Background

Along with the increasing requirements of people on energy conservation and environmental protection, it is more and more important to reduce the running resistance of the whole vehicle to reduce the energy consumption of the whole vehicle and increase the running mileage. A great part of the running resistance of the whole vehicle is derived from the dragging force of the brake. A brake is a device having a function of decelerating, stopping, or maintaining a stopped state of a moving member (or a moving machine), and is a machine component that stops or decelerates a moving member in a machine. Commonly called brake and brake. The brake mainly comprises a braking frame, a braking piece, an operating device and the like. Some brakes are also equipped with automatic adjustment of the brake clearance.

The caliper brake is a brake commonly used for a whole vehicle. In the braking process of the whole vehicle, the brake converts the brake hydraulic pressure into the pressure of the friction plate pressing on the brake disc to generate friction force, so that brake torque is generated to decelerate or stop the vehicle. However, when the brake is released, the friction plate cannot be actively separated from the brake disc, so that the friction plate and the brake disc can still rub to generate a dragging force during the running of the vehicle, thereby increasing the energy consumption of the whole vehicle.

In the prior art, a steel disc spring is generally adopted to provide a force for a friction disc to separate from a brake disc, the force bearing point is arranged at the upper end of a back plate of the friction disc, and when braking is relieved, the steel disc spring pushes the friction disc to separate from the brake disc, so that the friction disc is actively returned. However, the above-described scheme has the following problems:

the friction plate is unbalanced in stress, and the friction plate tends to incline in the caliper, so that the friction plate cannot be completely separated from the brake disc, and the problem of offset wear of the friction plate can occur for a long time;

along with the normal wearing and tearing of friction disc and brake disc, the friction disc leads to pushing the starting force grow of friction disc to the compression grow of return mechanism spring, can influence whole brake caliper's starting pressure.
