Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of heat dissipation structure for automotive brake calipers, and more specifically, to an automotive brake caliper with good heat dissipation. Background Technology
[0002] The brake caliper is the core actuator of the disc brake system. Its function is to convert hydraulic energy into mechanical friction force to slow down or stop the vehicle.
[0003] Currently, most commonly used automotive brake calipers are made of cast aluminum alloy or cast iron, which not only have poor heat conduction but are also heavy. For example, an automotive brake caliper disclosed in publication number CN 220302593 U includes a caliper body with a brake chamber. The caliper body has an opening slot that is easy to observe and communicates with the brake chamber. The caliper body is provided with a stabilizing unit connected to the opening slot to enhance the connection stability.
[0004] As can be seen from the above-disclosed scheme, the brake chamber of the car brake caliper is located inside the caliper, and the airflow and heat dissipation effect inside the opening slot is poor, which reduces the heat dissipation effect of the car brake caliper. In addition, the car brake caliper is made of commonly used cast aluminum alloy or cast iron. The thermal conductivity of cast aluminum alloy or cast iron may not meet people's usage needs, and it is also heavy. Utility Model Content
[0005] To address the problems existing in the prior art, the purpose of this utility model is to provide an automotive brake caliper with good heat dissipation. This automotive brake caliper with good heat dissipation has a hollow structure in the brake caliper body through the setting of heat dissipation holes, a first air guide hole and a second air guide hole, which greatly improves the air guiding and heat dissipation effect of the brake caliper body. In addition, the first caliper shell and the second caliper shell are made of forged aluminum alloy and are reinforced by reinforcing plates and reinforcing strips. Without reducing the structural strength, the heat conduction effect of the brake caliper body is greatly reduced and the weight of the brake caliper body is reduced.
[0006] To solve the above problems, the present invention adopts the following technical solution.
[0007] A high-heat-dissipation automotive brake caliper includes a brake caliper body, comprising a first caliper shell and a second caliper shell. The first and second caliper shells enclose an opening groove, the inner wall of which has heat dissipation holes. Reinforcing strips are fixedly connected to the end faces of the first and second caliper shells. Mounting plates are fixedly connected to the outer surfaces of both the first and second caliper shells. A fixing plate is fixedly connected to the surface of the first caliper shell. Air guiding structures are provided on the surfaces of the first and second caliper shells. This high-heat-dissipation automotive brake caliper, through the heat dissipation holes, the first air guiding hole, and the second air guiding hole, creates a hollow structure in the brake caliper body, greatly improving the air guiding and heat dissipation effect. Furthermore, the first and second caliper shells are made of forged aluminum alloy and reinforced by reinforcing plates and strips, significantly reducing the heat conduction of the brake caliper body and its weight without compromising structural strength.
[0008] Furthermore, the air guiding structure includes a first air guiding hole and a second air guiding hole, both of which are located on the sides of the first caliper housing and the second caliper housing. The first air guiding hole is a honeycomb hole, and the second air guiding hole is a strip hole. The first air guiding hole and the second air guiding hole make the first caliper housing and the second caliper housing have a hollow structure, which increases the air guiding and heat dissipation effect.
[0009] Furthermore, the first caliper housing is made of forged aluminum alloy, and a first connecting part is provided on the side of the first caliper housing. A plug is fixedly connected to one end of the first connecting part. The first caliper housing and the second caliper housing are made of the same material, which has good heat conduction effect and can conduct the heat generated by the friction of the brake pads to the caliper body more quickly.
[0010] Furthermore, the second caliper housing is made of forged aluminum alloy, and a second connecting part is provided on the side of the second caliper housing. One end of the second connecting part has a slot, and the slot and the insert are movably connected to facilitate the pre-positioning of the first caliper housing and the second caliper housing during installation.
[0011] Furthermore, the surface of the mounting plate is provided with three reinforcing plates, which are arranged in a fan shape. The reinforcing plates and the mounting plate are made of forged aluminum alloy. The reinforcing plates can increase the installation firmness between the mounting plate and the caliper housing, and at the same time improve the strength of the caliper housing.
[0012] Furthermore, the surface of the fixing plate has fixing holes, which are strip-shaped and facilitate position adjustment during the installation of automotive brake calipers.
