[0031] The working principle of the hydraulic brake system of the utility model is as follows:

[0032] The working principle of the hand brake is as follows: the operator starts the hand brake device 3, the hand brake connecting rod 41 drives the plunger first part 42, the plunger second part 43 and the plunger third part 44 to the left side, the oil in the hand brake pump oil device 4 enters the space between the plunger and the corresponding inner wall on one hand to play a lubricating role, and enters the first pressure cavity 48 along the second through hole 47 on the other hand, when the plunger third part 44 is pushed to completely enter the first pressure cavity 48, the first sealing piece 45 completely blocks the second through hole 47 to avoid the backflow of oil to the oil storage part, at this time, the oil in the first pressure cavity 48 is extruded to generate hydraulic pressure, enters the fourth oil port 573 along the first oil port 49 to generate hydraulic pressure on the third pressure cavity 54, and the oil in the third pressure cavity 54 is pumped into the brake caliper 6 corresponding to the left front wheel FL and the right front wheel FR along the fifth oil port 574 to simultaneously brake the left front wheel and the right front wheel, so as to realize the speed reduction and parking of the vehicle.

[0033] The working principle of the foot brake is as follows: the operator starts the foot brake device 1, the foot brake connecting rod 11 moves rightward to push the first piston 51, the third through hole 511 is no longer communicated with the second oil port 571, the sealing element 56 arranged at the third through hole 511 seals the third through hole 511, at this time, the oil in the second pressure cavity 52 is extruded to generate hydraulic pressure, and the spring in the second pressure cavity 52 is pressed, the hydraulic pressure and the spring simultaneously act on the second piston 53 to drive the second piston 53 to move rightward, the fourth through hole 531 is no longer communicated with the fourth oil port 573, the sealing element 56 arranged at the fourth through hole 531 seals the fourth through hole 511, at this time, the oil in the third pressure cavity 54 is extruded to generate hydraulic pressure, until the pressure in the second pressure cavity 52 and the third pressure cavity 54 reaches balance, the oil in the second pressure cavity 52 and the third pressure cavity 54 is pumped into the brake caliper 6 along the third oil port 572 and the fifth oil port 574 respectively, and the four wheels of the automobile are simultaneously braked to realize driving speed reduction and parking.

[0034] Working principle of simultaneous braking of hand brake and foot brake: if the hand brake brakes first, refer to the description in (I), the oil in the third pressure chamber 54 is pumped into the brake calipers 6 corresponding to the left front wheel FL and the right front wheel FR along the fifth oil port 574, and the left front wheel and the right front wheel are simultaneously braked, and since the limiting screw pin 55 exists, the second piston 53 cannot move to the left side of the initial position, at this time the operator starts the foot brake device 1, refer to the description in (II), the first piston 51 moves to the right, but since the third pressure chamber 54 already has pressure and the pressure is greater than the pressure inside the second pressure chamber 52, only when the foot brake is stepped down strongly can the second piston 53 be slightly driven to move to the right side, and the oil in the second pressure chamber 52 is pumped into the brake calipers 6 corresponding to the left rear wheel RL and the right rear wheel RR along the third oil port 572, and the left rear wheel and the right rear wheel are simultaneously braked, according to the above working principle, in the case of hand brake braking first, the pressure building stroke of the foot brake will be shorter than that of pure foot brake braking, and the foot feeling will be relatively hard. If the foot brake brakes first, refer to the description in (II), the oil inside the second pressure chamber 52 and the third pressure chamber 54 is pumped into the brake calipers 6 along the third oil port 572 and the fifth oil port 574 respectively, and the four wheels of the automobile are simultaneously braked, at this time, when the hand brake is slightly driven, that is, the working hydraulic pressure of the hand brake is less than the working hydraulic pressure of the foot brake, the working liquid of the hand brake cannot enter the third pressure chamber 54, at this time, the pressure building stroke of the hand brake will be shorter than that of pure hand brake braking, and the hand feeling will be relatively hard; if the hand brake is driven strongly, that is, the working hydraulic pressure of the hand brake is greater than the working hydraulic pressure of the foot brake, the working liquid of the hand brake will pass through the second sealing member 56 in the shape of "E" and enter the third pressure chamber 54, thereby increasing the pressure inside the third pressure chamber 54, and at the same time, the second piston 53 is driven to move to the left side, thereby increasing the pressure inside the second pressure chamber 52, and the increased hydraulic pressure in the second pressure chamber 52 and the third pressure chamber 54 is transmitted to the brake calipers 6, thereby strengthening the braking force of the four wheels, if the pressure exceeds the pressure upper limit of the foot brake device 1 at this time, the foot brake connecting rod 11 retreats a certain distance, the working hydraulic pressure decreases, and the pressure of the second pressure chamber 52 and the third pressure chamber 54 reaches a new balance.

[0035] The preferred embodiments of the present application are described above, the protection scope of the present application is not limited to the above-mentioned embodiments, any technical solutions falling within the concept of the present application shall fall within the protection scope of the present application.
