Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of brake caliper technology, specifically a brake caliper that is easy to install. Background Technology

[0002] The brake caliper, also known as a brake pad, is a key component of a car's braking system. Its main function is to actuate the brake pads, causing them to rub against the brake disc or drum, thus reducing vehicle speed until a stop. It receives hydraulic fluid (or high-pressure gas in air brakes) from the master cylinder, which moves an internal piston to push the brake pads. Brake calipers are classified by installation location (front and rear) and by braking type (hydraulic and air brake calipers). Their performance directly affects braking effectiveness; a high-quality brake caliper improves braking sensitivity and stability and extends service life. Regular inspection and maintenance are necessary, and sudden braking should be avoided to ensure proper functioning.

[0003] Utility model CN211809556U discloses a brake caliper, which comprises a base plate, a pump body, and a top plate. The top of the base plate has a first groove, and the bottom of the pump body is movably connected to the inner cavity of the first groove. The bottom of the top plate has a second groove, and the top of the pump body is movably connected to the inner cavity of the second groove. Both the first and second grooves have shock-absorbing pads. Threaded pipes are fixedly connected to the front and rear ends of the left and right ends of the top of the base plate. Threaded rods are rotatably connected to the left and right ends of the top of the top via bearings. This utility model solves the problem that current brake calipers are fixed with bolts, requiring tools for each use, and the bolts easily fall off the tools during rotation, making installation and disassembly inconvenient.

[0004] While the aforementioned brake caliper can be fixed by rotating the threaded rods on both sides via the throttle, the rotating plate is connected by a shaft, thus lacking anti-loosening properties. Furthermore, the inevitable vibrations generated during pump operation can easily cause the threaded rod connection to loosen, leading to the top plate applying pressure and rendering the pump's fixation ineffective. Additionally, the aforementioned fixing measures present numerous inconveniences during pump installation. If the top plate is not removed during installation, installers must lift the pump through the hole formed by the top plate and threaded rods until it is in the designated position, which is difficult. If the top plate is removed, it needs to be installed separately, and the pump remains unsupported during installation, especially when the pump is installed laterally or downwards, requiring additional support and further complicating the process. Therefore, to address these issues, a brake caliper designed for easier installation is proposed. Utility Model Content

[0005] To address the technical problems in comparative technologies, such as the lack of anti-loosening measures in the installation of brake calipers, which can easily lead to connection failure due to vibration during pump operation, and the inconvenience caused by fixing measures during pump installation, this utility model provides a brake caliper that is easy to install.

[0006] The technical solution adopted by the embodiments of this application to solve its technical problem is:

[0007] A brake caliper that is easy to install includes a mounting plate on which symmetrically arranged mounting seats are fixedly mounted, and the mounting seats have insertion slots; a pump body on which two insertion plates are fixedly mounted externally, the insertion plates being inserted into the insertion slots, wherein the insertion plates have locking slots and anti-disengagement slots; a locking mechanism mounted on the mounting seats for locking the locking slots to prevent the insertion plates from sliding out of the insertion slots; and an anti-disengagement mechanism mounted on the mounting plate for locking the anti-disengagement slots to prevent the insertion plates from sliding out of the insertion slots.

[0008] In one possible implementation, the locking mechanism includes a housing, in which a sliding rod is slidably disposed, and a wedge-shaped head is fixedly connected to the front end of the sliding rod, extending into the insertion slot, with the inclined surface of the wedge-shaped head facing upward. When the insertion plate is inserted into the insertion slot, the wedge-shaped head engages with the locking slot, and a return spring is sleeved on the sliding rod.

[0009] In one possible implementation, a pull tab is rotatably connected to the rear end of the sliding rod, and unlocking abutments are fixedly connected to both sides of the pull tab. At the same time, unlocking abutments corresponding to the unlocking abutments are fixedly provided on both the upper and lower sides of the end of the outer casing.

[0010] In one possible implementation, a limiting plate located in the housing is fixedly provided on the front side of the sliding rod, and when the limiting plate is in contact with the outer wall of the mounting base, the pull tab is in contact with the housing, at which time the front end of the wedge head does not contact the wall of the insertion slot.

[0011] In one possible implementation, the anti-detachment mechanism includes a bearing sleeve on which a rotatably connected locking rod is mounted. As a fit, the mounting base has a mating slot corresponding to the anti-detachment locking slot. When the plug plate is inserted into the plug slot, the locking rod is moved to engage with the anti-detachment locking slot and the mating slot.

