Definitions

  • the invention relates to a self-energizing disc brake having the features of the preamble of claim 1.
  • the disc brake is provided in particular as a wheel brake of a motor vehicle (motorcycle, motor vehicle).
  • Such a disc brake is known from the published patent application DE 103 02 516 A1.
  • the known disc brake has a brake caliper, in which on one side of a brake disc, a friction brake lining is arranged, which can be pressed to a brake actuation with an actuating device against the brake disc.
  • the known disc brake optionally provides an electromechanical actuating device with an electric motor, possibly a reduction gear and a spindle drive, that is, a helical gear, or a hydraulic actuating device with a hydraulic piston.
  • the actuator is on the same side of the Brake disc as the friction brake pad that can be pressed against the brake disk with it and is arranged on or in the brake caliper as a self-reinforcing device.
  • the actuator is also referred to as an actuator.
  • the known disc brake has a wedge mechanism with a wedge surface extending obliquely at a wedge angle to the brake disk, against and / or with which the friction brake lining is supported and along which it can be moved.
  • the wedge surface may be provided on / in the brake caliper and / or on the brake lining, in particular on its rear side facing away from the brake disk. If the rotating brake disk exerts a frictional force on the friction brake lining pressed against it when the disk brake is actuated, the support of the friction brake lining in the wedge angle on the wedge surface of the wedge mechanism effects a supporting force on the friction brake lining, which is directed perpendicular to the wedge surface.
  • a component of the supporting force acts on the friction brake lining perpendicular to the brake disk.
  • This component of the supporting force of the wedge mechanism is a pressing force that presses the friction brake lining against the brake disk.
  • the pressing force caused by the wedge mechanism acts on the friction brake lining in addition to an actuating force exerted by the actuating device, which together with the pressing force causes a clamping force with which the friction brake lining is pressed against the brake disk.
  • the wedge mechanism converts the frictional force exerted by the rotating brake disc on the friction brake pad pressed against it when the disc brake is actuated into a pressing force pressing against the brake disc against the brake disc brake pad. Due to the pressing force exerted on the friction brake lining in addition to the actuating force, a braking force of the disk brake is increased, the wedge mechanism causes a self-reinforcement of the disk brake.
  • the self-energizing is effective in both directions of rotation of the brake disc, the known disc brake with a double wedge mechanism oppositely inclined to the brake disc extending wedge surfaces.
  • the brake disc always displaces the friction brake lining pressed against it along the wedge surface, which runs obliquely toward the brake disk in the direction of rotation.
  • the known disc brake can also be understood as having two self-reinforcing devices which are each effective in a rotational direction of the brake disc.
  • the wedge mechanism acts on the brake caliper of the known disc brake in the sense of widening. Since the caliper is not absolutely rigid in practice, the wedge mechanism causes an elastic widening of the brake caliper, which lengthens a actuating travel of the actuating device. An actuation energy required for the brake actuation is correspondingly increased.
  • the self-energizing device of the disc brake according to the invention with the features of claim 1 is supported in both directions of rotation of the brake disc at different points of the caliper.
  • this is possible by arranging the wedge surfaces, which run at an angle opposite to the brake disk, at different points of the brake caliper, ie, they are supported at different points of the brake caliper.
  • the support levers opposite to the brake disk for effecting the self-reinforcement in the two directions of rotation of the brake disk can be articulated at different points of the brake caliper.
  • the pistons of the self-boosting device can be arranged at different points of the brake caliper.
  • the deformation of the caliper is in particular a widening due to the pressing force that causes the self-energizing device in a braking operation.
  • the actuating device of the brake disc is also supported on the different, separate points of the brake caliper, on which the self-reinforcing device is supported.
  • Support for the purposes of the invention is to be understood as a holding or attachment.
  • the caliper deforms due to the pressing force which causes the self-energizing device in a braking operation, deform or move only the body or areas of the brake caliper on which the self-energizing device is supported at the respective rotational direction of the brake disc.
  • the support of the actuating device in or on the brake caliper of the disc brake according to the invention is therefore not influenced by the deformation of the brake caliper due to the pressure force caused by the self-energizing device. That is, the position (s) of the caliper supporting the actuator rather than the self-energizing means in the respective rotational direction of the brake disc are not acted upon by the pressing force which causes the self-energizing means, but only by the operating force of the actuator. The deformation or movement of the actuating device in the respective direction of rotation of the brake disc supporting position / s of the caliper is thereby reduced.
  • the invention shortens the actuating travel to be performed by the actuating device and the actuating energy required for the brake actuation.
  • Advantages of the invention are a possible reduced mass and power consumption of the actuator.
  • the shortened by the invention actuating travel actuators with a short actuation travel as Ele- romagnete or possibly piezoelectric elements can be used. Possibly.
  • the separation of the various points of the caliper reduces noise and reduces vibration excitation.
  • the electrical system of a motor vehicle is less heavily burdened by the lower actuation energy, the control or regulating electronics for the brake actuation can be designed for lower power.
  • claim 2 provides an incision, so for example, a slot in the brake caliper, which divides the caliper into areas that are mutually movable by deformation.
  • the separate areas have the various locations at which the self-energizing device is supported in opposite directions when the brake disk rotates.
  • the incision separates the brake caliper in a region which can also be referred to as a yoke and spans the brake disk on the circumference and / or in an area which can also be referred to as a leg on the side of the brake disk on which the self-energizing device is located and is located or supported on the caliper.
  • On the other side of the brake disc of the caliper is formed without incision contiguous and thus connects the separated by the incision and by deformation mutually movable areas.
  • An embodiment of the invention according to claim 4 provides a Doppelram- pen mechanism for the effective in both directions of rotation of the brake disc self-energizing device.
  • the ramp angle of a ramp mechanism changes in the course of the ramp.
  • a decreasing with increasing displacement of the friction brake lining along the ramp ramp angle increases the self-boosting at high clamping and braking force.
  • a ramp mechanism can be understood as a generalization of a wedge mechanism, wherein a wedge mechanism a borderline case of a ramp mechanism, namely with the length of the ramp or the wedge constant ramp or wedge angle are understood.
  • the double ramp mechanism like the double wedge mechanism, has rising ramps in both directions of rotation of the brake disc to achieve self-energizing in both directions of rotation of the brake disc.
  • the invention is not limited to wedge or ramp mechanisms, it may also have other mechanical self-reinforcing devices, for example with support levers or a non-mechanical, for example, hydraulic self-reinforcing device. Also hydraulic self-reinforcing devices are known and should therefore not be explained in detail at this point.
