[0033] Example 1

[0034] like Figure 1 As shown, the Type I parking relay valve 100A provided in Embodiment 1 of the present invention is used for the air braking of a vehicle, and includes a valve housing 110, a main piston 120, and a supply piston 130.

[0035] The valve housing 110 is provided with a parking chamber 140, a control chamber 150 and an ejection function chamber 160 arranged sequentially from bottom to top;

[0036] The main piston 120 includes a piston rod 121 and a piston block 122 disposed at one end of the piston rod 121.

[0040] The pop-up function cavity 160 is provided with a pop-up slider 163 sleeved on the piston rod 121 and a pop-up spring 173 acting on the pop-up slider 163, the pop-up slider 163 can drive the main piston 120 to move synchronously, the pop-up function cavity 160 is divided into an ambient pressure sub-cavity 161 and a pop-up control sub-cavity 162 by the pop-up slider 163, the ambient pressure sub-cavity 161 is provided with a fourth port 164 in communication with the external air, and the pop-up control sub-cavity 162 is provided with a fifth port 165 connected with the service brake circuit;

[0041] When the pressure of the PB control sub-cavity 152 decreases, the main spring 171 drives the piston block 122 to move upward, so that the PB cavity of the brake cylinder is in communication with the discharge passage 131 of the supply piston 130, and braking is realized;

[0042] When the pressure of the PB control sub-cavity 152 increases, the piston block 122 drives the supply piston 130 to move downward, so that the PB system is in communication with the PB cavity of the brake cylinder, and releasing is realized;

[0043] When the maximum pressure of the service brake circuit is as low as a first preset value, the pop-up spring 173 drives the main piston 120 to move upward through the pop-up slider 163 and releases the supply piston 130, so that the PB cavity of the brake cylinder is in communication with the discharge passage 131 of the supply piston 130, and self-braking is realized.

[0044] In order to make the pop-up slider 163 smoothly drive the main piston 120 to move upward and release the supply piston 130, the part of the piston rod 121 located in the pop-up function cavity 160 is provided with a protruding part 123 in abutting cooperation with the pop-up slider 163. In the embodiment, the pop-up slider 163 is provided with a hole through which the upper end of the piston rod 121 penetrates, and the top end of the piston rod 121 is provided with a protruding ring forming the protruding part 123, and the outer diameter of the protruding ring is greater than the inner diameter of the hole of the pop-up slider 163 through which the piston rod 121 penetrates.

[0045] The type I parking relay valve 100A of the embodiment is mainly used for braking of a trailer, and the air pressure of a service brake circuit is consistent with that of a service brake circuit in a towing vehicle. The air pressure of the service brake circuit includes that of a main service brake circuit and that of a secondary service brake circuit. The first preset value is specifically 40 PSI.

[0046] The parking chamber 140 and the PB brake sub-chamber 151 of the control chamber 150 are provided with a communication passage 180, and the supply piston 130 is partially located in the communication passage 180. The supply piston 130 can move downward to leave the valve housing 110 under the abutting action of the main piston 120. At this time, the parking chamber 140 and the PB brake sub-chamber 151 can be communicated through the communication passage 180, so that the first port 141 and the second port 153 are communicated, and the supply pressure of the PB system can be output to the PB chamber of the brake cylinder through the first port 141, the parking chamber 140, the communication passage 180, the PB brake sub-chamber 151 and the second port 153. When the pressure of the first port 141 and the second port 153 reaches equilibrium, the supply piston 130 is reset under the action of the secondary spring 172, the supply piston 130 abuts against the valve housing 110, the communication passage 180 is closed by the supply piston 130, the PB system and the PB chamber of the brake cylinder are disconnected, and the switching from parking to release is realized.

[0047] When parking is needed, the air in the PB control sub-chamber 152 is discharged, the air pressure of the PB control sub-chamber 152 is reduced, the main piston 120 moves upward under the elastic force of the main spring 171, the main piston 120 releases the supply piston 130, the PB brake sub-chamber 151 and the discharge passage 131 of the supply piston 130 are communicated, the PB chamber of the brake cylinder is communicated with the discharge passage 131 through the first port 141 and the PB brake sub-chamber 151, and the air in the PB chamber of the brake cylinder can be discharged through the first port 141, the PB brake sub-chamber 151 and the discharge passage 131. The air pressure of the PB chamber of the brake cylinder is reduced. When the air pressure in the PB brake sub-chamber 151 is reduced to the main piston 120 falling to contact the supply piston 130, the air pressure in the PB chamber of the brake cylinder reaches the minimum. At this time, the brake holds the wheel, and the switching from release to parking is realized.

