AI Technical Summary
In the existing technology, it is difficult to control the pedal depth during the brake fluid bleed process, which can easily lead to damage to the return spring in the brake master cylinder, and the fixed limit method cannot adapt to the differences in air content in different braking systems.
The design employs a combination of an exhaust pipe and an exhaust plate, and dynamically adjusts the limit through the fluid storage space. By utilizing the incompressibility of liquids and the compressibility of gases, the piston rod's movement limit is adjusted according to the air content of the brake fluid, thereby achieving depth control of the brake pedal.
This increases the amount of air bubbles released from the brake fluid, preventing damage to the brake master cylinder return spring and ensuring the stability and efficiency of the braking system.

Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of mechanical engineering technology, specifically relating to an actuation mechanism for a brake, and more particularly to an exhaust device, a brake, a forklift, and a method for operating the exhaust device. Background Technology
[0002] Before a forklift leaves the factory, brake fluid needs to be added to its braking system. Because forklifts have a heavy load, their braking performance is required to be high. It is especially important to purge the air from the brake system lines during the brake fluid filling process.
[0003] In related technologies, removing air bubbles from brake fluid typically involves manually pressing the brake pedal to allow the brake fluid to flow through the brake fluid lines, thereby expelling all air bubbles. The relevant operational standards require: before testing, remove the reservoir cap and check that the bleed air vent is clear; add brake fluid to the reservoir; locate the bleed screw on the brake cylinder of the wheel requiring bleed air; have someone inside the vehicle slowly depress the brake pedal 5-6 times, then keep the pedal depressed; have someone outside the vehicle loosen the bleed screw with a wrench and observe the brake fluid flow at the bleed screw: when there are no air bubbles and the brake fluid is spraying in a straight line, immediately tighten the bleed screw. Bleeding is complete. During the test drive, brake fluid should be continuously added to maintain the specified level in the reservoir. Finally, tighten the reservoir cap.
[0004] However, after actual operation by the staff, it was found that controlling the pedal depth was difficult. Because the bleed screw of the brake wheel cylinder was in the open state, there was no resistance when the brake fluid flowed, which could easily lead to over-pressing, causing damage to the return spring in the brake master cylinder, thus resulting in subsequent factory failures.
[0005] There is an urgent need to provide an exhaust device and its working method to solve the technical problem of difficulty in controlling the pedal depth when venting the brake in related technologies.
[0006] It should be noted that the information disclosed in this background section is only for understanding the background technology of the present application concept, and therefore, the above description is not considered to constitute prior art information. Summary of the Invention
[0007] This disclosure provides at least one venting device, including: a venting cylinder sleeved on the piston rod of the brake master cylinder; a venting plate disposed inside the venting cylinder to limit the forward movement length of the piston rod; and a fluid storage space between the venting plate and the front end of the venting cylinder; a fluid guide pipe is connected to the front end of the venting cylinder; the fluid guide pipe is configured to communicate with the bleed screw of the brake wheel cylinder; wherein when venting is triggered, the brake fluid in the brake wheel cylinder is pressurized and flows into the fluid storage space through the fluid guide pipe, thereby pushing the venting plate to move and change its position limiting the piston rod.
[0008] In one optional embodiment, the exhaust pipe includes an upper cylinder and a lower cylinder; the lower cylinder has a liquid inlet at its front end; the liquid inlet is configured to communicate with a liquid guide pipe; and the upper cylinder has an exhaust port at its top, and a one-way valve for gas discharge is provided at the exhaust port; wherein when the piston rod moves forward, the brake fluid in the brake wheel cylinder flows into the reservoir through the liquid inlet to increase the pressure in the reservoir, thereby discharging the gas in the reservoir through the exhaust port and pushing the exhaust plate backward.
[0009] In one alternative embodiment, the exhaust plate has a through hole in the center that is adapted to the piston rod of the brake master cylinder; and the exhaust plate is also configured to be pushed by the connecting block at the rear end of the piston rod to compress the reservoir space.
[0010] In one optional embodiment, if the reservoir contains a mixture of brake fluid and gas, the connecting block pushes the exhaust plate to compress the reservoir; that is, if there is gas in the reservoir, the position of the exhaust plate when the gas is compressed to an incompressible state is the limit position of the exhaust plate's movement.
