Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of new energy vehicle technology, and in particular to an electromagnetic braking assembly specifically designed for new energy pure electric vehicles. Background Technology
[0002] Electric vehicles are vehicles powered by an onboard power source, using an electric motor to drive the wheels, and meeting all road traffic and safety regulations. Due to their relatively smaller environmental impact compared to traditional vehicles, their prospects are widely considered promising. The classic vacuum-assisted braking technology works by the driver applying force to the brake pedal. This force is amplified and converted into hydraulic pressure by the vacuum booster system, acting on the brakes to achieve braking. Modern automotive vacuum booster systems consist of a vacuum booster connected to the brake master cylinder, a vacuum tank, a vacuum pump, and vacuum tubing. The vacuum booster connected to the brake master cylinder utilizes the pressure difference between the vacuum and atmosphere to amplify the braking force applied by the driver to the pedal and transmit this force to the brake master cylinder, establishing hydraulic pressure and converting pedal force into hydraulic force. The brake fluid then transmits this pressure to the brakes, thus achieving braking. This system has the following drawbacks: First, it cannot achieve active braking because the current braking mechanism requires pedal force input, which is converted into hydraulic pressure before braking can be achieved. This pedal force input must be performed by the driver. Second, the current braking system has a slow response because it relies on brake fluid as the force transmission medium. The force applied to the pedal is transmitted to the brake via the master cylinder, resulting in low efficiency and numerous components involved in fluid pressure transmission, leading to a slow braking response. Third, the current braking system cannot achieve energy recovery because the braking principle relies on friction between the friction pads and the brake disc, and the energy generated by this friction cannot be recovered. Its application in new energy pure electric vehicles presents many safety hazards, unreliable performance, high power consumption, and high costs. If all new energy pure electric vehicles were to adopt the dedicated electromagnetic braking assembly described in this invention, the aforementioned problems and hazards would be fundamentally solved, and functional components would be reduced, costs lowered, and performance made safer and more reliable. Summary of the Invention

[0008] Furthermore, the gap between the oil return hole and the oil inlet hole on the oil pump chamber partition is greater than the thickness of the main piston. The rear end face of the main piston and the inner edge of the oil inlet hole are located on the same vertical plane. When the brake electronic control board does not receive the electrical signal generated by the brake pedal, the main piston chamber is connected to the oil reservoir.
[0009] Furthermore, the upper part of the main piston chamber is provided with an oil pressure sensor interface that communicates with the main piston chamber, and an oil pressure sensor is installed on the oil pressure sensor interface.

[0011] Furthermore, the main housing and the oil pump housing are connected and fixed by a coupling gasket.
[0012] Furthermore, one side wall of the thrust chamber is provided with an inwardly oriented boss, through which the main shaft passes, and the main shaft is installed with the side wall and the boss via a sliding sleeve.
[0013] Furthermore, the axes of the main shaft and the piston rod are located on the same straight line, and the main shaft abuts against the piston rod.

The oil pump chamber partition 9 is provided with an oil return hole 12 and an oil inlet hole 13 in sequence. The main piston chamber 11 is equipped with a main piston 14, which divides the piston chamber into a main oil chamber 15 and an auxiliary oil chamber 16. An elastic element is provided between the main piston 14 and the main oil chamber 15. The oil storage chamber 10 is connected to the main oil chamber 15 and the auxiliary oil chamber 16 through the oil return hole 12 and the oil inlet hole 13 to allow brake fluid to circulate. The lower part of the main oil chamber 15 is provided with an interface 17 that communicates with the brake fluid pipe. The oil storage chamber 10 is provided with a filler cap 18. The piston rod of the main piston 14 extends out of the main piston chamber 11. The gap between the return oil hole 12 and the inlet oil hole 13 on the oil pump chamber partition 9 is greater than the thickness of the main piston 14. The rear end face of the main piston 14 and the inner edge of the inlet oil hole 13 are located on the same vertical plane. When the brake control board does not receive the electrical signal generated by the brake pedal, the main piston chamber 11 is connected to the oil reservoir 10. The main piston chamber 11 has an inwardly oriented boss on one side wall of the piston rod. The piston rod passes through the boss and the side wall of the oil pump housing 7. A sealing ring is provided between the piston rod, the side wall, and the boss. The upper part of the main piston chamber 11 has an oil pressure sensor interface 19 that communicates with the main piston chamber 11. An oil pressure sensor is installed on the oil pressure sensor interface 19. The brake control board receives the electrical signal generated by the brake pedal and sends it to the electromagnetic thruster, which drives the main piston 14 to reciprocate in the main piston chamber 11.
[0023] The electromagnetic thruster includes an electromagnetic coil 20 fixedly mounted on the inner wall of the thrust chamber 6. A horizontally movable main shaft 21 is mounted on opposite side walls of the thrust chamber 6, with both ends of the main shaft 21 extending beyond the side walls. A magnet 22 is mounted on the main shaft 21 within the thrust chamber 6. A gap exists between the electromagnetic coil 20 and the magnet 22.

[0027] This invention discloses an electromagnetic brake assembly specifically designed for new energy pure electric vehicles. The electrical signal generated by the brake pedal is directly connected to the brake control board in the control room. The brake control board supplies a corresponding DC current to the electromagnetic coil based on the signal voltage level, generating a DC magnetic field within the coil. Under the influence of this DC magnetic field, a permanent magnet generates a corresponding thrust to drive the main shaft. The electromagnetic thruster utilizes the linear thrust generated by a voice coil motor to push the main piston of the hydraulic pump via the main shaft. The main piston moves under the thrust, blocking the upper oil inlet. As the main piston continues to move, hydraulic pressure is generated within the piston chamber. This hydraulic pressure, flowing through the brake fluid and brake line interface, is transmitted to the hydraulic brakes on the wheels, achieving the braking function.
[0028] Each wheel is equipped with an independent electromagnetic brake assembly. Therefore, the braking characteristics are safe and reliable.
[0029] The beneficial effects of this invention are as follows: The electromagnetic braking assembly specifically designed for new energy pure electric vehicles improves the safety and reliability of these vehicles, simplifies their structure, and effectively reduces costs.
