An electronic parking brake device including: a plate part having a brake shoe rotatably mounted thereon; a housing part mounted on the plate part and configured to guide hydraulic pressure; a motor part mounted on the housing part, and driven when power is applied thereto; a piston part mounted on the housing part, and moved by hydraulic pressure so as to operate the brake shoe; and an operation part embedded in the housing part, disposed between the piston parts, and driven by the motor part so as to push the piston parts.

Electromechanical Brake System and Method of Operation

An electromechanical brake system includes a brake actuator having a power transmission for transmitting an actuating force to a brake pad, the power transmission including a rotatable shaft. A coupler with a locking element can be controlled so that the locking element is engaged with the rotatable shaft and blocks its rotation or so that the locking element is disengaged from the rotatable shaft so that the rotatable shaft can be rotated. The brake actuator has an interface configured to be connected to the locking element and to engage or disengage the locking element from the rotatable shaft.

An omni-wheel may include a shaft, a plurality of rollers, and a braking device. The plurality of rollers may be circumferentially arranged about the shaft and arranged radially outward from the shaft. The braking device may include an at least one flexible clutch member, an at least one brake pad, and an actuator. The at least one flexible clutch member may have an outer diameter arranged about the shaft. The at least one brake pad may be arranged on the outer diameter of the at least one flexible clutch member. The actuator may be arranged to axially displace the at least one flexible clutch member. The at least one flexible clutch member may expand radially outward when axially displaced by the actuator, which may displace the at least one brake pad arranged on the outer diameter of the at least one flexible clutch member radially outward to contact at least one of the plurality of rollers, preventing rotation of the roller.

An example brake assembly comprises: a brake disk; an outer brake caliper disposed on a first side of the brake disk; an inner brake caliper disposed on a second side of the brake disk such that the brake disk is interposed between the outer brake caliper and the inner brake caliper; a mounting plate disposed adjacent to the inner brake caliper, wherein the mounting plate is coupled to the inner brake caliper and the outer brake caliper, and wherein the mounting plate comprises a slot; and a brake actuation lever pivotably coupled to the mounting plate and disposed through the slot of the mounting plate to interface with the inner brake caliper, wherein rotation of the brake actuation lever causes the inner brake caliper to move toward the outer brake caliper, thereby squeezing the brake disk between the inner brake caliper and the outer brake caliper.

Self-energizing brake caliper

According to the present disclosure, there is provided a self-energizing brake caliper which comprises a caliper bracket fixed to a vehicle frame and comprising a rotation axis extending in the height direction of the vehicle; a first caliper arm rotatably connected to the rotation axis; a second caliper arm rotatably connected to the rotation axis and crossing the first caliper arm; an inboard brake pad; and an outboard brake pad. The first caliper arm is slidably connected at a first end of the inboard brake pad in the inboard side of the brake disc and the outer end of the first caliper arm is connected to a second end of the outboard brake pad. The second caliper arm is connected to the second end of the inboard brake pad in the inboard side of the brake disc and the outer end of the second caliper arm is slidably connected to the first end of the outboard brake pad. The driving force of an actuator is transferred to the inner ends of the first caliper arm and the second caliper arm.

Brake mechanism for spherical wheel

Implementations relate to a brake mechanism for a spherical wheel. In some implementations, a wheel mechanism includes a spherical wheel and a base coupled to the spherical wheel via a rotary bearing contacting a surface of the spherical wheel, where the rotary bearing is configured to allow the spherical wheel to rotate. The wheel mechanism includes a brake ring coupled to the base and configured to selectively engage and disengage the surface of the spherical wheel, where the brake ring provides friction opposing rotation of the spherical wheel when engaged.
