DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0032] The present invention is further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0033] Example 1

[0034] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the intelligent parking EPB valve system for commercial vehicles includes an electronic control unit 1, a normally closed first solenoid valve 2 and a second solenoid valve 3, and a normally open third solenoid valve 4, and also includes a pneumatic control valve 5, a relay valve 6 and a two-way check valve 7. The EPB valve also includes an air inlet 8 for the air source pressure to enter, and a check valve 9 is arranged at the air inlet 8; the electronic control unit 1 is used to receive signals to control each solenoid valve of the EPB valve, so as to realize the corresponding function.

[0035] The air inlet 8 is connected to the air source cylinder, and the air path of the air inlet 8 includes three paths, one of which is directly connected to the valve cavity of the relay valve 6; one is connected to the first solenoid valve 2; and another is connected to the pneumatic control valve 5;

[0036] The first solenoid valve 2 is electrically connected to the electronic control unit 1, the air inlet path of the first solenoid valve 2 is connected to the air inlet 8, and the air outlet path is divided into two paths, one path is connected to the control chamber of the pneumatic control valve 5, and the other path is connected to the two-way check valve 7;

[0037] The control chamber of the pneumatic control valve 5 is connected to the first solenoid valve 2 and the second solenoid valve 3; the air outlet path of the pneumatic control valve 5 includes an air path connected to the third solenoid valve 4;

[0038] The third solenoid valve 4 is electrically connected to the electronic control unit 1 , and the gas outlet path of the third solenoid valve 4 includes a gas path connected to the two-way one-way valve 7 ;

[0039] The second solenoid valve 3 is electrically connected to the electronic control unit 1 , and the air outlet of the second solenoid valve 3 is connected to the exhaust port 11 ; wherein the exhaust port 11 is connected to the outside atmosphere.

[0040] The control port 10 is connected to the two-way check valve 7, the two-way check valve 7 is connected to the upper chamber of the relay valve 6, and the EPB valve also includes an air outlet 12, the air outlet 12 is connected to the relay valve 6, and the exhaust port 11 is connected to the relay valve 6. The air outlet 12 is used to connect to the parking chamber of the spring brake cylinder, so as to input the air pressure of the air source into the parking chamber or discharge the compressed air in the parking chamber to the atmosphere.

[0041] In this embodiment, the first solenoid valve 2 and the second solenoid valve 3 are two-position two-way normally closed solenoid valves, and the third solenoid valve 4 is a two-position two-way normally open solenoid valve; the pneumatic control valve 5 is a two-position three-way pneumatic control valve 5 or a two-position two-way pneumatic control valve 5. The commercial vehicle intelligent parking EPB valve system also includes an air pressure sensor 13, which is connected to the air outlet 12 for detecting the air pressure of the air outlet 12, and the air pressure sensor 13 is electrically connected to the electronic control unit 1, and the air outlet 12 is used to connect to the parking chamber of the spring brake cylinder.

[0042] When the vehicle changes from the driving state to the parking state, the first solenoid valve 2 is not energized, and the second solenoid valve 3 and the third solenoid valve 4 are energized. At this time, the first solenoid valve 2 is in the disconnected state, the second solenoid valve 3 is in the disconnected state, and the third solenoid valve 4 is in the open state; the air pressure at the air inlet 8 enters the chamber of the relay valve 6, and the compressed air in the chamber of the relay valve 6 is discharged from the second solenoid valve 3 to the exhaust port 11, the relay piston returns, and the air outlet 12 is connected to the exhaust port 11; the compressed air in the parking chamber of the spring brake cylinder is discharged from the exhaust port 11 through the air outlet 12. Specifically, the compressed air in the control chamber of the relay valve 6 flows into the second solenoid valve 3 through the two-way check valve 7, and the compressed air flowing out of the second solenoid valve 3 The air is discharged into the atmosphere from the exhaust port 11 through the air path. At this time, the relay piston is pushed to the initial position, and the exhaust port 11 is connected to the relay valve 6 by an air path. When the relay piston returns to the initial position, the air outlet 12 is connected to the exhaust port 11 through the air path on the relay valve 6, so that the compressed air in the parking chamber of the spring brake cylinder is discharged into the atmosphere, thereby achieving the purpose of releasing the brake; at the same time, the compressed air in the control chamber of the pneumatic control valve 5 is also discharged into the atmosphere from the second solenoid valve 3 and the exhaust port 11, and the pneumatic control valve 5 returns to its position. The power-on time of the third solenoid valve 4 depends on the time for the gas in the control chamber of the relay valve 6 chamber to be discharged. This process is generally short and will not cause damage to the solenoid valve.

