Definitions

  • This invention relates to a method and apparatus (in the form of a disc brake) for mounting disc brake friction elements, particularly friction elements for spot-type automotive disc brakes but not exclusively so.
  • the disc brake is of the kind in which at least one axially movably mounted rotatable brake disc is employed in association with a fixed or earthed caliper or mounting on which at least one friction element is slidably mounted.
  • the brake may employ two or more slidable discs.
  • the invention is also applicable to disc brakes of the kind employing a fixed disc and a movable caliper.
  • references to “friction elements” are intended to refer to an element comprising friction material for frictional engagement with a rotatable brake disc, whether or not the friction material is provided additionally with a backing plate or other mounting. Where such backing plate or other mounting is provided, the term refers to the combination of the pad of friction material and the backing plate or other mounting.
  • a slidable caliper (12) is slidably supported on fixed guide pins projecting from a fixed member (10) and twin pad-supporting arms (17) are provided at the outer or remote side of the rotatable disc from the hydraulic actuation system including piston (16) .
  • An inner friction pad is supported by the fixed member (10) and engages the disc on one side.
  • An outer pad is supported by the caliper (12) and engages the brake disc on its outer side.
  • the outer pad (19) has a backing plate with a projecting portion or bar (20) which lodges in correspondingly-profiled recesses formed in the twin pad- supporting arms (17) of the caliper outer portion against the radially-inwardly directed resilient action of a spring (24) , so that the pad thereby is held in place by this inwardly-directed biasing force.
  • EP 0 971 146 A2 (Sumitomo) a fixed disc brake in which special design features are adopted to suppress brake squeaks both during forward- travel braking and backward-travel braking.
  • the pads (1) have lugs (10) at both ends of their back plates and these lugs are located in grooves (9) formed in guide portions (3) of a torque member (2) .
  • the guide grooves (9) are dimensioned so as to provide very substantial clearance which is sufficient to permit the location of liners (11) having resilient arms (12) which bias the pads at their disc-leading and disc-trailing sides so as to eliminate play and prevent rattling sounds.
  • the disclosed teaching in the EP 146 A2 specification amounts to the provision, for rattle and squeak reducing purposes in a disc brake of the fixed disc kind, of substantially enlarged clearances between the pads and their guides so that resilient liners can be inserted in such gaps. Moreover these liners exert neither a net inwardly-directed nor a net outwardly-directed force on the pads, but a combined such effect whereby a torque is applied to the pads for such purposes.
  • the principal embodiment of the present invention seeks to provide a disc brake of the kind employing at least one axially slideable brake disc (thereby to provide access to the advantages inherent in such a system) and in which the shortcomings identified above in relation to previously- proposed pad or friction element-biassing systems are reduced or overcome.
  • the present invention provides a method and apparatus in which a generally outwardly-directed resilient bias is applied to at least one friction element whereby manufacturing tolerances are taken up by such bias even before brake application, thereby avoiding the necessity for the adoption of relatively tight manufacturing tolerances, and thereby by also avoiding the complexity of prior proposals utilising artificially enlarged clearances provided for the accommodation of resilient liners and the like.
  • the embodiments of the present invention are able to employ relatively applied in a straightforward and mechanical way to the friction elements so as to achieve these advantages.
  • the embodiments of the present invention adopt a yet further removed (from the prior art) approach to the application to the friction elements of their resilient bias in the following regard.
  • the level of resilient bias is substantially increased beyond that needed for the anti-rattle and anti- squeak functions discussed in detail above in relation to the prior art.
  • the level of bias applied in the embodiments of the present invention is preferably (and certainly in relation to the embodiments employing one or more axially- slidable brake discs) of an order of magnitude greater than that required for this latter sonic function, so as to achieve the relatively unrelated mechanical function of friction element/pad attitude control (by virtue of face- to-face engagement of slidable attitude-defining surfaces) , so as to maintain friction element parallel-alignment with the corresponding disc friction surfaces under the dynamic conditions of use.
  • This function may be shortly referred to as an anti-tilt function.
  • a complementary anti-tilt function is likewise provided in relation to the mounting of the slidable disc or discs in relation to the central mounting hub, by means of corresponding resilient means in the form of mounting springs.
  • An object of the present invention is to provide a method of mounting a friction element in a disc brake, together with a combination of a friction element and resilient biasing means therefor, and a disc brake incorporating same, offering improvements in relation to matters discussed above, or generally.
  • a spot type automotive disc brake comprises a rotatable brake disc and a mounting for the disc to permit such rotation. At least one pair of friction elements are provided which are adapted to frictionally engage braking surfaces on opposite sides of the brake disc to effect braking. Non-rotatable guide means is provided for at least one of the pair of friction elements to support same during its frictional engagement with the rotating disc and which also permits relative movement of the friction element towards and away from the disc.
