Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of automotive component technology, and in particular relates to automotive rear wheel brake calipers. Background Technology
[0002] Brake calipers are widely used in vehicles. The rear wheels of a car generate braking force through the interaction between the brake caliper and the brake disc. In traditional designs, a sealing ring is usually fitted onto the outer wall of the piston. This sealing ring slides back and forth within the caliper cavity along with the piston to seal the brake fluid. However, this design has the following problems:
[0003] Because the sealing ring moves with the piston, it is prone to failure due to stretching, deformation, displacement or wear during long-term use, resulting in brake fluid leakage and affecting the stability and safety of the braking system. Utility Model Content

[0008] A sealing ring is fixedly installed inside the cavity. The outer wall of the sealing ring is sealed to the side wall of the cavity. The piston is located inside the sealing ring. A guide groove is provided inside the sealing ring. A guide ring protruding from the piston body is provided at the end of the piston away from the braking component. The guide ring is embedded in the guide groove and slides and seals with the guide groove.
[0009] As a preferred embodiment of the above technical solution, a contact portion is provided on the contact surface of the guide groove that slides with the guide ring.
[0010] As a preferred embodiment of the above technical solution, a plurality of locking blocks are provided on the outer side wall of the sealing ring, and a locking groove is provided on the caliper body corresponding to the locking block position to cooperate with it, and the locking block is embedded in the locking groove.

[0017] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the present invention clearer, the technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the embodiments.
[0018] Example
[0019] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 As shown, Figure 1 The diagram shown is a cross-sectional view of the brake caliper in the embodiment. Figure 2 What is shown is Figure 1 Enlarged schematic diagram of the structure at point A in the diagram;
[0020] This device includes:
[0021] The caliper body 10 has symmetrically arranged cavities 20 inside.
[0022] The braking assembly includes a piston 30 that is slidably disposed inside a cavity 20, with one end of the piston 30 extending out of the cavity 20 and provided with a braking element 31.
[0023] The cavity 20 is connected to the master cylinder via a hydraulic circuit, receiving hydraulic pressure from the pedal. The brake fluid pressure can push the piston 30 to move outward, causing the brake element 31 to press tightly against the brake disc, generating braking torque, and slowing down or stopping the wheels.
[0024] A sealing ring 40 is fixedly installed inside the cavity 20. The outer wall of the sealing ring 40 is sealed to the side wall of the cavity 20. The piston 30 is located inside the sealing ring 40. A guide groove 41 is provided inside the sealing ring 40. A guide ring 32 protruding from the piston body is provided at the end of the piston 30 away from the brake 31. The guide ring 32 is embedded in the guide groove 41 and slides and seals with the guide groove 41.
[0025] Specifically, the sealing ring 40 is usually made of a high-temperature resistant, oil-resistant, and elastic material, such as fluororubber (FKM) or silicone rubber. The sealing ring 40 and the caliper body 10 are interference fit, which can provide good static sealing performance and prevent brake fluid leakage. The fit between the guide groove 41 and the guide ring 32 can play a guiding and limiting role when the piston 30 reciprocates.
[0026] In the above structure, the sealing surface of the fixed sealing ring 40 remains unchanged, which ensures the stability of the sealing surface and avoids leakage caused by the displacement of the sealing ring 40 due to the movement of the piston 30. This static sealing design helps to improve the overall sealing performance.
[0027] The wear of the sealing ring 40 is mainly concentrated on the sliding contact surface between the guide ring 32 and the guide groove 41, which can extend the service life of the sealing ring 40 and the piston 30.
[0028] A contact portion 42 is provided on the contact surface of the guide groove 41 that slides with the guide ring 32.
[0029] The contact part 42 is a wear-resistant pad, and the guide ring 32 is a wear-resistant part (both can be PTFE composite materials), so that the wear between the two is uniform and controllable.
[0030] Several locking blocks 43 are provided on the outer side wall of the sealing ring 40. The caliper body 10 has a locking groove corresponding to the locking block 43, and the locking block 43 is embedded in the locking groove.
[0031] After the card block 43 is inserted into the card slot, it restricts the circumferential rotation and axial movement of the sealing ring 40 within the cavity 20.
[0032] A spring 50 is also provided between the caliper body 10 and the brake component 31 to connect the two.
[0033] One end of the spring 50 is fixedly connected to the caliper body 10, and the other end is fixedly connected to the brake component 31.
[0034] When the driver releases the brake pedal, the brake fluid pressure drops. At this time, the spring 50 helps to pull the piston 30 back to its original position, ensuring that the brake element 31 is separated from the brake disc, reducing drag, and avoiding unnecessary fuel consumption and wear.
[0035] Working principle: When the driver presses the brake pedal, the master cylinder injects brake fluid into the chamber 20 through the hydraulic oil circuit, increasing the hydraulic pressure in the chamber 20. The piston 30 is pushed outward by the hydraulic pressure. The guide ring 32 on the piston 30 slides along the guide groove 41 inside the sealing ring 40 to ensure the piston 30 moves in a straight line and prevents it from deviating. The movement of the piston 30 makes the brake element 31 press tightly against the brake disc. The friction between the two causes the wheel to decelerate or stop rotating, thereby achieving vehicle braking.
[0036] The sealing ring 40 is fixed in place, and a static seal is achieved between its outer wall and the cavity 20. The piston 30 slides inside the sealing ring 40, and a dynamic seal is formed between the guide groove 41 and the guide ring 32. The fixed sealing surface design avoids sealing failure caused by the movement of the piston 30. The wear of the sealing ring 40 is concentrated on the sliding surface of the guide ring 32 and the guide groove 41, which does not affect the main sealing function.
[0037] The above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solution of this utility model, and are not intended to limit it.
