[0027] For example, Figure 1 And Figure 2As shown, a pure electric vehicle air pressure braking system includes a vehicle controller 6, a brake master cylinder module 1, a BMS module 2, and an MCU module 5 connected to the vehicle controller 6. The MCU module 5 is connected to a motor 7. The system also includes an air reservoir and a solenoid valve connected to the vehicle controller 6. One end of the air reservoir is connected to the control port of a relay valve after passing through the brake master cylinder module 1 and the solenoid valve in sequence. The air source interface of the relay valve is connected to the other end of the air reservoir, and the air outlet of the relay valve is connected to the brake chamber of the wheel.

[0029] The working principle of this embodiment is explained below:

[0030] like Figure 3 As shown, during the operation of the pure electric vehicle, the BMS module 2 synchronizes the SOC value of the power battery to the vehicle controller 6 in real time via the CAN bus. When the battery SOC is greater than 90%, and the brake pedal is pressed, the V3 and V4 pins of the vehicle controller 6 have no voltage output, and the front axle ABS solenoid valve 3 and the rear axle ABS solenoid valve 4 are de-energized and connected. At this time, the compressed air from the front axle air reservoir 12 passes through the air inlet 12 and air outlet 22 of the brake master cylinder module 1, through the front axle ABS solenoid valve 3, and reaches the front axle relay valve 8. The 4 ports control the 1 port of the front axle relay valve 8 to send the compressed air in the front axle air reservoir 12 to the front axle brake chamber 10 through the 2 port of the front axle relay valve 8, thereby achieving front wheel braking. At the same time, the compressed air in the rear axle air reservoir 13 passes through the air inlet 11 and air outlet 21 of the brake master cylinder module 1, and through the rear axle ABS solenoid valve 4 to reach the 4 port of the rear axle relay valve 9. The 1 port of the rear axle relay valve 9 controls the 2 port of the rear axle relay valve 9 to send the compressed air in the rear axle air reservoir 13 to the rear axle brake chamber 11, thereby achieving rear wheel braking.

[0031] When the battery's state of charge (SOC) is no greater than 90%:

[0032] 1、When the brake pedal is pressed to 30% of the pedal stroke, the V3 and V4 pins of the vehicle controller 6 output voltage signals, and the front axle ABS solenoid valve 3 and the rear axle ABS solenoid valve 4 are powered off. At this time, only the motor 7 electric feedback brake, the brake process is: the brake master cylinder module 1 outputs an analog voltage signal to the V2 pin of the vehicle controller 6, and the vehicle controller 6 outputs a request signal of corresponding size to the motor controller MCU module 5 according to the voltage signal size. The motor controller MCU module 5 controls the motor 7 to reverse, the motor 7 generates electricity while realizing vehicle braking, and then charges the power battery.

[0033] 2、When the brake pedal is pressed more than 30% of the stroke, the V3 and V4 pins of the vehicle controller 6 have no voltage output, and the front axle ABS solenoid valve 3 and the rear axle ABS solenoid valve 4 are powered on. To the front axle relay valve 4, control the 1 port of the front axle relay valve 8 to send the compressed air in the front axle air reservoir 12 to the front axle brake chamber 10 through the 2 port of the front axle relay valve 8, realize the front wheel brake, at the same time, the compressed air of the rear axle air reservoir 13 passes through the air inlet 11 port and the air outlet 21 port of the brake master cylinder module 1, the rear axle ABS solenoid valve 4, and reaches the 4 port of the rear axle relay valve 9, controls the 1 port of the rear axle relay valve 9 to send the compressed air in the rear axle air reservoir 13 to the rear axle brake chamber 11 through the 2 port of the rear axle relay valve 9, realizes the rear wheel brake. In this process, there is also electric feedback braking.

[0034] The brake master cylinder module in the embodiment can output analog voltage signals, and the air pressure output has small idle stroke; the air outlet 21 port and the air outlet 22 port of the brake master cylinder module 1 are directly connected with the corresponding relay valve 4 port through an ABS solenoid valve; the ABS solenoid valve is an electromagnetic valve used in the embodiment, and other normally-on electromagnetic valves can also be used in the patent range; for convenience of description, the battery capacity greater than or less than 90% is taken as the threshold range, and other pure electric vehicles can set the value to other numerical values, which are also in the patent range; whether the front axle ABS solenoid valve and the rear axle ABS solenoid valve are conductive is controlled by the vehicle controller. When the vehicle SOC is greater than 90%, the ABS solenoid valve is in the powered-off conductive state, and when the SOC value is not greater than 90%, the brake pedal opening needs to be judged. When the brake pedal is just pressed, the ABS solenoid valve is powered off when the brake pedal opening reaches 30%, and the ABS solenoid valve is powered on when the pedal opening is greater than 30%.
