[0022] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the embodiments described are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0023] like Figures 1-4 As shown, the utility model provides a technical solution:

[0024] A parking brake system includes an air reservoir 1, the air inlet end of the air reservoir 1 is connected to an air pump for storing gas compressed by the air pump, the air outlet end of the air reservoir 1 is connected to a three-position four-way solenoid valve 2, the three-position four-way solenoid valve 2 is connected to a parking brake air chamber 3 and a transmission power cut-off cylinder 4, the parking brake air chamber 3 is connected to a transmission parking brake 5 for braking and parking, preferably, its connection structure is consistent with the existing structural setting, the transmission power cut-off cylinder 4 is connected to a transmission 6 speed change valve 7 for cutting off the pressure oil entering the speed change valve 7 when the air is cut off, so that the speed change valve 7 is in a neutral state.

[0025] In this embodiment, the three-position four-way solenoid valve 2 is connected to the parking brake switch, which includes three gears: parking gear, driving gear and emergency brake gear, and is used to control the three-position four-way solenoid valve 2 to be in the corresponding parking state, driving state and emergency brake state. Preferably, the parking brake switch uses a three-speed switch commonly used on the market, which is simple to connect and economical.

[0026] In this embodiment, connecting pipes are also included. The connecting pipes are flexible hoses capable of transmitting high-pressure gas, including connecting pipe one 8, connecting pipe two 9 and connecting pipe three 10. Connecting pipe one 8 connects the air reservoir 1 and the three-position four-way solenoid valve 2, connecting pipe two 9 connects the parking brake air chamber 3 and the three-position four-way solenoid valve 2, and connecting pipe three 10 connects the transmission power cut-off cylinder 4 and the three-position four-way solenoid valve 2, and is used to transmit high-pressure gas to control the parking brake air chamber 3 and the transmission power cut-off cylinder 4 to operate.

[0027] In this embodiment, the three-position four-way solenoid valve 2 includes four interfaces, wherein the first interface is connected to the air reservoir 1 through the connecting pipe 1 8, the second interface is directly connected to the atmosphere, the third interface is connected to the parking brake air chamber 3 through the connecting pipe 2 9, and the fourth interface is connected to the transmission power cut-off cylinder 4 through the connecting pipe 3 10.

[0028] In this embodiment, when the three-position four-way solenoid valve 2 is in the parking state, the second interface is connected to the third interface and the fourth interface at the same time, and the first interface is closed to discharge the gas in the parking brake air chamber 3 and the transmission power cut-off cylinder 4; when the three-position four-way solenoid valve 2 is in the driving state, the first interface is connected to the third interface and the fourth interface at the same time to deliver the high-pressure gas in the air reservoir 1 to the parking brake air chamber 3 and the transmission power cut-off cylinder 4, so that the parking brake air chamber 3 and the transmission power cut-off cylinder 4 are actuated; when the three-position four-way solenoid valve 2 is in the emergency braking state, the first interface is connected to the fourth interface, and the second interface is connected to the third interface, so that the parking brake air chamber 3 is braked but the power is not cut off, which is safer.

[0029] In this embodiment, the three-position four-way solenoid valve 2 and the air reservoir 1 are both arranged on the vehicle body, and the transmission power cut-off cylinder 4 is arranged on the speed change valve 7 of the transmission 6, thereby improving the stability of the system.

[0030] In another embodiment, a drain valve 11 and a safety valve 12 are also included, both of which are connected to the air cylinder 1. Since there is water vapor in the compressed air, the water vapor will condense into liquid water in the air cylinder 1. The drain valve 11 is connected to the bottom of the air cylinder 1 to discharge the water in the air cylinder 1, thereby increasing the capacity of the compressed air and reducing the weight of the vehicle body; the safety valve 12 is connected to the top of the air cylinder 1 to release air to the external atmosphere to avoid possible danger caused by excessive pressure in the air cylinder 1, thereby further improving the safety of the system.

[0031] Working principle: the parking brake chamber 3 is an air-cut brake. When high-pressure gas is passed into the parking brake chamber 3, the parking brake is released. The transmission power cut-off cylinder 4 is an air-cut power cut-off. When high-pressure gas is passed into the transmission power cut-off cylinder 4, the power cut-off is released. The parking brake and the driving brake share the compressed air in the air reservoir 1; when the parking control switch is in the parking gear, the three-position four-way solenoid valve 2 is in the middle position, and the parking brake chamber 3 and the transmission power cut-off cylinder 4 are both connected to the atmosphere through the three-position four-way solenoid valve 2, so that the vehicle can achieve power cut-off while the parking brake is in effect, that is, the speed change valve 7 is always in the neutral state, which ensures that the vehicle cannot drive when in the parking state, and fundamentally avoids the problem of sintering of the parking brake friction plate; when the parking control switch is in the driving gear, the three-position four-way solenoid valve 2 is in the middle position, and the parking brake chamber 3 and the transmission power cut-off cylinder 4 are both connected to the atmosphere through the three-position four-way solenoid valve 2, so that the vehicle can achieve power cut-off while in the parking brake. That is, the speed change valve 7 is always in the neutral state, which ensures that the vehicle cannot drive when in the parking state, and fundamentally avoids the problem of sintering of the parking brake friction plate; when the parking control switch is in the driving gear, the three-position four-way solenoid valve When the magnetic valve 2 is in the right position, the compressed air in the air reservoir 1 enters from the first interface of the three-position four-way solenoid valve 2, and enters the parking brake air chamber 3 and the transmission power cut-off cylinder 4 through the third interface and the fourth interface respectively. At this time, the vehicle parking brake is released, the power cut-off is released, and the vehicle can drive normally; when the parking control switch is in the emergency brake gear, the solenoid valve is in the left position, the parking brake air chamber 3 is connected to the atmosphere through the second interface of the three-position four-way solenoid valve 2, and the compressed air in the air reservoir 1 enters the transmission power cut-off cylinder 4 from the first interface of the three-position four-way solenoid valve 2 through the fourth interface. At this time, the vehicle is in the parking brake state, but the power cut-off is released. This state prevents the vehicle from sliding in neutral when emergency braking is required during driving, thus avoiding danger and improving safety.
