Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of clutch boosters, and particularly to an electronically controlled clutch booster with a shift control valve. Background Art

[0002] To reduce the labor intensity of drivers in operating the clutch and ensure driving safety, clutch boosters are currently commonly used in small and medium-sized automobiles. An automotive clutch booster is a key component to ensure vehicle safety. When the clutch pedal is depressed, the hydraulic oil pressed out from the clutch master cylinder enters the cylinder of the booster through a oil pipe, and the vehicle's compressed air source is used to provide assistance for the clutch. However, the clutch control method in the prior art is single and cannot achieve rapid and precise separation and engagement, thus there are certain potential safety hazards.

[0003] Currently, commercial vehicle clutch boosters mainly act through the combined action of two media, brake fluid and compressed air: by stepping on the clutch pedal, the brake fluid in the clutch master cylinder is pushed into the clutch booster, causing the brake fluid to generate hydraulic pressure, and then the hydraulic pressure will open the valve of the clutch booster, and the compressed air enters the clutch booster through the valve to assist in separating the clutch. This type of clutch booster with this working method generally has a high failure rate in the market, and seriously affects the driving comfort of the driver. The product is difficult to repair, and the brake fluid used will also cause environmental pollution.

[0004] Currently, in the prior patented technology, the invention patent with the application number (2019206985895) discloses an automotive electronically controlled automatic clutch booster device. In the structure of this patent, through driving methods such as motors or electromagnets, the displacement and speed of clutch separation and engagement are controlled in real time, greatly improving the automatic control accuracy and response speed. However, there are still defects that it cannot maintain the open or closed state for a long time, thus greatly reducing the coil life.

[0005] Therefore, how to provide an electronically controlled clutch booster with a shift control valve that has a simpler and more reasonable structural design, can better control the entry or discharge of compressed air into or out of the clutch booster cylinder, and can better achieve the automatic separation and engagement of the clutch has become a technical problem to be solved by those skilled in the art. Summary of the Invention

[0006] In view of the above-mentioned defects of the prior art, the technical problem to be solved by the present invention is how to provide an electronically controlled clutch booster with a shift control valve that has a simpler and more reasonable structural design, can better control the entry or discharge of compressed air into or out of the clutch booster cylinder, and can better achieve the automatic separation and engagement of the clutch.

[0007] To achieve the above object, the present invention provides an electronically controlled clutch booster with a shift control valve, including a booster body. The booster body includes a cylinder block at the front end. A piston is arranged in the cylinder block. A push rod is connected to the piston, and the distal end of the push rod passes through a relief hole provided at the front end of the cylinder block to the outside and forms an operating end. The piston divides the interior of the cylinder block into a front cavity in front of the piston and a rear cavity behind the piston. An air inlet passage is provided on the cylinder block and communicates with the front cavity. An air inlet hole and a return air hole are also provided on the cylinder block and each communicates with the rear cavity. The booster body further includes a housing at the rear end, and the inner cavity of the housing communicates with the air inlet passage. A rear air inlet passage and a rear return air passage are provided on the housing. The front ends of the rear air inlet passage and the rear return air passage respectively communicate with the air inlet hole and the return air hole. An air inlet control solenoid valve and a return air control solenoid valve are respectively provided corresponding to the rear air inlet passage and the rear return air passage. An air inlet, an exhaust port, an air outlet and a return air discharge port are provided on the housing. The rear end of the rear return air passage communicates with the return air discharge port. A two-way three-way valve is also provided on the housing, and the two control positions of the two-way three-way valve can respectively connect the air inlet and the rear air inlet passage and connect the air inlet and the air outlet.

[0008] Further, an exhaust valve assembly is installed on the exhaust port.

[0009] In this way, when the above electronically controlled clutch booster with a shift control valve is working, gas enters from the air inlet. The two control positions of the two-way three-way valve provided on the housing can respectively connect the air inlet and the rear air inlet passage and connect the air inlet and the air outlet. When the two-way three-way valve is in one of the control positions, the air inlet communicates with the air outlet, and the gas is directly discharged to the outside, and no action is performed at this time. When the two-way three-way valve is in the other control position, the air inlet communicates with the rear air inlet passage on the housing. At this time, the air inlet control solenoid valve is opened, so that the gas can enter the rear cavity and push the piston forward. The piston drives the push rod to move forward and completes the work. At the same time, the gas in the front cavity sequentially passes through the air inlet passage and the return air hole, enters the inner cavity of the housing, and can be discharged from the exhaust port on the housing. After that, the air inlet control solenoid valve is closed, the return air control solenoid valve is opened, the air inlet continues to intake air and enters the inner part of the housing cavity. The gas enters through the air inlet hole and passes through the air inlet passage into the front cavity, and pushes the piston backward. The piston drives the push rod to move backward. At the same time, the gas in the rear cavity passes through the return air hole and the rear return air passage and is discharged to the outside from the return air discharge port.

