It should be noted that the embodiments of the present application and the features in the embodiments can be combined with each other without conflict.

[0033] In the following description, many specific details are set forth in order to provide a thorough understanding of the present application, but the present application can also be implemented in other ways different from those described herein; obviously, the embodiments in the description are only some of the embodiments of the present application, not all the embodiments.

[0034] As a commonly used means of transportation at present, the importance of vehicle safety is self-evident.

[0035] Among them, the overheating of the brake pad will cause the friction coefficient of its surface to decrease, resulting in an increase in braking distance and a significant decrease in braking performance. In the case of high-speed driving or emergency braking, it cannot respond quickly, which will cause safety problems, and long-term overheating of the brake pad will also cause the brake pad to deform, shortening its service life.

[0036] Therefore, there is a need to design a structure for cooling and heat dissipation of brake pads to improve the situation of vehicle safety problems caused by overheating of brake pads.

[0037] To solve the above technical problems, the application provides a vehicle, which comprises a brake pad 300, a vehicle frame and a brake pad heat dissipation assembly 100.

[0038] Among them, the brake pad 300 of the vehicle refers to the friction material fixed on the brake drum or brake disc rotating with the wheel, and the friction lining in it bears external pressure to produce friction effect to achieve the purpose of vehicle deceleration.

[0039] When the brake pad 300 is applied to the front wheel, the vehicle frame can include a front fender, and the air pipe 200 is arranged on the front fender for guiding the air flow of the front fender to the front wheel position through the air pipe 200, and the brake pad 300 of the front wheel is cooled through the air pipe outlet of the air pipe 200.

[0040] Please refer to Figures 1 to 3 , the brake pad heat dissipation assembly 100 can include a fender 110 and an air guide pipe 120, along the width direction of the vehicle, the fender 110 is installed on the inner side of the brake pad 300, and the fender 110 is used to block the mud and stones thrown by the tire. The fender 110 is provided with an air outlet 111, and the air outlet 111 penetrates the fender 110 in the direction of the fender 110 towards the brake pad.

[0041] The air guide pipe 120 is formed in a tubular shape and includes a first port and a second port 1221, the first port is the inlet of the air guide pipe 120, which is in communication with the air pipe outlet, and the second port 1221 is in communication with the air outlet 111.

[0042] In this way, by arranging the air guide pipe 120, the air flow from the air pipe outlet can be directly guided to the air outlet 111 of the fender 110, and then the brake pad 300 is blown through the air outlet 111 of the fender 110, which can improve the utilization rate of the air flow from the air pipe outlet, avoid the air flow from the air pipe outlet flowing to other positions of the front wheel and waste the air flow, and achieve the effect of cooling the brake pad 300.

[0043] In some embodiments of the application, please continue to refer to Figures 1 to 3 , the air guide pipe 120 can include a first end portion 121 close to the air pipe outlet and a second end portion 122 close to the fender 110. In the specific implementation process, one end of the air guide pipe 120 in the length direction is formed as the first end portion 121, and the other end is formed as the second end portion 122. Taking the air guide pipe 120 with one medium inlet and one medium outlet as an example, the first port can be one of the medium inlet and the medium outlet of the air guide pipe 120, and the second port 1221 can be the other one of the medium inlet and the medium outlet.

[0044] The first port is arranged at the first end portion 121, and the first end portion 121 is detachably connected to the air duct 200 at the air duct outlet, so that the air deflector 120 and the air duct 200 can be detached, and the mudguard 110 can be detached from the brake pad 300, so that the brake pad heat dissipation assembly 100 can be maintained or replaced, and the inside of the air deflector 120 can be cleaned.

[0045] Further, the brake pad heat dissipation assembly 100 can further include an adapter 130, and the first port is in communication with the air duct outlet through the adapter 130. The adapter 130 is formed in a tubular shape, and in the extension direction of the adapter 130, the adapter 130 includes a first adapter section and a second adapter section connected in series. The first adapter section is detachably connected to the air duct 200 at the air duct outlet, and the second adapter section is sealingly connected to the first end portion 121 at the first port.

[0046] Therefore, the adapter 130 is arranged to realize the connection between the air deflector 120 and the air duct outlet.

