Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of brake caliper temperature sensor technology, and specifically to a brake caliper temperature monitoring system. Background Technology

[0002] The traditional brake caliper temperature monitoring system works by using a temperature sensor installed in the brake caliper to provide temperature data to the information processing module. After the information processing module processes the temperature data, it sends the temperature data to the display module. If the temperature data exceeds a threshold value, an alarm message is transmitted to the alarm module.

[0003] Secondly, in traditional brake caliper temperature monitoring systems, the temperature sensor is primarily located in the side gap below the heat-conducting connection of the brake pad, with only one side of the sensor in contact with the brake pad. While this placement can monitor the brake caliper temperature, the temperature readings are not as direct and accurate. Therefore, how to monitor the brake caliper temperature more directly and accurately is an important research topic. Utility Model Content

[0004] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is how to monitor the temperature of the brake caliper more directly. The purpose is to provide a brake caliper temperature monitoring system to solve the problem of how to monitor the temperature of the brake caliper more directly.

[0005] This utility model is achieved through the following technical solution:

[0006] A brake caliper temperature monitoring system includes a brake caliper body and a disc-shaped brake disc. The brake caliper body includes arc-shaped, tile-like brake pads on both sides of the brake disc. Two brake pads are located on the arc-shaped edges of the brake pads, one on the left side and the other on the right side. The two brake pads are connected by a central heat-conducting connection. Above the heat-conducting connection is a brake caliper plate. A groove is located in the middle of the heat-conducting connection. Above the groove, the brake caliper plate has a mounting hole aligned with the groove. A temperature sensor's sensing element passes through a threaded hole and is inserted into the groove. The temperature sensor's connection wire is connected to an information display and alarm circuit. The groove houses the temperature sensor and allows for more direct monitoring of the brake caliper temperature. The threaded hole allows the temperature sensor to freely adjust the distance between the brake caliper plate and the heat-conducting connection, enabling the sensor to monitor not only the brake caliper temperature but also indirectly the brake disc temperature. The brake caliper plate primarily secures the heat-conducting connection. The temperature sensor transmits data to the information display and alarm circuit via a connecting wire, and the information display and alarm circuit then processes the temperature data.

[0007] Furthermore, the temperature sensor has external threads on its outer surface and internal threads on its mounting hole. The external and internal threads are engaged to connect the temperature sensor to the brake caliper plate. The threads allow the temperature sensor to be freely adjusted in position at the heat-conducting connection between the brake caliper plate and the brake pad.

[0008] Furthermore, when the temperature sensor is rotated to its deepest point via the thread, it presses against the brake pad thermally conductive connection and is adjacent to the brake disc. At this point, the temperature sensor and the brake pad thermally conductive connection are in their most stable state. Since the brake disc is very close to the brake pad thermally conductive connection, and the temperature sensor is in contact with the brake pad, the temperature sensor can also indirectly monitor the temperature of the brake disc.

[0009] Furthermore, the information display alarm circuit includes a temperature display module, a logic control microcontroller module, and a temperature conversion interface module. The temperature sensors are connected to the temperature conversion interface module via connecting lines. The temperature conversion interface module converts the induced current into a digital signal. The temperature conversion interface module is then connected to the logic control microcontroller module via digital signal lines. The logic control microcontroller module transmits the temperature to be displayed to the temperature display module via digital signal lines. The current operating mode is the highest brake caliper temperature priority display mode. Several temperature sensors transmit induced current to the temperature conversion interface module, which converts the current into a digital signal and transmits it to the logic control microcontroller. The logic control microcontroller compares several temperature data points and sends the position and temperature of the highest-temperature brake caliper to the temperature display module, which then displays the readings.

[0010] Furthermore, the information display alarm circuit also includes a power conversion module, a button operation module, a data storage module, and an alarm prompt drive module. A logic microcontroller module is connected to the button operation module via digital signal lines, transmitting the temperature data to be stored to the data storage module via the same lines. The alarm prompt drive module receives alarm information from the logic microcontroller module via digital signal lines. The power conversion module connects to the temperature display module, the logic control microcontroller module, the temperature conversion interface module, and the temperature sensor via power lines. The power conversion module provides power to the entire circuit. The button operation module retrieves relevant data. The data storage module stores temperature data for the past two hours. The alarm prompt drive module provides corresponding alarm prompts to the driver. The logic microcontroller module is the control center of the entire circuit, used to receive and process data and issue information instructions to various modules.

