Measuring arrangement for brake application force measurement of a disc brake and a corresponding disc brake

摘要

A measuring arrangement for brake application force measurement of a disc brake, includes two components of the disc brake which can be displaced relative to each other along a travel path when a brake application force is applied, at least one brake application force sensor with a housing; a measurement object which can be permanently connected to one or the other of the two components and having at least one element or at least one target object which has at least one such element for contact-free interaction with the brake application force measurement sensor; and an evaluation unit. The brake application force sensor is designed for the detection of a displacement of the measurement object along the path with the evaluation unit for the conversion of the detected displacement in a measurement variable as a measurement for the brake application force. The brake application force sensor and the measurement object can be mounted with each of the two components in a removable manner. The measuring arrangement is characterized in that the brake application force sensor is arranged outside the path of the measurement object and with the observation direction thereof arranged perpendicular to the path.

主权项

1. A measuring arrangement for measuring brake application force in a disc brake, comprising:
first and second components of a caliper of the disc brake, the first and second components being at least one of formed by and affixed to the caliper and displaceable relative to one another along a travel path when brake application force is applied; a brake application force sensor, the brake application force sensor being affixed to a first one of the first and second components of the caliper and including a housing; a measurement object at least one of formed by and affixed to a second one of the first and second components, the measurement object comprising an element configured for contactless interaction with the brake application force sensor; an evaluation unit coupled to the brake application force sensor, wherein: the brake application force sensor is configured to detect the displacement of the measurement object along the travel path due to elastic deformation of the caliper, the evaluation unit is configured to convert the detected displacement into a measurement variable that is a function of the brake application force, the brake application force sensor and the measurement object is attachable to the respective one of the first and second components so as to be removable, and the brake application force sensor is arranged outside the travel path of the measurement object, wherein an observation direction of the brake application force sensor is at a right angle to the travel path of the measurement object.
