Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of automotive braking technology, specifically relating to a rear disc brake with a parking brake structure. Background Technology

[0002] Rear disc brakes are a key component of modern automotive braking systems. They can operate in two ways: one is to generate braking force to stop or decelerate the vehicle; the other is as parking brakes or emergency brakes. When the car stops or the service brake system fails, the driver manually pulls the brake cable and the parking lever. Through a series of transmission mechanisms, force is directly applied to the piston to achieve braking.

[0003] Currently, parking brakes utilize a screw or cam mechanism to push brake pads to clamp the brake disc, thus creating a parking brake. This type of parking brake has drawbacks such as complexity, large size, susceptibility to low temperatures and corrosion, and high maintenance costs, which can easily lead to safety hazards and cause collisions due to the vehicle's inability to brake.

The pivot pin passes through two holes on the bracket and the bushing, and the top end is connected to the cotter pin to prevent it from coming out. The rear end of the operating lever has a brake cable connection hole.

[0025] See Figure 4 A parking brake structure for a rear disc brake includes an operating lever 201, a pressure lever 202, a pivot pin 203, a bushing 204, a bracket 205, a cotter pin 206, and a brake cable connection hole 207.

[0029] Working principle The brake cable is connected to the brake cable connection hole 207 at one end of the operating lever 201. When the driver pulls the handbrake lever, the pulling force is transmitted to one end of the operating lever 201 through the metal brake cable. By swinging the operating lever, the amplified thrust, based on the lever principle, is pushed by the pressure lever 202 to the rear end of the push rod 103. The front end of the push rod 103 directly acts on the first brake pad 105, pressing it tightly against the brake disc 106. At the same time, the reaction force pushes the entire caliper 1 to slide inward, and the second brake pad 107 is also pulled towards the brake disc 106, clamping the brake disc 106. The wheels are locked by friction, achieving parking brake. When the brake is released, the parking lever is released, the pulling force disappears, the pressure lever is pushed back by the return spring 104, the brake pads return to their original position, the friction disappears, and the brake is released.
