Description
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of vehicle braking, and particularly relates to a brake caliper, a brake system, a vehicle and a brake control method.
Background
When the brake caliper brakes normally, oil is pressed into the caliper, and a piston of the caliper pushes the brake pads on the inner side and the outer side to press the brake disc under the hydraulic action, so that friction torque is generated to brake. At this time, the edge of the rectangular seal ring in the wheel cylinder groove is elastically deformed slightly by the frictional force of the piston. When the brake is released, the piston returns by the elasticity of the sealing ring and the return spring. Besides the sealing function, the sealing ring also plays the roles of piston return and automatic clearance adjustment. If the abrasion of the clearance between the brake pads on the inner side and the outer side and the brake disc is increased, the piston can still move after the deformation of the sealing ring reaches the limit during braking until the brake pads on the inner side and the outer side press the brake disc. After the brake is released, the distance for pushing the piston back by the moment sealing ring is the same as that before abrasion, and the standard value is still kept. However, the caliper body of the existing brake caliper is not provided with an active return mechanism and is thrown away by the brake disc, but the distance between the thrown caliper body and the two sides of the brake disc cannot be guaranteed to be the same, the return amount of the brake discs on the inner side and the outer side cannot be the same, the dragging torque cannot be kept at a small level, the brake disc is heated, the running resistance is increased, the oil consumption is increased, especially, the electricity consumption is increased for a new energy vehicle, and the endurance is reduced.
The prior art discloses a device for reducing dragging torque of a new energy vehicle by an electromagnetic system, which comprises an EPB (Electrical Park Brake), a friction plate, a Brake disc, a caliper body bracket, a master cylinder and a distance measuring unit. The brake disc is fixedly connected with the caliper body support, and two friction plates are respectively arranged on two sides of the brake disc. The distance measuring group is provided with a distance measuring instrument, a base, a magnet and an electromagnetic coil. The distance between the left end and the right end of the part of the friction plate close to the brake disc is smaller than the distance between the left end and the right end of the part of the friction plate far away from the brake disc, so that one step or two symmetrical steps are formed. The step part of the friction plate on the side of the main cylinder is provided with a distance measuring group, and the base is fixedly connected with the clamp body bracket. The distance measuring instrument, the magnet and the electromagnetic coil are connected with the base. Wherein the distance meter is close to the corresponding brake disc, and the magnet is located between the distance meter and the electromagnetic coil.
The scheme adds a ranging group on the basis of the traditional EPB and works according to the following principle:
when the vehicle is normally braked, the distance L from the base to the brake disc is monitored by the distance meter and is used as a standard distance; after the vehicle brake is released, the distance meter obtains the distance L1 from the base to the brake disc at the moment.
When L1 is more than or equal to L +0.2 +/-0.1, the clearance is normal, the dragging torque is in a normal range, and the device does not work; when L1 is less than L +0.2 +/-0.1, the electromagnetic coil is electrified to generate magnetic force which repels the magnet to push the friction plate away from the brake disc, so that the dragging torque is reduced.
The default disc clearance of the conventional device is 0.2 +/-0.1, the limitation exists, the magnet is only added on one side of the brake pad, the caliper body is of a floating structure and cannot be centered (the distance from the brake disc on the inner side and the brake disc on the outer side to the caliper body is the same), the brake pads on the two sides cannot be simultaneously far away from the brake disc, and the dragging moment cannot be really reduced.

acquiring a brake stopping signal (when the brake stopping is detected and the brake pedal 100 is released), and controlling the caliper body 1 to be kept at the central position so as to limit the first brake block 6 and the second brake block 7 at the brake releasing position; wherein, in the brake release position of the first brake pad 6 and the second brake pad 7, a first distance between the first brake pad 6 and the brake disc 5 is equal to a second distance between the second brake pad 7 and the brake disc 5.
In one embodiment, the logic for determining that the brake pedal 100 is depressed is:
when the electronic control unit 400 detects an off signal (a brake light is on) of the brake light switch 200 and the electronic control unit 400 reads that the master cylinder pressure obtained by the electronic stability program control system 500 reaches a certain value (for example, 10bar), it is determined that the brake pedal 100 is pressed and a brake request is input.
In one embodiment, the logic for determining that the brake pedal 100 is released is:
when the electronic control unit 400 detects that the stop lamp switch 200 is turned on (the stop lamp is turned off), and the electronic control unit 400 reads that the master cylinder pressure obtained by the electronic stability program control system 500 is 0, it is determined that the brake pedal 100 is released, and this braking is completed.
In one embodiment, obtaining the brake stop signal to control the caliper body 1 to be maintained at the center position to limit the first brake pad 6 and the second brake pad 7 at the brake release position includes:
after the stop brake signal is acquired, the relative displacement between the caliper body 1 and the caliper body support 2 when the caliper body is stopped is acquired.
Judging whether the relative displacement is equal to the relative displacement between the clamp body 1 and the clamp body bracket 2 when the clamp body is kept at the central position; if not, the clamp body centering device 4 drives the clamp body 1 to move, and the clamp body 1 is kept at the centering position.
