Detailed Implementation

[0042] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this utility model clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0045] In the description of this utility model, it should be noted that if terms such as "upper," "lower," "inner," or "outer" are used to indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings, or the orientation or positional relationship in which the utility model product is usually placed during use, they are only for the convenience of describing this utility model and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore should not be construed as a limitation of this utility model.

[0046] Furthermore, the terms "first" and "second" are used only to distinguish descriptions and should not be interpreted as indicating or implying relative importance.

[0047] It should be noted that, where there is no conflict, the features in the embodiments of this utility model can be combined with each other.

[0048] Please refer to Figure 1 This embodiment provides a vehicle 020, which includes a body 800, wheels 810 disposed on the body, and a braking system (not shown). The braking system includes luminous brake calipers 010 disposed on the wheels. The luminous brake calipers 010 can not only be used for braking, but also emit brilliant light to meet the user's aesthetic needs for the vehicle.

[0049] Furthermore, vehicle 020 also includes a control device 820 mounted on the vehicle body; please refer to... Figure 2 The luminous brake caliper 010 includes a brake caliper 100 and a luminous structure 200 disposed on the brake caliper 100; the brake caliper 100 is mounted on the wheel; the luminous structure 200 is electrically connected to the control device 820 to realize power supply and luminous control of the luminous structure 200.

[0050] It should be noted that the principles of power supply and light control of the light-emitting structure 200 through the control device, as well as the braking principle of the brake caliper 100, are similar to related technologies and will not be elaborated here.

[0051] It should also be noted that the braking system also includes the brake pedal, master cylinder, wheel cylinders, brake pads, and other structures. These structures are similar to those in related technologies, and will not be described in detail here.

[0052] The inventors discovered that the light-emitting structure provided by the related technology needs to be electrically connected to the control device through an electrical connection structure. However, the electrical connection structure cannot achieve a stable electrical connection with the light-emitting structure. That is, the electrical connection structure and the light-emitting structure are prone to disconnection, and the disconnection will generate an electric arc. The occurrence of the electric arc can easily lead to damage to the light-emitting structure.

[0053] To improve the above problems, please refer to: Figure 2The luminous brake caliper 010 of this embodiment includes an electrical connection structure 300. The luminous structure 200 is electrically connected to the control device through the electrical connection structure 300, and the electrical connection structure 300 is also connected to the brake caliper 100. That is, in addition to being electrically connected to the luminous structure 200 so that the luminous structure 200 is electrically connected to the control device through the electrical connection structure 300, the electrical connection structure 300 is also simultaneously connected to the brake caliper 100. In this way, by connecting the electrical connection structure 300 to the brake caliper 100, the stability of the electrical connection between the electrical connection structure 300 and the luminous structure 200 disposed on the brake caliper 100 can be improved, thereby reducing the problem of electric arcing caused by unstable (disconnected) electrical connection between the electrical connection structure 300 and the luminous structure 200, and thus improving the problem that the luminous structure 200 is easily damaged by electric arcing.

[0054] The specific structure of the electrical connection structure 300 can be configured as needed. In this embodiment, the electrical connection structure 300 includes a conductive component 410 and an adhesive layer 420. The conductive component 410 is electrically connected to the light-emitting structure 200, that is, the light-emitting structure 200 is electrically connected to the control device through the conductive component 410, and the conductive component 410 is connected to the brake caliper 100 through the adhesive layer 420. Connecting the conductive component 410 to the brake caliper 100 through the adhesive layer 420 can improve the stability of the electrical connection between the conductive component 410 and the light-emitting structure 200, thereby reducing the problem of arcing caused by the disconnection between the conductive component 410 and the light-emitting structure 200, that is, reducing the problem of arcing caused by the unstable connection between the conductive component 410 and the light-emitting structure 200.

[0055] Optionally, the conductive component 410 includes a conductive element 411 and a conductive wire 412. The conductive wire 412 is electrically connected to the light-emitting structure 200 through the conductive element 411, and the end of the conductive wire 412 away from the conductive element 411 is electrically connected to the control device. The conductive element 411 is connected to the brake caliper 100 through an adhesive layer 420. This ensures both the reliability of the electrical connection between the light-emitting structure 200 and the control device via the conductive component 410 and the stability of the connection between the conductive component 410 and the light-emitting structure 200, effectively reducing the problem of arcing between the conductive component 410 and the light-emitting structure 200.

