A coil mounting frame 14 is installed between the support blocks 12. The intake solenoid valve 9, the exhaust solenoid valve 10 and the backup pressure solenoid valve 11 are installed on the coil mounting frame 14.
[0048] As a preferred embodiment:
[0049] The air inlet 5 and the air inlet chamber 2 are connected by a first channel 15.
[0050] The lower part of the air intake chamber 2 and the upper part of the exhaust chamber 3 are connected by a second channel 16.

[0055] As a preferred embodiment:

[0057] The sensor assembly 21 is connected to the air inlet 5, the air outlet 6, the exhaust outlet 7, and the control port 8.
[0058] As a preferred embodiment:
[0059] The top of the support block 12 is also equipped with a circuit board 22, and the top of the circuit board 22 is equipped with a circuit board protective shell 23. The circuit board is used to integrate the control circuits of each solenoid valve.
[0060] As a preferred embodiment:
[0061] The intake solenoid valve 9 and exhaust solenoid valve 10 are normally closed valves, while the backup pressure solenoid valve 11 is a normally open valve.
[0062] The specific usage method of this embodiment is as follows:
[0063] Electrical control operating status: Intake solenoid valve is energized, exhaust solenoid valve is de-energized, and backup pressure solenoid valve is energized.
[0064] The air inlet 5 and the control port 8 are connected to a stable high-pressure air source. The air intake solenoid coil assembly 24 is energized, and the electromagnetic force attracts the moving iron core 25 of the air intake solenoid valve to move upward, opening the air intake channel (the first channel 15 is connected to the second channel 16), so that compressed air enters the exhaust chamber 3 (connected to the air outlet 6).
[0065] When the exhaust solenoid coil assembly 26 is de-energized, the moving iron core 27 of the exhaust solenoid valve is pressed tightly against the valve seat 29 of the exhaust solenoid valve under the spring force of the exhaust solenoid valve spring 28, thus closing the exhaust passage (the third passage 17 and the fifth passage 19 are closed).
[0066] When the backup pressure valve solenoid coil assembly 30 is energized, the electromagnetic force attracts the moving iron core 31 of the backup pressure solenoid valve to move downward, thus closing the backup pressure air passage (the fourth channel 18 and the sixth channel 20 are closed).
[0067] The air source passes from the air inlet 5 through the air inlet solenoid valve 9 to the air outlet 6, and the pressure inside the air outlet 6 can be read by the sensor assembly 21.
[0068] The operating status of each solenoid valve under normal electrically controlled braking conditions was tested, which is the operating state for realizing the EBS braking function. The pressure boost response characteristics of the solenoid valve group under electrically controlled conditions were also tested.
[0069] Exhaust status: Intake solenoid valve is de-energized, exhaust solenoid valve is energized, and standby pressure solenoid valve is energized.
[0070] When the air inlet 5 and the control port 8 are connected to a stable high-pressure air source, the air intake solenoid coil assembly 24 is de-energized, and the moving iron core 25 of the air intake solenoid valve moves downward under the spring force of the air intake solenoid valve spring 32 and is in close contact with the air intake solenoid valve 33 (the first channel 15 and the second channel 16 are closed).
[0071] When the exhaust solenoid coil assembly 26 is energized, the moving iron core 27 of the exhaust solenoid valve moves upward under the action of electromagnetic force, opening the third channel 17 (which is connected to the exhaust port 6) between the exhaust chamber 3 and the exhaust port 7 (the third channel 17 is connected to the fifth channel 19).
[0072] When the backup pressure valve solenoid coil assembly 30 is energized, the electromagnetic force attracts the moving iron core 31 of the backup pressure solenoid valve to move downward, thus closing the backup pressure air passage (the fourth channel 18 and the sixth channel 20 are closed).
[0073] The brake working chamber (not shown in the figure) is connected to the air outlet 6, and the compressed air in the brake working chamber flows out from the exhaust port 7 through the exhaust solenoid valve 10.
