[0029] Working principle
[0030] The connecting bolts, rubber springs, and connecting nuts in connection structure 1 and connection structure 2 are used to connect to the vehicle wheel side plate. The caliper body can move axially relative to the brake disc through the connecting bolts and rubber springs. The friction pads are connected to the caliper body through bolts and magnets, eliminating parts such as brake caliper brackets, guide pins, and guide pin dust covers.
[0031] When the vehicle is off and not in operation, the spring force of the disc spring 103 pushes the first piston 10201, which in turn pushes the adjusting bolt 10203 and the second piston 10202 forward. The second piston 10202 pushes the inner friction pad 401 to press against one side of the brake disc 7 to generate friction. The reaction force causes the caliper 1 to compress the rubber spring and move axially, causing the brake caliper to float and drive the outer friction pad 404 to press against the other side of the brake disc 7 to generate friction. This friction prevents the brake disc from rotating, and the brake disc then prevents the wheel from rotating to apply the parking brake.
[0032] Before the vehicle moves, the hydraulic system fills the space between the main body 101, the first piston 10201, the small seal ring 106 and the large seal ring 107 with pressurized oil. The first piston 10201 is compressed by the hydraulic pressure to the disc spring 103. At this time, the second piston 10202 is no longer pushed by the adjusting bolt 10203 and the first piston 10201, the friction pads no longer press against the brake disc 7, and the parking brake is released.
