[0022] In the embodiment, the air cylinders are provided with four groups, which are respectively air cylinder one 25, air cylinder two 26, air cylinder three 27 and air cylinder four 28. The air cylinder one 25 and the air cylinder two 26 are respectively connected to the air control circuits of the proportional relay valves of the front and rear axles of the vehicle, and are respectively used for adjusting the brake chamber air pressure of the front and rear axles of the vehicle. The air cylinder three 27 is used for the parking circuit, and the air cylinder four 28 is used for auxiliary braking.

[0023] In the embodiment, the air cylinder is provided with a drain valve.

[0024] In the embodiment, the brake valve 6 is a double-cavity tandem brake valve.

[0025] In the embodiment, the brake valve 6 is a double-cavity tandem brake valve.

[0026] Specifically, the brake valve 6 includes two air inlets and two air outlets, and is integrated with two displacement sensors, which can output the same voltage signal according to the pedal stroke. When a driver steps on the brake pedal of the brake valve 6, the brake valve 6 outputs air pressure, and the air pressure sensor one 21 and the air pressure sensor two 22 can identify the brake intention of the driver and the action of stepping on the brake pedal of the brake valve 6. The two air pressure sensors one 21 and the air pressure sensor two 22 can output the same pedal stroke signal according to the pedal stroke of the brake valve 6. At the same time, the automobile electronic control unit 5 outputs two control signals to the proportional relay valve according to the input signal, and controls the on-off of the proportional relay valve.

[0027] The proportional relay valve can realize air control and electric control, including an air inlet, an air outlet, an exhaust port, an air control interface and an electric control interface, wherein the air inlet is connected with the air cylinder through a pipeline, the air outlet is communicated with the brake chamber through a pipeline, the exhaust port is used for exhausting air, the air control interface is communicated with one of the air outlets of the brake valve 6, and the electric control interface is connected with the electric control unit 5 of the automobile.

[0028] The working principle of the embodiment is as follows.

[0029] When the parking brake is released, the driver operates the hand brake valve 7 to make the air inlet and the air outlet of the hand brake valve 7 communicated, and the compressed air in the air cylinder three 27 enters the control port 7 of the differential relay valve 8 through the hand brake valve 7, so that the air inlet and the air outlet of the differential relay valve 8 are communicated, at this time, the compressed air in the air cylinder three 27 enters the spring cavities of the brake chambers two 12, 13 and 14 through the differential relay valve 8, and the parking brake is released.

[0030] When the driver steps on the brake pedal of the brake valve 6, the air inlet and the air outlet of the brake valve 6 are communicated, and the compressed air in the air cylinder one 25 and the air cylinder two 26 enters the proportional relay valve through the brake valve 6, in this process, the air pressure sensor one 21 and the air pressure sensor two 22 at the air outlet of the brake valve 6 transmit the air pressure signal to the automobile electric control unit 1, the automobile electric control unit 1 judges that there is a driver through the air pressure signal, at this time, the proportional relay valve receives the air path control signal and responds, at this time, the proportional relay valve is not controlled by the signal generated by the displacement sensor integrated in the brake valve 6, when there is a driver, the brake valve 6 line control loop can be used as the redundancy of the air control loop, when the air control loop of the brake valve 6 cannot establish pressure due to air leakage fault, the air pressure sensor one 21 and the air pressure sensor two 22 on the brake valve 6 have no signal, the automobile electric control unit 1 can receive the displacement sensor signal of the brake valve 6 to control the action of the proportional relay valve 5.

[0031] When the vehicle needs to be parked, the electromagnetic valve 10 receives the signal, and the air inlet and air outlet of the electromagnetic valve 10 are disconnected, and at the same time, the air outlet and the exhaust port of the electromagnetic valve 10 are connected, the compressed air in the differential relay valve 8 control port loop is discharged through the exhaust port of the electromagnetic valve 10, the air inlet and the air outlet of the differential relay valve 8 are disconnected, and the compressed air in the spring cavities of the brake chambers 12, 13 and 14 is discharged through the exhaust port of the differential relay valve 8, and the springs in the brake chambers 12, 13 and 14 push the push rods to perform parking brake.

[0032] When the vehicle needs to be braked, the vehicle controller sends a braking demand to the automobile electronic control unit 5, the automobile electronic control unit 5 outputs a control signal to the electric control interface of the proportional relay valve through the signal to control the air pressure output of the proportional relay valve, and the compressed air in the air cylinders 25 and 26 enters the brake chamber through the proportional relay valve, and the push rod of the chamber acts on the wheel brake to brake. The air pressure output of the proportional relay valve has a certain curve relationship with the braking force of the wheel brake, and during the braking process, the air pressure sensors 23 and 24 of the air outlet of the proportional relay valve 16 and the proportional relay valve 3 collect the air pressure signals and feed back to the automobile electronic control unit 5, when the braking force represented by the air pressure signal does not meet the demand issued by the vehicle controller, the automobile electronic control unit 5 adjusts the output air pressure by adjusting the opening degree of the proportional relay valve, forming a control closed loop.

[0033] When the vehicle is in the parking state, the differential relay valve 8 receives the compressed air provided from the air outlet of the proportional relay valve 2 to connect the air inlet and the air outlet of the differential relay valve 8, and the parking brake is released. That is, the parking brake does not work when the service brake is working, and the purpose is to prevent the push rod from being deformed or the brake from being faulty due to the superimposed force of the chamber push rod and the superimposed force of the chamber service cavity and the parking cavity.

[0034] The preferred embodiments of the utility model are only used for limiting the utility model, and the utility model can have various changes and changes for the person skilled in the art. Any modification, equivalent replacement, improvement and the like made within the spirit and principle of the utility model should be included in the protection scope of the utility model.
