Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of steering knuckle brake assembly, and in particular to a front steering knuckle brake assembly with calipers for golf carts. Background Technology

[0002] The steering knuckle is an important component of the braking system that connects the wheels and the suspension system. It is used to achieve steering and braking functions during vehicle operation. The steering knuckle is a common name for the vehicle's steering knuckle. It is usually used to connect the wheels, braking system, suspension system, etc., to ensure that the vehicle remains stable and has effective braking control when turning.

[0003] For example, the authorized announcement number of the case "A Brake Knuckle" is "CN 207049231 U". By opening a drainage device on the mating surface of the knuckle, the cavity at the mating point of the knuckle and the wheel hub bearing with the integrated wheel speed sensor is connected to the outside. When external moisture can easily enter through the sensor connector hole, it will flow out directly from the drainage device, thereby avoiding water accumulation.

[0004] Typically, a brake assembly includes the brake caliper, brake disc, and brake caliper. However, traditional cooling vents are usually one-way ventilation vents, which rely on airflow during high-speed driving to draw air into the vents and carry away heat. But at low speeds or with frequent braking, the airflow is weak when the brake disc rotates at low speeds, resulting in insufficient airflow in the cooling vents and affecting the cooling effect.

[0005] Therefore, a front steering knuckle brake assembly with calipers is proposed to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0006] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a front steering knuckle brake assembly for golf carts with calipers to solve the above-mentioned problems. It improves upon the traditional problem that the heat dissipation holes are generally one-way ventilation holes, which rely on the air flow during high-speed driving to introduce airflow into the holes and remove heat. However, under low speed or frequent braking conditions, the air flow is not strong when the brake disc speed is low, resulting in insufficient air flow in the heat dissipation holes and affecting the heat dissipation effect.

[0007] This utility model achieves the above-mentioned objective through the following technical solution: a front steering knuckle brake assembly for a golf cart with calipers, comprising: a steering knuckle, a brake disc fixedly mounted on one side of the steering knuckle, and a caliper fixedly connected to one side of the steering knuckle, the caliper being located outside the brake disc; a drainage and heat dissipation mechanism, used for draining and dissipating heat from the steering knuckle and brake disc, the drainage and heat dissipation mechanism being disposed on one side of the steering knuckle and brake disc; wherein, the drainage and heat dissipation mechanism includes a connecting pipe fixedly mounted on one side of the steering knuckle, a heat dissipation component disposed on the outside of the brake disc, and a guide component disposed on one side of the steering knuckle. During use, the heat dissipation component can effectively guide airflow through the interior of the brake disc at low speeds through active airflow guidance, thereby improving the heat dissipation effect of the brake disc. Furthermore, the heat dissipation component can guide water flow, allowing water to drain quickly and preventing water accumulation. The guide component can also guide and drain water accumulated at the connection between the steering knuckle and the brake disc, further preventing water accumulation.

[0008] Preferably, the heat dissipation assembly includes multiple heat dissipation holes formed on the surface of the brake disc, all of which penetrate the brake disc. The volume of the multiple heat dissipation holes gradually increases from the inner ring to the outer ring of the brake disc. A fixing plate is fixedly installed on one side of the brake disc. The gradually increasing volume of the heat dissipation holes can guide more air into the outer ring area when the brake disc rotates, and by utilizing the principle of centrifugal force, it can more effectively guide airflow and dissipate heat more quickly when the brake disc rotates. The increasing hole diameter structure increases the air intake of the outer heat dissipation holes, thereby enhancing the heat dissipation effect.

[0009] Preferably, the connecting edges of the heat dissipation holes and the brake disc are all set as bevels, and the multiple heat dissipation holes are arranged around the surface of the brake disc. The heat dissipation holes and the external connection parts form a horn shape, so that the airflow can smoothly enter the heat dissipation holes and reduce the dispersion due to resistance. Moreover, this low resistance allows the heat dissipation holes to maintain a high heat dissipation effect even at low speeds.