[0047] It should be noted that the first adapter section of the adapter 130 is matched with the hole diameter of the air duct outlet, and the second adapter section of the adapter 130 is matched with the hole diameter of the first port of the air deflector 120. In the specific implementation process, in order to ensure the universality of the air deflector 120, the second adapter section can be arranged as a cylindrical structure of the same specification, and the first adapter section can be designed as a cylindrical structure of different specifications according to the air duct outlet of different vehicle models. In this way, on the one hand, when the brake pad heat dissipation assembly 100 is assembled into different vehicle models, the adapter 130 with the first adapter section of different specifications can be replaced.

[0048] On the other hand, the first adapter 130 is designed according to the specification of the air duct outlet, which avoids the redesign and mold opening of the air duct outlet, reduces the cost, and improves the universality of the brake pad heat dissipation assembly 100.

[0049] In some embodiments of the present application, please refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3 The first adapter section is clamped to the air duct outlet of the air duct 200. Specifically, the circumferential outer side of the first adapter section is provided with a plurality of clamping protrusions, and the clamping protrusions are used to realize the clamping to the air duct outlet, so as to realize the detachable connection between the adapter 130 and the air duct 200.

[0050] In some embodiments of the present application, please refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3 The brake pad heat dissipation assembly 100 can further include a first clamp 140. The first end portion 121 is sleeved on the circumferential outer side of the second adapter section through the first port, the first clamp 140 is sleeved on the circumferential outer side of the first end portion 121, and the air deflector 120 and the second adapter section are locked at the first port.

[0051] Thus, the detachable connection between the air duct 120 and the second adapter section can be realized by the design of the first clasp 140, and the sealing connection of the air duct 120 for the second adapter section can also be realized.

[0052] It should be noted that the first clasp 140 is a clasp that can be adjusted in tightness, and by adjusting the tightness of the first clasp 140, the inner wall of the first end portion 121 of the air duct 120 is tightly fitted with the outer wall of the second adapter section, so as to realize the sealing connection between the air duct 120 and the second adapter section.

[0053] Further, the second port 1221 is arranged on the second end portion 122, the second port 1221 is in communication with the air outlet 111, and the second end portion 122 is detachably connected with the fender 110 at the air outlet 111. Thus, the detachability of the air duct 120 can be realized through the detachable connection between the first end portion 121 and the air pipe 200 and the detachable connection between the second end portion 122 and the fender 110. In this way, when the air duct 120 needs to be repaired or replaced, the air duct 120 can be easily removed for repair and replacement.

[0054] In a real use scenario, the air duct 120 is generally needed to cool the brake pad 300 when the vehicle is running at a high speed, such as when running on a highway or racing on a track. Therefore, the user can install the air duct 120 when the vehicle is running at a high speed to increase the heat dissipation effect of the brake pad 300, and can remove the air duct 120 when the vehicle is running on a normal road section to reduce the weight of the vehicle and reduce fuel consumption.

[0055] Specifically, the edge of the air outlet 111 is folded in a direction away from the brake pad 300 to form an auxiliary pipe, the second end portion 122 is sleeved on the circumferential outer side of the auxiliary pipe through the second port 1221, and the second end portion 122 is detachably connected with the auxiliary pipe.

[0056] Thus, by sleeving the second port 1221 on the circumferential outer side of the auxiliary pipe, the air duct 120 is connected with the air outlet 111, so that the airflow in the air duct 120 passes through the fender 110 and blows to the brake pad 300 through the air outlet 111 to cool the brake pad 300.

[0057] In some embodiments of the present application, the brake pad heat dissipation assembly 100 can further include a second clasp 150, the second clasp 150 is sleeved on the circumferential outer side of the second end portion 122 and locks the second end portion 122 and the auxiliary pipe at the second port 1221, so as to realize the sealing connection between the second end portion 122 and the auxiliary pipe and ensure that the gas flowing out of the air duct 120 can all flow to the brake pad 300 through the air outlet 111 to cool the brake pad 300.

[0058] In order to improve the universality of the heat dissipation effect of the brake pad 300, the air guide pipe 120 can be provided as a hose, and the hose can be arranged according to the specific environment around the brake pad 300, thereby improving the universality of the brake pad heat dissipation assembly 100.

[0059] Further, please continue to refer to Figure 3 The air guide pipe 120 can be provided as a threaded hose, and it should be noted that the threaded hose is a commonly used material, which has low cost and can adjust the length and arbitrary bending, and can further improve the universality of the brake pad heat dissipation assembly 100.
