Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of pneumatic brake testing, and in particular to a pneumatic brake testing auxiliary device, a testing system and a testing method. Background Art

[0002] When conducting partial brake pedal braking tests or constant-pressure braking tests on commercial vehicles using pneumatic brake systems, the air pressure must be controlled to a specific value and maintained stable, ensuring that the same pressure is maintained over multiple different braking tests. Relying on the driver's foot to control the brake pedal is difficult to achieve, and the use of a brake pedal travel limiter is often required. However, with a travel limiter, the brake pedal cannot be fully depressed in an emergency, which can have a certain impact on driving safety.

[0003] For example, the prior art CN113358374A is primarily used for trailer testing. When the device is switched to the test circuit, the brake pedal cannot control the trailer's brakes, which has a certain impact on driving safety. Another example is the prior art CN215338910U brake pedal travel limiter, which can control pedal travel. However, when this device is used, the brake pedal cannot be fully depressed in an emergency, which has a certain impact on driving safety.

[0004] In summary, the existing pneumatic brake test has the technical problem of not being able to take into account both the quantitative control of air pressure and the safety of vehicle braking. Summary of the Invention

[0048] In this embodiment, the second two-position three-way reversing valve 4 is located on the first pipeline to control the connection and closing of the first pipeline. Similarly, the third two-position three-way reversing valve 8 is located on the second pipeline to control the connection and closing of the second pipeline.

[0049] In some embodiments of the present application, a first three-position three-way reversing valve 9 and a third or gate-type shuttle valve 10 are further included, and the first port, second port, and third port of the first three-position three-way reversing valve 9 are respectively connected to the first end of the third or gate-type shuttle valve 10, the outlet of the second two-position three-way reversing valve 4, and the outlet of the third two-position three-way reversing valve 8.

[0055] In some embodiments of the present application, a fifth two-position three-way reversing valve 12 is further included, the inlet of the fifth two-position three-way reversing valve 12 is connected to the outlet of the third two-position three-way reversing valve 8, and the outlet is connected to the first end of the second or gate-type shuttle valve 11.

[0056] In this embodiment, the fifth two-position three-way reversing valve 12 is located on the fifth branch to control the connection and closing of the fifth branch.

[0057] In this embodiment, the present invention connects a first or gate-type shuttle valve 6, a second or gate-type shuttle valve 11, a third or gate-type shuttle valve 10, and a fourth or gate-type shuttle valve 13 in series to the four brake chamber pipelines of a test vehicle. In non-emergency situations, when the driver does not press the brake pedal, the driver's required air pressure is zero, and the air pressure in the pipelines of each air chamber is zero.

[0060] The brake circuit includes an air compressor, a dryer, four-way valves, a test vehicle air reservoir, a brake valve, and a relay valve. The test vehicle air reservoir includes a front air reservoir and a rear air reservoir. The air compressor is the heart of the vehicle's braking system, responsible for providing the necessary compressed air for the brake system. The dryer removes moisture and impurities from the compressed air to ensure the proper functioning of the brake system. The four-way valves are directional control valves used to control the flow of compressed air within the brake system. The front and rear air reservoirs store compressed air, providing a stable air pressure source for the front and rear brake systems, respectively. The brake valve controls the brake air pressure, adjusting the braking force based on the driver's brake pedal travel. The driver activates the brake valve by depressing the brake pedal, slowing or stopping the vehicle. The relay valve helps smoothly regulate air pressure in the brake system, providing additional braking force, especially during emergency braking. In this embodiment, the first or gate-type shuttle valve 6, the second or gate-type shuttle valve 11, the third or gate-type shuttle valve 10, and the fourth or gate-type shuttle valve 13 are all connected to the relay valve. When compressed air enters the brake chamber, it causes the brake shoe to separate from or contact the brake drum (or brake disc), thereby applying or releasing the brake.

[0061] In a third aspect, the present application further provides a pneumatic brake test method, which uses the pneumatic brake test system described in the second aspect, comprising the following steps:

[0065] When the air pressure of the brake line is greater than the air pressure of the first pressure regulating valve 3 or the second pressure regulating valve 7 , the first or gate-type shuttle valve 6 or the second or gate-type shuttle valve 11 performs an action according to the air pressure of the brake line.

[0066] In some embodiments of the present application, the test method further comprises:

[0070] The third branch and the fifth branch are connected, the fourth branch and the sixth branch are closed, and a rear circuit separate braking test is performed.