[0010] Preferably, a guide channel is provided on one side of the heat dissipation hole, and inlet holes are provided on both sides of the guide channel. The other end of the inlet hole extends out of the brake disc. Air can enter the inlet hole from the outer ring edge of the brake disc and then flow along the guide channel to the heat dissipation hole, forming an efficient air intake path to further improve the heat dissipation effect.

[0011] Preferably, the two inlet holes are configured in a V-shape, and both inlet holes are connected to the guide channel. The V-shaped inlet holes cooperate with each other to allow gas to enter from multiple directions, thereby increasing the gas flow rate.

[0012] Preferably, the outer side of the fixed plate has multiple guide grooves, each of which is aligned with multiple heat dissipation holes. One side of each guide groove contacts an adjacent heat dissipation hole. When the fixed plate rotates with the brake disc, the guide grooves form a flow channel in the airflow. The airflow can be concentrated and guided along the path of the guide grooves to the corresponding heat dissipation holes, ensuring that the air enters the heat dissipation holes smoothly, thereby further increasing the gas flow.

[0013] Preferably, the guide assembly includes multiple cooling plates fixedly installed on the surface of the connecting pipe. Each cooling plate has a connecting hole on its surface. A reinforcing ring is fixedly installed on one side of each cooling plate. The multiple cooling plates can conduct heat to the surface of the connecting pipe, and the reinforcing ring can reinforce the multiple cooling plates. The multiple connecting holes can facilitate drainage when there is water accumulation.

[0014] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0015] 1. During use, the heat dissipation component can effectively guide airflow through the inside of the brake disc at low speeds through active airflow, thereby improving the heat dissipation effect of the brake disc. The heat dissipation component can also guide water flow, so that water can be discharged quickly to avoid water accumulation. The guide component can also guide water accumulated at the connection between the steering knuckle and the brake disc to be discharged, thereby further preventing water accumulation.

[0016] 2. As the fixed disc rotates with the brake disc, the guide groove forms a flow channel in the airflow. The airflow can be concentrated and guided along the path of the guide groove to the corresponding heat dissipation holes, ensuring that the air enters the heat dissipation holes smoothly, thereby further increasing the gas flow.

[0022] 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.

[0023] In practical implementation: such as Figure 1-4 As shown, a front steering knuckle brake assembly for a golf cart with calipers includes: a steering knuckle 1, a brake disc 21 fixedly mounted on one side of the steering knuckle 1, and a caliper 2 fixedly connected to one side of the steering knuckle 1, the caliper 2 being located on the outside of the brake disc 21; a drainage and heat dissipation mechanism 3, used for drainage and heat dissipation of the steering knuckle 1 and the brake disc 21, is disposed on one side of the steering knuckle 1 and the brake disc 21; wherein, the drainage and heat dissipation mechanism 3 includes a connecting pipe 31 fixedly mounted on one side of the steering knuckle 1, a heat dissipation component 32 disposed on the outside of the brake disc 21, and a guide component 33 disposed on one side of the steering knuckle 1. In use, the heat dissipation component 32 can effectively guide airflow through the inside of the brake disc 21 at low speeds through active airflow guidance, thereby improving the heat dissipation effect of the brake disc 21. The heat dissipation component 32 can also guide water flow, so that water can be quickly discharged to avoid water accumulation. The guide component 33 can also guide and discharge water accumulated at the connection between the steering knuckle 1 and the brake disc 21, thereby further preventing water accumulation.

[0024] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the heat dissipation component 32 includes multiple heat dissipation holes 321 formed on the surface of the brake disc 21. All the multiple heat dissipation holes 321 penetrate the brake disc 21. The volume of the multiple heat dissipation holes 321 gradually increases from the inner ring to the outer ring of the brake disc 21. A fixing plate 324 is fixedly installed on one side of the brake disc 21. The gradually increasing volume of the heat dissipation holes 321 can guide more air into the outer ring area when the brake disc 21 rotates. Moreover, by utilizing the principle of centrifugal force, the airflow can be guided more effectively when the brake disc 21 rotates, and the heat can be dissipated more quickly. The increasing aperture structure inside and outside increases the air intake of the outer heat dissipation hole 321, thereby enhancing the heat dissipation effect. The connection edge between the heat dissipation hole 321 and the brake disc 21 is set as a bevel. Multiple heat dissipation holes 321 are arranged around the surface of the brake disc 21. The bevel shape of the edge of the heat dissipation hole 321 makes the heat dissipation hole 321 and the external connection part form a funnel shape, so that the airflow can smoothly enter the heat dissipation hole 321 and reduce the dispersion due to resistance. Moreover, this low resistance allows the heat dissipation hole 321 to maintain a high heat dissipation effect even at low speed.

