[0023] It should be noted that these drawings and textual descriptions are not intended to limit the conceptual scope of the present invention in any way, but rather to illustrate the concept of the present invention for those skilled in the art by referring to specific embodiments. DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0024] In order to make the purpose, technical solutions and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention clearer, the technical solutions in the embodiments will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. The following embodiments are used to illustrate the present invention but are not used to limit the scope of the present invention.

[0025] In the description of this utility model, it should be noted that, unless otherwise specified or limited, the terms "mounted," "connected," and "connected" should be understood in a broad sense. For example, they can refer to fixed connections, detachable connections, or integral connections; mechanical connections, electrical connections; and direct connections or indirect connections through an intermediary. Those skilled in the art will understand the specific meanings of these terms in this utility model based on the specific circumstances.

[0026] like Figure 1 As shown, a brake hydraulic component fault detection system includes a variable pump 1, a pedal valve 2, an angle sensor 3, a controller 4, a front wheel brake 5, a front relay valve 6, a pressure sensor 7, a rear wheel brake 8, a rear relay valve 9, a pressure sensor 10, and an oil tank 11. The variable pump 1 serves as the hydraulic system oil source, outputting hydraulic oil to the pedal valve 2, the front relay valve 6, and the rear relay valve 9. When the pedal valve 2 is depressed, the pedal valve 2 outputs pressure oil proportional to the pedal angle to the PP pilot ports of the front relay valve 6 and the rear relay valve 9, respectively. The angle sensor 3 detects the depressed pedal angle and sends the result to the controller 4. The front relay valve 6 and the rear relay valve 9 then output pressure oil proportional to the PP pilot pressure to the front wheel brake 5 and the rear wheel brake 8. The pressure sensors 7 and 10 detect the pressures of the front wheel brake 5 and the rear wheel brake 8 and send them to the controller 4. If a fault occurs in the pedal valve or relay valve, the controller calculates and compares the pedal valve angle and the front and rear wheel brake pressures, and then controls the vehicle alarm system to issue an alarm.

[0027] A further solution: the vehicle alarm system is composed of a vehicle display screen for fault display and / or an audible and visual alarm for audible and visual prompts.

[0028] The working process of the above-mentioned brake hydraulic component fault detection system is given below:

[0029] Continue to refer to Figure 1As shown, when the brake hydraulic system of a mining dump truck operates normally: variable displacement pump 1 delivers hydraulic oil to pedal valve 2, front relay valve 6, and rear relay valve 9. Angle sensor 3 detects the angle at which the driver depresses pedal valve 2 and transmits the result to controller 4. Pedal valve 2 then delivers pressure oil proportional to the angle detected by angle sensor 3 to the PP pilot ports of front relay valve 6 and rear relay valve 9, respectively. Front relay valve 6 delivers pressure oil proportional to the pressure at the PP pilot port to the front wheel brake 5. Pressure sensor 7 detects the pressure at the front wheel brake 5 and transmits the result to controller 4. Rear relay valve 9 delivers pressure oil proportional to the pressure at the PP pilot port to the rear wheel brake 8. Pressure sensor 10 detects the pressure at the rear wheel brake 8 and transmits the result to controller 4. Based on the angle-pressure ratio of pedal valve 2, the pilot pressure-to-operating pressure ratio of the front relay valve 6, the pilot pressure-to-operating pressure ratio of the rear relay valve 9, and the angle signaled by angle sensor 3, controller 4 calculates the correct pressures A1 and A2 of pedal valve 2 to the front and rear wheel brakes 5 and 8, respectively. The controller 4 compares the detected pressure sent by the pressure sensors 7 and 10 with the calculated correct pressure at the same time, and does not issue an alarm if the operation is normal.

[0030] When a mining dump truck's brake hydraulic components, including the pedal valve and relay valve, malfunction, the variable displacement pump 1 delivers hydraulic fluid to the pedal valve 2, front relay valve 6, and rear relay valve 9. The angle sensor 3 detects the angle at which the driver depresses the pedal valve 2 and transmits this information to the controller 4. The pedal valve 2 then delivers pressure oil proportional to the angle detected by the angle sensor 3 to the PP pilot ports of the front and rear relay valves 6 and 9, respectively. The front relay valve 6 delivers pressure oil proportional to the pressure at the PP pilot port to the front wheel brake 5. The pressure sensor 7 detects the pressure at the front wheel brake 5 and transmits this information to the controller 4. The rear relay valve 9 delivers pressure oil proportional to the pressure at the PP pilot port to the rear wheel brake 8. The pressure sensor 10 detects the pressure at the rear wheel brake 8 and transmits this information to the controller 4. The controller 4 calculates the correct pressures A1 and A2 of the pedal valve 2 to the front and rear wheel brakes 5 and 8 based on the angle-pressure ratio of the pedal valve 2, the pilot pressure-to-operating pressure ratio of the front and rear relay valves 6 and 9, and the angle signaled by the angle sensor 3. Controller 4 simultaneously compares the detected pressures sent by pressure sensors 7 and 10 with the calculated correct pressures. If the pedal valve 2 or the front relay valve 6 malfunctions, the pressure of the front wheel brake 5 detected by pressure sensor 7 will not match the calculated correct pressure, and controller 4 will issue a front brake pressure alarm. If the pedal valve 2 or the rear relay valve 9 malfunctions, the pressure of the rear wheel brake 8 detected by pressure sensor 10 will not match the calculated correct pressure, and controller 4 will issue a rear brake pressure alarm.

[0031] In summary, the utility model detects the pedal valve angle and the front and rear wheel brake pressures, and the controller performs calculations and comparisons, which can promptly issue an alarm for brake hydraulic component pedal valve and relay valve failures, thereby improving safety; by adding an angle sensor to realize brake hydraulic component pedal valve and relay valve failure detection, its structural layout is simple and reliable.
