Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of braking technology, specifically to a bending snap ring. Background Technology

[0002] Brakes are crucial components of braking systems, widely used in automobiles, trains, airplanes, and some power machinery, making them an indispensable key material in transportation vehicles, as shown in the attached diagram. Figure 4 As shown, the brake system includes a brake disc 5, brake pads 6, and conventional retaining rings 7. Each side of the brake pad 6 is connected to the brake disc 5 via two conventional retaining rings 7. There are two brake pads 6, both parallel and spaced apart within the brake disc 5. In a conventional brake system, the two brake pads 6 are pressed together and rub against each other to achieve braking. However, after braking, the conventional retaining rings 7 cannot automatically separate the two brake pads 6. This results in the two brake pads remaining in a state of friction and rolling for a certain period after braking. In practical applications, this increases overall vehicle wear and significantly reduces the lifespan of the brake pads. Utility Model Content

When the brake is applied, the bending structure can move from the initial position to the working position, and the bending structure is in a state of storing return force. After the brake is applied, the bending structure can return from the working position to the initial position under the action of the return force.

[0005] Furthermore, both the snap ring body and the bending structure are made of stainless steel.

[0006] Furthermore, the retaining ring body is also provided with a support structure for supporting the brake pad, and the support structure is located at the bottom of the brake pad.
