Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of disc brake technology, specifically an integrated sensor disc brake. Background Technology
[0002] In modern transportation, disc brakes, with their efficient and stable braking performance, have become a key component of the braking system for various vehicles. Disc brakes achieve vehicle deceleration and braking through the friction generated between the brake pads and the rotating brake disc, reliably ensuring vehicle safety under normal operating conditions.
[0003] However, the operating environment of vehicles is complex and varied. When a vehicle is parked in an area with a lot of sand and dust, fine sand and gravel can easily adhere to the surface of the brake discs. Once the vehicle is started again and braking is performed, this sand and gravel will get stuck between the brake pads and the brake discs. This will not only accelerate the wear of the brake pads and brake discs, leading to a significant reduction in their lifespan, but will also cause abnormal noise and vibration during braking, reducing the driving experience. Moreover, the presence of sand and gravel will cause uneven distribution of braking friction, affecting the smoothness and accuracy of braking.
[0004] When a vehicle is in a wet environment, water droplets forming on the brake discs can also cause serious problems. These droplets create a film of water between the brake pads and the brake disc, significantly reducing the friction between them. During emergency braking, this decrease in friction leads to a substantial increase in braking distance, making it difficult to stop the vehicle in time and greatly increasing the risk of traffic accidents, seriously threatening the lives of drivers and passengers.
[0005] Although disc brake discs are crucial for vehicle braking, existing technologies are significantly inadequate in addressing the effects of sand and humid environments on them. Currently, there are no effective solutions to prevent sand and water droplets from damaging disc brake disc performance, which has become a bottleneck restricting the further development and widespread application of disc brake discs, urgently requiring innovation and breakthroughs in related technologies.
[0006] Therefore, we proposed an integrated sensor disc brake to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content
[0007] (a) Technical problems to be solved
[0008] In view of the shortcomings of the prior art, this utility model provides an integrated sensing disc brake disc to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.
[0009] (II) Technical Solution
[0010] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: an integrated sensor disc brake disc, including a disc, on which an mounting component is fixedly installed, and a brake caliper is provided on one side of the disc.
[0011] Preferably, the brake caliper has symmetrical sliding square grooves, a guide rod is fixedly connected in the sliding square groove, and an L-shaped slider is slidably connected on the guide rod.
[0012] Preferably, the outer end of the L-shaped slider is fixedly connected to a U-shaped clip, and the U-shaped clip has a vertical slot.
[0013] Preferably, an mounting plate is slidably connected in the vertical slot, and a wiping plate is fixedly connected to the mounting plate.
[0014] Preferably, a spring is fixedly connected to one side of the L-shaped slider, the spring is sleeved on the guide post, an insertion piece is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the L-shaped slider, and a first electric contact strip is fixedly connected to the outer end of the insertion piece.
[0015] Preferably, a square shell is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the sliding square groove, and a second electric contact strip is fixedly connected inside the square shell.
[0016] (III) Beneficial Effects
[0017] Compared with the prior art, this utility model provides an integrated sensing disc brake disc, which has the following advantages:
[0018] 1. This utility model, through the design of the overall device, provides several beneficial effects on the use of brake discs:
[0019] Improve braking performance and ensure stable friction: It can promptly remove sand, water droplets, dust and debris from the brake disc, keeping the friction between the brake pads and the disc stable; during braking, it can ensure uniform and sufficient braking force, making the brake response more sensitive and shortening the braking distance. Especially in emergency braking situations, it can effectively avoid braking delay caused by debris and reduce the risk of accidents.
[0020] Reduce brake vibration: The presence of debris can cause uneven force on the surface of the brake disc, resulting in vibration during braking; this cleaning device can keep the disc surface clean and flat, so that the brake pads of the brake caliper make even contact with the disc, thereby reducing vibration during braking and improving braking smoothness and comfort.
