Description

[0002] In a traditional braking system, it is impossible to decouple the braking pedal input from the frictional braking force, which has great limitations in use, making it impossible for the traditional braking system to better meet the usage requirements of intelligent vehicles in kinetic energy recovery and intelligent driving. The wire-controlled braking system realizes the decoupling of the braking pedal input from the frictional braking force, so the wire-controlled braking system is increasingly used in vehicles. In order to better improve the user experience, a pedal feel simulation device is adopted in the wire-controlled braking system to simulate the pedal braking feel. However, in this technical field, although the pedal feel simulation device can use a rubber spring to simulate the non-linear braking force, the elasticity of the rubber spring changes with temperature. Especially in a low-temperature environment, the rubber spring becomes hard, which affects the simulation effect of the pedal feel simulation device. Moreover, when the rubber spring is compressed, the diameter of the rubber spring increases, and then the rubber spring easily affects the normal use of other surrounding components, such as the coil spring in the pedal feel module device, resulting in durability problems.

Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.

[0041] Embodiment 1

[0042] Please refer to Figure 1 As shown, in the embodiment of the present invention, a pedal feel simulator is provided. The pedal feel simulator at least includes a first housing 100, a second housing 200, and an elastic simulation mechanism 300. The second housing 200 is movably inserted into the first housing 100, and an installation cavity is formed between the second housing 200 and the first housing 100. The elastic simulation mechanism 300 includes an actuator 310 movably disposed in the installation cavity, a first elastic component 320 disposed between the actuator 310 and the first housing 100, and a second elastic component 330 disposed between the actuator 310 and the second housing 200. The stiffness of the first elastic component 320 is greater than that of the second elastic component 330.

[0043] Overall, when the pedal feel simulator is in use, by movably inserting the first housing 100 and the second housing 200, the first housing 100 and the second housing 200 can move towards each other to compress the elastic simulation mechanism 300. The elastic simulation mechanism 300 can generate resistance to simulate the braking feel, realizing the decoupling of the braking pedal input and the frictional force, so as to better meet the use needs of the vehicle.

[0044] Moreover, the elastic simulation mechanism 300 of the present invention uses the first elastic component 320 and the second elastic component 330 in cooperation. When the first housing 100 and / or the second housing 200 is compressed, the damping of the first elastic component 320 and the second elastic component 330 can be controllably superimposed in sequence, so that the stiffness curve of the pedal feel simulator changes non-linearly to simulate different braking feels in different stages, with better simulation flexibility, thereby improving the user's braking experience.

[0045] Moreover, when the first elastic component 320 and / or the second elastic component 330 are composed of elastic members with different stiffnesses, by controlling the stiffness and type of each elastic member, it is possible to avoid using rubber elastic members. On the one hand, this solves the problem that the stiffness of rubber elastic members changes significantly at different temperatures, improving the simulation effect; on the other hand, it also avoids interference caused by the deformation of rubber elastic members to other surrounding components, improves the durability, and is beneficial to improving the service life of this pedal feel simulator.

[0046] In an embodiment of the present invention, the first elastic component 320 includes a first elastic member 321 disposed between the actuator 310 and the first housing 100, and a second elastic member 322 disposed between the first elastic member 321 and the first housing 100. The stiffness of the first elastic member 321 is less than the stiffness of the second elastic member 322.

[0047] By making the stiffness of the first elastic member 321 less than the stiffness of the second elastic member 322, when the first elastic member 321 and the second elastic member 322 are simultaneously compressed, the first elastic member 321 will deform prior to the second elastic member 322 to provide braking resistance.

[0048] Specifically, the first elastic member 321 includes a first spring. The first spring is disposed between the actuator 310 and the second elastic member 322. The first spring has a first preset stiffness, and the first preset stiffness is less than the stiffness of the second elastic member 322.

[0049] Designers can adjust the magnitude of the first preset stiffness according to the usage requirements, and no specific numerical limit is set here.

[0050] In an embodiment of the present invention, the second elastic member 322 includes a first set of disc springs 3221. The first set of disc springs 3221 is disposed between the first elastic member 321 and the first housing 100. The first set of disc springs 3221 has a second preset stiffness, and the second preset stiffness is greater than the stiffness of the first elastic member 321.

[0051] Designers can adjust the specific structure of the first set of disc springs 3221 and the magnitude of the second preset stiffness according to the usage requirements, and no specific limit is set here. Preferably, the first set of disc springs 3221 includes at least one first disc spring. Among them, the second preset stiffness is the stiffness of the first disc spring.

