[0031] As Figure 1As shown in the figure, a piston assembly for a hydraulic line control braking system provided in this embodiment includes: a housing 1, a plug 2, a manual piston 3, a wire control piston 4, a manual return spring 5, a wire control return spring 6, a spring seat 7, and a valve core push rod 8.

[0032] Among them, a manual piston cavity 11 is provided inside the housing 1. A manual braking oil inlet 12, a wire control braking oil inlet 13, and an oil return port 14 are sequentially provided on the side wall of the housing 1 from right to left. The plug 2 is hermetically installed in the manual piston cavity 11 through an O-ring 21 to ensure the sealing effect. At the same time, the plug 2 is limited and fixed in the manual piston cavity 11 through a wire snap ring 22. At the same time, the valve core push rod 8 is installed at the left end of the housing 1 so as to be movable left and right, and the right end of the valve core push rod 8 extends into the manual piston cavity 11.

[0033] At the same time, the manual piston 3 is installed in the manual piston cavity 11 so as to move in the left and right directions. The manual braking oil inlet 12 is located between the plug 2 and the manual piston 3, and a first communication cavity 15 communicating with the manual braking oil inlet 12 is provided on the inner wall of the manual piston cavity 11. A wire control piston cavity 31 is provided at the left end opening of the manual piston 3. A through groove 32 communicating the wire control piston cavity 31 and the wire control braking oil inlet 13 is provided on the side wall of the manual piston 3. A second communication cavity 16 communicating the wire control braking oil inlet 13 and the through groove 32 is provided on the inner wall of the manual piston cavity 11. And in order to accommodate more hydraulic oil for wire control braking, a notch 41 is provided at the right end opening of the wire control piston 4.

[0034] The wire control piston 4 is installed in the wire control piston cavity 31 so as to move in the left and right directions. The wire control piston 4 abuts against the right end of the valve core push rod 8. The spring seat 7 fixed in the manual piston cavity 11 is sleeved on the wire control piston 4. The manual return spring 5 is sleeved on the spring seat 7 and one end abuts against the end of the manual piston cavity 11. The wire control return spring 6 is sleeved on the wire control piston 4 and is located between the spring seat 7 and the wire control piston 4. The manual return spring 5 has a force acting on the spring seat 7 towards the plug 2, and the wire control return spring 6 has a force acting on the wire control piston 4 towards the plug 2.

[0035] As Figure 1 shown, for better sealing performance, two groups of sealing leather cups 9 are provided between the inner wall of the manual piston cavity 11 and the manual piston 3, and are respectively staggered between the manual braking oil inlet 12, the wire control braking oil inlet 13, and the oil return port 14. One group of sealing leather cups 9 is provided between the inner wall of the wire control piston cavity 31 and the wire control piston 4. The sealing leather cups 9 are of Y type, two sealing leather cups 9 are provided in each group, and their forks are arranged back to back. And sealing grooves 91 for accommodating the sealing leather cups 9 are provided on the inner walls of both the manual piston cavity 11 and the wire control piston cavity 31. The braking closed area is separated by the sealing leather cups 9, and the components are not easily worn and are simple and easy to obtain.

[0036] Actual operation process:

[0037] When braking with the manual piston 3, the high-pressure hydraulic fluid enters the manual piston chamber 11 from the manual braking oil inlet 12 through the first communication chamber 15, pushing the manual piston 3 to move leftward. The manual piston 3 overcomes the resistance of the manual return spring 5, causing the left end of the by-wire piston 4 to push the valve core push rod 8 to move and output a thrust F to achieve the braking function. At this time, the Y-shaped sealing leather cup 9 and the O-ring 21 in the by-wire piston 4 chamber 31 form a sealed area for the manual piston 3, converting the hydraulic fluid into thrust. When the braking is released, the manual piston 3 returns to its initial position under the action of the manual return spring 5, and the liquid in the valve core push rod 8 returns to the oil pot through the oil return port 14.

[0038] When braking with the by-wire piston 4, the manual piston 3 remains stationary. The high-pressure hydraulic fluid enters the by-wire piston 4 chamber 31 from the by-wire braking oil inlet 13 through the second communication chamber 16 and the through groove 32, pushing the by-wire piston 4 to move leftward. The by-wire piston 4 overcomes the resistance of the by-wire return spring 6, causing the left end of the by-wire piston 4 to push the valve core push rod 8 to move and output a thrust F to achieve the braking function. At this time, the Y-shaped sealing leather cup 9 in the by-wire piston 4 chamber 31 and the Y-shaped sealing leather cup 9 in the manual piston chamber 11 form a sealed area for the by-wire piston 4, converting the hydraulic fluid into thrust. When the braking is released, the by-wire piston 4 returns to its initial position under the action of the by-wire return spring 6, and the liquid in the valve core push rod 8 returns to the oil pot through the oil return port 14.

[0039] This piston assembly adopts a piston-in-piston structure and uses the sealing leather cup 9 to separate the piston actions of manual braking and by-wire braking. The structure is novel and simple, not easily worn, and easy to produce and process.
