Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to an air brake, belonging to the technical field of air brakes. Background Technology
[0002] Air brakes are a type of handbrake system used in medium and large-sized vehicles. Although widely used in heavy vehicles, their short seal life is a significant drawback. This short seal life leads to a series of problems, such as decreased braking reliability (seal failure causes air pressure leakage, resulting in delayed braking response or even sudden brake failure); increased maintenance costs (frequent seal replacement increases labor and spare parts costs, and vehicle downtime causes economic losses); and safety hazards (seal failure can trigger sudden brake failure, posing a particularly high risk on inclines or at high speeds). The short seal life is due to the high temperatures generated during pneumatic system operation (such as frequent braking causing compressed air to heat up), the hardening and failure of seals in low winter temperatures, and the aging of the same sealing material under long-term oxidation or oil corrosion. Therefore, designing an air brake system is crucial. Utility Model Content

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0019] The principles and characteristics of the utility model are described below in combination with the drawings, and the examples are only used to explain the utility model and not used to limit the scope of the utility model.
[0020] As Figs. 1-2The air brake of the embodiment includes a parking / stop air chamber 1, a service brake chamber 8, and a hydraulic brake cylinder 7. The hydraulic brake cylinder 7 is provided with an oil can 6 above. The parking / stop air chamber 1 is provided with an air chamber piston 11 and a plunger push rod 3 connected with each other. The plunger push rod 3 is provided with an air chamber rubber film 41 and a push rod disc body 4 on the right side. The push rod disc body 4 is provided with a hollow plunger 5 on the right side. The hollow plunger 5 is provided with a spring outside and a positioning head 54 on the right end. The inner wall of the hydraulic brake cylinder 7 and the hollow plunger 5 are sequentially provided with a double O-shaped sealing ring 51, a Y-shaped sealing ring 52, and a nylon guide ring 53.
[0021] The air chamber piston 11 is provided with a nylon guide sleeve ring 13 on the contact side with the parking / stop air chamber 1.
[0022] The nylon guide sleeve ring 13 is provided with an air chamber sealing rubber ring 12 outside. The air chamber sealing rubber ring 12 is located on the contact side of the air chamber piston 11 with the parking / stop air chamber 1.
[0023] The service brake chamber 8 is provided with a breather 55 outside.
[0024] The axial center lines of the conversion pull rod 2, the plunger push rod 3, the hollow plunger 5, and the hydraulic brake cylinder 7 are the same.
[0025] The oil can 6 is provided with an oil path control valve inside.
[0026] The plunger push rod 3 is provided with a double sealing rubber ring 31 on the right end.
[0027] The hydraulic brake cylinder 7 is provided with an oil outlet joint on the right end.
[0028] The plunger push rod 3 is provided with a conversion pull rod 2 inside.
[0029] When the vehicle is running, the compressed air enters the parking / stop air chamber 1 through the air pipe by the accessory hand control valve, the compression of the air chamber spring and the air chamber piston 11 drives the plunger push rod 3 to move backward and into the air chamber, the service brake chamber brake push rod disc body 4 is moved, under the action of the brake chamber return spring, the hollow plunger 5 for brake is in a non-working state. At the same time, the positioning head 54 at the top end of the hollow plunger 5 piston pulls off the valve rod at the control valve assembly, and the brake oil in the oil can 6 is injected into the hydraulic brake cylinder 7 by high pressure difference flow.
[0030] When braking is needed during driving, the foot brake pedal is stepped on, compressed gas enters the service brake chamber 8 through the air pipe, pushes the rubber diaphragm 41, pushes the brake push rod disc 4, and drives the hollow plunger 5 to move forward; during the movement, the positioning head 54 at the top of the hollow plunger 5 is separated from the oil valve at the control valve assembly, and under the action of the spring above the control valve assembly, the oil valve body at the control valve assembly blocks the oil path between the hydraulic cylinder body and the oil canister 6, and under the condition of gradually increasing pressure, the oil path is tightly sealed, so that the hydraulic brake cylinder 7 forms a sealed pressure cylinder body; with the movement of the hollow plunger 5, the oil outlet connector at the top of the hydraulic brake cylinder 7 is connected with the wheel cylinder, the wheel cylinder is driven to work, and the hydraulic braking force required for braking is generated, so that the braking requirement is met.
[0031] When the vehicle needs to be parked, the compressed gas in the parking storage chamber is released through the accessory hand control valve, so that the spring of the storage chamber pushes the air chamber piston 11 under the action of the spring, drives the plunger push rod 3, pushes the brake push rod disc 4 and the hollow plunger 5 of the service brake chamber 8, and the piston moves forward, so that the brake fluid is compressed and power is transmitted, and the parking brake is realized.
[0032] The hollow plunger 5 is used to replace the traditional solid push rod structure, which reduces the weight of the equipment and the manufacturing cost, the increased diameter of the hollow plunger 5 greatly increases the stability of the hollow plunger 5 during operation, the structure of the hollow plunger 5 reduces heat conduction and the working temperature in the hydraulic brake cavity; the sealing structure of the double O-shaped sealing ring 51, the Y-shaped sealing ring 52 and the nylon guide ring 53 is arranged in the hydraulic brake cylinder 7, different sealing structures jointly bear the operation of the hollow plunger 5, avoid the defects of the same structure, same material and same service life of the sealing part, the extension of the guide point of the nylon guide ring 53 supports the biasing force during the operation of the hollow plunger 5, reduces the biasing of the O-shaped sealing ring 51 and the Y-shaped sealing ring 52, prolongs the service life, the precise cooperation of the oil control valve and the positioning head 54 controls the oil demand of the hydraulic brake cylinder 7, the tight sealing structure ensures the generation of pressure and eliminates the risk of leakage; the breather 55 is arranged to ensure the air circulation of the service brake chamber 8, greatly reduces the entry of dust and dirty gas, and prolongs the service life.
[0033] The above only describes the preferred embodiments of the present application, and is not used to limit the present application, any modification, equivalent replacement, improvement, etc. made within the spirit and principles of the present application shall be included in the protection scope of the present application.
