Description

Spring reed for disc brake caliper
Technical Field
The invention relates to a component and a structural relation inside a disc brake caliper, in particular to an elastic reed for the disc brake caliper.
Background
The disc brake caliper is generally arranged to rotate across a radially circumferential outer boundary of the brake disc about a rotation axis defining an axial direction Z-Z, a radial direction R-R being defined in the disc brake caliper, which radial direction is orthogonal to said axial direction Z-Z, and a tangential direction C-C being defined which is orthogonal to both said axial direction Z-Z and radial direction R-R.
The brake caliper generally comprises two opposite side caliper bodies, each having at least one piston cylinder mounted therein, each piston being capable of exerting a thrust force on a brake pad facing it against a braking surface of the brake disc, the two opposite brake pads being in abutment against two opposite braking surfaces of the brake disc for exerting a braking action on the vehicle.
The brake pads generally comprise a brake lining and a friction material secured thereto, the piston-facing side of the brake lining being adapted to be acted upon by a piston to cause displacement of the brake pad in an axial direction Z-Z; at the same time, the brake pad also comprises two sides facing the caliper body, typically with a gap between the two sides and the caliper body.
When the disc brake caliper rotates clockwise about the axial direction Z-Z, the disc brake caliper pushes the pistons hydraulically against two opposing brake pads against two opposing braking surfaces of the disc brake, whereby the two brake pads are subjected to forces in a tangential positive direction (C-C) and displace until the brake pads contact one side of the caliper body and completely eliminate the gap, while the gap between the other side of the brake pads and the caliper body increases to the sum of the previous two side gaps, typically in milliseconds, and the impact energy of the brake pads on the caliper body is partially dissipated as heat, partially used to create deformation of the brake pads and the caliper body, and the remainder is transferred all around in the form of sound waves;
when the braking action is finished, the piston returns to the position where the hydraulic pressure is not applied, and the brake pad keeps single-side contact with the caliper body under the condition of no external force action and cannot return to the state of the gap between the two sides;
the fact that the brake pads are only in a single-sided clearance with the caliper body is undesirable because, when the brake disc rotates anticlockwise around the axial direction Z-Z, the disc brake caliper pushes the piston again by hydraulic pressure, pushing the two opposite brake pads against the two opposite braking surfaces of the disc, the two brake pads are subjected to forces in the tangential negative direction (C-C) and displace, at which time the brake pads are in a clearance with the caliper body only on one side and the clearance is the sum of the previous clearances on both sides, so that the impact energy generated by the contact of the brake pads with the caliper body is greater than when both sides are in clearance, and the sound decibel value generated is also higher;
such sounds have a single impact sound, a continuous ringing sound, or intermittent trembling sounds, which are often regarded as undesirable, and may be regarded as noise, as well as giving the driver a question of safety of the vehicle.
When the brake pad and the caliper body are in a state that stress on both sides is unbalanced, and when braking is finished, the brake pad cannot be completely restored to the initial position, one side cannot be separated from the brake disc surface, and a residual drag torque is generated, which is undesirable because continuous friction between the brake pad and the brake disc causes noise, and causes additional wear and additional vehicle energy consumption.
For this reason, it is known to reduce the gap between the brake pad and the caliper body as much as possible, which indeed reduces the impact energy, thus reducing the decibel value of the sound and reducing the probability of being recognized by the human ear, but there is a lower limit to the reduction of the gap, when the vehicle is continuously braked, the brake pad and the caliper body are heated up and expand, when the gap between the caliper body and the brake pad is smaller than the expansion of the brake pad and the caliper body, the caliper body and the brake pad will be stuck, causing a reduction in braking effectiveness, which is unacceptable compared to noise; the known scheme cannot completely eliminate noise generated by the collision between the brake pad and the caliper body on the premise of ensuring that the caliper body and the brake pad are not blocked; and decreasing the clearance is detrimental to the disengagement of the brake pads from the brake disc, possibly further increasing the residual drag torque.
Furthermore, in the known solution, the rubber shock-absorbing layer is adhered to the side surface of the brake pad contacting the brake caliper body, and the design is to absorb a part of impact energy by utilizing the shock-absorbing damping characteristic of the rubber, so that the decibel value is reduced and the probability of being recognized by human ears is reduced. Meanwhile, the friction coefficient between the rubber layer and the caliper body is larger than that between the brake lining plate and the caliper body, so that the release of the brake lining plate and the brake disc is not facilitated, and the residual drag torque can be further increased.
The known solutions do not meet the need of eliminating noise and reducing residual drag torque.
