Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The utility model belongs to new energy automobile brake system technical field, concretely relates to an electronic power brake transmission rack. BACKGROUND

[0002] The electronic power brake rack is an important component of the electronic power brake system of a new energy automobile. It monitors the vehicle state and the braking intention of the driver in real time through an electronic control unit (ECU) and drives an electric motor or a hydraulic pump to provide power assistance for the brake system. This design aims to improve the accuracy, response speed, and driving comfort of braking while reducing energy consumption and emissions. The electronic power brake system is one of the core components of a new energy automobile. It monitors the vehicle state and the braking intention of the driver in real time through an electronic control unit (ECU) and drives the actuator to provide precise power assistance.

[0003] Traditional transmission racks are mostly solid structures, which have the following defects: 1. Heavy weight: The solid design makes the components heavy, increasing the energy consumption of the whole vehicle and not meeting the lightweight requirements of new energy vehicles. 2. Poor wear resistance: The rack and the transmission teeth are in long-term engagement, which is easy to wear and produce noise, affecting the driving comfort and the service life of the components. 3. Low transmission efficiency: The insufficient precision of the tooth design leads to a delay in the response of the braking force, affecting the safety of braking. 4. Complex installation: The traditional rack structure is redundant and has poor compatibility with surrounding components, increasing the assembly cost.

[0004] Although the existing technology improvement scheme such as the vacuum power pump can partially improve the braking efficiency, it still cannot solve the problems of lightweight and noise. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a transmission rack that has the advantages of lightweight, high wear resistance, low noise, and high transmission efficiency. UTILITY MODEL CONTENTS

[0005] To solve the problems in the above background technology, the utility model aims to provide a transmission rack for an electronic power brake that has the advantages of lightweight, high wear resistance, low noise, and high transmission efficiency.

[0006] To achieve the above technical purpose, the utility model adopts the following technical scheme:

[0007] An electronic power brake transmission rack includes a transmission rack body, a hollow structure, a transmission tooth, and a wear-resistant block. The transmission rack body has a hollow structure inside. The hollow structure penetrates the transmission rack body and forms a weight reduction cavity inside. The tooth surface of the transmission tooth is provided with grinding lines. The back of the transmission rack body is provided with a groove. The groove is embedded with a wear-resistant block.

[0008] Further limited, the groove and the wear-resistant block are in interference fit. This structure design can ensure the stability of the overall structure.

[0009] Further limited, the tooth profile of the transmission tooth is an involute structure, and the grinding trace is a spiral shape. Such a structural design reduces friction resistance and improves transmission efficiency.

[0010] Further limited, the cross section of the hollow structure is an ellipse or a rectangle, and the cavity wall thickness of the hollow structure is 1.5-2.5mm. Such a structural design reduces the weight of the part through the weight reduction cavity formed by the hollow structure.

[0011] Further limited, the wear-resistant block is made of silicon carbide ceramic or silicon nitride composite material, and the hardness is greater than or equal to 90HRA. Such a structural design can improve wear resistance and reduce meshing noise.

[0012] Further limited, the transmission rack body is made of medium carbon steel.

[0013] Further limited, the roughness Ra of the grinding trace is less than or equal to 0.4μm.

[0014] The beneficial effects of the utility model are as follows:

[0015] 1. Light weight: the hollow structure greatly reduces the weight of the rack, reduces the energy consumption of the whole vehicle, and realizes the light weight of the part.

[0016] 2. Low noise: the wear-resistant block is embedded in the groove in the back of the rack, and high-hardness composite material is used to improve wear resistance and reduce meshing noise. Meanwhile, the wear-resistant block also cooperates with the grinding trace to further reduce the running noise.

[0017] 3. High transmission efficiency: the involute tooth profile design shortens the brake response time, realizes the rapid response and precise control of the braking force.

[0018] 4. Easy assembly: the modular design is suitable for various brake systems, and the installation efficiency is improved.

[0019] In summary, the utility model provides an electronic power brake transmission rack which has the advantages of light weight, high wear resistance, low noise and high transmission efficiency. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF DRAWINGS