[0048] When the air pressure of the service brake circuit is reduced to the first preset value, it indicates that the service brake circuit is malfunctioning, at this time, the air pressure in the pop-up control sub-cavity 162 is reduced, the pop-up spring 173 acts on the pop-up slider 163, the pop-up slider 163 drives the main piston 120 to move upward to release the supply piston 130, the PB brake sub-cavity 151 and the exhaust passage 131 of the supply piston 130 are communicated, the PB cavity of the brake cylinder can be communicated through the first port 141, the PB brake sub-cavity 151 and the exhaust passage 131, the air in the PB cavity of the brake cylinder can be exhausted through the first port 141, the PB brake sub-cavity 151 and the exhaust passage 131, and the air pressure in the PB cavity of the brake cylinder is reduced. When the air pressure in the PB brake sub-cavity 151 is reduced to the main piston 120 falls to contact the supply piston 130, the air pressure in the PB cavity of the brake cylinder reaches the minimum, at this time, the brake holds the wheel, the brake implements self-braking, and the purpose of automatic parking is achieved. Through the pop-up function cavity 160, self-braking is realized when the brake circuit pressure is reduced to a certain degree, so that the vehicle can stop moving in time and the safety of the vehicle during driving is improved.

[0049] It can be understood that the first preset value can also be slightly greater than 40 PSI.

[0050] Embodiment two

[0051] In combination Figure 2 , the embodiment discloses a type II parking relay valve 100B, and the type II parking relay valve 100B of the embodiment is additionally provided with a mixed function cavity 190 based on the structure of the first embodiment, and the mixed function cavity 190 is located between the control cavity 150 and the pop-up function cavity 160. In the embodiment, the piston rod 121 of the main piston 120 penetrates through the mixed function cavity 190, the mixed function cavity 190 is provided with a proportional slider 193 sleeved on the piston rod 121 and a proportional spring 174 acting on the proportional slider 193, and the proportional slider 193 can drive the main piston 120 to move upward synchronously. The mixed function cavity 190 is divided into a proportional control sub-cavity 191 and a main brake sub-cavity 192 by the proportional slider 193, the proportional control sub-cavity 191 is provided with a sixth port 194 connected with a secondary service brake circuit, and the main brake sub-cavity 192 is provided with a seventh port 195 connected with a main brake circuit. When the maximum pressure of the main brake circuit is reduced to a second preset value, the proportional spring 174 drives the main piston 120 to move upward and release the supply piston 130 through the proportional slider 193, and the PB cavity of the brake cylinder is depressurized to balance with the supply pressure of the PB system through the exhaust passage 131 of the supply piston 130.

[0052] The type II parking relay valve 100B of the embodiment is mainly used for air braking of a self-powered vehicle, the air pressure of the service brake circuit includes the air pressure of the main service brake circuit and the air pressure of the secondary service brake circuit, and the second preset value is specifically 60 PSI.

[0053] When the maximum pressure of the main brake circuit is reduced to the second preset value, the pressure in the PB chamber of the brake cylinder is reduced to balance with the supply pressure of the PB system, so that the PB system can brake according to the pressure of the auxiliary brake circuit, so that the pressure of the auxiliary brake circuit meets the braking requirement. Further, when the maximum pressure of the main brake circuit is reduced to the second preset value, the air pressure in the main brake chamber 192 is reduced, the proportional spring 174 acts on the proportional slider 193 to move the proportional slider 193 upward, the proportional slider 193 drives the main piston 120 to move upward, the main piston 120 releases the supply piston 130, the PB brake chamber 151 and the exhaust passage 131 of the supply piston 130 are communicated, the PB chamber of the brake cylinder is communicated with the exhaust passage 131 through the first port 141 and the PB brake chamber 151, the air in the PB chamber of the brake cylinder can be exhausted through the first port 141, the PB brake chamber 151 and the exhaust passage 131, and the air pressure in the PB chamber of the brake cylinder is reduced. When the air pressure in the PB brake chamber 151 is reduced to the main piston 120 falls to contact the supply piston 130, the control pressure of the PB chamber of the brake cylinder balances with the supply pressure of the PB system, so that the air pressure of the PB system can meet the braking requirement of the brake cylinder, so that the brake can smoothly brake when needed.

[0054] In order to make the proportional slider 193 smoothly drive the main piston 120 to move upward to release the supply piston 130, the part of the piston rod 121 located in the mixed function chamber 190 is provided with a protruding ring part 124 which can be in contact with the proportional slider 193. In this embodiment, the proportional slider 193 is provided with a hole through which the piston rod 121 passes, and the outer diameter of the protruding ring part 124 is greater than the inner diameter of the hole in the proportional slider 193 through which the piston rod 121 passes.

[0055] The other structures of the second embodiment are the same as those of the first embodiment, which will not be described here.

[0056] It can be understood that the second preset value can also be slightly greater than 60 PSI.

[0057] Embodiment three

[0058] In combination Figure 3 , the present embodiment provides a parking brake system, which is used for air braking of a self-powered vehicle, and the parking brake system comprises the type II parking relay valve 100B in the second embodiment.