[0011] In one optional implementation, if the reservoir is filled with brake fluid, the vent plate remains stationary to limit its compression of the reservoir; that is, if there is no gas in the reservoir, the position of the vent plate is the limit position of its movement.
[0012] In one alternative embodiment, a spring is provided between the exhaust plate and the front end of the exhaust pipe; and when the spring is in its initial state, the outer wall of the exhaust plate blocks the exhaust port.
[0013] This disclosure also provides at least one brake, including: a master cylinder with the aforementioned venting device sleeved on its piston rod; an oil reservoir disposed above the master cylinder, the oil reservoir being configured to supply brake fluid to the master cylinder; and a wheel cylinder connected to the master cylinder via a pipeline.
[0014] This disclosure also provides at least one forklift, including: the aforementioned brake; and a brake pedal configured to drive a piston rod in a brake master cylinder to move.
[0015] This disclosure also provides at least one method for operating an exhaust device, including: using the above-mentioned exhaust device; wherein the brake wheel cylinder and the exhaust cylinder are connected by a fluid guide pipe; the piston rod is limited by an exhaust plate; and when initially pressed, the piston rod moves forward to squeeze the brake fluid into the reservoir through the fluid guide pipe, thereby pushing the exhaust plate to move and change its position limiting the piston rod; when pressed deeply, the connecting block at the rear end of the piston rod pushes the exhaust plate to further compress the reservoir.
[0016] In one optional embodiment, if there is gas in the liquid storage space, the position of the exhaust plate when the gas is compressed to an incompressible state is the movement limit position of the exhaust plate.
[0017] If there is no gas in the liquid storage space, the position of the vent plate is the limit position of the vent plate's movement.
[0018] The beneficial effects of this invention are that the exhaust device, through the cooperation of the exhaust pipe and the exhaust plate, achieves the movement limit of the brake master cylinder piston rod. Compared with the traditional fixed limit method, the limit distance is dynamically adjusted by the set reservoir space. Utilizing the incompressibility of liquid and the compressibility of gas, when the pedal is pressed to exhaust air, the piston rod movement is limited according to the gas content of the brake fluid discharged into the reservoir space. That is, when the brake fluid discharged into the reservoir space contains gas, the connecting block at the rear end of the piston rod will further compress the reservoir space, thereby increasing the stroke of the brake pedal. This allows the brake pedal to be pressed more deeply to expel deep air bubbles. Furthermore, since the reservoir space is compressed at this time, the brake master cylinder is also in the discharge state due to the movement of the piston rod, thereby bidirectionally pressurizing the brake fluid in the braking system and increasing the amount of air bubbles released from the brake fluid.

[0029] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention clearer, the technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, not all embodiments.

[0030] It should be noted that similar reference numerals and letters in the following figures indicate similar items; therefore, once an item is defined in one figure, it does not need to be further defined and explained in subsequent figures. Furthermore, in the figures, the thickness of parts may be exaggerated or reduced for the purpose of effectively depicting the technical content.
[0031] In related technologies, when a forklift is manufactured and ready for shipment, brake fluid needs to be added to the braking system. After the brake fluid is added, air bubbles in the braking system need to be removed to ensure the stability of the braking system. Common methods for removing air bubbles include: vacuum venting, pressurizing the reservoir for venting, and manual venting. For OEMs, manual venting is the mainstream method. Manual venting involves repeatedly pressing the brake pedal to allow the brake fluid to flow and expel air bubbles from the braking system. However, because the bleed screw on the brake wheel cylinder is open and there is no back pressure in the hydraulic system, the operator can easily... The brake pedal is easily pressed too deeply, which can damage the return spring in the master cylinder. To address this, some technologies use a limiter on the brake pedal, either by placing a limiter under the pedal or on the piston rod, to restrict the pedal's depth. However, in practice, it has been found that a fixed limiter cannot accommodate all braking systems, as the air content in the brake fluid varies between systems. If the limiter is too small, it will still cause significant stretching of the return spring; conversely, a large limiter may result in insufficient pedal depth, preventing deep air bubbles from escaping.
[0032] Therefore, how to solve the problem that the fixed limit method cannot meet the air content requirements of the braking system is a technical problem that urgently needs to be solved in this field.
[0033] The defects in the above solutions and the reasons for their occurrence are the results of the inventors' practice and careful research. Therefore, the discovery process of the above problems and the solutions proposed in this disclosure should be considered as the inventors' contributions to this disclosure.
