[0022] The brake system of a virtual tram generally uses an integrated electronic control unit to control and drive functional modules. Specifically, the main interface of the brake system can include 7 digital input channels, 3 digital output channels, 6 AD sampling channels, 2 speed acquisition channels, 6 valve driving channels, 2 Ethernet communication channels, and 4 address jumpers. However, due to the high integration of the electronic control unit, the control of the components of the brake system mainly relies on external power input. In addition, due to the small number of brake information input channels, it is difficult to collect sufficient signals, which reduces the accuracy of the brake system in judging the state of the vehicle. Correspondingly, due to the small number of brake information output interfaces, the control ability of the brake valve group is weak, which is not conducive to the implementation of braking.
[0023] In order to overcome the above-mentioned defects existing in the prior art, the present application urgently needs a brake system and a tram for making the brake valve group more integrated and improving the accuracy and control ability of the brake implementation.
[0024] In some non-limiting embodiments, the brake system provided by the first aspect of the present application can be configured in the tram provided by the second aspect of the present application. Specifically, the tram includes a vehicle body system, which is provided with the brake system according to any one of the first aspect of the present application.
[0025] For details, please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 1 The structure of the brake system provided by some embodiments of the present application is shown.
[0026] As Figure 1 shown, the brake system includes a brake valve group, a signal input channel and a signal output channel. The brake valve group includes a plurality of brake sub-components and a plurality of DC voltage output channels, wherein the brake sub-components are used to execute vehicle braking control instructions, and the first end of the plurality of DC voltage output channels is connected to a first DC power supply, and the second end thereof is respectively connected to the corresponding brake sub-components to supply power thereto. The signal input channel includes a plurality of digital input channels and a plurality of analog input channels, wherein the digital input channels are used to collect brake digital signals, and the analog input channels are used to collect brake analog signals. The signal output channel includes a plurality of digital output channels, which are used to output brake control instructions to the brake valve group.
[0027] Specifically, the multi-channel DC voltage output channel can be set as a 12-channel 24V output channel, so that the brake valve group can independently supply power to other sub-components of the brake system without borrowing the power supply of the vehicle, thereby improving the overall performance of the brake system.
[0028] The digital quantity input channel can be set as 20 channels, and the analog quantity input channel can be 8 channels. Here, the analog quantity can include voltage or current type analog quantity signals. The digital quantity output channel can be set as 6 channels.
[0029] In this way, on the one hand, by increasing the number of collection channels, the brake system can fully collect various analog and digital signals required for monitoring, so that the brake system can more accurately judge the state of the vehicle, and then accurately output brake instructions to implement braking. On the other hand, with the increase of the output channel, the brake system can have the control ability of multiple brake valve groups, so that the braking is more synchronous and effective, and the accuracy and control ability of implementing braking are improved.
[0030] In some embodiments, the brake valve group supplies power to a plurality of brake sub-components via a first connector XT4 and is grounded via a second connector XT5. The plurality of brake sub-components includes control sub-components and execution sub-components. The brake system further includes a multi-channel 2A channel and a multi-channel 4A channel. Here, the multi-channel 2A channel can be set as 4 channels, and the multi-channel 4A channel can be set as 4 channels.
[0031] The multi-channel 2A channel connects the brake valve group via the first connector XT4 to drive the control sub-components. For example, the control brake system solenoid valve, the driving current is 2.5A. The multi-channel 4A channel connects the brake valve group via the first connector XT4 to drive the execution sub-components. The brake valve group with larger driving current is suitable for controlling the execution mechanism with higher power demand, and the driving current is 4A.
[0032] In some embodiments, the signal input channel collects brake digital signals and brake analog signals via the second connector XT5. The signal output channel outputs brake control instructions to the brake valve group via the first connector XT4 and the relay.
[0033] In some embodiments, the brake system further includes a terminal row that connects the relay, the first connector XT4, the second connector XT5 via a wire harness, and performs intermediate transition and distribution of the wire harness.
[0034] In some embodiments, the first connector XT4 is a 37-pin connector for output of the power supply of the brake system, output of the brake valve group control quantity, and output of the digital quantity. The second connector XT5 is a 37-pin connector for collection of analog and digital quantities of the brake system, and input of the ground of the brake valve group.
[0035] Further, the brake system further comprises: a third connector XT1, which is a 5-core connector, and connects the terminal array for low-voltage power distribution system main power supply and grounding of the brake system; and / or fourth connectors XT2, XT3, which are 9-core connectors, and connect CAN channels.
[0036] In some embodiments, the brake system further comprises an internal power module, an air switch, and an activation switch. The internal power module is used to supply power to the brake system. The air switch is connected in series with the power supply circuit of the internal power module via the terminal array, and is used for short-circuit protection, control, and isolation when the line current is too large. The activation switch is connected in series with the power supply circuit of the internal power module via the terminal array, and is manually operated when the activation signal of the controller needs to be disconnected or closed.
[0037] In some embodiments, the brake system further comprises a second DC power supply, which is connected to the terminal array via the third connector XT1 to drive other devices outside the brake valve group in the brake system. In this case, the second DC power supply can be set as a 24V low-voltage power supply.
[0038] In some embodiments, the brake system further comprises multiple CAN channels (for example, 4 channels). The multiple CAN channels can interact with the brake CAN network for data interaction. Each CAN channel is connected to a plurality of fourth connectors XT2, XT3, and is connected to the controller via a distributor for CAN channel hand-in-hand connection.
[0039] In some embodiments, the brake system further comprises an ETH channel, which is connected to the brake ETH network via an ETH connector for ETH communication information interaction.
