Description

Brake bell of a brake disk and brake disk1DESCRIPTION

[0001] , Field of the invention

[0002] , The present invention relates to braking devices comprising brake discs suitable for vehicles.

[0003] , In particular, the present invention relates to a brake disk comprising a brake bell and a braking band coupled to each other with teeth.

[0004] , Prior art

[0005] , In a disc brake, the brake caliper is generally arranged astride the outer peripheral edge of a brake disk, suitable for rotating about an axis of rotation (X-X) defining an axial direction (A-A). In a disc brake, a radial direction (RR) is also defined, substantially orthogonal to said axial direction (XX), and a tangential direction (CC) or circumferential direction (CC), in all its points orthogonal both to said axial direction (XX) and to said radial direction (RR).

[0006] , The brake calipers are constrained to a support structure that remains stationary with respect to the wheel of the vehicle, such as a spindle of a suspension of a vehicle or a hub of a wheel of a vehicle or a fork. The brake caliper usually comprises a caliper body having two elongated portions arranged so as to face opposite braking surfaces of a brake disk, and at least one bridge that connects said two elongated portions to each other. The calipers, when properly operated, press the pads against the braking band, and the braking action is produced by the friction between the pads and the braking band of the brake disk.

[0007] , Brake discs are known in which the bell is made of a material different from that of the braking band, for example, braking bands made of carbon-containing material, and bells made of aluminum or steel, or in deformed and cup-shaped steel sheet and provided with a circumferential toothing for coupling to the braking band.

[0008] , Such brake discs, which we can call composites, allow, for example, a lower weight and thus contribute to reducing the weight of the unsprung masses of the relative vehicle.

[0009] , The known state of the art relating to the dragging of brake bands made of carbon-containing material, or carbon-carbon, can be traced back to three macro-families: dragging with bushings, dragging with teeth, dragging with extended teeth.

[0010] , In the drag with bushings, the drag occurs through "bobbin" elements that interface between the "brake band" and the "bell" which, in turn, is connected to the wheel hub. Its main problem lies in the fact that in the area of the bushings adequate ventilation of the band cannot be achieved, due to the need to leave sufficient material which has the task of providing the necessary structural strength to the components. For high torques / powers and the consequent increase in the number / size of the bushings, the component suitable for cooling the braking band is further penalized. This constructive solution provides for having areas dedicated to ventilation alternating with areas dedicated to dragging, effectively limiting one over the other.

[0011] , A brake disk of this type is known, for example, from WO2020128963A1.

[0012] , Furthermore, document WO2020128963A1 discloses a disc brake whose braking band has internal radial protrusions for the connection, by means of guide elements, to a side-by-side dragging bell.

[0013] , In toothed dragging, the dragging occurs through a form fit (the toothing) which occupies portion of the thickness of the braking band. This solution involves using portion of the thickness of the band to drag the braking band and portion of the thickness of the braking band to ventilate the disk.

[0014] , The form-fitting coupling that causes the dragging is made directly between the bell element and the braking band without the need for additional elements.

[0015] , This solution overcomes the concept of dragging with bushings, so that it is possible to have separation between the dragging area and the area dedicated to the ventilation / cooling of the disk.

[0016] , The limit of this embodiment lies in the fact that for materials of the band that are not sufficiently robust, the dragging portion must in any case be of generous dimensions, taking up portion of the space for ventilation or being very bulky, which is incompatible with the limited space present inside a wheel rim of a vehicle.

[0017] , Furthermore, by dragging only one side of the ventilated braking band, during braking, bending stresses are triggered on the braking band itself, stresses that should be avoided.

[0018] , A brake disk of this type is known, for example, from EP3147529A1.

[0019] , The drag with extended toothing occurs through a form fit (the toothing) which occupies the entire thickness of the brake band.

[0020] , In this embodiment, similarly to that with bushes, there is an alternation between areas of the band intended for the dragging function with areas intended for the passage of air and the cooling of the disk itself. The direct coupling of the bell / band makes it possible to reduce, but not eliminate, the areas in which it is not possible to achieve the ventilation of the disk as occurs in the drag with bushings.

[0021] , A brake disk of this type is known, for example, from BR102018073672A2.

