Abstract:
1. Axially and radially cooled brake disk and cover for a braking system and for mounting between a wheel disk and a wheel hub, where the brake disk is rotating, comprising: a body with first and second lateral walls in an annular shape, between which a cavity is located containing a system of primary vanes with an inter-vane space allowing passage of cooling air and running from a central part of the brake disk to its circumference, wherein the central part of the brake disk accepts an inlet channel for cooling air, which is led out into the inter-vane space, the brake disk including a system of through channels running across its body, each through channel including a first end that empties into the first lateral wall and a second end that empties into the second lateral wall, and the through channels are in the number of at least two and are passing through the primary vanes of the brake disk skewing towards the inter-vane space, wherein the cover contains a system of secondary vanes located outside the brake disk, wherein the cover comprises a supporting wall located on the wheel hub side, a circumferential wall located at a distance on the circumference of the brake disk body, and first and second flanges from which the first flange runs out from the circumferential wall towards the second lateral wall of the brake disk and the second flange runs out from an end of the supporting wall towards the first lateral wall of the brake disk, wherein the secondary vanes are mounted inside the cover and fix at least one lateral end to the cover, wherein at least one primary gap is located between each secondary vane and the circumferential wall of the cover, and at least one secondary gap is located between the brake disk and the supporting wall of the cover, and the primary vanes as well as the secondary vanes are bent, wherein bending of the secondary vanes is oriented in an opposite way compared to bending of the primary vanes and the secondary vanes have impact surfaces directed against direction of the cooling air flow from the inter-vane space.
