Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] (CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS) This application is based on and claims priority to a Chinese patent application filed on June 28, 2021, bearing application number 202110718105.0, the entire contents of which are incorporated herein by reference.

[0003] Brake calipers in the related art are divided into calipers with external brake oil passages and calipers with internal brake oil passages.

[0004] In a caliper with an external brake oil passage, one oil pipe is arranged outside the caliper and attached to the outer surface of the caliper. Because the thermal conductivity of air is lower than that of metal, this type of brake oil passage arrangement has a low heat dissipation effect. Furthermore, because the oil pipe is exposed to the outside, it is more susceptible to collisions and has low safety and stability.

[0005] In calipers with built-in brake oil passages, typically, one exhaust port and one exhaust screw are provided on each side of the piston cylinder, and during the exhaust process, the caliper body must be tilted to position the exhaust port and exhaust screw at the appropriate exhaust position. Thus, after the exhaust screw on one side of the caliper body has exhausted, the other side still needs to be exhausted, so the caliper body must be tilted to the other side, making the exhaust operation complicated and inefficient.

[0028] A brake caliper 1 according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

[0029] As shown in FIGS. 1 to 7, a brake caliper 1 according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a caliper body 100 and an exhaust screw 200. As shown in FIG.

[0030] A brake disc groove 110 and a piston cylinder 120 are formed in the caliper body 100, a brake oil transport passage 130 and an exhaust passage 140 are formed in the wall of the caliper body 100, the brake oil transport passage 130 communicates with the piston cylinder 120, the exhaust passage 140 communicates with one end of the brake oil transport passage 130 in the length direction of the caliper body 100, and an exhaust port 150 is provided on one side in the thickness direction of the caliper body 100, and the exhaust port 150 communicates with the exhaust passage 140. An exhaust screw 200 is attached to the exhaust port 150 on one side of the caliper body 100 to control the opening and closing of the exhaust port 150.

[0031] For example, the brake caliper 1 may be installed upright when actually used, that is, the exhaust port 150 is located at the upper end of the caliper body 100, and the exhaust passage 140 communicates with the upper end of the brake oil transport passage .

[0032] Specifically, when in use, the brake caliper 1 is placed vertically and the exhaust passage 140 is located at the highest point of the brake oil transport passage 130. Since the density of gas is lower than that of liquid, when liquid is injected into the brake oil transport passage 130, the gas will gather at the highest point. At this time, since the exhaust passage 140 is located at the highest point of the entire brake oil transport passage 130, the gas can be effectively discharged from the exhaust port 150, thereby achieving the purpose of exhaust during use. When discharging, the end of the brake caliper 1 where the exhaust port 150 is provided faces upward, the brake caliper 1 is erected and tilted at a certain angle, and the exhaust port 150 is tilted downward. After the exhaust screw 200 is loosened, the brake oil transport oil passage 130 forms a passage with the outside through the exhaust port 150, and when the brake caliper 1 is pressurized, the brake oil passes through the passage and pushes out the gas inside the brake caliper 1, discharging until no more air bubbles appear at the exhaust port 150. Then, the exhaust screw 200 is tightened to close the exhaust port 150, completing the exhaust process.

[0033] In the brake caliper 1 according to the embodiment of the present application, the brake oil transport passage 130 and the exhaust passage 140 are both built into the wall of the brake caliper 1, thereby avoiding problems such as poor heat dissipation effect and stability of calipers with external brake oil passages.

[0034] In addition, the exhaust port 150 is moved to one side in the thickness direction of the caliper body 100, and the exhaust passage 140 connects the exhaust port 150 to the brake oil transport passage 130. The exhaust passage 140 is connected to one end of the brake oil transport passage 130 in the longitudinal direction of the caliper body 100, so that gas in the brake oil transport passage 130 can be discharged through the exhaust passage 140 and from the exhaust port 150. Because the exhaust port 150 is located on one side in the thickness direction of the caliper body 100, brake oil near the inside and outside of the brake caliper 1 is both transported to the brake oil transport passage 130, and gas in the brake oil transport passage 130 can be discharged from the exhaust port 150 through the exhaust passage 140. In this way, it is only necessary to provide the exhaust port 150 on one side in the thickness direction, reducing the number of exhaust ports 150 and simplifying the structure of the exhaust ports 150 of the caliper body 100. In addition, the brake oil on both the inside and outside of the caliper body 100 can be discharged from the exhaust port 150 on one side of the caliper body 100 in the thickness direction, and there is no need to discharge the other side. When discharging, the exhaust can be completed by simply tilting the brake caliper 1 to one side, which reduces the exhaust steps, makes the exhaust operation easier, and achieves higher exhaust efficiency and a high exhaust effect.

[0035] Therefore, the brake caliper 1 according to the embodiment of the present invention has advantages such as high heat dissipation effect, high stability, easy exhaust operation, and high exhaust efficiency.

