[0027] In order to better understand the technical solution of the present application, the embodiments of the present application are described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0028] like Figure 1-5 As shown, a valve body and a vehicle brake system operation control component are provided, including a valve body main body 10 and an internal oil circuit 20.

[0029] The valve body 10 is a block structure, which includes a solenoid valve mounting surface 101, a motor mounting surface 102 arranged parallel to the solenoid valve mounting surface 101, a bracket connecting surface 103 connecting the solenoid valve mounting surface 101 and the motor mounting surface 102 and arranged perpendicular to the two, and a master cylinder base mounting surface 104 arranged parallel to the bracket connecting surface 103. The solenoid valve mounting surface 101 is provided with a solenoid valve mounting hole 1011 and a pressure sensor mounting hole 1012.

[0030] like Figure 2 As shown, in one embodiment, the solenoid valve mounting surface 101 is also provided with a pedal position sensor mounting hole 1013, a pedal simulator accommodating cavity 1014, a leak-proof groove 1015, a weight reduction groove 1016, a plunger assembly mounting hole 1021, a rotor position sensor mounting hole 1022 and a motor pin mounting hole 1023. The plunger assembly mounting hole 1021, the rotor position sensor mounting hole 1022 and the motor pin mounting hole 1023 all pass through the valve body 10 from the solenoid valve mounting surface 101 and extend to the motor mounting surface 102.

[0031] It can be understood that the mounting holes of the present invention are concentratedly distributed on the solenoid valve mounting surface 101. Compared with the multi-surface scattered setting, it is conducive to the subsequent one-time assembly with the control unit, simplifies the assembly process, improves the assembly efficiency, and avoids the assembly failure caused by damage to the precision electronic components during the complicated assembly process.

[0032] like Figure 2 As shown, in one embodiment, an anti-error step 2.6 mm higher than the solenoid valve mounting surface 101 is provided on the periphery of the pressure sensor mounting hole 1012 .

[0033] It is understandable that the pressure sensor mounting hole 1012 and the adjacent steel ball riveting hole for sealing the oil circuit are both set to a diameter of 3.2 mm. While reducing the processing tool change process, improving processing efficiency, and reducing processing costs, it also causes the problem of assembly mis-pressing. Setting an anti-error step 2.6 mm higher than the solenoid valve mounting surface 101 not only retains the processing convenience advantage of avoiding multiple tool changes under the same processing diameter, but also clearly distinguishes the pressure sensor mounting hole 1012 from the adjacent steel ball riveting hole for sealing the oil circuit. At the same time, the geometric boundary is not excessively extended in structure, thereby ensuring the compactness of the valve body 10.

[0034] like Figure 2 As shown, in one embodiment, the pedal position sensor mounting hole 1013 includes a positioning riveting mounting hole.

[0035] It can be understood that the positioning rivet hole, on the one hand, provides a guarantee for the correctness of the riveted assembly position of the pedal position sensor, and on the other hand, it also plays a limiting role, avoiding the circumferential rotation of the sensor caused by vibration during long-term use and resulting in assembly misalignment and failure, thereby improving the reliability of the pedal position sensor.

[0036] like Figure 1-5 As shown, in one embodiment, the motor mounting surface 102 is provided with a fluid outlet 1024 for connecting to the brake wheel cylinder. The bracket connecting surface 103 is provided with a brake master cylinder mounting hole 1031 that penetrates the valve body main body 10 and extends to the master cylinder base mounting surface 104, as well as a magnetic strip assembly mounting hole 1032 that is parallel to the centerline of the brake master cylinder mounting hole 1031. The valve body main body 10 also includes a leak hole mounting surface 105 and an oil pot mounting surface 106 that is arranged parallel to the leak hole mounting surface 105. The solenoid valve mounting surface 101 connects the leak hole mounting surface 105 and the oil pot mounting surface 106 and is arranged perpendicular to both. The leak hole mounting surface 105 is provided with a leak hole 1051 for connecting the plunger assembly to the anti-leakage groove 1015. The oil pot mounting surface 106 is also provided with an oil pot mounting hole 1061.

[0037] As will be understood, the oil tank is mounted on the oil tank mounting surface 106, supplying oil to the entire internal oil circuit 20. Three oil tank mounting holes 1061 are provided, corresponding to the three zones of the oil tank. These zones are interconnected, ensuring that the oil circuits in each zone perform their corresponding functions while also providing backup for each other, thereby improving the operational reliability of each zone. The provision of the magnetic strip assembly mounting hole 1032 ensures reliable and accurate acquisition of the master cylinder displacement signal while preventing the magnetic strip assembly from being corroded by brake fluid or adhering to free impurities within the brake fluid, leading to poor or even no sensing.

[0038] like Figure 2 As shown, in one embodiment, the central axis of the solenoid valve mounting hole 1011 is arranged parallel to the central axis of the pressure sensor mounting hole 1012, the central axis of the pedal position sensor mounting hole 1013, the central axis of the pedal simulator accommodating cavity 1014, the central axis of the leak-proof groove 1015 and the central axis of the weight-reducing groove 1016.

[0039] like Figure 1-5 As shown, in one embodiment, the center axis of the plunger assembly mounting hole 1021, the center axis of the rotor position sensor mounting hole 1022, the center axis of the motor pin mounting hole 1023, and the center axis of the liquid outlet 1024 are all arranged parallel to the center axis of the magnetic stripe assembly mounting hole 1032, and the center axis of the plunger assembly mounting hole 1021 is arranged perpendicular to the center axis of the brake master cylinder mounting hole 1031.