[0025] A guide channel 322 is provided on one side of the heat dissipation hole 321, and inlet holes 323 are provided on both sides of the guide channel 322. The other end of the inlet hole 323 extends out of the brake disc 21. One side of the heat dissipation hole 321 is connected to the outer ring edge of the brake disc 21 through the guide channel 322 and the two inlet holes 323, so that air can enter the inlet hole 323 from the outer ring edge of the brake disc 21, and then flow along the guide channel 322 to the heat dissipation hole 321, forming an efficient air intake path to further improve the heat dissipation effect. It can also quickly guide and discharge the water flow at the edge through the compression of the airflow. The two inlet holes 323 are set in a V shape, and both inlet holes 323 are connected to the guide channel 322. The V-shaped inlet holes 323 cooperate with each other to allow gas to enter from multiple directions and increase the gas flow rate.

[0026] like Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the guide assembly 33 includes multiple cooling plates 331 fixedly mounted on the surface of the connecting pipe 31. Each cooling plate 331 has a connecting hole 332 on its surface. A reinforcing ring 333 is fixedly mounted on one side of each cooling plate 331. The cooling plates 331 conduct heat to the surface of the connecting pipe 31, and the reinforcing ring 333 reinforces the cooling plates 331. The connecting holes 332 facilitate drainage when water accumulates. Multiple guide grooves 325 are formed on the outer side of the fixing plate 324. These guide grooves 325 are aligned with multiple heat dissipation holes 321, and one side of each guide groove 325 contacts an adjacent heat dissipation hole 321. When the fixing plate 324 rotates with the brake disc 21, the guide grooves 325 form a flow channel in the airflow. The airflow can be concentrated and guided along the path of the guide grooves 325 to the corresponding heat dissipation hole 321, ensuring smooth airflow into the heat dissipation hole 321 and further increasing the gas flow.

[0027] In use, the volume of the heat dissipation hole 321 gradually increases when the brake disc 21 is in use. This allows more air to flow into the outer ring area when the brake disc 21 rotates. Utilizing the principle of centrifugal force, the airflow can be guided more effectively when the brake disc 21 rotates, dissipating heat more quickly. The heat dissipation hole 321 forms a funnel shape with the external connection part, allowing airflow to enter the heat dissipation hole 321 smoothly and reducing dispersion due to resistance. One side of the heat dissipation hole 321 is connected to the outer ring edge of the brake disc 21 through the guide channel 322 and two inlet holes 323. This allows air to enter the inlet hole 323 from the outer ring edge of the brake disc 21 and then flow along the guide channel 322 to the heat dissipation hole 321, forming an efficient air intake path to further improve the heat dissipation effect. It can also quickly guide and discharge water flow at the edge through the compression of the airflow. When the fixed disc 324 rotates with the brake disc 21, the guide groove 325 forms a guide channel in the airflow. Airflow can be concentrated and guided along the path of guide groove 325 to the corresponding heat dissipation hole 321, ensuring that air enters the heat dissipation hole 321 smoothly, thereby further increasing the gas flow. Multiple cooling plates 331 can conduct heat dissipation on the surface of connecting pipe 31, and multiple cooling plates 331 can be reinforced by reinforcing ring 333. Multiple connecting holes 332 can facilitate drainage when there is water accumulation.

[0028] Furthermore, it should be understood that although this specification describes embodiments, not every embodiment contains only one independent technical solution. This narrative style is merely for clarity. Those skilled in the art should consider the specification as a whole, and the technical solutions in each embodiment can also be appropriately combined to form other embodiments that can be understood by those skilled in the art.
