Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of brake pad technology, specifically a stable mounting structure for brake pads. Background Technology

[0002] Brake pads, also known as brake shoes, are the core components of a vehicle's braking system that directly contact the brake disc or brake drum. They convert the vehicle's kinetic energy into heat through friction, ultimately achieving deceleration or stopping the vehicle. Essentially a "friction actuator," they must simultaneously meet three core requirements: stable friction performance, resistance to high-temperature wear, and reliable structural strength. They are critical consumable parts that ensure vehicle braking safety.

[0003] However, the existing stable installation structure of brake pads usually involves mounting the brake pads on the brake backing plate, which is typically a flat structure. Under high temperatures during braking, the backing plate is prone to bending and deformation, resulting in uneven contact between the brake pads and the brake disc, thus affecting the service life of the brake pads. To address this issue, we propose a stable installation structure for brake pads. Utility Model Content

[0004] In view of the shortcomings of the prior art, the present invention provides a stable mounting structure for brake pads to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a stable installation structure for brake pads, comprising a brake backplate, wherein snap-fit ​​plates are integrally formed on both sides of the brake backplate, snap-fit ​​connectors are integrally formed on both sides of the snap-fit ​​plates, reinforcing ribs and honeycomb openings are integrally formed on the front side of the brake backplate, a bottom layer is installed on the front side of the reinforcing ribs and honeycomb openings, a brake pad body is fixedly connected to the front side of the bottom layer, a brake pad is fixedly connected to the back side of the brake pad body, and an opening is provided on the back side of the brake pad.

[0006] Preferably, there are multiple honeycomb openings, all of which are the same size and are divided into four groups.

[0007] Preferably, there are two snap-fit ​​plates, which are arranged symmetrically.

[0008] Preferably, the edge of the brake backplate is designed with a rounded transition shape, and the brake backplate is a solid structure.

[0009] Preferably, the front side of the brake pad body is provided with a drain groove, and there are three drain grooves, which are arranged at equal intervals.

[0010] Preferably, the brake pad is made of metal and has a smooth outer surface.

[0011] This utility model provides a stable mounting structure for brake pads, which has the following beneficial effects:

[0012] This type of brake pad features a robust installation structure with reinforcing ribs and honeycomb openings. During brake pad production, the bottom layer is positioned on the front of the brake backing plate, and the brake pad body is then firmly fixed to the bottom layer. The surface of the brake backing plate is also equipped with reinforcing ribs and honeycomb openings. The reinforcing ribs enhance the rigidity of the brake backing plate, while the honeycomb openings disperse stress, allowing stress to be transferred across the entire brake backing plate. Furthermore, the edges of the brake backing plate are designed with rounded transitions to prevent stress concentration at the edges. This structural design prevents the brake pads from bending and deforming under the high temperature of the brake backing plate during braking, ensuring uniform contact between the brake pads and the brake disc, and extending the service life of the brake pads.

[0018] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the present utility model without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0019] Please see Figure 1-4This utility model provides a technical solution: a stable installation structure for brake pads, including a brake back plate 1, with snap-fit ​​plates 2 integrally formed on both sides of the brake back plate 1, snap-fit ​​connectors 3 integrally formed on both sides of the snap-fit ​​plates 2, reinforcing ribs 7 and honeycomb openings 8 integrally formed on the front of the brake back plate 1, a bottom layer 4 installed on the front of the reinforcing ribs 7 and honeycomb openings 8, a brake pad body 5 fixedly connected to the front of the bottom layer 4, a brake pad 9 fixedly connected to the back of the brake pad body 5, and an opening 10 provided on the back of the brake pad 9.

[0020] Furthermore, multiple honeycomb openings 8 are provided, and the multiple honeycomb openings 8 are the same size. The multiple honeycomb openings 8 are divided into four groups. By utilizing the honeycomb openings 8, the stress can be dispersed.

[0021] Furthermore, there are two snap-fit ​​plates 2, which are symmetrically arranged, making it easier for workers to install the brake components onto the brake calipers.

[0022] Furthermore, the edge of the brake backplate 1 is designed with a rounded transition shape. The brake backplate 1 is a solid structure, and the edge of the brake backplate 1 is designed with a rounded transition shape to avoid stress concentration at the edge.

[0023] Furthermore, the front of the brake pad body 5 is provided with a drain groove 6. There are three drain grooves 6, which are arranged at equal intervals. The drain grooves 6 allow the brake pad body 5 to quickly discharge friction powder when braking.

[0024] Furthermore, the brake pad 9 is made of metal material, and the outer surface of the brake pad 9 is smooth. The brake pad 9 made of metal material is more robust and durable and less prone to damage.

[0025] Working principle: After the utility model is installed, first check the installation, fixation, and safety protection of the utility model. When producing brake pads, the workers place the bottom interlayer 4 on the front of the brake back plate 1, and then firmly fix the brake pad body 5 to the bottom interlayer 4. Since the surface of the brake back plate 1 is provided with reinforcing ribs 7 and honeycomb openings 8, the reinforcing ribs 7 enhance the hardness of the brake back plate 1, and the honeycomb openings 8 can disperse stress, so that the stress can be transferred to the entire brake back plate 1. The edge of the brake back plate 1 is designed as a rounded transition shape to avoid stress concentration at the edge. This completes the use of the utility model. The utility model has a simple structure and is safe and convenient to use.
