    摘要: The present disclosure relates to a brake drum for a drum brake for a vehicle. The brake drum comprises a braking surface adapted to receive at least one brake shoe of the drum brake. The brake drum further comprises a cooling arrangement comprising a set of cooling conduits located between a braking surface and an outer surface.
    The material of the brake drum located radially between the set of cooling conduits and the braking surface at an inner axial cross-section has an inner axial aggregate thermal conductance and the material of the brake drum located radially between the set of cooling conduits and the braking surface at the outer axial cross-section has an outer axial aggregate thermal conductance.
    Accordingly, the inner axial aggregate thermal conductance is different from the outer axial aggregate thermal conductance.

    摘要: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including medium-encoded computer program products, for designing and manufacturing rotors for disc brake systems and apparatus include, in one aspect, a method including: placing a lattice structure in a ventilation space within a 3D model to create more internal surface area within a disc brake rotor between inner and outer rotor discs; adjusting a number of lattice unit cells for the lattice structure in different regions of the 3D model between the rotor discs to increase air turbulence in the ventilation space; adjusting one or more thicknesses of beams forming the lattice structure in different regions of the 3D model between the rotor discs to prevent structural failure under predefined loading conditions; and providing an updated version of the 3D model of the disc brake rotor that incorporates the lattice structure after adjustment of the number of lattice unit cells and the beam thickness(es).

    摘要: A brake dust cover is installed in a brake system including a rotor disposed on an inner diameter side of a rim of a wheel and a caliper interposing and holding the rotor with brake pads and includes a main body, an extension, and an opening. The main body is disposed adjacent to the rotor on an inside of the rotor in a vehicle width direction, that is disposed so as to overlap at least a part of the rotor when viewed from an axle direction, and that is disposed such that an outer circumferential edge portion thereof is separated from an inner circumferential surface of the rim. The extension extends from a part of the outer circumferential edge portion of the main body to an outer diameter side. The opening is formed in the main body, and air in a wheelhouse is introduced toward the rotor through the opening.
