Patent ID: 10072716

Abstract:
Disclosed is a method for capturing particles ejected by friction braking elements (2) of a braking system (1, 2) with disk brakes (1) of a vehicle. The braking system is equipped with a capture conduit (3) taking a form adapted to accommodate the friction braking elements (2) and to conduct, while the vehicle is moving, an air flow for cooling the friction braking elements, the conduit integrating a shutter (6) with a plate (6a) positioned upstream of the friction braking elements (2), and a unit (5) for capturing particles ejected by the friction braking elements (2). Furthermore, the shutter (6) is controlled so as to move the plate (6a) between a position of closing the conduit (3), set for vehicle travel speeds lower than a predefined threshold speed Vs, and at least one position of at least partially opening the conduit (3), for vehicle travel speeds higher than the threshold speed Vs.
