Auxiliary braking system of off-highway dumper
By designing a hydraulic caliper disc auxiliary braking system on off-highway dump trucks, the problems of thermal fade and motor reverse drag braking failure of pneumatic drum braking systems under heavy loads on downhill slopes are solved. This provides redundant parking braking force, ensures that the braking torque matches the load, and improves safety and reliability.

AI Technical Summary
The existing pneumatic drum braking system of off-highway dump trucks is prone to insufficient braking force due to thermal fade when going downhill under heavy load, and the motor reverse drag braking fails when the high-voltage battery pack is overcharged, which poses a safety hazard. An independent auxiliary braking scheme is needed to provide redundant parking braking force.
Design a hydraulic caliper disc auxiliary braking system that is connected in parallel with the original vehicle parking brake system. High-pressure oil is stored through a hydraulic control unit and an accumulator. The auxiliary brake is installed on the drive shafts of the middle and rear axles. The braking state is switched using an electromagnetic reversing valve and a manual reversing mechanism. An overflow valve and a pressure detection unit are integrated to ensure the system's safety and reliability.
When the main braking system experiences thermal fade or failure, it quickly provides additional parking braking force, improving safety during heavy-load downhill driving and parking, ensuring that the braking torque matches the vehicle load, avoiding insufficient braking force or overload, and the system is independent and has a fast response speed, thus improving the overall vehicle safety.
