Description
Technical Field
The present invention relates to a balancing device for a disc brake, and more particularly to a balancing device for allowing a synchronous and symmetrical movement of the brake arms of an electro-hydraulic disc brake.
Background
Disc brakes are widely used in applications suitable for friction braking. Accordingly, disc brakes basically include brake pads that are pressed against a surface of a brake disc to generate friction. The brake pads are mounted on the brake shoes-connected to the clamps or brake arms-which in turn are actuated by pistons to open the brake.
In this type of brake, two vertically oriented brake levers or arms have respective first ends pivotally connected to the base and respective second ends connected by an opening and closing mechanism. Thus, the opening and closing mechanism "closes" and "opens" the brake arm, thereby bringing the brake pad into contact ("closing") or away from ("opening") the brake disc.
This type of brake often has problems associated with the individual tilting of one of the brake arms. In fact, in order to enable the brake to open and close efficiently, it is important to coordinate and synchronize the inclination of the brake arms. Any excessive deflection of one of the brake arms may result in damage, such as irregular pad wear or even brake failure.
Therefore, some solutions have been developed aimed at providing balancing or synchronization of the brake arm oscillation.
Document DE19735127C1 shows a disc brake in which the brake arm is pivotably mounted on the base. The ends of the arms are mounted in a rotational coupling configured to ensure uniform clearance between the brake disc and the brake shoes on the brake arms.
US 2017/0016499 shows a brake device having a spacing assembly that includes a first spacing element and a second spacing element disposed on the brake arm that cooperate to move closer to and away from to maintain the brake arm in a centered position within a centered range.
Although the above-described solutions have some effect in maintaining alignment, there remains a need in the art for a balancing solution that safely, robustly, and effectively maintains alignment of the brake arms, facilitating restoration of balance regardless of the tilt direction of the brake arms.

Detailed Description
The present invention will be described below based on the embodiments of the present invention shown in fig. 1 to 5.
Fig. 1 shows a brake disc brake with electrohydraulic actuation 1, wherein the brake disc is omitted for better visualization. The brake 1 comprises two pivotable vertical brake arms 2, 3, an upper arm 4, the upper arm 4 being pivotably connected to one of the vertical brake arms 3 and a drive system formed by a release actuator 5, a spring brake device 6 and an automatic pad wear adjustment and recovery device 7. The support means (brake shoes) 8 of the pads 9 are fixed to the brake arms 2, 3 on the shaft 10. The lower ends of the pivotable vertical brake arms 2, 3 are pivotably mounted to the base 11 by means of pivots 12 mounted on supports 13 of the base 11.
The main components and operation of this type of brake are well known to those skilled in the art, and therefore the present disclosure will focus on aspects that will help to better understand the description of the balancing system solution.
Fig. 2 shows a rear view of the brake according to the invention, excluding the release actuator 5 and the spring brake means 6.
The brake according to the invention also comprises balancing means 17 for allowing synchronous and symmetrical movement of the electro-hydraulic brake arms.
As shown in fig. 3 and 4, the balancing device 17 includes a connecting portion 18 and a balancing portion 19.
The connecting portion 18 preferably comprises a shaft 18a, the end of which has an engagement means 18b for engagement with the balance. Shaft 18 is connected to pivot arm 3.
As best shown in fig. e, the balance 19 includes a first body portion 19, a second body portion 19b, and a spring portion 19c.
The first body portion 19a is configured to engage the pivot shaft 12 of one of the pivoting brake arms 3. Thus, in the embodiment shown in the figures, the first body portion 19a comprises a plate having a circular bore 19d, the inner diameter of the circular bore 19d being dimensioned to accommodate the diameter of the shaft 12.
The second body part 19b comprises a plate with a fitting part 19e in the form of a cylindrical part, which fitting part 19e accommodates an adjustment screw 19f. The adjusting screw 19f is connected to the cylindrical portion 19e and to the engagement tool 18b of the connecting portion 18.
The spring portion 19c comprises at least one spring 20 connecting the first and second body portions 19a, 19 b. In fig. 3, the spring portion 19c includes two springs.
The balancing device 17 of the present invention serves to balance the pivotable vertical brake arms 2, 3, thereby preventing one of the brake arms from moving out of synchronism with the other arm.
Thus, when the arm 3 is deflected out of synchronism with the arm 2, the spring or springs 30 of the spring portion 19c serve to limit the movement of the arm, thereby returning it to the synchronous position.
For this purpose, the balancing device is adjusted by turning the adjusting screw 19f, as described below on the basis of fig. 5, wherein:
f1 is the force exerted by the actuator 5 on the upper arm 4 for opening the brake and for opposing the force F2 of the brake spring 6;
f2 is the force of the brake spring 6 acting on the upper arm 4, the upper arm 4 transmitting this force to the automatic recovery system 7, the automatic recovery system 7 in turn transmitting the force to the arm 2 (transmitting the same force to the arm 3 by reaction);
f3 is the force exerted by the arm on the shoe 13 of the base 11;
f4 is the vertically projected force F3;
f5 is the horizontally projected force F3;
f6 is the force of the spring 19 adjusted by the adjustment screw 19F;
f7 is the force of the vertical projection F6; and
f8 is the horizontally projected force F6.
The brake balancing device according to the invention is adjusted by the thruster opening the brake so that the forces F1 and F2 are active. The adjusting screw 19F is adjusted until the force F6 of at least one spring of the spring portion 19c has a value such that when the force F6 (force F8) is projected horizontally it is equal to the force F3 (force F5) projected horizontally, thus ensuring a symmetrical opening of the brake arm with respect to the brake disc.
Having described examples of exemplary embodiments of the invention, it is to be understood that the scope of the invention encompasses other possible variations of the inventive concept described, being limited only by the contents of the appended claims, including the possible equivalents thereof.