[0034] The following detailed description of some embodiments of the present invention is provided in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Unless otherwise specified, the following embodiments and features can be combined with each other.
[0035] See Figure 1 , Figure 1 An exhaust device is shown, comprising: an exhaust pipe 1 sleeved on the piston rod 2 of the master cylinder 3; an exhaust plate 14 disposed inside the exhaust pipe 1 to limit the forward movement of the piston rod 2; and a fluid storage space between the exhaust plate 14 and the front end of the exhaust pipe 1; a fluid guide pipe 5 is connected to the front end of the exhaust pipe 1; the fluid guide pipe 5 is configured to communicate with the bleed screw 7 of the brake wheel cylinder 6; wherein when the brake pedal is pressed to exhaust, the brake fluid in the brake wheel cylinder 6 is pressurized and flows into the fluid storage space through the fluid guide pipe 5, thereby pushing the exhaust plate 14 to move and change its position limiting the piston rod 2.
[0036] Specifically, the exhaust pipe 1 and the exhaust plate 14 are designed to cooperate to limit the movement of the piston rod 2 of the master cylinder 3. Compared with the traditional fixed limiting method, the limiting distance is dynamically adjusted by the set reservoir space. Utilizing the incompressibility of liquid and the compressibility of gas, when the pedal is pressed to bleed air, the piston rod 2 is limited to its movement limit according to the amount of gas in the brake fluid discharged into the reservoir space. That is, when the brake fluid discharged into the reservoir space contains gas, the connecting block 21 at the rear end of the piston rod 2 will further compress the reservoir space, thereby increasing the stroke of the brake pedal 8, so that the brake pedal 8 can be pressed more deeply to expel deep air bubbles.
[0037] See Figure 2 In some embodiments, the exhaust pipe 1 includes an upper cylinder 11 and a lower cylinder 12; the lower cylinder 12 has a liquid inlet hole 13 at its front end; the liquid inlet hole 13 is configured to communicate with the liquid guide pipe 5; and the upper cylinder 11 has an exhaust hole 10 at its top, and a one-way valve for gas discharge is provided at the exhaust hole 10.
[0038] As an optional implementation, the exhaust pipe 1 includes an upper cylinder 11 and a lower cylinder 12, which are connected by a snap-fit mechanism. One cylinder is equipped with a retaining strip 121, and auxiliary sealing patches are used to prevent brake fluid or gas leakage from gaps. Specifically, when venting is required, the upper cylinder 11 and lower cylinder 12 are spliced together, and then the fluid inlet is connected to the fluid guide pipe 5 to begin the venting process.
[0039] See Figure 3 Specifically, the exhaust plate 14 can also be configured to include an upper plate and a lower plate, which are connected by splicing, including but not limited to a slot 140 on one plate and a sealing patch to prevent gas or liquid leakage. The upper plate has a semi-circular hole at its center, and the lower plate has a semi-circular hole at its center. After splicing, they form a through hole that matches the piston rod 2 of the brake master cylinder 3. At the same time, since a connecting block 21 is provided on the rear side of the piston rod 2, as the piston rod 2 continues to move, the connecting block 21 will contact the exhaust plate 14 and push the exhaust plate 14. If there is air in the reservoir at this time, due to the compressibility of the gas, the connecting block 21 will push the exhaust plate 14 to move to slightly compress the reservoir. That is, for the operator, there is a certain resistance to stepping, but it can still be stepped on until the gas is compressed to the point that it cannot be stepped on. At this time, compared with the case where the reservoir is full of brake fluid, the piston rod 2 moves forward more, and the pressure applied to the braking system is greater, which helps to expel deep gas.
[0040] For details, see Figure 4 and Figure 5Because the exhaust pipe 1 has an exhaust port 10, when the piston rod 2 moves but the connecting block 21 does not contact the exhaust plate 14, brake fluid and / or gas from the braking system will flow into the reservoir. The exhaust plate 14 will move backward under the action of the flowing brake fluid and / or gas until the exhaust port 10 opens. When the connecting block 21 pushes the exhaust plate 14 to compress the reservoir, the gas in the reservoir will first be discharged from the exhaust port 10 until the exhaust plate 14 passes the position of the exhaust port 10. At this time, the gas remaining in the reservoir serves as the standard for pedal limit. If there is no gas, due to the incompressibility of the liquid, the exhaust plate 14 will not be able to continue to move, thereby forcibly restricting the operator's pedaling.
