Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the field of hydraulically controlled brake valves, in particular to a hydraulically controlled brake valve. Background Art

[0002] In the existing brake valve, increasing the flow rate of the brake oil port can speed up the brake action and make the brake reaction faster. At present, in order to increase the flow rate, the diameter of the valve core is usually increased. As the diameter of the valve core increases, its end surface area increases, and the feedback force under the same pressure will also increase. Excessive feedback force will cause excessive resistance when the driver steps on the pedal, which is easy to cause fatigue in the driver's legs. Therefore, the valve core diameter in the existing technology cannot be further increased to increase the flow rate, and thus the braking speed cannot be further increased, and the safety during driving cannot be further improved.

[0026] Furthermore, the main valve core 9 is formed with a third through hole 91 , and the third through hole 91 is communicated with the main valve core inner cavity 92 and the first through hole 61 respectively.

[0027] Furthermore, an annular groove 90 is formed on the outer side of the main valve core 9, and the annular groove 90 connects the brake oil port B with the oil tank oil port T and the pressure oil port P respectively through axial movement.

[0028] Furthermore, a third spring 7 is included, and the third spring 7 is located in the inner cavity 92 of the main valve core, and two ends of the third spring 7 are in contact with the inner wall of the main valve core 9 and the feedback valve core 8 respectively.

[0029] Furthermore, it also includes a second spring 4, the two ends of which are in contact with the valve stem 2 and the valve sleeve 6 respectively; it also includes a spring seat 5, the two ends of the first spring 3 are in contact with the valve stem 2 and the spring seat 5 respectively, and the end of the spring seat 5 away from the first spring 3 is movably connected to the main valve core 9.

[0030] Preferably, a spherical protrusion 93 is formed at the end of the main valve core 9, and the spherical protrusion 93 is inserted into the groove of the spring seat 5. The main valve core 9 can rotate around the spherical protrusion 93, which can reduce the precision requirements for the spring seat 5 and the main valve core 9.

[0032] Furthermore, it also includes a locking ring 10 and a driving mechanism, the portion of the valve stem 2 extending out of the inner cavity is fixedly and detachably connected to the locking ring 10, the locking ring 10 is adjustable in position along the axial direction of the valve stem 2, and the driving mechanism drives the locking ring 10 to move up and down. Preferably, the locking ring 10 is threadedly connected to the valve stem 2 or the locking ring 10 is clamped and fixed to the valve stem 2.

[0033] Preferably, the driving mechanism includes a base 20, a boot sleeve 21, a pressure plate 22, a first screw 23, a pedal 24 and a rotating block 25.

[0034] More preferably, the driving mechanism further comprises a second screw 26, the axial position of the second screw 26 relative to the rotating block 25 is adjustable, and the second screw 26 contacts the rotating block 25. By adjusting the axial position of the second screw 26, the angle of the pedal 24 can be adjusted to adapt to the feet of different drivers.

[0035] Furthermore, the valve body 1 is also formed with a control oil port PX, and a fifth cavity 19 is formed between the step surface of the valve stem 2 and the valve body 1 , and the fifth cavity 19 is communicated with the control oil port PX.

[0036] Furthermore, two inner chambers are formed in the valve body 1, and each inner chamber is slidably connected to a different valve stem 2. The brake oil ports B corresponding to the two parallel inner chambers are respectively connected to the brakes of the front axle and the brakes of the rear axle, the tank oil ports T and the pressure oil ports P corresponding to the two parallel inner chambers can be connected to the same oil tank and hydraulic source, and the control oil ports PX corresponding to the two parallel inner chambers can be respectively connected to two different oil cylinders or the same oil cylinder.

[0037] Working principle: The brake oil port B is connected to the brake, the tank oil port T is connected to the oil tank, the pressure oil port P is connected to the hydraulic source, and the control oil port PX is connected to the hydraulic control oil circuit.