[0011] Compared with the prior art, this utility model has the following advantages and beneficial effects:

[0012] 1. This utility model discloses a brake caliper temperature monitoring system. In traditional brake caliper temperature monitoring systems, the temperature sensor is placed in the side gap below the heat conduction connection of the brake pad, and the temperature sensor does not have much contact with the brake caliper. Compared with the traditional brake caliper temperature monitoring system, the temperature sensor of this utility model is in contact with the brake caliper most of the time, making the monitored data more accurate.

[0013] 2. The present invention provides a brake caliper temperature monitoring system. Since the temperature sensor is connected to the brake caliper pressure plate by a thread and is pressed into the groove at the heat-conducting connection part of the brake pad, it can also indirectly monitor the temperature data of the brake disc.

[0014] 3. The present invention provides a brake caliper temperature monitoring system, which, compared with traditional brake caliper temperature monitoring systems, can prioritize displaying the specific location and data of the caliper with the highest temperature. Attached Figure Description

[0026] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the embodiments and accompanying drawings. The illustrative embodiments and descriptions of this utility model are only used to explain this utility model and are not intended to limit this utility model.

[0027] Example 1:

[0028] Firstly, such as Figure 1 and Figure 7 As shown, this utility model discloses a brake caliper temperature monitoring system, including a brake caliper body and a disc-shaped brake disc 5. The brake caliper body includes arc-shaped, tile-like brake pads 4 on both sides of the brake disc 5. Two brake pressure pads 3 are located on the arc-shaped edges of the brake pads 4. One brake pressure pad 3 is located on the arc-shaped edge of the left brake pad 4, and the other brake pressure pad 3 is located on the arc-shaped edge of the right brake pad 4. The two brake pressure pads 3 are connected by a middle brake pressure pad heat-conducting connection part 8. A brake caliper pressure plate 2 is located above the brake pressure pad heat-conducting connection part 8. There is a groove in the middle part of the brake pressure pad heat-conducting connection part 8. In the area directly above the groove, the brake caliper pressure plate 2 has a mounting hole aligned with the groove. The sensing part of the temperature sensor 1 passes through the threaded hole and is inserted into the groove. The connecting wire 7 of the temperature sensor 1 is connected to the information display alarm circuit. The groove is used to house the temperature sensor 1, and its design allows the temperature sensor 1 to more directly monitor the temperature of the brake caliper. The threaded hole allows the temperature sensor 1 to freely adjust the distance between the brake caliper pressure plate 2 and the brake pad heat-conducting connection part 8, enabling the temperature sensor 1 to monitor not only the temperature data of the brake caliper but also indirectly the temperature data of the brake disc 5. The brake caliper pressure plate 2 is mainly used to fix the brake pad heat-conducting connection part 8. The temperature sensor 1 transmits data to the information display and alarm circuit via the connecting wire 7, and the information display and alarm circuit then processes the temperature data.

[0029] Specifically, such as Figure 3 and Figure 4 The temperature sensor 1 has an external thread on its outer surface and an internal thread on its mounting hole. The external and internal threads are engaged to connect the temperature sensor 1 to the brake caliper plate 2. The threads allow the temperature sensor 1 to be freely adjusted at the position from the brake caliper plate 2 to the brake pad heat-conducting connection part 8.

[0030] Specifically, when the temperature sensor 1 is rotated to its deepest point via the thread, the temperature sensor 1 is pressed against the brake pad heat-conducting connection part 8 and adjacent to the brake disc 5. At this time, the temperature sensor 1 and the brake pad 3 are in the most stable state, and since the brake disc 5 is very close to the brake pad heat-conducting connection part 8, and the temperature sensor 1 is in contact with the brake pad 3, the temperature sensor 1 can also indirectly monitor the temperature of the brake disc 5.