  • the friction element in question is the one which is directly or semi-directly actuated by the piston of the brake's primary hydraulic actuation system.
  • Actuation means for the friction elements is provided to effect braking engagement of these with the brake disc in the embodiment.
  • the actuation means comprises a primary hydraulic actuator provided in or on the brake caliper structure, whether the caliper is fixed or movable.
  • the friction elements are provided with resilient biasing means acting thereon to bias at least the said one of the friction elements into engagement with a guide surface of the guide means, and that guide surface is located at least partially radially outwardly of the line of action of the actuation means.
  • the friction element is supported at a region located generally radially outwardly (with respect to the brake disc) of the central axis of the piston of the hydraulic actuator, although overlap of the circular periphery of the piston or cylinder with the guide surfaces
  • the resilient biasing means is caused to bias the relevant friction element (or indeed friction elements in the case where more than one such guided element is provided, as is the case with a twin sliding disc brake) in a generally outward direction with respect to the axis of rotation of the brake disc.
  • the biasing means exerts a turning moment on its respective friction element which is in the same sense as the turning moment exerted thereon by the brake disc during frictional engagement of the friction element with the disc when the brake is actuated.
  • the biasing means preloads the friction element in the direction in which it will be loaded upon actuation of the brake.
  • the resilient biasing means is provided in one case in the form of a torsion spring and in another embodiment in the form of a leaf spring, according to the convenience of connecting the spring structure to the adjacent parts of the brake.
  • the torsion spring the same direction of generally outward friction element bias is applied (through the central mounting of the torsion spring) to the friction element as a result of the spring loading applied during assembly.
  • a friction element and its associated spring, together with (if necessary) an associated connecting structure such as a peg or pin, will be manufactured for sale and use as a replacement unit for brake servicing purposes .
  • the disc brake incorporates resilient means both in relation to the mounting of the brake discs on their mounting hub and in relation to the mounting of the brake friction elements or pads in relation to their fixed mounting or caliper.
  • the resilient means are of a structure and strength chosen to be capable of, both in the case of the brake discs and in the case of the brake friction elements, maintaining these components of the brake assembly in their required working attitudes with respect to the structures on which they are mounted.
  • the springs or resilient means for the brake discs are constructed so as to hold the brake discs in non-tilted working attitudes as they rotate.
  • the resilient means for the friction elements or pads maintain these latter structures in their required attitudes with respect to their fixed mounting or caliper.
  • the resilient nature of the resilient means permits, under the dynamic conditions arising during use of the vehicle and due to engine vibration and vehicle motion/road surface induced vibration and similar factors, a degree of movement from the defined working position (as opposed to the linear axial sliding movement needed to effect friction element- to-disc engagement and disengagement when commencing and terminating braking) wich is needed under normal conditions of vehicle use.
  • the resilient means or springs used in the embodiments in relation to the friction elements for maintaining same in their normal untilted attitudes differ significantly from the springs disclosed in WO 98/25804 (docket 2561) and WO 98/26192 (docket 2558) in which the pad springs are mere anti-rattle springs not adapted to hold the brake pads against tilting movements, but merely to avoid rattling.
  • the springs for the discs and for the pads are balanced in terms of their relative loading applied to the discs and the pads in order to achieve the necessary separation of same when braking is discontinued and yet holding the pads and discs against tilting during use.
  • the spring forces exerted on the pads or friction elements of the present invention are much stronger than those needed merely to prevent rattling or noise suppression.
  • the spring forces are sufficient to restrain the slidable brake pads or friction elements from moving into contact with the brake discs in an uncontrolled manner.
  • the use of the substantially stronger pad springs in the present embodiments assists in positioning the outer rims of the brake discs in their brake-off position for reducing residual brake torque.
  • This feature preferably comprises the combination of resilient means in co-operation with face-to-face complementary attitude-defining surfaces on the friction elements and their guide means, and the arrangement being such that there is a co-operative effect with the anti-tilt mounted brake discs or discs such that the effect of dynamic factors arising during use including engine-and road- induced vibrations leading to micro- scale interactions of the discs and friction elements after brake application produces a relatively well-defined backing-off of the pairs of axially-moveable structures (discs and friction elements) leading to well-defined clearance positions allowing relatively low level residual torque in which the haphazard torque-producing interactions characteristic of the relatively less well-defined friction element positions of the arrangement in the above-identified WO specifications are minimised or avoided.