[0056] Furthermore, the conductive component 411 includes two conductive foils 4111, with a conductive wire 412 sandwiched between the two conductive foils 4111. One of the conductive foils 4111 is electrically connected to the light-emitting structure 200, and an adhesive layer 420 is adhered to the side of the other conductive foil 4111 facing away from the conductive wire 412 and connected to the brake caliper 100. That is, the adhesive layer 420 covers both the conductive foil 4111 and the brake caliper 100. By sandwiching the conductive wire 412 between the two conductive foils 4111, a stable electrical connection between the conductive wire 412 and the light-emitting structure 200 is achieved, ensuring the ease of operation in connecting the conductive wire 412 to the light-emitting structure 200, i.e., making it easier to connect the conductive wire 412 to the light-emitting structure 200.

[0057] The process steps for connecting the conductive wire 412 to the light-emitting structure 200 via two conductive foils 4111 include:

[0058] S100: One of the conductive foils 4111 is electrically connected to the light-emitting structure 200 by adhesive bonding.

[0059] S200: Use another conductive foil 4111 to attach the conductive wire 412 to the previous conductive foil 4111.

[0060] S300: Then, an adhesive layer 420 is provided to cover the outer surface of the next conductive foil 4111 and to adhere the adhesive layer 420 to the brake caliper 100.

[0061] Optionally, the conductive foil 4111 is copper foil, which has good conductivity and low cost. Of course, in other embodiments, the conductive foil 4111 can also be gold foil, silver foil, etc., and is not specifically limited here.

[0062] Optionally, the adhesive layer 420 may be an adhesive, flexible adhesive layer. Of course, in other embodiments, the adhesive layer 420 may also be an adhesive layer that needs to be cured at a set temperature or under ultraviolet light, and no specific limitation is made here.

[0063] Optionally, the end of the conductive wire 412 away from the conductive element 411 is electrically connected to the control device in a manner similar to related technologies, such as by terminal plugging, soldering, or conductive screw connection, etc., without being specifically limited here.

[0064] It should be noted that the light-emitting structure 200 has a positive electrode and a negative electrode, both of which need to be electrically connected to the control device through the electrical connection structure 300. Therefore, there can be two electrical connection structures 300, which are connected to the positive and negative electrodes respectively. The specific structures of the two electrical connection structures can be the same or different. In the case of the same structure, each electrical connection structure includes a conductive component 410 and an adhesive layer 420. The two conductive components 410 are electrically connected to the positive and negative electrodes respectively, and each conductive component 410 is connected to the brake caliper 100 through a corresponding adhesive layer 420.

[0065] Optionally, the light-emitting structure 200 includes an electroluminescent structure; the structure of the electroluminescent structure is similar to related technologies, for example, it includes: a copper backplate layer 220, a dielectric layer 230, an illumination layer 240, a conductive layer 250, and two electrical connection portions 210. The copper backplate layer 220, dielectric layer 230, illumination layer 240, and conductive layer 250 are stacked sequentially, with one electrical connection portion 210 electrically connected to the copper backplate layer 220 (i.e., one electrical connection portion 210 can also be considered as a part extending from the copper backplate layer 220), and the other electrical connection portion 210 electrically connected to the conductive layer 250 (i.e., the other electrical connection portion 210 can also be considered as a part extending from the conductive layer 250).

[0066] The two electrical connection portions 210 are positive and negative, respectively. That is, the electrical connection portion 210 connected to the copper backplate layer 220 is the positive terminal, and the electrical connection portion 210 connected to the conductive layer 250 is the negative terminal. Alternatively, the electrical connection portion 210 connected to the copper backplate layer 220 is the negative terminal, and the electrical connection portion 210 connected to the conductive layer 250 is the positive terminal.

[0067] One conductive foil 4111 of the conductive element 411 of one conductive component 410 is connected to the electrical connection portion 210, which serves as the positive electrode, and one conductive foil 4111 of the conductive element 411 of the other conductive component 410 is connected to the electrical connection portion 210, which serves as the negative electrode.

[0068] Of course, in other embodiments, the light-emitting structure 200 can also be an LED light-emitting structure, etc., and no specific limitation is made here.

