Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of automotive parts technology, specifically to an automotive air brake hose. Background Technology

[0002] In automotive braking systems, air brake hoses play a crucial role, transmitting compressed air to effectively control the vehicle's braking system. However, existing air brake hoses suffer from several problems. Firstly, some hoses lack sufficient pressure resistance, easily bulging and cracking under prolonged high pressure, leading to air leakage and severely impacting braking performance and driving safety. For instance, in the frequent braking conditions of heavy trucks, ordinary air brake hoses cannot withstand frequent high-pressure impacts, resulting in a short lifespan. Secondly, existing air brake hoses lack flexibility. During vehicle operation, vibrations and relative movement of components cause frequent bending, and hoses with poor flexibility are prone to fatigue damage at bends, reducing their sealing performance and potentially causing braking system failure. Furthermore, some air brake hoses have unsatisfactory wear resistance. In the complex environment of the vehicle chassis, friction with surrounding components can damage the hose surface, shortening its lifespan. Therefore, developing a higher-performance automotive air brake hose is of significant practical importance. Utility Model Content

[0021] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0022] Please see Figures 1-4 This utility model provides a technical solution: an automotive air brake hose, comprising an air brake hose body 1, an inner rubber layer 2 inside the brake hose body 1, a reinforcing layer 3 inside the brake hose body 1 located at the outer end of the inner rubber layer 2, a flame-retardant layer 4 inside the brake hose body 1 located at the outer end of the reinforcing layer 3, and an outer rubber layer 5 inside the brake hose body 1 located at the outer end of the flame-retardant layer 4. The inner rubber layer 2 enhances the oil resistance and corrosion resistance of the brake hose body 1; the reinforcing layer 3 enhances the pressure resistance of the brake hose body 1; and the outer rubber layer 5 enhances the wear resistance and flexibility of the brake hose body 1.

[0023] Several anti-slip protrusions 6 are evenly fixedly installed on the outer end of the brake hose body 1. An installation adjustment collar 7 is movably sleeved on the outer end of the brake hose body 1. A first connecting pipe seat 8 is fixedly installed on the top end of the brake hose body 1. A first metal connecting pipe 9 is fixedly installed on the top end of the first connecting pipe seat 8. A first sealing washer 10 is sleeved on the outer end of the first metal connecting pipe 9. A first connecting nut 11 is movably sleeved on the outer end of the first metal connecting pipe 9. A first connecting internal thread 12 is opened inside the first connecting nut 11. A second connecting pipe seat 13 is fixedly installed on the bottom end of the brake hose body 1. A second metal connecting pipe 14 is fixedly installed on the bottom end of the second connecting pipe seat 13. A second sealing washer 15 is sleeved on the outer end of the second metal connecting pipe 14. A second connecting nut 16 is movably sleeved on the outer end of the second metal connecting pipe 14. A second connecting internal thread 17 is opened inside the second connecting nut 16. The first connecting internal thread 12 and the second connecting internal thread 17 in the first connecting nut 11 and the second connecting nut 16 facilitate the connection between the brake hose body 1 and the two ends of the equipment.

[0024] Working Principle: The inner rubber layer 2 enhances the oil and corrosion resistance of the brake hose body 1. Made of nitrile rubber, this layer effectively resists oil and chemicals carried by compressed air in the braking system, ensuring the airtightness of the hose and preventing leakage. The reinforcing layer 3 enhances the pressure resistance of the brake hose body 1. This layer is woven from multiple layers of high-strength steel wire, tightly wrapped around the inner rubber layer 2, providing strong pressure resistance. The multi-layered steel wire braid structure evenly distributes the stress generated by internal air pressure, preventing hose rupture due to excessive local pressure. The outer rubber layer 5 enhances the wear resistance and flexibility of the brake hose body 1. Made of neoprene rubber, this layer possesses excellent wear resistance, weather resistance, and flexibility. Its wear resistance effectively prevents damage from friction with surrounding components in the complex environment of the vehicle chassis; its weather resistance ensures the hose remains undamaged. Under different climatic conditions, such as high temperature, low temperature, and humidity, it can still maintain good performance. The flexibility allows the hose to adapt to the frequent bending caused by vehicle vibration and relative movement of components during vehicle operation, reducing fatigue damage caused by bending and extending its service life. The flame-retardant layer 4 improves the flame-retardant and fire-resistant efficiency of the brake hose body 1. The flame-retardant layer 4 is made of fiberglass cloth, which has good flame-retardant properties. In extreme cases such as a car fire, it can prevent the flame from spreading to the inside of the hose structure, avoiding more serious safety accidents caused by the combustion of the air brake hose and improving the safety of the vehicle braking system. The first connecting internal thread 12 and the second connecting internal thread 17 in the first connecting nut 11 and the second connecting nut 16 facilitate the connection between the brake hose body 1 and the two ends of the equipment. The position of the installation adjustment collar 7 can be moved according to the installation needs to facilitate the installation and fixation of the middle position of the brake hose body 1, improving the installation stability of the brake hose body 1.