  • Fig 2 shows, in a similar generally vertical sectional view, an embodiment of the present invention in which the direction of spring bias is generally reversed;
  • Fig 3 shows, on a larger scale, and in exploded format, the friction element backing plate and associated leaf spring of the embodiment of Fig 2;

  • Disc 12 is mounted for slidable movement on its rotation axis (not seen in Fig 1) . Two or more discs 12 may be provided, each slidably mounted, according to design requirements .

  • Fig 1 a hydraulic actuating mechanism for brake 10, in which the piston (not shown) is extendable along about a generally horizontal axis 26 to engage backing plate 22 and cause pad 24 to engage disc 12.
  • Pad 24 has a curved upper profile 28 matching the circular periphery of disc 12 and spaced sightly inwardly thereof .
  • Backing plate 22 is formed with a mainly rectangular recess 30 to receive guide means 18 which has laterally projecting end portions 32, 34 of convex format to produce line contact at 36 and 38 with the edges of recess 30.
  • Resilient biasing means 40 in the form of a leaf spring- 42 acts between a mounting 44 on caliper 20 (centrally of the spring) and the edge surfaces 46, 48 of backing plate 22, to exert a generally downwardly-directed load on these latter surfaces, with respect to guide 18.
  • Frictional engagement of pad 24 with disc 12 causes the generation of a load on the friction element 16 having a notional load centre on axis 26.
  • This load is resisted by the friction element where the same engages guide 18 at line-contact locations 36 and 38. Therefore, the load exerts a turning moment having a moment arm approximately as indicated at 50, the turning moment being generally clockwise with respect to axis 26 as indicated by arrow M.
  • the result of this clockwise turning moment is the following.
  • recess 30 formed in backing plate 22 is constructed so that caliper or bridge 20, and notably the end portions 32, 34, thereof are a sliding fit within the corresponding recess end portions 52, 54 there is inevitably (due to tolerances) some degree of working clearance as identified at 56 and 58. These clearances have been exaggerated for the purposes of illustration but in practice are nevertheless large enough to permit detectable movement. In reality, the effect is of some degree of relatively uncontrolled initial movement of the friction element and the generation of noise on initial application of the brake.

  • Resilient biasing means 140 comprising leaf spring 142 is in the form of a generally rectangular spring having a central slot 182 to receive the upper end 182 of projecting portion 170 of friction element 116 and to be retained with respect thereto by means of a laterally-projecting pin 184 incertable into an aperture in backing plate 122 to form the friction element 116 and spring 142 into a captive assembly.

Abstract

L'invention concerne un procédé et un dispositif de montage d'une garniture dans un frein à disque (10) d'automobile, du type ponctuel. Ce dispositif comprend des moyens de sollicitation élastiques (40) destinés à solliciter une garniture coulissante, généralement vers l'extérieur par rapport au disque (12) du frein, de sorte que les tolérances requises pour un ajustage serré entre la garniture et les moyens de guidage (18) sont moins strictes, étant donné que les moyens de sollicitation compensent l'espace de tolérance, lequel serait alors fermé par le moment de rotation exercé sur la garniture, par le disque, au début du freinage.
