Description

Technical Field

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

[0002] Brake pads, also known as brake discs, are a key safety component in a car's braking system. They are typically composed of a steel plate, an adhesive heat insulation layer, and friction pads. The friction pads are made of friction materials and adhesives, and require processes such as pressing, sintering, or bonding to be manufactured before being installed in the brake caliper. They generate resistance through friction, enabling the car to slow down or stop, ensuring the driver's safety.

[0003] In the existing technology, the process of installing brake pads into calipers is relatively complicated, making it inconvenient to quickly install and remove brake pads. At the same time, due to the influence of machining precision, the contact surface between the friction pad and the brake disc of many brake pads may not be able to maintain a parallel state. Therefore, when the brake is pressed, the friction pad cannot rub evenly against the contact surface of the brake disc. Over time, this can easily cause severe wear in some areas of the friction pad, affecting the service life and performance of the brake pad.

[0004] Therefore, there is a need for a type of brake pad that is easy to install into the caliper, in order to solve the problems in the existing technology where the process of installing brake pads into the caliper is relatively complicated and the friction pads have a short service life due to uneven contact between the friction pads and the brake disc. Utility Model Content

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a brake pad that is easy to install into a caliper, comprising a caliper body, a mounting bracket installed inside the caliper body, a brake pad base plate installed on the mounting bracket, and a friction block movably installed on the brake pad base plate. The mounting bracket is provided with a mounting mechanism for installing the brake pad base plate, and the brake pad base plate is provided with a balancing component for improving the performance of the friction block. The mounting mechanism includes a slot on the mounting frame, a plug that can be movably inserted into the slot, a locking hole on the plug for limiting the position of the plug, a limiting groove in the slot for engaging with the locking hole, a locking rod that can be movably inserted into the locking hole, a screw rotatably connected to the locking rod for moving the locking rod, and a nut rotatably mounted on the mounting frame for driving the screw to move.

[0007] It should be noted in the solution that the balancing assembly includes an oblique groove on the brake pad base plate, two mounting holes on the brake pad base plate, a connecting arm rotatably mounted in the oblique groove for moving the friction block, and two support springs fixedly connected in the two mounting holes for supporting the friction block.

[0008] It is worth noting that the friction block has two mounting holes corresponding to the two mounting holes, and the friction block also has a groove.

[0009] Furthermore, it should be noted that the mounting bracket is fixedly connected to two positioning rods for positioning the brake pad base plate, and positioning rings are movably sleeved on the outer surfaces of the two positioning rods.

[0010] In a preferred embodiment, the insert block is fixedly connected to the brake pad base plate, and the limiting groove is adapted to the locking rod.

[0011] In a preferred embodiment, the connecting arm is connected to the friction block, the two support springs are respectively fixedly connected to the interior of the two mounting holes, and the two positioning rings are fixedly connected to the brake pad base plate.

[0012] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are: 1.

[0016] 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.

[0017] Example: Figures 1-4 As shown, this utility model provides a technical solution, including a caliper body 1, a mounting bracket 2 installed in the caliper body 1, a brake pad base plate 4 installed on the mounting bracket 2, and a friction block 5 movably installed on the brake pad base plate 4. The mounting bracket 2 is provided with a mounting mechanism 3 for mounting the brake pad base plate 4, and the brake pad base plate 4 is provided with a balancing component 6 for improving the performance of the friction block 5. The mounting mechanism 3 includes a slot 31 on the mounting bracket 2, a plug 32 that can be movably inserted into the slot 31, a locking hole 33 on the plug 32 for limiting the position of the plug 32, a limiting groove 34 in the slot 31 for engaging with the locking hole 33, a locking rod 35 that can be movably inserted into the locking hole 33, a screw 36 rotatably connected to the locking rod 35 for moving the locking rod 35, and a nut 37 rotatably mounted on the mounting bracket 2 for driving the screw 36 to move.

[0018] Specifically, after inserting the insert 32 into the slot 31, rotating the nut 37 drives the screw 36 to move. The screw 36 drives the locking rod 35 to be inserted into the locking hole 33, thereby realizing the installation of the brake pad base plate 4. Similarly, the reverse operation separates the locking rod 35 from the locking hole 33, making it easier to remove the brake pad base plate 4.

[0019] Further as Figure 4 As shown, it is worth noting that the balance assembly 6 includes a slanted groove 61 on the brake pad base plate 4, two mounting holes 63 on the brake pad base plate 4, a connecting arm 62 rotatably mounted in the slanted groove 61 for moving the friction block 5, and two support springs 64 fixedly connected in the two mounting holes 63 for supporting the friction block 5.