[0043] When the vehicle needs to switch from the parking state to the driving state, the first solenoid valve 2 and the third solenoid valve 4 are energized, and the second solenoid valve 3 is not energized. At this time, the first solenoid valve 2 is in the open state, the second solenoid valve 3 is in the closed state, and the third solenoid valve 4 is in the closed state; the air source pressure enters the relay valve 6 from the air inlet 8; one way passes through the first solenoid valve 2; the compressed air through the first solenoid valve 2 enters the upper chamber of the relay valve 6 one way, and enters the control chamber of the pneumatic control valve 5 to open the pneumatic control valve 5, so at this time, the air of the air source can flow directly through the pneumatic control valve 5 from the air inlet 8, and then the first solenoid valve 2 is de-energized first, and then the second solenoid valve 3 is de-energized, and the compressed air of the air source enters the upper chamber of the relay piston of the relay valve 6 through the pneumatic control valve 5 and the third solenoid valve 4 in turn to open the relay valve 6, and at this time, the compressed air of the air inlet 8 is discharged from the air outlet 12 into the parking chamber of the spring brake cylinder, and the vehicle is released from the brake. The power-on time of the first solenoid valve 2 and the second solenoid valve 3 is set by the system, and it only needs to be able to open the pneumatic control valve 5, so the power-on time is extremely short. Therefore, this mode has low requirements on the working time of the solenoid valve, so the service life of the solenoid valve is longer. Because the solenoid valve will generate heat and other phenomena when working for a long time, it will damage the service life of the solenoid valve.

[0044] One of the air outlet interfaces of the pneumatic control valve 5 is connected to the exhaust port 11. When the vehicle is in the parking state, if the first solenoid valve 2 leaks or the compressed air at the air inlet 8 flows out from the first solenoid valve 2 due to other reasons, the leaked compressed air is discharged into the atmosphere directly from the control chamber of the pneumatic control valve 5 through the cavity inside the pneumatic control valve 5, thereby ensuring the safety of the EPB valve body and avoiding the situation where the parking fails due to the leakage of the first solenoid valve 2 when the vehicle is in the parking state.

[0045] The control chamber of the pneumatic control valve 5 is externally connected to a normally closed manual control valve 23. The normally closed manual control valve 23 in this embodiment is a two-position two-way normally closed manual control valve. Of course, other types of manual control valves can also be selected as long as manual control can be achieved. The manual control valve is generally used in the case of manual brake release. In this case, the manual control valve is opened, and the compressed air enters the control chamber of the pneumatic control valve 5 through the manual control valve, thereby opening the valve core so that the compressed air at the air inlet 8 can enter the third solenoid valve 4 and then act on the upper chamber of the relay piston of the relay valve 6, so that the air outlet 12 and the air inlet 8 are connected, so as to pressurize the parking chamber and release the brake.

[0046] In this embodiment, there is a first gas circuit connection point 20 and a second gas circuit connection point 21. The first gas circuit connection point 20 has three mutually connected passages, one passage is connected to the gas outlet end of the first solenoid valve 2, one passage is connected to the control chamber of the pneumatic control valve 5, and another passage is connected to the second gas circuit connection point 21; the second gas circuit connection point 21 has four mutually connected gas circuits, one passage is connected to the gas outlet end of the third solenoid valve 4, one passage is connected to the gas inlet end of the second solenoid valve 3, one passage is connected to the two-way one-way valve 9, and the last passage is connected to the first gas circuit connection point 20.

[0047] Example 2

[0048] Different from the embodiment 1, the first solenoid valve 2 and the second solenoid valve 3 in this embodiment are two-position three-way solenoid valves.

[0049] Example 3

[0050] The vehicle also includes a spare air port 22 for connecting the trailer parking brake module. The spare air port 22 is used to realize the electronic parking brake of the trailer part by using the spare air port when there is also a trailer of the commercial vehicle.

[0051] Example 4

[0052] This embodiment provides an EPB valve assembly for intelligent parking of commercial vehicles, and the EPB valve assembly integrates the intelligent parking EPB valve system of the commercial vehicle in Embodiment 1.

[0053] Example 5

[0054] like Figures 1 to 3As shown, the control method of intelligent parking includes the control method of switching from driving state to parking state and the control method of switching from parking state to driving state described in Example 1. The control method also includes anti-overlapping control: the EPB valve also includes a control port 10, and the control port 10 is connected to the two-way check valve 7. When the brake pedal is stepped on, the air pressure of the control port 10 enters the upper chamber of the relay piston, opens the relay valve 6, and the compressed air of the air inlet 8 enters the parking chamber of the spring brake cylinder from the air outlet 12, and the vehicle releases the brake.

[0055] The control method also includes emergency brake control. The intelligent parking system includes a control switch, which is an adjustable switch. The opening of the control switch can control the pressure in the parking chamber of the spring brake cylinder. The control switch is electrically connected to the electronic control unit 1. The electronic control unit 1 obtains the opening of the control switch to calculate the pressure in the parking chamber of the spring brake cylinder at the opening, and then performs the parking action. The air pressure sensor 13 detects the air pressure of the air outlet 12 in real time and transmits it to the electronic control unit 1. The electronic control unit 1 controls whether to stop the parking brake according to the current pressure of the air outlet 12 and the pressure corresponding to the calculated control switch. The pressure value of the air outlet 12 corresponding to the opening of the control switch calculated by the electronic control unit 1 is referenced by the pressure value of the air outlet 12 in the initial state. The pressure value of the air outlet 12 in the initial state is collected and transmitted to the electronic control unit 1 by the air pressure sensor 13.

[0056] In conclusion, the above is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention, and all equivalent changes and modifications made according to the scope of the patent application of the present invention should fall within the scope of the patent of the present invention.
