Description

Fenders with cooling ducts

The invention relates to a fender with a cooling air duct, in particular, an air duct is provided on the fender of the vehicle, so that when the vehicle is traveling, the airflow on the windward side can pass through the cooling air duct to reduce the airflow. The guide concentrates and guides the creation of the brake caliper.

The braking methods of traditional vehicles are divided into drum brakes and disc brakes, while today's vehicles mostly use disc brakes as standard equipment at the factory.

The structure of the disc brake mainly includes a brake disc, a brake caliper, and a lever that controls the brake caliper; the actuation method of the disc brake is to control the brake caliper through the lever, so that the brake caliper clamps the brake disc that rotates with the tire. When clamping, the tire stops rotating by the friction force when the pad on the brake caliper is in contact with the brake disc. When the friction force acts, heat energy will also be generated, and the heat energy will increase the temperature of the brake disc and brake caliper. As a result, the braking force of the brake caliper is reduced, and the vehicle in motion cannot be stopped reliably. Therefore, there is a patent publication number of the People's Republic of China CN211474724U "A motorcycle brake disc cooling device". , blowing the outside wind to the water pipes arranged between the cooling boxes, so that the cooling wind blows to the braking device, thereby cooling the braking device and improving the cooling effect, and the People's Republic of China Patent Bulletin No. CN207333504U "A high temperature anti-high temperature motorcycle brake device ” By setting up a cooling mechanism including a water tank, a water pipe and a shut-off valve, the hydraulic oil is used to push the control shut-off valve during braking, so that the water in the water tank is sprayed toward the brake disc through the water pipe to cool down, effectively preventing the brake temperature from being too high, and ensuring the brake pads braking performance.

However, the above-mentioned cases all require additional cooling devices, such as fans or cooling water tanks, which will not only increase the daily maintenance items, but also may cause liquid leakage problems when adding water tanks. , and the fan or cooling water tank must be removed before maintenance of the brake caliper, which is inconvenient to use.

Therefore, in order to cool the brake caliper without adding other parts, so that the brake caliper can maintain a suitable working temperature, a fender with a cooling air duct is proposed, which is used in conjunction with a vehicle, and the vehicle includes a Wheels and a brake caliper, the aforementioned fenders with cooling air ducts include:

A fender body has an inner surface, the inner surface is disposed adjacent to the tire surface of the wheel; a side plate extends from one side of the fender body, the side plate includes an air guide part and a fixing part, the side plate It is fixed on the vehicle through the fixing part. The air guide part has an air inlet, a cooling air duct and an air outlet. The air inlet communicates with the air outlet through the cooling air duct, and the air outlet faces the brake caliper. .

Further, there is another side plate, the other side plate and the side plate are located on two opposite sides of the fender body, the other side plate has another air guide portion, and the other air guide portion is provided with mirror symmetry to the air guide portion .

Further, an air guide plate is facing the air inlet, and the air inlet communicates with the air outlet through the air guide plate to form the cooling air guide channel.

Further, the shape of the air inlet is a rectangle.

Further, the air inlet is disposed facing the inner surface, and the extending direction of the cooling air duct is extended from the air inlet toward the inner surface.

Further, the fender body and the side plate are integrally formed.

Further, the side plate has a side surface, and the air guide portion protrudes from the side surface and extends a height along the normal direction of the side surface.

Further, the cooling air guide channel is tapered from the air inlet to the air outlet.

According to the above technical features, the following effects can be achieved:

1. When the vehicle is running, the wind can be guided to the brake caliper by natural air intake, thereby cooling the brake caliper and avoiding thermal energy affecting the clamping force of the brake caliper.

2. The use of natural air intake to cool the brake calipers does not require additional cooling devices, such as fans or cooling liquids, which can avoid the problem of liquid leakage or require regular inspection and replenishment of cooling liquids.

3. When assembling the vehicle, only the fenders with cooling air ducts are installed on the vehicle, and there is no need to increase the assembly steps and increase the manufacturing cost.

4. When the pads of the brake caliper need to be replaced, the brake caliper can be disassembled only by removing the fender, which is convenient for maintenance and replacement of parts.

In view of the above technical features, the main effect of the fender with cooling air ducts of the present invention will be clearly presented in the following embodiments.
