Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of engineering machinery technology, specifically a braking system with cooling for a pure electric loader. Background Technology

[0002] The braking system, a crucial core system of construction machinery, is key to ensuring the safe operation of the entire vehicle. Currently, loader service braking systems utilize traditional foot valve venting, resulting in excessively long pipelines and prolonged brake release times, impacting braking efficiency and performance. Furthermore, due to the operating conditions of loaders, drivers frequently apply the brakes during extended periods, leading to high temperatures in the friction discs. This high temperature then flows into the brake fluid through the brake system. High-temperature brake fluid is prone to vapor lock, reducing braking force. Therefore, a safeguard against overheating and subsequent brake system malfunctions is needed. Utility Model Content

[0028] Example 1

[0029] See attached document Figure 1This embodiment of a pure electric loader with a cooling braking system includes a front brake 9 and a rear brake 8. The front brake 9 is connected to a front booster pump 11, and the rear brake 8 is connected to a rear booster pump 7. The front booster pump 11 and the rear booster pump 7 are connected to a booster pump tank 13 via oil pipes. The booster pump tank 13 is connected to an electronic oil pump 15 via oil pipes. The electronic oil pump 15 is connected to an intercooler 16 via oil pipes, and the intercooler 16 is connected to the booster pump tank 13 via oil pipes. In this embodiment, the braking system, by incorporating an intercooler 16 in the pipelines, cools the hydraulic oil in the oil circuit during braking system operation, preventing braking system malfunctions caused by overheating. It also ensures the braking system operates at a suitable temperature, extending maintenance cycles and service life.

[0030] The front booster pump 11 and the rear booster pump 7 are connected to the quick-release valve 5 via an air hose 6. The quick-release valve 5 is connected to the foot brake valve 3 via the air hose 6, and the foot brake valve 3 is connected to the air reservoir 1 via the air hose 6. When the foot brake valve 3 is released, high-pressure gas is supplied through the foot brake valve 3 and directly discharged into the atmosphere through the quick-release valve 5, reducing the brake release time and avoiding dragging.

[0031] It also includes VCU17, which is connected to air tank pressure sensor 2, braking force air pressure sensor 4, temperature sensor 12 and liquid level sensor 14 via low-voltage wiring harness. The air tank pressure sensor 2, braking force air pressure sensor 4, temperature sensor 12 and liquid level sensor 14 are all common related devices in the prior art.

[0032] The gas storage cylinder 1 is equipped with a safety valve and a filling valve to protect the system pressure and facilitate gas extraction.

[0033] The air inlet and outlet of the foot brake valve 3 are connected to the air reservoir pressure sensor 2 and the braking force air pressure sensor 4, respectively. The quick-release valve 5 integrates a muffler, which can effectively reduce exhaust sound and noise.

[0034] The air hose 6 is an internally embedded steel wire rubber hose. The electronic oil pump 15 is equipped with an electronic control unit, and a temperature sensor 12 is connected to the liquid inlet of the electronic oil pump 15.

[0035] The intercooler 16 has two internal passages: a brake fluid passage and a coolant passage. The brake fluid passage is connected to the brake system pipeline, and the coolant passage is used to transport coolant so that the coolant can carry away the heat of the high-temperature hydraulic oil in the brake fluid passage, thereby achieving cooling. The intercooler 16 is a common type of intercooler in the prior art.

[0036] The above-described embodiments are merely illustrative of certain implementations of this utility model, and their descriptions are relatively specific and detailed. However, they should not be construed as limiting the scope of this utility model patent. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various modifications and improvements without departing from the concept of this utility model, and these modifications and improvements all fall within the protection scope of this utility model. Therefore, the protection scope of this utility model patent should be determined by the appended claims.
