Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of automobile electric control braking, and in particular relates to an electronic parking structure, a transmission, a parking control system and an automobile. Background Art
[0002] The automobile braking system is to slow down and stop the moving vehicle in a short time, and to achieve stable parking at the same time. The parking system is an important part of the automobile braking system, which is a safety device to prevent the vehicle from sliding under special working conditions. The earliest vehicle parking brake system adopted the traditional mechanical transmission method, which was realized by the driver manually operating the brake handle. With the development of braking technology, the electronic parking brake system has been proposed and successfully applied, with the advantages of high safety, good stability and better experience. The electronic parking brake system (EPB) is composed of a main control module, sensors and integrated parking actuators. It is currently mainly integrated in the rear brake system assembly to play the role of safe parking. The electronic parking brake system will combine the state of the vehicle, and the controller will calculate the braking force required for the rear wheels, and control the wheel-end actuator to provide the clamping force to support.
[0003] The electronic mechanical brake system (EMB) is a new generation of wire-controlled brake system. EMB eliminates the traditional mechanical connection part and mainly transmits the braking system through the communication harness. It has the characteristics of fast response, low cost, high safety and stability. EMB mainly uses the motor as the driving source, and converts the output torque of the motor into the driving force for the master cylinder piston through the deceleration and torque increase mechanism and the motion conversion mechanism, thereby establishing hydraulic pressure in the brake master cylinder. Since EMB is still in the research and development stage and has no mass production results, the research on EMB has always been a key technology in the field of automotive braking. At the same time, the parking mechanism integrated with EMB has not been clearly proposed.

[0036] As an example, the housing 1 is used as a base member for mounting the driving motor 2. The driving motor 2 is an EMB motor for transmitting braking force. The parking ratchet 5 is also mounted in the housing 1, and the parking ratchet 5 is rigidly connected to the output shaft 21 of the driving motor 2. The first end of the adjusting mechanism 3 is fixed to the housing 1, and the second end of the adjusting mechanism 3 is connected to the first end of the pawl 4, and the second end of the pawl 4 is arranged opposite to the parking ratchet 5. The adjusting mechanism 3 is used to control the engagement or disengagement of the pawl 4 and the parking ratchet 5. In the driving state, the adjusting mechanism 3 controls the pawl 4 to separate from the parking ratchet 5, and the parking ratchet 5 rotates with the output shaft 21 of the driving motor 2.

[0038] In one embodiment, referring to Figure 1-4The adjustment mechanism 3 includes a first adjustment component 31 and a second adjustment component 32 arranged along the radial direction of the parking ratchet 5; the first end of the first adjustment component 31 is connected to the first end of the pawl 4, and is used to drive the pawl 4 to move outward along the radial direction of the parking ratchet 5 so that the pawl 4 is separated from the parking ratchet 5; the first end of the second adjustment component 32 is connected to the second end of the first adjustment component 31, and the second end of the second adjustment component 32 is connected to the housing 1, and is used to drive the pawl 4 to move inward along the radial direction of the parking ratchet 5 so that the pawl 4 is engaged with the parking ratchet 5.
[0039] As an example, the adjustment mechanism 3 includes a first adjustment component 31 and a second adjustment component 32, which are arranged along the radial direction of the parking ratchet 5. The first adjustment component 31 and the second adjustment component 32 cooperate to drive the pawl 4 to move along the radial direction of the parking ratchet 5, so that the pawl 4 is separated from or engaged with the parking ratchet 5.

[0041] As an example, the first regulating component 31 is introduced as a solenoid valve, including a solenoid valve body 311 and a solenoid valve core 312. The solenoid valve body 311 is connected to the shell 1, and the solenoid valve core 312 is arranged in the solenoid valve body 311. Under the action of the solenoid valve body 311, the solenoid valve core 312 can move in the solenoid valve body 311. The pawl 4 is rigidly connected to the solenoid valve core 312. The solenoid valve body 311 is connected to an external power supply to control the solenoid valve core 312 to move outward along the radial direction of the parking ratchet 5 to separate the pawl 4 from the parking ratchet 5. In the driving state, the coil of the solenoid valve body 311 is in the energized state, and the solenoid valve core 312 and the pawl 4 move outward in the radial direction of the parking ratchet 5 under the action of the electromagnetic force of the solenoid valve body 311, and the pawl 4 is separated from the parking ratchet 5 to ensure the normal driving function; when the first adjustment component 31 is arranged above the parking ratchet 5, in the parking state, the coil of the solenoid valve body 311 is de-energized, and the solenoid valve body 311 has no electromagnetic force.