[0021] Extending component lifespan and reducing wear: Gravel and other hard debris on brake discs can scrape the brake pads of the discs and calipers like sandpaper during braking, accelerating their wear. The cleaning device can remove these wear sources in advance, effectively reducing the wear rate of the discs and brake pads, extending their lifespan, reducing replacement frequency, and lowering vehicle maintenance costs.
[0022] Preventing component corrosion: In humid environments, water droplets on brake discs can easily cause rust and corrosion if not removed in time, thus affecting their structural strength and braking performance. Cleaning can remove water droplets from the disc surface, reduce the contact time between water and the disc, prevent corrosion, and protect the integrity and performance of the brake discs.
[0023] 2. The beneficial effects of this utility model in detecting the deformability of brake discs through the design of the L-shaped sliding member, the first electrical contact strip, and the second electrical contact strip are as follows:
[0024] Ensuring braking stability: Once the brake disc is deformed, the contact between the brake pads and the disc will be uneven, resulting in an unbalanced distribution of braking force. Deformation detection can detect the deformation of the disc in time and take measures before the degree of disc deformation affects braking stability, ensuring that the vehicle decelerates smoothly during braking, preventing dangerous situations such as the vehicle veering or fishtailing during braking, and greatly improving driving safety.
[0025] Extending the life of the braking system: Uneven stress will accelerate the wear of brake pads on brake calipers. At the same time, deformed discs will generate additional stress on wheel hubs and other components during operation, affecting the life of these components. By detecting deformation, the condition of the disc can be known in advance, and deformed discs can be replaced or repaired in time. This can avoid excessive wear on other components of the braking system caused by disc problems, thereby extending the service life of the entire braking system and reducing vehicle maintenance costs.
[0026] Precise vehicle performance assessment: For high-performance vehicles, such as race cars and high-performance sports cars, even slight deformation of the brake discs can affect their racing performance; deformation detection provides key data for vehicle performance assessment, helping drivers and technicians to adjust the braking system in a timely manner to ensure that the vehicle maintains optimal performance under various operating conditions.

[0036] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.
[0037] Example
[0038] Please refer to Figures 1 to 6 As shown:
[0039] An integrated sensor disc brake includes a disc 1, a mounting component 2 fixedly mounted on the disc 1, a brake caliper 3 disposed on one side of the disc 1, a sliding square groove 4 symmetrically formed on the brake caliper 3, a guide rod 5 fixedly connected inside the sliding square groove 4, an L-shaped slider 6 slidably connected to the guide rod 5, a U-shaped clip 7 fixedly connected to the outer end of the L-shaped slider 6, a vertical slot 8 formed on the U-shaped clip 7, a mounting piece 9 slidably connected inside the vertical slot 8, a wiping piece 10 fixedly connected to the mounting piece 9, a spring 11 fixedly connected to one side of the L-shaped slider 6, the spring 11 being sleeved on the guide rod 5, an insertion piece 12 fixedly connected to the bottom end of the L-shaped slider 6, a first electrical contact strip 13 fixedly connected to the outer end of the insertion piece 12, a square shell 14 fixedly connected to the inner wall of the sliding square groove 4, and a second electrical contact strip 15 fixedly connected inside the square shell 14.
[0040] in:
[0041] Mounting piece 9 slides to fit into vertical slot 8.
[0042] The wiping pad 10 is mainly used to wipe away dust and moisture on the disc 1, so as to prevent brake failure caused by impurities when the brake caliper 3 applies the brakes to the disc 1.
[0043] There is an electrical connection between the first electrical contact 13 and the second electrical contact 15. When the first electrical contact 13 and the second electrical contact 15 come into contact, the externally connected warning device will issue a warning.
[0044] Working principle:
[0045] In the initial state: the spring 11 is not compressed, and the wiping pad 10 is in close contact with the disc 1.
[0046] It should be noted that the wiping pad 10 can be replaced and cleaned. The specific operation is to remove the mounting piece 9 that is inserted into the vertical slot 8 on the U-shaped card 7.
