Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the field of tractors, in particular to an air brake system with feedback for tractors. Background Art
[0002] With the increasing popularity of high-horsepower tractors, the use of tractors adapted to trailers is increasing both domestically and internationally. This has led to increasing customer demands for tractor trailer brakes, particularly regarding the ergonomics and reliability of the trailer brake system. Currently, tractor trailer brake systems have a single function, with exhaust volume varying with engine speed. Once the engine speed stabilizes, the air compressor delivers compressed air at full capacity. This reduces the life of the exhaust valve and increases the frequency of exhaust valve exhaust, which is accompanied by a sharp exhaust sound, seriously impacting the driver's experience. Furthermore, due to regulatory adjustments in some regions, single- and dual-circuit air brake trailers are now available on the market. Traditional single-configuration tractor trailer brake systems feature either a single- or dual-circuit brake system, significantly inconvenient for customers, who must use at least two tractors with different configurations to adapt their trailers.

[0005] The beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows: the single-circuit air brake mechanism and the dual-circuit air brake mechanism are conducive to compatibility with single-line air brake trailers and dual-line air brake trailers; at the same time, the mutual connection between the self-circulating air compressor and the drying tank also increases the air compressor control circuit, when the trailer brake system is inflated to the set pressure value, the piston valve of the air compressor is opened, so that the two pistons of the air compressor are connected for self-circulation, which reduces energy consumption and can also greatly reduce the exhaust frequency of the exhaust valve, which also greatly improves the service life of the exhaust valve; in addition, since an air compressor with a self-circulation function is selected, only a small amount of gas participates in the circulation when the air compressor is self-circulating, compared with an air compressor without self-circulation, an air compressor with a larger displacement can be selected to adapt to the tractor.
[0006] On the basis of the above technical solution, the present invention can also be improved as follows.

[0011] Furthermore, the single-circuit air brake mechanism is a single-line trailer valve, the air outlet port of the pressure limiting valve is connected to the single-circuit trailer valve through a pipeline, and the single-circuit trailer valve is connected to the first air cap connector and the third air cap connector.
[0012] The beneficial effect of adopting the above further solution is that the pressure limiting valve is connected to the single-line trailer valve, which is conducive to inputting the compressed gas stored in the gas tank into the single-line trailer valve, thereby achieving braking of the single-line trailer.
[0013] Furthermore, the dual-circuit air brake mechanism includes: a pre-brake solenoid valve, a dual-circuit trailer valve, a parking solenoid valve and a double check valve; the outlet port of the pressure limiting valve is connected to the pre-brake solenoid valve and the dual-circuit trailer valve through a pipeline, the pre-brake solenoid valve and the dual-circuit trailer valve are connected through a pipeline, the dual-circuit trailer valve is divided into three pipelines and are respectively connected to the second air cap connector, the parking solenoid valve and the double check valve, the parking solenoid valve and the double check valve are connected through a pipeline, and the double check valve is connected to the third air cap connector through a pipeline.
[0014] The beneficial effects of adopting the above-mentioned further scheme are: the pre-brake solenoid valve is conducive to making the trailer enter the braking state in advance, avoiding the rear trailer from colliding with the front tractor in the braking state; the double one-way valve is conducive to allowing the pressure air source to enter the third air cover joint through the double one-way valve when the dual-pipeline trailer valve is reversed, thereby controlling the trailer braking; the parking solenoid valve is conducive to releasing the parking brake after the power is reversed.
[0015] Furthermore, the dual-line trailer valve is connected to the tractor hydraulic oil tank through a service brake oil circuit.
[0016] The beneficial effect of adopting the above further solution is that the service brake oil circuit is conducive to applying the service brake pressure oil of the tractor to the dual-line trailer valve when the external brake pedal is stepped on, thereby reversing the dual-line trailer valve.
[0017] Furthermore, a drain valve for discharging liquid in the gas storage tank is provided on the side wall of the gas storage tank.
[0018] The beneficial effect of adopting the above further solution is that the drain valve is conducive to discharging the liquid mixed in the compressed air, thereby preventing the liquid in the compressed air from participating in braking along with the compressed air.
[0019] Furthermore, a pressure gauge for detecting the internal pressure of the gas storage tank is also provided on the side wall of the gas storage tank.
