Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the field of automobile braking systems, in particular to a dual-redundancy wire-controlled pneumatic-hydraulic braking system. Background Art
[0002] With the advancement of automotive industrialization, information technology, and artificial intelligence, vehicles are becoming increasingly intelligent and automated. Autonomous driving technology integrates multiple sensors to perceive the road environment, combines high-precision maps with high-precision positioning to achieve path planning, and then controls vehicle movement based on decision-making. Autonomous driving technology can improve road traffic efficiency, reduce traffic accidents and casualties, enhance vehicle operating efficiency, reduce driver workload, lower energy consumption and emissions, and enhance travel comfort. Innovations in intelligent driving and chassis architecture are driving increasing end-user demand for safety, comfort, and user experience. Currently, smart cars must achieve four key advancements: electrification, automation, connectivity, and personalization. The most fundamental of these is electrification. The advent of the electric vehicle era has spurred the development of autonomous driving. As autonomous driving progresses, safety becomes paramount. If an actuator fails in the system, redundant backups must be available to take over and resume functionality within a short period of time. At the vehicle hardware level, a highly secure chassis actuator system is paramount. Within the chassis system, the braking system is central to ensuring the safety of intelligent vehicles, whether at the intelligent assisted driving level or autonomous driving. The reliability of drive-by-wire is closely linked to the functional safety of subsequent intelligent driving. High-level autonomous driving places even higher demands on vehicle braking safety, requiring the braking system to have sufficient failover redundancy. For advanced intelligent driving braking systems, backup operations previously performed by the driver now need to be handled by the vehicle control system, posing new challenges for the vehicle's braking system.
[0003] The braking systems currently used in smart cars are essentially all hydraulic brake-by-wire systems. These systems can be categorized into two types based on their configuration. The first, typically characterized by a "MC master cylinder + pedal simulator + high-pressure accumulator + electronic control unit (ECU)," can be used for Level 2 intelligent assisted driving. However, this configuration is limited to a single high-voltage source, the accumulator. In the event of a pressure failure in the high-pressure accumulator, the braking power source must rely solely on manual braking by the driver. This approach is unsuitable for high-level autonomous driving and lacks sufficient safety redundancy. The second, typically characterized by a "brushless DC motor + ball screw auxiliary drive servo cylinder + solenoid valve hydraulic adjustment unit," features independent braking functions in the brushless DC motor, servo cylinder, and solenoid valve hydraulic adjustment unit. While this brake-by-wire system can be used for Level 3 autonomous driving, it can still experience significant braking performance degradation in the event of a main braking system failure (e.g., servo cylinder failure, brushless DC motor failure, or power supply voltage failure). This inadequate braking system maintains safe braking and fails to meet the requirements for redundant backup for multiple failure conditions, resulting in insufficient safety redundancy. Therefore, it still cannot meet the braking safety requirements of high-level autonomous driving vehicles.
[0004] In summary, existing hydraulic brake-by-wire systems all suffer from insufficient braking redundancy, failing to provide safe and reliable braking support for advanced autonomous driving technologies. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a brake-by-wire system for advanced intelligent vehicles that can provide redundant braking support to address a variety of braking system failure scenarios. Summary of the Invention
[0005] The present invention provides a dual-redundant wire-controlled pneumatic-hydraulic brake system, which can solve the problem of functional redundancy backup in various brake system failure situations.

The ninth pipeline and the tenth pipeline are respectively provided with a first control valve and a second control valve;
[0008] It also includes a positive pressure booster, which has a servo chamber and a piston chamber isolated from each other. The piston in the servo chamber is connected to the first piston of the double-chamber series master cylinder through a push rod. A first one-way valve is arranged between the piston chamber and the servo chamber. The movable parts in the piston chamber are also connected to the brake pedal through a ball push rod. The servo chamber is connected to the air suspension module through a pipeline. The gas delivery pipeline inside the air suspension module is connected to the servo chamber and the piston chamber respectively through the first air valve and the second air valve. The first air valve and the second air valve control the opening or closing of the air pipeline.
[0009] When the system is in normal braking mode but has not yet braked, the pedal simulator valve is energized, the valve port is opened, and the oil path from the first chamber of the master cylinder to the pedal simulator is connected, so that the brake pedal and the wheel cylinder are always kept decoupled; the first control valve and the second control valve are energized, and the valve port is opened.
[0010] When the vehicle is powered on, the ECU controls the two first control valves and the second control valve and one pedal simulator valve to be powered on, and the valve ports are opened; when the driver steps on the brake pedal, the pedal displacement sensor and the first pressure sensor detect the braking intention and transmit the signal to the MCU main chip. The ECU controls the first isolation valve and the second isolation valve to be powered on, and the valve ports are closed; as the pedal moves forward, the primary chamber of the brake master cylinder builds pressure, and the brake fluid continuously enters the pedal simulator through the pedal simulator valve.