[0036] In some specific embodiments of the present application, as shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, the caliper body 100 includes a first caliper body 101 and a second caliper body 102.

[0037] The first caliper body 101 and the second caliper body 102 engage to jointly define a brake disc groove 110, a piston cylinder 120 is formed in the first caliper body 101 and the second caliper body 102, a brake oil transport passage 130 is formed in the first caliper body 101 and the second caliper body 102, an exhaust passage 140 and an exhaust port 150 are formed in the second caliper body 102, and an exhaust screw 200 is attached to the second caliper body 102.

[0038] For example, the first caliper body 101 is located on one side (e.g., the outer side) of the brake disc groove 110 in the width direction, and the second caliper body 102 is located on the other side (e.g., the inner side) of the brake disc groove 110 in the width direction, and when the first caliper body 101 and the second caliper body 102 are engaged, they communicate with the brake oil transport passage of the first caliper body 101 and the brake oil transport passage 130 of the second caliper body 102. The brake oil transport passage 130 collects the brake oil in the first caliper body 101 and the second caliper body 102, making the exhaust of the brake oil in the first caliper body 101 and the second caliper body 102 more uniform.

[0039] Furthermore, as shown in FIG. 3, the brake oil transport oil passage 130 includes a first oil passage 131 and a second oil passage 132.

[0040] The first oil passage 131 is formed in the first caliper body 101 , the second oil passage 132 is formed in the second caliper body 102 and communicates with the first oil passage 131 , and the exhaust passage 140 communicates with the second oil passage 132 .

[0041] For example, exhaust passage 140 is connected to the end of second oil passage 132 adjacent to first oil passage 131, thereby being close to either first oil passage 131 or second oil passage 132. By connecting first oil passage 131 and second oil passage 132, brake oil in first oil passage 131 flows to second oil passage 132, and gas in both first oil passage 131 and second oil passage 132 can be discharged from exhaust port 150.

[0042] Furthermore, as shown in FIG. 3, the first oil passage 131 and the second oil passage 132 are provided symmetrically with respect to the joining surface between the first caliper body 101 and the second caliper body 102.

[0043] In this way, the distribution of brake oil in the first oil passage 131 and the second oil passage 132 is uniform, so that the exhaust on both sides of the thickness direction of the caliper body 100 is uniform, ensuring that the exhaust by the brake oil in the first caliper body 101 and the second caliper body 102 is sufficient.

[0044] In some specific embodiments of the present application, as shown in FIG. 3, each of the first oil passage 131 and the second oil passage 132 includes an injection oil passage 133, a first communication oil passage 134, and a second communication oil passage 135.

[0045] The oil injection passage 133 extends along the length of the caliper body 100 and communicates with the bottom of the piston cylinder 120 .

[0046] The first communicating oil passage 134 is located on one side of the piston cylinder 120 in the longitudinal direction of the caliper body 100, and is arranged at an angle to the oil injection passage 133, with one end communicating with the oil injection passage 133 and the other end penetrating the joining surface between the first caliper body 101 and the second caliper body 102.

[0047] The second communication oil passage 135 is located on the other side of the piston cylinder 120 in the longitudinal direction of the caliper body 100, and is provided at an angle with respect to the oil injection passage 133, with one end communicating with the oil injection passage 133 and the other end penetrating the joining surface between the first caliper body 101 and the second caliper body 102. The exhaust passage 140 communicates with the second communication oil passage 135 of the second caliper body 102. That is, the first communication oil passage 134 of the first caliper body 101 and the first communication oil passage 134 of the second caliper body 102 are connected and communicated with each other, and the second communication oil passage 135 of the first caliper body 101 and the second communication oil passage 135 of the second caliper body 102 are connected and communicated with each other. In this way, the first oil passage 131 and the second oil passage 132 are communicated with each other and with the piston cylinder 120 by fully utilizing the space within the wall of the caliper body 100 .

[0048] For example, the cross sections of the oil injection passage 133, the first communication passage 134, and the second communication passage 135 are all formed in a circular shape, the diameter of the first communication passage 134 and the diameter of the second communication passage 135 are equal and smaller than the diameter of the oil injection passage 133, the first communication passage 134 is inclined at approximately 45°±0.5° relative to the oil injection passage 133, and the second communication passage 135 is inclined at approximately 45°±0.5° relative to the other end of the oil injection passage 133. In this way, the inclination angle of the first communication passage 134 relative to the oil injection passage 133 and the inclination angle of the second communication passage 135 relative to the oil injection passage 133 are appropriate, and brake oil flows smoothly between the oil injection passage 133 and the first communication passage 134, and between the oil injection passage 133 and the second communication passage 135.

