[0060] In addition, it also includes a controller 11 and an emergency braking system 9. Specifically, 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 are combined to form a solenoid valve group 1, 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 combined to form a linear valve group 2, the stroke sensor 7, the first sensor 41, the second sensor 42, the 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.

[0061] The emergency braking system 9 is electrically connected to the controller 11 . The emergency control system 9 is an existing ESP, emergency active braking or intelligent driving system.

[0062] The working principle of this device is:

[0063] First, during normal braking, such as Figure 2 As shown, the electronic hydraulic braking mode includes conventional braking and active braking intervention.

[0064] 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 adjusts the output pressure of the servo valve 10 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 energize the device. The first sensor 41 can maintain the pressure in the accumulator 82 between Pa and Pb (Pb>Pa) by feeding back a signal to the controller 11.

[0065] The specific way in which the oil pump 81 supplies energy to the device is as follows:

[0066] First, the hydraulic oil coming out of the second oil pot 37 passes through the first circuit and 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.

[0067] The residual oil pressure in the second, third, fourth, fifth, and sixth normally closed valves 101, 102, 103, and 104 enters the oil pump 81 from point S and then enters the device to supply energy, realizing the secondary utilization of the residual oil pressure to avoid waste.

[0068] The driver obtains the pedal feel of the loop feedback of 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 electrified to allow fluid to pass through, and the second normally open valve 106 and the first normally open valve 107 are electrified to cut off the fluid. 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 effective area difference before and after the second piston 35, the second piston 35 will not move to the left, that is, the volume of the first chamber will not change. The movement of the first piston 34 will increase the volume of the third chamber 33 and at the same time decrease the volume of the first chamber 31. However, due to the area difference before and after the first piston 34, the first chamber 31 generates an excess displacement, and this part of the displacement is accommodated by the pedal simulator 5 and a feedback pressure is established to form a pressure building loop.

[0069] Brake circuit description: The current regulating pressures of the first linear pressure increasing valve 21 and the linear pressure reducing valve 22 linearly give a pressure input to the servo valve 10. The servo valve 10 servo outputs to open, and the braking pressure enters the left rear wheel cylinder 61 and the right rear wheel cylinder 62 through the second linear pressure increasing valve 23 and the third linear pressure increasing valve 24 respectively. The braking pressures of the right front wheel cylinder 63 and the left front wheel cylinder 64 are realized through the fourth linear pressure increasing valve 25 and the fifth linear pressure increasing valve 26 after passing through the first normally closed valve 105 that has been electrified to allow fluid to pass through.

[0070] The servo valve 10 is a two-position three-way spool valve. In the natural state, the spool is located at the right limit under the action of the spring. At this time, the second chamber 32 is connected to the second oil pot 37; during the electrified pressure regulation, the second chamber 32 is dynamically regulated to be connected to the high pressure from the first linear pressure increasing valve 21 in a timely manner. The second linear pressure increasing valve 23, the third linear pressure increasing valve 24, the fourth linear pressure increasing valve 25, the fifth linear pressure increasing valve 26, and 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 perform the braking force distribution of a single wheel cylinder to realize functions such as ESP and vehicle electronic stability system.

[0071] When the active braking acts alone, the controller 11 receives an instruction and directly operates the braking circuit. 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 energized to allow fluid passage, and the first normally - open valve 107 and the second normally - open valve 106 are energized to close. The current - regulating pressures of the first linear pressure - increasing valve 21 and the linear pressure - reducing valve 22 linearly give pressure input to the second chamber 32. The servo valve 10 servo - outputs to open, and the braking pressure enters the left rear wheel cylinder 61 and the right rear wheel cylinder 62 respectively through the second linear pressure - increasing valve 23 and the third linear pressure - increasing valve 24. The braking pressures of the right front wheel cylinder 63 and the left front wheel cylinder 64 are realized through the fourth linear pressure - increasing valve 25 and the fifth linear pressure - increasing valve 26 respectively after passing through the already - energized - to - allow - fluid - passage first normally - closed valve 105. 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 over - braking pressure to realize functions such as ESP.

[0072] It should be noted here that the active braking can work synchronously with the conventional braking, but is not limited to this.