Compared with the existing electronic parking structure, the electronic parking structure in this example is integrated with the drive motor 2 in the EMB actuator, does not require a special motor and transmission mechanism, reduces costs, and has simple parts and a small layout space. It meets the wire-controlled driving and parking functions, and performs parking control by turning on and off the solenoid valve, and the technology is relatively mature.
[0042] In one embodiment, referring to Figure 1-4 The second adjustment component 32 is a return spring, the first end of the return spring is connected to the housing 1, and the second end of the return spring is connected to the first adjustment component 31; the return spring controls the pawl 4 to move inward along the radial direction of the parking ratchet 5 so that the pawl 4 engages with the parking ratchet 5.
[0043] As an example, the second adjusting component 32 is introduced as a return spring, the first end of the return spring is connected to the housing 1, and the second end of the return spring is connected to the first adjusting component 31. The elastic force of the return spring is used to control the pawl 4 to move inward along the radial direction of the parking ratchet 5 so that the pawl 4 engages with the parking ratchet 5; specifically, the second end of the return spring is connected to the solenoid valve body 311, and the return spring cooperates with the solenoid valve to control the pawl 4 to move along the radial direction of the parking ratchet 5 so that the pawl 4 engages with or disengages from the parking ratchet 5. In the driving state, the coil of the solenoid valve body 311 is energized, and the pawl 4 and the solenoid valve core 312 overcome the spring force of the return spring and move outward along the radial direction of the parking ratchet 5 under the electromagnetic force of the solenoid valve body 311, and the pawl 4 is separated from the parking ratchet 5 to ensure the normal driving function; in the parking state, the coil of the solenoid valve body 311 is de-energized, and the solenoid valve body 311 has no electromagnetic force. The pawl 4 moves inward along the radial direction of the parking ratchet 5 under the spring force of the return spring, and the pawl 4 and the parking ratchet 5 are meshed with each other, and the parking ratchet 5 is locked, thereby locking the output shaft 21 of the drive motor 2, realizing locking the wheel, and ensuring the normal parking function.

The second main body 13 extends from the outer edge of the connecting part 12 along the axial direction of the first main body 11. The connecting part 12 and the second main body 13 cooperate to expand the accommodating space of the shell 1. The first end of the adjusting mechanism 3 is connected to the inner wall of the second main body 13, and the adjusting mechanism 3 is placed separately from the drive motor 2 to avoid interference between the two, so as to facilitate the control of the working state of the output shaft 21 of the drive motor 2 through the adjusting mechanism 3; the adjusting mechanism 3 may not be in contact with the connecting part 12. With the connecting part 12 as a reference, the adjusting mechanism 3 moves along the radial direction of the connecting part 12 to control the pawl 4 to engage or disengage with the parking ratchet 5. Preferably, the adjusting mechanism 3 and the connecting part 12 can also be made to contact each other, or a guide slide can be provided between the adjusting mechanism 3 and the connecting part 12 to provide a moving guide for the adjusting mechanism 3 to move along the radial direction of the connecting part 12, so as to more conveniently control the engagement or disengagement of the pawl 4 and the parking ratchet 5.

In the driving state, the adjusting mechanism 3 moves outward along the radial direction of the parking ratchet 5, and the pawl 4 is separated from the parking ratchet 5 to ensure the normal driving function; in the parking state, the adjusting mechanism 3 moves inward along the radial direction of the parking ratchet 5, and the pawl 4 and the parking ratchet 5 are engaged with each other, and the parking ratchet 5 is locked and immovable, thereby locking the output shaft 21 of the drive motor 2, realizing locking the wheel, and ensuring the normal parking function. Compared with the existing electronic parking structure, the electronic parking structure in this example is integrated with the drive motor 2 in the EMB actuator, does not require a special motor and transmission mechanism, reduces the cost, and has simple parts and a small layout space, which meets the wire-controlled driving and parking functions.
[0055] As an example, the adjustment mechanism 3 includes a first adjustment component 31 and a second adjustment component 32 arranged along the radial direction of the parking ratchet 5; the first adjustment component 31 is a solenoid valve, including a solenoid valve body 311 and a solenoid valve core 312; the solenoid valve body 311 is connected to the shell 1, and the solenoid valve core 312 is arranged in the solenoid valve body 311, and the solenoid valve body 311 is connected to an external power supply, and the solenoid valve core 312 is controlled to move outward along the radial direction of the parking ratchet 5 to separate the pawl 4 from the parking ratchet 5; the second adjustment component 32 is a return spring, the first end of the return spring is connected to the shell 1, and the second end of the return spring is connected to the first adjustment component 31; the return spring controls the pawl 4 to move inward along the radial direction of the parking ratchet 5 to engage the pawl 4 with the parking ratchet 5.