[0022] , In particular, document BR102018073672A2 discloses a brake disk comprising a ventilated braking band or friction ring, in which the inner edge facing the axis of rotation is closed by a toothed ring portion.

[0023] , Other solutions are known from EP1801448A1, W02018050821A1.

[0024] , However, these known solutions are not very suitable for applications where the braking band is made of a resistant but at the same time fragile material, such as, for example, braking bands made of carbon (also known as carbon-carbon) or in carboceramic. In fact, in this case, connecting and guiding elements that are anchored to the braking band are to be avoided, creating localized areas of great stress and high risk of breakage.

[0025] , Furthermore, one of the most significant drawbacks in the dragging of the prior art braking bands made of fragile material by means of dragging elements, typically dragging bells or brake bells, is the impossibility of simultaneously dragging both sides of the ventilated braking band, leaving free the central portion of the inner edge of the braking band which is usually the area of the braking band most dedicated to ventilation.

[0026] , Solution

[0027] , Aim, therefore, of the present invention is to provide a brake band for a brake disk which provides a toothed connection to a brake bell and which allows the dragging of both sides of the brake band, but, at the same time, avoids occluding the ventilation passages of the brake band.

[0028] , This and other objects and advantages are achieved with a brake bell according to claim 1 and a brake disk according to claim 13.

[0029] , Some advantageous embodiments are the subject of the dependent claims.

[0030] , From the analysis of this embodiment, it has emerged that the proposed embodiment makes it possible to obtain a braking band and a brake disk in which the support between the band and the bell is axially distributed.

[0031] , Thanks to the proposed solutions, it is also possible to minimize the non-ideal mass distribution to resist and minimize the thermal distortions generated by the heating of the braking band and, at the same time, the ventilation and above all a heat exchange between the braking band and the cooling air is not compromised.

[0032] , The coupling between the portions of the bell, made with toothed couplings, guarantees the structural integrity and correct rigidity of the braking band and guarantees the best possible coupling between the disk and the bell.

[0033] , Furthermore, thanks to proposed solutions, and in particular a bell that can be separated into two or more portions, it is possible to mount and replace the braking band once the pre-established wear limits have been reached.

[0034] , Thanks to the proposed solutions it is possible to divide the "brake bell" element, which has the task of connecting the braking band to the wheel hub, into two or more distinct components that can be assembled together, hereinafter referred to as the first portion of the bell, or simply "bell", and the second portion of the bell, or simply "external driver".

[0035] , The dragging of the braking band takes place on the outer bands of the latter, not affecting the central area which is completely dedicated to the ventilation / cooling of the disk. In this way, the dragging area is separated from the ventilation area, being able to develop / modify them according to the needs without mutual interference.

[0036] , Compared to a toothed dragging of the prior art which generally has a monolithic bell that drags only one portion of the band, this embodiment is able to drag both folders or portions of the braking band, in fact being more robust and allowing the transmission of higher torques, but at the same time not going to the detriment of ventilation. It goes without saying that this aspect leads to a different constructive form deriving from the need to have the bell split, or in several portions, to be reassembled, once the braking band has been positioned on the bell.

[0037] , Some of the elements constituting this embodiment can be made by mechanical machining by removal of shavings, in particular the bell.

[0038] , The driver could be made with the aid of laser cutting, water cutting or other technology suitable for maintaining the shape and the appropriate tolerances provided for the piece.

[0039] , Another advantage of the proposed embodiment with respect to traditional toothed driving mechanisms is that of having the driving compartment closed axially (that is, in the axial direction A-A) and not passing on both sides of the braking band. In this way the dragging structure is more robust than a traditional one which has an axially "open" tooth, and allows to have greater resistance with less thickness at the same size.

[0040] , The axially closed compartment structure provides a further advantage in terms of ventilation because it allows to exploit the volume contained between the two faces on which the braking band is dragged to increase the available exchange surface with respect to a traditional drive.

[0041] , A variant of the basic configuration of the embodiment provides for the integration of an axial sealing ring and an external driver in a single element.

[0042] , Compared to the solution in separate portions, the elimination of a physical component facilitates the management of the components.

[0043] , This variant enables weight savings at the expense of greater manufacturing complexity which requires machining by removal of material also for the construction of the integrated driver.
