Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of electric vehicle braking technology, and in particular to a disc brake caliper for a low-speed power-assisted bicycle. Background Technology

[0002] Low-speed electric bicycle single-piston disc brake calipers achieve braking by having a piston inside the caliper push the brake pads on both sides to clamp the disc. Its core structure consists of the caliper body, guide pins to constrain the caliper's axial sliding, hydraulically driven piston assembly, brake pad friction braking, and a heat dissipation structure to suppress heat fade. Existing motorcycle braking systems mostly use a single rigid piston structure. During braking, hydraulic pressure directly pushes the piston into contact with the brake pads, posing a risk of sudden changes in braking force and causing a reset delay, making it difficult to precisely control the braking process. Utility Model Content

[0003] To address the aforementioned problems, the purpose of this invention is to provide a low-speed electric bicycle disc brake caliper that achieves gradient adjustment of braking force through multiple pistons and can also quickly reset.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a low-speed power-assisted bicycle disc brake caliper, comprising: a caliper body, which is a symmetrical housing connected by connecting bolts, and an internal hydraulic chamber and brake pad guide groove; a guide pin, passing through the caliper body and fitted with a pin, wherein the brake pad is sleeved on the guide pin and slides along the brake pad guide groove; a piston assembly, disposed within the hydraulic chamber, comprising a piston body and an elastic compressible small piston embedded within the piston body, the small piston contacting the brake pad; and, in the non-braking state, a fixed lever is sleeved on the guide pin. The release spring is located between two brake pads and includes longitudinal and transverse positioning plates and symmetrically arranged elastic push bars. One side of the elastic push bar is U-shaped, and a return spring is provided between the two elastic push bars. The return spring is sleeved on the guide pin. The longitudinal and transverse positioning plates include a support bar connected to the elastic push bar, a first transverse plate at one end of the support bar, a longitudinal plate at the other end of the support bar that is bent downward, and a second transverse plate with an L-shaped cross section connected to the end of the longitudinal plate. The longitudinal and transverse positioning plates achieve vertical positioning by sliding contact with the inner wall of the brake pad guide groove through the first transverse plate and the second transverse plate.

[0005] The caliper body housing has a symmetrical split structure.

[0006] The piston body has a barrel-shaped structure.

[0007] The small piston is a truncated cone-shaped rubber elastomer. Its large circular base is embedded in the inner cavity of the piston body, and its small circular dome contacts the brake pad. The brake pad is positioned by inserting it into the brake pad guide groove through the vertical part of the longitudinal and transverse positioning plates.

[0008] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0009] 1. The small piston's elastic compression achieves gradient adjustment of braking force, avoiding sudden changes;

[0010] 2. The release spring and the return spring work together to quickly separate and reset the brake pads, improving braking control accuracy and response speed, and suppressing heat fade.

Detailed Implementation

[0016] The present invention will be described in detail below through embodiments, which are only used to further illustrate the present invention and should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0017] like Figure 1 — Figure 3 As shown, this embodiment discloses a low-speed electric bicycle disc brake caliper, including:

[0018] The caliper body 1 is a symmetrical housing, which is connected by connecting bolts 7. It has a hydraulic chamber and a brake pad guide groove inside.

[0019] Guide pin 2 passes through caliper body 1 and is equipped with pin 8. Brake pad 4 is sleeved on guide pin 2 and is positioned and slid along brake pad guide groove.

[0020] Piston assembly 3, located in hydraulic chamber, includes piston body 31 and elastic compressible small piston 32 embedded in piston body 31, small piston 32 is in contact with brake pad 4.

[0021] In the non-braking state, a release spring 5 is fixedly sleeved on the guide pin 2. The release spring 5 is located between the two brake pads 4 and includes longitudinal and transverse positioning plates 51 and symmetrically arranged elastic push bars 52. One side of the elastic push bar 52 is U-shaped to improve the stability of pushing the brake pad 4 back to its original position. A return spring 6 is provided between the two elastic push bars 52. The return spring 6 can assist the two elastic push bars 52 in opening and improve the brake pad return speed. The return spring 6 is sleeved on the guide pin 2. The longitudinal and transverse positioning plates 51 include a support bar 511 connected to the elastic push bar 52, a first transverse plate 512 at one end of the support bar 511, a longitudinal plate 513 at the other end of the support bar 511 that is bent downward, and a second transverse plate 514 with an L-shaped cross section connected to the end of the longitudinal plate 513. The longitudinal and transverse positioning plates 51 achieve vertical positioning by sliding contact with the inner wall of the brake pad guide groove through the first transverse plate 512 and the second transverse plate 514.

[0022] The piston body 31 has a barrel-shaped structure.

[0023] The small piston 32 is a rubber elastomer with a truncated cone structure. Its large round bottom is embedded in the inner cavity of the piston body 31, and its small round top contacts the brake pad 4.

[0024] The release spring 5 is positioned by inserting it into the brake pad guide groove through the vertical part of the longitudinal and transverse positioning plate 51.

[0025] Working principle: During braking, hydraulic oil drives the piston body 31 to move, and the small dome on the small piston 32 engages with the brake pads, thereby compressing the small piston 32. The small piston 32, through its elasticity, drives the two brake pads to act on the brake disc first, at which point the braking force gradually increases. Finally, the end face of the piston body 31 adheres to the brake pads 4, resulting in double pressure braking, at which point the braking force is at its maximum. This gradual increase in braking force avoids instantaneous lock-up. When the brake is released, the return spring 6 and the release spring 5 push the brake pads, small piston 32, and piston body 31 back to their original positions quickly.

[0026] By adopting the above technical solution, the following technical effects can be achieved: the elastic compression of the small piston realizes the gradient adjustment of braking force and avoids sudden changes; the synergistic action of the release spring and the return spring enables the brake pads to quickly separate and return, improving the braking control accuracy and response speed, and suppressing thermal fade.
