Description

Be used for the vehicle braked device

The present invention relates to improvement, particularly to the improvement of the configuration of rotating disk and brake pad to disk type braker parts and part.

Most traditional vehicle brakes generally include a rotating disk with a pair of friction material block, and this friction material block is on the relative braking surface that acts on rotating disk under the environment of drying respectively.There are many significant disadvantages in this system, and promptly rotating disk and particularly friction material block can be worn in use, and abrasive particle is discharged into the atmosphere, this situation be pollution arranged and also jeopardize health probably.In addition, the performance of this break is inhomogeneous and can produce significant the change after after a while, and this is especially because brake pad weares and teares and fall in use such as sleet or other liquid that the first-class extraneous factor of braking surface causes.

Known wet disc brake has some forms like this, wherein is provided with a plurality of friction material dishes in the brake shell of the sealing that oil is housed.This wet disc brake use viscosity in the time of 100 ℃ usually is 7～8cst (mm ²/ s) or bigger oil.It is 100 low-viscosity index that this oil also has usually, makes viscosity that bigger variation be arranged when the oil temperature changes like this.The friction material dish made make some have the friction material disc spins of groove, the dish of other surface smoothing is then static, and realizes braking action by vertically dish being pushed away together.Oil is main as freezing mixture, for this reason, makes oil cycle through groove on the dish of rotation.But,,, think that 7-8 centistoke or higher oil are necessary to suppress stick-slip, wearing and tearing and the local superheating of brake friction dish and plate in order to promote hydrodynamic lubrication and to increase the ability of " extruding " in the friction zone renitency that engages one another.The shortcoming of utilizing the hydrodynamic lubrication mode is for producing lower friction factor in the district that engages one another.Like this, because these oil have produced adverse influence to frictional strength, must have the much bigger braking surface area that provides by a plurality of dishes.In addition, the configuration of these systems usually configuration with dry friction system described in the epimere content is obviously different, therefore is difficult to realize the corresponding parts of exchange.

Such one type vehicle braked device assembly that is used for is also disclosed in the international patent application No.PCT/AU92/00540 of a previous application, it comprises that one is suitable for the single rotating disk that rotates with axle head and the static housing of an encirclement rotating disk with one or more sealings, the acting as of sealing forms a braking action district that surrounds above-mentioned rotating disk at least be basically sealing but pressure balanced zone.A pair of brake pad is set at least, engages, also so form described shell simultaneously, so that it can include liquid at least in part braking district with relative braking surface with the circumferential district of rotating disk.In the part of its disclosure, above-mentioned international patent application points out that liquid can be maintained at the level height place that surpasses sealing, invades the inside of shell so that prevent pollutant, particularly invades in the zone of braking surface and brake pad.Above-mentioned international patent application also discloses the brake pad that comprises the base plate that is fixed with friction material thereon, and friction material has the face that engages with rotating disk, forms the one or more grooves with special structure shape on this face.But, and groove wherein is set assisting other oil-immersed type braking system of oily circuit opposite, above-mentioned braking device only from liquid or lubricated obtain few benefit and groove for oil is scraped and discharges and be provided with from braking surface.

Referring now to Fig. 1 and 2,, wherein shows one and be suitable for being fixed on rotating disk 50 on the automobile axle head by any suitable device.This rotating disk has into the

relative braking surface

51,52 of annular radial.One static shell 53 (only showing the part in Fig. 2) defines a braking action district 54 of the

encirclement braking surface

51,52 of sealing basically, and this braking action district is formed by unshowned sealing.Shell 53 is loaded with the liquid as the light viscosity oil in use.In PCT/AU92/00540, advise, oil mass should be many, but have been found that now this is unnecessary, and best, needed just to make liquid be enough to keep sealing be moistening in use, just by splashing or similar approach is accomplished above-mentioned requirements.Have been found that the liquid height is approximately vertical height 1/4th enough of brake assembly.Be suitable for the brake slipper that engages with

relative braking surface

51,52 the location can by (approximately locate) shown in the

label

67,68 to half of brake assembly height or can be arranged in otherwise above 1/4th districts 80,81 (Fig. 1).

As depicted in figs. 1 and 2, the radially inward edge 55 of

braking surface

51,52 is preferably by undercut, thereby forms circumferential liquid collection region 56,57, to be collected on the surface within the edge 55 flowing liquid eccentrically.Then, this liquid that is collected radial passage 58 of can flowing through is so that the amount of liquid on the

surface

51,52 is kept to minimum.

