[0053] In this document, “upper”, “lower”, “front”, “back”, “left”, “right”, etc. are only used to indicate the relative position relationship between related parts, rather than to limit the absolute positions of these related parts.

[0054] In this document, “equal”, “same”, etc. are not strictly limited in a mathematical and / or geometric sense, but also include errors that can be understood by those skilled in the art and are allowed in manufacturing or use.

[0055] Unless otherwise stated, the numerical ranges herein include not only the entire range within its two endpoints but also include several sub-ranges contained therein.

[0056] Figures 1 to 5 A brake pressurizing device for a brake system according to the utility model is shown, and the brake pressurizing device for a brake system includes a base 100, a motor 110, a conversion mechanism 130, and a coupler 140. A piston 103 is arranged in the base 100. The motor 110 is arranged in the base 100. The conversion mechanism 130 is arranged in the base 100, and the conversion mechanism 130 is used to convert the rotational motion of the motor 110 into the linear motion of the piston 103. The coupler 140 includes a first rotor 141 and a second rotor 142, the first rotor 141 is connected to the motor 110, and the second rotor 142 is connected to the conversion mechanism 130, and there is a connection torque between the first rotor 141 and the second rotor 142.

[0057] According to the brake pressurizing device of the brake system of the utility model, when the brake pressurizing device is used normally, the motor 110 drives the first rotor 141 to rotate, and the first rotor 141 drives the second rotor 142 to rotate through the connecting torque, so that the conversion mechanism 130 drives the piston 103 to perform linear motion to achieve brake pressurization; if the piston 103 or the conversion mechanism 130 is stuck, the second rotor 142 will stop rotating. At this time, when the motor 110 reaches the maximum output torque, it can still drive the first rotor 141 to rotate relative to the second rotor 142, thereby preventing the motor 110 from being blocked and damaged.

[0058] Optionally, the first rotor 141 and the second rotor 142 are plug-fitted and spaced apart, and the connection torque between the first rotor 141 and the second rotor 142 is not greater than the maximum output torque of the motor 110. Therefore, when the motor maintains the maximum output torque, the first rotor 141 is able to rotate relative to the second rotor 142, thereby preventing the motor 110 from being blocked and damaged.

[0059] Further, see Figure 2 and Figure 4The coupler 140 may be a magnetic coupler 140, and the first rotor 141 is formed with a coupling cavity 143, and a plurality of first magnetic poles 144 and second magnetic poles 145 arranged around the axis of the first rotor 141 are arranged in the coupling cavity 143. The second rotor 142 is inserted into the coupling cavity 143 and is coaxially arranged with the first rotor 141. The second rotor 142 is provided with a third magnetic pole 146 and a fourth magnetic pole 147 arranged around the axis of the second rotor 142. The third magnetic pole 146 is attracted to the first magnetic pole 144 and repelled from the second magnetic pole 145, and the fourth magnetic pole 147 is attracted to the second magnetic pole 145 and repelled from the first magnetic pole 144, so that there is a connection torque between the first rotor 141 and the second rotor 142. In detail, the first magnetic pole 144 and the second magnetic pole 145 are alternately arranged around the axis of the first rotor 141, and correspondingly, the third magnetic pole 146 and the fourth magnetic pole 147 are alternately arranged around the axis of the second rotor 142. The first magnetic pole 144 and the third magnetic pole 146 are arranged in one-to-one correspondence, and the second magnetic pole 145 and the fourth magnetic pole 147 are arranged in one-to-one correspondence, so that the connection torque between the first rotor 141 and the second rotor 142 is more stable and balanced.

[0060] As an alternative, the first rotor 141 and the second rotor 142 may also have a connection torque through an elastic clamp. For example, a first groove is provided in the coupling cavity 143 of the first rotor 141, and an elastic ball is provided in the first groove, and a second groove is provided on the side wall of the second rotor 142, and the elastic ball is embedded in the second groove, so that there is a connection torque between the first rotor 141 and the second rotor 142. If the piston 103 or the conversion mechanism 130 is stuck, the second rotor 142 will stop rotating, and the elastic ball in the first groove will be driven by the motor 110 to disengage from the second groove and rotate in the first groove. At this time, when the motor 110 reaches the maximum output torque, it can still drive the first rotor 141 to rotate, thereby preventing the motor 110 from being blocked and damaged.

[0061] In another embodiment, a flexible connector may be provided between the first rotor 141 and the second rotor 142, and the flexible connector is fixed to the first rotor 141 and pressed against the second rotor 142. When the brake pressure device is used normally, the motor 110 drives the first rotor 141 to rotate, and the first rotor 141 drives the second rotor 142 to rotate through the static friction force of the flexible connector, so that the conversion mechanism 130 drives the piston 103 to perform linear motion to achieve brake pressure; and if the piston 103 or the conversion mechanism 130 is stuck, the second rotor 142 will stop rotating. At this time, when the motor 110 reaches the maximum output torque, it can still drive the first rotor 141 to rotate, so that the flexible connector rotates relative to the second rotor 142 and generates friction, and can also prevent the motor 110 from being blocked and damaged.

[0062] Therefore, all kinds of implementations for achieving a connection torque between the first rotor 141 and the second rotor 142 should be within the protection scope of the present utility model.

When the motor 110 is started, the first rotor 141 drives the second rotor 142 to rotate, so that the screw rod 131 rotates, and the piston 103 moves along the axial direction Z, and the brake pressurization is achieved by changing the volume in the pressurizing chamber 102.

[0066] Specifically, refer to Figure 2 The mounting hole 104 includes a first stepped hole 105, a second stepped hole 106 and a third stepped hole 107, and the first stepped hole 105, the second stepped hole 106 and the third stepped hole 107 are sequentially arranged along the axial direction Z. The third stepped hole 107 and the cylinder body 101 form a pressurized chamber 102, and the piston 103 is inserted into the third stepped hole 107 and is movably sealed and connected to the third stepped hole 107.

The second rotor 142 is penetrated into the inner ring of the bearing 108 and connected to the screw rod 131. The arrangement of the mounting hole 104, the piston 103, the bearing 108 and the guide sleeve 109 is compact in structure and good in assembly.

The motor rotor 112 is inserted into the stator 113, and the motor drive shaft 114 is coaxially arranged and fixed with the motor rotor 112. When the stator 113 is energized, a magnetic field is formed, so that the motor rotor 112 can drive the motor drive shaft 114 to rotate. The motor drive shaft 114 is connected to the first rotor 141, thereby driving the first rotor 141 to rotate.

[0069] The utility model also provides a brake system, comprising the brake pressure device according to the brake system. According to the brake system of the utility model, the motor 110 of the brake pressure device can be prevented from being blocked and damaged.

[0070] Furthermore, the brake system further includes a solenoid valve 123 and a simulator 122, both of which are arranged on the base 100. The solenoid valve 123 is used to be connected to the brake master cylinder, and the simulator 122 is connected to the solenoid valve 123, and is used to receive the brake fluid input by the solenoid valve 123, and the solenoid valve 123 is opened based on the signal of the brake pedal.

The simulator 122 is electrically connected to the motor 110 through the cable 121, and the motor 110 is driven based on the signal of the simulator 122. When the brake pedal is stepped on, the solenoid valve 123 is opened, and the brake fluid in the brake master cylinder is connected to the simulator 122 through the solenoid valve 123.
