[0029] The signal conversion module includes a first conversion unit and a second conversion unit. The first conversion unit is used to receive the digital signal sent by an external control device and convert the digital signal into a voltage signal, and the second conversion unit is used to amplify the voltage signal;

[0030] The input end and the output end of the execution switch module are respectively electrically connected to the second conversion unit and the control end of the EPB system, so as to adjust the control end to be in the neutral, applied or released state according to the amplified voltage signal.

[0031] In a specific embodiment, the first conversion unit is a microcontroller.