[0052] Furthermore, the second elastic member 322 further includes a second set of disc springs 3222. The second set of disc springs 3222 is disposed between the first set of disc springs 3221 and the first housing 100. The second set of disc springs 3222 has a third preset stiffness, and the third preset stiffness is greater than the second preset stiffness.

[0053] Preferably, the second disc spring group 3222 includes a plurality of second disc springs. Moreover, the first disc spring group 3221 and the second disc spring group 3222 can be arranged concentrically. Among them, the third preset stiffness is the stiffness of the second disc spring.

[0054] By making the third preset stiffness greater than the second preset stiffness, when compressed, the first disc spring group 3221 will deform prior to the second disc spring group 3222 to provide braking damping.

[0055] In an embodiment of the present utility model, the second elastic component 330 includes a fourth elastic member 331. The fourth elastic member 331 is disposed between the actuator 310 and the second housing 200, and the stiffness of the fourth elastic member 331 is less than the stiffness of the first elastic member 321.

[0056] By disposing the fourth elastic member 331 between the actuator 310 and the second housing 200, when the second housing 200 is compressed, the second housing 200 will press down the fourth elastic member 331, and at the same time the third elastic member will transmit the pressure to the first elastic component 320 through the actuator 310.

[0057] Since the stiffness of the fourth elastic member 331 is less than the stiffness of the first elastic member 321, the fourth elastic member 331 will deform prior to the first elastic member 321 to generate braking resistance.

[0058] Specifically, the second elastic member 322 includes a second spring. The second spring is disposed between the actuator 310 and the second housing 200. The second spring has a fourth preset stiffness, and the fourth preset stiffness is less than the stiffness of the first elastic component 320.

[0059] Designers can adjust the magnitude of the fourth preset stiffness according to the usage requirements, and no specific numerical limit is set here.

[0060] In an embodiment of the present utility model, a displacement limiter 400 is further included. The displacement limiter 400 is disposed between the first disc spring group 3221 and the second disc spring group 3222.

[0061] By disposing the displacement limiter 400 between the first disc spring group 3221 and the second disc spring group 3222, when the first disc spring group 3221 and the second disc spring group 3222 are compressed, the displacement limiter 400 can reduce or avoid crosstalk between the first disc spring group 3221 and the second disc spring group 3222, thereby helping to improve the usage stability of the first elastic component 320.

[0062] Designers can adjust the specific structure of the displacement limiter 400 according to the usage requirements. For example, the displacement limiter 400 includes a stop washer disposed between the first disc spring group 3221 and the second disc spring group 3222, and no specific limit is set here.

[0063] In an embodiment of the present utility model, it further includes a spacer 500. The spacer 500 is disposed between the first elastic member 321 and the second elastic member 322, and one end of the second housing 200 can abut against the spacer 500.

[0064] Specifically, the spacer 500 includes a spacer washer disposed between the first elastic member 321 and the second elastic member 322. By arranging the spacer washer between the first elastic member 321 and the second elastic member 322, the spacer washer can better support the first elastic member 321, and the spacer washer can also evenly transfer the pressure on the first elastic member 321 to the second elastic member 322, improving the pressure uniformity.

[0065] In an embodiment of the present utility model, the actuator 310 includes an end portion 311 and a rod portion 312 connected to the end portion 311. The first elastic assembly 320 is disposed between one side end face of the end portion 311 and the first housing 100, and the second elastic assembly 330 is disposed between the other end face of the end portion 311 and the second housing 200. A channel for the rod portion 312 to pass through is provided on the first elastic assembly 320.

[0066] Specifically, the first elastic member 321 includes a first spring, and the first spring is sleeved on the rod portion 312. Moreover, the second elastic member 322 includes a first disc spring group 3221 and a second disc spring group 3222. The central holes of the first disc spring group 3221 and the second disc spring group 3222 form the channel, and the first disc spring group 3221 and the second disc spring group 3222 can also be sleeved on the rod portion 312.

[0067] By the cooperation between the rod portion 312 and the inner wall of the first housing 100, it is beneficial to improve the installation stability of the first spring, the first disc spring group 3221 and the second disc spring group 3222.

[0068] Of course, designers can adjust the specific structure of the actuator 310 according to the usage requirements, and no specific limitation is made here.

[0069] In an embodiment of the present utility model, it further includes a limiting structure 600 disposed between the second housing 200 and the actuator 310. The second spring is disposed between the second housing 200 and the actuator 310 through the limiting structure 600.

[0070] The limiting structure 600 can play a role in limiting the second spring, avoiding the second spring from moving around during use, thereby helping to improve the use stability of the pedal feel simulator.