[0041] That is, such as Figure 4 As shown, when the piston rod moves forward and the connecting block does not press against the exhaust plate, the brake fluid and / or gas in the braking system flow into the reservoir from direction F1. Subsequently, the exhaust plate is pressed and moves along direction F2, and at this time, some gas can be discharged along direction F3. When the connecting block presses against the exhaust plate, the exhaust plate will move along direction F4 until it avoids the exhaust hole. At this time, the liquid in the reservoir tends to transmit pressure along direction F3.
[0042] In some embodiments, a spring 15 is provided between the exhaust plate 14 and the front end of the exhaust cylinder 1; and when the spring 15 is in the initial state, the outer wall of the exhaust plate 14 blocks the exhaust hole 10.
[0043] See Figure 1 On the other hand, some embodiments also provide a brake, including: a master cylinder 3, on which the above-mentioned venting device is sleeved; an oil reservoir 4, disposed above the master cylinder 3, the oil reservoir 4 being configured to supply brake fluid to the master cylinder 3; and a wheel cylinder 6, the wheel cylinder 6 being connected to the master cylinder 3 via a pipeline.
[0044] See Figure 1 On the other hand, some embodiments also provide a forklift including the aforementioned brake and brake pedal 8, the brake pedal 8 being configured to drive the piston rod in the brake master cylinder to move.
[0045] On the other hand, some embodiments also provide a method of operating the exhaust device, including: using the above-mentioned exhaust device; connecting the brake wheel cylinder 6 and the exhaust cylinder 1 through the fluid guide pipe 5; limiting the forward movement distance of the piston rod 2 by the exhaust plate 14; and when the pedal is pressed to exhaust, the piston rod 2 moves forward to squeeze the brake fluid into the reservoir through the fluid guide pipe 5, thereby pushing the exhaust plate 14 to move to change its position limiting the piston rod 2; when the pedal is pressed deeply, the connecting block 21 at the rear end of the piston rod 2 pushes the exhaust plate 14 to further compress the reservoir.
[0046] In some embodiments, the exhaust stack 1 includes an upper cylinder 11 and a lower cylinder 12; the lower cylinder 12 has a liquid inlet hole 13 at its front end; the liquid inlet hole 13 is configured to communicate with the liquid guide pipe 5; and the upper cylinder 11 has an exhaust hole 10 at its top, and a one-way valve for gas discharge is provided at the exhaust hole 10.
[0047] In some embodiments, the exhaust plate 14 has a through hole in the center that is adapted to the piston rod 2 of the brake master cylinder 3; and the exhaust plate 14 is also configured to be pushed by the rear connecting block 21 of the piston rod 2 to compress the reservoir space.
[0048] In some embodiments, a spring 15 is provided between the exhaust plate 14 and the front end of the exhaust cylinder 1; and when the spring 15 is in the initial state, the outer wall of the exhaust plate 14 blocks the exhaust hole 10.
[0049] In some embodiments, if there is gas in the reservoir, the connecting block 21 pushes the vent plate 14 to compress the reservoir; if the reservoir is full of brake fluid, the vent plate 14 remains stationary to limit the displacement of the connecting block 21.
[0050] In summary, this venting device, through the cooperation of the venting pipe 1 and the venting plate 14, achieves the movement limit of the piston rod 2 of the brake master cylinder 3. Compared with the traditional fixed limit method, the limit distance is dynamically adjusted by the set reservoir space. Utilizing the incompressibility of liquid and the compressibility of gas, when the pedal is pressed to vent, the movement limit of the piston rod 2 is determined according to the gas content of the brake fluid discharged into the reservoir space. That is, when the brake fluid discharged into the reservoir space contains gas, the connecting block 21 at the rear end of the piston rod 2 will further compress the reservoir space, thereby increasing the stroke of the brake pedal 8. This allows the brake pedal 8 to be pressed more deeply to expel deep air bubbles. Furthermore, since the reservoir space is compressed at this time, the brake master cylinder 3 is also in the discharge state due to the movement of the piston rod 2, thereby bidirectionally pressurizing the brake fluid in the braking system and increasing the amount of air bubbles released from the brake fluid.
