DISK ROTOR OF VEHICLE BRAKE

A disk rotor of a vehicle brake with improved efficiency in cooling the disk rotor by a synergy effect that comes from ensuring velocity of airflow flowing between cooling fins, ensuring surface areas of the cooling fins, and generating turbulent flow by second fins. A plurality of cooling fins each extending radially from an inner peripheral edge to an outer peripheral edge of a disk rotor are provided inside the disk rotor at intervals in the circumferential direction. Each of the plurality of the cooling fins includes a radial fin extending radially and a second fin spaced apart from the radial fin in the radial direction.

A vehicle disc brake unit comprises a rotatable brake rotor and non-rotatable brake pad of caliper. During the vehicle braking, the non-rotatable brake pad presses against the rotating brake rotor, producing friction heat on frictional contact bands where the brake rotor and the brake pad engages with each other. A plurality of longitudinal vortex generators configured in fins is mounted either to a rotatable vehicle component such as hat of a brake rotor, or a non-rotatable vehicle component such as a protective plate, generating longitudinal vortices in the cooling air flows around the brake rotor, especially across the hottest frictional contact bands. The induced longitudinal vortices in the cooling air flows optimize the heat dissipation from brake rotor into atmosphere.