[0016] Preferably, a second one-way valve and a pedal simulator control valve are arranged in parallel on the seventh pipeline. The pedal simulator control valve is used to control the passage between the pedal simulator and the first chamber of the master cylinder to realize the control of the operation of the pedal simulator.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0024] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be described clearly and completely below with reference to the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention.
[0025] Existing wire-controlled hydraulic brake systems all have the brake pedal directly connected to the MC series master cylinder, which cannot meet the L3 redundant braking requirements. In order to meet the high requirements of existing smart cars for redundant braking, the present invention provides the following technical solutions:
[0026] like Figure 1-2As shown, a dual-redundant wire-controlled pneumatic-hydraulic brake system includes a first power-assisting module A; an active safety module B, which is integrated in the first power-assisting module A; the first power-assisting module A includes a fluid reservoir 7, a motor 9, a dual-chamber series master cylinder 6, a servo cylinder 8, a pedal simulator 5, and an ECU; the fluid in the first master cylinder chamber 61 of the dual-chamber series master cylinder 6 is connected to the second pipe a2 and the third pipe a3 of the active safety module B via a first pipeline a1; the fluid in the second master cylinder chamber 62 of the dual-chamber series master cylinder 6 is connected to the fifth pipe a5 and the sixth pipe a6 of the active safety module B via a fourth pipeline a4; the first pipeline a1 is provided with a first isolation valve ISO-1, and the fourth pipeline a4 is provided with a second isolation valve ISO-2; the first master cylinder chamber 61 and the second master cylinder chamber 62 are both connected to the fluid reservoir 7;
[0027] The low-pressure chamber of the pedal simulator 5 is connected to the fluid reservoir 7 via a pipeline, and the high-pressure chamber of the pedal simulator 5 is connected to the first chamber 61 of the master cylinder via a seventh pipeline a7. The motor 9 is used to drive the servo cylinder 8, which is connected to the fluid reservoir 7 via an eighth pipeline a8. The servo cylinder 8 is also connected to the third pipeline a3 and the fifth pipeline a5 via a ninth pipeline a9 and a tenth pipeline a10, respectively. The ninth pipeline a9 and the tenth pipeline a10 are respectively provided with a first control valve CV-1 and a second control valve CV-2.
[0028] It also includes a positive pressure booster 1, which has a servo chamber 12 and a piston chamber 11 that are isolated from each other. The piston in the servo chamber 12 is connected to the piston inside the dual-chamber series master cylinder 6 through a push rod. A first one-way valve 4 is provided on the pipeline between the piston chamber 11 and the servo chamber 12. The movable parts in the piston chamber 11 are connected to the brake pedal 2 through a ball push rod at the same time. The servo chamber 12 is connected to the air suspension module C through a pipeline. The gas delivery pipeline inside the air suspension module C is connected to the servo chamber 12 and the piston chamber 11 respectively through the first air valve AV-5 and the second air valve AV-6.
[0029] When the system is in normal braking mode but has not yet applied the brakes, the pedal simulator control valve PSV is energized, the valve port opens, and the oil circuit from the master cylinder's first chamber 61 to the pedal simulator 5 is connected, maintaining the decoupling state between the brake pedal 2 and the wheel cylinder. The first control valve CV-1 and the second control valve CV-2 are energized, and the valve ports open. When the vehicle is powered on, the ECU controls the two first control valves CV-1 and CV-2 and the pedal simulator control valve PSV to energize and open. When the driver presses the brake pedal, the pedal displacement sensor and the first pressure sensor detect the braking intention and transmit the signal to the MCU main chip. The ECU controls the first isolation valve ISO-1 and the second isolation valve ISO-2 to energize and close the valve ports. As the brake pedal 2 moves forward, the pressure in the master cylinder's first chamber 61 builds, and brake fluid continuously enters the pedal simulator 5. The pressure in the pedal simulator 5 increases, giving the driver a braking pedal feel and ensuring the decoupling of the brake pedal 2 from the wheel cylinder.
[0030] When the ECU controls the first isolation valve ISO-1 and the second isolation valve ISO-2 to be powered on, the ECU controls the brushless DC motor 9 to operate, drives the piston of the servo cylinder 8 forward through the ball screw assembly, builds pressure in the servo cylinder 8, and builds pressure in the wheel cylinder through the first control valve CV-1 and the second control valve CV-2, thereby realizing the output of brake assist.
[0031] When the intelligent braking system receives an active braking command from the vehicle, it can automatically brake. This active redundant braking function serves as a redundant backup for automatic braking. When the ECU of the air suspension module C is powered on, the first air valve AV-5 is activated and opened. Air from the air suspension module C enters the servo chamber 12 of the positive pressure booster 1. Because of the built-in first check valve 4 between the servo chamber 12 and the piston chamber 11, air in the servo chamber 12 is prevented from entering the piston chamber 11. The air acts on the servo piston in the servo chamber 12, pushing the dual-chamber tandem master cylinder 6 forward. The first and second chambers 61 and 62 of the master cylinder compress the brake fluid, building pressure in the front and rear wheel cylinders. The positive pressure booster 1 precisely regulates pressure through the first air valve AV-5, multiplying the braking force through air pressure. For autonomous vehicles above Level 3, the intervention of the air suspension module C provides a power source for active braking without pedaling, meeting the requirements of autonomous vehicles above Level 3.
