Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of brake technology, specifically to an integrated brake caliper. Background Technology

[0002] Brake calipers are a key component of a car's braking system. Their main function is to generate braking force by clamping the brake disc, thereby slowing down or stopping the vehicle.

[0003] Existing brake calipers are of a split design, which makes assembly inconvenient. Furthermore, the two side walls of the split caliper are prone to loosening, requiring regular maintenance and inspection to ensure the safety of the equipment. This results in higher costs for daily maintenance and makes them less convenient to use. Utility Model Content

[0011] Preferably, the closing plate has an unlocking groove at the end near the first clamp body.

[0012] Preferably, the unlocking slot is hexagonal.

[0013] (III) Beneficial Effects

[0014] Compared with the prior art, the present invention provides an integrated brake caliper, which has the following advantages:

[0015] This integrated brake caliper uses casting or forging to manufacture the first caliper body, the second caliper body, and the connecting beam into a single part, eliminating the bolt connections or welding points of traditional split calipers and significantly improving overall rigidity.

[0016] The double sealing rings in the mounting groove and the machining hole form a redundant seal, effectively preventing brake fluid leakage.

[0023] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0024] Please see Figures 1-4 An integrated brake caliper includes a first caliper body 1, a second caliper body 2, and a connecting beam 3. The two sides of one end of the first caliper body 1 and the second caliper body 2 are connected by the connecting beam 3. The first caliper body 1, the second caliper body 2, and the connecting beam 3 form a U-shape. The first caliper body 1, the second caliper body 2, and the connecting beam 3 are integrally formed. The two sides of the first caliper body 1 away from the connecting beam 3 are also symmetrically provided with first connecting ears 4. The first caliper body 1 is provided with a mounting groove 7 on the side near the second caliper body 2. A first sealing ring 5 is embedded in the mounting groove 7. The second caliper body 2 is provided with a machining hole 8 that matches the mounting groove 7. A second sealing ring 6 is also embedded in the inner side of the machining hole 8.

[0025] The first clamp body 1, the second clamp body 2, and the connecting beam 3 form the caliper body. The opening of the caliper body faces the brake disc. The device can be installed in the corresponding position on the vehicle through the first connecting ear 4. The second clamp body 2 can be opened through the machining hole 8 to directly complete the machining of the mounting groove 7. The assembly of the first sealing ring 5 and the second sealing ring 6 is convenient.

[0026] As required, a hydraulic piston structure can be installed in the mounting slot 7 to push it to move towards the brake disc, so that the brake pads clamp the brake disc to generate friction and achieve vehicle deceleration. The first sealing ring 5 and the second sealing ring 6 ensure the stability of the external equipment assembly.

[0027] The integrated design of the first clamp body 1, the second clamp body 2, and the connecting beam 3 eliminates the weak connection points of traditional split calipers, resulting in a more uniform stress distribution during braking. The high-rigidity structure makes the caliper almost free of elastic deformation under force, making the braking force transmission more direct and the pedal feel more linear. The enclosed C-shaped structure is similar to the "I" beam in mechanics, which reduces weight while ensuring bending stiffness and effectively resists bending moment and torque during braking.

[0028] In this embodiment, the second clamp body 2 is provided with a threaded groove 9 on the side away from the first clamp body 1. The machining hole 8 passes through the threaded groove 9. The threaded groove 9, the machining hole 8, and the mounting groove 7 are arranged concentrically. The second clamp body 2 is also provided with a closing plate 10. The closing plate 10 is threadedly connected to the threaded groove 9 and connected to the second clamp body 2 through the threaded groove 9. The detachable closing plate 10 allows machining of the mounting groove 7 without disassembling the entire clamp: internal machining is performed through the through machining hole 8; piston or sealing ring replacement: the hydraulic cavity components can be directly operated by opening the closing plate 10. It is compatible with standard tools (such as hex wrenches) and unlocking groove 12, which facilitates the disassembly and assembly of the closing plate 10 and improves maintenance efficiency.

[0029] In this embodiment, the first clamp body 1 and the second clamp body 2 are also provided with a second connecting ear 11. The second connecting ear 11 is disposed between the two sets of connecting beams 3. The first connecting ear 4 and the second connecting ear 11 provide a standardized interface, simplifying the assembly process of the caliper and the suspension, and reducing the complexity of production and maintenance.

[0030] In this embodiment, the first clamp body 1 is provided with a plurality of first reinforcing ribs 13 on the side away from the second clamp body 2, and the second clamp body 2 is provided with a plurality of second reinforcing ribs 14 on the side away from the first clamp body 1. The second reinforcing ribs 14 are provided on the periphery of the closing plate 10, which increases the caliper surface area, accelerates the dissipation of heat generated by braking, reduces the risk of heat decay, and enhances the caliper's resistance to deformation, especially maintaining geometric stability under high temperature and high pressure conditions.
