Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This application relates to the field of mechanical parts technology, and in particular to heat-insulating coatings, couplings, and carbon-ceramic braking devices. Background Technology
[0002] With the increasing demand for high-performance braking systems in the automotive, aerospace, and other fields, split-type carbon-ceramic brake discs are gradually gaining widespread application due to their superior performance, such as lightweight design, high heat resistance, and excellent braking performance. During braking, carbon-ceramic brake discs generate a significant amount of heat due to friction. While some of this heat is dissipated through ventilation, a considerable portion is transferred to the connected brake caps (also known as metal caps) via thermal radiation. Brake caps are typically made of metal, which has high thermal conductivity. If they absorb a large amount of heat radiation from the carbon-ceramic brake disc, their temperature will rise rapidly. Excessive temperature negatively impacts the material properties of the brake caps, such as reducing their strength and potentially causing thermal fatigue and shortening their lifespan under prolonged high-temperature conditions. Furthermore, excessively high brake cap temperatures can affect the normal operation of other connected components, such as affecting the lubrication of wheel bearings, increasing wear, and even causing malfunctions in other parts of the braking system, thus threatening the safety and reliability of the entire braking system.
[0003] Currently, traditional solutions to the problem of heat radiation from split carbon-ceramic brake discs to the brake caliper mainly focus on optimizing the ventilation structure of the carbon-ceramic brake disc and adding heat dissipation fins to improve the heat dissipation efficiency of the carbon-ceramic brake disc itself and reduce the generation and accumulation of heat. However, these methods in traditional technologies have limited effectiveness in suppressing heat that has already been generated and radiated to the brake caliper, and cannot fundamentally solve the problem of the brake caliper overheating due to heat radiation. Utility Model Content
[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to provide a heat-insulating coating that can effectively reduce the heat radiation from the carbon ceramic brake disc to the brake contacts, ensuring the stable operation and safety of the braking system.
[0005] One embodiment of this application provides a heat-insulating coating.
[0006] A heat-insulating coating includes a bottom adhesive layer, a heat-insulating body layer, and a top protective layer that are stacked sequentially. The bottom adhesive layer is used to connect with a connector, and the heat-insulating body layer includes a porous structure made of nano-aerogel composite material.
[0007] In some embodiments, the underlying adhesive layer comprises a silicone resin layer formed by curing a silicone resin adhesive.
[0008] In some embodiments, the thickness of the underlying adhesive layer is 50 μm to 100 μm.
[0009] In some embodiments, the thickness of the thermal insulation main layer is 2mm to 3mm.
[0010] In some embodiments, the heat insulation core layer contains high-temperature resistant ceramic particles.
[0011] In some embodiments, the high-temperature resistant ceramic particles include one or both of silicon carbide particles and metal oxide particles.
[0012] In some embodiments, the metal oxide particles include one or more of alumina particles and titanium dioxide.
[0013] In some embodiments, the top protective layer comprises a ceramic coating.
[0014] In some embodiments, the thickness of the top protective layer is 10 μm to 20 μm.
[0015] One embodiment of this application also provides a clasp.
[0016] A connector having the heat-insulating coating described in any of the above embodiments.
[0017] One embodiment of this application also provides a carbon ceramic braking device.
[0018] A carbon ceramic braking device includes a coupling as described in any of the above embodiments, the coupling being used for fixing to a wheel.
[0019] The aforementioned heat-insulating coating can be applied to the brake clutch to improve its heat dissipation, extend the service life of the brake clutch and other components, and enhance the safety and reliability of the entire braking system. Specifically, in this application, the bottom adhesive layer is used to connect with the brake clutch; the heat-insulating main layer includes a porous structure made of nano-aerogel composite material, meaning the porous structure is mainly composed of nano-aerogel composite material. The heat-insulating main layer has high porosity and extremely low thermal conductivity, effectively blocking the conduction of heat generated by the carbon ceramic brake disc to the brake clutch; in addition, the top protective layer effectively protects the entire heat-insulating coating, protecting the heat-insulating material of the middle heat-insulating main layer from external environmental erosion and mechanical damage, thus improving the service life of the heat-insulating coating.
[0020] In summary, this application has the following beneficial effects:
[0021] (1) Effectively reduce the temperature of the clutch: Through the design of nano-aerogel composite material and multi-layer coating structure, the heat radiation from the carbon ceramic brake disc to the clutch can be significantly reduced. According to experimental tests, under the same braking conditions, the surface temperature of the clutch using the heat insulation coating of this application can be reduced by 30%~50%, which effectively avoids the problem of performance degradation and shortened life of the clutch due to excessive temperature.
[0022] (2) Improve the reliability of the braking system: The reduction in the temperature of the clutch improves the working environment of other connected components, such as ensuring the lubrication performance of the wheel hub bearing, reducing the probability of wear and failure, thereby improving the reliability and safety of the entire braking system.
[0023] (3) Enhance the stability and durability of the heat insulation coating: The addition of high-temperature resistant ceramic particles enhances the mechanical strength of the heat insulation coating. The design of the top protective layer protects the main heat insulation layer, so that the heat insulation coating can maintain stable heat insulation performance under harsh environments such as long-term high temperature, vibration and impact, extending the service life of the heat insulation coating and reducing maintenance and replacement costs.

