The piston 4 is arranged in the through hole of the shell 101 and can linearly move along the central axis of the through hole, an annular groove is formed in the through hole, the sealing ring 5 is arranged in the groove and is in close contact with the outer surface of the piston and the surface of the groove, the left end of the piston 4 is an inclined plane inclined inwards and can be in close contact with the outer surface of the skirt portion of the screw rod nut 702, the left end of the screw rod nut 702 is in contact with the right end face of the spring 6, and the left end face of the spring 6 is in contact with the shell 101. The left end of the ball screw shaft 701 is connected with a first electromagnetic clutch 803 through a key, the rotation of a gear carrier 807 can be transmitted to the ball screw shaft, the gear carrier 807, a center wheel 806, an outer gear ring 804 and 3 planetary gears 805 form a planetary gear reducer, wherein the center wheel 806 and the gear carrier 807 are both sleeved on the middle end of the ball screw shaft 701 in an empty mode, the center wheel 806 is fixedly connected with a rotor 802 of a first torque motor, a stator 801 of the first torque motor is fixed on the shell 101, the left end of the ball screw is connected with a worm wheel 904 through a key, the worm wheel 904 is meshed with a worm 903, one end of the worm 903 is connected with a second electromagnetic clutch 902, and the other end of the second electromagnetic clutch 902 is connected with an output shaft of a second torque motor 901.

The specific implementation working process of the invention is as follows:

and (3) a service braking process:

when a driver steps on a brake pedal, a temperature sensor arranged on a first torque motor detects the temperature of the motor, then data are transmitted to the ECU for analysis and processing, if the temperature does not exceed a set danger threshold value, the ECU outputs a command to start the first torque motor and close a first electromagnetic clutch 803, and at the moment, a second electromagnetic clutch 902 is in an off state, so that the torque output by the first torque motor is amplified through a planetary gear set and then transmitted to a ball screw shaft 701; if the temperature exceeds the set danger threshold, the ECU outputs a command to start the second torque motor 901 and close the second electromagnetic clutch, at this time, the first electromagnetic clutch 803 is in an off state, the second torque motor 901 transmits torque to the ball screw shaft 701 through the second torque motor 902, the worm 903 and the worm wheel 904, and simultaneously amplifies the torque output by the motors. The ball screw pair converts the rotation of the ball screw shaft 701 into the linear motion of the screw nut 702, the screw nut 702 pushes the piston 4, the piston 4 further pushes the transmission block 201, and the whole connecting rod mechanism is driven to move, so that the friction linings 211 and 212 are in contact with and extruded by the brake disc 3, and the braking force is generated.

When the piston 4 moves linearly to the right along the center line of the through hole, the transmission block 201, the upper connecting rod 202 and the lower connecting rod 203 are driven to move together, the left brake caliper 204 is driven to rotate counterclockwise around the fixed hinge support 102, and when the lower end of the left friction lining base 210 contacts the brake disc 3, the left friction lining base 210 rotates clockwise around the hinge support 206 until the left friction lining 212 and the brake disc 3 completely rotateContact, at which time the left caliper stops moving completely; meanwhile, the right brake caliper 205 rotates clockwise around the fixed hinge support 103 under the driving of the lower link 203, and when the lower end of the right friction lining base 211 contacts the brake disc 3, the right friction lining base 211 rotates counterclockwise around the hinge support 207 until the right friction lining 213 completely contacts the brake disc 3, and at this time, the right brake caliper stops moving completely. According to the principle of the third diagram and the calculation formula of the degree of freedom of the plane mechanism: f-3 n-2P_l-P_hThe calculation shows that the upper connecting rod 202 and the left brake caliper 204 connected with the upper connecting rod and the lower connecting rod 203 and the right brake caliper 205 connected with the upper connecting rod move independently, one group of rod pieces stops moving because the friction linings are damaged or contact with a brake disc first, and the other group of rod pieces cannot be influenced to continue completing the movement.

And (3) releasing the braking process:

when a driver looses a brake pedal, signals collected by a brake pedal sensor are transmitted to the ECU, if the first torque motor is started before, the ECU transmits signals to the first torque motor to enable the motor to rotate reversely, the reverse torque is transmitted to the ball screw shaft 701 through the planetary gear reduction mechanism and the first electromagnetic clutch 803, the whole ball screw pair does reverse motion, the screw nut 702 makes linear motion leftwards along the axis of the through hole, the screw nut 702 does not apply thrust to the piston 4 any more, and due to the fact that the sealing ring 5 is elastically deformed in the braking process, the piston 4 makes linear motion leftwards under the effect of elastic potential energy released by the sealing ring 5, and then the double-side independent brake arm mechanism is driven to complete reset motion, and the braking release process is finished. If the second torque motor is started before, the ECU transmits a signal to the second torque motor 901 to stop the motor, the second electromagnetic clutch 902 is disconnected, the power transmission between the second torque motor 901 and the worm 903 is interrupted, then the sealing ring 5 releases elastic potential energy to drive the piston 4 to move leftwards along the axis of the through hole, so that the double-side independent brake arm mechanism and the ball screw pair are reset, and the brake release process is finished.

And (3) parking braking process:

when a driver presses a parking brake button, a parking brake signal is transmitted to the ECU, then the ECU transmits a signal to the second torque motor 901 to control the motor to rotate forwards, the second electromagnetic clutch 902 is closed, power output by a motor shaft is subjected to force increasing and motion conversion through the second electromagnetic clutch 902, the worm gear mechanism, the ball screw pair and the two-degree-of-freedom multi-link mechanism, the two brake calipers clamp inwards, finally, the two friction linings are completely contacted with and extrude the brake disc 3 to generate brake force, when the brake force meets the requirement of parking brake, the ECU controls the power-off of the second torque motor 901, and meanwhile, the second electromagnetic clutch 902 is kept closed. The parking brake is released only by disconnecting the second electromagnetic clutch 902, and the ball screw pair and the bilateral independent brake arm mechanism are reset, so that the parking brake is released.

Finally, it should be noted that: the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solution of the present invention, but not to limit it: while the invention has been described in detail and with reference to the foregoing embodiments, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that: the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments may still be modified, or some or all of the technical features may be equivalently replaced; and the modifications or the substitutions do not make the essence of the corresponding technical solutions depart from the scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention.