[0012] In one possible implementation, the anti-disengagement mechanism further includes a mating sleeve seat, and a fixed sleeve is fixedly connected to the end of the locking rod. When the locking rod is engaged in the anti-disengagement slot and the mating slot, the fixed sleeve is located directly above the mating sleeve seat, and the two are fixedly connected by a connecting screw.

[0013] In one possible implementation, a support plate that fits the shape of the pump body is fixedly mounted on the mounting base.

[0014] In one possible implementation, mounting slots are provided at all four corners of the fixing plate, which are used to cooperate with bolts to fix the fixing plate in place.

[0015] In summary, this utility model has the following beneficial technical effects:

[0016] When installing the pump body, align the plug plate on it with the plug slot and insert it. After the plug plate is fully inserted, the locking mechanism will engage with the locking slot on the plug plate, preventing the plug plate from sliding out of the slot. This completes the fixed installation of the pump body and provides a certain degree of anti-loosening effect. In addition, to further enhance the stability of the installation, after the pump body is installed, the anti-detachment mechanism can be used to lock the anti-detachment slot, preventing the plug plate from sliding out of the slot. The above installation and stabilization measures have good anti-loosening performance and can prevent the pump body from becoming loose due to vibration during operation, thus affecting normal operation.

[0017] In addition, since the pump body is installed by simply aligning the plug plate with the plug slot and inserting it directly, the automatic connection can be completed through the snap-locking mechanism. Therefore, this installation method is extremely simple and convenient to operate, which can significantly improve installation efficiency and reduce installation difficulty. It is especially suitable for the installation of pump bodies that are not on the ground. Attached Figure Description

[0024] The technical solution in this application embodiment is to solve the problems mentioned in the background art, and the overall idea is as follows:

[0025] like Figure 1 - Figure 2 As shown, this embodiment provides a brake caliper that is easy to install, including a fixed plate 1 on which symmetrically arranged mounting seats 2 are fixedly mounted, and the mounting seats 2 have insertion slots 21; a pump body 3 on which two insertion plates 31 are fixedly mounted externally, and the insertion plates 31 are inserted into the insertion slots 21, wherein the insertion plates 31 have locking slots 32 and anti-disengagement slots 33; a locking mechanism 4, which is mounted on the mounting seats 2, is used to lock the locking slots 32 to prevent the insertion plates 31 from sliding out of the insertion slots 21; and an anti-disengagement mechanism 5, which is mounted on the fixed plate 1, is used to lock the anti-disengagement slots 33 to prevent the insertion plates 31 from sliding out of the insertion slots 21.

[0026] Based on the above technical solution, when installing the pump body 3, the plug plate 31 provided on it is aligned with the plug slot 21 and inserted. After the plug plate 31 is fully inserted, the locking mechanism 4 will engage with the locking slot 32 on the plug plate 31, so that the plug plate 31 cannot slide out of the plug slot 21, thereby completing the fixed installation of the pump body 3. This fixing method has a certain anti-loosening effect, and the above installation method is extremely simple and convenient to operate, which can significantly improve the installation efficiency and reduce the installation difficulty, and is particularly suitable for the installation of the pump body 3 that is not on the ground.

[0027] In addition, to further enhance the stability of the installation, after the pump body 3 is installed, the anti-detachment mechanism 5 can lock the anti-detachment slot 33, so that the plug plate 31 cannot slide out of the plug slot 21. The above installation and stabilization measures have good anti-loosening performance and can avoid the situation where the pump body 3 is loosened due to vibration during operation, which would affect normal operation.

[0028] To achieve the connection effect described above, for the locking mechanism 4, such as Figure 3 - Figure 4 As shown, it includes a housing 41, in which a sliding rod 43 is slidably disposed. The front end of the sliding rod 43 is fixedly connected to a wedge-shaped head 42 that extends into the insertion slot 21, with the inclined surface of the wedge-shaped head 42 facing upward. When the insertion plate 31 is inserted into the insertion slot 21, the wedge-shaped head 42 is engaged in the locking slot 32. The sliding rod 43 is fitted with a return spring 44. When the insertion plate 31 is inserted into the insertion slot 21, it will squeeze the wedge-shaped head 42 to retract inward against the thrust of the spring. When the insertion plate 31 is fully inserted, the return spring 44 will push the wedge-shaped head 42 outward to engage in the locking slot 32 of the insertion plate 31, thus completing the fixed installation of the pump body 3.

