Multiple limiting grooves 24 are arranged in a ring at equal intervals on the folded edge 23. The housing 12 includes a housing cover portion 27, which is disposed on one side of the housing cover 11. A connecting portion 28 is provided at the edge of one side of the housing cover portion 27. Multiple folded pressure plates 29 are arranged in a ring at equal intervals on the side wall of the connecting portion 28. The connection between the connecting portion 28 and the housing cover portion 27 forms a boss-like structure. When the housing cover 11 and the housing 12 are assembled, the cover plate portion 21 extends into the connecting portion 28 and abuts against the boss structure at the connection between the connecting portion 28 and the housing cover portion 27. The folded edge 23 is tightly attached to the inner wall of the connecting portion 28. The two are in an interference fit, so that the housing cover... The cover 11 is tightly assembled with the housing 12. The inner wall of the connecting part 28 fits against the folded edge 23. The folding pressure plate 29 engages with the corresponding limiting groove 24. The engagement of the folding pressure plate 29 with the limiting groove 24 can prevent the cover plate 21 from rotating, thereby avoiding rotational displacement when the cover 11 is assembled on the housing 12. The bent folding pressure plate 29 presses tightly against the cover plate 21, so that the cover plate 21 is stably set on the inner side of the connecting part 28, making it difficult for the cover 11 to detach from the housing 12, thereby strengthening the firmness of the assembly between the cover 11 and the housing 12.

[0021] The control valve assembly 13 consists of components such as an air valve, a vacuum valve, a valve seat, and a reaction disc. It can adjust the balance between the vacuum level and atmospheric pressure inside the vacuum booster, thereby amplifying the force of the driver pressing the brake pedal and achieving a light and efficient braking effect. The input push rod 18 is connected to the air valve of the control valve assembly 13, and the output push rod 19 is connected to the reaction disc of the control valve assembly 13. The control valve assembly 13, the input push rod 18, and the output push rod 19 can be directly purchased from the market. Their specific structure and installation method are common technical means used by those skilled in the art, so they will not be described in detail here.

[0022] Furthermore, an annular groove 15 is provided on the inner wall of the housing 27, and the edge of the diaphragm 14 is engaged between the inner wall of the housing 27 and the annular groove 15. The center of the diaphragm 14 is provided with a hole, and the diaphragm 14 uses the central hole to tightly clamp the outer wall of the control valve assembly 13.

When installing the vacuum booster on the vehicle's braking system, the rubber plug is removed from the vacuum check valve 20, and the vacuum check valve 20 is connected to the engine intake manifold.

[0026] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: when the cover 11 and the housing 12 are assembled together, the cover plate 21 extends into the connecting part 28 and abuts against the boss structure at the connection between the connecting part 28 and the cover part 27. The folded edge 23 is in close contact with the inner wall of the connecting part 28, and the two are in an interference fit, so that the cover 11 and the housing 12 are assembled tightly. At the same time, the folding pressure plate 29 and the limiting groove 24 are used to prevent the cover plate 21 from rotating, thereby avoiding the rotational displacement of the cover 11 when it is assembled on the housing 12. The bent folding pressure plate 29 presses tightly against the cover plate 21, so that the cover plate 21 is stably set on the inner side of the connecting part 28, making it difficult for the cover 11 to detach from the housing 12, thereby strengthening the firmness of the assembly of the cover 11 and the housing 12.

[0027] The above are merely specific embodiments of this utility model, but the protection scope of this utility model is not limited thereto.
