The first actuator unit 70 and the second actuator unit 71 are connected to the same motor actuator 8. The first actuator unit 70 includes a first inlet valve 701, a first pressure reducing valve 702, a first plunger pump 703, and a first accumulator 704. The first inlet valve 701 is connected to the first master cylinder 5 and the front brake 1. The first pressure reducing valve 702 is connected between the front brake 1 and the first accumulator 704. The first plunger pump 703 is connected between the first master cylinder 5 and the first accumulator 704.

The second actuator unit 71 includes a second inlet valve 711, a second pressure reducing valve 712, a second plunger pump 713, and a second accumulator 714.

The second plunger pump 713 is connected between the second master cylinder 6 and the second accumulator 714. The second plunger pump 713 is connected to the motor actuator 8. A second one-way valve 715 is further provided between the second master cylinder 6 and the second plunger pump 713.

[0025] In this embodiment, the front operating mechanism is a front handbrake, and the rear operating mechanism can be a rear handbrake or a rear footbrake. Preferably, it is a rear handbrake. The motor actuator is a motor with a planetary gearbox. The motor actuator is connected to both the first plunger pump and the second plunger pump at the same time.

[0026] It further includes a third one-way valve 7011 and a fourth one-way valve 7111. The third one-way valve connects the front brake and the first master cylinder, and the brake fluid can only flow from the front brake to the first master cylinder. The fourth one-way valve connects the rear brake and the second master cylinder, and the brake fluid can only flow from the rear brake to the second master cylinder.

[0027] It further includes a controller 9 and a wheel speed sensor 10. The wheel speed sensor is used to collect the rotational speeds of the front and rear wheels and feedback the wheel speed information to the controller. The controller is also connected to the motor actuator.

[0028] The working principle of the present utility model is as follows:

[0029] When the driver operates the front operating mechanism and / or the rear operating mechanism, here taking the driver's operation of the front operating mechanism as an example for illustration, the front operating mechanism drives the first master cylinder to move. Since the first inlet valve is a normally open solenoid valve of two positions and two paths, after the first master cylinder moves, it directly conveys the brake fluid through the pipeline to the front brake, and the front brake performs braking. When the clamping force of the front brake is too large, the wheel speed sensor detects that the wheel is approaching the locked state, then the first inlet valve closes, cutting off the connection between the first master cylinder and the front brake. At the same time, the first pressure reducing valve is energized and conducts, and the brake fluid of the front brake drains into the first accumulator through the first pressure reducing valve, and the pressure of the front brake drops, and the wheel resumes rotation. When the wheel speed sensor detects that the rotational speed of the wheel exceeds the rotational speed threshold set by the controller, the first pressure reducing valve closes. At the same time, the first inlet valve opens, and the motor actuator works, driving the first plunger pump to work. The first plunger pump extracts the brake fluid in the first accumulator and enters the front brake through the first inlet valve to establish a braking pressure, causing the pressure of the front brake to rise and reducing the rotational speed of the wheel. This process repeats, ensuring that the wheel is at the optimal slip ratio, thus preventing the vehicle from getting out of control during braking.

[0030] When the driver releases the front operating mechanism, the first inlet valve opens, and the brake fluid of the front brake flows back into the first master cylinder. If there is brake fluid in the first accumulator, the piston in the first accumulator will reset to drain the brake fluid back into the first master cylinder.

[0031] The action process of the second execution unit is the same as that of the aforementioned first execution unit, ensuring that the front wheels and / or rear wheels will not lock during braking.

[0032] The present utility model simultaneously realizes anti-lock braking for the front and rear wheels of a two-wheeler through an electro-hydraulic control system, preventing the vehicle from getting out of control, overcoming the problem in the prior art that vehicles with only single-wheel anti-lock guide columns are prone to getting out of control. At the same time, the present utility model achieves integration and low cost, integrating into a single hydraulic actuator with a more compact structure, facilitating the layout of this control system in the vehicle, and overcoming the problems of insufficient space and high cost existing in the prior art where multiple sets of anti-lock mechanisms need to be arranged.

[0033] Based on the described embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative efforts shall fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.