[0040] like Figure 1-5As shown, in one embodiment, the central axis of the leakage hole 1051 is arranged parallel to the central axis of the oil tank mounting hole 1061 and is respectively arranged perpendicular to the central axis of the anti-leakage groove 1015 and the central axis of the brake master cylinder mounting hole 1031.

[0041] As can be understood, compared to a coaxial arrangement, the center axis of leak-proof groove 1015 is perpendicular to the center axis of leak hole 1051. This effectively reduces backflow of absorbed brake fluid due to vibration and jolts while absorbing leaked brake fluid. This enhances the functionality of leak-proof groove 1015 and extends the service life of the plunger assembly. The centerline of third oil passage 203 intersects with the centerlines of first oil passage 201 and second oil passage 202, respectively. Compared to an eccentric arrangement, this facilitates subsequent leveling and polishing of protrusions and burrs at the intersection, significantly reducing the possibility of machining debris and burrs contaminating the brake fluid during subsequent assembly operation, potentially causing malfunctions.

[0042] like Figure 2 As shown, in one embodiment, the solenoid valve mounting hole 1011 includes a normally closed valve mounting hole 1011a, a normally open valve mounting hole 1011b, a test separator valve mounting hole 1011f, a loop isolation valve mounting hole 1011c, a plunger isolation valve mounting hole 1011d and a simulator isolation valve mounting hole 1011e.

[0043] It is understood that the normally closed valve and normally open valve are mounted on the solenoid valve mounting surface 101 and connected to the brake oil outlet via the internal oil circuit 20, providing an anti-lock braking function and improving braking safety. The circuit isolation valve and plunger isolation valve are mounted on the solenoid valve mounting surface 101 and control the master cylinder and plunger to access the normally closed valve and normally open valve circuits respectively through the internal oil circuit 20, fully decoupling the master cylinder and plunger, thus resolving the problem of the lack of a vacuum booster in the wire control brake system. The simulator isolation valve is mounted on the solenoid valve mounting surface 101 and controls the simulator to access the master cylinder circuit via the internal oil circuit 20, providing the driver with a pedaling reaction force and optimizing driving comfort. The test separator valve is mounted on the solenoid valve mounting surface 101 and detects the hydraulic braking force of the oil circuit via the internal oil circuit 20, providing a fault warning function and enhancing driving safety.

[0044] Internal oil circuit 20 is located within valve body 10 and includes a first oil circuit 201, a second oil circuit 202, and a third oil circuit 203 that connects the first and second oil circuits 201, 202, and the remaining components. The centerline of third oil circuit 203 perpendicularly intersects the centerlines of first and second oil circuits 201 and 202, respectively. First oil circuit 201 is coaxial with solenoid valve mounting hole 1011, while second oil circuit 202 is coaxial with pressure sensor mounting hole 1012.

[0045] Figure 3 include Figure 2 The AA and BB cross-sectional views show the specific structure of the internal oil circuit 20 inside the valve body 10, as shown in FIG. Figure 3 As shown, in one embodiment, the spacing between the center lines of the first oil circuit 201, the second oil circuit 202 and the third oil circuit 203 is greater than 5.2 mm; the spacing between the center lines of the first oil circuit 201, the second oil circuit 202 and the third oil circuit 203 and the corresponding parallel outer surfaces of the valve body main body 10 is greater than 2 mm; the spacing between the center of the intersection of the third oil circuit 203 with the first oil circuit 201 and the second oil circuit 202 and the corresponding parallel outer surfaces of the valve body main body 10 is greater than 5.1 mm.

[0046] It is understood that the spacing between the centerlines of the first, second, and third oil circuits 201, 202, and 203 is greater than 5.2 mm, which prevents the collapse of the oil circuit walls, which can cause adverse effects such as brake fluid crossflow, while ensuring the compactness of the oil circuit distribution structure. The spacing between the centerlines of the first, second, and third oil circuits 201, 202, and 203 and the corresponding parallel outer surfaces of the valve body 10 is greater than 2 mm, which prevents the plastic deformation of the inner walls of the oil circuits during subsequent riveting of steel balls into the oil ports from affecting the flatness of the corresponding outer surfaces of the valve body, thereby interfering with the subsequent assembly of other hydraulic structural components. The spacing between the center of the intersection of the third oil circuit 203 with the first and second oil circuits 201, 202 and the corresponding parallel outer surfaces of the valve body 10 is greater than 5.1 mm, which prevents the steel ball riveting from adversely affecting the fluidity of the brake fluid in the oil circuits.

[0047] In one embodiment, the oil inlet of the third oil passage 203 is disposed on a side surface of the third oil passage 203 and intersects with the bottom surface of the pedal simulator.

[0048] It can be understood that such a setting can ensure that when the brake master cylinder is actuated, the pedal simulator can stably intake oil and transmit hydraulic pressure. At the same time, it avoids the situation where the oil inlet is set higher than or perpendicular to the bottom surface of the pedal simulator, which causes uneven distribution of the brake fluid after intake, resulting in uneven force on the piston and thus unstable movement during the feeding action, causing noise, jamming and other faults.

[0049] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of one or more embodiments of this specification and is not intended to limit one or more embodiments of this specification. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principles of one or more embodiments of this specification shall be included in the scope of protection of one or more embodiments of this specification.
