Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of brake caliper technology, specifically a brake caliper with an auxiliary cooling structure. Background Technology
[0002] Brake calipers are a key component of a car's braking system. Their main function is to push the brake pads against the brake disc through the pressure of the brake fluid when the brake pedal is pressed, thereby slowing down or stopping the vehicle. During use, brake calipers can also use cooling fins or vents to dissipate the heat generated by friction between the brake pads and the brake disc through airflow.
[0003] Existing brake calipers have the following drawbacks during use:
[0004] 1. When the brake caliper is in use, the brake pads inside it will rub against the brake disc. Since part of the brake disc surface is exposed to the external environment, dust in the air will be adsorbed on the surface of the brake disc, thus contaminating the surface of the brake disc. As a result, when the brake disc and brake pads rub against each other, the wear between the brake pads and the brake disc will be increased, thereby reducing the service life of the brake disc and brake caliper.
[0005] 2. During use, the brake pads and brake discs inside the brake caliper rub against each other, generating a lot of heat. Simply adding heat sinks or vents to dissipate heat is not enough, as the heat dissipation rate is slow. This causes the heat between the brake pads and brake discs to gradually rise, eventually leading to overheating and performance degradation or damage to the brake caliper. Utility Model Content
[0006] In view of the above-mentioned shortcomings of the existing technology, the present invention provides a brake caliper with a cooling structure, which can effectively solve the problems in the existing technology.
[0007] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:
[0008] This utility model discloses a brake caliper with a cooling structure, including a brake caliper body, a brake disc mounted below the brake caliper body, and a cooling mechanism provided on the outer surface of the brake caliper body.
[0009] The cooling mechanism is used to cool the outer surface of the brake disc and lubricate the surface of the brake disc during the cooling process. The cooling mechanism can also accelerate the flow rate of the lubricating medium during the cooling process.
[0010] Furthermore, the cooling mechanism includes a mounting block, which is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the brake caliper body. A processing plate is symmetrically fixedly connected to the bottom end of the mounting block. The processing plate is disposed on both sides of the brake disc. A processing tube is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the processing plate. A drive cylinder is fixedly connected to the end of the processing tube away from the processing plate. A fan is fixedly connected inside the drive cylinder.
[0011] Furthermore, the processing plate has a processing cavity inside, which is connected to the processing tube, and a processing hole is provided on the side of the processing plate near the brake disc, which is connected to the processing cavity.
[0012] Furthermore, a storage tank is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the drive cylinder, an integrated sealing plug is inserted into the top of the storage tank, an integrated handle is fixedly connected to the top of the integrated sealing plug, a guide pipe is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the storage tank, and a drain pipe is fixedly connected to the end of the guide pipe near the treatment pipe.
[0013] Furthermore, the processing tube has a drainage cavity inside, and an outlet ring is fixedly connected inside the drainage cavity. The drainage tube communicates with the drainage cavity.
[0014] Furthermore, an atomizing plate is fixedly connected inside the guide tube.
[0015] Compared with the known prior art, the technical solution provided by this utility model has the following beneficial effects:
[0016] 1. This utility model uses airflow through the processing holes on the processing plate to remove dust from the surface of the brake disc, thereby improving the cleanliness of the brake disc surface. This avoids increasing the friction between the brake caliper body and the brake disc due to dust on the brake disc surface, thus reducing the wear degree when the brake caliper body and the brake disc rub against each other. At the same time, the airflow is used to cool the surface of the brake disc, thereby improving the service life of the brake caliper body and the brake disc.
[0017] 2. This utility model introduces lubricant mist into the processing chamber inside the processing plate through a drainage pipe, allowing the lubricant mist to be discharged onto the brake disc surface along with the airflow, thereby lubricating the brake disc surface and reducing the friction between the brake caliper body and the brake disc. After the lubricant mist mixes with the airflow, the airflow accelerates the flow speed of the lubricant mist, thus speeding up the lubrication of the brake disc surface. The use of a dual-layer cooling method of airflow and lubricant mist is beneficial to improving the cooling effect on the brake disc surface, thereby preventing the continuous rise of heat between the brake caliper body and the brake disc, ensuring the normal use of the brake caliper body, and preventing the brake caliper body from experiencing performance degradation or damage due to overheating.

[0029] This embodiment includes a brake caliper with an attached cooling structure, such as... Figures 1 to 5 As shown, it includes a brake caliper body 1, a brake disc 2 is mounted below the brake caliper body 1, and a cooling mechanism is provided on the outer surface of the brake caliper body 1.