[0059] In this embodiment, the parking brake system comprises two electromagnetic valves MV1 and MV2, and the two electromagnetic valves MV1 and MV2 are each provided with two ports and two states. Both of the two electromagnetic valves MV1 and MV2 are in a closed state in a normal state, and only when the electromagnetic valves are activated, the two ports of the electromagnetic valves are communicated. Figure 3P1 represents the supply pressure of the PB system, P2 represents the pressure demand of the secondary service brake, P3 represents the pressure of the primary service brake circuit, and P4 represents the pressure of the secondary service brake circuit. The two electromagnetic valves, the type II parking relay valve 100B, and P2 are connected through the high selection valve SH1, and P3 and P4 are connected with the type II parking relay valve 100B through the high selection valve SH2, so as to facilitate the control of the air path flow state of the type II parking relay valve 100B according to the pressure demand.

[0060] When the vehicle is switched from the parking state to the release state, the battery valve MV1 is activated, and the supply pressure switches the high selection valve SH1 to the control side, so as to fill the PB control sub-cavity 152 in the type II parking relay valve 100B. The air pressure in the PB control sub-cavity 152 increases, the main piston 120 drives the supply piston 130 to move downward away from the valve housing 110, and the supply pressure of the PB system can be output to the PB cavity of the brake cylinder through the first port 141, the parking cavity 140, the communication channel 180, the PB brake sub-cavity 151, and the second port 153. When the pressures of the first port 141 and the second port 153 reach the balance, the supply piston 130 is reset under the action of the secondary spring 172, so that the supply piston 130 abuts against the valve housing 110, the communication channel 180 is closed by the supply piston 130, the PB system and the PB cavity of the brake cylinder are disconnected, and the switching from the parking to the release is realized.

[0061] When the vehicle is switched from the release state to the parking state, P2 is 0, the control volumes of the two electromagnetic valves MV1 and MV2 are connected, the electromagnetic valve MV2 is activated, the air in the PB control sub-cavity 152 is released, the air pressure in the PB control sub-cavity 152 decreases, the main piston 120 moves upward under the elastic force of the main spring 171, the main piston 120 releases the supply piston 130, the PB brake sub-cavity 151 and the exhaust channel 131 of the supply piston 130 are communicated, and the air in the PB cavity of the brake cylinder can be exhausted through the first port 141, the PB brake sub-cavity 151, and the exhaust channel 131. The air pressure in the PB cavity of the brake cylinder decreases. When the air pressure in the PB brake sub-cavity 151 decreases to the main piston 120 falling to contact the supply piston 130, the air pressure in the PB cavity of the brake cylinder reaches the minimum, at this time, the brake holds the wheel, and the switching from the release to the parking is realized.

[0062] When the parking brake system and the service brake system act on the brake at the same time, the pressure of the brake PB chamber is too large, which can cause the brake to burst. Based on this, the type II parking relay valve 100B of the embodiment further has a reverse combination function. Specifically, when the reverse combination function needs to be activated, the control quantity between the electromagnetic valve MV1, the electromagnetic valve MV2 and the high selection valve SH1 is the ambient pressure. After the driver steps on the service brake pedal, the pressure switches the high selection valve SH1 to the pressure demand side of the auxiliary service brake circuit, the air pressure in the PB control sub-chamber 152 increases, the main piston 120 drives the supply piston 130 to move downward away from the valve housing 110, and the supply pressure of the PB system can pass through the first port 141, the parking chamber 140, the communication channel 180, the PB brake sub-chamber 151 and the second port 153 to the PB chamber of the brake cylinder. When the pressure of the first port 141 and the second port 153 reaches equilibrium, the supply piston 130 is reset under the action of the auxiliary spring 172, the supply piston 130 is in contact with the valve housing 110, the communication channel 180 is closed by the supply piston 130, and the PB system and the PB chamber of the brake cylinder are disconnected. After the driver releases the brake pedal, the ambient pressure keeps the high selection valve SH1 on the pressure demand side of the auxiliary service brake circuit, the air pressure in the PB control sub-chamber 152 decreases, the main spring 171 pushes the main piston 120 upward, the main piston 120 releases the supply piston 130, and the air in the PB chamber of the brake cylinder is discharged from the exhaust channel 131, similar to switching from the release state to the parking state.

[0063] The other contents of the third embodiment are the same as those in the second embodiment, which will not be repeated here.

The type I parking relay valve 100A is arranged on the brake circuit of the trailer, and the type II parking relay valve 100B is arranged on the brake circuit of the vehicle. The brake circuit of the vehicle is the same as that in the third embodiment, which will not be repeated here.

[0066] In this embodiment, two solenoid valves MV3 and MV4 are provided on the brake circuit of the trailer, and the two solenoid valves MV3 and MV4 are each provided with two ports and two states. The two solenoid valves MV3 and MV4 are in a closed state in a normal state, and only when the solenoid valves are activated, the two ports of a single solenoid valve are communicated. P3 and P4 are connected with the type I parking relay valve 100A through the high selection valve SH3, so as to control the gas path flow state of the type I parking relay valve 100A according to the pressure requirement.
