[0039] Example 1

[0040] like Figure 1 As shown, this embodiment provides an electronically controlled parking brake valve group for a tractor, comprising a control valve 1 and a solenoid valve 2. The control valve 1 is provided with an oil inlet P, an oil return port T, and an oil outlet. The oil outlet can be communicated with the oil inlet P or the oil return port T. A valve core mechanical push rod 5 at one end of the control valve 1 is used to connect to the handbrake push rod of the tractor.

[0041] The solenoid valve 2 is provided with an oil inlet interface, an oil outlet interface A and an oil return interface. The oil outlet interface A can be connected to the oil inlet interface or the oil return interface; the oil inlet interface is connected to the oil outlet through a pipeline, and the oil outlet interface A is used to connect to the actuator.

[0042] Under normal circumstances, the handbrake is not in operation and the solenoid valve is not energized. At this time, the valve core of the control valve is in the lower position and the valve core of the solenoid valve is in the upper position. At this time, the oil return port T is connected to the oil outlet port A, and the vehicle is in the braking state;

[0043] When the vehicle is started and powered on, the solenoid valve is energized and the valve core is in the lower position. At this time, the oil return port T is connected to the oil outlet interface A, and the vehicle is in the braking state; when the vehicle is driving, the parking brake is released, the valve core of the control valve is in the upper position, and the solenoid valve is de-energized, so that the valve core is in the upper position. At this time, the oil inlet port P is connected to the oil outlet interface A to release the brake;

[0044] When parking on a slope, the parking brake is applied, and the control valve's spool is in the lower position. This connects the oil return port T to the oil outlet port A, putting the vehicle in a braking state. During emergency braking, the solenoid valve is energized, the spool is in the lower position, and the oil return port T connects to the oil outlet port A, putting the vehicle in a braking state. Based on the above solution, the oil inlet P is connected to an oil supply port, such as a fuel tank, while the oil return port T is connected to the fuel tank.

[0045] In addition, the valve core mechanical push rod 5 of the control valve 1 is connected to the handbrake push rod of the tractor. By pulling up or releasing the handbrake, the push rod is controlled, and then the reversing of the valve core of the valve 1 is controlled.

[0046] Moreover, the solenoid valve 2 controls the valve core to switch by being energized or de-energized.

[0047] This embodiment has a simple structure and reasonable design. The parking brake is controlled by both electronic and manual control, which is safer and has a faster response time. In addition, it can be combined with the service brake to achieve emergency braking and braking under unmanned driving.

[0052] On the basis of Example 2, in this embodiment, a throttle valve 7 is installed on the hydraulic control oil circuit 6 .

[0056] This solution has a simple structure and reasonable design. The oil return port T and the oil return interface are merged into one oil tank, which makes the pipeline distribution simpler and the cost low.

[0057] Alternatively, the oil return port T and the oil return interface may also be connected to the oil tank through pipelines respectively, but the pipeline distribution of this solution is relatively complicated.

[0058] Example 5

[0059] On the basis of embodiment 4, in this embodiment, the oil drain circuit in the control valve 1 is connected to the oil return port T through the unloading oil passage 4 .

[0060] The unloading oil circuit 4 is connected to the oil drain circuit inside the valve body of the control valve 1. Firstly, it can prevent the pressure from increasing due to leakage of the valve core of the control valve 1 itself, which will make the handbrake heavier and affect the braking effect; in addition, during the process of pulling up the handbrake, the residual gas in the oil channel can be discharged to prevent other problems caused by the presence of gas.

[0061] Example 6

[0062] On the basis of the above embodiments, in this embodiment, the control valve 1 is a three-position three-way valve, and the solenoid valve 2 is a two-position three-way valve.

[0067] Example 8

[0068] On the basis of Example 7, this embodiment further includes a handbrake push rod, which is connected to one end of the control valve 1.

[0069] The solution has a simple structure and a reasonable design. During operation, the operator manually operates the handbrake push rod to change the position of the control valve core, which is easy to operate and saves time and effort.

[0070] Example 9

[0071] On the basis of any one of Examples 7 to 8, this embodiment further includes an actuator, which is connected to the oil outlet port A through a pipeline.

[0072] This solution has a simple structure and reasonable design, and utilizes the oil delivered from the oil outlet port A to drive the actuator to operate.

[0073] Example 10

[0074] Based on Example 9, in this embodiment, the actuator is a brake.

[0075] This solution has a simple structure and reasonable design, and utilizes the oil delivered from the oil outlet interface A to drive the brake to operate.

[0076] The working principle of this utility model is as follows:

[0077] Under normal circumstances, the handbrake is not in operation and the solenoid valve is not energized. At this time, the valve core of the control valve is in the lower position and the valve core of the solenoid valve is in the upper position. At this time, the oil return port T is connected to the oil outlet port A, and the vehicle is in the braking state;

[0078] When the vehicle is started and powered on, the solenoid valve is energized and the valve core is in the lower position. At this time, the oil return port T is connected to the oil outlet interface A, and the vehicle is in the braking state; when the vehicle is driving, the parking brake is released, the valve core of the control valve is in the upper position, and the solenoid valve is de-energized, so that the valve core is in the upper position. At this time, the oil inlet port P is connected to the oil outlet interface A to release the brake;

[0079] When parking on a slope, pull the handbrake and the valve core of the control valve is in the lower position. At this time, the oil return port T is connected to the oil outlet interface A, and the vehicle is in a braking state. During emergency braking, the solenoid valve is energized and the valve core is in the lower position. At this time, the oil return port T is connected to the oil outlet interface A, and the vehicle is in a braking state.

[0080] This valve group is controlled by the valve core a of the control valve 1 and the valve core b of the solenoid valve 2. To release the parking brake, the following conditions must be met simultaneously: ① When the parking brake is released, the valve core b is in the upper position under the action of the push rod; ② When the solenoid valve 2 loses power, the valve core a is in the upper position under the action of the spring or the electromagnetic force of the energized solenoid valve. At this time, the oil inlet P and the oil outlet A are connected, which expands the disc spring in the brake and releases the brake.

[0081] Parking: During normal tractor driving, the brakes are released, and at the same time, conditions ①② are met, valve core a and valve core b are in the upper position. At this time, ③ the handbrake is pulled up, and the valve core b moves up under the action of the push rod and moves to the lower position. At this time, the oil outlet interface A is connected to the oil return port T, and the disc spring of the brake is tightened to form a brake; or ④ the solenoid valve 2 is energized, and the valve core a moves to the lower position under the action of the electromagnetic force. At this time, the oil outlet interface A is connected to the oil return port T through the internal oil circuit of the valve body, and the disc spring of the brake is tightened to form a brake.

[0082] In addition, since the valve core a can be reversed by electronic control, it can be achieved in emergency braking and unmanned driving situations. By associating the solenoid valve 2 with the emergency braking signal or the unmanned driving braking signal, braking can be achieved together with the tractor's service braking system, thereby improving braking performance and providing a layer of safety protection.

[0083] It should be noted that all electronic components involved in the present invention adopt existing technologies, and the above components are electrically connected to the controller, and the control circuits between the controller and the components are existing technologies.

[0084] The dotted boxes in the accompanying drawings have no other substantial meanings and merely indicate that the components within the boxes constitute the brake valve group.

[0085] It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that the present invention is not limited to the details of the exemplary embodiments described above and that the present invention can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or essential characteristics of the present invention. Therefore, the embodiments should be considered in all respects as illustrative and non-restrictive, and the scope of the present invention is defined by the appended claims, not the foregoing description, and all variations within the meaning and range of equivalents of the claims are intended to be encompassed within the present invention.