[0071] Specifically, the limiting structure 600 includes a first limiting portion 610 disposed on the second housing 200 and a second limiting portion 620 disposed on the actuator 310. The second spring connects the first limiting portion 610 and the second limiting portion 620.

[0072] The designer can adjust the specific structures of the first limiting part 610 and the second limiting part 620 according to the usage requirements, and no specific limitation is made here. For example, one of the first limiting part 610 and the second limiting part 620 is a limiting groove, and the other of the first limiting part 610 and the second limiting part 620 is a limiting block.

[0073] Preferably, a limiting groove is provided on the end 311 of the actuator 310, one end of the second spring is inserted into the limiting groove, a limiting block protrudes on the second housing 200, and the other end of the second spring is sleeved on the limiting block.

[0074] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the pedal feel simulator includes a first spring, a second spring, a first disc spring group 3221 and a second disc spring group 3222. The specific braking simulation process of the pedal feel simulator is as follows:

[0075] The first stage: Apply pressure to the second housing 200, and the second housing 200 compresses the second spring downward, causing the second spring to be deformed under pressure until the second housing 200 abuts against the actuator 310;

[0076] The second stage: The second housing 200 continues to press down the actuator 310, and the actuator 310 compresses the first spring downward, causing the first spring to be deformed under pressure until the second housing 200 abuts against the spacer 500;

[0077] The third stage: The second housing 200 continues to press down the spacer 500, and the spacer 500 compresses the first disc spring group 3221 downward, causing the first disc spring group 3221 to be deformed under pressure until the first disc spring group 3221 is completely compressed onto the displacement limiter;

[0078] The fourth stage: The second housing 200 continues to press down, driving the first disc spring group 3221 to compress the displacement limiter 400 downward, and the displacement limiter compresses the second disc spring group 3222 downward, causing the second disc spring group 3222 to be deformed under pressure, thereby providing the final displacement.

[0079] Wherein, during the compression process of the first spring, the second spring, the first disc spring group 3221 and the second disc spring group 3222, the stiffness between the components can be superimposed in an orderly manner, so that the pedal feel simulator can simulate different stiffness curves according to the design requirements and has a better braking simulation effect.

[0080] In the embodiment of the present invention, the first housing 100 includes a spring seat, the spring seat is arranged in a cylindrical shape, the second housing 200 includes a piston, the piston is arranged in a cylindrical shape, the piston is slidably inserted into the spring seat, and an installation cavity is formed between the spring seat and the piston.

[0081] Of course, in other feasible embodiments, the designer can adjust the specific shape and structure of the first housing 100 and the second housing 200 according to the use, and no specific limitation is made here.

[0082] Since the second housing 200 may be pushed out of the first housing 100 under the elastic force of the elastic simulation mechanism 300 after the first housing 100 and the second housing 200 are movably inserted.

[0083] In order to prevent the second housing 200 from detaching from the first housing 100, in the embodiment of the present utility model, a sliding connection structure 700 is further included between the first housing 100 and the second housing 200, and the sliding connection structure 700 can limit the movement stroke of the second housing 200 along the axial direction of the first housing 100.

[0084] Specifically, the sliding connection structure 700 includes a first connecting member 710 slidably sleeved on the first housing 100 and a second connecting member 720 connected to the second housing 200, and the first connecting member 710 and the second connecting member 720 are detachably connected.

[0085] Furthermore, a protruding limiting shoulder is provided on the outer wall of the first housing 100, and the first connecting member 710 can be axially limited along the first housing 100 by the limiting shoulder to prevent the first connecting member 710 from detaching from the first housing 100 along with the second housing 200.

[0086] The designer can adjust the specific structure of the first connecting member 710 and the second connecting member 720 according to the use requirements, and no specific limitation is made here.

[0087] For example, the first connecting member 710 includes a screw sleeve slidably sleeved on the first housing 100, and the second connecting member 720 includes a cover body covering the second housing 200.

[0088] Moreover, the cover body and the screw sleeve can be connected by threads, or the cover body and the screw sleeve can be detachably clamped, or the cover body and the screw sleeve can also be detachably connected by a connecting member, and no specific limitation is made here.

[0090] In the embodiment of the present utility model, a sealing structure is provided between the cover body and the first housing 100 and / or between the cover body and the second housing 200.

[0091] The sealing structure can play an isolation role to prevent impurities and water from entering the installation cavity and polluting the elastic simulation mechanism 300. The designer can adjust the specific structure of the sealing structure according to the use requirements, such as a sealing ring, etc., and no specific limitation is made here.
