[0028] The right end of the servo electric cylinder piston rod 2 is threadedly connected with the left side of the force sensor 4, the right side of the force sensor 4 is threadedly connected with the left end of the brake valve piston rod 12, the right end of the brake valve piston rod 12 is threadedly connected or welded with the force transmission piston 11, the right end of the force transmission piston 11 is in contact with the left end of the spring 10, the right end of the spring 10 is in contact with the left end of the brake piston 9.

The left end of the connecting sleeve 3 is bolted with the servo electric cylinder, and the right end of the connecting sleeve 3 is bolted with the valve body left flange 5.

[0029] The radial hole a in the middle of the connecting sleeve 3 is the cable hole of the force sensor 4, the valve body 7 has the return oil port T and the inlet oil port P in the radial direction, and the right end cover 8 has the oil port Br.

[0031] In the initial state, the pump source supplies oil to the brake chamber through the inlet oil port P.

The hydraulic oil that leaks from the brake chamber to the spring chamber flows back to the oil tank through the return oil port T. When the output force of the servo cylinder 1 decreases, the force transmitted to the brake piston 9 through the spring 10 decreases, the pressure in the brake chamber decreases, and when the oil pressure and the spring force are balanced, the pressure no longer decreases.

[0032] The force sensor 4 measures the actual output force of the servo cylinder, forms a force closed loop, and accurately controls the output force of the servo cylinder, thereby accurately controlling the pressure in the brake chamber.
