In the axial direction of the mounting shaft 60, the first distance L1 between the first edge and the spoke 72 is less than or equal to 10 mm. In another specific embodiment, in the radial direction of the mounting shaft 60, the outer surface of the brake disc 10 has a second edge farthest from the wheel hub 71 (see

In an embodiment, referring to
Specifically, the brake disc mounting portion 713 is of a six-pointed star structure protruding from the side of the main body 712 facing the brake disc 10. Certainly, in some other embodiments, the brake disc mounting portion 713 may also be a three-pointed star structure, a four-pointed star structure, a five-pointed star structure or a multi-pointed star structure with more than six points, which is not limited herein.

It should be noted that the third distance between the brake disc mounting surface 711 and the inner surface 511 of the fork sheet 51 in the axial direction of the mounting shaft 60 may be 20 mm, 21 mm or 22 mm, and the specific value of the third distance is not limited.
Continuing to refer to
In an embodiment, in the axial direction of the mounting shaft 60, the entire mounting frame 12 does not exceed an inner surface of the disc plate 11 (the inner surface of the disc plate 11 is a part of the inner surface of the brake disc). That is, when defining a surface of the disc plate 11 adjacent to the wheel body as the inner surface thereof, in the axial direction of the mounting shaft 60, the entire mounting frame 12 is located outside the inner surface of the disc plate 11, or is partially coplanar with the inner surface of the disk sheet 11.
Continuing to refer to
In an embodiment, the mounting frame 12 is recessed toward an outer surface of the disc plate with respect to the inner surface of the disc plate 11 to form the wheel mounting surface 121, that is, the mounting frame 12 is recessed outward in a direction away from the wheel to form the wheel mounting surface 121 on the same side as the inner surface of the disc plate 11. It should be understood that, in other embodiments, the wheel mounting surface 121 may not be formed by the above-mentioned recess, but directly formed on the mounting frame 12.
Specifically, the spokes 72 are provided obliquely between the wheel hub 71 and the rim 72, and the disc plate 11 faces the spokes 72. When the inner surface of the disc plate 11 is provided inwardly relative to the wheel mounting surface 121, compared to the prior art, the distance between the brake disc 10 and the spokes 72 is reduced, and the waste of space between the disc brake disc 10 and the spoke 72 is reduced.
In an embodiment, the disc plate 11 is provided with a first mounting hole 113 extending through the disc plate 11 in the axial direction of the mounting shaft 60. A peripheral edge of the mounting frame 12 is connected to a hole wall of the first mounting hole 113, or the peripheral edge of the mounting frame 12 is connected to a side of the disc plate 11 having the outer surface, so that the entire mounting frame 12 does not exceed the inner surface of the disc plate 11.
In an embodiment, the mounting frame 12 and the disc plate 11 are riveted and fixed by rivets 30 (see
Further, a central axis of the mounting frame 12 coincides with a central axis of the disc plate 11. Certainly, in other embodiments, the central axis of the mounting frame 12 is allowed to be misaligned with the central axis of the disc plate 11.

Further, the disc plate 11 has a flat plate structure, and the braking surface is perpendicular to an axis of the mounting shaft 60. A plane where the mounting sheet 122 is located is parallel to a plane where the disc plate 11 is located, and is a flat surface on the same side as the inner surface of the disk sheet 11. In this way, during mounting, a contact area between the wheel mounting surface 121 and an end surface of the wheel hub 71 can be increased, thereby ensuring the firmness and stability of the mounting.
Referring to
In the axial direction of the mounting shaft 60, the outer surface of the disc plate 11 is located between the wheel mounting surface 121 and the inner surface of the disc plate 11. Such arrangement ensures that the entire disc plate 11 is located on an inner side of the wheel mounting surface 121, so as to prevent the sharp disc plate 11 from accidentally injuring the user, at the same time, when the bicycle is folded, the disc plate 11 can be prevent from interfering with the bicycle when the bicycle is folded, and a folding volume of the folded bicycle is reduced.
Further, a thickness of the mounting frame 12 is equal to a thickness of the disc plate 11. It should be understood that, in other embodiments, the thickness of the mounting frame 12 may also be different from the thickness of the disc plate 11, which is not limited herein.
The mounting feet 123 are arranged in a curved arc shape between the mounting sheet 122 and the disc plate 11, so that the connection strength between the mounting frame 12 and the disc plate 11 can be increased. In other embodiments, the mounting foot 123 may also be flat, and the flat mounting foot 123 is obliquely connected between the mounting sheet 122 and the disc plate 11.
