BRAKE SYSTEM

Abstract

A braking system (1) is provided, comprising a first braking system (50) with a first main hydraulic pressure path (51) and a switching valve (56) provided in the first main hydraulic pressure path (51). A second braking system (60) is provided with a third main hydraulic pressure path (61). A connecting hydraulic pressure path (71) leads from the first main hydraulic pressure path (51) to the third main hydraulic pressure path (61). When the switching valve (56) is actuated, it assumes a state in which the first main hydraulic pressure path (51) and the connecting hydraulic pressure path (71) do not communicate with each other. When the switching valve (56) is not actuated, it assumes a state in which the first main hydraulic pressure path (51) and the connecting hydraulic pressure path (71) do communicate with each other.In this configuration, even if a first brake unit (10) is not actuated, brake hydraulic pressure can be applied to a wheel brake of the first brake unit (10).