[0074] The operating status of each solenoid valve in the EBS solenoid valve under electrically controlled conditions without braking was tested. This represents the operating status of the EBS solenoid valve when the braking function is not applied. The pressure reduction response characteristics of the solenoid valve assembly under electrically controlled conditions were also examined.
[0075] Operating status of the backup pressure valve: Intake solenoid valve de-energized, exhaust solenoid valve de-energized, backup pressure solenoid valve de-energized.
[0076] When the air inlet 5 and the control port 8 are connected to a stable high-pressure air source, the air intake solenoid coil assembly 24 is de-energized, and the moving iron core 25 of the air intake solenoid valve moves downward under the spring force of the air intake solenoid valve spring 32 and is in close contact with the valve seat 33 of the air intake solenoid valve (the first channel 15 and the second channel 16 are closed).
[0077] When the exhaust solenoid coil assembly 26 is de-energized, the moving iron core 27 of the exhaust solenoid valve is pressed tightly against the valve seat 29 of the exhaust solenoid valve under the spring force of the exhaust solenoid valve spring 28, thus closing the exhaust passage (the third passage 17 and the fifth passage 19 are closed).
[0078] When the backup pressure valve solenoid coil assembly 30 is de-energized, the moving iron core 31 of the backup pressure solenoid valve moves upward by the spring force of the backup pressure solenoid valve spring 21, and the moving iron core 31 of the backup pressure solenoid valve separates from the stationary iron core 23 of the backup pressure solenoid valve, opening the backup pressure channel (the fourth channel 18 is connected to the sixth channel 20).
[0079] The air source passes through the control port 8, the backup pressure solenoid valve 11, and the air outlet 6 directly to the brake working chamber.
[0080] The operating status of each solenoid valve was tested when the EBS solenoid valve performed braking under power-off conditions. This represents the operating status of the EBS solenoid valve when it achieves braking function under power-off conditions. The pressure boost response characteristics of the solenoid valve assembly in standby mode were also tested.
[0081] Exhaust valve operating independently: Intake solenoid valve de-energized, exhaust solenoid valve energized, backup pressure solenoid valve energized.
[0082] When the outlet 6 is connected to a stable high-pressure air source, the intake solenoid coil assembly 24 is de-energized, and the moving iron core 25 of the intake solenoid valve moves downward under the spring force of the intake solenoid valve spring 32 and is in close contact with the intake solenoid valve valve 33 (the first channel 15 and the second channel 16 are closed).
[0083] When the exhaust solenoid coil assembly 26 is energized, the moving iron core 27 of the exhaust solenoid valve moves upward under the action of electromagnetic force, opening the air passage between the brake working chamber and the exhaust port 7 (the third channel 17 and the fifth channel 19 in the figure are connected).
[0084] When the backup pressure valve solenoid coil assembly 30 is energized, the electromagnetic force attracts the moving iron core 31 of the backup pressure solenoid valve to move downward, thus closing the backup pressure air passage (the fourth channel 18 and the sixth channel 20 are closed).
[0085] The air source passes from the air outlet 6 through the exhaust solenoid valve 10 to the exhaust port 7, and its intake pressure can be read by the sensor assembly 21.
[0086] The exhaust solenoid valve was tested separately to evaluate its working condition.
[0087] The air outlet 6 is connected to the brake working chamber. That is, the air outlet 6 in the figure is the inlet of the brake working chamber (the brake working chamber is not shown in the figure. The air path is air source - test fixture - brake working chamber to form a closed loop). The result of all the actions of the test fixture is whether the brake working chamber is ventilated. In the actual function of EBS, it is whether the brake working chamber achieves braking due to the presence of compressed air.
[0088] The above technical solutions are only preferred embodiments of this utility model, but the protection scope of this utility model is not limited thereto. Any changes or substitutions that can be conceived by those skilled in the art without creative effort within the technical scope disclosed in this utility model are covered within the protection scope of this utility model.
