All details in the description can be modified or changed based on different perspectives and applications without departing from the spirit of the present invention. It should be noted that the figures provided in the following embodiments only exemplarily explain the basic conception of the present invention, and if there is no conflict, the following embodiments and the features in the embodiments can be mutually combined.

(10) Wherein the drawings are only used for exemplary description, are only schematic diagrams rather than physical diagrams, and shall not be understood as a limitation to the present invention. In order to better illustrate the embodiments of the present invention, some components in the drawings may be omitted, scaled up or scaled down, and do not reflect actual product sizes. It should be understandable for those skilled in the art that some well-known structures and description thereof in the drawings may be omitted.

(11) Same or similar reference signs in the drawings of the embodiments of the present invention refer to same or similar components. It should be understood in the description of the present invention that terms such as “upper”, “lower”, “left”, “right”, “front” and “back” indicate direction or position relationships shown based on the drawings, and are only intended to facilitate the description of the present invention and the simplification of the description rather than to indicate or imply that the indicated device or element must have a specific direction or constructed and operated in a specific direction, and therefore, the terms describing position relationships in the drawings are only used for exemplary description and shall not be understood as a limitation to the present invention; for those ordinary skilled in the art, the meanings of the above terms may be understood according to specific conditions.

(12) As shown in FIG. 1 to FIG. 6, an anti-drag structure of automobile brake calipers comprises a brake caliper body 1 which is provided with a cylinder bore 11 and a brake claw 12 arranged along the axis of the cylinder bore 11 in an extending mode; and the structure of the brake caliper body 1 is the prior art. Understandably, a step aperture 13 coaxial with the cylinder bore 11 is formed in one end of the cylinder bore 11 away from the brake claw 12 on the brake caliper body 1 for a piston rod to penetrate, a cylindrical piston bush 2 is pressed in the cylinder bore 11 by interference fit, a step ring groove 21 is formed in the inner wall of the piston bush 2 and composed of a major diameter ring groove 22 and a minor diameter ring groove 23 which have rectangular sections, the major diameter ring groove 22 is embedded with a rubber seal ring 4 with the section corresponding to the major diameter ring groove 22, i.e., the section of the rubber seal ring 4 is also rectangular, the minor diameter ring groove 23 is embedded with a phenolic resin PF ring 3 with the section corresponding to the minor diameter ring groove 23, and the inner edge of the end face of the phenolic resin PF ring 3 jointed with the rubber seal ring 4 is provided with a chamfer 31 to make the section in a shape similar to a right trapezoid.

(13) The anti-drag structure of automobile brake calipers of the embodiment improves the generality of the brake caliper body 1 through the arrangement of the piston bush 2, the brake caliper body 1 can be general for the requirement of different cylinder diameters by only replacing a piston bush 2 with a different inner diameter (and the same outer diameter) (accordingly, the rubber seal ring 4 and the phenolic resin PF ring 3 are also replaced), and the unification and platformization of production manufacturing of the brake caliper body 1 are improved, thereby reducing the cost. Meanwhile, the anti-drag structure of automobile brake calipers uses the rubber seal ring 4 that is made of rubber and can elastically deform under pressure and the phenolic resin PF ring 3 that is made of high hydraulically sensitive phenolic resinous (bakelite) material at high pressure, and the phenolic resin PF ring 3 has the characteristics of stability at low hydraulic pressure and linear step at the pressure reaching the high hydraulic critical value, is stable at low pressure, and reaches high slope compression at high hydraulic pressure exceeding 30 bar. In use, the elastic potential energy of the rubber seal ring 4 can be stored through the chamfer 31 at the end face of the phenolic resin PF ring 3 jointed with the rubber seal ring 4 to trigger material characteristics at high hydraulic pressure, and the phenolic resin PF ring 3 is linearly compressed and elastically deforms in a stepped mode, which can increase the deformation amount of the rubber seal ring 4 and store more elastic potential energy of the rubber seal ring 4 so as to reduce the residual drag moment of the automobile brake and the fuel consumption, thereby achieving the purpose of emission reduction. To a certain extent, the problem of balance of performance between the liquid demand and the lag moment of the current automobile brake calipers at high hydraulic pressure is solved.

(14) Wherein the brake caliper body 1 is a high-strength aluminum alloy part, and the outer surface of the brake caliper body 1 is attached with an anodic oxidation layer (not shown in the figure).

(15) In this way, the automobile brake calipers are used in combination with the piston bush 2 made of high-strength aluminum alloy and anodized to improve wear resistance, which is beneficial to improvement of the life and safety of brake calipers and is conducive to lightweight and standardized design.

(16) Wherein the step ring groove 21 is formed in one end of the piston bush 2 near the brake claw 12, and the minor diameter ring groove 23 embedded with the phenolic resin PF ring 3 is arranged in one side near the brake claw 12 in the step ring groove 21 (compared with the major diameter ring groove 22) so as to better ensure function effects; and the phenolic resin PF ring 3 is provided with an assembly opening 32 breaking the circumferentially continuous phenolic resin PF ring 3 for the convenience of assembly.

(17) In this way, the phenolic resin PF ring 3 can be staggered in the assembly opening 32 and rebounds to a whole ring after being installed in the minor diameter ring groove 23 for the convenience of assembly.

(18) Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used for describing, rather than limiting the technical solution of the present invention. Although the present invention is described in detail with reference to the preferred embodiments, those ordinary skilled in the art shall understand that the technical solution of the present invention can be amended or equivalently replaced without departing from the purpose and the scope of the technical solution. The amendment or equivalent replacement shall be covered within the scope of the claims of the present invention.