[0073] Second, when the system loses power and starts redundant braking with the backup energy storage.

[0074] As Figure 3 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 pressure - increasing valve 21, the linear pressure - reducing valve 22, the second linear pressure - increasing valve 23, the third linear pressure - increasing valve 24, the fourth linear pressure - increasing valve 25 and the fifth linear pressure - increasing valve 26 are all in their natural states. 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. The servo valve 10 outputs a redundant pressure source. The first branch of the braking pressure directly provides braking for the left rear wheel cylinder 61 and the right rear wheel cylinder 62. The second branch passes through the second normally - open valve 106 and is transmitted to the third chamber 33 to provide assistance for the first piston 34; the volume of the third chamber 33 changes, and the pressure is further transmitted to the braking forces of the right front wheel cylinder 63 and the left front wheel cylinder 64 through the first normally - open valve 107. This enables the driver to achieve a large braking force with only a small foot force.

[0075] If the braking circuits of the right front wheel cylinder 63 and the left front wheel cylinder 64 fail here. The second piston 35 is mechanically connected to the first piston 34, and the rear wheels can still achieve normal braking, entering the second working condition of redundant braking. The first chamber 31 to the front wheels becomes normal pressure, which will not be elaborated here too much.

[0076] Third, when the system loses power and the redundant braking circuit fails, in the mechanical braking mode.

[0077] AsFigure 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 pressure increasing valve 21, the linear pressure reducing valve 22, the second linear pressure increasing valve 23, the third linear pressure increasing valve 24, the fourth linear pressure increasing valve 25, and the fifth linear pressure increasing valve 26 are all in their natural states. When the driver performs a conventional brake, the pressure build-up in the first chamber 31 pushes the second piston 35 to the limit. The volume of the first chamber 31 changes, and the pressure is transmitted through the first normally open valve 107 to the braking forces of the right front wheel cylinder 63 and the left front wheel cylinder 64 to complete the mechanical brake.

[0078] In summary, the present invention has the following advantages:

[0079] First, the present invention does not have a large reduction ratio mechanism, the mechanical inertia of the system is smaller, and the response speed is faster.

[0080] Second, the oil pump 81 and the accumulator 82 of the present invention are both hydraulic energy sources and can work independently and backup each other.

[0081] Third, the electrical system of this solution is relatively simple, has high reliability, and low cost.

[0082] Fourth, the drainage volume of this solution is not limited by the piston displacement and is more suitable for large liquid demand systems.

[0083] Fifth, this solution uses one oil pump 81 to solve the problem of the need for high-frequency pressure regulation and decompression, with a simple structure and low cost.

[0084] Sixth, various braking operations under different working conditions are achieved through the settings of 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 pressure increasing valve 21, the linear pressure reducing valve 22, the second linear pressure increasing valve 23, the third linear pressure increasing valve 24, the fourth linear pressure increasing valve 25, and the fifth linear pressure increasing valve 26.

[0085] Seventh, the front and rear hydraulic balance is achieved through the variable diameter setting of the second piston 35 of the master cylinder 3, the pressure build-up and the decoupling of the braking circuit in the wire control braking mode are realized, and the volume drainage / liquid intake difference brought by the effective area difference between the front and rear of the first piston 34 is used to build pressure after entering the pedal simulator 5.

[0086] Eighth, the brake fluid in the braking circuit during active braking all comes from the second oil pot, and the brake fluid in the pressure build-up circuit comes from the first chamber, and the corresponding redundant braking and mechanical braking reservoirs backup each other.

[0087] Ninth, the accumulator 82 cooperating with the large-flow servo valve 10 can meet the requirements of rapid response and large-displacement wheel cylinder braking, and the upper limit of the braked vehicle type is thereby increased.

[0088] Tenth, the redundant braking mode is provided with sufficient brake fluid pressure by the accumulator 82, which can meet the braking efficiency and help ensure the braking performance and driving feel at the same time.

Any changes or substitutions that can be easily thought of by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed by the present invention should be covered within the protection scope of the present invention. Therefore, the protection scope of the present invention shall be subject to the protection scope of the claims.