[0010] The above structure has the characteristics of being able to automatically control the intake or discharge of compressed air into the clutch booster cylinder without using brake fluid and the driver operating the clutch pedal, so as to realize the automatic separation and engagement of the clutch.

[0011] Further, an exhaust nozzle is also installed on the housing, and the intake and exhaust ends of the exhaust nozzle are communicated with the rear air return passage. This makes it more convenient for exhaust.

And by providing a placement convex rod inside the housing, after the piston rod extends backward and passes through the through hole at the rear end of the cylinder block, it then extends into and cooperates with the placement hole provided on the placement convex rod, so that the piston rod cooperates with the holes on the cylinder block and the housing, improving the movement accuracy of the piston rod and better avoiding its displacement in the radial direction, so as to more accurately obtain its axial movement position and distance.

The terms "first", "second", "third", etc. are only used for descriptive purposes and cannot be construed as indicating or implying relative importance.

[0051] Such as Figure 1 and Figure 14As shown in the figure, an electronically controlled clutch booster with a shift control valve includes a booster body. The booster body includes a cylinder block 1 at the front end. A piston 2 is arranged inside the cylinder block. A push rod 3 is connected to the piston, and the distal end of the push rod passes through a relief hole in the front end of the cylinder block to the outside and forms an operating end. The piston divides the interior of the cylinder block into a front cavity 4 on the front side of the piston and a rear cavity 5 on the rear side of the piston. An air inlet passage 6 is provided on the cylinder block and is communicated with the front cavity. An air inlet hole 7 and a return air hole 8 are also provided on the cylinder block and are respectively communicated with the rear cavity. The booster body further includes a housing 9 at the rear end, and the inner cavity of the housing is communicated with the air inlet passage. A rear air inlet passage and a rear return air passage are provided on the housing. The front ends of the rear air inlet passage and the rear return air passage are respectively communicated with the air inlet hole and the return air hole. An air inlet control solenoid valve 10 and a return air control solenoid valve 11 are respectively provided corresponding to the rear air inlet passage and the rear return air passage. An air inlet 12, an exhaust port 13, an air outlet 14 and a return air discharge port 15 are provided on the housing. The rear end of the rear return air passage is communicated with the return air discharge port. A two-position three-way valve 16 is also provided on the housing, and the two control positions of the two-position three-way valve can respectively communicate the air inlet and the rear air inlet passage and communicate the air inlet and the air outlet.

[0052] Further, an exhaust valve assembly is installed on the exhaust port.

[0053] In this way, when the above-mentioned electronically controlled clutch booster with a shift control valve works, gas enters from the air inlet, and the two control positions of the two-position three-way valve provided on the housing can respectively communicate the air inlet and the rear air inlet passage and communicate the air inlet and the air outlet. When the two-position three-way valve is in one of the control positions, the air inlet is communicated with the air outlet, and the gas is directly discharged to the outside, and no action is performed at this time. When the two-position three-way valve is in the other control position, the air inlet is communicated with the rear air inlet passage on the housing. At this time, the air inlet control solenoid valve is opened, so that the gas can enter the rear cavity and push the piston forward. The piston drives the push rod to move forward and completes the work. At the same time, the gas in the front cavity enters the inner cavity of the housing after passing through the air inlet passage and the return air hole in sequence, and can be discharged from the exhaust port on the housing. Then, the air inlet control solenoid valve is closed, the return air control solenoid valve is opened, the air inlet continues to intake air and enters the inner part of the housing cavity. The gas enters through the air inlet hole and passes through the air inlet passage into the front cavity, and pushes the piston backward. The piston drives the push rod to move backward. At the same time, the gas in the rear cavity passes through the return air hole and the rear return air passage and is discharged to the outside from the return air discharge port.

[0054] The above structure has the characteristics that it can automatically control the compressed air to enter or discharge the clutch booster cylinder without using brake fluid and the driver operating the clutch pedal, so as to realize the automatic separation and engagement of the clutch.

[0055] Furthermore, an exhaust nozzle 17 is also installed on the housing, and the intake and exhaust ends of the exhaust nozzle communicate with the rear air return passage. This makes it more convenient to exhaust air.

