[0033] All features disclosed in this specification, or all steps in all disclosed methods or processes, may be combined in any way, except for mutually exclusive features and / or steps.

[0034] like Figures 1-5 As shown, the present invention provides a vertical cylinder hydraulic disc brake upper pump, which includes a cylinder body 7, an oil pipe body 3, a brake handle 16, and a piston assembly.

[0035] The cylinder body 7 is symmetrically arranged so that the left and right sides are interconnected. In the design of the cylinder body, the symmetry of the left and right installation is fully considered. The layout of each mounting hole, connection part and internal oil passage has the characteristics of left and right symmetry. This allows the same set of molds to produce products suitable for installation on the left and right sides of bicycles, which greatly reduces mold cost and production management cost, while reducing inventory pressure.

[0036] The cylinder body 7 is provided with an oil chamber oil passage hole 28, and the piston assembly is disposed in the oil chamber oil passage hole; the brake handle 16 is rotatably disposed on the cylinder body 7, and the brake handle 16 is connected to the other end of the piston assembly through a height adjustment structure.

[0037] The cylinder body 7 is provided with an oil chamber, and an oil cover assembly is provided on the oil chamber; the oil chamber is connected to the oil passage hole of the oil chamber; the oil pipe body 3 is sealed on the oil pipe interface of the cylinder body 7.

[0038] The brake lever is designed for one-finger operation, which conforms to ergonomic principles and allows riders to brake quickly and easily during riding, making it especially suitable for models such as crawler bikes that require frequent braking.

[0039] The height adjustment structure includes a rotating shaft 15 and a push rod 12. The rotating shaft 15 is rotatably connected to the brake handle 16 via a bearing 14. The push rod 12 is machined with external threads. One end of the push rod 12 is connected to the piston assembly, and the other end passes through the rotating shaft 15.

[0040] The other end of the push rod 12 is provided with an internal hexagon countersunk hole. By rotating the push rod 12 with an internal hexagon wrench, the height of the handle can be adjusted up and down.

[0041] The piston assembly includes a spring 8 and an upper pump piston 9.

[0042] An O-ring 17 is provided at the upper end of the upper pump piston 9, and a V-ring 18 is provided at the lower end of the upper pump piston 9; the spring 8 is provided at the lower end of the upper pump piston 9, and the other end of the spring 8 is in contact with the end of the oil passage hole in the oil chamber.

[0043] The upper pump piston 9 is disposed in the oil passage hole of the oil chamber, and a washer 10 and a retaining ring 11 are provided at the piston rod at the upper end of the upper pump piston 9.

[0044] The cylinder 7 is symmetrically provided with vent holes, which are located at the top of the cylinder 7 to ensure that air in the braking system can be effectively discharged. The vent holes are connected to vent screws 2. A first oil seal 1 is provided between the vent screws 2 and the vent holes. When air needs to be discharged, the vent screws are loosened, the brake lever is pressed, and the brake fluid discharges the air from the vent holes. Then the vent screws are tightened, which ensures the purity of the brake fluid in the braking system and improves the stability of the braking effect.

[0045] The cylinder block 7 is equipped with an oil pipe interface, and a locking nut is installed at the oil pipe interface. A clamping screw 4 is installed on the oil pipe body 3. A copper sleeve 5 is installed at the front end of the clamping screw 4, and a copper needle 6 is installed inside the oil pipe interface. When the clamping screw 4 is threadedly connected to the locking nut of the oil pipe interface, the copper sleeve 5 is compressed and deformed to clamp the oil pipe body 3 and simultaneously fit against the conical surface of the oil pipe interface of the cylinder block 7. The copper needle 6 is placed inside the copper sleeve 5. Furthermore, the oil pipe interface adopts a conical surface seal and an O-ring seal to ensure a tight connection between the oil pipe body 3 and the cylinder block 7 and prevent brake fluid leakage. The clamping screw and locking nut further strengthen the connection of the oil pipe body and improve the reliability of the connection.

[0046] In addition, the oil cap assembly includes an oil cup gasket 21 and an oil cap body 20;

[0047] The oil cup pad 21 is placed inside the oil cavity, and the oil cap body 20 is placed on the oil cup pad 21; the oil cup pad 21 and the oil cap body 20 are fixed by the oil cap fixing screw 19;

[0048] The cylinder body 7 is symmetrically provided with oil injection holes, and the oil injection holes are corresponding to the positions of the oil chambers. Oil is injected into the oil chambers through the oil injection holes. An oil injection screw 23 is provided on the oil injection hole, and a second oil seal 22 is provided between the oil injection screw 23 and the oil injection hole.

[0049] In addition, the front and back of the cylinder body 7 are fixed with an upper lock handle cover 25 and a lower lock handle cover 27 by lock handle screws 24; the upper lock handle cover 25 and the lower lock handle cover 27 are rotatably connected by a fixing pin 26.

[0050] In addition, the cylinder body 7 is provided with a threaded fixing hole, and the bearing 14 is installed in the slot of the brake handle 16. The handle fixing screw 13 passes through the inner hole of the bearing 14 and connects with the corresponding threaded hole on the cylinder body 7, thereby realizing the rotational connection of the brake handle 16. This can significantly reduce the friction when the handle rotates, making the braking operation smoother, improving the braking response speed, and extending the service life of the handle connection part, thus reducing maintenance costs.

[0051] The above description is merely a specific embodiment of this utility model, but the protection scope of this utility model is not limited thereto. Any changes or substitutions conceived without inventive effort should be included within the protection scope of this utility model. Therefore, the protection scope of this utility model should be determined by the scope defined in the claims.
