Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of automotive repair technology, specifically a tool for disassembling automotive brake caliper pistons. Background Technology

[0002] The brake caliper is a key component of the automotive braking system. Its main function is to convert the force of the driver pressing the brake pedal into hydraulic pressure, which pushes the brake pads against the brake disc or brake drum to achieve deceleration or stopping. It receives hydraulic oil pressure from the master cylinder, drives the internal piston to move, and then pushes the brake pads to complete the braking action.

[0003] As a key component of the braking system, the brake caliper piston often needs to be removed from the caliper cylinder body when it needs repair, seal replacement, or piston jamming. In existing technology, the brake caliper piston and cylinder body are tightly fitted. Due to the friction of the rubber seals and the residual pressure of the internal hydraulic system, traditional disassembly methods often rely on general tools such as screwdrivers and pry bars to forcibly pry it open. This method is not only inefficient but also easily damages the piston surface, the inside of the cylinder body, and the seals. Once damaged, it may lead to safety hazards such as oil leakage and reduced braking force in subsequent use of the brake caliper, seriously affecting the performance and reliability of the car's braking system and making it impractical. Therefore, it is necessary to redesign the car brake caliper piston disassembly tool to address the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0023] This utility model provides a technical solution for disassembling automotive brake caliper pistons:

[0024] Please see Figures 1-5A tool for disassembling automotive brake caliper pistons includes a workbench 1. A fixed frame 2 is fixedly mounted on the upper surface of the workbench 1. Bolts 3 are rotatably installed through both outer walls of the fixed frame 2. Clamping plates 5 are rotatably mounted at the ends of the two bolts 3 via a connecting mechanism. A movable frame 7 is fixedly mounted on the upper surface of the fixed frame 2. The outer walls of the movable frame 7 are connected to the upper surface of the fixed frame 2 via a reinforcement mechanism. A fixed plate 9 is fixedly mounted on the inner wall of the movable frame 7. A threaded rod 10 is rotatably mounted between the movable frame 7 and the fixed plate 9. A motor 11 connected to the threaded rod 10 is fixedly mounted on the bottom wall of the fixed plate 9. A limit rod 12 is fixedly mounted between the movable frame 7 and the fixed plate 9. The threaded rod 10 is threaded onto its outer wall. There is a movable sleeve 13, and a limiting rod 12 slides through the movable sleeve 13. The limiting rod 12 can restrict the movable sleeve 13, so that the movable sleeve 13 can only move axially along the outer wall of the threaded rod 10. Both outer walls of the movable sleeve 13 are fixedly installed with connecting sleeves 15 through connecting mechanisms. Connecting rods 16 are slidably installed inside the two connecting sleeves 15. Push plates 17 are fixedly installed at the ends of the two connecting rods 16. Fixing pins 18 slide through the outer walls of the two connecting sleeves 15. Insertion holes that cooperate with the fixing pins 18 on the same side are opened on the outer walls of the two connecting rods 16. Toggle blocks 19 are fixedly installed at the ends of the two fixing pins 18. The inner walls of the two toggle blocks 19 are connected to the outer walls of the connecting sleeves 15 through fixing mechanisms.

[0025] Furthermore, the connecting mechanism includes a connecting block 4 fixedly installed at the end of the bolt 3, and the inner wall of the connecting block 4 is rotatably connected to the outer wall of the clamping plate 5.

[0026] Furthermore, the reinforcement mechanism includes a reinforcing rod 8 fixedly installed on the outer wall of the movable frame 7, with the end of the reinforcing rod 8 fixedly connected to the upper end face of the fixed frame 2.

[0027] Furthermore, the connecting mechanism includes a connecting rod 14 fixedly installed on the outer wall of the movable sleeve 13, and the end of the connecting rod 14 is fixedly connected to the inside of the connecting sleeve 15.

[0028] Furthermore, the fixing mechanism includes a fixing spring 20 installed on the outer wall of the fixing pin 18. The two ends of the fixing spring 20 are elastically connected to the inner wall of the lever block 19 and the outer wall of the connecting sleeve 15, respectively. The fixing spring 20 can fix the fixing pin 18, prevent the push plate 17 from falling out of the connecting sleeve 15, and increase the fixing effect.

[0029] Furthermore, protective pads 6 are fixedly installed on the inner walls of both clamping plates 5. Both protective pads 6 are made of rubber. Rubber material has good flexibility and elasticity. When the clamping plates 5 move closer to the brake caliper under the action of the bolts 3 and finally achieve tight clamping, the protective pads 6 are the first to come into contact with the surface of the brake caliper. The softness of the rubber material can effectively prevent the clamping plates 5 from causing scratches, wear and other damage to the brake caliper housing when in rigid contact. Whether it is a metal brake caliper housing or a brake caliper with a coating or other protective treatment on the surface, the protective pads 6 can play a buffering role to ensure the integrity of its surface.

[0030] In practical use, the working principle of this utility model is as follows:

[0031] When using this automotive brake caliper piston removal tool, first place the brake caliper inside the fixed frame 2. Then, rotate the bolts 3 on both sides. Since the bolts 3 are rotatably installed through the outer walls of the fixed frame 2, the bolts 3 will move into the fixed frame 2 under the action of the threads when they rotate. The ends of the bolts 3 are rotatably connected to the clamping plates 5 through the connecting blocks 4. Therefore, when the bolts 3 move, they will drive the clamping plates 5 to move closer to the brake caliper until the rubber protective pads 6 on the inner walls of the two clamping plates 5 are tightly attached to the brake caliper, thus firmly fixing the brake caliper in the fixed frame 2. The rubber protective pads 6 can prevent damage to the surface of the brake caliper during clamping. They can increase the friction between the clamping plates 5 and the brake caliper, making the brake caliper more firmly fixed in the fixed frame 2. This effectively prevents the brake caliper from being displaced due to the reaction force during the subsequent process of the push plate 17 pushing the piston, thus ensuring that the entire disassembly work can be carried out in a stable state, further improving the reliability and safety of the tool.

[0032] After the brake caliper is fixed, the motor 11 starts and drives the threaded rod 10 to rotate between the movable frame 7 and the fixed plate 9. The movable sleeve 13 is threaded onto the outer wall of the threaded rod 10, and the limiting rod 12 slides through the movable sleeve 13. The function of the limiting rod 12 is to restrict the rotation of the movable sleeve 13, so that when the threaded rod 10 rotates, the movable sleeve 13 can only move in a straight line along the limiting rod 12 and the threaded rod 10. When the movable sleeve 13 moves, it drives the connecting sleeve 15 to move through the cooperation of the connecting rod 14. The connecting sleeve 15 then drives the push plate 17 to approach the piston of the brake caliper through the cooperation of the connecting rod 16. The motor 11 continuously drives the threaded rod 10 to rotate, causing the moving sleeve 13 to drive the push plate 17 to continue moving towards the brake caliper piston. The push plate 17 will apply a thrust to the piston, smoothly pushing the piston out of the brake caliper cylinder, thereby completing the disassembly of the brake caliper piston. This also avoids damage to the brake caliper caused by traditional disassembly methods. When the push plate 17 wears out after long-term use and needs to be replaced, the lever 19 can be moved to move the fixing pin 18 out of the insertion hole, thereby releasing the fixing of the connecting rod 16. Then the push plate 17 can be pulled out for easy replacement.

[0033] The above are merely specific embodiments of this utility model, but the technical features of this utility model are not limited thereto. Any simple changes, equivalent substitutions, or modifications made based on this utility model to solve essentially the same technical problems and achieve essentially the same technical effects are all covered within the protection scope of this utility model.
