Detailed Implementation
[0034] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this utility model clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0035] In existing technology, the most commonly used simulator structure on the market mainly consists of three springs and interconnected parts. Its working process is as follows: when brake fluid enters the cylinder, it pushes the piston forward. The piston first compresses the small spring, while the large spring is also slightly compressed under the action of the small spring. After the piston contacts the small spring seat, the small spring stops compressing. Then, the large spring continues to compress until the push rod pushes the rubber spring. The piston reaches its limit after contacting the cover. After the hydraulic oil in the cylinder is released, the parts return to their initial positions under the action of the spring force. However, the piston stroke of the simulator is not exactly the same each time the brake is applied. Due to the arrangement, diameter, and stroke requirements of the large spring, the simulator is relatively large, occupies a lot of space, and the overall structure is not conducive to assembly, resulting in high manufacturing costs.
[0036] Example 1:
[0037] like Figure 1 As shown, in one embodiment, a pedal simulator for a hydraulically integrated brake includes: a cylinder body 1, a piston 2 installed inside the cylinder body 1, and a sealing ring 6 fitted onto the outside of the piston 2 through a mounting groove 22 to ensure sufficient mechanical feedback can be transmitted during operation. An inner groove 11 is provided in the middle of the cylinder body 1 for embedding the sealing ring 6. The sealing ring 6 effectively prevents brake fluid leakage, ensuring the system's sealing performance and pressure stability.
[0038] Furthermore, flow holes 12 are provided on the top and bottom of one side of the cylinder body 1. A cover 7 is riveted to the outside of the cylinder body 1. The cover 7 adopts a stepped structure with a first step 71 and a second step 72. This stepped design not only improves the stability of the structure but also allows for better connection with the cylinder body 1. Specifically, the first step 71 is riveted to the internal stepped groove 13 of the cylinder body 1, enhancing the stability between the cylinder body 1 and the cover 7 and the overall structural strength. The second step 72 is used to abut against the internally installed second spring 5. The step between the first step 71 and the second step 72 on the cover 7 can limit the stroke of the piston 2.
[0039] As Figure 1 shown in the embodiment, the top rod 3 connects the first spring 4 and the second spring 5, at this time the top rod 3 adopts a solid design, the two springs are connected in series, the first spring 4 and the second spring 5 jointly play a role of sharing the pressure of the pedal simulator, and ensure that the system can provide stable mechanical feedback under various loads. Among them, one end of the first spring 4 abuts against the piston 2, the other end of the first spring 4 abuts against the top rod 3, one end of the second spring 5 abuts against the top rod 3, and the top of the second spring 5 abuts against the inner wall of the cover 7. Through the series configuration, each spring can cooperate in the system operation, improving the overall load capacity and stability of the system.
[0040] Further, the piston 2 is provided with an inner recess 21 at the bottom, and the first spring 4 is installed in the inner recess 21 along the axis. The top rod 3 is provided with an inner embedding part 31 at the bottom, and the other end of the first spring 4 is installed in the inner embedding part 31 along the axis. The bottom of the top rod 3 is provided with an extension part 32, and the one end of the second spring 5 abuts against the extension part 32.
[0041] The first spring 4 is connected to the second spring 5 through the top rod 3 and arranged in series inside the piston 2. The top rod 3 directly contacts the inner wall of the piston 2, without the need to add a spring seat 9, so as to effectively correct the eccentric force of the top rod 3 in the working process, ensure the stable movement of the top rod 3, optimize the stress state of the spring, and improve the lateral stress condition of the piston 2 in the working process. At the same time, the interaction force between the piston 2 and the sealing ring 6 is reduced, the damage to the sealing ring 6 caused by excessive lateral force is reduced, and the service life of the sealing ring 6 is effectively prolonged.
[0042] Specifically, the first spring 4 and the second spring 5 are made of steel wire cylindrical / conical spiral springs by metal stamping forming process. The spring made of steel wire has good durability and elasticity, and can maintain stable performance in a long period of use. At the same time, the diameter of the first spring 4 is smaller than the diameter of the second spring 5, and the stroke of the first spring 4 is smaller than the stroke of the second spring 5. Not only the load capacity of the system is improved, but also the stability and durability of the spring system are enhanced, so as to ensure that the pedal simulator can provide accurate simulation feedback in different use scenarios.
[0043] By assembling the ejector rod 3, the piston 2, the first spring 4 and the second spring 5 into an integral component, and then installing them into the cylinder 1, the coordinated work of the components can be ensured, thereby optimizing the performance of the entire pedal simulator; in addition, through the fine design of the structure of the cover 7, the first spring 4 and the second spring 5 can be directly arranged in series through the guide rod, thereby greatly saving the structural space, fully utilizing the space of the head of the inner hole of the piston 2, and further reducing the volume of the spring structure; such design makes the overall structure of the pedal simulator more compact, effectively reduces the volume of the spring structure, makes the structure of the entire pedal simulator more compact, effectively reduces the volume and weight of the pedal simulator, and the arrangement volume on the brake valve block is smaller, thereby providing a larger space for the arrangement of other parts.