The heat-insulating coating will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0038] The heat-insulating coating 10 provided in one embodiment of this application is exemplary; please refer to [link to relevant documentation]. Figure 1 As shown, Figure 1This is a schematic diagram of the structure of the heat-insulating coating 10 provided in one embodiment of this application. The heat-insulating coating 10 of this application can be used to prepare carbon-ceramic brake discs, improve the heat dissipation effect of carbon-ceramic brake discs, increase the service life of carbon-ceramic brake discs and their connected couplings and other components, and improve the safety and reliability of the entire braking system.
[0039] To more clearly illustrate the structure of the heat insulation coating 10, the heat insulation coating 10 will be described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.
[0040] For example, please refer to Figure 1 As shown, a heat-insulating coating 10 includes a bottom adhesive layer 100, a heat-insulating body layer 200, and a top protective layer 300, which are sequentially stacked together. The bottom adhesive layer 100 is used for connection with a connector. The heat-insulating body layer 200 includes a porous structure made of nano-aerogel composite material.
[0041] The aforementioned heat-insulating coating 10 can be applied to the brake clutch, improving its heat dissipation, extending the service life of the brake clutch and other components, and enhancing the safety and reliability of the entire braking system. Specifically, in this application, the bottom adhesive layer 100 is used to connect with the brake clutch; the heat-insulating main layer 200 includes a porous structure made of nano-aerogel composite material, meaning the porous structure is mainly composed of nano-aerogel composite material. The heat-insulating main layer 200 has high porosity and extremely low thermal conductivity, effectively blocking the heat generated by the carbon ceramic brake disc from being conducted to the brake clutch; in addition, the top protective layer 300 effectively protects the entire heat-insulating coating 10, protecting the heat-insulating material of the middle heat-insulating main layer 200 from external environmental erosion and mechanical damage, thus improving the service life of the heat-insulating coating 10.
[0042] In some embodiments, the underlying adhesive layer comprises a silicone resin layer formed by curing a silicone resin adhesive. The silicone resin adhesive is capable of forming a strong chemical bond with the metal material on the mating surface, ensuring a tight bond between the entire heat insulation coating 10 and the mating.
[0043] In some embodiments, the thickness of the bottom adhesive layer 100 is 50 μm to 100 μm. For example, the thickness of the bottom adhesive layer 100 may include, but is not limited to, 50 μm, 60 μm, 70 μm, 80 μm, 90 μm, 100 μm or any range between the two mentioned above.
[0044] In some embodiments, the thickness of the thermal insulation main layer 200 is 2mm to 3mm.

[0045] In some embodiments, the thermal insulation body layer 200 contains high-temperature resistant ceramic particles.
[0046] In some embodiments, the high-temperature resistant ceramic particles include one or both of silicon carbide particles and metal oxide particles. The addition of high-temperature resistant ceramic particles, such as silicon carbide (SiC) and alumina (Al2O3) particles, to the nano-aerogel composite material not only increases the mechanical strength of the heat insulation main layer 200, making it less prone to detachment when subjected to vibration and impact during braking, but also further improves the high-temperature resistance of the heat insulation coating 10. In addition, the heat insulation main layer 200 also contains a small amount of titanium dioxide (TiO2) particles. Titanium dioxide particles have good infrared reflectivity, which can reflect the infrared radiation emitted by the carbon ceramic brake disc, reducing heat transfer to the clutch.
[0047] In some embodiments, the metal oxide particles include one or more of alumina particles and titanium dioxide.
[0048] In some embodiments, the top protective layer 300 includes a ceramic coating. The ceramic coating serves a protective function. It exhibits good abrasion resistance and chemical stability, protecting the intermediate insulation material from environmental erosion and mechanical damage. Simultaneously, the smooth surface of the ceramic coating reduces the adhesion of dust and impurities.
[0049] In some embodiments, the thickness of the top protective layer 300 is 10 μm to 20 μm. For example, the thickness of the top protective layer 300 may include, but is not limited to, 10 μm, 12 μm, 13 μm, 15 μm, 17 μm, 18 μm, 20 μm or any range between the two aforementioned.
[0050] The preparation method of the above-mentioned heat-insulating coating 10 includes the following steps:
[0051] S10. Pre-treat the surface of the carbon ceramic brake disc by using sandpaper polishing and chemical cleaning to remove oil, rust and impurities from the surface of the carbon ceramic brake disc.
[0052] S20. Sandblast the carbon ceramic brake disc to increase the roughness of the mating surface and improve the adhesion of the coating.
[0053] S30. Prepare the bottom adhesive layer 100 by spraying. Spray the silicone resin adhesive evenly onto the surface of the carbon ceramic brake disc, with the thickness controlled at 50μm~100μm, and then cure it at 150℃~200℃ for 1~2h to form the bottom adhesive layer 100.
[0054] S40. The thermal insulation main layer 200 is prepared by thermal spraying. The nano-aerogel composite material is heated to a molten state and sprayed at high speed onto the surface of the bottom adhesive layer 100 through a spray gun to form a thermal insulation main layer 200 with a thickness of 2mm~3mm.
[0055] S50. The top protective layer 300 is prepared by physical vapor deposition. The ceramic material is evaporated and deposited on the surface of the heat insulation main layer 200 in a vacuum environment to form a top protective layer 300 with a thickness of 10μm~20μm.

According to experimental tests, under the same braking conditions, the surface temperature of the clutch using the heat insulation coating 10 of this application can be reduced by 30%~50%, which effectively avoids the problem of performance degradation and shortened life of the clutch due to excessive temperature.
[0062] (2) Improve the reliability of the braking system: The reduction in the temperature of the clutch improves the working environment of other connected components, such as ensuring the lubrication performance of the wheel hub bearing, reducing the probability of wear and failure, thereby improving the reliability and safety of the entire braking system.
