Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of brake caliper technology, and in particular to a linear braking brake caliper. Background Technology

[0002] A brake is a device that slows down, stops, or keeps a moving part or machine in a stopped state. It is a mechanical part that stops or slows down moving parts in a machine. The brake caliper assembly is used to clamp the brake disc when a car is braking, thereby achieving braking. Currently, the brake caliper assembly on a car consists of a caliper body, a caliper bracket, an inner friction pad, and an outer friction pad. The caliper body contains a wheel cylinder, which is adjacent to the inner friction pad. The edge of the brake disc is inserted into the jaws formed between the inner and outer friction pads. When the car brakes, the pressurized fluid pushes the wheel cylinder to move, and then the wheel cylinder pushes the inner friction pad to move towards the outer friction pad, reducing the size of the jaws, thereby clamping the brake disc and achieving braking.

[0003] Existing friction pads require multiple bolts to be fixed when installed with calipers. Due to the need to maintain a certain distance between the brake pads and the brake disc, the numerous connection structures at this point make the installation and removal of brake pads and brackets difficult. This leaves little operating space for workers, making it impossible to quickly install and remove the friction pads, and thus making them inconvenient to use.

[0004] Therefore, there is an urgent need to provide a linear braking brake caliper to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0005] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art and provide a linear braking brake caliper.

[0006] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the present invention provides a linear brake caliper, including a brake disc, a brake caliper body externally frictionally connected to the brake disc, oil inlet pipes fixedly installed on both sides of the brake caliper body, an oil pipe connector fixedly installed at one end of each of the two oil inlet pipes, a brake mechanism provided inside the brake caliper body, a connecting mechanism provided inside the brake mechanism, and a fixing mechanism provided inside the brake mechanism.

[0008] Through the above technical solution, hydraulic oil flows into the caliper through the oil inlet pipe. The hydraulic pressure acts on the piston, causing it to move outward and push the friction plates to clamp the rotating brake disc, generating friction.

[0009] The present invention is further configured such that: heat dissipation holes are provided inside the friction plate, and mounting holes are provided inside both the mounting plate and the friction plate.

[0010] Through the above technical solution, the friction pads can quickly transfer heat to the air during braking through heat dissipation holes, avoiding performance degradation or damage to the friction pads due to high temperature.

[0011] The present invention is further configured such that: the connecting mechanism includes a connecting rod fitted inside the mounting hole, one end of the connecting rod is fixedly fitted with an anti-detachment head, the outer surface of the anti-detachment head is fitted into the interior of the mounting hole, and the other end of the connecting rod is fixedly fitted with a limiting head.

[0012] Through the above technical solution, the connecting rod is connected to the mounting plate and friction plate through the anti-detachment head. A block diagram is set on one side of the limiting head to facilitate the user to quickly determine the position of the connecting rod through the block diagram.

[0013] The present invention is further configured such that: the fixing mechanism includes a U-shaped fixing shell fitted and installed on the outer surface of the limiting head, the outer surface of the U-shaped fixing shell is fitted and installed in the interior of the friction plate, and the interior of the friction plate is provided with a disassembly hole.

[0014] Through the above technical solution, the U-shaped fixing shell fixes the angle and position of the limiting head by friction plates.

[0015] The present invention is further configured such that: both sides of the inner cavity of the U-shaped fixed shell are fixedly installed with columnar springs, and the other ends of the two columnar springs are fixedly installed with spring insert rods, and the outer surface of the spring insert rods is fitted into the inner wall of the disassembly hole.

[0016] Using the above technical solution, the cylindrical spring drives the spring insert rod to be inserted into the disassembly hole to fix the U-shaped fixing shell and friction plate.

[0017] The present invention is further configured such that: a synchronous rack is fixedly installed on one side of each of the two spring rods, and one side of each of the two synchronous racks is slidably connected to both sides of the inner cavity of the U-shaped fixed shell; a synchronous gear is rotatably installed on the inner wall of the U-shaped fixed shell, and the outer surface of the synchronous gear meshes with one side of each of the two synchronous racks.

[0018] Through the above technical solution, the two spring rods extend and retract synchronously inside the U-shaped fixed shell through the cooperation of synchronous rack and synchronous gear.

[0019] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0020] 1. This utility model, by providing a connecting mechanism and a fixing mechanism, allows for the rapid disassembly and assembly of the friction pads of the brake caliper. This not only improves work efficiency but also enables quick replacement of the friction pads in emergency situations, ensuring driving safety. At the same time, the redesigned bracket and caliper structure increases the operating space and improves maintenance convenience.

[0021] 2. This utility model has a braking mechanism in which hydraulic oil flows into the caliper through the oil inlet pipe. The hydraulic pressure acts on the piston, causing it to move outward and push the friction pads to clamp the rotating brake disc, generating friction force, thereby slowing down or stopping the vehicle, thus meeting the requirements of vehicle braking performance and safety.