[0038] When not in braking state, Figure 3 As shown, there is a gap between the main valve core 9 and the upper end of the valve sleeve 6, and the brake oil port B is connected to the oil tank oil port T. At this time, the brake is not in action.

[0039] When braking, the valve stem 2 moves downward, compressing the first spring 3 and driving the main valve core 9 to move downward. The gap between the main valve core 9 and the upper end of the valve sleeve 6 disappears, and the brake oil port B is disconnected from the oil tank oil port T. At this time, the annular groove 90 moves downward to connect the first through hole 61 and the second through hole 62 that were originally disconnected. The hydraulic oil enters the brake from the pressure oil port P through the third chamber 15, the second through hole 62, the annular groove 90, the first through hole 61, the second chamber 14 and the brake oil port B in sequence, driving the brake to brake the vehicle.

[0040] There are two ways to drive the valve stem 2 to move downward. One is that the driver steps on the pedal 24, which causes the first screw 23 to drive the pressure plate 22 to move downward. The pressure plate 22 contacts the locking ring 10 and drives the valve stem 2 to move downward. The other is that hydraulic oil is introduced into the fifth chamber 19 from the control oil port PX. The hydraulic oil acts on the step surface of the valve stem 2 to drive the valve stem 2 to move downward. The fifth chamber 19 is located between the first seal 17 and the second seal 18. The first seal 17 and the second seal 18 are used to seal the valve stem 2 and the valve body 1.

[0041] During the braking process, the main valve core cavity 92, which was originally connected to the oil tank port T, is connected to the pressure oil port P. The hydraulic oil enters the upper part of the feedback valve core 8 from the third through hole 91, and acts on the inner wall of the upper end of the main valve core cavity 92, giving the main valve core 9 an upward feedback force. The feedback force is transmitted upward to the valve stem 2, and then to the pedal 24, and the feedback force gradually increases with the stepping amplitude of the pedal 24.

[0042] The hydraulic oil acts on the inner wall of the upper end of the main valve core cavity 92, and the action area is smaller than the diameter of the main valve core 9. Under the same pressure, the feedback force is reduced, so that the diameter of the main valve core 9 can be further increased. As the diameter of the main valve core 9 increases, the volume of the annular groove 90 with the same radial depth increases, so that the flow rate output from the pressure oil port P to the brake oil port B per unit time increases, the action speed of the brake is improved, and the braking speed is accelerated. At the same time, the feedback force is disconnected from the diameter of the main valve core 9, so that the feedback force can be directly changed by increasing or decreasing the inner cavity of the main valve core cavity 92.

[0043] When the brake is stopped, the downward force on the main valve core 9 disappears, and the feedback force and the third spring 7 jointly drive the main valve core 9 to rise and reset; at the same time, the second spring 4 drives the valve stem 2 to reset upward. As the main valve core 9 moves upward, a gap is generated between the main valve core 9 and the upper end of the valve sleeve 6, and the first through hole 61 is disconnected from the second through hole 62. At this time, the third through hole 91 is connected to the oil tank port T, and the feedback force disappears.

[0044] When adjusting the output pressure of the brake oil port B, it can be achieved by replacing the first spring 3 with different stiffness coefficients and changing the axial position of the locking ring 10. Therefore, the brake oil ports B corresponding to the two inner cavities can output different pressures by replacing different first springs 3 and changing the axial position of the locking ring 10, so that the two corresponding brakes produce different braking effects.

[0045] It should be noted that the valve body 1 includes an outer shell 11 and a bottom plate 12, and the bottom of the outer shell 11 is fixedly connected to the bottom plate 12. The bottom of the valve sleeve 6 contacts the bottom plate 12, and the cavity below the valve sleeve inner cavity 63 in the valve sleeve 6 is connected to the oil port T of the oil tank.

[0046] The present invention is described above by way of examples, but the present invention is not limited to the above specific embodiments, and any changes or modifications made based on the present invention belong to the scope of protection claimed by the present invention.