[0030] The cooling mechanism is used to cool the outer surface of the brake disc 2 and to lubricate the surface of the brake disc 2 during the cooling process. The cooling mechanism can also accelerate the flow rate of the lubricating medium during the cooling process.
[0031] As a preferred embodiment of this example, Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the cooling mechanism includes a mounting block 31, which is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the brake caliper body 1. A treatment plate 35 is symmetrically fixedly connected to the bottom end of the mounting block 31. The treatment plates 35 are disposed on both sides of the brake disc 2. A treatment pipe 34 is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the treatment plate 35. A drive cylinder 32 is fixedly connected to the end of the treatment pipe 34 away from the treatment plate 35. A fan 33 is fixedly connected inside the drive cylinder 32. A treatment cavity is formed inside the treatment plate 35, communicating with the treatment pipe 34. A treatment hole is formed on the side of the treatment plate 35 closest to the brake disc 2, and the treatment hole communicates with... The processing chamber is connected, and a storage tank 37 is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the drive cylinder 32. An integrated sealing plug is inserted into the top of the storage tank 37, and an integrated handle is fixedly connected to the top of the integrated sealing plug. A guide tube 38 is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the storage tank 37. A drainage tube 310 is fixedly connected to one end of the guide tube 38 near the processing tube 34. A drainage cavity is opened inside the processing tube 34. An outlet ring 36 is fixedly connected inside the drainage cavity. An outlet hole is opened on the outer surface of the outlet ring 36.

[0032] Working principle:
[0033] Initial limitations:
[0034] Before using this utility model, the user needs to install a micro-transfer pump inside the storage tank 37 and connect the outlet of the micro-transfer pump to the guide pipe 38.
[0035] The user needs to remove the integrated sealing plug at the top of the storage tank 37. The user must manually pull the integrated handle at the top of the sealing plug upwards to move it upwards, thus detaching the integrated sealing plug from the top of the storage tank 37. Once the integrated sealing plug is completely detached from the top of the storage tank 37, the user needs to inject lubricant into the storage tank 37 from the connection point between the integrated sealing plug and the top of the storage tank 37. Then, the user should replace the integrated sealing plug. Figure 3 The state shown;
[0036] like Figures 1 to 5As shown, the user turns on the power of the fan 33 to start the fan 33. The fan 33 drives the air inside the drive cylinder 32 to flow, forming an airflow. The airflow is introduced from the inside of the drive cylinder 32 into the processing tube 34, and from the inside of the processing tube 34 into the processing chamber inside the processing plate 35. Then it is discharged from the processing hole. The airflow discharged through the processing hole on the processing plate 35 can remove dust from the surface of the brake disc 2, thereby improving the cleanliness of the surface of the brake disc 2. This avoids the increase in friction between the brake caliper body 1 and the brake disc 2 due to dust on the surface of the brake disc 2, thereby reducing the wear degree when the brake caliper body 1 and the brake disc 2 rub against each other. At the same time, the airflow is used to cool the surface of the brake disc 2, thereby improving the service life of the brake caliper body 1 and the brake disc 2.
[0037] The user connects the power supply to the micro-pump, which then starts operating. The micro-pump guides the lubricant from the reservoir 37 into the guide tube 38. After being atomized by the atomizing plate 39 inside the guide tube 38, the lubricant mist is drawn from the guide tube 38 into the drainage tube 310, and then from the drainage tube 310 into the drainage chamber inside the treatment tube 34. Finally, the lubricant mist passes through the outlet hole on the outlet ring 36 into the treatment chamber inside the treatment plate 35, thus allowing the lubricant mist to be discharged onto the surface of the brake disc 2 along with the airflow. The surface of the brake disc 2 is lubricated to reduce the friction between the brake caliper body 1 and the brake disc 2. After the lubricant mist is mixed with the airflow, the airflow accelerates the flow speed of the lubricant mist, thereby speeding up the lubrication of the surface of the brake disc 2. The use of a dual-layer cooling method of airflow and lubricant mist is beneficial to improving the cooling effect on the surface of the brake disc 2, thereby preventing the continuous rise of heat between the brake caliper body 1 and the brake disc 2, ensuring the normal use of the brake caliper body 1, and preventing the brake caliper body 1 from experiencing performance degradation or damage due to overheating.
