[0048] In addition, it also includes a controller 11 and an emergency braking system 9. Specifically, a third normally closed valve 101, a fourth normally closed valve 102, a fifth normally closed valve 103, a sixth normally closed valve 104, a first normally closed valve 105, a second normally open valve 106, a first normally open valve 107 and a second normally closed valve 108 are combined to form a solenoid valve group 1, a first linear boost valve 21, a linear pressure reducing valve 22, a second linear boost valve 23, a third linear boost valve 24, a fourth linear boost valve 25 and a fifth linear boost valve 26 are combined to form a linear valve group 2, a stroke sensor 7, a first sensor 41, a second sensor 42, a third sensor The sensor 43, the third normally closed valve 101, the fourth normally closed valve 102, the fifth normally closed valve 103, the sixth normally closed valve 104, the first normally closed valve 105, the second normally open valve 106, the first normally open valve 107 and the second normally closed valve 108 of the solenoid valve group 1 and the first linear boost valve 21, the linear pressure reducing valve 22, the second linear boost valve 23, the third linear boost valve 24, the fourth linear boost valve 25 and the fifth linear boost valve 26 of the linear valve group 2 are all electrically connected to the controller 11; the third normally closed valve 101, the fourth normally closed valve 102, the fifth normally closed valve 103 and the sixth normally closed valve 104 are all pressure reducing valves.
[0049] The emergency braking system 9 is electrically connected to the controller 11 , and the emergency control system 9 is an existing ESP, emergency active braking or intelligent driving system.
[0050] The working principle of this device is: First, during normal braking, such as Figure 2 As shown, the electronic hydraulic braking mode includes conventional braking and active braking intervention.
[0051] During normal braking, the driver steps on the pedal 91, and the travel sensor 7 sends a braking signal to the controller 11. The controller 11 is powered on and the output pressure of the servo valve 10 is adjusted through the second linear booster valve 23, the third linear booster valve 24, the fourth linear booster valve 25 and the fifth linear booster valve 26. The oil pump 81 provides oil pressure from point S to point P to power the device. The first sensor 41 can keep the pressure of the accumulator 82 between the pressure Pa and Pb (Pb>Pa) by feeding back the signal to the controller 11.
[0052] The specific way in which the oil pump 81 supplies energy to the device is as follows: First, the hydraulic oil coming out of the second oil pot 37 passes through the first circuit, then enters the oil pump 81 through point S, and then enters point P to realize that the oil pump 81 supplies energy to the device.
[0053] The residual oil pressure in the second and third normally closed valves 101, the fourth normally closed valve 102, the fifth normally closed valve 103 and the sixth normally closed valve 104 enters the oil pump 81 from point S and then enters point S to supply energy to the device, thereby realizing the secondary utilization of the residual oil pressure to avoid waste.
[0054] The driver gets the pedal feeling from the feedback loop between the first chamber 31, the second chamber 32 and the third chamber 33 of the master cylinder 3 and the pedal simulator 5. The third sensor 43 and the stroke sensor 7 are redundant. At this time, the second normally closed valve 108 and the first normally closed valve 105 are electrically connected to the fluid, and the second normally open valve 106 and the first normally open valve 107 are electrically disconnected. At this time, the first chamber 31, the second chamber 32 and the third chamber 33 of the master cylinder 3 are all connected to the pedal simulator 5. Due to the difference in effective area between the front and rear of the second piston 35, the second piston 35 will not move to the left, that is, it will not change the volume of the first chamber. The movement of the first piston 34 will increase the volume of the third chamber 33 and reduce the volume of the first chamber 31 at the same time. However, due to the difference in area between the front and rear of the first piston 34, the first chamber 31 produces excess displacement, which is accommodated by the pedal simulator 5 and establishes feedback pressure, forming a pressure building loop.
[0055] Description of the brake circuit: The current regulating pressure of the first linear booster valve 21 and the linear pressure reducing valve 22 makes the pressure input to the servo valve 10 linearly, the servo output of the servo valve 10 opens, and the brake pressure enters the left rear wheel cylinder 61 and the right rear wheel cylinder 62 respectively through the second linear booster valve 23 and the third linear booster valve 24, and the brake pressure of the right front wheel cylinder 63 and the left front wheel cylinder 64 passes through the first normally closed valve 105 that has been electrically connected to the fluid and then is realized through the fourth linear booster valve 25 and the fifth linear booster valve 26 respectively.
[0056] The servo valve 10 is a two-position three-way slide valve. In the natural state, the slide valve is located at the right limit position under the action of the spring, and the second chamber 32 is connected to the second oil pot 37; when the power is on, the second chamber 32 is connected to the high pressure from the first linear boost valve 21 in a timely manner in a dynamic control process. The second linear boost valve 23, the third linear boost valve 24, the fourth linear boost valve 25, the fifth linear boost valve 26, the third normally closed valve 101, the fourth normally closed valve 102, the fifth normally closed valve 103, and the sixth normally closed valve 104 can distribute the braking force of a single wheel cylinder to realize functions such as ESP and vehicle electronic stability system.