Usually all wish to make the amount of liquid on the interface between the braking surface of the braking surface of rotating disk and brake pad minimized.Foregoing is exactly the explanation of relevant this respect.Other factors is included in and adopts light viscosity oil as liquid in the shell, this is because keep low viscosity to make low friction factor to be arranged between brake component when not applying braking force, but allows high friction factor during braking when applying braking force on brake slipper.Viscosity is up to the oil of ISO 15 in the time of 40 ℃ though can adopt, and the still employing of comparative optimization can provide the oil in ISO 3 to ISO 7 scopes of improved performance.More more specifically, preferred viscosities in the time of 100 ℃ less than 7 (being preferably 2～5) cst (mm ²/ s) synthetic mineral oil.The shortcoming of the ultra-low viscosity oil as 2cst that the past adopts is that traditional ultra-low viscosity oil has high volatility and low flash-point.Now, this problem has been superhigh viscosity index oil by so-called synthetic mineral oil as the trade mark based on the Shell Oil Company, i.e. the oil of XHVI I and XHVI II oil and being resolved.These oil can provide such flash-point and volatility, promptly they can be in existing braking system owing to ultra-low viscosity that it had is used, but do not have the problem of flash-point and volatility aspect.

Can recognize fully that oil viscosity is that the reduction with temperature increases, and reduces with the rising of temperature.In order to overcome the problem that those possibilities produce owing to (heat or cold) operation under the temperature conditions of sternness, suggestion is installed a heat exchanger 70 as illustrated in fig. 1 and 2 in the oil of brake shell.Heat exchanger 70 can be by being suitable for carrying engine cooling water (being about 50 ℃ usually) to make by metal tube (as Stainless Steel Tube) wherein, with the oil in the heating shell when essential.Suitable valve and temperature transducer can be set, so that this kind heating efficiency only just is provided in the time need keeping the oily temperature in the brake assembly in allowed limits.If in the environment of extreme heat, use brake assembly, also may need to carry cooling liquid by heat exchanger 70.This liquid can by any suitable device (comprise such as may be contained on the vehicle air-conditioning equipment or according to certain purposes and intrinsic device) cooling.If desired, heat exchanger 70 can form with the passage of casting in the brake assembly shell.

Because brake assembly seals, so the wearing and tearing particle that falls down from brake slipper and rotating disk will be retained in the shell.This particle that is included in the oil can produce the coated membrane of wearing and tearing particle/oil on the rotating disk braking surface, and can produce bad braking characteristic.Therefore, wish at least from the zone of the fitting surface of brake slipper and rotating disk, to remove this particle.Light viscosity oil can also be more easily than heavy oil and this wearing and tearing particle is precipitated out.

The level that can the wearing and tearing particle of brake slipper be separated to effectively permission acceptance by the gravity settling and the whole centrifugation technique of integral body.Therefore, shell 53 can comprise one or several " mud chamber " 59 in the oil sump of brake shell.Mud chamber 59 can cast in inner housing part 60 or frame part 61, or is formed by the

wall shape member

62,63 that is fixed by bolts on the housing parts at label 64 places.If desired, the root edge of

wall shape member

62,63 can be sealed on the bottom wall surface of corresponding housing parts by being provided with through sunk part mach or casting.Also can use

magnet plug

65,66 metal granule sucked in the mud chamber 59 and when taking off magnet plug, the wearing and tearing particle can be removed from these mud chambers and not discarded most of oil.If the mud chamber is by selecting its position with the consistent oil stream that forms forced flow with the oil extraction groove of brake slipper, then each chamber will remain and be full of oil, and when brake disc is rotating, one slowly still continuous oil stream will be arranged through the mud chamber.When rotating disk is in static or rotate,, the most of oil in the oil sump all is trapped in the mud chamber various the time according to the use pattern of break.

Under the situation of " slowly " oil stream, bigger and heavier particle is collected through mud chamber 59.Between such as night or other lay-up period, when rotating disk was motionless, the gravitational settling of brake pads wear particle was proceeded, particularly those otherwise the fine grained that will stop with state of suspension.In order further to promote the delay of wearing and tearing particle, can comprise one or more spacing blocks 69 of using material to do in the mud chamber 59 as the steel wool.Using break after the break not experience under the situation of lay-up period clocklike, can contain the oil of the particle that weares and teares with an intrinsic or external pump circulation, make it through an external filter.This structure also can be included in the member that cools off or heat waste oil in the purification process simultaneously.

baffle plate

82,83 and 84,85.Each

baffle plate

82,83,84,85 to be arranged to make minimum interval is arranged between baffle plate and the rotating

disk braking surface

51,52, thereby greatly reduce splashing in a large number of liquid medium, or be forced into the liquid medium of the upper area of shell 53 by the effect of rotating disk 50 in use.In addition, each bolt installation base 88 with the hole 90 that is suitable for admitting the bolt 87 that