Specifically, when the control signal is the start of the electronic parking switch, the solenoid valve body 311 is powered off; when the control signal is the release of the electronic parking switch, the solenoid valve body 311 is powered on. When the solenoid valve body 311 is in the power-on state, the solenoid valve body 311 can control the solenoid valve core 312 and the pawl 4 to move along the radial direction of the parking ratchet 5, so that the pawl 4 is engaged with or separated from the parking ratchet 5. When the solenoid valve body 311 is powered off, under the elastic force of the return spring, the solenoid valve core 312 and the pawl 4 move inward along the radial direction of the parking ratchet 5, and the pawl 4 engages with the parking ratchet 5; when the solenoid valve body 311 is powered on, under the electromagnetic force of the solenoid valve body 311, the solenoid valve core 312 and the pawl 4 move inward along the radial direction of the parking ratchet 5, and the pawl 4 separates from the parking ratchet 5.
[0056] In this example, according to actual conditions, the user can control the electronic parking switch to start or release. When the electronic parking switch is started, the controller outputs a signal to control the solenoid valve body 311 to cut off the power. Under the elastic force of the return spring, the solenoid valve core 312 and the pawl 4 move inward along the radial direction of the parking ratchet 5, and the pawl 4 engages with the parking ratchet 5 to realize the electronic parking function; when the electronic parking switch is released, the controller outputs a signal to control the solenoid valve body 311 to be energized. Under the electromagnetic force of the solenoid valve body 311, the elastic force of the return spring is overcome, and the solenoid valve core 312 and the pawl 4 move inward along the radial direction of the parking ratchet 5, and the pawl 4 is separated from the parking ratchet 5 to realize the driving function.
[0057] An embodiment of the present invention provides a car, including a parking control system.
[0058] As an example, the controller is connected to the adjustment mechanism 3 in the electronic parking structure, which is used to control the operation of the adjustment mechanism 3. The controller can output a control signal according to actual conditions. The adjustment mechanism 3 moves along the radial direction of the parking ratchet 5 according to the control signal to make the pawl 4 engage or disengage with the parking ratchet 5. In the driving state, the adjustment mechanism 3 moves outward along the radial direction of the parking ratchet 5, and the pawl 4 is separated from the parking ratchet 5 to ensure the normal driving function; in the parking state, the adjustment mechanism 3 moves inward along the radial direction of the parking ratchet 5, and the pawl 4 is engaged with the parking ratchet 5, and the parking ratchet 5 is locked and immovable, thereby locking the output shaft 21 of the drive motor 2, locking the wheel, and ensuring the normal parking function. Compared with the existing electronic parking structure, the electronic parking structure in this example is integrated with the drive motor 2 in the EMB actuator, does not require a special motor and transmission mechanism, reduces the cost, and has simple parts and a small layout space, which meets the wire-controlled driving and parking functions.
[0059] In this example, according to actual conditions, the user can control the electronic parking switch to start or release. When the electronic parking switch is started, the controller outputs a signal to control the solenoid valve body 311 to cut off the power. Under the elastic force of the return spring, the solenoid valve core 312 and the pawl 4 move inward along the radial direction of the parking ratchet 5, and the pawl 4 engages with the parking ratchet 5 to realize the electronic parking function; when the electronic parking switch is released, the controller outputs a signal to control the solenoid valve body 311 to be energized. Under the electromagnetic force of the solenoid valve body 311, the elastic force of the return spring is overcome, and the solenoid valve core 312 and the pawl 4 move inward along the radial direction of the parking ratchet 5, and the pawl 4 is separated from the parking ratchet 5 to realize the driving function.