[0058] In this specific embodiment, three connection holes are arranged in a triangular distribution on the rear end face inside the cylinder block, connection screws 21 are respectively arranged in the connection holes, and the threaded ends of the connection screws respectively pass through the connection holes and are respectively connected and arranged in threaded holes provided on the inner side surface of the housing; and a sealing ring is provided inside the screw head of the connection screw.

[0059] In this way, it is more convenient to connect and fix the housing and the cylinder block. The two are independent of each other and can be processed and manufactured separately and then assembled, and the structural design is more reasonable.

[0060] In this specific embodiment, the piston includes a piston body 22 at the front end and a piston rod 23 connected to the rear end of the piston body; a spiral spring 24 is sleeved on the piston rod, and both ends of the spiral spring respectively abut and support on the rear end of the piston body and the rear end inside the cylinder block; and the piston rod extends backward and passes through a through hole provided at the rear end of the cylinder block to the outside. There is a rearwardly protruding placement convex rod 25 inside the housing. The placement convex rod is provided with a placement hole designed as a blind hole structure, and the piston rod extends into the placement hole after passing through the through hole provided at the rear end of the cylinder block; a sealing ring is provided between the placement hole and the rear end face of the cylinder block; an induction magnet 26 is provided on the piston rod, and a Hall sensor 27 is provided on the housing.

And by providing a placement convex rod inside the housing, after the piston rod extends backward and passes through the through hole at the rear end of the cylinder block, it then extends into and fits into the placement hole provided on the placement convex rod, so that the piston rod is matched with the holes on the cylinder block and the housing, improving the moving accuracy of the piston rod and better avoiding its displacement in the radial direction, so as to more accurately obtain its axial moving position and distance.

The sealing ring is provided between the outer end face of the mounting cylinder and the shell; and a mounting groove and a sealing ring are provided on the inner circumferential wall of the inner end of the mounting cylinder.

[0063] In this way, by integrally forming the mounting tube on the cylinder body, the sealing between the piston rod and the cylinder body is more convenient, and the housing is more convenient to be mounted on the cylinder body.

[0064] In this specific embodiment, a mounting hole is provided on the outer end surface of the piston rod, and the induction magnet includes a first magnet 29, a permanent magnet 30 and a second magnet 31 inserted and installed in the mounting hole from the inside to the outside; a retaining ring with an overall annular structure is also provided at the outer end of the mounting hole, and the retaining ring is supported on the outer end of the second magnet to prevent the second magnet from escaping from the outer end of the mounting hole.

[0065] In this way, the installation and arrangement of the induction magnet is more convenient. Moreover, the induction magnet is composed of the first magnetic steel, the permanent magnet and the second magnetic steel, which has the advantage of reducing costs.

Furthermore, by providing a pad receiving hole in the middle of the front end surface of the piston body and installing a corresponding pad, the push rod abuts against the concave spherical surface of the pad's outer surface, increasing the mating area and better protecting the piston body.

[0068] In this specific embodiment, two connecting posts 34 are provided on the outer side of one end of the housing adjacent to the cylinder body, and the Hall sensor is fixed to the two connecting posts provided in pairs by screw connection.

[0071] In this way, by providing a sealing ring and a Y-shaped sealing ring on the piston body, the sealing between the piston body and the cylinder block becomes more reliable.

[0072] In this specific embodiment, the cylinder block includes a cylinder block housing 37 with an overall cylindrical structure design and an open front end. A cylinder block cover 38 is fixedly connected to the open end of the cylinder block housing. The open end of the cylinder block housing has a connecting disk 39 formed by bending vertically outward in a circle. The cylinder block cover is detachably connected and fixed to the connecting disk by fixing screws. Mounting connection holes 40 are also provided at the four corner positions of the cylinder block cover, and the mounting connection holes penetrate through the connecting disk.

[0073] In this way, the structural design of the cylinder block is simpler and more reasonable, and it is more convenient for processing and manufacturing.

[0078] In this specific embodiment, the exhaust port is provided at the center position of one side surface of the housing; the intake port, the outlet port, and the two-way three-way valve are all provided on the distal end surface of the housing.

[0079] In this way, the arrangement of the exhaust port, the intake port, the outlet port, and the two-way three-way valve is more reasonable.

After the electromagnetic valve core rod is powered on, the valve rod can overcome the thrust of the spring thrust structure and move towards the electromagnetic valve core rod, so that the outer end of the valve rod seals the inner end of the communication hole.

[0081] In this way, when the two-position three-way valve works, after the electromagnetic valve core rod is powered on, the valve rod can overcome the thrust of the spring thrust structure and move towards the electromagnetic valve core rod, so that the outer end of the valve rod seals the inner end of the communication hole. At this time, the air inlet enters and passes through the connection hole and then is discharged from the air outlet.