[0031] Specifically, the information display alarm circuit includes a temperature display module, a logic control microcontroller module, and a temperature conversion interface module. The temperature sensor 1 is connected to the temperature conversion interface module via a connecting cable 7. The temperature conversion interface module converts the induced current into a digital signal. This temperature conversion interface module is then connected to the logic control microcontroller module via a digital signal line. The logic control microcontroller module transmits the temperature to be displayed to the temperature display module via the digital signal line. The current operating mode is the highest brake caliper temperature priority display mode. Several temperature sensors 1 transmit induced current to the temperature conversion interface module, which converts the induced current into a digital signal and transmits it to the logic control microcontroller. The logic control microcontroller compares several temperature data points and sends the position and temperature of the highest-temperature brake caliper to the temperature display module, which then displays the result.

[0032] Specifically, the information display alarm circuit also includes a power conversion module, a button operation module, a data storage module, and an alarm prompt drive module. A logic microcontroller module is connected to the button operation module via digital signal lines. The logic microcontroller module transmits the temperature data to be stored to the data storage module via digital signal lines. The alarm prompt drive module receives alarm information from the logic microcontroller module via digital signal lines. The power conversion module is connected to the temperature display module, the logic control microcontroller module, the temperature conversion interface module, and the temperature sensor 1 via power lines. The power conversion module provides power to the entire circuit. The button operation module is used to retrieve relevant data. The data storage module stores temperature data for the past two hours. The alarm prompt drive module provides corresponding alarm prompts to the driver. The logic microcontroller module is the control center of the entire circuit, used to receive data, process data, and issue information instructions to various modules.

[0033] The working principle of this embodiment is explained as follows: First, driven by the drive device of the brake caliper body, the drive device presses the brake pad 4 towards the brake disc 5, as the brake disc 5 rotates with the tire. At this time, the brake pad 4 will rub against the brake disc 5, and the friction will generate heat. The temperature of the brake disc 5 and the temperature of the brake pad 4 are comparable. The generated temperature is transferred through the brake pad 4 to the brake pressure pad 3, and then from the brake pressure pad 3 to the brake pressure pad heat-conducting connection part 8. Since the temperature sensor 1 is located in the groove of the brake pressure pad heat-conducting connection part 8 and in the threaded hole of the brake caliper pressure plate 2, the temperature is transferred through the groove to the temperature sensor 1, and finally from the brake pressure pad heat-conducting connection part 8 to the brake caliper pressure plate 2.

[0034] Secondly, inside the brake caliper housing 6, temperature sensor 1 is connected to the brake caliper pressure plate 2 via threads. Temperature sensor 1 can be freely adjusted in position between the brake caliper pressure plate 2 and the brake pad 3, specifically the brake pad heat-conducting connection part 8. Simultaneously, temperature sensor 1 transmits temperature data to the information display and alarm circuit via connecting wire 7. The temperature conversion interface module converts the analog temperature data from temperature sensor 1 into digital temperature data and transmits it to the logic control microcontroller module. The logic control microcontroller processes the digital temperature data and sends it to the temperature display module or the alarm prompt drive module. Specifically, the logic control microcontroller module transmits the position and temperature data of the temperature sensor 1 with the highest temperature among all temperature sensors 1 to the temperature display module. The button operation module adjusts the working mode, and the logic control microcontroller processes the digital data and sends data to each module. The data storage module can record data from each temperature sensor 1 for two hours. If the data from any temperature sensor 1 exceeds a predetermined value, the alarm prompt drive module will issue an alarm to the driver. Figure 8 As shown, the temperature display module has three display states. State 1 is: when one of the temperature sensors 1 has the highest temperature, the position and temperature of the highest temperature sensor 1 are displayed first. State 2 is: the real-time query mode is adjusted through the button operation module to display the position and temperature of each temperature sensor 1. State 3 is: the historical query mode is adjusted through the button operation module to display the position and temperature of each temperature sensor 1 for the past two hours.

It should be understood that the above description is only a specific embodiment of this utility model and is not intended to limit the scope of protection of this utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the scope of protection of this utility model.