[0057] When active braking acts alone, the controller 11 receives the command and directly operates the brake circuit, and the pedal will not move, that is, the pressure-building circuit will become normal pressure. At this time, the second normally closed valve 108 and the first normally closed valve 105 are powered on and fluid is passed, and the first normally open valve 107 and the second normally open valve 106 are powered on and closed. The current regulating pressure of the first linear booster valve 21 and the linear pressure reducing valve 22 makes the pressure linearly input to the second chamber 32, and the servo output of the servo valve 10 is opened, and the brake pressure enters the left rear wheel cylinder 61 and the right rear wheel cylinder 62 respectively through the second linear booster valve 23 and the third linear booster valve 24, and the brake pressure of the right front wheel cylinder 63 and the left front wheel cylinder 64 passes through the first normally closed valve 105 which has been powered on and fluid is respectively realized through the fourth linear booster valve 25 and the fifth linear booster valve 26. The third normally closed valve 101, the fourth normally closed valve 102, the fifth normally closed valve 103 and the sixth normally closed valve 104 can release the excess brake pressure to realize functions such as ESP.
[0058] It should be noted here that active braking can, but is not limited to, working synchronously with conventional braking.
[0059] Second, when the system loses power, the redundant braking of the backup energy storage is activated.
[0060] like Figure 3 As shown, at this time, the third normally closed valve 101, the fourth normally closed valve 102, the fifth normally closed valve 103, the sixth normally closed valve 104, the first normally closed valve 105, the second normally open valve 106, the first normally open valve 107, the second normally closed valve 108, the first linear boost valve 21, the linear pressure reducing valve 22, the second linear boost valve 23, the third linear boost valve 24, the fourth linear boost valve 25 and the fifth linear boost valve 26 are all in a natural state. When the driver performs conventional braking, the first chamber 31 builds pressure to push the second piston 35, and the second piston 35 mechanically triggers the servo valve 10, and the servo valve 10 outputs a redundant pressure source. The first branch of the brake pressure directly provides braking for the left rear wheel cylinder 61 and the right rear wheel cylinder 62. The second branch is transmitted to the third chamber 33 through the second normally open valve 106 to provide assistance to the first piston 34; the volume of the third chamber 33 changes, and the pressure is further transmitted to the braking force of the right front wheel cylinder 63 and the left front wheel cylinder 64 through the first normally open valve 107. The driver only needs to provide a small foot force to achieve a large braking force.
[0061] Here, if the brake circuits of the right front wheel cylinder 63 and the left front wheel cylinder 64 fail, the first piston 34 is mechanically connected to the second piston 35, and the rear wheel can still achieve normal braking, entering the second working condition of redundant braking, and the first chamber 31 to the front wheel becomes normal pressure, which will not be described in detail here.
[0062] Third, the system loses power, the redundant braking circuit fails, and the mechanical braking mode is reached.
[0063] like Figure 4 As shown, at this time, the third normally closed valve 101, the fourth normally closed valve 102, the fifth normally closed valve 103, the sixth normally closed valve 104, the first normally closed valve 105, the second normally open valve 106, the first normally open valve 107, the second normally closed valve 108, the first linear boost valve 21, the linear pressure reducing valve 22, the second linear boost valve 23, the third linear boost valve 24, the fourth linear boost valve 25 and the fifth linear boost valve 26 are all in a natural state. When the driver performs conventional braking, the pressure in the first chamber 31 builds up and pushes the second piston 35 to the limit position, the volume of the first chamber 31 changes, and the pressure is transmitted to the braking force of the right front wheel cylinder 63 and the left front wheel cylinder 64 through the first normally open valve 107, completing the mechanical braking.
[0064] In summary, the present invention has the following advantages: First, the present invention does not have a large reduction ratio mechanism, the system mechanical inertia is smaller, and the response speed is faster.
[0065] Second, the oil pump 81 and the accumulator 82 of the present invention are both hydraulic energy sources and can work independently and serve as backup for each other.
[0066] Third, the electrical system of this solution is relatively simple in structure, has high reliability and low cost.
[0067] Fourth, the displacement of this solution is not limited by the piston displacement and is more suitable for systems with large liquid requirements.
[0068] Fifth, this solution uses one oil pump 81 to solve the problem of high-frequency pressure regulation and pressure reduction, and has a simple structure and low cost.
[0069] Sixth, braking operation under various working conditions is achieved by setting the third normally closed valve 101, the fourth normally closed valve 102, the fifth normally closed valve 103, the sixth normally closed valve 104, the first normally closed valve 105, the second normally open valve 106, the first normally open valve 107, the second normally closed valve 108, the first linear boost valve 21, the linear pressure reducing valve 22, the second linear boost valve 23, the third linear boost valve 24, the fourth linear boost valve 25 and the fifth linear boost valve 26.
[0070] Seventh, the front and rear hydraulic balance is achieved through the variable diameter setting of the second piston 35 of the master cylinder 3, and the pressure buildup and brake circuit decoupling in the wire control braking mode are realized. The volume displacement / intake difference caused by the front and rear effective area difference of the first piston 34 is used to enter the pedal simulator 5 to build pressure.
[0071] Eighth, the brake fluid of the brake circuit during active braking comes from the second oil tank, the brake fluid of the pressure-building circuit comes from the first chamber, and the corresponding redundant brake and mechanical brake fluid storages back up each other.
[0072] Ninth, the accumulator 82 cooperates with the large-flux servo valve 10 to quickly respond to the braking requirements of large-displacement wheel cylinders, and the upper limit of the braking vehicle model is increased accordingly.
[0073] Tenth, in the redundant braking mode, the accumulator 82 provides sufficient brake fluid pressure, which not only meets the braking efficiency but also helps to ensure the braking performance and driving feel.