[0013] Furthermore, the surface of the mounting plate has a first mounting hole and a second mounting hole.
[0014] Compared with existing technologies, the advantages of this utility model are:
[0015] (1) This solution makes the brake caliper body hollow by setting heat dissipation holes, first air guide holes and second air guide holes, which greatly improves the air guiding and heat dissipation effect of the brake caliper body.
[0016] (2) The first and second caliper housings of this scheme are made of forged aluminum alloy and reinforced by reinforcing plates and reinforcing strips. Without reducing the structural strength, the heat conduction effect of the brake caliper body is greatly reduced and the weight of the brake caliper body is reduced. Attached Figure Description

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.
[0025] Example 1: Please refer to Figure 1-5A type of automotive brake caliper with good heat dissipation includes a brake caliper body 1. The brake caliper body 1 includes a first caliper housing 2 and a second caliper housing 3. The first caliper housing 2 and the second caliper housing 3 enclose an opening groove 11. The inner wall of the opening groove 11 has heat dissipation holes 12, which facilitate ventilation and heat dissipation at the bottom of the opening groove 11, thus improving the heat dissipation effect. Reinforcing strips 13 are fixedly connected to the end faces of the first caliper housing 2 and the second caliper housing 3. The reinforcing strips 13 are located between adjacent heat dissipation holes 12, which can increase the strength of the brake caliper body 1. Mounting plates are fixedly connected to the outer surfaces of both the first caliper housing 2 and the second caliper housing 3. 4. Mounting plate 4 is made of the same material as caliper housing. Mounting plate 4 is used to mount hydraulic cylinder and brake pads. Fixing plate 5 is fixedly connected to the surface of first caliper housing 2. Air guiding structure is provided on the surface of first caliper housing 2 and second caliper housing 3. The air guiding structure includes first air guiding hole 21 and second air guiding hole 22. First air guiding hole 21 and second air guiding hole 22 are both provided on the side of first caliper housing 2 and second caliper housing 3. First air guiding hole 21 is a honeycomb hole and second air guiding hole 22 is a strip hole. First air guiding hole 21 and second air guiding hole 22 make first caliper housing 2 and second caliper housing 3 a hollow structure, which increases the air guiding and heat dissipation effect.
[0026] The first caliper housing 2 is made of forged aluminum alloy. A first connecting part 23 is provided on the side of the first caliper housing 2. A plug block 24 is fixedly connected to one end of the first connecting part 23. The first caliper housing 2 and the second caliper housing 3 are made of the same material, which has good heat conduction effect and can conduct the heat generated by the friction of the brake pads to the caliper body more quickly. The second caliper housing 3 is made of forged aluminum alloy. A second connecting part 31 is provided on the side of the second caliper housing 3. A slot 32 is opened at one end of the second connecting part 31. The slot 32 and the plug block 24 are movably connected to facilitate the pre-positioning of the first caliper housing 2 and the second caliper housing 3 during installation.
[0027] The surface of the mounting plate 4 is provided with three reinforcing plates 43, which are arranged in a fan shape. The reinforcing plates 43 and the mounting plate 4 are made of forged aluminum alloy. The reinforcing plates 43 can increase the installation firmness between the mounting plate 4 and the caliper housing, and at the same time improve the strength of the caliper housing. The surface of the fixing plate 5 has fixing holes 51. The fixing holes 51 are strip-shaped. The strip-shaped fixing holes 51 facilitate the position adjustment when installing the car brake caliper. The surface of the mounting plate 4 has a first mounting hole 41 and a second mounting hole 42.
[0028] During use, the automotive brake caliper with excellent heat dissipation, made of forged aluminum alloy, has a higher thermal conductivity than ordinary cast aluminum alloy or cast iron. This allows it to conduct the heat generated by the friction of the brake pads to the caliper body more quickly. The heat dissipation holes 12, the first air guide hole 21, and the second air guide hole 22 create a hollow structure for the brake caliper body 1, increasing ventilation and heat dissipation. This significantly improves the heat dissipation effect of the brake caliper body 1. Furthermore, the forged aluminum alloy for the first caliper shell 2 and the second caliper shell 3, reinforced by the reinforcing plate 43 and the reinforcing strip 13, greatly reduces the heat conduction of the brake caliper body 1 and its weight without compromising structural strength.
