Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of automotive brake pads, and more specifically, to an automotive drum brake pad with improved stability. Background Technology

[0002] The braking system of an automobile is also known as the vehicle braking device. Its functions are: to force a moving vehicle to decelerate or even stop as required by the driver; to keep a stopped vehicle stable under various road conditions, including on slopes; and to maintain a stable speed for a vehicle traveling downhill. Current automobile braking systems use drum brakes, which offer better braking force than disc brakes.

[0003] The utility model with authorization announcement number CN 206265014 U relates to the field of automotive braking device technology, and in particular to a novel automotive drum brake device. This novel automotive drum brake device includes a brake cavity composed of a brake drum and a brake backing plate. The brake cavity houses automotive drum brake pads. The device also includes a drive unit comprising a brake pedal, on which a push rod, a master cylinder piston, a master cylinder, an oil pipe, and a brake wheel cylinder are sequentially connected. The brake wheel cylinder houses a wheel cylinder piston, with both ends of the piston connected to the automotive drum brake pads. The wheel cylinder is installed within the brake cavity. This utility model has a simple structure, uses arc-shaped brake shoes, requires fewer parts, is easy to install, reduces costs, saves resources, improves braking performance, and reduces weight, thus lowering fuel consumption. Furthermore, the use of non-uniform thickness friction pads allows it to withstand greater pressure, alters vibration transmission, and significantly improves the noise level during braking.

[0004] In the aforementioned disclosed structure, an integrated brake pad structure is used to position the brake pads on the brake plate. However, the lack of a hinged arc plate for positioning the brake pads results in a smaller travel distance for overturning braking. Furthermore, the lack of an internal skeleton plate to increase strength means that the brake pads cannot be forced to brake after wear, leading to poor stability. This situation needs to be improved. Utility Model Content

[0005] To address the problems existing in the prior art, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a car drum brake pad with improved stability. It is connected to the brake drum via a base plate, allowing for combined installation and rotational adjustment.
