Description

Logo plate for caliper housing and caliper brake with same

The present invention relates to a logo plate for a caliper housing, and more particularly, to a logo plate mounted on the caliper housing.

In general, a caliper brake mounted on a vehicle is a device for decelerating, stopping, or maintaining a stopped state of a vehicle while driving, and obtains a braking force by strongly pressing a disk-shaped disk rotating together with a wheel with pads from both sides.

These caliper brakes are coupled to a pair of pad plates with friction pads attached to the vehicle body, and the pair of pad plates are spaced apart from each other by a certain distance so that the carrier and the pair of pad plates are slidably supported by a disk. It has a caliper housing slidably coupled to the carrier.

A cylinder on which a piston is installed is provided at the rear part of the caliper housing, and a finger part formed by bending downward is provided at the front part. In such a caliper brake, a piston provided in a cylinder pushes the pad plate on one side, and the caliper housing moves by the reaction force, and a finger portion provided in the front portion of the caliper housing pushes the other pad plate toward the disk. Accordingly, a pair of pad plates presses the disk from both sides to perform braking.

Recently, when ordering a disc brake as described above, various options for styling have been requested at the request of a customer. Regardless of the method or format, the majority of additional parts for styling (such as plates or clips with a logo) or markings are used. In addition, as such disc brakes are installed so as to be identifiable from the outside of the vehicle, it is required to install a plate with a logo for the product's trademark or advertisement effect.

However, in the case of a plate with an existing logo, when it is mounted on the caliper housing, the number of components for mounting increases as the number of components for mounting increases as it is fastened to the caliper housing with bolts or is mounted by press fitting. There is a problem of poor cost and productivity due to the increase in process.

Embodiments of the present invention are intended to provide a logo plate for a caliper housing with easy assembly and a caliper brake having the same.

In this case, the lower surface 51a of the first elastic panel 51 maintains a state in which both sides of the first elastic panel 51 are in close contact with the seating groove 24 relative to the locking protrusion 52, so the logo plate 40 ) Is shaken, it is possible to stably support the bending moments acting on both sides of the locking protrusion 52, thereby preventing the logo plate 40 from being separated from the caliper housing 20.

Hereinafter, a hook coupling part according to a second embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG. 6.

Referring to FIG. 6, the locking protrusion 52a provided in the first hook engaging portion 50 located in the central region of the rear surface 42b of the main body 42 is at the free end 51b of the first elastic panel 51. It may be provided in a form bent downward. The locking protrusion 52a bent in the first elastic panel 51 is vertically bent, but is not limited thereto. For example, the locking protrusion 52a may be inclinedly bent to have an outer angle. In this case, the locking groove 25 formed in the caliper housing 20 may be formed to have an inclination corresponding to the locking projection 52a. Through this configuration, it is easy to attach and detach the logo plate 40 mounted on the caliper housing 20, so that maintenance work becomes convenient when the pad installed on the caliper housing 20 is replaced.

Hereinafter, a hook coupling part according to a third embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG. 7.

Referring to FIG. 7, in the first elastic panel 51 according to the third embodiment, a locking groove 51c may be formed in place of the locking jaw, and the locking groove 24 of the caliper housing 20 has a locking groove ( 51c) may be formed to protrude a locking projection (24a) that can be supported by. In this case, when the first elastic panel 51 enters along the mounting groove 24, the first elastic panel 51 passes through the locking projection 24a, and the locking projection 24a becomes the locking groove 51c. It enters into and bonds are established. Meanwhile, although not shown, the second elastic panel 61 may also be provided with the same binding structure as the first elastic panel 51.

Hereinafter, a hook coupling part according to a fourth embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG. 8.

Referring to FIG. 8, the first elastic panel 51 according to the fourth embodiment is installed so as to be rotatable with respect to the axis 42c at the rear surface 42b of the main body 42, and 1 A torsion spring 42d for elastically supporting the elastic panel 51 may be installed. Through this, it is possible to prevent separation due to damage of the first elastic panel 51 by increasing the structural rigidity of the first elastic panel 51 that is deformed when the logo plate 40 is attached or detached to the caliper housing 20. There will be. Meanwhile, although not shown, the second elastic panel 61 may also be provided with the same binding structure as the first elastic panel 51. In addition, the first elastic panel 51 of the hook coupling portion of the second and third embodiments may also be installed to rotate while supported by the torsion spring.