[0028] The preferred embodiments of the present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings, so that the advantages and features of the present invention can be more easily understood by those skilled in the art, thereby making a clearer and more definite definition of the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0029] Please see Figures 1-5A linear brake caliper includes a brake disc 1, a brake caliper body 2 externally frictionally connected to the brake disc 1, oil inlet pipes 3 fixedly installed on both sides of the brake caliper body 2, and oil pipe connectors 4 fixedly installed at one end of each of the two oil inlet pipes 3. A brake mechanism 5 is provided inside the brake caliper body 2, including a piston 501 sealed and installed inside the brake caliper body 2. A mounting plate 502 is fixedly installed at one end of the piston 501, and a friction pad 503 is tightly fitted to one side of the mounting plate 502. A heat dissipation hole 504 is provided inside the friction pad 503, and mounting holes 505 are provided inside both the mounting plate 502 and the friction pad 503. Hydraulic oil flows into the caliper through the oil inlet pipes 3, and the hydraulic pressure acts on the pistons 501, causing them to move outward and push the friction pad 503 to clamp the rotating brake disc 1, generating friction. The friction pad 503 can quickly transfer heat to the air during braking through the heat dissipation holes 504, preventing performance degradation or damage to the friction pad 503 due to high temperature.

[0030] like Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the brake mechanism 5 has a connecting mechanism 6 inside. The connecting mechanism 6 includes a connecting rod 601 that is fitted into the mounting hole 505. One end of the connecting rod 601 is fixedly installed with an anti-detachment head 602. The outer surface of the anti-detachment head 602 is fitted into the inside of the mounting hole 505. The other end of the connecting rod 601 is fixedly installed with a limiting head 603. The connecting rod 601 connects the mounting plate 502 and the friction plate 503 through the anti-detachment head 602. A block diagram is provided on one side of the limiting head 603 to facilitate the user to quickly determine the position of the connecting rod 601 through the block diagram.

[0031] like Figure 4 and Figure 5As shown, the brake mechanism 5 has a fixing mechanism 7 inside. The fixing mechanism 7 includes a U-shaped fixing shell 701 that is fitted onto the outer surface of the limiting head 603. The outer surface of the U-shaped fixing shell 701 is fitted into the interior of the friction plate 503. The friction plate 503 has a disassembly hole 706 inside. Two cylindrical springs 702 are fixedly installed on both sides of the inner cavity of the U-shaped fixing shell 701. Two spring rods 703 are fixedly installed on the other end of each cylindrical spring 702. The outer surface of the spring rods 703 is fitted into the inner wall of the disassembly hole 706. A synchronous rack 704 is fixedly installed on one side of each of the two spring rods 703. One side of each of the two synchronous racks 704 is respectively fitted into the U-shaped fixing shell 701. The inner cavity of the fixed shell 701 is slidably connected on both sides. A synchronous gear 705 is rotatably installed on the inner wall of the U-shaped fixed shell 701. The outer surface of the synchronous gear 705 meshes with one side of the two synchronous racks 704 respectively. The U-shaped fixed shell 701 fixes the angle and position of the limiting head 603 through the friction plate 503. The columnar spring 702 drives the spring rod 703 to be inserted into the disassembly hole 706 to fix the U-shaped fixed shell 701 and the friction plate 503. The two spring rods 703 are synchronously extended and retracted inside the U-shaped fixed shell 701 through the synchronous racks 704 and the synchronous gear 705 respectively, which facilitates the tool to disassemble the spring rods 703 through the disassembly hole 706.

[0032] In use, hydraulic oil flows into the caliper through the inlet pipe 3. The hydraulic pressure acts on the pistons 501, causing them to move outwards and push the friction plates 503 to clamp the rotating brake disc 1, generating friction. The friction plates 503 can quickly transfer heat from the braking process to the air through the heat dissipation holes 504, preventing performance degradation or damage due to high temperatures. When replacing the friction plates 503, a tool is inserted into the disassembly hole 706, allowing the two spring rods 703 to pass through the synchronizing gears... The bar 704 and the synchronous gear 705 retract synchronously inside the U-shaped fixed housing 701, allowing the U-shaped fixed housing 701 to be removed. The U-shaped fixed housing 701 no longer fixes the angle and position of the limiting head 603. By rotating the limiting head 603 ninety degrees, the connecting rod 601 and the anti-detachment head 602 can be dislodged through the mounting hole 505, allowing the friction plate 503 to be removed from one side of the mounting plate 502 for replacement. Similarly, the friction plate 503 and the mounting plate 502 are fixed, completing the rapid disassembly and assembly of the friction plate 503.

Any equivalent structural or procedural transformations made based on the description and drawings of this utility model, or direct or indirect applications in other related technical fields, are similarly included within the patent protection scope of this utility model.