[0029] To enable quick disassembly of the pump body 3, the locking mechanism 4 needs to have an automatic disengagement function. Therefore, if... Figure 3 - Figure 4 As shown, a pull tab 45 is rotatably connected to the rear end of the sliding rod 43. Unlocking abutments 451 are fixedly connected to both sides of the pull tab 45. At the same time, unlocking tabs 452 corresponding to the unlocking abutments 451 are fixedly provided on both the upper and lower sides of the end of the housing 41. When the pull tab 45 is pulled outward and rotated so that the unlocking abutment 451 abuts against the unlocking tab 452, the wedge head 42 cannot be reset under the pushing force of the reset spring 44 due to the locking action of the unlocking abutment 451 and the unlocking tab 452. At this time, the wedge head 42 completely loses its constraint on the plug plate 31, thus facilitating the smooth removal of the pump body 3.

[0030] In addition, to prevent the wedge-shaped head 42 from impacting the insertion groove 21 and being damaged or deformed during reset under the thrust of the reset spring 44, therefore, as Figure 3 As shown, a limiting plate 46 is fixedly installed on the front side of the sliding rod 43 in the housing 41. When the limiting plate 46 is in contact with the outer wall of the mounting base 2, the pull tab 45 is in contact with the housing 41. At this time, the front end of the wedge head 42 does not contact the groove wall of the insertion groove 21. In the above structural scheme, the limiting plate 46 can withstand the impact when the return spring 44 applies the thrust, thereby protecting the wedge head 42 and the pull tab 45.

[0031] For the anti-detachment mechanism 5, such as Figure 4As shown, it includes a bearing sleeve 51 on which a rotatably connected locking rod 52 is mounted. As a fit, the mounting base 2 has a mating groove 23 corresponding to the anti-detachment groove 33. When the plug plate 31 is inserted into the plug groove 21, the locking rod 52 is moved to engage with the anti-detachment groove 33 and the mating groove 23. When the locking rod 52 is engaged with the anti-detachment groove 33 and the mating groove 23, it can provide a restraining force, so that the plug plate 31 cannot be pulled out from the plug groove 21. Moreover, since the rotation direction of the locking rod 52 is perpendicular to the pull-out direction of the plug plate 31, it can play a good role in preventing loosening.

[0032] In the above scheme, since the locking rod 52 can rotate freely, the stability of the structural connection cannot be guaranteed. Therefore, the anti-disengagement mechanism 5 also includes a mating sleeve seat 54. At the same time, a fixing sleeve 53 is fixedly connected to the end of the locking rod 52. When the locking rod 52 is locked into the anti-disengagement slot 33 and the mating slot 23, the fixing sleeve 53 is located directly above the mating sleeve seat 54. At this time, the two are fixedly connected by the connecting screw 55. The fixing sleeve 53 and the mating sleeve seat 54 can be fixed by the connecting screw 55, so that the position of the locking rod 52 can be fixed, so that it cannot rotate freely, and it can continuously lock the anti-disengagement slot 33 and the mating slot 23, so that the plug plate 31 cannot slide out of the plug slot 21.

[0033] like Figure 1 - Figure 3 As shown, a support plate 22 that fits the shape of the pump body 3 is fixedly installed on the mounting base 2. This structure can support the placed pump body 3 and thus play a protective role.

[0034] like Figure 1 - Figure 2 As shown, mounting slots 11 are provided at all four corners of the fixing plate 1, which are used to cooperate with bolts to fix the fixing plate 1. The above structure provides the necessary structural foundation for the fixed installation of the fixing plate 1.

[0035] The working principle and usage process of this utility model:

[0036] When installing the pump body 3, when the plug plate 31 is inserted into the plug slot 21, it will squeeze the wedge head 42 to retract inward against the spring's thrust. After the plug plate 31 is fully inserted, the reset spring 44 will push the wedge head 42 outward to lock it into the locking slot 32 of the plug plate 31, thus completing the fixed installation of the pump body 3. This fixing method has a certain anti-loosening effect.

[0037] In addition, to further enhance the stability of the installation, after the plug plate 31 is fully inserted into the plug slot 21 and locked in place by the wedge head 42, the lever 52 is moved to engage with the anti-loosening slot 33 and the mating slot 23. When the lever 52 engages with the anti-loosening slot 33 and the mating slot 23, it provides a restraining force, preventing the plug plate 31 from being pulled out of the plug slot 21. Moreover, since the rotation direction of the lever 52 is perpendicular to the pull-out direction of the plug plate 31, it can play a good role in preventing loosening.

[0038] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are merely examples for clearly illustrating the present invention and are not intended to limit the implementation. Those skilled in the art can make other variations or modifications based on the above description. It is neither necessary nor possible to exhaustively list all possible implementations. However, obvious variations or modifications derived therefrom are still within the protection scope of this invention.