[0069] It should be understood that the electrical connection structure 300 can also be other structures, as shown in the following embodiments. Please refer to... Figure 3The electrical connection structure 300 includes a first electrical connection substructure 500 and a second electrical connection substructure 600. The first electrical connection substructure 500 is connected to the brake caliper 100 and electrically connected to the light-emitting structure 200. The second electrical connection substructure 600 is detachably connected to the first electrical connection substructure 500 and is used for electrical connection with a control device, that is, the second electrical connection substructure 600 is used to enable the first electrical connection substructure 500 to be electrically connected to the control device.

[0070] The first electrical connection substructure 500, which is electrically connected to the light-emitting structure 200, is fixedly connected to the brake caliper 100. This ensures the stability of the electrical connection between the light-emitting structure 200 and the first electrical connection substructure 500, and improves the problem of arcing caused by the light-emitting structure 200 and the first electrical connection substructure 500 being prone to disconnection (i.e., unstable connection).

[0071] The first electrical connection substructure 500 and the second electrical connection substructure 600 are configured to be detachably connected, which facilitates the disconnection of the circuit between the light-emitting structure 200 and the control device by separating the first electrical connection substructure 500 and the second electrical connection substructure 600, thereby facilitating the replacement or maintenance of the light-emitting structure 200.

[0072] Alternatively, please refer to Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 The first electrical connection substructure 500 includes a first housing 510 and a first conductive element 520. The first conductive element 520 is disposed in the first housing 510, which is connected to the brake caliper 100. The first conductive element 520 is electrically connected to the light-emitting structure 200. By placing the first conductive element 520, which is electrically connected to the light-emitting structure 200, in the first housing 510 and fixing the first housing 510 to the brake caliper 100, the stability of the electrical connection between the first conductive element 520 and the light-emitting structure 200 can be improved, reducing the problem of disconnection and arcing caused by unstable connection between the first conductive element 520 and the light-emitting structure 200.

[0073] Further, please refer to Figure 6 The first electrical connection substructure 500 includes two first conductive elements 520 disposed in the first housing 510, and the two first conductive elements 520 are respectively connected to the positive and negative electrodes of the light-emitting structure 200.

[0074] It should be noted that the aforementioned fixed connection between the first housing 510 and the brake caliper 100 means that when the first housing 510 is connected to the brake caliper 100, the first housing 510 and the brake caliper 100 will not accidentally move or separate relative to each other. Specifically, the fixed connection method can refer to welding, riveting, or bolting, etc. In other words, the fixed connection in this disclosure includes both non-removable and detachable fixed connections. As long as the first housing 510 and the brake caliper 100 are connected to each other and will not accidentally move or separate relative to each other, it is considered a fixed connection.

[0075] To improve the stability of the first housing 510 connected to the brake caliper 100; please refer to Figure 7 The electrical connection structure 300 also includes fasteners 710. The first electrical connection substructure 500 is connected to the brake caliper 100 through the fasteners 710. Specifically, the first housing 510 is connected to the brake caliper 100 through the fasteners 710. The fasteners 710 include, but are not limited to, bolts and screws.

[0076] Optionally, the electrical connection structure 300 also includes a bushing 720, through which the fastener 710 is connected to the first housing 510 and then to the brake caliper 100; thus, the stability of the fastener 710 connected to the first housing 510 can be improved.

[0077] It should be noted that in this embodiment, fasteners 710 can be used to connect the first housing 510 to the brake caliper 100 to improve the stability of the connection between the first conductive component 520 and the light-emitting structure 200. Adhesive layer 420 can also be used to improve the connection stability between the conductive component 410 and the light-emitting structure 200. Both methods can achieve automated mass production, which is beneficial for improving production efficiency. Of course, other feasible solutions may be adopted in specific implementations.

[0078] Alternatively, please refer to Figure 5 The first conductive element 520 includes a conductive element body 521, an elastic element 522, and a conductive contact 523. The elastic element 522 is connected between the conductive element body 521 and the conductive contact 523. The conductive element body 521 is disposed in the first housing 510. The conductive contact 523 is electrically connected to the light-emitting structure 200. The elastic element 522 is configured to prevent the electrical connection between the conductive contact 523 and the light-emitting structure 200 from being broken. That is, under the elastic action of the elastic element 522, the conductive contact 523 can reliably abut against the electrical connection portion 210 of the light-emitting structure 200. The provision of the elastic element 522 further ensures the stability of the electrical connection between the first conductive element 520 and the light-emitting structure 200.