[0049] Furthermore, the first communicating oil passage 134 of the first oil passage 131 is connected to the first communicating oil passage 134 of the second oil passage 132, and the second communicating oil passage 135 of the first oil passage 131 is connected to the second communicating oil passage 135 of the second oil passage 132. As a result, the first oil passage 131 and the second oil passage 132 are connected on both sides of the injection oil passage 133, forming a flow path for circulating brake oil, and the brake oil in the first oil passage 131 and the second oil passage 132 becomes more uniform.

[0050] 1, the brake caliper 1 further includes an oil seal plug 210. Both ends of the oil injection passage 133 are open and have threaded holes, and the oil seal plug 210 is attached to the threaded holes.

[0051] For example, the oil injection passage 133 may be machined as a through-hole extending along the length of the caliper body 100, and the oil seal plug 210 may seal both ends of the oil injection passage 133. The machining of the oil injection passage 133 is simple, and the oil seal plug 210 seals the brake oil inside the caliper body 100 and prevents the brake oil from leaking out. The oil seal plugs 210 are threadedly connected to both ends of the oil injection passage 133, and threaded holes are formed on both ends of the oil injection passage 133, making it easier to install and remove the oil seal plugs 210.

[0052] In some specific embodiments of the present application, as shown in FIGS. 3, 6 and 7, the brake caliper 1 further includes a first seal ring 136 and a second seal ring 138.

[0053] A first seal groove 137 is formed in the joining surface of the first caliper body 101 with the second caliper body 102, and a first seal ring 136 is provided in the first seal groove 137 and surrounds the other end of the first communicating oil passage 134. A second seal groove 139 is formed in the joining surface of the first caliper body 101 with the second caliper body 102, and a second seal ring 138 is provided in the second seal groove 139 and surrounds the other end of the second communicating oil passage 134.

[0054] For example, the first seal ring 136 and the second seal ring 138 are both formed in an annular shape, the first seal ring 136 surrounds the other end of the first communicating oil passage 134 and is located within the first seal groove 137, and the second seal ring 138 surrounds the other end of the second communicating oil passage 135 and is located within the second seal groove 139. The first seal ring 136 at the other end of the first communicating oil passage 134 seals the joining surface between the first caliper body 101 and the second caliper body 102, and the second seal ring 138 at the other end of the second communicating oil passage 135 seals the joining surface between the first caliper body 101 and the second caliper body 102, and the first communicating oil passage 134 of the first oil passage 131 and the first communicating oil passage 134 of the second oil passage 132 can be connected by the center hole of the first seal ring 136, and the second communicating oil passage 135 of the first oil passage 131 and the second communicating oil passage 135 of the second oil passage 132 can be connected by the first seal ring 136, and the first seal ring 136 and the second seal ring 138 have a high sealing effect.

[0055] 3, the exhaust passage 140 is arranged parallel to the axial direction of the piston cylinder 120. In this way, the exhaust passage 140 and the piston cylinder 120 both extend along the thickness direction of the caliper body 100, and the axial directions of the exhaust passage 140 and the piston cylinder 120 are both perpendicular to the joining surface between the first caliper body 101 and the second caliper body 102, which makes processing more convenient and makes exhaust easier.

[0056] In some specific embodiments of the present application, as shown in FIG. 5, the exhaust screw 200 has a first end and a second end, the first end being recessed into the exhaust port 150 and the second end being exposed from the exhaust port 150.

[0057] The exhaust screw 200 is formed with a first tapered surface 220, a central exhaust hole 230, and a vent hole 240, the first tapered surface 220 being formed at a first end of the exhaust screw 200, the central exhaust hole 230 extending along the length of the exhaust screw 200 and penetrating a second end of the exhaust screw 200, and the vent hole 240 being located on the side of the first tapered surface 220 facing the second end and connecting the outer peripheral wall of the exhaust screw 200 with the central exhaust hole 230; for example, the vent hole 240 may extend along the radial direction of the exhaust screw 200 and a plurality of vent holes 240 may be provided at intervals along the circumferential direction of the exhaust screw 200. A second tapered surface 151 that mates with the first tapered surface 220 is formed on the bottom wall of the exhaust port 150.

[0058] 5, the inclination angle of the first tapered surface 220 is slightly larger than the inclination angle of the second tapered surface 151, and the height of the first tapered surface 220 is larger than the height of the second tapered surface 151, so that the first tapered surface 220 and the second tapered surface 151 can form a good seal after the exhaust screw 200 is tightened. When the exhaust screw 200 is loosened, gas passes through the gap between the first tapered surface 220 and the second tapered surface 151 and can be exhausted from the central exhaust hole 230 through the ventilation hole 240.

[0059] A sealing sleeve 250 may also be provided at the second end of the exhaust screw 200, which covers the second end of the exhaust screw 200 and seals the central exhaust hole 230, thereby preventing brake oil remaining after exhaust from flowing out of the central exhaust hole 230.