[0044] As shown in Figs. 1-3, in the present embodiment, the ejector rod 3 is integrally formed by stamping process of metal material, thereby improving the working strength; or the ejector rod 3 can also be made of plastic material, thereby effectively reducing the working noise of the simulator.
[0045] Further, the top rod 3 is provided with a top protruding portion 33 at the top, the cover 7 is embedded with a third spring 8 through riveting fixation, and the third spring 8 is provided with a boss portion 81 at the bottom. The third spring 8 made of rubber material is placed in the cover 7, the flexibility of the rubber material enables it to withstand deformation in a larger range, and it can quickly restore to the original state after being stressed; at the same time, the space occupied by the cover 7 can be effectively reduced; the design of the top protruding portion 33 of the top rod 3 and the bottleneck-shaped boss portion 81 of the third spring 8 can effectively reduce the impact force between the top rod 3 and the third spring 8 when the top rod 3 is ejected and the third spring 8 is contacted, so that the force transmission is more stable, thereby improving the smoothness of the transition connection force between the third spring 8 and the top rod 3 when the third spring 8 starts to work, and avoiding the influence of sudden impact or vibration on the system in the traditional design.
[0046] Embodiment two:
[0047] Please continue to refer to Figures 1-2 On the basis of embodiment one, a spring seat 9 is optionally arranged between the second spring 5 and the top rod 3, and the spring seat 9 is arranged opposite to the top rod 3, and at this time the top rod 3 adopts a hollow design, thereby forming a stable support structure.
[0048] Specifically, the spring seat 9 is integrally formed by stamping process, and is provided with a bending portion 91 which abuts against the second spring 5, and through the contact with the spring, the compression process of the second spring 5 can be effectively guided and controlled, and the fluctuation of the axial movement of the top rod 3 is reduced, thereby improving the reliability and stability of the equipment operation.
[0049] Please continue to refer to Figures 1-10The working principle of the application is as follows: when the cylinder 1 flows into brake fluid, the hydraulic pressure gradually increases, the piston 2 moves along the axis of the cylinder 1 under the action of the hydraulic pressure, the first spring 4 is gradually compressed, and the force of the first spring 4 is transmitted to the second spring 5 through the top rod 3 to provide elastic force to the second spring 5, because the other end of the second spring 5 abuts against the inner wall of the cover 7, the second spring 5 is gradually compressed. After the piston 2 and the top rod 3 are in contact, the first spring 4 is no longer compressed (the change of the force of the first spring 4 with the displacement of the piston 2 simulates the performance curve of the initial stage of the pedal simulator, and the relative position state of each part is as shown in Figure 3 ;
[0050] The piston 2 continues to move along the axis under the action of the hydraulic pressure, gradually pushes the top rod 3 to continue to compress the second spring 5, and the second spring 5 is compressed to a certain extent, and then the top rod 3 contacts the third spring 8 (the change of the force of the second spring 5 with the displacement of the piston 2 simulates the performance curve of the middle stage of the pedal simulator, and the position state of each part is as shown in Figure 4 ;
[0051] The piston 2 continues to move along the axis under the action of the hydraulic pressure, gradually pushes the top rod 3 to continue to compress the second spring 5, and the third spring 8 is also compressed. After the third spring 8 is compressed to the end of the stroke, the end of the piston 2 contacts the step part between the first step part 71 and the second step part 72 of the cover 7 of the simulator, and the piston 2 can no longer move forward because the cover 7 is a rigid part. At this time, the piston 2 reaches the limit of the stroke (the change of the force of the second spring 5 and the third spring 8 with the displacement of the piston 2 simulates the performance curve of the third stage of the pedal simulator, and the position state of each part is as shown in Figure 5 ;
[0052] When the cylinder 1 flows out of the brake fluid, the hydraulic pressure gradually decreases, and each part returns to the initial position under the action of the spring force (as shown in Figure 2 .
[0053] Through the above technical scheme, the structure of the cover 7, the first spring 4 and the second spring 5 and the like is changed, the first spring 4 and the second spring 5 are connected in series through the top rod 3, the structure of the spring is effectively reduced in size by fully utilizing the space of the head structure of the inner hole of the piston 2, the structure of the entire pedal simulator is more compact, the volume and weight of the pedal simulator are effectively reduced, the arrangement volume on the brake valve block is smaller, and a larger space can be provided for the arrangement of other parts.
[0054] The above description of disclosed embodiments enables one of ordinary skill in the art to make or use the application. Various modifications to these embodiments will be readily apparent to those skilled in the art, and the generic principles defined herein can be applied to other embodiments without departing from the spirit or scope of the application. Thus, the present application is not intended to be limited to the embodiments shown herein but is to be accorded the widest scope consistent with the principles and novel features disclosed herein.