[0047] When the vehicle brakes, the disc 1 moves relative to the wiping pad 10 on the mounting plate 9. During this movement, the wiping pad 10 effectively cleans the surface of the disc 1, thereby assisting the brake pads of the brake caliper 3 to brake effectively.
[0048] Furthermore, if the disc 1 deforms during braking, the disc 1 will slide on the guide post 5 via the wiping plate 10 and the U-shaped clip 7. During the sliding, the spring 11 is compressed, and the insert plate 12 fixedly connected to the L-shaped slider 6 will move towards the square shell 14 with the first electric contact strip 13. During the movement, the insert plate 12 will eventually move into the square shell 14 with the first electric contact strip 13 and make contact with the second electric contact strip 15 provided in the square shell 14. At this time, the warning device that has an electrical connection with the first electric contact strip 13 and the second electric contact strip 15 will issue a warning to remind that the disc 1 has undergone slight deformation and needs to be dealt with in time.
[0049] Furthermore, through the design of the overall device, the braking performance of the brake disc 1 can be improved during use, ensuring stable friction; it can promptly remove sand, water droplets, dust and debris from the brake disc 1, keeping the friction between the brake pads of the brake caliper 3 and the disc 1 stable; during braking, it can ensure uniform and sufficient braking force, making the braking response more sensitive and shortening the braking distance. Especially in emergency braking situations, it can effectively avoid braking delay caused by debris and reduce the risk of accidents.
[0050] Reduce brake vibration: The presence of debris can cause uneven force on the surface of the brake disc 1, resulting in vibration during braking; this cleaning device can keep the surface of the disc 1 clean and flat, so that the brake pads of the brake caliper 3 can make uniform contact with the disc 1, thereby reducing vibration during braking and improving braking smoothness and comfort.
[0051] Extending component lifespan and reducing wear: Gravel and other hard debris on the brake disc 1 will scrape the brake pads of the disc 1 and brake caliper 3 like sandpaper during braking, accelerating the wear of both; the cleaning device can remove these wear sources in advance, effectively reducing the wear rate of the brake pads of the disc 1 and brake caliper 3, extending their lifespan, reducing the replacement frequency, and reducing vehicle maintenance costs.
[0052] Preventing component corrosion: In humid environments, if water droplets on the brake disc 1 are not removed in time, the disc 1 is prone to rust and corrosion, which will affect its structural strength and braking performance. Cleaning can remove water droplets from the surface of the disc 1, reduce the contact time between water and the disc 1, prevent corrosion, and protect the integrity and performance of the brake disc 1.
[0053] Furthermore, the design of the L-shaped slider 6, the first electrical contact strip 13, and the second electrical contact strip 15 allows for deformation detection of the brake disc 1, ensuring braking stability. Once the brake disc 1 deforms, the contact between the brake pads of the brake caliper 3 and the disc 1 will be uneven, leading to an imbalance in the distribution of braking force. Deformation detection can promptly identify the deformation of the disc 1 and take measures before the degree of deformation affects braking stability, ensuring smooth deceleration of the vehicle during braking and preventing dangerous situations such as vehicle deviation or fishtailing during braking, thus significantly improving driving safety.
[0054] Extending the life of the braking system: Uneven stress will accelerate the wear of the brake pads of the brake caliper 3. At the same time, the deformed disc 1 will generate additional stress on the wheel hub and other components during operation, affecting the life of these components. By detecting the deformation, the condition of the disc 1 can be known in advance, and the deformed disc 1 can be replaced or repaired in time. This can avoid excessive wear of other components of the braking system caused by the problem of the disc 1, thereby extending the service life of the entire braking system and reducing vehicle maintenance costs.
[0055] Precise vehicle performance assessment: For high-performance vehicles, such as race cars and high-performance sports cars, even slight deformation of the brake disc 1 can affect its racing performance; deformation detection provides key data for vehicle performance assessment, helping drivers and technicians to adjust the braking system in a timely manner to ensure that the vehicle maintains optimal performance under various operating conditions.
