1 TARIFF REPLACEABLE BRAKE PAD HOLDER WITH PIN AND DOUBLE BRAKE PAD. CALIPER BODY WITH HOUSING Technical Area 5 The invention relates to brake systems with different structures used in heavy-duty vehicles. The lower and upper brake pads ensure that the brake pads are properly positioned in the caliper housing. by supporting the brake pad at two separate points on its underside, along with the brake pad housing. the downward movement of the brake pad due to wear and tear and its displacement from the working position It involves a caliper housing containing two replaceable brake pad retention pins that limit movement. 10 Previous Technique The caliper housing is the component in a disc brake system that carries the brake pads and associated braking parts. It is the main metal structure. It is used in caliper housings of heavy vehicle disc brake systems. keeping the brake pads in the correct position and preventing 15 that may occur during operation Unwanted behaviors need to be restricted. In some known caliper body designs, the original design is located on one side of the caliper body. on one side is the brake pad produced by the equipment manufacturer, and on the other side is it an alternative manufacturer's brake pad. It may be necessary to use brake pads manufactured by [manufacturer name]. In these configurations, The caliper housing developed by the alternative manufacturer has the protruding 20 of the original brake pad. Due to the absence of corresponding slots for the sections, each part of the same caliper body can be used. It may not be possible to use the original brake pads on both sides. In some known caliper housings, the brake pad is located in the upper section of the brake pad carrier plate. It is held in place by means of a protruding structure. It supports the lower section of the brake pad. Due to the absence of a structure, the brake pad wears out depending on usage and 25 As a result of the decrease in thickness, the brake pad carrier sheet creates a gap in the caliper body. It can move downwards in the correct direction. The brake pad carrier plate fits into the aforementioned gap. If it falls, the sheet metal can become jammed inside the caliper body and exert force on the caliper body. by applying It is possible. 30 2 In some known improved caliper bodies, the brake pad is supported from below, moving downwards and upwards. There are support elements that restrict its movement in the lateral directions. However, this If the components are formed in such a way that they are integrated with the caliper body and cannot be replaced, contact and friction that occurs during the forward and backward movement of the brake pad 5. The worn support section must be replaced independently of the caliper body. This is not possible. Therefore, wear or damage occurring in the support area, This may require the entire caliper body to be replaced. Replacing the entire caliper housing increases maintenance and spare parts costs. and causes usable body parts to become unusable. This This situation increases material consumption, resulting in 10% of costs due to production, transportation, and parts replacement. This can lead to increased environmental burden and carbon footprint. Therefore, different types of brake pads must fit properly into the caliper housing. This is caused by the downward movement of the brake pads due to wear. a support that restricts movement and can be separated from the caliper body and replaced if it wears out. A new caliper body with these components is needed. 15 Brief Description of the Invention The invention relates to disc brake systems used in heavy-duty vehicles, and has a different structure. The upper and lower sections ensure that the brake pads are properly fitted into the caliper housing. Two 20mm pads support the brake pads at two separate points on the underside of the pad housings. It relates to a caliper housing with a replaceable brake pad retaining pin. The purpose of the invention is to secure the brake pad and brake pad carrier plate by means of brake pad retaining pins. to limit its downward and lateral movement due to wear; thus the brake pad coming out of its working position, the brake pad carrier plate in the caliper housing falling into the gap and getting stuck inside the housing, damaging the caliper housing 25 The goal is to prevent. The fundamental difference between this invention and the known original caliper housing is that it only attaches the brake pad to the upper part. Not only does it grip via the protruding structure in that section, but it also grips the bottom of the same brake pad. Two replaceable brake pad retaining pins that support the section at two separate points. The subject of the invention is that the lower section of the same brake pad consists of two 30-inch caliper housings. The brake pads are supported at two separate points by means of retaining pins. These pins are used to hold the brake pads. the brake pad and brake pad carrier plate moving downwards due to wear and limits its lateral displacement. 3 Another purpose of the invention is to reduce the contact and friction that occurs with the brake pad. The wear-resistant brake pad retaining pins are independent of the caliper housing, removable and replaceable, and Thanks to its interchangeable design, the entire caliper body does not need to be replaced. This allows only the worn brake pad retaining pin or pins to be replaced. The invention relates to a suitable 5-inch brake pad with a protruding structure on its upper section, manufactured by an original equipment manufacturer. Alternative brake pads from different manufacturers with similar geometric structures fit together in the same caliper housing. It enables its use as an alternative. When switching between brake pad types. Cutting, machining, or modifying the caliper body, or adding an extra part. There is no need to use it. The invention allows for the replacement of only the worn brake pad holder instead of the entire caliper housing. This allows for the replacement of the pins. The service life of the brake pad retaining pins. The same caliper can be changed multiple times as needed throughout its life. Its body can continue to be used during successive maintenance periods. This prevents usable caliper bodies from being scrapped and The technical service life of the caliper body is extended. 15 The material and energy savings achieved in this way are not limited to a single maintenance operation. not remaining; maintenance procedures performed throughout the caliper body's service life In terms of maintenance, it creates a cumulative environmental benefit. This will be needed over time. The decrease in the production of complete caliper bodies; the acquisition and melting of raw materials, Carbon-intensive production such as casting, processing and surface treatment 20 in addition to the stages, the environmental burden resulting from transportation and supply activities and It contributes to reducing the carbon footprint. The raw materials, energy, labor, machine capacity, and used in the production of the caliper body technical knowledge, the economic value accumulated within the product; in production and logistics processes The resulting energy use and emissions create an embedded environmental burden. It brings about. Only the brake pad retaining pins of the usable caliper body. rendering it unusable due to wear and tear represents a loss of environmental and economic value. This can lead to the product being lost before its technical lifespan is complete. Our invention, By ensuring the continued use of the caliper body, this value within the product is preserved. to ensure its preservation for a longer period; to prevent unnecessary expenditure of national economic resources 30 and contributes to the efficient use of domestic production and maintenance facilities. The fact that replaceable brake pad retaining pins can be produced domestically will improve maintenance and reducing dependence on foreign sources in spare parts processes and increasing national economic value. It supports the protection of the caliper bodies. Additionally, it replaces complete caliper housings for maintenance purposes. Brake pad retaining pins with lower volume and material value are available as spare parts at 35. availability; what manufacturers, service providers, and vehicle operators need for stocking 4 This contributes to reducing physical space and the economic resources tied up in inventory.