[0079] Optionally, the elastic element 522 is made of metal, including but not limited to a metal spring; in this way, it can be ensured that the conductive body 521 and the conductive contact 523 are reliably electrically connected through the elastic element 522, so as to ensure the reliability of the conductive path.

[0080] Optionally, the conductive contact 523 has a convex arc surface that abuts against the electrical connection portion 210 of the light-emitting structure 200. This reduces the contact resistance between the first conductive element 520 and the light-emitting structure 200, and reduces power consumption.

[0081] Of course, in other embodiments, the end of the conductive contact 523 that contacts the electrical connection portion 210 of the light-emitting structure 200 can also be toothed, flat, etc., and is not specifically limited here.

[0082] In other embodiments, the first conductive element 520 may consist only of the conductive element body 521, and the conductive element body 521 directly abuts against the electrical connection portion 210 of the light-emitting structure 200 to achieve electrical connection.

[0083] In other embodiments, the first conductive element 520 may also be connected to the electrical connection portion 210 of the light-emitting structure 200 via a copper foil. For example, the electrical connection portion 210 is connected to a copper foil, and the conductive contact 523 abuts against the copper foil.

[0084] Alternatively, please refer to Figure 5 The first conductive element 520 includes a first conductive part 5211 and a second conductive part 5212 connected at an angle. The end of the first conductive part 5211 away from the second conductive part 5212 is electrically connected to the light-emitting structure 200.

[0085] Specifically, the conductive body 521 includes a first conductive portion 5211 and a second conductive portion 5212 connected at an angle. The first conductive portion 5211 has a telescopic channel, and a conductive contact 523 is connected to the first conductive portion 5211 through an elastic member 522. The conductive contact 523 can extend from the end of the telescopic channel of the first conductive portion 5211 away from the second conductive portion 5212 under the elastic action of the elastic member 522. This configuration makes the first conductive member 520 L-shaped, which improves the shock resistance of the first conductive member 520 and ensures the stability of the electrical connection between the first conductive member 520 and the light-emitting structure 200. For example, the first conductive member 520 can be an L-shaped pin. Using a pin to achieve electrical connection with the light-emitting structure 200 can improve the problem of easy breakage of conductive wires used for electrical connection.

[0086] Furthermore, the first housing 510 includes a first sub-housing 511 and a second sub-housing 512 connected at an angle. A second conductive part 5212 is disposed on the second sub-housing 512, and at least a portion of the first conductive part 5211 is disposed on the first sub-housing 511. The first sub-housing 511 is connected to the brake caliper 100 by fasteners. This arrangement makes the first housing 510 also L-shaped, which not only makes the structure of the first housing 510 more compatible with the first conductive element 520, but also further improves shock resistance, thereby improving the reliability of the electrical connection between the first conductive element 520 and the light-emitting structure 200 and effectively reducing the generation of electric arcs.

[0087] Furthermore, the included angle between the first conductive part 5211 and the second conductive part 5212 is 90°.

The electrical connection part 210 of the light-emitting structure 200 can be electrically connected to the first conductive part 5211 at the opening of the first insertion hole 513, or can extend into the first... The insertion hole 513 is electrically connected to the first conductive part 5211; or, the conductive contact 523 does not protrude from the first sub-housing 511 from the first insertion hole 513, but only protrudes from the first insertion hole 513, that is, the conductive contact 523 is flush with the first insertion hole 513 or recessed relative to the first insertion hole 513, and the electrical connection part 210 of the light-emitting structure 200 can be electrically connected to the conductive contact 523 at the opening of the first insertion hole 513, or can extend into the first insertion hole 513 to be electrically connected to the conductive contact 523.

Of course, in other embodiments, the second conductive element 620 can also be a conductive sheet, etc., and the first conductive element 520 and the second conductive element 620 can be connected by abutting each other.

[0096] The second conductive element 620 is connected to the control device by means including but not limited to plugging or soldering it to the control device via wires.