[0032] During normal braking, the driver steps on the brake pedal 2, the displacement sensor and the first pressure sensor can detect the driver's braking intention and transmit the signal to the ECU. The ECU controls the second air valve AV-6 to open, and the air source of the air suspension module C can enter the piston chamber 11 of the positive pressure booster 1 through the second air valve AV-6, and together with the brake pedal 2 and the ball head push rod, push the movable parts in the piston chamber 11 to move axially. The movable parts here can be pistons, guide sleeves, etc. The movable parts can squeeze the gas in the piston chamber 11 into the servo chamber 12, so that the servo piston is pushed forward by the air to drive the dual-chamber series master cylinder 6. The air entering the piston chamber 11 from the second air valve AV-6 can be assisted by air pressure to multiply the braking force.
[0033] Preferably, the active safety module B includes four boost valves ISV1 / ISV2 / ISV3 / ISV4 respectively installed on the second pipeline a2, the third pipeline a3, the fifth pipeline a5 and the sixth pipeline a6, the four boost valves ISV1 / ISV2 / ISV3 / ISV4 are connected to four wheels respectively, and the four wheels are also connected to four pressure reducing valves OSV1 / OSV2 / OSV3 / OSV4 respectively, the four pressure reducing valves OSV1 / OSV2 / OSV3 / OSV4 are connected to the fluid storage tank 7 through the eleventh pipeline a11, one pressure reducing valve and one boost valve jointly control one wheel, and the opening adjustment of the pressure reducing valve and the boost valve can adjust the hydraulic pressure delivered to each wheel, thereby adjusting the braking force, wherein the four boost valves ISV1 / ISV2 / ISV3 / ISV4 are connected to the four wheels respectively, and the four pressure reducing valves OSV1 / OSV2 / OSV3 / OSV4 are connected to the fluid storage tank 7 through the eleventh pipeline a11, V2 / ISV3 / ISV4 can adopt a two-position, two-position normally open linear solenoid valve, and the four pressure reducing valves OSV1 / OSV2 / OSV3 / OSV4 adopt a two-position, two-position normally closed linear solenoid valve. Specifically, the input end of each pressure reducing valve OSV1 / OSV2 / OSV3 / OSV4 is connected to the first output port of the corresponding first isolation valve ISO-1 or the second isolation valve ISO-2, the input end of each boosting valve ISV1 / ISV2 / ISV3 / ISV4 is connected to the second output port of the corresponding first control valve CV-1 or the second control valve CV-2, and the output ends of each pressure reducing valve OSV1 / OSV2 / OSV3 / OSV4 and each boosting valve ISV1 / ISV2 / ISV3 / ISV4 are respectively connected to the four-wheel brakes of the vehicle.
[0034] During normal braking, the fluid outlet of the first chamber 61 of the master cylinder is connected to the wheel end FL / RR through the pipeline and the first control valve CV-1, the boost valve ISV1 / ISV2, and the pressure reducing valve OSV1 / OSV2; the fluid outlet of the second chamber 62 of the master cylinder is connected to the wheel end FR / RL through the pipeline and the second control valve CV-2, the boost valve ISV3 / ISV4, and the pressure reducing valve OSV3 / OSV4.
[0035] In this embodiment, the master cylinder's first chamber 61 integrates a displacement sensor for detecting the displacement of brake pedal 2. The master cylinder's second chamber 62 integrates a first pressure sensor for real-time monitoring of the chamber pressure of pedal simulator 5. When the driver depresses the brake pedal, the displacement sensor and first pressure sensor detect the braking intention and transmit a signal to the ECU, which then energizes and closes the first and second isolation valves ISO-1 and ISO-2. Furthermore, a second pressure sensor is integrated into the oil outlet line of the servo cylinder 8 to detect the servo cylinder pressure.
[0036] In this embodiment, a second one-way valve 13 and a pedal simulator control valve PSV are arranged in parallel on the seventh pipeline a7. The pedal simulator control valve PSV is used to control the passage between the pedal simulator 5 and the first chamber 61 of the master cylinder to realize the control of the operation of the pedal simulator 5. The pedal simulator control valve PSV is synchronously controlled with the first control valve CV-1 and the second control valve CV-2.
[0037] In this embodiment, the servo cavity 12 is connected to the exhaust control valve EV in the air suspension module C through a pipeline, or is externally connected to a spare exhaust control valve EV1, so that the air in the servo cavity 12 can be quickly discharged.