In one embodiment, before the brake disc 5, the first brake pad 6 and the second brake disc 7 are not worn (for example, when the brake disc is newly loaded), the method further comprises the step of calibrating the centering relative displacement:
before the brake disc 5, the first brake disc 6 and the second brake disc 7 are not worn (before the vehicle is taken off the line or is put into use, and the like), the method further comprises the step of calibrating the relative displacement between the caliper body 1 and the caliper body bracket 2 when the caliper body 1 is kept at the central position:
when the first brake pad 6 and the second brake pad 7 are at the initial positions, the caliper body 1 is controlled to move in a direction in which the piston 8 is away from the brake disc 5 until the second brake pad 7 is attached to the brake disc 5, and the absolute value L1 of the relative displacement between the caliper body 1 and the caliper body holder 2 at that time is detected.
When the first brake pad 6 and the second brake pad 7 are at the initial positions, the caliper body 1 is controlled to move in a direction in which the piston 8 approaches the brake disc 5 until the first brake pad 6 abuts the brake disc 5, and the absolute value L2 of the relative displacement between the caliper body 1 and the caliper body holder 2 at that time is detected.
The caliper body 1 is controlled to move relative displacement (L1+ L2)/2 in the direction that the piston 8 moves away from the brake disc 5, so that the caliper body 1 returns to the central position, and the relative displacement of the caliper body 1 and the caliper body bracket 2 is calibrated to be 0 when the caliper body 1 is kept at the central position.
In an embodiment, after detecting that the brake disk 5, the first brake pad 6 and the second brake disk 7 are worn, the method further includes:
the brake pedal 100 is stepped on to brake, and the absolute value of the relative displacement L3 between the caliper 1 and the caliper bracket 2 in the braking state is obtained.
After the stop brake signal is acquired, the relative displacement between the caliper body 1 and the caliper body support 2 when the caliper body is stopped is acquired.
Judging whether the relative displacement is equal to L3- (L1+ L2)/2; if not, the clamp body centering device 4 drives the clamp body 1 to move and keep at the centering position.
The method for detecting the abrasion of the brake disc 5, the first brake pad 6 and the second brake disc 7 comprises the following steps:
when the caliper body 1 moves by a distance not equal to (L1+ L2)/2 from the brake release state to the brake state, it is determined that one or more of the brake disk 5, the first brake disk 6, and the second brake disk 7 are worn.
After the stop brake signal is acquired, when it is acquired that the relative displacement between the caliper body 1 and the caliper body support 2 when the caliper body 1 is stopped is larger than the relative displacement between the caliper body 1 and the caliper body support 2 when the caliper body 1 is kept at the center position, it indicates that the caliper body 1 is currently located on the inner side of the center position (the side where the first brake pad 6 is located), at this time, the electromagnetic coil 402 is energized in the forward direction, and the caliper body 1 moves outward until the center position is returned. After the stop brake signal is acquired, it is acquired that the relative displacement between the caliper body 1 and the caliper body support 2 when the caliper body 1 is stopped is smaller than the relative displacement between the caliper body 1 and the caliper body support 2 when the caliper body 1 is kept at the center position, which indicates that the caliper body 1 is currently located on the outer side of the center position (the side where the second brake pad 7 is located), at this time, the electromagnetic coil 402 is energized in the reverse direction, and the caliper body 1 moves inward until the center position is returned.
When the brake disk 5, the first brake disk 6, and the second brake disk 7 are not worn, the relative displacement between the caliper body 1 and the caliper body holder 2 when the caliper body is held at the center position is 0. At this time, after the stop brake signal is acquired, when it is acquired that the relative displacement between the caliper body 1 and the caliper body holder 2 when the caliper body 1 is stopped is greater than 0, it indicates that the caliper body 1 is currently located inside the center position, and at this time, the electromagnetic coil 402 is energized in the forward direction, and the caliper body 1 moves outward until it returns to the center position. After the stop brake signal is acquired, when the relative displacement between the caliper body 1 and the caliper body support 2 is acquired to be less than 0 when the caliper body 1 stops, the caliper body 1 is currently located on the outer side of the central position, at the moment, the electromagnetic coil 402 is electrified reversely, and the caliper body 1 moves inwards until the caliper body 1 returns to the central position.
When the brake disc 5, the first brake disc 6, and the second brake disc 7 are worn, the relative displacement between the caliper body 1 and the caliper body holder 2 when the caliper body is held at the center position is L3- (L1+ L2)/2. At this time, when it is acquired that the relative displacement of the caliper 1 with respect to the caliper holder 2 at the time of stopping is greater than L3- (L1+ L2)/2 after acquiring the stop brake signal, indicating that the caliper 1 is currently located inside the center position, the electromagnetic coil 402 is energized in the forward direction, and the caliper 1 moves outward until it returns to the center position. When the relative displacement of the caliper 1 with respect to the caliper body holder 2 when stopped is less than L3- (L1+ L2)/2 after acquiring the stop brake signal, indicating that the caliper body 1 is currently located outside the center position, the electromagnetic coil 402 is energized in the reverse direction, and the caliper body 1 moves inward until it returns to the center position.
The above description is only for the purpose of illustrating the preferred embodiments of the present invention and is not to be construed as limiting the invention, and any modifications, equivalents and improvements made within the spirit and principle of the present invention are intended to be included within the scope of the present invention.
