed airflow from top to bottom is generated in the brake groove 2 and passes over the surface of the first brake pad 201 and the second brake pad 202. At the same time, the high-speed airflow also dissipates heat from the brake groove 2, the caliper body 1, the first brake pad 201, and the second brake pad 202, quickly reducing the temperature of the caliper body 1, the first brake pad 201, and the second brake pad 202 and improving the effect of the next braking. This device facilitates the dissipation of heat from the caliper body 1, the first brake pad 201, and the second brake pad 202.

[0029] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