[0020] Specifically, the connecting arm 62 is installed inside the inclined groove 61, making the connecting arm 62 adjustable so that the friction block 5 can be adjusted. The support spring 64 installed in the mounting hole 63 supports the friction block 5 so that the friction block 5 can maintain balance, thereby improving the uniformity of adhesion between the friction block 5 and the brake disc.

[0021] Further as Figure 1 and Figure 4 As shown, it is worth noting that the friction block 5 has two mounting holes 7 corresponding to the two mounting holes 63, and the friction block 5 also has a groove 8.

[0022] Specifically, the second mounting hole 7 is provided to facilitate the installation and fixing of the support spring 64, and the slot 8 provided on the friction block 5 increases the airflow channel when the friction block 5 is working, accelerates the dissipation of heat generated by the friction between the brake pads and the brake disc, and reduces the risk of heat fade.

[0023] Further as Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, it is worth noting that the mounting bracket 2 is fixedly connected to two positioning rods 9 for positioning the brake pad base plate 4, and positioning rings 10 are movably sleeved on the outer surfaces of the two positioning rods 9.

[0024] Specifically, when installing the brake pad base plate 4, the positioning ring 10 is inserted into the positioning rod 9 to facilitate quick positioning of the brake pad base plate 4 during installation, thereby improving the efficiency of brake pad installation.

[0025] Further as Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, it is worth noting that the insert 32 is fixedly connected to the brake pad base plate 4, and the limiting groove 34 is adapted to the locking rod 35.

[0026] Specifically, the insert 32 is fixedly connected to the brake pad base plate 4. When the brake pad base plate 4 is installed into the caliper body 1, the insert 32 is inserted into the slot 31 to facilitate the installation of the brake pad base plate 4. The limiting groove 34 is adapted to the locking rod 35, which can limit the movement of the locking rod 35 and guide the movement of the locking rod 35.

[0027] Further as Figure 4 As shown, it is worth noting that the connecting arm 62 is fixedly connected to the friction block 5, the two support springs 64 are fixedly connected to the two mounting holes 7 respectively, and the two positioning rings 10 are fixedly connected to the brake pad base plate 4.

[0028] Specifically, the connecting arm 62 is fixedly connected to the friction block 5. When the brake pad is in use, the friction block 5 has slight rotational adjustment, so that the friction block 5 can make uniform contact with the brake disc. Two support springs 64 are respectively installed inside the two mounting holes 7, so that there is a certain support force between the brake pad base plate 4 and the friction block 5. Two positioning rings 10 are fixedly connected to the brake pad base plate 4. When installing the brake pad base plate 4, the positioning rings 10 can cooperate with the positioning rod 9 to achieve quick positioning when installing the brake pad base plate 4.

[0029] In summary: When installing this brake pad, first, place the two positioning rings 10 on the outer surfaces of the two positioning rods 9 respectively. Then, push the brake pad base plate 4 to insert the insert block 32 into the slot 31. Rotate the nut 37, and under the action of the thread, the nut 37 drives the screw 36 to insert the locking rod 35 into the locking hole 33, locking the insert block 32. This completes the installation of the brake pad base plate 4 and enables the brake pad to be installed into the caliper. Similarly, the brake pad base plate 4 and friction block 5 can be quickly disassembled. The operation is simple and effectively avoids the problem of complicated operation when installing brake pads into the caliper.

[0030] During use, when the brake pad clamps the brake disc, the friction block 5, in cooperation with the inclined groove 61 and the connecting arm 62, can be adjusted according to the contact surface of the brake disc. This allows the friction block 5 to adhere evenly to the contact surface of the brake disc, improving the uniformity of friction and preventing severe wear in some areas of the friction block 5 due to uneven contact between the friction block 5 and the brake disc. This extends the service life of the friction block 5, enhances the performance of the brake pad, and effectively avoids the problem of short service life caused by uneven contact between the friction pad and the brake disc.

[0031] It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that this invention is not limited to the details of the exemplary embodiments described above, and that it can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or essential characteristics of this invention. Therefore, the embodiments should be considered illustrative and non-limiting in all respects, and the scope of this invention is defined by the appended claims rather than the foregoing description. Thus, it is intended that all variations falling within the meaning and scope of equivalents of the claims be included within this invention. No reference numerals in the claims should be construed as limiting the scope of the claims.
